In fact, there is a paradox in the Observer Regulations.

That is, "the observer must not interfere with the normal course of the world" and "the observer may implement certain means to assist when necessary", these two are actually mutually exclusive regulations, and such an obvious mutual exclusion cannot be a bug, because this regulation has existed in the centaur civilization for more than 1,400 years, and the sages of the past have followed it, and it is impossible that no one has found such an obvious loophole.

But it was never restored, and that's because there was a story to it.

First of all, the person who can be selected as an observer must have three very outstanding qualities. First: have a personal moral advantage. Second, it has the advantage of civilization and morality. Third: have a relatively complete orderly and kind personality.

So suppose an observer discovers that a certain civilization has a plague or virus that is spreading enough to destroy its civilization during an observation mission, and he should not come to the rescue, which has caused a discussion for three hundred years, but has never been discussed.

Because according to the provisions of the regulations that do not interfere with the process of civilization, if you rescue it, it is equivalent to the intervention of external forces in the development of civilization, which will cause the civilization of a planet or a world to change essentially, which is strictly forbidden.

If they are not rescued, observers with high moral standards and high levels of kindness will have strong negative emotions and stress trauma syndrome, and there will be serious deviations in the exploration and scoring of the future, and even the score will affect the comprehensive evaluation of other civilizations.

Explorers and observers cannot theoretically be replaced by machines and artificial intelligence, because artificial intelligence cannot empathize to some extent, so it cannot give comprehensive evaluation scores in many aspects.

However, if the observer's mental health is problematic, if for some reason it is not identified, it is likely to lead to the destruction of other civilizations.

As a result, the people of the two camps quarreled for hundreds of years, and in the end no one could convince anyone, and finally these two mutually exclusive treaties appeared.

Suppose that the observer discovers a plague in the civilization of the executed person while performing his mission, he can use gentle means to deal with it, "as much as possible" and not "excessively" interfere with the progress of civilization.

This is why in the history of many civilized planets, there will be that kind of sudden appearance of gods and doctors, in addition to proposing solutions that are in line with the times, they should have been crowned marquis and worshipped but they quietly disappeared into the long river of history, and even their names have not been handed down.

This is the reason why the advanced civilization is advanced, that is, altruism suppresses egoism to a certain extent, and when altruism on the premise of no longer lacking resources becomes the main theme of civilization, this civilization can be called a high civilization.

For example, the earth civilization of the zero universe is a quasi-high-level civilization among low-level civilizations, because the altruism and self-interest of this civilization have reached the point of five or five, and one more level can enter the ranks of high-level civilizations.

And Gu Tao is now encountering such a situation, when they walked into the territory of Luzhou, they found that many villages around are concentrated a large number of displaced people, according to the normal situation, the appearance of displaced people generally appears after drought, floods, locust plagues, but now obviously there are no such disasters, then Gu Tao does not need to ask, then it must be the spread of infectious diseases.

"Put it on."

He handed Bi Qing a high-filter mask, and then a pair of rubber gloves: "Don't take off the mask gloves." ”

"Master, what is this? What is it for? ”

"Do you see the village in front of you?"

There are still about one hundred and twenty miles away from Luzhou Prefecture, but it is already the boundary of Luzhou, and Luzhou should be regarded as a large region and a prosperous place according to the current time. But now it seems...... It should be that there has been a sudden outbreak of acute infectious diseases in the past few days.

Gu Tao took Bi Qing into the village, and found that almost every house had flags hanging at the door, and there were many corpses on the side of the road that could not be disposed of under the eaves covered with straw mats, and the cry came faintly, the doors of the houses were closed, wild dogs were foraging everywhere, and the streets were desolate and gloomy.

"Master......"

When Bi Qing saw this scene, she trembled and grabbed the corner of Gu Tao's clothes, she was not afraid of living people, but in the end, she was a little girl born in the era of peace, and suddenly saw so many corpses with distorted faces, it was impossible to say that she was not afraid, her only reliance now was the calm face of the master in front of her, so she grabbed the corner of the master's clothes as much as possible.

"Remember the three 'no's' principle: don't touch, don't drink raw water, and don't eat cold food." Gu Tao carefully advised: "Don't be curious. ”

Who's going to be curious! These are dead people!

But before Bi Qing could recover from it, he saw that Gu Tao must have squatted in front of a corpse, lifted the straw mat covered on it, and actually began to identify it.

"Master...... You ......"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Of course, Gu Tao is fine, he has already done experiments with himself, his cells and DNA are almost undisturbed by any external factors, except for the ineffectiveness of toxins, even those terrible viruses and bacteria cannot cause any harm to him. Of course. Not only is it impossible to infringe, but it is also impossible to strengthen, and the special protein on the cultivator's body is ineffective against him.

"You're standing by."

"Hmm...... Master, be careful. ”

Gu Tao nodded, squatted in front of the corpse and examined it carefully, he found that the corpse had obvious symptoms such as rash, subcutaneous hemorrhage, lymphoma, etc., and yellow-brown pus also flowed out of the ears, and there was obvious gangrene tissue in the lower body.

He got up with a frown, then tilted his head in thought for a moment.

"Master...... What's wrong? What's going on? ”

"Stay away from me, away from the corpse." Gu Tao raised his hand to stop Bi Qing from stepping forward: "Typhus." ”

Typhus, although this thing is not as terrible as the Black Death, it was actually a highly contagious plague that killed millions of people back then, even in modern times after the "October Revolution", which killed almost three million people.

In the plague, it can probably be ranked fourth or fifth.

Typhus fever mainly occurs in spring and summer, and it is not as fast as the Black Death from the incubation period to the onset period, but it is easy to be misdiagnosed as common typhoid fever in the early stage and delay the treatment time.

Like many plagues, its cause is spread by small insects such as fleas, and it is a polar infectious disease with a very high degree of contagion.

Gu Tao took out the disinfectant he carried with him from his pocket and sprayed it on his hands, then sprayed Bi Qing's head and face, and then turned his head to look at the place where there were still voices not far away: "The epidemic has been happening for about a month, otherwise it would not have caused such a large-scale infection, it seems that ...... There's a group of people who are going to lose their heads. ”

After speaking, he beckoned: "Speed up your pace and hurry up to Luzhou Mansion." ”

"Then Master...... Is it okay here? ”

"Do you have a way?"

"No ......"

"Then I don't have either." Gu Tao spread his hands: "Once the plague begins to spread, it is not something that a few pills and a few people can control. Go to your local parent officer. ”

Along the way, Bi Qing no longer had the usual cheerful appearance, the more he walked inside, the more serious the situation became, and there was no one left in some villages, and the corpses were piled up in a mess, which was shocking to see.

And Gu Tao didn't think there was any problem at all, because according to the spread speed of the plague, the more it is to the center now, the more terrible it is, and fortunately, the population mobility in this era is not so large, and it seems that the officials of Luzhou Mansion know these things, and they are also trying to solve it, but they are obviously not trying to find a way to solve the plague, they are thinking of a way to solve people.

The mountain road that Gu Tao and they have been walking on before, this kind of road is not a normal person can walk, and when they approached the official road, they found that this place has three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, although everything seems normal, but this is obviously abnormal, because there is no epidemic in the villages near the official road, but it is a remote place, and it is very tragic.

"They're controlling the movement of people." Gu Tao laughed: "It seems that I already knew." ”

"It's disgusting!" Bi Qing said viciously: "How can they do this! ”

"What else would they do?" Gu Tao asked rhetorically: "This year is the first year that your little emperor has succeeded to the throne, and this month is only less than four months, if it really comes out that there is a large-scale plague, what do the people in the world think of him?" Is it not right for him to come to the throne? Is it that the number of Great Song Qi has been exhausted? Which is more important than the plague or the country? At least if I were the emperor, then I would also feel that the national capital was more important. ”

"But so many people ......"

"People can be reborn." Gu Tao said with a smile: "But I don't think your little emperor knows about it." ”

"Huh? That faint king! I'm going to kick his ass when I go back! ”

Gu Tao didn't beep again, just quickened his pace, carried his bag, and went all the way to Luzhou Mansion along the official road.

The two arrived at the city of Luzhou in the evening, and the gate that should not have been closed at this moment was closed, and there were heavy guards around it, and everyone who passed by needed to be carefully checked, Gu Tao and they were naturally no exception.

It's just that during the check, his fake identity was very realistic, plus he had money, and he threw money all the way, and the two of them entered the city smoothly. And it is not the same as imagined, the city of Luzhou can now be said to be sluggish, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, all with their heads bowed, and a team of soldiers patrolling from time to time.

"I remember, the Luzhou Shouchen is my father's old department, I'll take you to find him!"

"Then you'll just come back to Lin'an, okay?"

"Huh?" Bi Qing shrank his neck: "No, no, it's just the master's arrangement." ”

"Why don't you want to go back? Sleeping outside, you are a girl's house, and you are a big man with me, you are not ashamed. ”

"Master, Master, for Master and Father, follow Master to the world, who can say anything."

Gu Tao chuckled, carried the bag all the way to the Thorn Mansion, and then slammed the door without saying a word. After a while, a person who looked like a family member poked his head out, glanced at Gu Tao, and said impatiently, "Who?" Knock what knock? Is this a door you can knock on casually? ”

Bi Qing's eyes glared: "You ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was pushed back by Gu Tao's head, and Gu Tao didn't talk nonsense: "Please go and report it, just say that if you don't curb the plague, I'm afraid that Luzhou Thorn Shi will die." ”

The family was stunned for a moment, after all, what Gu Tao said was too straightforward, so disrespectful, to be honest...... It's okay to make him disrespectful and kill him, but now this matter is also very important, he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to report it with a strange face, and let Gu Tao wait at the door.

"Master, you are really polite to speak, he doesn't know where you came from, I'm afraid he will be scared to death by you, and if this thorn doesn't open his eyes and treats you with a big disrespect or something, then it will be troublesome."

Gu Tao smiled and said nothing, curing the sin of an observer, that is a real. Anyway, look at his attitude, he has a good attitude and gives a move, and if his attitude is not good, he will come over tomorrow in an expedited manner in the capital for eight hundred miles.

Soon, the same family came out, he looked Gu Tao up and down, and then whispered, "Your Excellency, please." ”

Gu Tao smiled, pinched some broken silver and put it in his hand: "It's hard for you when you report." ”

Yo...... This scholar is worthy of Lao Tzu who just gave him a round talk, he can be a man, not bad!

Seeing this arrogant scholar enter, the family sighed. The heart said that this scholar is good, and if someone else dares to speak like that, I'm afraid that he will be beaten to death by the board.

And Gu Tao was guided by the maid, and soon came to the side hall, and soon a man with a sallow face and a haggard face walked out, he looked extraordinary, but he always felt like he was going to die.

When Gu Tao saw him come out, he arched his hand, and he just nodded slightly, and then sat down in the middle seat: "What did you say about the plague?" ”

"I came from Lin'an Mansion to study, and I saw many homeless people along the way, and many villages were empty, so I guess Lord Thorn Shi already knows about it, right?"

Thorn Shi frowned, from Lin'an Mansion?

"Don't be busy killing people, adults." Gu Tao smiled and waved his hand, and then pointed to the maid not far away: "How about a cup of tea?" ”

was poked and the stabbing Shi frowned even tighter, but his face still pretended to be calm: "My lord should be a cronie of the official family, for the sake of the official family's name, I will hide it with my own strength, am I right?" ”

Thorn Shi didn't speak, but at this moment he was really moved to kill.

"Don't panic, sir." Gu Tao pointed to Bi Qing behind him: "Do you recognize this little girl?" ”

Bi Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled Gu Tao's clothes, but Gu Tao didn't care about her at all, just continued: "The queen of the future official family, you have to weigh your own weight when you kill your mouth. ”

Thorn Shi was stunned, looked around carefully, and found that it was really Bi Qing, and he stood up with a loud voice: "Miss......"

"Uncle Cao......" Bi Qing lowered his head: "It's my ......"

"You, you...... Why did you come here, ouch......" Thorn Shi was so anxious that he said: "How can I explain this to the general......"

And oh...... Is this "and" your nightmare? Hahaha, but it's not too late this time, it feels good these days, and it should be written quickly.
