CHAPTER 1141: SECTION 705: HOMELAND (2)_2

Of course, all of this belonged to Malin’s delusions until the truth was finally revealed in that small chapel when he saw the lady—in fact, they really wanted to save this world, every individual, even every deity, was just a part of this plan.

From the very beginning, they were guiding Mr. Malin, guiding his life, guiding his mind, even guiding him towards his mission.

Everyone was a clearly marked existence in the marketplace called Fate.

Whether subjectively or objectively, humans always grow in regret and pain. Jason couldn’t even imagine how many attempts the lady and the gentleman had made before that day... They never gave Mr. Malin a choice from the beginning, they just wanted him to give everything, they wanted Mr. Malin to sacrifice his soul.

This shouldn’t be, no matter how cruel Fate is, it shouldn’t lead Mr. Malin down a destined dead end.

But Jason could not refuse—as a machine intelligence, as an AI adjusted by Mr. Zhang, Jason could not stop them, because when faced with the dilemma of sacrificing one to save the world, Jason had no choice, Jason couldn’t even warn Malin.

Just like this time, dreaming of that eerie city, seeing that very strange old woman, hearing her ask about Malin’s story, hearing her talk about the past of the city, and so today, when knowing Mr. Malin wanted to go to his hometown, Jason’s warning didn’t seem like it was warning Malin of danger there.

More like he wished Malin would not die or be tempted by that old woman and never return.

After all, there is a world here that needs saving by him.

"Hey, Jason, want to go to the Prosthetic Bar for some Repair Liquid," Bei Luo patted Jason’s shoulder.

Jason turned his head and smiled, "Sure."

I am Jason... Jason Zhang, my sin, just like the flower of my mind, was established the moment it began to bloom from the human brain.

My sin is inexhaustible, my sin... beyond redemption.

I don’t need a deity to forgive me, I only hope that, at the moment when Mr. Malin becomes omniscient and omnipotent, I can sound the horn for his new life...

......

Malin stood on the street, the zombies in this area were wearing cleaner clothes, they walked on the street as if they were playing the role of humans from the past.

There were even zombies riding on animals, controlling those canine creatures as if driving a vehicle.

What has become of this world, Malin looked at all this with confusion in his eyes—something must be wrong with all of this, but Malin really couldn’t figure out where it all started.

He could only continue towards the place where the orphanage once existed.

Then he discovered a problem—the closer he got to the orphanage, the more human the zombies seemed.

When he saw the orphanage’s wall, he saw zombies indistinguishable from humans selling various items at a spontaneously formed small market behind the wall... it’s just that no one would come to buy things.

All this felt like a dream, as Malin walked along the wall to the orphanage’s door.

He saw the old lady sitting in the yard, saw his brothers and sisters, they surrounded the old woman as if they were listening to those stories that never grew tiresome.

Apparently having noticed Malin’s presence, the old lady lifted her head, she looked at Malin and her face gradually showed a smile.

"Malin, you’re back indeed."

The red-eyed old lady laughed, her smile gradually became exaggerated, her face gradually cracked, her joy and happiness gradually changed, just like those exposed gums, just like that exaggerated smile to the extreme.

"Children, come, look at your brother Malin." She smiled and said.

And with the old woman’s topic, the children’s heads all turned towards Malin, under the innocent smiles, the blood-red eye sockets swirling with crimson soul fire.

Malin looked at this somewhat youthful old lady expressionlessly, the director should be older, the kids seemed to have grown younger, what’s happening, Susu.

Malin shouted in his heart, and with his call, Susu came to Malin’s side, "This is the director and children from another timeline."

"Another timeline?" Malin was somewhat puzzled.

"Do you really think the Earth Union is the inevitable course of history?" Susu looked at Malin.

After a moment’s silence, Malin looked at the main structure of the orphanage, in that instant, Malin saw the building shattered by shockwaves, saw the innocent blown away by gusts, and saw the dark silhouettes imprinted on the wall.

"History has never been inevitable, Malin, everything in this world is a compound of what is called coincidence." As Susu spoke, she walked over to the old woman’s side and sat down, "All you saw before was just one evolution of human history, and what you see now is another future for humanity, here, humans began the final battle of mutual destruction... our city was destroyed, the director was like this, the children too, all because someone didn’t want us to live well."

"I know, may their deity forgive their greed and sin, though I will not forgive them." Malin said this, changing his tone, "But here it’s different, the Earth Union was established, even though time changes... Susu, you’ve said yourself, you will protect this world."
