It's like a bolt from the blue!

Ziliang, Harry. Quinn, and even old Joey's worldview, which was shaken by these words, was shaken.

Could it be that the X Academy, which we come to every year, is not a classroom of joy and growth at all, but a slaughterhouse?

Are the playgrounds, lawns, and sunlight outside the windows actually decorations on the surface of the slaughterhouse?

Ziliang endured the shock: "Could it be that Shirley is dead?" ”

Professor Wagner didn't speak, just quietly lowered his head slightly.

"Hehe, how is it possible, you are lying to us, right?" Harry. Quinn smiled reluctantly and said, "How can you kill a person just because he has the possibility of being a potential level 5 mutant?" That's just a possibility."

Professor Wagner nodded: "Yes, it's just a possibility, but the consequences of this possibility are beyond the reach of all of us combined."

"But," Quinn seemed to be about to say something.

"No, but!" Professor Wagner interrupted her suddenly: "Whatever you want to say, it makes no sense, because you haven't experienced that big war, so you don't know how terrifying a fifth-level mutant is."

I saw a fifth-level mutant with my own eyes, just standing there quietly and doing nothing, everything around me began to decompose, turning into dust, and then the dust was broken down again into tiny particles that could not even be seen by the naked eye A fifth-level mutant is enough to decompose the entire earth into slag, what if such an existence exists, what about two? Or three? They don't care about the life or death of human beings at all, and they don't even need human beings in their consciousness at all, what they destroy is that this world will let one person die, or let tens of millions of people die, what will you choose? ”

"I don't know, I've never seen that kind of picture." Old Joy suddenly interjected angrily: "Killing a person to save a lot of people sounds like a good deal, but Shirley is my friend, it feels very bad, I don't know if you can understand it." ”

"Of course I can, the man I call the world is also my friend," Professor Wagner said lightly.

"Not only that, but the person who killed her was also my friend, and the person she killed was also my friend. And this situation, in those wars, is a choice that almost everyone has to face.

You have all studied Professor McCoy's "Introduction to the History of Mutants", the history of mankind is actually spent in constant wars, we kill each other, and then we are tired, and then mourn for each other, but when the war starts again, those who mourn will be called more ferocious than anyone else, this is nature In fact, it was not until the enactment of Act X that human beings finally had no more wars, so we can't make any exceptions, even if those people are our friends, parents, teachers, Benefactor, that's what we're going to bear. ”

There was silence, people opened their mouths slightly, but they were all speechless, a few minutes ago, it was an incomparably wonderful term, and in this second, it seemed to have turned into a demon that you couldn't even refute.

"Actually, we can all think about the good thing, in fact, Shirley is not dead," Professor Wagner said suddenly, "or rather, she is alive in another way." ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked

"Professor Charles thought a lot about Bill X when he created it, and this proposal was indeed cruel, it was inevitable, but it also minimized this cruelty." Wagner said, still looking at Ziliang: "Do you know why no one except you noticed Shirley's strangeness?" ”

"Because everyone else's memories have been tampered with!" Ziliang replied.

Wagner nodded: "Yes, but that's only one aspect, and there's a more important point, Shirley. All of Birkin's memories have been completely implanted into the current 'Shirley. In other words, the little girl in front of you, except for her looks, everything about her is exactly the same as Shirley Birkin, and even she herself will think that she is the real Shirley, so what is the difference between her and the original Shirley? ”

This passage is very mouthful, but Professor Wagner said it very clearly, and it is clear that he has recalled this kind of words in his mind countless times, and he has even told many people about it

Ziliang frowned, this successive facts have completely plunged him into a state close to dementia Yes, if it is really like what the other party said, all memories have been transferred, then it is also a new skin, then, is Shirley still dead?

Suddenly, Zihao thought of another question.

"No, since Shirley's memory has been transferred to the current body, where did this body come from?"

"Vegetative." Professor Wagner's few simple words dispelled Ziliang's doubts: "Bill X is much more complete than you think, although the number of human beings in the post-war world has been extremely scarce, but every city will add a few or even more than ten vegetative people every year, that is, those whose hearts are still beating, but the brain waves have calmed down like stagnant water, everyone who is predicted to have the possibility of becoming a level 5 mutant will choose a suitable body among these vegetative people, and then become a new memory carrier, so, It can not only eliminate the security risks that threaten humanity, but also bring the original 'dead people' back to life, which is the most perfect solution we can think of. ”

Ziliang shook his head, although from a rational point of view, this approach is indeed the most perfect, but his psychology is still struggling as if he is not giving up, and even becoming more and more panicked, as if a voice is constantly telling himself that this is not all, this is also a lie.

Therefore, he rubbed his head vigorously: "Then how can you guarantee that there will be no problems with the bearer of this memory, and you are not those who have been injected with memories, what if they don't match each other, what if something goes wrong, such as hallucinating, or simply going crazy?" This may be nothing more than wishful thinking on your part. Ziliang asked.

Professor Wagner smiled helplessly: "Yes, there are indeed some differences between different bodies, but now, it seems that no one except you is experiencing any discomfort."

He said quietly, and then, walking to the wall, took out a copy from the stack of documents, and handed it to Ziliang8)
