Chapter 1396 The Call of the Stars (Twenty-Two)

The light in Karma Taj's Zen room is always dim, but when the sun sets, the golden light falling on the ridges of the Himalayas is reflected by the white snow into the circular Zen window, making it even brighter.

The two people sitting in front of the window seemed a little silent. After a while, Stark was the first to speak: "Do you think what the owner of the notebook said about 'absurdity has absurd beauty' is right?"

Strange frowned, looked into Stark's eyes, his eyes were very serious, and said: "I may not have the answer you want here. In the eyes of the mages, no matter how vulnerable you are, Neither the body nor the thin and fragile soul can be called useful, it can even be said to be a drag. "

"You look like a complete black magician."

"I am."

"You know? Stephen, you have changed a lot." Stark tilted his head and looked at Strange, as if he wanted to put pressure on him with his eyes, but Strange shook his head and said, "You don't have to be with me. Just because I played this trick doesn’t mean you haven’t changed.”

"We are all exploring the future path of mankind, so we have done a lot of thinking that is not humane. Of course, I have thought about how to sublimate the human soul into a more powerful existence, and don't tell me that you have never thought of treating it this way. their flesh."

"You used 'them'." Stark opened his eyes slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with the word, but Strange shook his head bluntly and said: "You and I both understand, it's not you who doesn't Once you become the Iron Demon, you will be exactly the same as the ordinary people working on the ground. This is impossible, Tony."

“Whether it is physical or psychological, what we see, hear, and think, we can no longer be completely consistent with ordinary people, because we must not only go in front of them and explore the road for them, but also walk behind them, Drive them forward."

"If we pursue too much to stand with ordinary people in a crude way, it will only lead to our narrow vision and make everything into a mess. We are not that group of young people, and no one has the ability to make excuses for our wrong decisions and Humanity pays for it in the wrong direction.”

"So why do you have to be ashamed of your superior perspective and the thoughts in your head that may be very evil to ordinary people?" Stephen stared at Stark and said: "You didn't really arrest them. Experimenting, me too.”

Stark seemed a little silent. He seemed to be experiencing a change in his thoughts, and then closed his eyes in pain, and said: "Even if I think the most precious thing about human beings is their wisdom, such a monster shape can Was it accepted?"

"Or is it that I have never given up my superficial sense of belonging and love for human appearance, and cannot accept that in fact, when a group of monsters possess human intelligence, they should also enjoy the same civilized society as us, instead of being destroyed?"

"I'm not a psychiatrist." Stephen shook his head and said, "But I can guess that after you saw the truth revealed by the owner of this notebook, you did not feel sympathy for the group of destroyed monsters, nor did you feel sympathy for the people who destroyed them. If people have any intention to blame, this is inconsistent with your previous theory of the supremacy of wisdom and reason."

"That's right." Tony showed a wry smile and said as if joking, "You should get a psychiatrist license."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have a degree." Stephen shrugged and poured Tony another cup of tea. Tony picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "My reason is telling me that the process of human beings transforming into monsters is just In the throes of evolution, they may just be on a different path.”

"Just like I once thought, can ordinary people take the path of mechanization? But now think about it, what is the difference between connecting a circuit in a certain part of the human body and growing tentacles?"

"Of course, you will get their consent."

Tony was stunned for a moment, but Strange leaned back on the back of the single sofa, raised his chin slightly, and said in an extremely arrogant manner:

"Human beings will never accept any destiny that is dictated to them."

This was like a bell ringing deep in his heart, shaking Stark out of those trivial and tangled philosophical thoughts.

"Perhaps, humans abandoning some of their limbs and growing tentacles and mucus is an alternative path in physical evolution. They can abandon the existing achievements of civilization, destroy them, and unconsciously transform into another kind of life. form, without even realizing this transformation, is this evolution? No, this is a large-scale kidnapping and illegal transformation that affects all mankind.”

"Tony, you are always arrogant, but you are not arrogant enough." Strange changed his leg and put it on his lap, and said: "The direction in which humans will evolve is determined by humans. Humans only recognize humans." a savior, not an illusory god.”

"No matter how beneficial this evolution is to mankind and how great it is, it cannot be without the consent of the subject of evolution. If they do this and even want us to regard this as a gift, then think about your old profession - —How humans used the industrial revolution to kill the god of good weather.”

Tony smiled, looked at Stephen and said, "You should get a psychiatrist's license, I'm serious."

After that, he picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and said: "I think you are right. Human wisdom and reason do determine that they have the right to choose and decide. We are a kind of intelligent creatures who can choose and be responsible for our own choices, rather than blindly kneeling on the ground waiting for someone to bless us."

Strange changed direction and leaned on the armrest on the other side, and said: "Schiller and I hold the same view that the dark side of human nature is the driving force for the development of civilization."

"I think if God comes now and announces that humans must do what he says, and his orders really touch the interests of some people, then they will definitely dare to take up guns and kill God."

"What is lacking is what we sing praises. Humans are Judas, so they fantasize about Jesus."

Strange also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "I am very interested in this I'm sorry for what happened to the human beings in the world, but since they didn't notice the disaster coming, had no chance to resist, and didn't resist successfully, then the end of being destroyed is what they deserve. "

"Don't say that they can still maintain a normal and orderly social life. Before being slaughtered, the lamb also thinks that it owns the entire grassland. If the entire civilization has no chance to fight for autonomy, it is better to sleep forever. "

"Not free, mother would rather die?"

"Not free, mother would rather die."

"How do you feel?" Jarvis put a blanket he found downstairs on Wanda and asked.

As the breath of the night became heavier, everyone began to tremble with fear. The experience of the previous two nights gave them too much of a blow.

Young people never lack courage. Even a short-term failure will not make them too frustrated. They can quickly adjust their status and re-enter the battle. But what makes them feel most powerless and panic is that they didn't see who the enemy is, and didn't know how they were attacked, and they had already failed.

The so-called scars on the back are the shame of a soldier. These panicked lambs didn't even know where their backs were, but they were stabbed hard. If they were stabbed again, the slaughterhouse might not want them.

Night finally fell.

Several people huddled in the sofa, waiting for the trial that would come at an unknown time. Jarvis made some coffee for everyone, which he found downstairs, but no one was in the mood to drink it. They all looked pale and dull.

Soon an hour passed, nothing happened, and the strange silence was the only thing in the room.

Another hour passed, and the night was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. If Jarvis remembered correctly, when the first night came, Lai Li lost control at this time.

"Laili, how do you feel?" Jarvis asked.

Lai Li was obviously a little frightened. He almost jumped up from the sofa, then shook his head vigorously and said, "I didn't feel anything."

"Are your ears okay?"

"I..." Lai Li paused, then looked at Jarvis with some embarrassment and said, "I know you want us to feel better, but you really don't have to be so loud."

Instantly, everyone stared at Lai Li with wide eyes. Lai Li blinked, somewhat confused as to why they did this, and soon everyone gathered around Lai Li again. Wanda raised her voice and asked, "Can you hear it?!"

"Of course I don't..."

Laili suddenly froze, then he touched his ears with his hands and shook his head vigorously, but nodded again. Nodding, he stood up from the sofa in a panic and said, "I heard your voices, but, but not with my ears."

"My ears still hurt, my eardrum is broken, and I was too hard at the time, which may have damaged the auditory nerve. I couldn't hear anything before, and the world was as quiet as death."

"But, but Jarvis's voice just appeared in my mind, I didn't hear them with my ears."

So, Jarvis turned around so that Lai Li couldn't see his lip shape, and lowered his voice and said, "Can you hear what I say now? Do you want a cup of coffee?"

"Of course I can hear it, and I don't like coffee very much." Lai Li replied instinctively.

He stood there in shock, looking down at himself in disbelief, and Jarvis motioned him to sit down and began to ask him:

"Did the sound appear directly in your mind?"

"Yes, it's a bit like the sound I heard when I was talking to myself in my mind. What I heard seemed to be my own voice, and the tone and attitude of your speech were all imagined by me."

"So what about the song you mentioned?" Wanda leaned over and asked.

"I'm not sure if it still sounds." Lai Li frowned and said, "There are too many voices in my mind. My spider sense is back online and a little different. I don't know what to say."

Suddenly Lai Li was stunned for a moment, looked at Jarvis and said, "Jarvis, your water is boiled."

Jarvis was stunned. He didn't understand why Lai Li suddenly said this. A few seconds later, the sound of boiling water bubbling came from downstairs. He did boil a pot of water just now.

Several people walked downstairs together, and Jarvis asked: "Did you hear the sound before the water boiled?"

"Maybe, but the form is a little different from what you think."

Jarvis stopped, and Lai Li explained with his hands and feet: "I saw a picture - a silver coffee pot was hung on a temporary bracket, with a pile of fire below, and its lid was fluttered by the boiling water, and then fell to the ground on the right."

Wanda rushed down rashly past the two people, then turned her head to look at Jarvis who was walking over, silently asking if the scene was like this. When Jarvis held her hand, Wanda understood that everything Lai Li said was true.

"Incredible." Jarvis commented: "Is this a form of spider sense? Predicting the future?"

"I don't know." Lai Li shook his head and said: "I can only tell you that I heard everything, and what I heard formed a picture in my mind, and I said it out."

The few people tested it several times, and then found that Lai Li's lost hearing and his spider sense seemed to be integrated. He could hear everything around him, even the future of everything a few seconds later. This is incredible.

"Ah!"

Wanda suddenly screamed.
