Gregu's fifth planet, the first moon.

General Control Room.

Hohenheim looked through the glass window at the assembled device in the huge space below, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.

Bradley the Bora was standing beside him, staring at the massive contraption as well.

"Hohenheim, you don't seem to be very happy? Do you have any doubts about the implementation of this plan? ”

"I wondered, can we really make it? According to the organization's research, after the success of the ascension, the supercivilization has become a life form that we cannot understand, and those haze people, have they really succeeded in the ascension? ”

"They are a purely spiritual lifeform, different from all the life we have seen before, isn't this 'life form that we cannot understand'?"

"But they need that cloak to keep themselves alive, and if the cloak breaks, they'll be gone!"

"No, the researchers in the organization think they're back somewhere, and then they're coming out with a new cloak. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how they replenished the lost manpower in the process of conquering one galaxy after another. ”

Hohenheim still couldn't let go, and he was silent for a while before he said, "I still can't agree." After the super-civilization ascension is completed, it should theoretically have become a perfect omnipotent life, and I don't see such a clue in the haze people. ”

"They just don't live up to your expectations, or else, Mr. Hohenheim, can you describe to me what a supercivilization should look like when the ascension is complete?"

Hohenheim was silent.

Bradley the Bora man laughed, "Look, you can't tell, maybe the perfect form after the ascension." It's just a harmless little girl who looks for people everywhere to ask for candy. Absurd though. But it's also a possibility, isn't it? Because no one knows what a perfect life form should look like. You can't prove that the current form of the Haze Man must not be the so-called perfect form. ”

Hohenheim tried to argue: "I just think. After the ascension is completed, the form should be more different from us, there should be a kind of courage and strength that can look down on us, and how does the Haze Man do it? It works with us! Just imagine, would you cooperate with those beings who are a notch below you? ”

"If having a pet is a kind of cooperation, I do ......"

"That's obviously not counting!" Hohenheim interrupted Bradley, "No, if a supercivilization that has truly completed Ascension comes to us, it should indeed feel like a high-level species keeping a pet. ”

No. They seem to prefer to be raised.

"And these smog people cooperate with us and take what we need. How could a supercivilization, a species that has evolved to the next stage, need the help provided? ”

Indeed, they only need food from you, and oh no, the food of the Devourers may not be suitable for the appetites of the super-civilizations, which is a pity.

Hohenheim stopped. Taking a slight breath, he continued: "I'm full of uneasiness about this experiment right now, because I can't guarantee that my fellow citizens won't become like those haze people. ”

"Think about it, if you become a Haze Man, you can use powerful psionic powers. And there is no longer a need for material comforts, and from then on material desires will no longer hinder you from achieving the highest good. Isn't that bad? The Bora people changed their perspective to convince Hohenheim.

Hohenheim shook his head.

"The way of the best, huh. I haven't been to church in years. When I was younger, I really wanted to follow the path of the best, if there were only us swallowers in the entire galaxy. I am afraid that we have already reached the ultimate harmony described by the Way of the Most Good. But there are other races in the galaxy, as long as there is communication with other races. Belief in the highest way of goodness will continue to disappear, so we can only limit communication to the level of the upper institutions. And I, on the other hand, am a member of the upper echelons. ”

"But you still supported the project."

Hohenheim was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Because of supporting this project, I can get a lot of benefits from the organization." Isn't that obvious? ”

"You've taken so many benefits, you have to make the organization feel that the investment is worth it now, and if you refuse to continue the experiment, the organization will destroy you, and your family."

Bradley said unabashedly threatening.

"Of course I do, so I'll keep experimenting."

The pola man sighed: "I thought you were a comrade with whom I shared a dream, but I didn't expect you to be another dirty speculator." Like the other helper many years ago, you all smell of realism. ”

"Say whatever you want."

"Why is it that no one understands the greatness of evolution? We've stayed in this phase of physical life for too long, look at this galactic council, tricking all our races together with a harmonious pie, but tens of thousands of years have passed, we are still standing still, the progress of science and technology is getting slower and slower, a type of spaceship can be produced for thousands of years, and the interval between great scientific discoveries is getting longer and longer, so that from the time I was born to the present, there has not been a great discovery that has really been made by ourselves, Everyone has to make progress by reverse-engineering the excavated antiques of previous civilizations.

"If we continue like this, we will die a slow death, and for this we must take steps forward and go one step further on the evolutionary ladder! Why don't you people understand this? What's even more infuriating is that the top of the organization, which should be all like-minded people, has also been mixed in with opportunistic moths! In the name of the lofty ideals of the organization, they obtain practical benefits and realize their personal ambitions! But this time, the idealists will be victorious, and those of us who have inherited the spirit of the founder of the organization will fulfill his great wish! ”

The Bora opened its arms, and the impression of calm and cunning that it usually gave was gone, and it looked like a simple and crazy child.

"What kind of future this device carries, I thought you could understand, Hohenheim! You've let me down so much right now. ”

"I'm so sorry." Hohenheim said sincerely.

"Hmph, forget it. You've got your job to do, and I don't want to mess everything up like last time with a hairy kid out of nowhere. ”

"Do you mean the experiment that was originally planned to take place in the Arcturus system? I've heard that even if no one comes to disrupt the situation, the experiment itself will not succeed because there is a fatal flaw in theory......"

"There is no problem with theory, it is human beings who have problems. We originally thought that semi-mechanized and highly information-based humans were very suitable targets for experimentation, but we were wrong, because the semi-mechanization of human beings did not unify their values, and the high degree of information did not make their will convergent. Therefore, the experiment was discovered by human authorities in the first stage, and was characterized as a wide-area indiscriminate psychic attack.

"It's foolish that they should treat a great experiment as a terrorist attack. After summing up the experience of Arcturus's failure, we chose you. So far, this choice has been the right one, and the first phase of the experiment has not caused any impact, so the full-fledged trial will definitely go very well. It is likely that you Devourers will be the first race of the Galactic Council to complete Ascension, and this is the benefit that the belief in the Path of the Supreme Good, which has lasted for 10,000 years. In this sense, you should really be grateful to the people of Jiasu. ”

Hohenheim stared at the Bora for a moment before saying, "Did you reveal too much information?" ”

"I do that a lot," Bora said, giving Hohenheim a blank look, "but it doesn't leak here, does it?" The operators here are not allowed to leave or talk to the outside world until the experiment is complete, as you told me. ”

"That's right." Hohenheim nodded.

"So don't worry about leaking secrets before the experiment is successful, after the experiment is successful, hum." The Bora made a gesture to kill them, "And you, I think it would be okay for you to know this, because you're two people tied to the same car as the Order, me, to be exact, and you're not going to do anything that would overturn the car." ”

Hohenheim, of course, nodded in response.

"Also, I know you've been gathering information about Arcturus's experiment, and I know exactly how much you know about that experiment, and what I just said isn't new to you, is it?" Let me tell you something new. The agent who stopped me back then was not actually the miracle maker Lin Zhengyi who humans claimed, it was another human who stopped me back then. There's also a Swallower in his ranks—"

The Bora stared at Hohenheim and did not speak for a long time.

"A Swallower?" Hohenheim frowned suspiciously, "But I've never heard of a single Swallower involved in an operation against the organization. ”

"Of course, because I didn't report it to the organization. I was the only one who had seen the Swallower, and I was so shocked. To this day, I'm still wondering what the hell this is all about. Soon though, the mystery will be revealed, I guess. ”

"What's going on? What happened to that Swallower? ”

"You don't need to know that, I guess the truth will come out when our experiments begin."

Hohenheim frowned: "As a Swallower, I don't like this kind of mysticism, and if you insist on not telling me, I don't plan to force it." But if you can give me more information about that Tun, maybe I can find out who he is......"

"No need, I know who he is." The Bora interrupted Hohenheim, "It's because I know who he is that I'm so confused and surprised." At the same time, I also gave birth to a conjecture. There's one thing you just said, which I actually agree with, which is that the smog people aren't advanced enough -- not advanced enough, well, yes, just not advanced enough. Hohenheim, have you ever thought that a more advanced and perfect life form could be a four-dimensional being? ”
