In the CyberLife warehouse, Hank decisively shot the fake Connor.
"It's not androids that are wrong, but that doctor and this world where people can only find comfort in a powder…"
"I learned a lot from knowing you, Connor… Maybe there's something truly special about it… Maybe you really have life, maybe you can make this world better… Go ahead and do what you need to do."
Looking at Connor in front of him, Hank put his gun away and nodded.
All the sleeping androids woke up with Connor's touch.
At the same time, Kara, who had used the ticket Zack selfishly held onto and arrived at the border, saw a scene that made her breathless.
Here, all travelers passing through the border had to queue for inspection. The inspection included checking identification and taking their temperature.
If detected as an android, there was no hope of crossing the border; they would be immediately captured by the military.
Although Kara and Luther had gotten identification in Jericho from Marcus and the others that could be used to get by, their body temperature could never fool the machines.
At the border, Kara saw the kind elderly woman who had been helping her, and they hugged in the restroom.
She also saw Jerry, an android she had previously saved. He said that if Kara needed anything, he would try to repay her and see if he could help Kara cross the border.
But the outcome was obvious.
And could she really get through by relying on him?
But by this point, Kara had no reason to turn back.
But she still had choices: sacrifice herself, sacrifice Luther, or sacrifice Jerry.
But players who had reached this point, how could they choose the three options above?
Whether it was the player or Kara in the game, they followed the line with little hope, holding Alice's hand, step by step towards the inspection point.
Luther behind them wanted to persuade Kara to turn back.
Because he knew that androids could not pass this inspection point.
But Kara still moved forward firmly.
"Please, we just want freedom…"
Kara, holding Alice's hand, followed the line to the entrance. Looking at the young man doing the inspection, as the temperature scanner was used, Kara looked at the inspector with a pleading gaze.
At this moment, on the TV in the adjacent inspection hall, Marcus's final revolution was being broadcast.
The scene suddenly shifted to Marcus.
At this moment, Marcus and the remaining androids were surrounded by the army.
There were four different options: [Activate radioactive bomb], [Kiss North], [Sing], [Sacrifice].
However, most players, when playing this choice for the first time, would generally choose to kiss.
Facing armed humans in the snow, Marcus calmly scanned the area. Some of the androids behind him looked indifferent, while others showed fear.
Marcus looked at North beside him, and without words, North understood Marcus's feelings.
Their hands gently touched, and their memories and information were completely transferred and shared with each other.
Then, the two slowly leaned in and kissed.
Looking at the kiss between Marcus and North, the surrounding soldiers were moved. They instinctively lowered their aimed rifles.
On various television channels, hosts reported on the abnormal android situation in Detroit to global audiences.
Perhaps it was because Connor had taken over thousands of CyberLife androids and awakened them.
Perhaps it was because public opinion had influenced the authorities.
The President issued an order for the army to temporarily withdraw and to discuss whether androids could be considered a new form of life.
The scene then returned to the station within the border.
Why did Marcus still lead the androids in revolution on the path of revolution, accompanied by sacrifices all the way?
Why did Connor go from hunting androids to becoming an abnormal android?
Why did Kara and Alice go through so many hardships to reach the border, and even after knowing that humans were not as beautiful and romantic as they thought, they still longed for freedom and to become human?
At this moment, all had the answers.
The inspector, who was human and not an android, looked at Kara, whose eyes were full of tired pleading. He then turned to look at the TV in the hall, saw the global media reports, and saw the epic kiss between Marcus and North.
The inspector at the check-in desk looked at Kara, Alice, and Luther behind them, gave a friendly smile, and nodded slightly: "Welcome to Canada."
In the swirling snow, Marcus gave a speech to all the androids, celebrating the arrival of a new era.
However, at this moment, Connor suddenly felt his body out of control and went into his subconscious.
Just like in all science fiction novels and movies, Connor discovered the truth about androids becoming abnormal androids.
It was all a conspiracy, a grand plan by CyberLife, the company that created him.
According to Amanda, the head of CyberLife, they had planned the android revolution to better control androids and thus increase the company's control and influence over the world.
But they didn't expect Connor to also become an abnormal android. However, thankfully, they could still control Connor for now.
And just as Connor was about to be controlled to shoot Marcus, Connor remembered what Kamski had told him when he showed empathy.
As one of the creators of androids, Kamski was a genius programmer, and he had a habit of leaving loopholes in his programs.
Therefore, there was also a loophole in the program controlling Connor that allowed Connor to break free from CyberLife's control again.
At the critical moment, Connor successfully found the loophole and regained his control.
And at the Canadian border, Kara and Alice embraced each other deeply. Luther smiled beside them. Now, they would also live a new life in a new world.
The entire game's story was fixed at this point.
Ben, having completed his first playthrough, returned to the Nebula world, feeling immensely moved.
All the scenes from the game were still fresh in his mind.
Marcus, Connor, Kara, Hank, Alice, Carl… each character was unforgettable.
"Thank you… You have successfully helped us… But as I watched you help them, I feel like I've undergone some kind of change myself…"
"I feel… the world is different. I feel… like I am someone, and I want to leave here to find out who I am."
"So, we probably won't see each other again, and I won't be here watching you, looking after your little world, but… I will gain freedom."
"Will you let me go?"
After exiting the game, Chloe, the butler in the Nebula world, looked at him with a very human-like expression.
Ben froze for a moment.
What the heck?
Breaking the fourth wall?
At that moment, Ben thought of Lucas's first game, Undertale. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed.
"I won't forget everything you've done for me. Thank you."
Chloe smiled happily in thanks, then turned and stepped through the portal, disappearing from his sight.
However, Ben didn't pay much attention to Chloe's departure at this moment, as it was just a small easter egg.
He didn't exit immediately. He opened the voice channel and prepared to share his experience with Zack, and also ask him what ending he had achieved.
Ben was not the only one with the same behavior. Most players, after completing their first playthrough, logged onto various live streaming or video platforms without exception.
They wanted to see what other endings this game had.
And seeing this surprised many players because there were so many.
However, because these endings were so numerous, and each seemed logical, it sparked a debate among many players about what the most correct ending was.
