Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 258 Pioneer sleeps here
Confessions of a Sinner...

In the laboratory, Xin Lailai looked at the content on the screen, squinting slightly and saying nothing.

"Then...well, the big performer, do you want to help him collect the body?"

Quan Momo glanced at the bones scattered on the ground that were thrown aside by Xin Lailai, and asked cautiously.

After reading the other person's life story, she always felt weird looking at the other person's body just dumped here.

"No, just leave it here. This is his own choice."

Xin Lailai glanced at the bones on the ground, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a cold tone.

"Good... good!"

When Quan Momo heard Xin Lailai's cold tone, he was excited, straightened up and said, and then followed Xin Lailai's eyes and continued to look at the log on the screen.

Just like what the other party said, after recording his life, the following diary is like a different person suddenly. At a glance, it seems as if the owner of the text suddenly became rational and sober, and even the contents are different. The depth of her thoughts gradually became difficult for her to understand.

……

[Time: 2031.11.23, Recorder: Karen]

[Nearly half a month has passed since Arthur chose to block the Tower of Babel. 】

[In the past half month, as written in the previous diaries, I have thought about various ways to stop...or kill Arthur Shanak. 】

[But in the end, I gave up these ideas. There were no weapons in the Tower of Babel, but those weapons were just ordinary Tao Steel firearms. Even in the case of a sneak attack, it was impossible to break through Arthur Shanak. The repulsive force field on the body surface. 】

[Now, I am just like the unarmed ordinary person who fell into a four-meter pothole. Even though I can come up with thousands of hypotheses to climb out of the pothole, I can't do anything in the face of the facts in front of me. 】

[Arthur Shanak is not a cursed child. Although he has implanted a steel prosthesis on himself, as long as his brain suffers an ordinary heavy blow, he will coma or even die directly like an ordinary person. 】

[But even if the conditions are so simple, when I put them into practice, I will find that it is far more difficult to achieve than I imagined. Arthur Shanak and I are not the only two people in this institute. There are other researchers, guards, and those cyborgs produced by Arthur Shanak. 】

[With the existence of these people, it is obviously an unrealistic option for me to use the most direct violent means to solve the problem. Even if I choose to inject myself with the gastrula virus and transform into a gastrula organism, the final result will be huge. The probability is also that he will be killed before touching Arthur Shanak. 】

[However, there is no chance. 】

[I am the head of the Third Research Institute of Babel, a researcher who can participate in the core research projects of Babel. Although Arthur Shanak is a genius, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. His research cannot be without us. assistance from these people. 】

[Yes, his research, which is full of madness but is being realized step by step, is my only chance. 】

……

[Time: 2031.12.9, Recorder: Karen]

[The plan was successful. Arthur Shanak was not aware of what I was doing. After all, I did not do anything in the research. Instead, I went all out to assist him in advancing the research. 】

[It’s just that success is achieved in the way I envisioned]

……

[Time: 2031.12.15, Recorder: Karen]

[All preparations have been completed. It’s incredible. I didn’t expect that the highest achievement in my life would be achieved under such circumstances. That guy Arthur Shanak has been very excited these days and even decided to let me serve as the first research institute. deputy director, but these have long been meaningless to me. 】

[Now, I only have peace in my heart. Yes, it sounds amazing, right?But it is what it is. 】

[In this more than a month, after I woke up, I thought about a lot of things, especially the question of why we became what we are now. 】

[I looked through the records of past human civilizations preserved in the research institute, and found that in all past human civilizations, discrimination similar to the Cursed Son seems to have existed in every period. 】

[In an era before civilization, humans in some areas would choose to abandon their offspring who were too weak when they were young. 】

[In a period when people were still in ignorance, in some civilized cultures, boys were retained and girls were traded or simply discarded. 】

[Even during the period known as the Golden Age, there is still discrimination among humans against individuals who are forced to suffer from certain diseases or have physical defects. They are prohibited from approaching, refused to work, and ostracized as aliens. and ridicule. 】

[Including the discrimination against the Cursed Children by people in the world today, it is exactly the same in law as those phenomena in history that from the current perspective are completely ignorant and barbaric. 】

[However, unlike the discrimination in the past, our discrimination against the Cursed Son has surpassed any recorded discrimination in history. Just a pair of red eyes and a part of the power that is different from ordinary people can actually make people Biological parents, people who claim to be righteous and moral, and human civilization that has taken thousands of years to get out of the barbarism of eating hair and drinking blood, all the hatred brought by another creature is inflicted on a group of people who are persecuted by this creature. on the children. 】

[This is a kind of regression of civilization, a chilling regression. When all of us are immersed in the fear caused by gastrea and the pleasure of venting our emotions on a group of children, we are also gradually moving away from [ Humans], regressing towards primitive and violent creatures like [Gastrula]. 】

[Not physically, but mentally. 】

[When I realized this, I completely understood why, Ms. Sumire Muroto, you were so determined to support the gentleman named Rentaro Satomi and the ruler named Shotenko. 】

[Their spirits have not yet experienced this regression. They, like those children, are still [pure humans], and we guys are just a group of people swallowed by the fear caused by gastrea. It’s just an [alien] that is deviating from humanity. 】

[When a civilization faces huge survival pressure, in order to survive, the civilization will choose to abandon a small part of the group, abandon a part of the morality, and replace a part of the [human nature] with [animal nature] according to the current situation, until it gets out of the predicament. , civilization will begin to reflect on its past behavior and begin to pick up the part of humanity that it once discarded. 】

[The emergence of gastrula has brought mankind a much greater challenge than any dilemma it has encountered in the past. Because of this, under unimaginable survival pressure, this time, mankind has abandoned [humanity] Far bigger than any time before. 】

[From the objective laws of history, this may be inevitable, but from my own perspective, I will never agree with such a choice. 】

[It is precisely because I was once one of those who fell into it that I understand even more how terrifying it is. 】

[Everything has its limit. Once that limit is crossed, just like the erosion rate of gasterozoan viruses, it will cause irreversible tragedy. 】

[If this phenomenon is allowed to exist as a matter of course, even if we defeat the gastrea on the material level in the future, the boundary between [human] and [animal] on the spiritual level will inevitably collapse. 】

[At that time, [Gastrentera] will be reborn in another form that is more invisible and more terrifying, in a body called [Human]. 】

[In comparison, I suddenly realized how insignificant and ridiculous the things I had been doing and were doing now were. 】

[To this day, most humans in the world still do not understand where our real enemy is?How precarious is the line between man and beast? 】【When I understood these things, I could no longer immerse myself in hatred, but felt an indescribable sadness. 】

[But I can't stop at this sadness. My reason tells me that I should continue to think forward. 】

[Yes, thinking. 】

[Whether it was in the past or now, this is the way to truly lead mankind out of trouble. 】

[I think I may have caught something. 】

……

[Time: 2031.12.20, Recorder: Karen]

[Ms. Muroto Sumire, when I write this, I am no longer attached to my past. 】

[Arthur Shanak is no longer a chasm in front of me, because I have seen the abyss that is more terrifying than his thoughts. 】

[However, I will still stay here and continue to stop him, and there is a high probability that this will cost me my own life. This is not only responsible for my ridiculous first half of life, but also because what Arthur Shanak did is indeed Someone should stop it. 】

[As for the short second half of my life, I will leave it to you to witness. I will write down my thoughts on the dilemmas faced by mankind. I hope that these thoughts that may be too far-sighted can be of some help to you. 】

[I will use the perfect work that Arthur Shanak has pursued all his life and end his life. At the same time, I will seal that work. If you do not have the ability to transcend [Stage V], please do not wake it up. it. 】

[The reason why I wrote this paragraph is not only because of your worry about accidentally finding it without guidance, but also because from my personal point of view, if possible, I would like to ask you to end its pain, and Not like Arthur Shanak, using it as a tool to pursue power. 】

[The above, Ms. Sumire Muroto, please allow me, as a human being, to take the first step on this path. 】

[——Student not recognized by you, Karen]

【THAN】

……

silence.

After reading the entire log, even Quan Momo, who always liked asking questions, fell silent at this moment.

No one could have imagined that a guy who could be described as self-reliant in the first half of his life would actually have such a dazzling depth of thought at the end of his life.

From regret and hatred, to calmness and reason, to the freedom and ease of taking the first step.

Quan Momo originally thought that the second half of the diary was about how the other party took revenge on Arthur Shanak in despair, but when she saw the latter, she almost forgot the name Arthur Shanak. The presence.

It seemed that as she read the changes in the other person's mind, her thoughts moved to higher places along with the words written by the other person, and she was no longer obsessed with some insignificant little people.

Yes, little people.

Compared with Karen when she wrote the last paragraph of the diary, Quan Momo suddenly felt that Arthur Shanak, one of the four sages in the original work, who had been praising her curiosity along the way, was actually just a brainless person. He's just a little guy who's too easy to use.

"Um, the big performer, this senior named Karen... what does he look like in the original work?"

"A small character that no one cares about, his name won't even appear in the original work."

Xin Lailai said calmly that according to the plot he knew, in the original work, the [Obelisk] Research Institute was destroyed in the out-of-control riot of the Cursed Sons before it even had time to appear.

The following plot is that the protagonist Satomi Rentaro came to Australia to deal with the incident. In the end, just like the previous plot, he successfully defeated the man who was close to stage V after sacrificing a loli he had just met. The power of the Cursed Child, out of control, ends this volume.

Even in the guides compiled by the contractors, the name Karen was only mentioned once as a member of the Obelisk Research Institute, and he was a standard sidekick character with only one name.

But such a small character, in such a place that was destroyed before even appearing in the original work, after experiencing the pain of despair, wrote such a diary that directly points to the essence of human diseases in the black bomb world. .

"If we can't collect his body, I'd better do it myself."

Xin Lailai said, turned around, looked at the white bones scattered on the ground, squatted down, picked them up piece by piece, used magic chips to hold them together, and pieced them together.

Peng -!
A flash of fire rose from Xin Lailai's hand. When Quan Momo saw this, his breath tightened. He thought Xin Lailai was going to burn the opponent's bones directly, but he saw Xin Lailai suddenly took the hand from Ling Yuzi. The clothes that fell into a ball on the ground.

I saw Xin Lailai spreading the clothes on the table. The flame in his hand suddenly spread and turned into a circle of warm light red light attached to Xin Lailai's arm. Then, he saw Xin Lailai reaching out to brush the clothes. He passed the clothes on the table and ironed the wrinkles on them directly with Quan Momo's shocked eyes.

Finally, Xin Lailai picked up the ironed clothes and put them back on the skeleton one by one, and put a white coat symbolizing the researcher on the other person.

"Copy all the information inside and take it away."

Xin Lailai looked at Ling Yuzi and whispered. Ling Yuzi nodded slightly, took out the technology terminal bought with 100 park points in the park, connected it to the port on the console in front of him, downloaded all the above content, and converted it After the data is formatted, the terminal is used to send it to the imprinting interface.

After doing this, Xin Lailai looked at the log on the screen, stretched out his hand, entered the next line on it, locked the screen, took out the ID card inserted in the card slot, and pinned it back to the other party's white coat. superior.

"Let's go."

"Um, no...don't you need to put him away?"

"No need, this is enough."

"Okay… okay."

Hearing this, Quan Momo nodded and looked at the sentence typed by Xin Lailai on the screen:
[Time: 2033.5.9, Recorder: Performer]

　PS: This chapter is a question and answer and in-depth exploration of Black Bullet’s worldview. A civilization becomes deformed under the pressure of survival, and pioneers emerge from the deformity. It is actually quite a headache to describe these things. After all, the original Black Bullet There is indeed something lacking in the core, so the author can only use it freely...
