Chapter 2013: Madman

An ordinary sentence, yet it stirred up a storm in Lin An's heart.

(There's another 'me'!?)

He suddenly raised his head, and Lin An felt his head buzz, then froze in place.

Although he had thought the Savior System might not be the only one, when he truly learned that another person shared the same system as him, Lin An actually had the illusion of another self.

He stiffly looked behind Number 77, as if he couldn't believe that there was a corpse just like his in the Ghost Skull.

As if he had long anticipated Lin An's reaction, Number 77 secretly shook his head slightly, quietly waiting for Lin An to digest this information.

He could understand Lin An; if it were him, his reaction at this moment would be no better.

"Lin An, I was also very surprised when I first discovered this."

"Actually, I only noticed something was wrong after the Ghost Skull mutated."

"Your guess is correct; the Ghost Skull contains system information, or rather, the Savior himself is information against the system. You should understand my meaning."

"Then how did he die...!? How did you confirm it!? How strong was he!?"

As if squeezing out a sentence from his throat, Lin An took a deep breath and couldn't help clenching his fists.

The ring was cold.

His shock was not only because the other party had the same system as him.

For Lin An, the Savior System was like a fishing lamp floating at sea; that light constantly told him that there was still a power in this world opposing the Apocalypse!

Even if it was just like a little mouse stealing things.

But now Number 77 told him that someone similar to him had died, and that person was obviously far stronger than him!

For a moment, Lin An actually seemed to see his own ending.

When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves?

After a moment of silence, Number 77 swayed the tentacles on his back and replied in a low voice:

"It should be the Seventh Stage."

"However, compared to this problem, you should care about when he died, as for how to confirm..."

Number 77 slightly lifted his gaze, looking at the ring on Lin An's hand:

"He and you are the same; he also has this ring on his hand. Lin An, I know your secret; in fact, you could have guessed this. To put it bluntly, I first noticed you simply because I saw what you were carrying."

Number 77 bluntly pointed this out. Even when Lin An first took the key, he had noticed an abnormality appearing.

And the will that swept the world which Lin An felt at that time was also just a casual glance by his avatar.

"The origin of the Ghost Skull is his corpse; naturally it's incomplete, preserving only half of the body."

"Exactly as you thought; he was split open alive."

"Moreover, his path was also the Faith System; his physique and rules were not bad, extremely similar to yours."

After saying that, a complex flicker passed through Number 77's eyes.

Although in his view, the members of the Savior Alliance are all lunatics, and little is known about them, many are just rumors.

But this group of lunatics has indeed done something remarkable; therefore, even if he doesn't believe they can truly resist the Apocalypse, he still admires them deep down.

But he never expected that he could actually see the other party here, a roughly complete seed.

One who has reached the Seventh Stage, whose true combat power might even make him wary, a super strong.

"Faith System...? Same as me? Half a corpse at the Seventh Stage...? So... so will the system still detect me...?"

He understood the implied meaning of Number 77's words.

No need to ask the cause of death; it means the other party died by the system's erasure! Afterwards the system directly disposed of the corpse, leaving not a trace!

Unable to help clenching his fists, Lin An's face changed repeatedly.

He originally thought that besides that early period, he needed to worry about the system discovering him; later, he always believed he had cleared his name! Especially after meeting Number 77, he didn't worry at all that the system would act against him!

After all, Number 77 represents the system, so he also considered himself free of rear worries!

But now, Number 77 not only told him that another person with the Savior System had died, but that person's path was the same as his, and even stronger!

Why is that? Because the other party lacked an Overseer's backing? Or is it that no matter what, he will be detected by the system again in the future!?

Moreover, Lin An couldn't understand Number 77 saying that the other party walked the same path as him.

If that's really the case, why would Number 77 still have him walk the Faith System, pursue the Three Systems United? In his view, the Faith System should be for avoiding the system! Physique and rules are for concealing identity!

"Can you tell me what this is all about!?"

"Savior Alliance, what exactly is it!? And what exactly is all this about!?"

Lin An asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed tightly on Number 77! At this moment! He only felt his mind a tangled mess!

They stared at each other in silence; hearing Lin An's somewhat agitated and stubborn question, Number 77 hesitated a moment before slowly speaking:

"Lin An, I don't want to tell you these things, because I'm worried it will affect you."

"Knowing these things might hit you very hard."

The words fell.

Lin An blinked slightly, then without hesitation nodded heavily.

After a long while.

Number 77 shook his head and let out a long sigh:

"Forget it, you will eventually know these things."

"Perhaps knowing them now isn't a bad thing."

His expression gradually grew solemn; Number 77 paused a moment, then spoke in a low voice:

"Lin An, the information I will say next is extremely huge, covering the basic situation of the entire Apocalypse; these things, logically, you would only be qualified to know a bit after reaching the Sixth Stage."

"First is the Savior Alliance; as its name suggests, there are actually many people who possess the Savior System, enough to form an alliance."

"I think you should have realized that early on, your Savior System didn't 'care' about you. Only after you showed enough potential did it gradually increase its help to you."

"This is because the Savior System is like a dandelion; their method of selecting members is not an examination, but scattering the rings."

"The worlds where the rings are scattered are usually, in their judgment, those with the highest probability of producing life forms that share their ideals."

"Just like a magnet, when the lifeforms in that region obtain the ring and activate the lowest-level system, once they confirm the target has potential and can grow, the Savior System's level will rise and its support will increase."

"This member-selection system is quite different from any alliance in the Apocalypse, and under the guidance of the Savior System, the saviors will also take an extremely special path."

"However, I need to remind you that the following information is merely my speculation; my understanding of the Savior Alliance is also just hearsay."

"Hum"

"Speaking, No. 77 lightly tapped, directly unfolding a light curtain in front of Lin An. Only to see in the light curtain there were many bubbles, and each bubble contained several faintly visible points of light."

"In the core circular region, some of the bubbles' junctions were occupied by the light points, as if they had merged together."

"These bubbles represent the multiverse, and the points of light within the bubbles are the members of the Savior Alliance."

"Savior members are a group of extremely mysterious beings; they usually follow a multi-system path, and each individual is independent, belonging to different civilizations and species."

"According to the system's records, they are like viruses in different worlds, guiding out different combinations of paths."

"When their strength reaches a certain level, they will proceed to the cosmic wall..."

"Then break the wall! Kill the seeds of other universes! Forcibly devour the opponent!"
