Chapter 254 “God”

When Xia Ye saw this, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. If she guessed correctly, the "head" mentioned by Mosha here should be the same type of thing as the one on her neck now.

She read on.

I have been a little out of shape these days, but my colleagues in the company have shown understanding to me. The manager of the human resources department of "Ether Exploration" even came to express condolences to me once and said that as long as I am willing, he can make an exception and let me take half a month off. Long paid leave.

Others thought it was Isom's death that caused my depression, and this was indeed one of the reasons. Isome has been a friend of mine for many years. We have known each other since we were at the "Ether Research Comprehensive Academic College". After graduation, we started a business together, carried out research, and obtained investment in "Ether Exploration." We were about to succeed, but she was like this Inexplicably...

However, this is only one of the reasons, not even the most important one. I know very well in my heart that I am actually... afraid.

The experiment went in a completely unexpected direction. At first, I thought it was an accident. But in the past two days, as the research on that "head" gradually deepened, I became more and more doubtful whether my experiment should still be carried out. continue?

Including the smaller half of the neck, the height of the "head" is 20cm;

The weight is exactly 3000g;

The appearance is flawless, the hair color is pure black, and clear muscles, blood vessels and the cross-section of the spine can be observed at the fracture of the neck; however, since it cannot open its eyes, the color and shape of the eyes are not yet clear.

In short, if you just look at it from the outside, it's basically just an ordinary pretty head.

But not all people in the laboratory who have access to it call it a "brain". Most people call it "that head-looking thing."

Because that is not a human head at all. If you ignore the appearance, it is an... indestructible and airtight black box.

We used every contract we could think of, from the "eye of truth" to the "surgeon" to the "probe", but we were still unable to peek into its interior - we couldn't even lift the thin layer of eyelids. !

After that, we tried to use some more violent methods on it, but it also had no effect. However, this does not mean that it is as hard as aether steel. On the contrary, it has the touch of normal skin. Almost all of us were curious. Use your fingers to pinch its face - it's like an ordinary girl's face, soft and elastic. If you touch it carefully, you can even feel a trace of warmth...

However, no matter whether it is sharp weapons, blows, ordinary flames, witch flames, or even all the means we can think of, they can't leave even a scratch on the skin that seems to be broken by a blow!

Today, the great witch who once inspected our laboratory called me into her office and chatted with me for a full hour.

When I first received the notice, I thought this was an accountability to me, but as soon as the conversation started, the great witch from "Ether Exploration" praised me greatly, and she expressed her appreciation for the "results" of the experiment so far. Very satisfied, and asked me to repeat the next experiment according to the parameters of the latest experiment in order to summon more "heads".

Finally, she told me very bluntly that as long as I did a good job, there would be a middle-management position in "Ether Exploration" waiting for me in the future, and this meant that I could enter the Uptown District in the future - there was no doubt that this It is the dream of everyone who works for "Aether Exploration".    But I hesitated...

The big witch was not surprised by my hesitation. She asked me if I still cared about Isom's death, thinking that I was climbing to a high position in the company on the bones of her best friend.

I was a little surprised. I was surprised that the other person was so humane. I had met many "Ether Exploration" employees, and most of them were as indifferent as the six-ray ice in our laboratory, not to mention that the other person had a higher status than those people. Much higher. Of course, this kind of human touch is probably just a performance by the other party, but even so, it is enough to make me admire him, because others don't even bother to act.

The big witch seemed to take my stunned reaction as a reaction to what was on her mind, and told me that she was equally sorry for Isom's death, but precisely because of this, I couldn't give up even more. She told me that our experiments were on the right track. She even hinted to me that those experiments could explore not only the source of power of the witch contract, but also even more incredible existences. But if this When he gave up, Isom's sacrifice was wasted.

After a moment of silence, I agreed to her.

It seems that the Great Witch was very satisfied with my performance yesterday. Early this morning, "Ether Exploration" announced that my position would be promoted from VP level 3 to D level 1. At the same time, all employees in the company would receive a 10% salary increase. There was great joy in the company, and there were endless congratulations and compliments to me. No one cared about Isome, who had died just a week ago, and the other twelve colleagues.

But the reason why I agreed to the big witch yesterday was not because her words convinced me, but because those words indirectly confirmed a guess I had always made.

In our common language, there are many words of unknown meaning, such as "male", "female", "gender", and "mammal". These words seem to be used to describe a very peculiar type of creatures. They are divided into Two subtypes must perform a unique behavior by different subtypes in order to complete reproduction. But we have never found similar creatures in the etheric sea, and I even doubt whether they really exist. After all, it is hard to imagine that a group can survive by relying on such a cumbersome reproduction method.

If there may be such a creature in the depths of the distant etheric sea, and these words were passed down by traveling witches who had seen them; then, there are other words that are even more incredible, such as "continent" , "country", "car", "airplane", etc... To put it simply, these words seem to come from another world. That world must be very different from ours. There, there are many things we have never seen before. past things.

But no matter what, the above two types of words describe something that may actually exist, but for some words, I am not even sure whether they describe some kind of abstract concept or something that actually exists.

A typical example of this is "god".

According to the definition of the word, this is an ultimate existence. Its power is so powerful that there is almost no limit. It can satisfy any wish as long as it is willing. Even the entire world is created by this thing called "god".

But if that’s all it is, it’s not so difficult to understand, but the key point is that, according to the interpretation, “gods” have personalities—perhaps a little different from our personalities, but they do have their own personalities, preferences, Even joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

This is a very illogical thing, so in the past I have always believed that "gods" are a concept imagined by some weak creatures. The word was created because for some reason, This creature must imagine an existence that is similar to itself, but powerful and omnipotent, as its spiritual support.

Only in this way can the existence of the word "god" be logical...

But—maybe I’m overthinking it, but my intuition tells me that the “more incredible existence” that the great witch hinted at in her conversation yesterday was referring to “gods.”
