Chapter Seventy-Four: Ghosts and Beasts
After hearing his words, soon, the voice of the guide rang out: "The application is approved, and the transmission will begin in ten minutes." ”
Shi Ling let out a light breath, then turned off the light, locked the room from the inside, pretended to be asleep, and soon ten minutes passed, Shi Ling turned into a faint white light and disappeared into the room.
When he reappeared, Shi Ling once again appeared in the space where the "Tower of Guidance" stood tall, perhaps because it was night, the white light balls here were not as many as they seemed last time.
On the huge screen, the smiling avatar of the guide appeared, smiling: "Shi Ling, have you thought about what you want to exchange your reward for?" ”
Shi Ling didn't answer and asked, "Guide, let me ask you, do you have any conditions when you choose the participants of the 'Killing Game'?" I remember that I was selected with me, and besides me, there was a woman, at that time, I was qualified, but she was not qualified, on what basis did you judge the qualified and unqualified? ”
The guide didn't seem to expect Shi Ling to ask such a question, and after a pause, he smiled: "According to the degree of brain domain development of your human beings, only when the brain domain development level reaches eight percent, can you be qualified to accept the 'ghost skeleton' and become a 'ghost skeleton evolutionary', and only then can you be worthy of entering this 'guidance tower'." ”
"So, what will happen if the brain domain development level is less than eight percent and the unqualified people are unqualified?"
The "guide" looked at him, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said slowly: "The selected creatures, those who are qualified, will be teleported into here by this power, and those who are not qualified will be transformed into ghosts and beasts because of this power." ”
"Ghost beasts?" Shi Ling's heart was shocked, and he instantly thought of the half-human, half-ape monster he saw that was killed, and thought of Cheng Lin, who had grown scales from a huge scale.
"Will this kind of change make a person become very huge? Or even long scales? ”
"The gigantic you are talking about is one of several high-level mutations in the 'ghost beast', the low-level 'ghost beast' has no intelligence, only instinct, while the high-level 'ghost beast' can maintain wisdom, even the original form, it is also a rather rare species, however, these are not the right path after all, they can only be called ghost beasts."
When the guide said this, Shi Ling was almost completely sure that the woman he saw was more than two meters tall and was the missing Cheng Lin.
In fact, Cheng Lin was the first person to be selected, but unfortunately, she was not suitable and became a "ghost beast", and Shi Ling became the first qualified.
"Cheng Lin has become a 'ghost beast', and the community where she appears is where her family lives...... Could it be that she wants to go home...... And then it was happened by the police, so there were those clashes tonight? So, are the other half-human, half-beast monsters also 'ghost beasts'? ”
Thinking of this, Shi Ling's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Guide, you are constantly selecting the participants of the 'killing game' in various places, and before, you don't know who is qualified, who is qualified, right?" ”
"Yes, including the power of genetic evolutionary information, it must come into contact with you humans, and the brain domain development reaches 8% or more before you can accept the power of this information without abnormality, and then you can be able to enter this space, on the contrary, if the brain domain development level is not accepted, it will inevitably lead to abnormalities in the body, and these abnormal 'ghost beasts' will not be able to enter this space."
Shi Ling gasped: "In this way, you are also randomly selected, the qualified ones will be teleported into this space, and the unqualified ones will all become 'ghost beasts'?" How do you deal with these 'ghost beasts'? ”
"No need to deal with it, let it go."
The guide's words made Shi Ling speechless anymore.
After a while, Shi Ling shouted: "Guide, won't you create a large number of 'ghost beasts' like this?" This...... This will make our human world ...... Honkai. ”
"What about Honkai?" The guide said lightly: "As long as qualified 'evolutionists' can be selected, the society formed by these low-level beings who are not qualified to evolve will be worth it even if it collapses or is destroyed." ”
The words of the guide made Shi Ling tremble deeply, he thought of his father, thought of his relatives, thought of Lin Qing, thought of Yang Tie, thought of a lot of relatives and friends, at this moment, he felt fear, he was not afraid of himself, but afraid of the collapse of the whole world, and the safety of his relatives and friends.
"Shi Ling, don't think too much, the matter is not as serious as you think, according to my estimate, the area I am in charge of, the birth of 'ghost beasts', will not exceed a thousand, the vast majority of them, have been eliminated by the force of your human beings, in a short period of time, the mutated 'ghost beasts' will not affect your ordinary life, so you still have enough time to become stronger, as long as you have strong power, what else do you have to be afraid of? Only with great strength can you protect what you want to protect. ”
The guide seemed to understand what Shi Ling was thinking in her heart, and chuckled slightly, no matter how bloody the words were, when they came out of her mouth, there was a feeling of understatement.
Perhaps for an existence like "her", humans are not much different from ants.
Shi Ling listened to the words of the guide, his hands clenched into fists, and then slowly let go, in the face of the guide and all this in front of him, his own strength is too small, even if he knows these truths, he can't change anything, the only thing that can be changed is to make himself strong enough, strong enough to protect his relatives and friends, but, didn't the "guide" say that he would leave this world after winning the three "killing games"? If he leaves, how will he protect his relatives and friends?
"Guide, what do you mean by an area you are in charge of? Could it be that there are many areas and many guides like you? ”
"Yes, in addition to the general center, there are a total of one hundred such 'guidance towers', we have studied the creatures on your earth, with the highest level of your human evolution, so fifty of them 'guidance towers' are scattered all over the world of your human race, divided into fifty different regions according to the culture and kingdom of your human society, and the other fifty 'guidance towers' are prepared for other living beings, and the right to evolve, regardless of the level of living beings, their rights are the same."
When Shi Ling heard this, his whole body shook violently, on this earth, there are a hundred such "guidance towers"? Fifty of them are scattered around the world to select humans, and the other fifty are used to evolve other creatures? Coupled with those unqualified and mutated "ghost beasts", Shi Ling couldn't feel it shuddering, what would the world be like in the future? Is the prophesied end of the world in 2012 real? And are these "towers of guidance" that bring the apocalyptic disaster to their humanity?
"One Hundred ...... 'Towers of Guidance'...... ...... around the world All kinds of creatures...... This one...... It's crazy......"
