Chapter 11 011.Humanity
Regarding the professor's remarks, Li Aozi was noncommittal. On the surface, he looked doubtful. In fact, his attitude towards the professor and even the entire Mingji Humanitarian Relief Organization was not very good.
Before being brought to the professor, he had been injected with various doses of medicine and underwent three hours of interrogation, but these were nothing to Li Ozi.
Although he is not an extraordinary person, his charm value is very high. After being beaten a few times, if he acts a little more miserably and utters a few words, the other party will believe him.
However, when faced with drugs such as Veritaserum, Li Ozi had no choice but to bite his tongue to prevent him from revealing the truth.
In fact, if Li Ozi opened the camp panel at this moment, he believed that the professor's favorability towards him would not be too low.
[Charm] The most comfortable thing about this attribute is that it releases it indiscriminately to the selected objects. Even elemental creatures, mechanical life forms, and Void Hunters, if your charm is high enough, they will prefer to be with you.
But in order to gain the other party's trust, Li Ozi deliberately hesitated before asking the professor:
"Esha, what exactly is it?"
"To answer this question - I have to ask how much you know about arcana."
"Is there any connection between this?" Li Aozi pretended to be confused.
"There's a lot of connection."
The professor stroked the frame of the mirror and patiently explained:
"You should know that before the Galactic Era, the so-called old era, people on the Blue Star did not have arcane powers, and there were no extraordinary people such as warriors and psychics. Human beings used nuclear weapons to greet each other, and they lived in a nuclear world. Amid the haze and panic of war, but also because of the existence of the principle of mutual destruction—all-out wars almost no longer break out between humans.”
"It's a bit ridiculous to say that the most peaceful period of human civilization was actually living on the edge of world destruction."
"However, the prerequisite for all this is based on 'the outbreak of nuclear war leading to the collapse of civilization.'"
"A historical philosopher once said: Weapons will determine the pattern of war. At a certain point in time, mankind has unleashed a power more evil than nuclear weapons."
The professor paused and suddenly asked:
"Mr. Patient, what do you think of superhuman beings?"
Li Aozi's heart moved, and he immediately answered in the format he expected:
"No matter how much Superman is an individual, he still needs a group to nurture and support him. However, the emergence of a large number of superhumans will greatly challenge the social order. The class gap that could have been balanced through knowledge and education will become more difficult in the future. across.”
The professor nodded, she was a little surprised:
"Should we say that he is a civilized person who took the initiative to escape to the outside world? It is indeed extraordinary."
"Superman's children will still be Superman, and they will be more stable than the chaebol and the royal family."
"Therefore, even if there is a person at the bottom who immediately changes his destiny through superhuman power, his descendants will still become the rulers of the monopoly class, even more so than before."
Having said this, the professor looked at him:
"The essence of all this that leads to changes in war patterns, class changes, and world order is the emergence of extraordinary beings."
"Extraordinary beings can sneak into the depths of cities at will to create terrorist attacks, assassinate corporate executives, government officials, or even cause natural disasters."
"Once such a superman appears, he will turn the old stable order upside down. In the end, it will also lead to a low nuclear deterrent effect. Under the assassination and destruction of superhuman beings, the top leaders of the country will start waging war wantonly and no longer cherish peace."
"The final outcome is the world today."
"So, what led to the emergence of extraordinary beings?"
"I think you should have guessed it."
Li Ozi said in a deep voice:
"Esha."
The professor sighed:
"Yes, everything is a problem with Esha."
"Although no one has ever pointed out what the red-black material in the sky outside is, there is no doubt that from the moment it appeared on the Azure Star, extraordinary beings also appeared on the ground."
"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"Those martial arts that claim to have been passed down for thousands of years were unknown during the nuclear war, but now that technology has become more advanced, warriors who only rely on physical strength have overnight become super warriors who can take the heads of enemy generals from thousands of armies. "
"Psychics and warlocks who have supernatural powers that do not conform to physics have always been regarded as feudal superstitions. There are even special agent organizations organized to cultivate psychic potential."
"These things have existed on Cerulean Star for less than three hundred years, and people forget that they all appeared almost overnight."
She pointed upward and said:
"Just like...the red and black cloud. It brings bad luck and allows evil spirits to flow."
"So, you call that red and black cloud an evil spirit?"
Li Ozi frowned. He had never done this task himself, and the other party's speech surprised him.
It's not that it's shocking... but it's pretty much guessed.
Although Li Aozi was not optimistic about whether conclusions could be drawn in time based on the other party's research methods, the professor's idea was right.
He then asked the question that triggered the task:
"Do you think Esha is a virus? That's why it infected me?"
"There is no doubt that Esha is an unprecedented virus."
The professor said solemnly:
"This is a nanovirus. The diameter is only a few tenths of a nanometer, while conventional viruses are usually more than 10 nanometers."
"There is no doubt that Esha is a substance that comes from the atmosphere and spreads through the air. It will not directly cause death. Patients whose infection level is below level 3 will not show obvious pathological characteristics."
"Yes, I can probably guess it by looking at your expression."
"The reason why the outside world can still retain most of the living people is actually the function of Esha. It will not kill the host, and even to a certain extent, as a small virus, it will choose to live in symbiosis with the host and kill Other viruses and microorganisms - so basically, people infected with evil spirits can be said to be immune to all diseases. "
Li Ozi nodded.
There is naturally a reason why there are resistance organizations like the 'Rose Army' in the outside world, and they can even compete with the four countries that control interstellar technology.
But then, the professor changed the subject:
"However, once the infection level is above level 3, the situation changes."
"As I said before, Esha's size is very small, which means that it can enter the cell membrane and cell wall of organisms and directly target chromosomes and molecular structures."
"It kills the original chromosome segment and then quickly copies itself to fill in the gap."
"Among them, some people have gained unprecedented extraordinary abilities due to their molecular structures being changed by the evil spirit, such as jumping farther, growing scales, and controlling bone growth independently."
"But most people are not so lucky."
"Most of the Level 3 infected people will quickly become deformed due to genetic collapse, or they will age and die early, or they will be unable to take care of themselves. In the end, they will only die."
"At level four, infected people will show new changes."
"Some of them mutated even more completely, even breaking away from their human form and degenerating into inhuman monsters. They wandered around the outside world and became terrifying evil beasts."
"The other group of Level 4 infected people, I boldly believe, are the most common extraordinary beings in the world today."
"Whether it's the internal energy that controls martial arts, or the arcana that controls the laws of nature, which is completely different from scientific rules, or the spiritual power that communicates and drives spiritual bodies, or the magic that communicates with elements, or even the hunter who extracts power from machinery, The elements of Esha can be detected in their bodies.”
"No matter how you look at it, such a virus is not a product of natural birth. After so many years of research, I am even more convinced that this red and black Esha virus is definitely not the handiwork of nature."
When the professor said this, he looked at Li Aozi with a heavy expression:
"In other words, this is a creation that exceeds the limits of human technology. Humanity's current technological and environmental levels are completely unable to create this kind of substance. Its source can only come from..."
The professor didn't clearly state the target, which seemed a bit taboo.
Li Ozi did not have such taboos. He saw that the time had come and took the initiative:
"—from the abyss of the stars."
"The Abyss of Stars... Haha, that's a very appropriate term."
The professor gave Li Aozi a complicated look:
"You are the only person we have observed who is consistent with level five infection."
“Although infected, they can still remain conscious, have strong self-mutilation tendencies and hallucinations—these are characteristics that do not appear in people with level four infections. Based on research information and clinical data, we have always believed that there are people with level five infections, but Until today...you have not shown the possibility of a match."
"……what you up to?"
"Mr. Li Ozi, you are very important."
The professor said:
"Mingji is a humanitarian relief organization that emphasizes human value and safeguards human dignity and rights. Likewise, we oppose any form of control and coercion of people's thoughts."
"Although your identity is important and can even be said to change the fate of all mankind. However, what we will do to you may not be called a humanitarian principle in the conventional sense."
"Simply put, we need you to cooperate with us in research, which is of great significance to the world and can even save the lives of billions of people outside."
"But, I also want to remind you."
"During the experiment, in order to achieve the purpose, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to your psychology and physiology. I hope to inform you of such consequences in advance."
"You can choose to leave. Mingji is a humanitarian relief organization. We do not want to kidnap your personal freedom of survival with the fate and future of all mankind."
"So make your choice."
She didn't finish her sentence. A system prompt immediately popped up in front of Li Aozi:
