Chapter 63: I'm going to kill you over and over again
There are men and women, old and young.
A girl in a school uniform, an office worker in a formal suit, a child of six or seven years old, and an old man with a wrinkled face.
There was no dim yellow glow in their eyes, and they did not walk in unison.
The fast and slow pace looked like people who were waiting for the plane rushed over with their luggage when they boarded the plane.
It's like a walk, and it's very natural to move towards this side.
The only anomaly to talk about...... That's that there are too many people.
The crowd of people, several times and more than ten times the flow of people on the street, outflanked from the left and right sides at the same time in a sparse formation.
"That's a lot of people...... There are a lot of people! β
Lin Yi was a little flustered: "There are hundreds of people...... There are at least four or five hundred people, too many...... It seems that they are all civilians! They're about to surround us! β
"Does it make sense for you to do this?"
Just then, a gruff synthesized voice, like it had been twisted with a voice changer, came from the door in the back of the room.
Before he could come out, Russell and Lingo could realize...... That's a monkey-faced eagle.
The body that came out of there was so rudimentary.
It is completely different from the "Naraku-7" used by the monkey-faced eagle before.
There is neither a delicate countenance, nor a petite and slender body...... It is a doll that is completely naked, with no male or female features, and no hair.
It's more like a discarded costume model than a synth. His body appears to be plastic, his arms and legs are jointed in backward bulboar joint techniques, and he walks with a waddling and heavy gait.
It was like a Greek stone statue, like a three-dimensional facial features carved out of a knife and axe, and it could have been called handsome.
But his closed lips were covered with bright red lipstick, and the sunken spot that was supposed to be an eyeball had been painted with blue paint.
Yes, he didn't even have eyes and a mouth. There were no deep dents in the ears, and the toes of the feet were not separated, but joined together.
That peculiar sense of cheapness made him look rather shabby.
However, the painted eye, in the dim light, made people feel terrified of him.
A monster that resembles a human but not a human.
Pale and smooth figure.
A height of one meter eight. Stiff fingers. There are no eyeballs.
As he walked over to the wreckage of Naraku-7, he bent over very stiffly, block by block. Picked up the pistol.
At that moment, Russell felt a flash of inspiration.
It's all on the right -
This is the monster that killed the "Dust Gap".
And his identity ......
ββ¦β¦ Are you, Dust Gap? β
Russell suddenly asked, looking at the doll that looked like a model in inferior clothing.
He looked up at Russell as if he had heard a voice.
There was no expression on his face β he shouldn't have it in design theory.
"It's me."
He nodded stiffly, and a rough synthesized voice came from his throat: "In the meantime, I'm also a monkey-faced eagle. β
Russell raised an eyebrow and placed his clenched right hand behind him.
He asked rhetorically, "Why, you yourself use your best body to give your own son such a rough body?" β
"It's a doll I made at home."
The "dust gap" did not open his mouth or blink his eyes, stared at Russell and replied calmly: "I lack the relevant technology and equipment. You can't make a more aesthetically pleasing synthetic body. But this kind of body is enough to accommodate me.
In the final analysis, the human mind is nothing more than such a cheap thing. Combined, these ingredients are less than the price of ten catties of beef. It is enough to hold a soul, a thought.
"Even though the body gave me a feeling of discomfort, like I was tied hand and foot in a glass jar. But because of this, I was able to be sure that human consciousness could be accommodated. β
When Dust Gap said this, his tone suddenly changed: "Russell, the life of 'Naraku-7' can be regarded as a relief for you."
"We are our own kind, and we are rivals. Instead of fighting over trivial matters, our fight should be based on higher ideals and show our ideological conflict.
"You should know that there is no point in killing my 'individual'. Because I can't kill them all.
"Most of the 'people' on the outside are individuals who have been manipulated and hinted at by me. I have not yet taken away their will, I have not merged with them. So they're not 'me' yet. Not to mention, there are ordinary people who have been coerced in this. If you go on a killing spree...... I don't care, it's a big deal if I let the 'me' in their minds self-destruct - I'm not going to let you get any proof.
"What are you going to do when they are closed? Kill all of my clones in order to kill them? β
"Dust Gap" asked in a low voice in the tone of a monkey-faced eagle, "It's appropriate here, you can use the sentence we mentioned earlier."
"That's the question my son asked me back then...... I'm right here to ask you again:
"'Is it OK to kill to save someone?' I've given my answer, how will you respond? β
ββ¦β¦ Scold. β
Russell shook his head and sneered softly, "I don't have a son like you. β
"Funny jokes based on ethics - your inferior aesthetics, is that the answer you give?" Dust Cress replied indifferently and rationally.
"It's unfortunate. The answer I gave you is similar to yours but not quite the same......"
Russell took a deep breath.
It's as if this breath is the wind blowing in the furnace.
Deep in his dim yellow hole, a dark red fire surged up.
"I save people because I'm happy, and I kill people only because I'm happy β yes, I agree with that.
"But I don't want to destroy the world. Because I still have people in this world who care...... Even if it's just for them, I'm going to protect other people I don't actually care about...... Just because I can do it. Just because I want to.
"We are the same kind of people, all rotten people who put ourselves above others. But I'm different from people like you who have been outcast from the world......"
A dark red flame erupted from Russell's body.
It engulfed Russell in the blink of an eye, hovering over the blade of the saint's decapitation behind Russell, and igniting a dark red fire.
"I'm lucky. I was loved. So of course, I choose to give back this loveβjust as you choose to give back this hatred to the world.
"You're going to be a savior? You don't deserve ...... You only have the freedom to destroy the world or not. β
"I'm certainly not a savior. But why do I have to choose from the options you give? Kill your undescended clones and innocents in advance, or be beaten by them and not fight backβmy answer is, I won't choose either way! Whoever dares to stop me, I will kill him! Not because they could be you, but because they're standing across from me! β
The sharp blade hanging behind him pierced the "dust gap" like a fire meteor!
The next moment, Russell raised his left hand.
From his palm, a surging black fire erupted, like an invisible giant hand, covering those synths!
"You say, there's no point in killing you?
"You're wrong! Now, killing you is the meaning to me! β
Russell, surrounded by black flames, said in a deep voice, his voices gradually overlapping and echoing: "I'm going to kill you again, and again."
"I'm going to hunt you down to the edge of the skyβI'm going to kill you to the end of time.
"I'm going to kill all such filthy beings.
"None of them will be left!"
