Listening to Dr. An's words, Lu Xin's expression gradually changed.
The office became very quiet.
He had experienced the attack on Qinggang by the Sea Nation S-level ability user. The guy who wanted to die almost turned the huge Qinggang Main City into Ghost Domain by himself. But now, as Dr. An guessed, the abyss may have broken through the wall and completely polluted the real world. Then, what will the world under Crimson Moon look like?
"So..."
After a while, Lu Xin slowly raised his head and said, "There's no way to fix it?"
"We have been working hard, but to be honest, the situation is not optimistic."
Dr. An sighed softly, "Now that the collapse has begun, this direction cannot be controlled."
"The stronger the evil thoughts in the abyss, the greater the pressure on this wall, and the faster it will collapse."
"We all know this truth, but how can the evil thoughts in people's hearts be so easily eliminated?"
"The pollution accumulated in the abyss will only get bigger and bigger until it overflows..."
"..."
Lu Xin fell silent and stopped talking.
"After Crimson Moon incident happened, we built high walls to protect ourselves."
Dr. An smiled and seemed a little helpless, "But who would have thought that this wall that can protect us is actually in our hearts?"
"The abyss cannot be cleared. As long as people have evil thoughts and twisted desires in their hearts, they will always exist."
"Researchers always like to solve problems from the source, but this is the only problem that we cannot solve from the source."
"Unless..."
"..."
Lu Xin heard these two words and immediately raised his head and looked at her with concern.
These two words are most charming when discussing some desperate issues.
"Unless the topic returns to its original point..."
Dr. An slowly turned to look at Lu Xin and said:
"The researcher who jumped from this building left three prophecies behind. Do you know what they were?"
Lu Xin slowly shook his head.
He joined this industry not long ago and has not experienced a few failures in the industry.
Dr. An took a deep drag on the cigarette.
I don't know how she did it. In just one cigarette, she became like an old smoker.
Or perhaps, because she mentioned this person, her mood suddenly became a little deeper. "The first two sentences he left were: First, with the emergence of Mental Mutation, our social structure and order will inevitably face a huge impact."
"Two, get ready for arrival of God!"
"..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly, these people talk about it every day, could it be that this researcher started?
"And the third one..."
Dr. An lowered his head slightly, and then looked at Lu Xin gently, his eyes seemed to become very deep:
"God will not let go of the remaining 30%."
"..."
"This..."
Lu Xin was really startled this time.
The first two sentences sounded fine, but the third sentence suddenly made him feel a little confused.
After Crimson Moon incident happened, 70% of the people in the world became crazy.
Among those who survived, many said it was divine punishment or something, and they were glad that they survived.
However, according to what this researcher said, is it possible that this god is here to make up for the damage?
Do you have to make up for the 30%?
After thinking about it seriously, he really didn't quite understand what this sentence meant, so he raised his head and looked at Dr. An:
"What do you mean?"
"..."
"I don't know."
Dr. An's answer was unexpected. She said softly, "He only left these three sentences, not three papers. We can only guess what he meant, but we may not necessarily explain it correctly. In short, his three sentences make people feel desperate."
"Especially after learning about the existence of the abyss, this feeling of despair is even more lingering."
"..."
Lu Xin I don't know how to answer.
He seemed unable to intuitively understand the despair in this woman's mouth.
But out of his duty as a human being in this world, he still asked, "Is there no way to solve it?"
"Of course."
Dr. An's voice seemed very soft, and he said, "As I told you before, the three prophecies left by this guy who jumped from the building brought despair to mankind, but the Seven Steps Theory he left behind brought hope to people."
"We firmly believe that as long as someone can pass these seven steps, go to the top of the pyramid."
"The future of mankind is not necessarily gray..."
"..."
"These seven steps again..."
Lu Xin frowned subconsciously.
He seemed to dislike this theory and shook his head slowly, wanting to say something.
"Little brother, don't refuse in a hurry."
Dr. An smiled softly and said, "I think I have to educate you on some things. Sometimes, people with abilities have no choice."
"People with abilities can be said to be contaminated people."
"And ever since you were contaminated, you have been forced to follow a path."
"You may prefer to be safe and keep your current status, but you can try to understand."
"If this ladder leading to God is compared to a seven-step pyramid, then some pyramid characteristics will inevitably appear."
"First, the closer you get to the top, the fewer people there are."
"Second, when someone starts to climb to the top, the people below will become their cornerstone..."
"..."
She lowered her voice as she spoke, and looked at Lu Xin quietly. "Can you understand the cruelty of this sentence?"
Lu Xin frowned and did not answer.
"The thirteen abnormal spiritual bodies also determine that there will be thirteen ability groups..."
"Now it is almost certain that those ability users with different abilities are actually dispersed by these thirteen abnormal spiritual bodies. In other words, ability users of the same group will inevitably meet when they climb the pyramid."
"Can you imagine what will happen to those who don't fight in front of those who want to fight?"
Her smile became mysterious, "Those who eat grass are always afraid of those who eat meat."
"..."
Lu Xin suddenly understood and his eyes became a little deeper.
With just these few words, he suddenly thought of something particularly terrifying.
This woman didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but she seemed to have said something important simply.
It turns out that all those strange abilities can be divided into thirteen ability groups?
The source of these abilities are those thirteen abnormal mental bodies?
And if according to their "Staircase of God" theory, these thirteen spiritual bodies will all need...
He sat quietly for a while and said slowly, "Then I need to think about it."
"Consider?"
Dr. An felt a little strange, and his beautiful brows frowned slightly.
"Yes."
Lu Xin said, "After all, my direct leader is outside, and... we also brought a lawyer."
Dr. An's expression was a little strange. He was startled for a moment, and then he laughed, "Little brother, you are so interesting..."
Lu Xin frowned again.
"Well, you will have time to think about it. The steps leading to God are not so easy to walk."
Dr. An sighed lowly and said, "But there is another problem that cannot be postponed."
Lu Xin looked up at her.
"That's the problem of real-world contamination from the abyss."
Dr. An pinched his brows, stretched slowly, and said in an unusually thrilling voice, "Helping some people climb the steps, the top of the pyramid, to fight against the greatest possible pollution. That is a very heavy problem for anyone, and it can be called the ultimate problem. This problem cannot be easily determined just by chatting between the two of us."
"So, what we have to do now is to prevent the abyss from becoming more polluted."
"Although it is currently impossible to completely clean up the pollution in the abyss, we must find ways to temporarily alleviate it."
As she spoke, she laughed softly and said, "The next focus of our Eclipse Research Institute work is to prepare to unite the major High Wall Citys in the alliance to begin to repair the huge cracks that have appeared between the abyss and the real world to a certain extent."
"..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin suddenly felt some hope in his heart and hurriedly said, "Do you know where these cracks are?"
Just now, he had already developed a feeling that cracks were everywhere and the problem could not be solved. It turned out that they had known it for a long time.
"Of course I do."
The female researcher smiled and said, "You know that too."
Lu Xin was suddenly speechless.
And this Dr. An turned around, separated by a table... It was easy to walk from the side, but she had to stand across this table... She stretched her waist hard, took a stack of paper from the bookshelf, and unfolded it in front of Lu Xin. Lu Xin immediately discovered that the most obvious thing on this paper was the black dots marked one by one, and there was data display next to it.
He is no stranger to such callouts.
S-level restricted area.
He had been to a place like this when he first left the city, and Mom even made a friend there.
"Where there are huge cracks, the pollution must be the most serious, and it is most likely to form such a severely polluted area."
Looking at Lu Xin's somewhat surprised eyes, Dr. An said softly, "The opposite can also be drawn."
"Wherever there are areas of severe pollution like this, there must be huge gaps."
"Otherwise, how do you think those incredibly powerful forbidden creatures suddenly appeared?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple..."
"They are either strongly contaminated by the abyss, or some of them originally ran out of the abyss."
"If they are not stopped, the cracks where they are located will only get bigger and bigger, and the pollution will become more and more serious. Moreover, the increase will not be a gradual process, but when it reaches a certain magnitude, it will suddenly erupt like a volcano..."
"..."
Dr. An's words made Lu Xin feel a slight sense of depression in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head. "Then you want me to..."
Dr. An put down the map and said seriously, "Not only you, but all High Wall Citys need to face this challenge."
"Start clearing the surrounding S-class restricted areas."
"If I remember correctly, the S-level restricted area closest to Qinggang is... Happy Town?"
It seems that I haven't updated it for several days, and I feel really uncomfortable. However, in order to dig out the details of this setting, I really can't do it too fast, but fortunately I will finish the introduction right away.
Seeing as Old Ghost is 10% bald, can you give me a ticket to comfort me?
