Ichimu Sumire was silent for a while, and then laughed indifferently: "Well, since you can investigate me, you have some skills." I'll tell you about the reward for it, and I hope you won't regret it after listening to it again. ”

"Where should I start?" Muroto Sumire tapped her chin with her finger, "The relics of the seven stars that attract Scorpio, you've already seen its true face, right?"

"Yes. Rentaro nodded: "It's hard to imagine, it's a three-wheeled bicycle used by children." ”

Tiantongmu added: "It is probably the kind used by children between the ages of four and six, and judging from its style, it should be a product of more than ten years ago." ”

"Twelve years ago, to be exact, there were no gastroids, the whole world was thriving, there was a space program to explore the universe, and the ladder was a product of it. Muroto Sumire paused and said quietly, "Inside, there's something called the Black Swan Project. ”

"Black Swan Project?" Rentaro repeated.

"Is it based on the black swan theory?" Tendo Mu, who was obviously more knowledgeable than Rentaro, recalled for a moment and said seriously: "Before the discovery of Australia, Europeans believed that all swans were white, and often used the term "black swan" to refer to things that could not exist, but this belief collapsed with the appearance of the first black swan. From that day on, the black swan represents an unpredictable and significant rarity event, an unexpected change. People tend to turn a blind eye to things and are accustomed to explaining these unexpected shocks with limited life experience and fragile beliefs, which is the 'black swan theory'. ”

A textbook-like answer, commendable. Sumire Muroto clapped her hands.

"But this is just a man-made concept, what does it have to do with the Seven Stars Legacy?" asked Rentaro, puzzled.

"That's stupid, Rentaro, if those guys were as stupid as you were at the time, maybe the world would be a better place. Muroto Sumire asked rhetorically, "Rentaro, what do you think of the idea that humans can fly?"

"Humans can fly?" Rentaro shook his head, "How is this possible!"

"On what basis do you think so?"

Rentaro paused for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Do you still need a basis for this kind of thing, it's always been like this, right?"

"It's like a European who believes that swans are only white. Sumire Muroto said with a smile, "But the last thing it turned out was that humanity is narrow-minded. ”

Rentaro's brain was a little insufficient, and he frowned and said, "Wait, wait, I'm a little messy." Do you mean that the Black Swan Project is about creating humans who can fly?"

"Of course not!" Sumire Muroto explained, "The Black Swan Project is to break the existing conventions of human beings, break through the innate limitations, and allow human beings to have infinite possibilities again. If it succeeds, it will probably be a piece of cake for humans to fly away and something like that. ”

"Flying away......" Rentaro felt a little stomachache: "Using science to study these things that the gods are talking about, what are those scholars thinking in their heads!"

"At the end of science, it will become something that gods talk about. Sumire Muroto said, "You can think of flying away as a superpower, and the Black Swan Project is a plan to turn all of humanity into superhumans...... This should be a little easier to understand. ”

"Okay. Rentaro nodded: "I already know about the Black Swan Project, so what does it have to do with the Seven Star Heritage?"

"Don't worry, that's what I'm going to talk about. Sumire Muroto said with a look of nostalgia, "At that time, the world's top scholars were all gathered to conduct this cross-generational research. No one could say how long it would take, so we built an independent village and attracted many volunteers to the experiment with generous policies. Eventually, the village gathered about 200 people who worked day and night for the future of humanity and are said to have made a lot of progress. The village was eventually named for ease of calling...... Seven Star Village!"

"Seven Stars...... Village?" Rentaro's eyes widened, and a trembling voice came out of his throat: "That seven-star heritage is ......?"

"It's not so much the seven-star heritage as the seven-star relics, as the literal meaning is, those things that can attract the five stages of the gastrulation creatures are the relics of the seven-star village back then!"

Rentaro sat on the ground and gasped for air. A terrible thought formed in his mind: a non-so-called proto-intestinal creature was actually a natural enemy created by humans themselves?

"That'...... What happened later?" Tiantong Mu swallowed his saliva and asked nervously, "What happened to make Seven Star Village a ...... Seven Star Legacy?"

"Do you want to continue asking?" said Sumire Muroto, with some surprise, "I thought that would be enough." ”

"It's not enough!" Tian Tong Mu gritted his teeth and said, "At least we must know what happened back then, so as to prevent the same thing from happening again!"

"It's a great idea. Sumire Muroto shrugged indifferently and continued, "Studies have found that children who don't have a mindset have more potential than adults, so the experiment focused on eleven children. But as you might have guessed, the experiment changed, the aragus appeared, the Seven Star Village was destroyed, and the humans were defeated......"

"In other words......" Rentaro gasped and said with difficulty, "The known eleven stage fives, all of them are ...... It's all ......."

"Ah, if there is no accident, it is the eleven children from the beginning. Probably still retains a little human consciousness, which is why they are attracted to the things of 'life', which is why an ordinary bicycle can attract Scorpio. Muroto Sumire's expression darkened slightly: "That kid probably likes that bicycle very much." ”

"Is there ...... This reason!" Rentaro trembled all over, and even the roots of his teeth bit out blood: "You guys...... What have you scholars done?"

Muroto Sumire said lightly: "Any progress comes at a price, the only difference is that this time the price is a little bigger!"

Rentaro grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall, asking loudly, "You know so well what happened back then, are you one of them? Is it you who made this world what it is? Is it you who turned innocent children into terrible monsters?"

The huge strength of the prosthetic limb made Muroto Sumire miserable, and Tendo Mu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Rentaro, calm down!"

"How do you calm me down!" Rentaro yelled, "It's because of these bastards that our lives and our world are all over!"

"In fact, there are no survivors in Seven Star Village. Both volunteers and researchers died in the accident that year. Sumire Muroto smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a bitter voice, "The reason why I know all this is because my boyfriend was one of the researchers back then, and he told me everything by email. ”

The clenched hand was released, and Sumire Muroto sat on the floor, coughing violently.

Rentaro always knew that the doctor's boyfriend was killed by the gastrulation, but he didn't know that his boyfriend was killed by the stage 5 gastrulation.

"Let's go, Sister Kisara!" Rentaro said with a cold face, "I don't want to stay in this disgusting place for a second!"

Tendo hesitated even more, but still kept up with Rentaro's footsteps.

"Hey, Rentaro!" Sumire Muroto suddenly exclaimed, "You have to be careful, don't think that you can sit back and relax by killing Scorpio, friendship is great!"

Rentaro frowned, and Tendo didn't understand, but Muroto Sumire didn't plan to say anything more now, looking at the ceiling with a blank face, showing a weak smile, as if the whole person was broken.

This person must be in pain too, right?

Rentaro suddenly had such a thought, and a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion came over him, making him want to sleep without waking up.

He suddenly had some ...... I regret knowing the truth.
