Chapter 107: Knowing the Truth
Gathering the starlight on his body and turning it into a faint protective film, Su Shi was able to have a good conversation with the person in front of him, although Su Shi's first feeling of the person in front of him was instinctive disgust, and even had an urge to kill him, but in line with the principle of respecting life, Su Shi still decided to talk to the young man in front of him who looked younger than him first.
"Who are you? Have we met? ”
"Mr. Su, you are really a noble person, I am the one who was responsible for receiving you when you came to Sky City." The young man's face turned into the image of an old man again, and Su Shi realized that the person who looked like a young man in front of him was the old man.
"Old man, you're so old, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you running here to play with hurricanes?"
"Su Shi, are you interested in listening to me tell a story?" The young man raised the core of the energy storm in his hand and placed it in the air, while constantly absorbing energy, and due to the departure of the energy hurricane, the connection between Su Shi and the multiverse was also restored, Su Shi was very surprised, it is said that they should be two people who want you to live and die, but the person in front of him actually took the initiative to give up weakening his own strength to increase the chances of winning, which made Su Shi very puzzled.
"Come on, you have restored the connection with the multiverse, you are already invincible in this encounter, there is no need to warn me so much." Although Su Shi had doubts, he knew that if he stepped forward, it would go against his original intention of wanting to find the truth, in that case, more than half of the thirteen resolutions would no longer be valid, and Su Shi himself would also be subject to a strong backlash, although this is not a very big thing, and now Su Shi can easily suppress this backlash, but this is a troublesome thing after all, it is better to listen to what medicine is sold in this person's gourd.
The young man turned into an old man again, and the wheelchair under him appeared at some point, looking at the pillar of energy that was still accumulating, the old man slowly spoke.
"I am a person who lived through that war, as a member of the United States of Cities (UCA) and the next president of the United States of Cities and Cities, I originally thought that we were strong enough to clear all the obstacles on this earth, but until the war happened, I realized how wrong our thinking and the team I worked so hard to run."
"In order to survive, I had to create a faith, a faith where all the people of UCA could find a place of inner peace. We did so many wrong things in that war, and we were forced to leave the homeland where we had lived for centuries and into this backward and pristine jungle, and all thanks to your father and her father. The old man's face smiled gloomily, his arm was raised with difficulty, and he pointed at Luo Shiqi, who was lying on Su Shi's body.
The old man's mention of Luo Shiqi made Su Shi's vigilance a little higher, and the breath in his body flowed, quietly establishing a connection with another universe, if things changed, Su Shi could temporarily escape to another universe with Luo Shiqi in an instant.
"The army of cloned genetically modified people we worked so hard to create, and your father just took a look at them and brought them all back to their prime, and that is the ultimate weapon we have created with the power of the entire Federation!"
"It's not enough, her father, even more miserable, after our defeat, he actually came over and gave us new technology? What else do you say so that ordinary people can also survive? It's just fake compassion. ”
The old man's smile faded away, replaced by a full of anger.
"If it weren't for the two of them, I would be the one who rules the world now, and now all of humanity should be moving in the direction of greater evolution! If they hadn't resisted and had chosen to join me, I wouldn't have had to count so many things at all. My great vision has been defeated by the two of them! The old man said this as if he was roaring, and Su Shi probably understood something.
"So, are you hating me and Shiqi's father for not losing to you, and then delaying your process of world domination?" Su Shi was speechless for a while, he felt that his three views had been impacted, he was obviously an aggressor, but he said it so well, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
"Shouldn't something be sacrificed for the sake of the future of humanity? If your father, as well as your entire Huaxia Federation, stubbornly resisted and dragged Luo Siqing out of the customs, how could we lose? How can humanity still be in such a hopeless state? ”
In the old man's words, Su Shi couldn't hear any repentance and reflection after he provoked the war, but complained about those who ended the war, and these people who ended the war also secretly coveted the technology that Luo Siqing gave them so that they could stock up after the war.
"So, how did you get the technology that Uncle Luo gave you, logically speaking, it should be impossible for Uncle Luo to give this technology to someone like you again, right?"
When the old man heard Su Shi's words, he just smiled contemptuously, and then said: "All of us in UCA are elite talents who are fighting for the future of mankind, everything about us is transparent, and for us, there are no secrets. “
Yes, Su Shi understood, feeling that the entire country's management had been brainwashed by this person's religion. However, the elites who were able to deceive the Council of 100 had to say that religious brainwashing was really possible.
"So, what does your plan for humanity look like? Why don't humans meet your expectations? ”
It seems that Su Shi took the initiative to ask a question that aroused his interest, or a question similar to this one, which he had said many times when he was trying to win over the followers, and the old man's face was not cold, but as if he had fanatical faith, and his expression was extremely excited and excited.
"Sue, you know what? In the history of mankind, there have been many myths, and the prototypes of these myths are basically the same, do you know why? ”
"According to my years of research, all myths are caused by some supernatural creatures that have appeared in history, and some supernatural phenomena have been seen by the people at that time and passed on by oral tradition, which has gradually formed ancient myths around the world, and time has come to the present, and these powerful gods are still secretly ruling over mankind."
Su Shi was confused by his words. God? He's seen and killed two, although there's a lot of luck. Domination of humanity? Last time, Azathoth's plan to return was shattered by Su Shi, and Urda was also lying in the North Pole harmlessly in humans and animals, Su Shi was puzzled, if there were supernatural creatures in the past, then it should be them, ruling humans or something, these guys should be disdainful.
"And after the war, I finally developed a way to completely make humanity autonomous, which allowed us to completely break away from the hands of the gods who used humans as playthings."
Hearing this, Su Shi has roughly understood that this person is a person who has been brainwashed by his own beliefs, he ignores the objective truth and only uses a small part of the knowledge he sees to reason about the operation of the whole world, for the current Su Shi, the old man in front of him is a poor person, but what he said next touched Su Shi's bottom line, making Su Shi feel like he wanted to kill and then hurry.
"I used the technology that Luo Siqing gave us to shrink human beings, and most of the people in this land were turned into power sources and stored in these pyramids." The old man stood up and turned into the handsome young man again, with his arms outstretched as if he was hugging something, and said proudly to Su Shi.
"You made these people like that?" Su Shi seemed a little incredible, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't him, who would it be?
"It's just a necessary sacrifice for the sake of all mankind, and I didn't kill them, their souls are still there, but as you can see, their souls are attached to the machine, and I took out all their memories and created new memories for each of them, so that they can live happily."
"It's a pity you're going to die here in a moment, otherwise you should really go and see how happy and happy they are when they get their mechanical bodies."
"This happiness is based on false memories, hey!" Su Shi roared frantically in his heart, as if something was about to break through the seal in his heart.
"You must be thinking, how can false happiness be called happiness? But in fact, you are wrong, Su Shi, they, until the moment before they became sacrifices, they were still very happy and happy, if they could be satisfied and happy, what does it matter if it is true or false? There's nothing wrong with immersing yourself in a false world. The old man stood up, changed back to the appearance of the handsome young man, and opened his arms, as if embracing something.
"So, why did the monsters that stood in my way turn back into humans after they died?" Holding back his anger, Su Shi continued to ask.
"They? You also understand, even if you have great and serious ideals, there will always be some desires, and it just so happens that I have gained the ability to transform into shapes, in this case, if you don't do something, how can you be worthy of yourself when you were young? What's more, those mothers and daughters volunteered to serve and dedicate themselves after I identified themselves, and finally used their flesh to kill you, but they also used it to the fullest.
"Finally, there's another question, where did your shapeshifting ability come from? Shouldn't you just be an ordinary human before this? ”
