Chapter 30: The Triumph of Mankind (5th Watch)
"No one knows whether the path we chose is right or wrong, but two hundred years have passed, and even the wrong things have become reality, even if we don't admit it...... Maybe we are no longer human, but we still have to go down this road. The old man spoke very slowly, as if he had only one breath left, and he finally smiled and said, "You have been fighting with the research institute, I have been trapped in the research institute and cannot come out, and even their research on you is unnecessary. Because everyone understands this essential thing...... It's just that the powerful don't want to admit it. ”
Zhong Lan was silent for a moment, and she asked, "Who are you?" Why don't you doubt me......"
"Do you wonder why you're so special? Do you wonder why you got a purebred human career? Wonder why we didn't kill you in the first place? The old man smiled slightly and said, "Because, you were sent by me." Or rather, you're the last human gene I've preserved. ”
"What...... Meaning? Zhong Lan was taken aback. A trace of panic appeared on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and a hint of gloom appeared in her eyes.
"You know what I mean. Zhong Lan. The old man said slowly, "May you be as blue as the sky, this is your father's blessing to you." ”
“……”
"You don't have to stare at me with such hateful eyes, I didn't do anything to you. It's just that maybe you can't imagine that when you wake up, you have been frozen by me for two hundred years. You are the last human gene I left behind, I insist that spiritual power is the future of human development, my insistence is not approved, when everyone insists on accepting the electronic mechanical transformation, I secretly took a baby, that is you. ”
"I secretly extracted your genes, calculated a new future in your mind, and gave you all the memories that you should have survived in the last days, a complete family, and the misfortunes you should have...... In the end, the genes and memories belonging to humans were separated and secretly preserved for hundreds of years. The old man coughed lightly and said, "In the end, I was left with a little girl in the slum, and that was Zhong Lan." ”
"Impossible......" A trance flashed in Zhong Lan's eyes, and she murmured, "My past is not fake!" None of this is a fake for me! I live so desperately, how can the life I want to protect be ...... Given by you?! ”
A fierce look flashed in Zhong Lan's eyes, she stepped forward, grabbed the old man's throat with one hand, and said angrily: "How did you live for a hundred years!" ”
"It's them...... Freeze me...... You don't have to kill me, for I'm going to die......" the old man smiled miserably, and said, "at least until I die, I will see a real human being...... Some people are ignorant, and they can live in the happiness of ignorance, but you carry the glory of infinite possibilities......"
"Liar." Zhong Lan's face was frosty, and she said coldly, "I won't believe a word you say. ”
At this time, the old man had stopped speaking, he gradually lost his breath, and as soon as Zhong Lan let go of his hand, his thin body immediately collapsed to the ground, and the next moment it turned into ashes.
Choose?
Is this the choice of human beings?
Zhong Lan smiled coldly.
So her existence was just a choice? Why create a person with infinite painful memories?
If you do it again......
