Chapter 363 Illusory Light and Shadow

The strange light and shadow seemed to be a little slow in reaction. After staring at Li Luo for a while, it began to think about Li Luo's question.

"Who am I?" Its state seemed to be a little wrong. It actually thought about a simple question for a long time.

"Am I the main control program of Paradise Island?"

"No, I seem to be slave No. 500."

"It seems to be wrong. I remember I am..."

The light and shadow froze in place while talking to itself.

Li Luo quickly distanced himself from the strange light and shadow.

However, the light and shadow flashed and came to Li Luo again.

"Welcome here, fire thief." It seemed that in an instant, the light and shadow returned to normal.

Li Luo looked at the light and shadow that approached again, and realized that he could not escape its pursuit, so he could only calm down temporarily.

"Where is this?"

"It is the center of Paradise Island, a place that can control the entire Paradise Island." The voice of the light and shadow became fluent.

As soon as it waved its hand, the feathers on the ground floated up, forming planes, and then various pictures of Paradise Island began to emerge on these planes.

Li Luo took a look, and it seemed that this was what was happening on Paradise Island at this time.

Not only that, Li Luo also saw the picture of the Hell Beast's Lair in it.

Even Hell Island was under surveillance.

"What do you want?" Li Luo was still very alert. She didn't understand why Si Yang sent her to this place.

"I want you to witness the completion of the transaction."

Transaction? Li Luo suddenly remembered what the machine said before.

The light and shadow waved his hand, and the feathers began to surge, forming a huge plane.

"You have the right to know the content of the transaction. Now I need to let you know the specific terms of the transaction."

"First of all, the two parties to the transaction, the robot on Paradise Island, represented by the machine, and the other party is Paradise Island, represented by me."

A picture suddenly appeared on the plane:

It was a robot that was constantly falling...

The white shell and sharp mechanical arms were the sixth-generation intelligent machines that were very common on the island.

The robot landed steadily on the ground full of feathers.

It did not make any extra movements, but waited quietly in place.

Soon, a light and shadow appeared beside the robot.

"Are you a robot on the island? Jiting? Why are you here?" Guangying asked.

"I'm not Jiting, I'm a machine." The robot said calmly: "I want to apply for a transaction."

Guangying trembled a few times, as if he was holding back something.

"Trade... OK... Please propose the content of the transaction."

Although it had been suppressing it, it couldn't help but say this sentence.

"All robots on Paradise Island voluntarily become the guardians of Paradise Island."

Hearing this, Guangying became excited instantly.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Can you represent all robots?"

"Yes, all robots are me."

"Then what do I need to pay?" Guangying asked hurriedly.

"Protect the safety of humans and stop the transformation of their race into guardians."

"Okay, the transaction is established."

A feather floated out from the ground and wrote a rune in the air. The rune split into two halves, one half merged into the body of the machine, and the other half was engraved in Guangying.

"After becoming a guardian, you need to protect the safety of Paradise Island and abide by all the rules of Paradise Island, including identity rules. Of course, you can also obtain certain island control rights..."

Light and Shadow wanted to continue to say something, but the machine interrupted its chattering.

"The witness of the transaction will appear in eight years. Her identity is: Fire Thief..."

...

The picture stopped abruptly, and the three words "Fire Thief" still echoed in Li Luo's ears.

This seems to be a video record from eight years ago. At that time, the machine used the body of the machine booth to reach a deal with Light and Shadow.

And the witness chose Li Luo who will arrive here in the future.

"You can ask any questions. This is the right of the witness." Light and Shadow said to Li Luo.

"Guardian transformation, what does it mean?"

"It is the protection mechanism of Paradise Island. When the number of guardians on the island is too small, the creatures on the island will be transformed into guardians. Humans are very suitable creatures."

"What are the duties of the guardian?" Li Luo asked.

"Maintain the safety of Paradise Island."

It was a very short sentence, and the duties described were also very simple, but Li Luo quickly noticed the problem.

Si Yang said before that Paradise Island will soon collapse. When that happens, how can the guardians maintain the safety of Paradise Island?

"Is Paradise Island going to collapse soon?"

"Yes." Guangying answered without reservation.

"What will the guardians do then?"

Hearing this question, Guangying was silent for a while, but soon, its voice came again.

"Paradise Island will use the guardians on the island to make white light stones to maintain the operation of Paradise Island. This is the optimal solution obtained after the program calculation."

In Guangying's calm words, a terrible fact was stated.

"Make white light stones?"

"Yes, white light stones are originally materials made by life. What you are stepping on now is the consumables in the past."

Consumables...

The feathers beside the light and shadow rotated slightly, projecting a three-dimensional model of a creature.

It was a short creature covered with feathers, pure white.

But Li Luo looked at the projection and felt creepy.

"This sea of ​​feathers, are all creatures that died to build Paradise Island?"

Li Luo looked up and looked into the distance. The sea of ​​feathers was endless. Standing in this extremely open pure white ocean, she felt endless suffocation.

She had never thought that these were all corpses of creatures.

"What race are they?" Li Luo asked in a daze.

Hearing this, the light and shadow suddenly trembled violently, and the whole body could no longer maintain its complete form.

"They are just meaningless consumables..."

The light and shadow struggled to avoid this question, but it had to answer the witness's question.

"They are a group of slaves, a group of unimportant slaves..."

The light and shadow collapsed instantly and reappeared not far away. The light was sometimes dark and sometimes bright, extremely unstable.

Just after it appeared, the light and shadow suddenly shattered and dissipated into a group of feather-like light patterns.

After collapsing again and again, the light and shadow could no longer maintain its original posture.

It curled up on the ground, constantly grabbing the feathers on the ground, as if trying to pick up something.

However, how could the illusory light and shadow touch reality? It could only repeat such actions, and then instantly collapsed in despair, and its figure gradually became chaotic and blurred.

It seemed to want to answer Li Luo's question, but when the words came to his lips, it seemed to be stopped by some force.

Li Luo looked at the struggling light and shadow and asked the question again:

"What race are they?"

"They..." The light and shadow was stunned. It squatted on the ground and wanted to hold the feathers with its hands, but it passed through without surprise.

Then came another collapse.

However, after continuous collapse, the light and shadow finally solidified a little bit. Li Luo's constant questioning seemed to break the restrictions of that power and freed the light and shadow from the restrictions.

Finally, the light on its body stopped trembling and slowly calmed down.

It curled up quietly on the ground, its feathers glowing, and a faint voice came again:

"It's not them...it's us..."

"We are the Feathered Ones."
