Chapter 224 Who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going?
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
Li Can did not shake off his hand that was tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
He lowered his head and continued to patiently ask the little man in front of him, "And your name, Jack."
"Who gave you this name?"
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!" Jack completely broke down, scratching and rubbing his once meticulously styled hair.
He huddled up, overwhelmed by immense doubt and fear.
The impact of this is no less than grabbing a random passerby on the street and bombarding them with three probing questions:
Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going?
People who are good at rational thinking often find themselves in existential crises and fall into nihilism.
If you can't break free from these constraints, you'll only become more and more miserable.
As long as you are carefree and never think things through, you will always live under the guise of enjoying life and never have any worries.
In real life, it's hard to say whether Li Can's extreme rationality or his seemingly foolish wisdom is better.
However, this is applicable to the current post-apocalyptic and death-based dungeon game environments.
Only those who are clear-headed can gain freedom.
As it happened, Li Can observed that even though the dwarf Jack had lost all related memories, he still retained his former way of thinking.
Therefore, he only needs to patiently guide and instruct him.
Jack would then smash the illusory mirror that stood in his way.
Humans always have to go through a process of rebirth and the growth of limbs, even though it is very painful.
"Jack, if I'm not mistaken, you are a living, breathing person, but for some reason you're trapped in a dungeon game and have lost all your memories."
"Essentially, you and I are no different; we are both human."
"Although I am currently a player, you are a game NPC."
Jack gradually slumped to the ground, no longer caring whether the dirt and dust would soil his clean clothes.
His eyes looked unusually lost.
He kept muttering almost words.
"How could this happen... how could this be..."
"Why has my past all disappeared? I can't remember it."
"Sir player, the reason you're asking me so many questions is because you know a way to solve it. I urgently want to know the reason."
"If I can't find my memories, I think I'll live in constant pain, and I'll die alone after I've completed this service for you."
Li Can felt somewhat helpless; Jack himself was indeed a very interesting person.
Even in despair, one should not forget to do their job well.
What would his reaction be if he knew who assigned him this job?
Li Can didn't know about the other things, but he was absolutely certain that it was all the work of the fake stars.
They went to such great lengths to invade Earth, hoping to obtain the laws of time.
Similarly, driven by greed, they may invade other planets and attack people of other races.
When the Earthlings see the pseudo-planet launch an attack, it means that this is not the first time they have taken action.
After integrating all the clues from the past, Li Can believed that the greatest probability and possibility was that these NPCs in the instance were victims of human races on other planets before Earth was officially invaded.
Essentially, everyone is a vulnerable group at this moment.
False stars are their common enemy.
After clarifying this line of thought, Li Can suddenly felt his mind clear.
But right now, he faces a difficult problem.
The murderer has been found.
He could explain the reason to Jack.
But how exactly should we solve this?
Including the numerous NPCs active in other dungeon games, how to awaken them and free them from the control of the pseudo-star.
Li Can knew that if she couldn't do this, then even if she chatted and argued with Jack for a long time today, it would all be in vain.
He must come up with a way to resolve the current situation.
"If we completely liberate all the NPCs in the dungeons and give them their freedom, then Ah Yun and I will have another trump card in our hands."
"This will not be a battle fought solely by Earth against a false planet; on the contrary, it will eventually evolve into a collective battle involving all citizens of the universe."
"Once the call to counterattack is sounded, our chances of victory will be increased to an unprecedented level."
"At the same time, this will be the strongest support we can get."
As Li Can pondered this, an unstoppable tide surged within him.
What kind of epic saga will unfold when countless humans from different planets, sharing the same hatred, launch a counterattack?
He looked forward to that day.
But then again, how to help Jack? Li Can and Jack exchanged pleading glances.
"This is a long story. If I can help you regain your memory, I won't need to explain many things to you. You will understand."
"Jack, with your intelligence, you should be able to realize that this matter is far from simple."
He was selecting whether there was a suitable corresponding rule to give to Jack's experiment.
Jack, who had collapsed to the ground, nodded. After a long period of thought, he gradually regained his composure.
"Yes, Mr. Player, I have a feeling that someone is plotting against me."
Li Can searched and finally found a secret method that matched the right approach.
He was in a good mood, and snapped his fingers, thumb and middle finger overlapping, as if approvingly responding to Jack:
"That's right, it's not just you who's been harmed, but also your family, friends, the entire dwarf race, and countless other humans in other star clusters of the universe."
Jack looked at the smile on Li Can's face and was somewhat puzzled: "This is such a painful history... but why do you seem to be enjoying it?"
A bright blue flame gathered at the tip of Li Can's right finger. He made a hand seal, then hesitated, "Ah, that's because I seem to have found a way to help you regain your memories."
"However, I can't say whether this thing is suitable for you. It might even cause your death, if you don't die..."
Jack immediately got up from the ground, his face full of determination.
"Mr. Player, I am not afraid of death. I am more afraid of living like this in this ambiguous world than of dying."
"You don't need to have any concerns, I can accept it completely."
"Moreover, I don't believe that living without one's own will is the meaning of life; that's just being a walking corpse."
Li Can somewhat admired this Jack. Although he looked to be a very young person among the dwarves, his thoughts and considerations were full of philosophical insights.
The last line, "a walking corpse," particularly struck a chord with Li Can.
Yes, those countless zombies on Earth, aren't they?
They appear to be alive, but they are already dead.
Even if one could move their limbs and wander forever, what would be the meaning of existence?
"Okay, I understand, Jack. I'm going to use a spell on you now."
"That can completely restore your lost memories."
"But at the same time, you will die."
