After the capture of Kapua and the birth of the Jewish leader, Hadu became much more cautious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He found that the Zikon clan had figured out a way to track his predatory abilities, and even if he returned to "Koman'ne", the other party would not dare to attack rashly, but if he was active in the vicinity of Europa, once he used his predatory powers, trouble would soon come to his door.

Most of Hado's ability to stretch was made clear by Zikon, and despite Egger's help, Hadu already felt outnumbered, but he didn't like the boring life of staying in the cave of "Fare" to finish the farming - a visit to Europa had made him feel a lot of advanced things he had never seen before (but he didn't want to learn), he was getting used to this life of wandering, and now that he was suddenly quiet, he was very unaccustomed.

On this day, when he was struggling with how to solve Zikern's countermeasures against him, he was suddenly pulled into the space of consciousness, and lines of words appeared in front of him:

"Warning: Code (40417) detected. ”

"Note: You have gained the following extensions that {post-1900} gives you.

Pathogen Reverse Predation Ability: Enables you to generate the pathogens you need in the target organism, +5000 for Kindness, +21000 for Malice;

Topographic map 3D reverse predation ability: enables you to model the target plan in 3D, so that the plan produces a naked-eye 3D effect (and perspective effect), good value +11000, malicious value +3000;

Aerobic/anaerobic respiration switching ability: enable your body to ensure the work of organs in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, but it should be noted that your physical exertion in the anaerobic state is 100 times that of the aerobic state, and the goodwill value is +7500, and the malicious value is +12500;

Body Stress Protection Ability: Your body can produce stress protection from external injuries, the greater the intensity of external injuries, the stronger your body's protective ability (Note: Do not fall from a height), goodwill value +4200, malicious value +6300;

Ability to indicate high-value wealth: When you see a target with high-value wealth, your eyes will show the value of the wealth they are carrying to you, as well as the relevant ability explanation, goodwill value +10500, malicious value +30000;

Pillage Counter Mark Ability: After you have been plundered by another Marauder, its location will be indicated in front of your eyes, no matter how far away the opponent is from you, and the mark will disappear when the opponent's Raid fails or the opponent dies, +42000 for Goodwill, +23000 for Malice;"

Hadu looked at this large list of "new extended abilities" with great confusion, he could not understand what this "code (40417)" meant, and he did not know why such a thing as "{1900 post-1900}" could happen. Is it his future self that brings him these abilities? Why did this happen, what happened to me at that time? What Hado could think of was the layout that his future self had made in advance in order to prevent him from encountering something difficult to solve on the road ahead. But there is a problem: if you do live to 1900 years later, if you can solve these problems, why do you have to wear these new abilities to your "past self"? And, if he can solve the possibility this time, does he need to pass on these "new abilities" to his "old self" again? ？

Hadu couldn't quite figure out these things, but he didn't need to think about it that much: what his later self brought him would definitely not harm him, and from the explanation of these new abilities, they were all beneficial to himself.

Then came the settlement, counting the time, it seemed that it had not been settled for thousands of years, and Hadu couldn't help but shake his head at this matter, not understanding what the meaning of this kind of settlement was.

"The eighth settlement is underway, please wait. ”

"After settlement, your difficulty and skill levels, as well as the changes in your environment, have not changed. ”

Just when Hado felt that the settlement was extremely boring, the mutant was born.

"Warning: Code (20609) detected. ”

"Warning: Protections against your ability to predate are about to fail. ”

"Warning: Code detected (30202). ”

"Warning: Your space of consciousness has been invaded by homogeneous predators. ”

Hadu suddenly felt a sensation that made his hair stand on end—he turned around and found a man who looked and raised exactly like him, except that he was dressed differently from himself.

The other party saw his surprised appearance but didn't think so, and he didn't want to say hello, so he floated to the place where Hadu placed all kinds of materials. Hadu immediately followed, and the atmosphere was very subtle and mysterious: standing with his "future self". It feels so weird.

"Future Hadu" looked at the various materials that Hadu had collected, then shook his head a little disappointedly, and suddenly said coldly: "You just recovered from the state where your plundering ability was disabled. Without waiting for Hadu to reply, "Future Hado" added: "For a while I was also troubled by the Zikerns, and then I found out that there were traces of their plundering of us, so I worked out a way to mark their traces. ”

There are two words in the phrase "future Hadu" that caught Hado's attention: one is that the title "we" still sounds the same weird, and the other is "Zikon family", according to Hadu's memory, the other party should still be a clan.

Perhaps sensing Hadu's doubts, the "future Hadu" spoke again: "The Zikon clan seized control of the Ostrogothic kingdom in the 5th century AD, and at that time they reorganized and established a family ruling system. Then he raised an eyebrow, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't tell you what will happen in the future, it will affect your future choices." But I have also experienced the visit of my future self during your time, so I know what you will say and what I will answer, and I know what I can say and what I can't say. ”

"Future Hadu" paused for a moment, and then said: "Then, you must ask three questions: 1) What will you encounter in the future, 2) What is the meaning of gaining predatory power, 3) How will you pass the necessary information to your past self when you are at my point." ”

Hadu heard it clearly, but he wanted to ask: Who are you? Of course, he wouldn't really ask this sentence, the identity of the other party is very clear is that he was after 1900, and he went back in time to tell himself something important for some purpose. And Hadu also heard some key points from the other party's words: the conversation between the two Hados is something that has "happened" in history, that is, when Hadu reaches the point in time after 1900, he will also tell his past self what happened.

Seeing Hado's expression of understanding, "Future Hado" continued: "That's right, as you think, the conversation between us has already happened in history. Without further ado, I'll tell you the answers to these three questions. ”

"First of all, I don't know how long I will live after this conversation. But you need to understand that as history progresses, the level of ability of the predators will become worse and worse. The further back you go, the narrower the range you can loot and the more difficult it will be. There are fewer and fewer predators like us who can have extremely long lives and great abilities, and our living space has also been greatly reduced. By my time, I was afraid to run out of the Fa Lie cave, and there were too many weapons that you had never been able to see that could kill you at will.

In the years to come, you still have to be more wary of the Zikon family, I heard that they are going to hunt us down for generations, and you have experienced their abilities, and you know their level. If you want me to say that you should spend more time with your allies and less time when you are alone. ”

The other party's warning made Hadu shudder: with his physique, Jin Tie could hardly hurt his body, but if there was a stronger weapon, then he couldn't imagine it at all. As for Zikern. family, he will definitely avoid encountering each other as much as possible.

"Then there's the practical meaning of predatory ability, which is at the heart of our conversation. The other party blinked, took a deep breath, and then said: "'Wealth plundering' is actually a long-term large-scale social experiment with artificial control. You may not understand what 'society' is, don't worry, you just need to be a 'social experiment'. The idea is that there is a group of people who have selected a particular predatory ability for us, put certain limits on this ability, and then observe the various results of our use of it.

The Egger and Zikon are also part of this experiment, but they are family inheritance experiments, and we are alone in the ability to plunder. According to the analysis of the Iger family, there should be several other different experimental groups, but it is not known exactly what they are experimenting with.

In fact, we are the luckiest: we are the least restricted. I once met a young predator who, every time he plundered, had to complete a variety of extremely difficult tasks, and if he failed to complete these tasks, he would have been punished with fatal punishments - and of course these fatal punishments could have been avoided by his own ability, but in the end he died a terrible death: an entire building had fallen on him, and the building had collapsed due to the collapse of the foundation caused by the seepage of groundwater. To outsiders, it may seem like it was a complete accident, but we all know that it was actually man-made. How they did that, I haven't figured out for years, but I know that our every move is under their watch.

Before I arrived, you should have heard the system beep saying that the protection of the predatory ability was not working, but it was not a protection at all, but a surveillance measure. In the event that this measure fails, I have this conversation with you so that it will not be discovered by those who observe our actions. This doesn't give us extra trouble and allows us to get the help we need. ”

This explanation of "Hadu in the future" can be regarded as a complete subversion of Hadu's worldview: Ha. I'm just an experimental subject, and everything about me is under the supervision of other people. How could this be possible, but it seemed that this was the only way to explain that he was able to survive in that mortal raid, and then be able to sit in the seat of high priest - all the things that could not have happened to ordinary people were fulfilled in him. It's just that it's still too difficult for Hadu to immediately accept the setting of such a worldview: for eight thousand years, he has basically decided that he is the only one, and now someone actually tells him that he is just a small one among thousands of test subjects.

"Hadu of the Future" waited for Hadu to come back to his senses a little before he said the answer to the third question: "You don't have to worry about the ability to transmit to your past self, when you get to 1900, you will meet a very powerful ally who will help you, and he will also tell you how to talk to your past self." ”

Hado knew that his future self was finished speaking, and he should return to his own era. Since it is a way to shield the observer, there must be a time limit, otherwise the other party does not need to finish the whole thing at once in such a hurry, and can leave a little more time to talk to himself about what will happen in the future. Thinking of this, Hadu suddenly laughed in his heart: Heh, he will live until after 1900, if he knew what things would happen after so many years, then he would definitely feel very bored at that time.

As Hadu thought, the "future Hado" is indeed leaving, and of course the way he left is also rather strange: he seems to be opening a door, stepping to the other side of the door, that is, after 1900. Before leaving, he also added one last sentence to Hado: "Remember—Elena is a good girl, don't let her down." ”

This clueless sentence gave Hadu the heaviest blow: he just remembered that after so many years, he didn't have a spouse, he was used to living a single life, and he didn't think about adding a other half. But the other party said so, which means that some of his choices in history have failed this girl named "Elena", and Hado is a little uncomfortable: with his lifespan, the other half can only be with him for less than a hundred years at most, whether it is aging or death, it is not something that Hado can control and counter - that is, he can't prevent the other half from leaving. It may also be because of such a key factor that he has been reluctant to find a marriage partner for so many years.

Hadu stayed in the space of consciousness and savored the things that his future self said, and he didn't know what he was thinking, let alone what changes he would make in the future.

And while the "two" Hado were "talking" in the space of consciousness, the "Wealth Plunder Council" was also "paying close attention" to their every move.

"Note: Code (40417) has appeared in the lab environment. ”

"Oh. . . Did he initiate the homogeneous invasion? The Speaker said with some uncertainty as he looked at the experimental screen.

"It must be him, Speaker, and in our observations, he is the only one who is best suited to initiate a homogeneous invasion. The little councillor answered at this point.

"Well, poor Hado', they thought we wouldn't be able to see it with code (20609) enabled. The speaker sneered and commented: "They are really entangled, they are also our experimental subjects, and they still need to engage in this set to transmit the extension ability." It was clear that they didn't know that gaining these abilities was the fatal factor that would advance his end. ”

Could it be that he didn't tell Hadu about the settlement rules? François proposed: "He regarded the experiment as his own blessing and a toy, and it is not surprising that he did not tell the other party about the settlement, and it is possible that there is a purpose for the additional experiment." ”

The Speaker said with some displeasure: "Do you think it is necessary to have a vote first, record this matter in the Parliamentary Memo, and deal with him later if you are able." But then he added: "But with our power, we can only interfere with those who have the power to plunder, and to guide them to him will surely be tempted by him." Well.. No, forget it, you can't do that. ”

The speaker's self-talk did not receive any feedback from any of the councillors, but a subtle smile flashed from the corner of the councillor's mouth in the seat opposite the speaker, which the others did not notice, but was still captured by the observant little councillor. The latter gave the Speaker a look, and the Speaker immediately felt it and said, "If there is any good way for the members here, I hope to hear it as soon as possible." You all know the risks that this person poses to the experiment, and if we can't deal with it as soon as possible, then no one can be sure how uncontrollable the situation will be in the future. ”

The Speaker's words are a bit sensational. The voice came from the fourth seat of the starting position, and there was a crisp voice of disapproval.

"Councillor Tara, do you have any opinions? The Speaker seemed to have thought of something, and asked unhappily.

"Ha, the Speaker should know that he is not a problem that is new to now, it is said that he has been in the experimental environment for a long time, and several Speakers have not solved it. If you really think he's easy to deal with, then why didn't the previous speakers solve him? Of course, if you're absolutely more capable of dealing with a subject who knows everything about our council in a test setting, I don't have any objection. Councillor Tara looked narrowly at the Speaker, "But until you have thought it through, I wouldn't advise you to make any unnecessary moves. ”

"Unnecessary moves. There was a hint of anger in the Speaker's tone, and he suddenly stood up angrily, "You mean, you have better advice than me, the Speaker, so that you don't need to listen to what I have to say, do you? Okay, I'm listening. ！”
