I was curious, but now I don't want to know at all.

Chen Shi couldn't shake his head, he could only say in a resolute tone: "No, I'm not curious. ”

True Shadow: "......"

True Shadow looked at Chen Shi in surprise, probably didn't expect Chen Shi to play his cards uneasily, and he didn't follow his words, so he had to ignore this sentence: "Sure enough, you are very curious, and yes, not only you, but any people from the four countries on the surface who came here would also be curious about what I was doing." ”

I'm not curious! The corners of Chen Shi's mouth twitched.

"Actually, what I'm doing is nothing, it's just an ordinary study."

Makage sighed: "It's a pity that my ordinary research will not be accepted by the public of Shikoku, and can only be carried out in the ruined capital, I have to say, this is a pity." ”

As it spoke, it glanced at Chen Shi, "You can come here, you must have seen the Makuzhi, right?" ”

Shogunate?

Chen Shi was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Do you know the curtain branch? ”

"Of course I know, it's my apprentice."

Shadow smiled.

"It's your apprentice, you—you know it's on the seventh floor?"

Chen Shi noticed something wrong: "Do you know what it's doing?" ”

As for Chen Shi's question, the true shadow had no intention of concealing it, and it nodded very simply: "The research topic of the power of immortality." ”

"You know what it's working on...... It's your apprentice again. ”

Chen Shi took a deep breath, "Those things won't be ...... by you deliberately"

"Ah, that stupid apprentice of mine, who thought the immortal power he had placed in the basement had been accidentally discovered."

True Shadow said in a regretful tone: "Actually, in addition, this apprentice is still very smart, and it also has a unique way of studying the power of immortality, and I also have a lot of inspiration, but unfortunately he died suddenly not long ago, and I knew at that time that something must have happened to the seventh layer." I wanted to go over and see it right away, but I was delayed by other things. Who knows, it's such a coincidence that you are here at this time, and the moment I saw you, I knew that the Makuji must have died at your hands. ”

The more Chen Shi listened, the more chilled he became, when he listened to the explanation of the Makuzhi on the seventh layer before, he always felt that something was wrong, and now it seems that the Makuzhi is simply a puppet, a puppet that has been manipulated.

"It's nerve-wracking, although it always thinks about how to betray me, but no matter what, it's also my apprentice, so I can't let you go easily."

The true shadow continued to approach Chen Shi, the mask on his head was almost close to Chen Shi's forehead, its height was even taller than Chen Shi, and standing in front of him, there was a condescending momentum.

"So, you want to avenge your apprentice? You were the one who had bad intentions towards us in the first place, right? ”

Chen Shi secretly complained, constantly thinking of ways to solve the dilemma, he tried hard to move his body, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, the body below the neck did not obey the command.

Such a situation is unheard of, no matter how dangerous it was before, he still has a chance to escape, even if it is the most terrible "god remains" that time, he can still run. This time it may be the most critical of his life, and he doesn't even have a chance to escape.

"I haven't finished it yet......"

True Shadow changed the topic and did not answer Chen Shi's question, "The study of the shokuji lies in the power of immortality, and the study of the power of immortality is a false proposition, there can be no immortal people and things in this world, and the shokuji has entered the trap of thinking, always thinking that immortality is the perfect state of the immortal power, but where can there be perfect things?" ”

It looked up at the ceiling, as if there was something on it that made it addicted: "Actually, there is no need to be so perfect, the stage of immortality is perfect enough, its research has a partial complementary effect on my subject, but unfortunately, the trap of thinking has made it mentally paranoid, and it is actually experimented on its own body." If you don't kill it, it won't live long. ”

"You ...... Are they all in pursuit of immortality? ”

Chen Shi frowned, the topic of immortality is not only them, even human beings themselves are pursuing, throughout Chinese and foreign history, I don't know how many people have made all kinds of crazy moves in order to be immortal.

However, all ended in failure.

But this is not absolute, here, Chen Shi found various signs that human beings in the 25th century seem to have made a breakthrough in lifespan, not to mention immortality in the nature of a single body, but may obtain immortality in another iterative way.

"The pursuit of immortality is true, but it is not the pursuit of eternal life."

When the True Shadow slowly left Chen, it turned its back and said in a strange tone, "What's so good about eternal life? It will only make you fall into arrogance and laziness towards yourself because of your infinite lifespan, and just thinking about it makes you feel stupidly fat. ”

That tone was full of disdain, a little contradictory to what it was saying.

"I don't understand, what's the difference between immortality and eternal life?"

Chen Shi saw that this true shadow was not in a hurry to disadvantage him, and hurriedly followed it, anyway, he tried to delay the time.

"Stones are also immortal, but what's the point of that?"

True Shadow looked back: "If it was just a stone-like immortality, then I could have done it a long time ago, but it doesn't make any sense, immortality lies in the joy of survival, in the interweaving of emotions, in the fact that you can act at will without restrictions; But it's much easier not to die, you don't need to think about personal emotions, you don't need to think about pain, you don't need to think more, as long as you don't die. ”

Chen Shi was silent for a while, and he said with a little hesitation: "You said so much, I probably understand what you mean, so you don't like eternal life, but you pursue immortality, what is the purpose?" ”

He gradually felt that the real shadow was different from the Makushi, that the Makuji pursued immortality for the sake of himself, and the meaning of the real shadow's words did not seem to be for himself.

"Survival."

True Shadow replied cleanly, and there was an indescribable power in his eyes under the mask: "Survival, the survival of the people of Shikoku." ”

"Shikoku...... Survival? ”

How did this topic suddenly go from not dying to Shikoku? It's like a person talking about his outlook on life and how to make money, and suddenly the topic changes to I make money for the survival of mankind.

It's not your average abruptness.

"The surface of the earth is not as harmonious as you think, the people of the four countries have been facing the encirclement and attack of other intelligent species, in the past hundred years, it seems to be relatively peaceful, but in fact, it is surging secretly, and it has already reached the edge of the cliff."

True Shadow said in an unchanged tone: "The gap between the strength of the four countries and other intelligent species is too big, even if there are many relics to protect, they are still below, if they don't make changes, maybe in more than ten years, the four countries may usher in a crisis of extinction, a crisis that no one can escape." ”

So where is the opportunity for change? I think that the immortal soldier may be an opportunity for change. ”
