I’m the fourth calamity, but they call me a saint
Chapter 371 The moment when the sun shines
Chapter 371 The moment when the sun shines
Two years have passed, and although the memory has become a little vague, Levi still has not forgotten what the door of the test room looked like when he was sent to the test room.
He stared at the door absentmindedly, with countless questions flashing through his mind.
A prank by the drama crew?
The final Easter egg of the game plot?
In reality, other people are already on the verge of rescuing themselves?
At this moment, he thought a lot and made a lot of guesses, but he did not stop moving forward.
When he came to the door, Levi put his hand on the door handle. His hand was trembling slightly, as if he had a foreknowledge of what was behind the door!
“Squeak~”
Even the rusty sound the hinges made when opening and closing was exactly the same.
Levi pushed the door open and walked in. It was an old game testing room with various instruments placed inside.
Used to capture brain waves, present real-time images, and record various data of the human body.
There was everything, and everything was exactly the same as when Levi first walked into this room two years ago!
The only difference is that the ground, which should have been clean and tidy, is now littered with all kinds of messy papers, making the surroundings look a mess.
Levi didn’t look at the papers. He even held his breath subconsciously, and all his attention was focused on the last position in the test room.
That’s where the game cabin is placed, and also where the last piece of the rules fragment is!
But when Levi passed the surrounding instruments and actually saw what was at that location, he discovered that there was no game cabin there, only a coffin-shaped freezer!
Covering the entire freezer is a transparent glass cover with a piece of paper stuck on it.
[Name: Li Wei]
[Sealed on: January 2025, 1]
[Reason: Due to test failure, try to wake up in the future]
The moment he saw the information on the paper, Levi felt like everything in his mind was about to explode!
He took two more steps forward and finally saw the face of the person sealed in the freezer through the gray glass!
It was a young and delicate face.
A face that was extremely familiar to Levi, so familiar that he would see it every morning when he got up two years ago, brushing his teeth and washing his face, and he would feel complacent and narcissistic about it!
The person lying in the freezer, frozen in the ice, was himself!
this moment.
Levi didn’t know what expression appeared on his face.
panic?
Frightened?
Scared?
At a loss?
Confused?
He didn’t understand and couldn’t figure it out. He just felt that his mind was in a mess at that moment!
“The person inside is you?”
A light female voice sounded, and 627 appeared beside him at some point. She had heard Li Wei tell Li Ming that his real last name was also Li, and now it matched the name on the freezer!
Levi’s breathing became rapid and heavy, but as he took conscious deep breaths, the emotions that were originally too intense to be expressed in words gradually became calm and rational again.
“It’s me. On January 2025, 1, I signed the paid testing regulations and entered the game cabin.”
“Then something unexpected happened during the test! You didn’t successfully enter the so-called game at all! Instead, you were brain dead, and the game company couldn’t solve the problem, so they chose to freeze your body! They want to wait until the future to solve it!”
It was Guang who shouted. His consciousness had already been weakened to the extreme at this time! But he seemed to be more excited and excited than Levi!
“But the catastrophe happened on June 2025, 6! From that day on, the world was destroyed! Everything was destroyed! This is what happened in reality! It is reality! This world is not a game! We have done so much and experienced so much! It is not a bunch of meaningless data! You are not a player at all! You are an ancient! You are an ancient who awakened to self-awareness in the future!!!”
Guang yelled like a madman.
627 was looking at Levi who was standing there in a daze, his eyes clearly revealing a kind of heartache that was impossible to appear with the current level of artificial intelligence.
“But you are in the void and chaos, how can consciousness appear in biological human 626?”
Levi did not notice the changes in 627. He just moved his eyes down in the freezer and saw half a stone with a faint red light lying quietly in his chest and abdomen!
And on that stone there was a line that was invisible to the naked eye, but represented the rules, along with the fragment of biological rules that he found from the archdiocese.
“The genes of the Twilight Church about the humans on earth were collected by Lao Le from the fragments of rules underground, including the fragment in front of us, which was sent by me, as Levi’s consciousness.”
As Levi opened his mouth to answer, he had already reached his hand into the freezer. When his hand touched the glass surface, it was like reaching into the water. It penetrated through without any hindrance. He then took out the piece of rule fragment in the freezer, which was obviously only half left!
After obtaining the fragment, no player information popped up.
The moment Levi realized that the person lying in the freezer was himself, the player information he knew disappeared completely along with the correction and change of his cognition.
The so-called final reward of being able to return after collecting all the fragments was ultimately just his wishful thinking.
But this scene made Guang, who was already almost crazy, scream again.
“No! No!! You have clearly realized that you are not a player, and you also know that this world exists. Your worldview has been corrected, so why do you still have these powers and abilities that you obtained due to your wrong cognition!!!”
In fact, not only that, Levi could even feel that as long as he wanted, he could leave a resurrection point on the spot and still achieve immortality and resurrection from the dead.
The key lies in the half of the rule fragment that Levi got!
“Geology, physics, biology, chemistry, and atmosphere. These fragments do not actually represent specific disciplines. It is you who have formulated these disciplinary models. Humanity’s own concepts have influenced the five fragments that together represent natural disciplines, turning them into five different things.”
With his current control over the rules and his understanding of these things after obtaining the seven fragments, Levi can clearly figure out a clue.
“But the remaining two fragments are exceptions. The one that was once stored in the academy represents the granting of rules. Its existence led to the emergence of scientists who mastered the rules of nature, and the emergence of scientists, who are inherently unequal. And here, the last fragment that protects this room from damage represents confiscation.”
“Confiscate!!!” Guang’s voice became sharp, as if he heard the word for the first time.
“Confiscate.” Levi repeated, “It can also be called the self-repair program of natural rules. The meaning of its existence is to repair the broken nature. After nature was shattered, it fell into this room and on me who was frozen in the ice. My dormant consciousness became the best tool for it to drive its repair authority.”
“So, a biological man 626 appeared underground, created from the genes of humans on the ground. Deep in his consciousness was a soul that had been dormant due to a failed game test. This soul had already merged with the rules themselves when he was on the ground.”
As Levi spoke softly, he held in his palm the half piece of rule fragment that he took out of the freezer.
The rule itself, which could never be destroyed and could never disappear, melted like ice and snow and merged into Levi’s body!
“So, what I thought was the player panel and what players should have were just rational explanations of the rules to suit my cognition, and these abilities themselves were what the repair rules should have.”
“The laws of nature cannot be destroyed, and I am the law itself.”
“Then of course I am immortal.”
Guang became quiet, as if his madness had finally been cured, and he was speechless at this fact.
627 suddenly became nervous. She held Levi’s arm tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear and was unwilling to let go!
“If that’s the case, if that’s the case, then if you repair the broken nature and restore the rules to nature, then…then will you…”
“It will become the most objective along with nature, without thoughts or consciousness, only the existence of eternal rules.” Levi added what she didn’t dare to finish.
At this moment, 627 suddenly hugged Levi like a cat whose tail was stepped on and its fur stood on end.
“No! Absolutely not!!”
Tears kept falling from her eyes like beads that had broken off the string!
“626 No! It’s Levi! I don’t care who you were before! Why did you come to this world! You were created from my hands! You are my son! I won’t allow you to become like that! Let’s not repair it, okay? Now all the bad guys have been killed by you! Then it won’t be a bad thing even if humans live underground! Right? This is also a happy ending! Everything in the future will be fine! Everything will be fine! You don’t have to pay so much! It’s enough! It’s enough!”
Levi didn’t answer her, but just looked into her eyes.
“Was it when the fragment of rules was discovered under the archdiocese?”
627 Or rather, Le Yue nodded vigorously while crying.
“It was that time! It was that time that I woke up! No matter whether you recognize me or not! No matter what you think! I will never change my love for you, Levi! I have lost you countless times! Please! Don’t let me repeat this torture again!” Levi did not answer her and fell into silence.
At this moment, the originally silent light became active again!
“Didn’t you say before that we don’t want to go back to the past because we can’t let go of the power in our hands? What about you now? The whole underground world treats you as a saint! But what’s the difference between a despicable and hypocritical person like you and the rest of us? You can’t let it go either! No one can let it go! The opportunity to be above everyone else is right here, so why do you want to be an ordinary person? Right? Hahahaha!”
In fact, he had gone crazy a long time ago. When he was afraid whether this world was an illusion or real, when he was sure that this was not a game world, Guang had already become a madman.
Levi did not argue, nor did he even listen to his shouting and ridicule. He just gently helped Le Yue wipe the tears from her face.
“Do you know why I signed that agreement and took the risk even though I knew testing games was dangerous?”
Le Yue sobbed and shook her head.
“I’m just an ordinary office worker. I can’t earn much even if I work myself to death. Everyone around me works day and night. They have various reasons, but they all have one thing in mind: they have to make a living, to support themselves and their families.”
“But times have clearly changed for the better. In the past, people didn’t have good houses to live in, and they didn’t know how many meals they could have throughout the year. There were no games, no internet, and no electronic entertainment. Now most of these things are available. As long as you are willing to work, you won’t starve or freeze to death, and you can even live a pretty good life. But they are getting more and more tired, more and more angry, more and more disappointed, and more and more dissatisfied with the world.”
“Is this their problem? Are they greedy and unsatisfied with the status quo? They always want better. It is not enough to have enough food, they want to wear good clothes, but wearing good clothes is not enough, they want to live in a big house. They are not satisfied with a big house, they want a big house in a good location in a big city.”
“But why? Is it because of human nature? Because that’s how people are?”
Levi’s question made Le Yue forget to cry, and Guang was no longer crazy. Both of them seemed to fall into thought unconsciously.
Why is it that even though life is getting better and better, people are becoming more and more tired, angry, disappointed and dissatisfied?
“But there is no such thing as human nature.” Li Wei said seriously, “People’s so-called personality is given by society and the collective. There is no point in discussing this issue from an individual perspective. Therefore, this question can only be answered by society and the collective. Life has improved, but they have such negative emotions because they feel the gap, or inequality.”
“When times were hard, everyone knew it. At that time, everyone’s life was hard, so no one thought it was a big deal.”
“But life is better now, and some people’s lives are even better, to a degree that normal people can’t even imagine. We are all human beings, and there is no difference between us. We are all working hard, and some people are not working hard at all. But why can they eat those delicacies that others have never heard of, live in good houses with hospitals nearby, go to the best schools, and have shopping malls everywhere, and enjoy the same meticulous and even dignity-sacrificing services as other people who breathe the same air, are born by the same parents, and are raised by their parents?”
“Because of this comparison and this gap, they will feel anxious, disappointed, tired and angry. The most direct manifestation is their seemingly greedy behavior!”
“They themselves may not realize that they are not greedy, they hate injustice and are hostile to inequality!”
Levi pointed at himself.
“Me too, I hate it too, but I used to work in a company and was just an ordinary clerk, so I can’t do anything about it. I may see things a little more clearly than others, but what can I change?”
“My biological parents died very early, and I lived on my own when I was very young. I hate having my efforts and labor exploited by those people day after day, so I want to take this test and give it a try! I want to fight for a chance to completely lay low in the future!”
“Then, I came here and experienced what happened in the past two years.”
Levi’s words stunned Le Yue and turned Guang into a mute.
“Because I think this is a game, so of course I have to do what I want to do. Starting from the Suns, I kept killing those bastards who were high and mighty, who enjoyed this inequality, who supported this inequality, and who didn’t treat other people as human beings! I kept killing and killing until now!”
“So, am I going to become such a scumbag?”
Levi asked calmly and seriously.
It didn’t sound like he was asking Le Yue a question, but more like a statement.
“When natural rules no longer belong to nature but are controlled by humans, the most fundamental equality in this world will be broken. No matter how the system changes, no matter how morality improves, people who control the rules are inherently nobler than ordinary people. That is really disgusting and nauseating. I can’t accept it. I really can’t accept it.”
At this moment, after hearing Li Wei’s sincere words, Le Yue couldn’t help but shed tears again.
She understood that she couldn’t change Levi’s decision.
This is what he wants to do and the ending he wants. He will not succumb to anyone and he will make his own choice!
Guang completely turned into a dead man. He seemed to be ashamed and angry. The flame of his consciousness flickered twice for the last time and then disappeared.
Looking at Le Yue who threw herself into his arms and couldn’t help crying, Li Wei hugged her and patted her on the back.
“You should be happy about your son’s choice. Since I agreed to call you mom, I will not deny that I am your son. Now your son is willing to devote himself to such a lofty ideal. As a mother, how proud you should be.”
“I don’t want to be proud! I want you to be alive!” Le Yue raised her face, her eyes were red, and she stared into Levi’s eyes, “But but I am willing to respect your choice. I don’t want to lose you, not at all, but this is what you want to do!”
Levi bent down and kissed her forehead, smiling.
“Thank you for your respect.”
He let go of Le Yue, and the remaining six fragments of rules appeared in his hand. Including himself, all seven fragments were now here.
Levi took a deep breath at last. He looked at Le Yue as if he was looking at everyone he had ever met in this world, and said with the brightest smile.
“I’ve always thought that I could go home after completing this mission, so changing the world back to its original state is also a way for me to go home, right?”
The moment he finished speaking, all the fragments merged together!
Those fragments of rules seemed to be vaporized and disappeared, vanishing without a trace in an instant!
Levi still stood there, as if nothing had happened and nothing had changed, but he felt that something had indeed changed!
He was in a daze, and Le Yue, whose face was full of tears, was also in a daze.
This silence lasted for a long time, and then Levi seemed to realize that he needed to verify it. He turned around and walked to the door.
The door handle was pressed and the door was gently opened from the inside.
The bright sunshine shines in, the fresh air blows in, the outside is no longer a dark chaos, no longer a nothingness, sunshine, sky, grass, soil, animals, air, wind, water
Everything, everything that this world should have is here!
Levi is here too!
The authority of nature returned to nature, and all the specialness of Le Yue disappeared. She turned back into her young appearance and became an ordinary girl except that she was beautiful and had adult thoughts. However, Levi was not assimilated by the rules!
The opposite is
The same thought as before flashed through his mind. The world, which had returned to normal and become its original state, seemed to have lost gravity at this moment, and everything seemed to be floating!
The next second, under Levi’s control, everything returned to normal!
He turned his head and stared blankly at Le Yue who was already extremely surprised and excited.
“I don’t seem to be assimilated by the rules, but the rules are assimilated by me.”
The petite body hugged him again, tightly, unwilling to let go even if she died!
“You have become the only god in this world! Levi!”
Finally, Levi reacted and shook his head and said seriously.
“I don’t want to be a god,”
He laughed, and laughed so happily!
“But I feel that I can do something on my own to eliminate injustice!”
He opened his arms and let the sunlight shine down.
At that moment, all men were created equal.
