Rope was also struck with emotion as he watched the scene in front of him.
Hovering cars, self-running robots are doing the work of directing traffic, cleaning garbage, and even walking dogs to buy food.
Rope knew with his eyes that the technology tree of this world was much higher than that of his original world. Even the world of Pokémon might not be more powerful than this world.
After a certain level of technological development, mechs, colonies, and even robots could be counted as individual combatants and recorded. So it's not that technological civilizations are strong as a whole and their individual strength lags behind that of cultivation or other civilizations.
Inherent thinking has to be avoided.
And such a world, although it looked lively, inexplicably gave Rope a feeling of desolation.
Rope had some vague guesses. But before he could strike up a conversation with any of them, he heard a mournful alarm.
"Beep beep!!!"
A hovercycle sped past, while all the hovercycles on the road all made way for him.
Rope saw that there was scarlet smoke lingering out of the carriage of that speeder.
Rope then pulled a robot who was buying groceries and preparing to go home and asked, "Why is this car running so fast?"
The robot didn't get angry at being pulled in such a forceful manner, but replied seriously and respectfully, "Hello sir, this is an ambulance that has taken in the Abyssal infected, and they have to race against the Abyss so that the people inside can be saved as promptly as possible."
"Thanks..."
"Tsk, netting these platitudes that the government made up to fool us."
Although Rope didn't finish his sentence, the robot bowed very respectfully to Rope and said, "It's good to be of help to you, housekeeping robot QK-233 at your service."
After saying that, the robot with the name QL-233 simply left.
Rope, on the other hand, turned around and looked back at the bearded... teenager who was looking disdainfully at the robot's back.
The teenager also looked at the guy in front of him.
"You're an alien?"
The teenager used a question, but it was in a very definite tone.
Rope was more or less uncomfortable with the alien title. After all, hearing this word in the original world was generally speaking not a good thing. For example, if there was a person who complimented you for looking like an alien, your thought would probably be to beat him up as an alien.
But the situation in front of him was clearly different.
Because to the teenager, this Rope guy was an actual alien.
"Emm, sort of, do you have any particular insight? On the ambulance that was just there."
Rope pondered for a moment before finally deciding not to think about it so much and just asked.
The teenager snorted again.
"And what an ambulance, it was clearly a hearse. I've never seen one come out of the hospital again."
"And what abyssal ambulance technology. Who doesn't know that this thing isn't even salvageable!"
The teenager's emotions grew more and more agitated, and as he said the last of them, Rope saw the flash of scarlet under his eyes.
Rope's eyes steeply sank, but before he could do anything, the streetlights around him suddenly lit up red, followed by the sound of an alarm.
[Abyssal Infected found, Abyssal Infected found, please avoid the surrounding residents as soon as possible! Please evacuate the neighborhood as soon as possible!]
As the alarm sounded. The people who had originally walked by their side almost all dissipated in an instant, leaving only the echo of their screams.
The people around him shunned him.
A desperate smile appeared on the teenager's face.
"This planet, it's over."
The teenager said, paralyzed on the ground, and did not continue in the meaning of saying something, just a little downcast head down, do not know what in the memory.
And Rope knew that what he said was not wrong, this world was really about to end. After all, Rope had gotten a basic understanding of the Abyssal contamination on the small ship before he came.
It was something that had no solution, and would even cause the abyssal contamination to expand and form an abyssal rift because of the delay, thus causing a piece of the star field around here to be uninhabitable for normal people.
And at the same time, all creatures would be eroded into the Shadow of the Abyss. That was the weakest product amongst the Abyss, but also the most terrifying, because of their numbers, and where they came from. It was as if, ghosts weren't scary, but ghosts turned by people were. In the same way, an Abyssal Shadow with reason and intelligence was simply something that the entire void felt a headache.
The only way to stop this from happening... could only be to destroy the entire planet as a unit and nip the Abyss in the bud, or else once he grew up, then it wouldn't be just this one planet that would receive the threat.
Rope looked at the teenager in front of him with a strange mood, and the unpleasant siren sounded in his ears once again.
"Aren't you leaving yet? They'll take you away later too."
The teen asked, but heard no answer.
Somewhat puzzled, he raised his head, but was surprised to find that the person who had just been in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
And the only thing in front of his eyes was the person wearing an isolation suit who didn't know if he was a doctor or not, and the ambulance that was flashing with a red light.
The teenager gave a bitter laugh.
"It's good to be gone, it's good to be gone. As long as we leave this planet, won't we be safe?"
The teenager in the bitter smile, the oncoming ambulance crew pounced on the ground, pressed down, and then bound his limbs, the action was very rough.
Teenage boy's eyes are godless will be paramedics do not know whether to rescue or imprisoned on the car. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the scarlet glow around the teenager grew brighter and brighter.
Rope, on the other hand, was on the roof of the building, witnessing it all unfold.
From all indications, this planet was indeed facing the problem of Abyssal contamination... and in the face of Abyssal contamination, there seemed to be only one choice Rope could make.
No matter who in this world, it was impossible for anyone to make any other choice. Even if Rope had practiced precision strikes and obliterated the contaminated part, it would still be impossible to save the planet.
This planet...had already begun to step into the realm of death.
Rope looked at what was in front of him for a long time.
If it was true that there was no more need to save this world, then what exactly was the purpose of Al putting himself into this illusion?
Rope pondered, but couldn't get any useful answers for a while.
Outside the realm of illusion, Al was holding a cup of tea, looking at the picture in the smoke, the familiar face on the picture, and that familiar tangle made him fall into silence.
Rope, what is it that you're torn about?
Is it the answer to the question?
Or the final choice?
