Chapter 1124

Stelle's expression was complex as she said: "But, Tuona and the others are different..."

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

Exalting Sanctum.

Lieutenant Yanqing watched the game's story, his expression shocked and mixed with a bit of sadness, saying: "Tuona died at the hands of the Company's bounty hunter to save Shanshi. These Borisin, they really..."

Jing Yuan sighed: "Although they are Borisin, they are ultimately different from those wolf-soldiers."

Welt Yang said in a deep voice: "This also shows the overbearing and terrifying nature of the Anti-Organic Equation. The bounty hunter's brother must have died because of this, too."

The Yaoqing Xianzhou.

Jiaoqiu watched the content of the game's story, his expression complex: "Heh, there really are such Borisin..."

Feixiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Even the Yaoqing Xianzhou, which most frequently campaigns against the Abundance-worshipping Borisin, couldn't help but feel sad upon seeing this situation.

Self-sacrifice for others—do such Borisin really exist? If not, then what were the deaths of Protector Pili and Tuona?

Thinking of the Danlun Temple, Feixiao also began to get a headache.

【In the game's story, 0089 looked at Tuona, who lay on the ground without a sound, and for a moment, it felt something infinitely close to the concept of 【anger】 in organic life.】

【The Anti-Organic Equation became active, captured 0089's negative feedback, amplified it, and output a conclusion—】

【A cold mechanical voice said with near-anger: "Logic: Even though Tuona locked my weapon system, relying on the remaining annihilation schemes in the database, even if I only used a single stone..."】

【"I could easily erase him."】

Livestream room.

"Is the Anti-Organic Equation really that strong? Even if the weapon system is locked, it can still have such dangerous lethality."

"The Emperor's War was able to leave such a heavy mark in the history of the galaxy; the power and terror of the Anti-Organic Equation are beyond doubt."

"A single stone can easily erase a human life. Perhaps from this point, we can catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Anti-Organic Equation."

"It's just, is Shanshi really going to kill this bounty hunter?"

"From an emotional perspective, killing the bounty hunter isn't a problem. A mechanical life like Shanshi also produced feelings of anger due to Tuona's death, didn't it?"

"I don't know why, but seeing 0089 get angry and even develop killing intent because of Tuona's death gives me a deep sense of being moved."

"Under Tuona's guidance, even a war machine like Shanshi—its killing intent toward the bounty hunter at this moment is not because of the Anti-Organic Equation, but because of the anger caused by Tuona's death. Although it is an inorganic life, it has become a sentient being."

【In the game's story, however, 0089 ultimately did not do so: "Anti-Organic Equation, command aborted."】

【Miss Shemo looked sad and said to the bounty hunter: "You go. We won't strike while your back is turned to us."】

【The bounty hunter looked at the Borisin and the war machine of the mechanical empire before him. After a moment of silence, his eyes shook violently, and he said indignantly: "Rupert's monsters, and Borisin, how many worlds have been destroyed because of you?! Don't act like good people in front of me. Do you think doing this can wipe away everything from the past?"】

【"You are born as monsters of slaughter! I said it before, bounty hunters will hunt you to every corner of the galaxy!"】

Livestream room.

"If Shanshi's killing intent due to Tuona's death shocked me more than it moved me, then Shanshi choosing to put down the idea of killing the bounty hunter here moves me even more."

"It's hard to imagine that a mechanical weapon from the Emperor's War could actually do this."

"This is also thanks to the influence of Tuona and the others on 0089; otherwise, it would be exactly the same as those other remnants of the Anti-Organic Equation."

"From this moment on, 0089 has become an independent sentient life, no longer a heartless mechanical weapon."

"Rupert's Anti-Organic Equation vanguards and the Borisin are indeed the culprits behind the destruction and turmoil of world after world, but the monks of the Danlun Temple are not trying to wipe away past sins, but to ensure that sins do not increase."

"Conflicts between groups will inevitably lead to individuals being covered. This is why the Borisin of the Danlun Temple may have truly practiced the precepts, unlike the Borisin wolf-soldiers of the hunting packs, yet few are willing to view them separately."

"But different is different. Tuona, Protector Pili, Miss Shemo, and the 0089 that can restrain killing—they are different from those monsters who are keen on slaughter and destruction."

"This is perhaps the so-called 【power above slaughter】. It stopped the operation of the Anti-Organic Equation."

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

Exalting Sanctum.

Lieutenant Yanqing sighed: "That bounty hunter is right. Whether it's the mechanical vanguards of the Emperor's War or the Borisin, they are all culprits behind the destruction of countless worlds and homes in the galaxy, but..."

"Can we really view the Borisin of the Danlun Temple the same as those wolf-soldiers of the Borisin hunting packs?"

Jing Yuan sighed lightly: "You already have the answer to this, don't you?"

Lieutenant Yanqing was silent for a moment and said: "General, I... feel that the Borisin of the Danlun Temple perhaps shouldn't be lumped together with those Abundance-worshipping Borisin wolf-soldiers. They are different."

Jing Yuan looked at Lieutenant Yanqing, smiled slightly, did not judge whether Lieutenant Yanqing's view was right or wrong, and only said: "Then carry that view and go witness it."

【In the game's story, after burying Tuona, Miss Shemo and 0089 left without paying attention to the bounty hunter, who kept cursing.】

【The bounty hunter chased them all the way, his cursing never stopping, but he didn't attack again.】

【Shanshi's mechanical voice said faintly: "Miss Shemo said that this choice is proof of my growth."】

【"I diagnosed all programs and couldn't find any quantifiable system upgrade."】

【"Since then, the bounty hunter never appeared again."】

【"I once searched the bounty hunter's wanted list, conclusion: Vanguard 0089's status is displayed as—deceased."】

Livestream room.

"So the bounty hunter was really led there because of 0089."

"It's just that, in the end, the bounty hunter still chose to let him go."

"Perhaps the actions of Tuona, Miss Shemo, and Shanshi ultimately moved the bounty hunter."

"This part of the story is really full of ups and downs, making one's mood complex."

"Now only Miss Shemo and Shanshi are left, so this is why they are the only two who appeared on the Xianzhou in the end, right?"

Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

March 7th said softly: "This ending is perhaps good for the bounty hunter, as well as for Miss Shemo and 0089."

Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and sighed: "And the fact is indeed as the wanted list said—0089 is indeed dead."

Himeko nodded slightly and said: "Yes, from the moment it put down the idea of killing the bounty hunter earlier, 0089 as a war vanguard was already dead. The current 0089 has already ushered in a new life."

Dan Heng said: "It's just that the 102 corpses on that spaceship remain unknown."

Welt Yang said: "This record isn't finished yet; perhaps it will be shown later."

【In the game's story, as the puzzle was completed, some time after Tuona's death, on this day, 0089 and Miss Shemo stood facing each other.】

【0089 said: "Something stopped the slaughter and organized the operation of the Anti-Organic Equation."】

【"The power above slaughter truly exists. I request to receive the precepts and learn further."】

【Miss Shemo held her hands tightly in front of her chest and said solemnly: "Convert disciple 0089, although your karmic obstacles have not been removed, there is still room for salvation."】

【"The Master is no longer here. Today, I will make an exception to bestow upon you the Five Precepts of the Danlun Wheel, hoping you will sever evil karma. Now follow me and recite the precepts."】

【0089's mechanical voice said: "Confirmation: This unit signs the agreement."】

【Miss Shemo's voice was quiet and solemn: "I come from emptiness, born for all sentient beings, therefore, I do not harm, nor do I proliferate."】

【0089 followed and said: "I come from emptiness, born for all sentient beings, therefore, I do not harm, nor do I proliferate."】

【Miss Shemo continued to recite: "I extinguish myself from afflictions, seeing the poison of karmic fruit, therefore, I do not covet, nor do I harbor hatred."】

【0089 also followed and recited: "I extinguish myself from afflictions, seeing the poison of karmic fruit, therefore, I do not covet, nor do I harbor hatred."】

【Miss Shemo recited: "I know the truth of suffering, the arising of life and death, therefore I am not negligent, awaiting Nirvana."】

【0089 sighed: "I know the truth of suffering, the arising of life and death, therefore I am not negligent, awaiting Nirvana."】

【As the recitation of the precepts was completed, Miss Shemo took out a precept ring and said: "Put on this ring. From today on, you are a disciple of my Danlun Temple. I bestow upon you the Dharma name 【Shanshi】."】

Livestream room.

"So this is the origin of the name Shanshi."

"So, Shanshi is the Dharma name of 0089 after receiving the precepts at the Danlun Temple..."

"How should I put it? A bit moved, a bit shocked. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that a Borisin and a mechanical vanguard of Rupert could reach this extent."

"The Danlun Temple is truly an amazing place. Perhaps such an existence shouldn't be unable to continue due to the ruthless reality."

"It's just that the situation of the Danlun Temple is too complex. How the Xianzhou will handle this situation remains an unknown."

【In the game's story, Miss Shemo looked at Shanshi and said sternly: "The precepts are a method of self-discipline. If you cannot even restrain the law in your heart, there is no room for you to resist the torrent of the turbid world."】

【"Once the precedent for making an exception is opened, countless excuses will grow along the cracks, like addictive poison, eroding the initial bottom line until it is riddled with holes, with no room to turn back."】

【"Remember, breaking the precepts, although it won't destroy your body, will make you collapse all the way on the road to fighting the cycle of blood and fire. What we seek is not the victory of the flesh, but the invincibility of the soul."】

【Shanshi's mechanical voice also carried a bit of solemnity and gravity, saying: "Confirmation: Disciple will strictly follow the teachings."】

【As the screen fell into darkness, Shanshi's voice sounded faintly: "Agreement completed. I will uphold the five precepts of 【no harm】, 【no proliferation】, 【no greed】, 【no hatred】, and 【no negligence】, and keep the promise to Miss Shemo."】

【"I study the scriptures of the Danlun Temple, and I will touch 【the power above slaughter】, without a doubt."】

【"But, the world is impermanent."】

"Shanshi, who had received the precepts, said before in the Shackling Prison that those 102 lives were all killed by it. If this is the case..."
