How did a generation of researchers become what they are now?
Sitting on the train, Lu Xin thought quietly.
In the story told by Black Queen, these people had a lot of courage at the beginning and dared to face the Beginning in an overall tone of despair. However, in the end, step by step, they have now become the people who led Third Descent.
How did things get to where they are now step by step?
He suddenly became a little bit curious about these two people and what they were thinking in their hearts.
Presumably, I will be able to ask in person soon.
These words were an unexpected gain, but Lu Xin believed in the information revealed by Black Queen.
Because she is a very proud person, but essentially has a very low self-esteem.
Therefore, when such a being has an advantage, it will become more and more bold, its thinking will become more and more rigorous, and it will often come up with some unexpected and sophisticated methods. For example, she was the first to establish the Fantasy Nation degree in reality. She was also the first to make up her own mind, collect her own data, and even wanted to use this child contaminated by anger to create another version of herself.
However, when she began to lose her advantage, her strong heart collapsed instantly...
Just locking her up instead of completely cleaning her up has something to do with this.
In any case, the first generation of researchers should be dealt with now.
Once a dragon slayer, now a careerist.
In the past, Lu Xin wanted to get rid of them for personal reasons, but now it is a combination of public and private.
Is there a difference here?
Still big.
After all, now this can finally be considered a business trip and can be reimbursed.
Shopping, shopping, shopping...
Dirty...
Driven by this will, Ghost Train's speed gradually increased faster and faster.
With the endless surge of spiritual power, he quickly passed through such a land, so arrogant that he made a dirty sound.
Previously, under the separate actions of the Tyrant team, many powerful strange creatures and armed armies were destroyed in a short period of time. The shadow of the Tyrant had already shrouded these spiritual creatures hiding in the darkness.
Like the earth covered with black ice and snow, it was torn apart by a meteorite that broke in from the sky.
Today, Qinggang occupies the vast majority of the world under Crimson Moon.
Then, in the north, cleanup organizations such as Dracula's Doomsday Legion and Miss Rocket Launcher protected several High Wall Citys and some gathering points, forming the second part of the stable area. There are also the world now known as the "Dark World in the West" and the world under the influence of Technological Church radiation in the south, forming four major sections...
The areas radiated by Qinggang are gradually becoming stable and establishing a new order.
The alliance of Dracula and Miss Rocket Launcher is confronting each other at the border with the dark world.
The confrontation started after Third Descent and has continued until now. Both sides have sacrificed many people.
Previously, as Qinggang's Kid was promoted to the new ultimate, more weirdos were squeezed into the dark world and the south, which also put their front under increasing pressure. The situation was so severe that Dracula's Doomsday Legion was ready to pay wages.
"The dark world is becoming more and more terrifying. That area has begun to be unable to accommodate so many Mental Monster, which has led to some monsters having to look for living space outside. However, the only ones bordering them are our northern area and the Qinggang Radiation Land to the east. They just want to stay away from Qinggang now. There is no one living in the barren land to the west. They can't get through, so they can only come north..."
"..."
Even Dracula's Doomsday Legion, who is now famous, is feeling nervous.
Someone suggested. "Should we call for reinforcements?"
"What the hell, I've already given the tyrant a chance..."
Dracula was heartbroken. "I even gave him a 30% discount on his membership fee. He can join our legion by paying 35 million..."
"... Was he really not anxious when he heard this request?"
"No, he just hung up the phone suddenly."
"What now?"
"We will wait and see what happens and wait for information from Qinggang asking for help. After we stabilize the situation, we will turn from defense to offense and attack the dark world with other organizations. We will destroy Gaoshan Laboratory, which caused the Third Descent incident, and become the heroes who protect the world."
"Then... collect the money!"
"Sister De is so powerful!"
"..."
"Huh?"
The idea was very clear, and the speech was very moving, but the news that came was a bit unprepared:
"No need to stabilize the situation. We have received the latest news. The Tyrant Squad has entered the dark world..."
"Damn, he just went in like that?"
Dracula, wearing a red cloak, was furious. "Gaoshan Laboratory is a mysterious organization that existed before Crimson Moon incident happened. The person who knows Mental Mutation best in the world People, they even control the core of Third Descent and are the public enemy of all mankind. Even if the power of Research Institute and our Doomsday Legion are added together, they are not necessarily their opponents. He actually went in directly..."
"Stupid Tyrant Squad, are you looking for death?"
"What now?"
"Immediately contact all ability users, and we will also form an army to attack the dark world and prepare to rescue the tyrant..."
"... The letter to Qinggang must be written clearly: We charge a fee!"
"..."
Dracula's Doomsday Legion was righteous and began to quickly contact all parties, including the Eclipse Research Institute front where Miss Rocket Launcher was located. At the same time, he sent a letter to Qinggang, preparing to contact a suicide squad to rush into the dark world and support the tyrant inside.
However, before this letter was written, another message came:
"Mental Monster at the edge of the dark world suddenly shrank sharply, and its number decreased sharply..."
"A large number of strange creatures dispersed, and some even fled back to the abyss..."
"..."
"Huh?"
Dracula was stunned for a moment after hearing the news. "The Tyrant Squad is still quite capable..."
The person next to me asked anxiously, "What should I do now?"
Dracula raised his brows like waves for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said solemnly, "Change the rescue team into a regular legion of ability users, and lower the standards for joining the legion. We must form an army as quickly as possible, mainly to make up the numbers!"
"Then we attack the Dark World for free."
"With the tyrant group who is fighting alone for this world at this time, we are forming a corner, approaching Gaoshan Laboratory."
"Finally, save the world and collect the money!"
"..."
"..."
The legion has not yet been formed, and new news has come:
"A big earthquake suddenly broke out in the high mountain Fantasy Nation, and the entire Mental Monster fell into an abyss. A large number of Mental Monster and high-level spiritual creatures disappeared into the real world, and their whereabouts are unknown. Spades Office's top executives fled collectively. The dark world order is on the verge of collapse..."
"Fuck..."
Dracula was stunned for a moment. "The tyrant is so powerful?"
The people next to him heard their blood boiling. "Our team is almost ready and we can attack..."
"Get ready..."
Dracula suddenly reacted and slapped his thigh hard. "Pull people up immediately, as many as you can..."
"Quick, go in and take a walk. It's best to write XX here for a visit or something, to show that we have been here..."
"..."
A group of people reacted and immediately prepared their vehicles. After filling up the gas, they were about to rush into the "dark world".
But at this time, the latest news came over:
"The order of the dark world has indeed collapsed. Ghost Train is heading straight towards Gaoshan Laboratory. The speed cannot be calculated by common sense. All the spiritual creatures are known to be where it goes. All spiritual creatures have been cleared. A large number of refugees are pouring out from the dark world, indicating that there is no sign of Mental Pollution along the way. In addition, among the fleeing people, many defectors who have passed through High Wall City can be seen."
"Someone has already come over to give them gifts, and asked us to help them to beg for mercy and let them settle in the city..."
"They are really frightened by the tyrant, and they just want to..."
"..."
Dracula was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and suddenly said angrily, "What kind of tyrant?"
"That's my good friend Huanhuan!"
As he said that, he shook his head excitedly and sighed, "As expected of the person I have been very optimistic about from the beginning..."
"You all don't understand our feelings. When we met at Kindling City, I was already so poor that I had no money. I would rather spend counterfeit money to put him in the most upscale hotel first. How should I describe this feeling?"
"That's a deep friendship that we were chased by security guards together..."
"..."
Old Wang next to him was stunned and murmured, "Then do we still have to rush in to help him deal with Gaoshan Laboratory?"
"What are you helping me with?"
Dracula waved his hand and said, "Prepare the press release directly."
"Our Dracula Army Doomsday Legion faced the culprit who triggered Third Descent. Together with their good friend He Jia Huan from Qinggang, codenamed Tyrant, we invaded the dark world with a brave and fearless spirit and finally won..."
"As for these returning defectors..."
"If they don't accept it, they are ants that have collapsed under the shock of the great tyrant. They have no qualifications to negotiate..."
"Collect all their supplies and send them to Qinggang for trial!"
She proudly announced, "This is the evidence that we have also participated in this dark world war!"
"..."
"..."
So, without Lu Xin even reacting, the news that the Tyrant Squad invaded the Western Dark World and fought against Gaoshan Laboratory, who had caused Third Descent, quickly Spread throughout the world, everyone knows how bravely the Dracula Legion fought and how they cleaned up the terrifying Mental Pollution when the Tyrant Squad attacked the dark world alone.
Their bravery is touching, and their strength is shocking.
They were faced with this dark world that made people feel trembling in their hearts even just mentioning it. In less than three days, they were so powerful that they cleaned up the terrible pollution that most people in the world had never seen before and saved the world.
At the same time, Lu Xin was just mentally prepared and came to the hidden mountain of Gaoshan Laboratory.
The laboratory embedded in the mountainside seemed unusually quiet at this time.
Ghost Train arrived with endless spiritual power, twisting pieces of air, but unexpectedly encountered no resistance.
It stands to reason that the technology and research results mastered by a generation of researchers should not be like this.
Lu Xin is ready for this confrontation.
But it was obvious that this didn't look like a trap. There was only silence around, and the darkness took on a pale flavor.
The farms around the laboratory are bare, with only harvested wheat stubble and broken plastic sheeting.
At the foot of the mountain to the west, hollow underground pits are exposed to the air. There are still lengths of messy cables in them. The huge space where the petri dishes were placed before, the slanted power station, and a string of weak electric flowers drilled out from time to time. The tall and neat laboratory with strange beauty is now mostly in darkness, with only a few lights on.
Lu Xin came here with the mentality of participating in a powerful confrontation.
But all he saw were two lonely old men standing on the dome of the laboratory hundreds of meters above the ground.
One of them was neatly dressed in a black priest's robe, holding an envelope in his arms, and the other was wearing a white coat. He didn't have much hair on his head, but he had combed it carefully. He slowly took off his glasses, wiped them clean, and then put them on his face.
Watching from a distance, Ghost Train traversed this strange land and came straight to the laboratory.
Irresistible, like fate.
They looked at each other and sighed quietly.
Then they glanced at the dizzying height below their feet, and a bleak smile showing a hint of helplessness appeared on their faces.
"It's time to admit defeat."
The chief researcher in a white coat whispered, with an expression of relief on his face.
"Yes."
Black Bishop nodded, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But I will never admit my mistake!"
Ghost Train arrived before Gaoshan Laboratory and saw these two people jumping from the high dome.
No matter how glorious it was in front of me, when I jumped from the dome, my figure still looked so monotonous and desolate. It didn't even have the floating feeling like the leaves falling from the branches. It was just like two rag bags, falling quickly, and then landed with a pop.
They seemed to have calculated the time accurately, fearing that someone would stop them, and landed just before the radiation of Ghost Train approached.
The slight sound of landing made Lu Xin, who had just stood up, slightly startled.
The entire train suddenly became quiet.
Everyone stood up and crowded in front of the car, looking at the two bright red balls falling on the concrete floor in front of them.
Is that all?
In order to prepare for this final confrontation, the members of the Tyrant Team, who had even put away their cards ten minutes in advance, had unexpected surprises on their expressions at this time. According to the information from Infiltrator, shouldn't the first-generation researcher have at least four to five ways to cause trouble or even threaten the Tyrant Team? For example, Genesis Hard Drive, for example, ultimate nothingness?
Why did these two people jump from the dome without doing anything?
Why is everything around Gaoshan Laboratory so empty and lonely?
"It shouldn't be like this..."
In shock, Lu Xin suddenly got off the train and walked forward.
The spiritual power began to spread to the surroundings, forming a fantasy world covering hundreds of meters in radius.
When the power of this fantasy world enveloped Black Bishop and the old researcher who jumped from the dome of Gaoshan Laboratory, they were broken into several pieces. Even the bones were not a complete body, and they suddenly began to adhere and reorganize. The spiritual power that was floating in the air like the wind was also reorganized back into his soul and consciousness under the influence of the fantasy power.
"Why?"
Lu Xin looked at them who had reorganized their bodies, frowned slightly, and asked with complicated expressions.
The question is simple, but it asks a lot.
Why end his life in this way without a final confrontation?
Why did Gaoshan Laboratory suddenly become empty?
"We don't want to admit our mistakes..."
The two people who were reorganized under the fantasy power of Lu Xin did not lie. With stiff smiles on their faces, they spoke mechanically, "We know that you will never let us go. We also know that even if we use the remaining power to fight you, the final result is already determined. We have no chance of winning, and the most we can do is make the world worse."
They said in unison, "That's not necessary."
Listening to their words, Lu Xin frowned slightly. "You also feel sorry that the world has become worse?"
"Maybe in your eyes, we are selfish, stupid careerists."
The old researcher said numbly, "But things shouldn't be like this in the beginning."
"We do it for ourselves, but also for this civilization."
"According to our plan, we should have successfully implanted consciousness into the Beginning and created a god that can be controlled by us."
"Although the world will still be flooded, the fire will remain."
"We will retain our consciousness in the sea of the Beginning, build a Noah's Ark with the imprint of our era."
"We will wait for the Beginning to fall asleep at the right time, and then build a new civilization."
"We can even borrow the power of the Beginning to build a more powerful civilization that will never end. Such a civilization can truly experiment with understanding between all things, look back on the past and the future, and achieve eternal equality."
"This is our paradise and a higher level of our civilization, a high-dimensional life civilization."
"..."
Even in this state of being awakened after death, even though there is only a numb answer.
But there still seemed to be traces of pride on their faces as they talked about their plans.
"It's a pity that our great plan encountered a few lunatics."
Because of their instinct, they showed a look of disappointment on their faces. "One is a person who is already standing on the threshold of becoming a god when our experiment unexpectedly goes smoothly and is about to achieve unprecedented success, but there is only resentment and hatred in his heart..."
"He was supposed to be a god, but instead he became the biggest monster..."
"The other one is you..."
"..."
The old researcher said, "You were created by us to prevent us from being affected by uncontrollable forces."
"Just like the Beginning will create the ultimate while swallowing up a generation of civilization."
"But you are the one who helps us solve the variables, and you have become our biggest variable."
"You turned against us without even knowing what our plans were."
"Because of you, our plan failed, and we have no choice but to admit defeat."
"However, we will not admit our mistakes..."
"Who can guarantee that if things go according to our plan, a greater civilization will not usher in?"
"..."
Lu Xin slightly pursed his lips.
Although he had already guessed it, it was only after hearing their words that he understood the true meaning of "restarting the world."
Now, these two people are awakened by their own fantasy power after death. So you can dig out their truest thoughts. However, because they have died and been resurrected by the power of fantasy, they are always under their own influence. You can truly resurrect them, but even then, your true personality will be lost.
Therefore, I cannot see what their real expressions will be when they say these words.
"I actually think what you said makes sense..."
After a moment of silence, Lu Xin still said seriously to these two people who were no longer real.
"But..."
He was silent for a moment and then whispered, "You are so smart, don't you think about understanding the reactions of ordinary people?"
"You sacrificed them, but you think they shouldn't resist?"
"Are they not stupid enough, or are you not smart enough?"
"..."
Black Bishop and the old researcher were silent, with dull expressions and no intention of answering.
This shows that they do not have the answer to this question in their minds.
Lu Xin waited for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. He was actually trying to reason with a dead man... It was because these two people were unwilling to reason with him in this situation that they jumped from the high dome before he arrived.
He shook his head slightly, ready to take back the power of his fantasy.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of Black Bishop. His face, at this moment, seemed to come to life, and he said coldly, "If we are suitable for the experiment, we will enter the petri dish without hesitation."
"..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was suddenly stunned because of his words.
They are already dead, and even if they are awakened, they will only speak words deep in their instincts and memories.
And he suddenly said these words at this time, is it because he had hidden these words deeply before he died?
Waiting for you to tell them to yourself when you peek into their hearts after they die?
After a moment of silence, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and turned towards the two people who had not admitted their mistakes even if they died.
Nodding slightly, as if it was a courtesy.
Not to pay tribute to the careerist, but to pay tribute to the former dragon-slaying boy.
After doing this, he waved his hands gently, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
The power of fantasy slowly converged and returned to the mind. The two living figures also disappeared like the screen of a TV that was turned off. In front of Lu Xin, there were still only two pieces of broken flesh and blood, and in the middle of the group of broken flesh and blood, a stiff hand standing on the ground held a corner tightly, as if using this method to try to hand the envelope to him.
Lu Xin leaned over, took the letter from his hand, and then fell silent slightly.
I felt slightly dizzy for a moment, and a feeling that I didn't know whether to call it anticipation or relief came to my mind.
It's finally here.
He didn't need to see the content of the letter, he already understood what was written in the letter and why Gaoshan Laboratory became like this. He saw a familiar face. He came to Gaoshan Laboratory. Without using force, he just used words to convince these two people who were once at the top of the world to give him everything and then leave the world.
When exposed to this letter, Lu Xin even saw him smiling and talking.
"I'm here to invest."
"Teachers, the investment I want is the research results you have left now and your trump card."
"And, use your death to help me deliver a letter."
"..."
"..."
"What is this?"
Behind him, at some point, No. 2, No. 5, No. 3, No. 8, Little Nineteen and others all came over and looked at him with concern.
Lu Xin was silent for a while, handed the letter to them, and read it separately.
But after they opened the envelope, they were slightly stunned because there was nothing in the envelope.
Not even a blank piece of paper.
"This is the invitation given to us by Old Director."
Lu Xin explained to them calmly, but his voice seemed to be trembling slightly for some unknown reason:
"He knows that I don't need him to actually write anything to understand his intention and thoughts behind this letter."
"He said he wanted to invite us people to his home for a gathering..."
