Chapter 374: Persistence (Medium)
"A more important task?"
Suppressing her worries about Asuka, Mai looked at Seijin, obviously not understanding the meaning of his words.
"There's a lot of people out there, and we have to find a way to give them to... Transfer out. ”
I wanted to say 'save' out, but when I think about the people who are still staying in this 'ideal country' at the moment, maybe what they are doing is contrary to their original intentions...
Shaking off these troublesome thoughts, the stars turned their attention to Kirino Makio, who had been silent since he told the full story of Operation Dawn.
Among the people present, he was the only one who knew the most about 'Asmantis' and the situation in this mysterious space.
Hirai Heiji may also know something, but neither mentally nor mentally and mentally can not allow him to do more.
As if noticing Zhuxingzhen's gaze, Kirino Mufu nodded calmly and began to tell the information he had gathered during this time.
"Through my personal experience of this space these days, it is certain that there is indeed a ability to communicate spiritually without barriers between the 'Asmantis' race."
Kirino pushed his glasses, which seemed to have become a habit for him to concentrate.
"Through this special ability to communicate, they are able to transcend intra-ethnic strife and reach a unique system of racial integration."
"Under this system, there is no distinction between 'Asmantis' and 'Asmantis'. As long as they are clansmen, they can put everything together without thinking about whether it is worth it or not; It is also possible to sacrifice one's fellow citizens at any cost in order to preserve the race, as evidenced by the illusions in the crystals just now. ”
Kirino Makio pointed to the crystals not far away that shimmered with a little starlight, each of which represented a life 'burning'.
"They can create countless independent spaces through these crystals, and the size of the space depends on the strength of the brain waves, and the ones who construct the scenes that people imagine are those 'Asmantis'."
"Since it's a world they've built based on human thoughts, does that mean they're able to peek into all human thoughts?" Mai couldn't help but interject while listening to what Kirino Mufu was saying, while supporting the frail Guangrai.
"That's for sure." Kirino Mufu nodded, "They are supplied through human brain waves, and through this 'supply', they also get the things that human beings pursue in their hearts, and finally use this ability to establish the illusion that they are 'omniscient and omnipotent'." Saying that, he glanced at the Xingzhen who was listening to the side and the languishing Hirai Heiji, and Kirino Mufu added, "But this kind of 'omniscient omnipotence' is only one-sided, at least it can't accurately read everyone's thoughts." ”
Mai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, being peeped at in her heart was such a thing, just thinking about it made people uncomfortable.
"Then why do they sacrifice their fellow citizens to preserve their race?" Zhu Xingzhen was puzzled, "This seems to conflict with what you said about protecting the clansmen. ”
"It's not a conflict."
Kirino Mufu explained to Zhu Xingzhen very seriously.
"Although 'Asmantis' can easily obtain people's inner thoughts by absorbing brain waves, you also know that human beings are very emotional beings, and it is impossible to collect human brain waves on a large scale to strengthen themselves without paying a certain price."
"At the cost of the lives of their fellow citizens?" Zhu Xingzhen frowned, thoughtful in his heart.
"That's right." Kirino Mufu nodded again, as if affirming Zhu Xingzhen's thoughts, "If you want to get more brain waves from humans, you must satisfy their heart's desire, so the 'ideal country' is on the agenda, but to build this fantasy world, you must first sacrifice a certain amount of 'Asmantis' to create it." ”
"How so..."
Mai covered her mouth, a little hard to imagine the situation of the 'Asmontis' race in terms of survival.
"It's all worth it." Unexpectedly, Kirino Mufu expressed considerable appreciation for this behavior, "The world created by the sacrificed compatriots can collect human brain waves on a large scale, so that the entire race can get the conditions for survival, and the new clan can be born smoothly." ”
"And then continue to sacrifice the people and continue to survive the race through an infinite cycle?" Zhuxing really began to appreciate the horror of this race.
Not terrible in power, but in thought.
"Sacrifice is for a better new life." Kirino Makio said to the stars with great meaning, "It may seem to us that the behavior of 'Asmantis' is incomprehensible, but in fact, during this time, the new people of 'Asmantis' far exceeded the sacrificed people, and this may be the way of survival that their race has perfected after countless thoughts. ”
"So what can we do now to get those people out?" Rubbing his eyebrows, Zhu Xingzhen digested this information in his mind, and finally asked the point of their stay here.
"There's no way."
Kirino Makio shrugged, Mai's face turned unpleasant with his answer.
"These people stay here, not the shackles of 'Asmantis', but their own decisions, and for 'Asmantis' who have no sense of strife, they come and go freely in a sense."
"That is, as long as they are unwilling to leave, there is simply no way for us to forcibly transfer them out?"
At this moment, Zhu Xingzhen's face became bad.
"That's right." On the contrary, Kirino Mukio's expression remained the same. "So I suggest it's better to give up these people, so that the Gondo staff officer outside may be more relaxed."
"No, maybe there's a way..."
Just as Mai was about to open her mouth to refute, Guanglai, who was supported by her, slowly opened her eyes, but this action seemed to use up all his strength, but he still insisted.
"I've spent almost most of my time here during this time... I can vaguely feel that people here are actually able to communicate with each other... Although most of the time they isolate their fantasy world from the outside world, I have tried to connect my fantasy world with the fantasy world of others, and I have succeeded a few times..."
After hearing this, Zhuxing really turned his attention to Kirino Mufu again.
Something that Guang Lai can feel, there is no reason why this mysterious superpowered person should not know.
So far, the stars really can't figure out what the upper limit of the superpower of Kirino Mufu is, let alone figure out what kind of incredible ability he has with his superpower.
"Indeed, you have the right idea." In the face of the star's real scrutiny, Kirino Mufu behaved very relaxed and natural, "As I said earlier, 'Asmantis' has the ability to communicate without barriers, and the 'world' built by them naturally has this ability, but..."
"Just what?" Mai hurriedly asked.
"Communication can only be established between each other, and it is difficult to achieve communication unilaterally." Kirino Mufu looked at the crystal cluster again, "See?" Everyone in the fantasy world has closed their hearts, can you still communicate with them in this situation? ”
Hearing this, the stars looked at the crystal group, and almost everywhere they could see was obscured by a layer of mist.
Although the fog is thin, it seems to be blown away with a gentle blow, but now it has become the biggest gap between them and those who indulge in their own fantasies.
Even the simplest and most direct language communication between people in the past has become delusional under the cover of this mist...
"Can you create bridges of communication?"
As if thinking of something, Zhuxingzhen suddenly turned his head and stared at Kirino Mufu.
"Yes."
Kirino Mufu nodded calmly.
"But so what, one-sided communication is meaningless."
“......”
The stars are really speechless, how easy is it to unilaterally use words to persuade strangers who have never met and are addicted to fantasy?
But after all, you have to try.
"Can you... Let me try..."
Unexpectedly, before Zhu Xingzhen could speak, a weak voice came into his ears.
It is Guanglai Pingji.
At this moment, Guanglai, in addition to his withered face and sluggish spirit, his eyes still remain peaceful.
Neither like Kirino Mufu's indifference, nor Mai's panic, nor the real anxiety of the stars.
Yes, only the calm after the vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, not only the stars were true, but even the always plain Kirino Mufu also showed a surprised expression.
He had thought that it would be Ultraman's Stars or Asuka to awaken people's hearts.
never thought that the first person to stand up would be Guang Lai, an inconspicuous human being.
Facing Hirori's calm but unyielding gaze, seeing that Zhuxingzhen didn't seem to have the idea of replacing him, Kirino Mufu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
It can be regarded as agreeing to Guang Lai's request.
Only Mai, who guessed through dialogue that Muio Kirino had superpowers, was still in shock...
......
Facing Dinah's determined figure, the six long-accumulated light bullets did not shoot out after all, and slowly dissipated in the hands of the three mirror puppets.
Perhaps through communication with his companions, he learned that Dinah had sacrificed his life to protect it, so the three mirror puppets who arrived did not attack Dinah, but only ignited light from their bodies to help their fallen companions speed up the repair process.
Seeing this, Dinah slowly calmed down her tense nerves, and as long as she delayed enough time, she might be able to rescue the people who were still in the mirror puppet.
Even Dinah himself didn't understand why he trusted the stars who were still in the mysterious space.
Perhaps, it was because of the past actions of his seemingly unreliable lazy boss; Maybe... It's just because he's a companion who is recognized by himself.
The frequency of the red light flashing in his chest was getting more and more urgent, and he didn't have much time left...
But at the very least, the war between humanity and Asmontis must be stopped.
Perhaps, the two sides can really find a solution through methods other than fighting.
Having experienced the 'ideal country' firsthand, he also knows better where the attraction of this ability to human beings comes from.
Perhaps, this is not an existence that must be eliminated...
Even though I followed my own will and moved forward, I persevered.
However, Asuka's confusion did not disappear.
'Boom-'
A loud and dull roar ruthlessly interrupted his fantasies.
But in this tense atmosphere, a soldier who could not restrain his inner fear opened fire.
The firepower of the Marine Tank wasn't particularly effective for the Mirror Puppets, but it certainly gave them a signal.
A signal to go to war.
Ignoring Dinah, who was still in front of him, the mirrored puppet that was hit floated in the low altitude turned to the direction of the attack, and the condensed light bullet in his hand was launched without even being compressed, and the attacking tank exploded in response, triggering the nerves of all the soldiers.
"Launch!!"
Almost roaring, several commanders ordered their subordinates, and in response to them was countless roaring artillery fire!
Right under Dinah's nose, the battle between humans and mirror puppets is still inevitable....
