Chapter 11 011. Humane
Regarding the professor's remarks, Li Ozi was noncommittal. On the surface, he appeared to be skeptical. In fact, his attitude towards the professor and even the entire humanitarian relief organization was not very good.

Before being brought to the professor, he had already been injected with various doses of medicine and had been interrogated for three hours, but these were really nothing to Li Aoz.

Although he is not an extraordinary person, his charm value is very high. After being beaten a few times, and performing a little more miserably, if he utters a few words, the other party will believe it.

However, in the face of drugs such as Veritaserum, Li Aoz had nothing to do. He could only bite his tongue to prevent the truth from being revealed.

In fact, if Li Aoz opened the faction panel at this moment, he believed that the professor's favorability for him would not be too low.

[Charm] The most comfortable thing about this attribute is that it releases the selected object indiscriminately. Even elemental creatures, mechanical life forms, and void hunters, if your charm is high enough, they will prefer to be with you.

However, in order to win the trust of the other party, Li Aoz hesitated on purpose before asking the professor:
"Esha, what the hell is it?"

"To answer this question—I must first ask, how much do you know about Aonen?"

"Is there any connection?" Li Aoz pretended to be puzzled.

"There's a lot of connection."

The professor stroked the mirror frame and patiently explained:
"You should know that before the Milky Way Era, that is, in the so-called old era, the people of Azure Planet did not have arcane powers, and there were no extraordinary people such as warriors and psychics. Humans greeted each other with nuclear weapons, and lived in nuclear In the haze and panic of war, but also because of the existence of the principle of mutual destruction - there are almost no all-out wars between human beings."

"It's ridiculous to say that the most peaceful period of human civilization is actually living on the verge of world destruction."

"However, the premise of all this is based on the 'breakout of nuclear war leading to the collapse of civilization'."

"A historical philosopher once said: Weapons will determine the mode of war. At a certain point in time, human beings turned on a more evil force than nuclear weapons."

The professor paused, then suddenly asked:
"Mr. Patient, what do you think of superhumans?"

Li Aoz's heart moved, and he immediately replied in the format expected in his heart:

"No matter what a superman is, he is still an individual, and he still needs groups to nurture and support him. However, when a large number of superhumans appear, the social order will be greatly challenged. The class gap that can be balanced through knowledge and education will become more difficult in the future. cross."

The professor nodded, she was a little surprised:

"Should it be said 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 will be more stable than the plutocrats and the royal family."

"Therefore, even if someone at the bottom immediately changes their destiny through superhuman power, his descendants will still become the rulers of the monopoly class, even more so than before."

Having said that, the professor looked at him:

"And leading to changes in the mode of war, changes in classes, and great changes in the world order-the essence of all of these is the emergence of extraordinary beings."

"Extraordinary people can sneak into the depths of the city at will, create terrorist attacks, or assassinate business executives, government officials, and even cause natural disasters."

"Once such a superman appears, the old stable order will be turned upside down. In the end, the effect of nuclear deterrence will also be low. Under the assassination and destruction of the superman, the country's top leaders will start wanton wars and no longer cherish peace."

"The final outcome—is the world today."

"Then, what caused the emergence of extraordinary people?"

"I think you should have guessed it."

Li Aoz said in a deep voice:

"Esha."

The professor sighed:
"Yes, everything is Ersha's problem."

"Although no one has ever pointed out what those red and black substances in the outer sky are, there is no doubt that when it appeared on the blue star, extraordinary people 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 the technology has improved and they only rely on physical strength, they have become super fighters overnight. "

"Abilities that do not conform to physics have always been regarded as psychics and warlocks of feudal superstition, and there are even special agent organizations specially organized to cultivate spiritual potential."

"These things have been around on Celeste for less than 300 years, and people forget that they all popped up almost overnight."

She pointed up and said:
"Just like... that red and black cloud. It brings bad luck and lets evil spirits run wild."

"So, you call that red and black cloud Esha?"

Li Aoz frowned. He had never done this task himself, and he was a little surprised by the other party's speech.

It's not that it's shocking to the world... It's just that the guesswork is close to ten.

Although according to the research method of the other party, Li Aoz is not optimistic about whether he can draw a conclusion in time, but the professor's thinking is correct.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the question of triggering the opening of the mission:

"You think Ersha is a virus? That's why it infected me?"

"There is no doubt that Ersha is a virus like never before."

The professor said in a deep voice:
"This is a nanovirus. The diameter is only a few tenths of a nanometer, while conventional viruses are usually more than 10 nanometers."

"Esha is undoubtedly a substance from the atmosphere. It is transmitted through the air. It will not directly cause death. Patients with an infection level below level 3 will not show obvious pathological features."

"Yes, I can probably guess it from your expression."

"The reason why the outside world can 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 coexist with the host and kill Other viruses and microorganisms—so basically, people who are infected with Esha can almost be said to be invulnerable to all diseases."

Li Aoz nodded.

There is naturally a reason why there are resistance organizations like the "Rose Army" in the outside world, and they can even confront 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, the size of Esha 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 chromosomal segment, then quickly replicates itself to form the complement."

"Among them, some people gained unprecedented extraordinary abilities because their molecular structure was changed by Esha, such as jumping farther, growing scales, and autonomously controlling bone proliferation."

"But most people don't have such luck."

"Most of the third-level infected people will quickly become deformed due to genetic collapse, or die of early aging, or be unable to take care of themselves. In the end, there is only one end to die."

"At level four, new changes will appear in the infected."

"Some of them mutated more thoroughly, even out of human form, and degenerated into inhuman monsters. Wandering in the outside world, they became terrifying beasts."

"The other part of the fourth-level infected people, I dare to think, is the most common extraordinary people in the world today."

"Whether it's the internal energy that controls the martial arts, or the arcane energy that manipulates the laws of nature, which is completely different from scientific rules, or the spiritual power that communicates with and drives spirits, or the magic that communicates elements, or even the hunter who extracts power from machinery, The ingredients 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 Aoz with a serious expression:
"In other words, this is a creation beyond the limits of human technology. Human beings' current technology and environmental level are completely unable to create this kind of substance. Its source can only come from..."

The professor didn't clearly specify the object, which seems a bit taboo.

Li Aoz didn't have such taboos. He saw that the time had come, so he answered:
"—from the abyss of the stars."

"The Abyss of Stars... Hehe, that's a very appropriate term."

The professor glanced at Li Aoz complicatedly:

"You are the only one we have observed that meets the existence of a fifth-level infection."

"Although infected, they can still maintain their sanity, have a strong tendency to self-harm and hallucinations-these are characteristics that have never appeared in people with level [-] infections. According to research data and clinical data, we have always believed that people with level [-] infections will appear, but Until today... you have shown the possibility of matching."

"……What do you want to do?"

"Mr. Li Ozi, you are very important."

The professor said:
"Mingji is a humanitarian rescue organization that emphasizes the value of people and safeguards human dignity and rights. Similarly, we oppose any form of control and coercion of people's thoughts."

"Although your identity is important, it can even be said that it can change the fate of all mankind. However, what we will do to you may not be called a humanitarian principle in the conventional sense."

"To put it simply, we need you to cooperate with us in our research, which is of great significance to the whole world, and can even save the lives of billions of people in the outside world."

"However, I also want to remind you."

"During the experiment, in order to accomplish 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 rescue organization. We don't want to kidnap your personal freedom of survival with the fate and future of all mankind."

"So please make your choice."

She didn't finish her sentence.A system prompt popped up in front of Li Aoz immediately:
-
[Do you want to join the Mingji Humanitarian Rescue Organization? 】
