Chapter 1048: In the name of love, goodbye Adam

"Wait, wait, wait, Adam is not the candidate to fight 3125??? I thought he would supplement a wave of technology, evolve directly into a super invincible form, and pin 3125 to the ground and beat it."

"Don't mess around, not everyone is called 'Administrator', and not every supreme divinity is as embarrassing as 'Black Moon'."

"'Black Moon' is embarrassing? What are you talking about? 'Black Moon' can kill every conscious existence in seconds, isn't this a natural counter to 'Fugitive'? 'Black Moon' must kill 'Fugitive'?"

"'Fugitive's' true form is 'Fifth Starfish', 'Black Moon' is G, 'Fifth Starfish' is still alive, 'Fugitive' must kill 'Black Moon'."

"It is suggested not to debate; if you really want to debate, you can go fight the 'Administrator' first. If you win against Him, then whoever you say is strong is strong, okay?"

Site-167, inside the bunker.

In Dr. Hughes's giant, dark single eye, the light of the bunker passed through the pupil and focused on Adam's sleeping body.

The steel needle pierced the skin, the injection device triggered, and the cold medicinal liquid was injected into Adam's body; his face began to distort, and his relaxed eyebrows gradually furrowed.

Dr. Hughes watched Adam's body, knowing full well the pain Adam was suffering.

But he did not stop his actions, and there was no thought in his heart of interrupting this process.

What would an ordinary person who had not received any form of memory enhancement become after being injected with a whole Z-class agent?

They would remember everything in extreme pain, including memories that had been physically excised.

And then death.

What after that?

Would he become a "ghost" and enter "Heaven"?

Perhaps he could have once, but now it was already impossible.

"Heaven" exists within the conceptual realm, and the conceptual realm relies on human civilization to exist; when human civilization is destroyed, the conceptual realm collapses, and "Heaven" is left with only one ending: collapse.

Adam is the last human in this universe; after he dies, the last "870" fragments of "Heaven" will cease to exist.

Naturally, he cannot go to "Heaven."

Equally bad is that no one in this world can anchor his existence; Dr. Hughes might be able to forcibly protect him for a while with the help of sporadic memory fragments, but time is ultimately limited.

Therefore, Adam is dead for sure, his soul scattered.

Dr. Hughes knew this; he placed the option of certain death before Adam, and he knew Adam would choose this.

Adam also knew what would happen; he took the injection in the illusory world and went to his death calmly.

If there were a choice outside of this, he certainly wouldn't want to sacrifice himself and die like this.

But what room for choice did this godforsaken reality leave him?

He could certainly refuse to accept this fate, stay far away from Dr. Hughes, the bunker, and Site-167, and while he still had their scent on him, hide back at Site-41 and spend the rest of his life.

And then, there would be no then.

The anti-memetic field of Site-41 is probably the only one on this planet.

If he didn't want to be captured by 3125's legion, brainwashed by 3125 again, and transformed into His loyal minion, he would have to stay honestly in that tomb until he died.

After he died, unless a miracle happened, that would be it.

The Foundation would fail completely, humanity would be completely destroyed, and only "Containment Object-3125" would win big; He would have successfully destroyed another civilization and could turn His gaze toward new victims.

The injection of the Z-class agent was about to be completed, and the beautiful illusion in Adam's eyes became even more hazy.

He could feel it; something in his brain was breaking, and it seemed unstoppable.

But correspondingly, in the hazy white-gold light, something began to break through the ground, flashing with various colors, as brilliant as a kaleidoscope.

At this moment, he heard Dr. Hughes ask:

"Are you afraid of death?"

That voice seemed to come from very far away, flickering and unstable, severely distorted, and he had to distinguish it carefully for a while before understanding what Dr. Hughes was saying.

Adam realized then that not only his vision but his hearing had also been affected.

"I should be afraid, I guess."

"But... a conclusion must be made."

There might be fearless sacrificers in this world, but Adam didn't think he was among them.

He was just an ordinary person, like the billions of people in the human world, just wanting to live his own life well, without any grand ideal of saving humanity.

Dr. Hughes's voice became more ethereal and blurred:

"Have a safe journey, Mr. Adam."

The next moment, the scene before Adam's eyes shattered with a bang, and then a near-pure white-gold light appeared before his eyes; this brilliant color shrouded the entire world, surging like a torrent, carrying him upstream.

Everything from the past appeared in detail, just like a clock turning backward.

That was the terrifying wandering experience; he had traveled through the ruins of the wilderness and cities for months, enduring deadly migraines.

That was him pulling the trigger himself, executing the traitor who betrayed humanity.

That was the conversation with Ulrich in the school; this memory was so short yet exceptionally painful, the mark left like a gunshot.

Then he saw the long period of time he had lost, seeing himself falling into "Containment Object-3125," conspiring and colluding with the dark and metallic hell.

His crimes, his unforgivable sins were reflected one by one.

Adam wanted to defend himself, wanted to escape, but the agent forced him to think about these things, to look directly at what he had done.

Time expanded here, stretched to the limit by the abnormal mass, as if it had lasted for a full ten years. ===== CHAPTER 1050 =====
