Chapter 62: A Conversation About Lethe
TLT, the bottom of the Liberty Fortress, is the most heavily defended place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This mysterious place, but there is an unknown name, called "Lethe". In Chinese myths and legends, after death, people have to pass through the Ghost Gate Pass and pass through the Huangquan Road. And between the two, it is the Lethe River as the dividing line.
Suddenly, the edge of the two worlds is the same.
And Lethe, the lowest level of the fortress of freedom, also has a similar meaning. The so-called Lethe is the xenobiotic beast factor of this world, and being imprisoned in Lethe is contaminated with the xenobiotic beast factor, which is undoubtedly the door to another world for people.
However, it is not as described in myths and legends, the Lethe River here, because of the storage of xenobiotic beast factors, presents a dream-like dark blue, and the sparkling appearance makes people can't help but revel in it.
"Just looking at this light, I feel a sense of relief..."Yu Kirazawa put his hands behind his back, quietly watching the dreamy scene under his feet.
"It's as if I'm listening to the whispers of microparticles, and my heart is calm. β
Standing beside him was TLT manager Matsunaga, who looked at Lethe in front of him, but his eyes were not as light as Kira Zeyu's, but extremely heavy.
"This light is changing the fate of the earth to a great extent, who would believe you when you say this? Everything in front of you starts after this light hits the earth. β
With his hands propped up on the railing, Matsunaga sighed softly, "At a distance of 28,000 light-years from Earth, the M80 Scorpio globular cluster has exploded. When this light reached Earth, Xenobiotic appeared at the same time. β
"The vibrational waves emitted from the body when the xenobiotic is active react with the special neutrinos released from the wreckage of the supernova explosion. At that time, as an assistant to the Cabinet Intelligence Mission, I was appointed as the managing officer of the TLT Japan Branch. But even I don't know how much I know about the truth. Like what... Visitor's information. β
Kira Zeyu glanced at him slightly, and said indifferently, "Does the management officer want to know everything?"
"Of course not," Matsunaga shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Even if you know the truth, your memory will be erased immediately." But if it continues like this, Lethe will eventually be discovered. β
"I don't know..."Yu Kira Ze had a rare heavy expression, "How long can the matter of Lethe River be covered up." I used to be just a member of the communicator and communicated with the client, but who knows what is going to happen in the future?"
After a moment of silence, Matsunaga immediately asked, "You, what do you think of Nexus?"
"Giants?" said Kirazawa, looking at the beautiful Lethe River, "He is naturally here to protect humanity, and I have never had any doubts about this. β
"It's just... That's not enough. β
Matsunaga glanced at him and said, "So... Are you ready to execute your plan?"
"Hmm... It should be time. Kirazawa nodded, tore a strand of hair from his head, wrapped it between his fingers, and said indifferently: "Although Nexus has always protected us, and I am grateful in my heart, there are still some things that I have to do. β
After a pause, he seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled rarely, and turned back and said, "After a while, I may have to take a leave of absence..."
"Huh??"
"There's an old friend... Coming from the United States. Kirazawa smiled and curled her hair.
"Friend, Yuu, in that environment... Do you still have friends?" said Matsunaga's words, and he knew that he had lost his words.
However, for his apology, Kira Zeyu's face did not change much, and he said indifferently: "It's okay, this is the truth, isn't it?"
"That friend of mine once said to me, he said, even if you are in hell, you have to look up to heaven. β
"Rather... Very philosophical words. β
The corners of Kirazawa's mouth curled slightly, leaning on the railing, throwing the hair between his fingers from his hands, watching it fall slowly, and instantly dispatched an endless laser net, directly evaporating and disappearing into a red light.
"Prometheus... Isn't it hell..."
Matsunaga paused slightly, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I had only heard about this plan. β
"It's not a top-secret plan..."Kirazawa Yu shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "Or, it was top secret a long time ago, but now, it's not a top secret." β
"For practical reasons, isn't even such an inhumane genetic chain modification program recognized by governments..."
"I'm sorry..."Matsunaga bowed slightly, but Kirazawa Yu waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was okay.
With a calm face, he continued: "In 1989, visitors came down in the desert of the United States. Two years later, in 1991, the Prometheus Project for visitors began in Colorado, USA. β
"Oh... By the way, the parents of Saijo Kaze, the vice captain of Group A of the Night Raid Team, were in charge of the research work of the project at that time. It's just unfortunate ... At the beginning of the plan, Xenobiotes attacked the facility, killing her parents. β
"Indeedβ" Matsunaga nodded in agreement, and said no more.
"In fact, the so-called Prometheus Project is nothing more than the so-called Child of Genes Project carried out with the support of visitors. Through scientific and technological means, the excellent human genome chain is intercepted, the secondary recombination is carried out, and finally the so-called gene child is artificially created in the way of IVF... You know, that's how I was born. β
Matsunaga nodded slightly and said, "That's why you're so good..."
"Really?" Kirazawa Yu had a mocking smile on his face, shook his head, and said, "You're all wrong..."
"Huh??" Matsunaga looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"The real child of genes is not a new human bred through the Prometheus Project, but LIN, a child from Huaxia who came there in 2004. β
"Could it be the child of the gene independently developed by Huaxia?" asked Matsunaga.
"Heh..."Yu Kirazawa smiled and said, "I remember very well, he was already ... Twelve or thirteen years old, right?"
"Do you push back the clock 12 years, 1992 -- did Huaxia have the ability to develop the gene child at the same time as the United States? In fact, we all know how backward Huaxia is in genetic research. β
"So... Is his genes so good, completely natural?"
"Heh... Who knows..."Yu Kirazawa smiled and wrote lightly, "But he does show an astonishing ability, such as communicating with visitors across space with spirits, and he is the first human being to be able to have a conversation with a visitor without the help of a device." β
"Then he... Where are you now?"
Kirazawa straightened his clothes, turned around and left the place, and his voice sounded indifferently.
"LIN... He's coming..."
