Chapter 296: Mom is about to wake up
"It's finally back......
Wei Wei took Ye Feifei and walked out of the deep space, and under his feet was a long blood-colored road, like a scarlet carpet, extending to a mysterious and unknown place.
When Wei Wei took the first step out of the deep space, this scarlet road was gradually fading, and the whispering like a shallow singing was like a human ear being released from the surface, like a dream.
Ye Feifei was so excited that he opened his eyes suddenly, and he saw the familiar streets of Scrap Iron City.
It was hard for her to imagine this kind of experience, obviously not long ago, she was still in the Ye Manor of the Second City Defense Line, obviously still experiencing that nightmare-like experience, but soon, Wei Wei arrived, so she was pulled from the deepest nightmare, followed him into this strange space, and when the real perception returned to the body, she found that she had come to the scrap iron city thousands of miles away.
All kinds of unreal experiences made her wonder if she was still in a dream.
It's just that she subconsciously turned her head and looked at Wei Wei, looking at his slightly furrowed brows and the corners of his mouth tightened, she felt that this was not very important. It seems that staying by his side makes him feel safe enough, and even the weird experience just now is nothing.
"It's okay, it's not going to happen again."
Wei Wei said to Ye Feifei with a smile, and then the two of them walked forward side by side, and soon they had already returned to the front of the Scrap Iron City Security Base.
"Captain, we ......"
Ye Fei flew to the gate of the base, and subconsciously wanted to tell the captain that he was back.
It's just that she was only halfway through the shouting, and then she suddenly stopped, and she had a bad premonition, which made her feel a little worried. It was so quiet in the base.
Although it is a bit late now, the lights are usually on in the base, and Uncle Gun and Captain Ouyang are both people who like to stay up late, and Brother Pig likes to eat supper, so the impression in the base is that no matter what time it is, as long as you come over, there will definitely be lights on, but when they come back this time, they see that there is no light in the yard, and they can't hear the sound of anyone talking.
Even the straddle motorcycle that Captain Ouyang usually parked by the door was gone at this time.
With a sigh in their hearts, Ye Feifei and Wei Wei walked into the base quickly, and after looking around, they were a little disappointed. The entire base was empty, and Captain Ouyang was no longer here.
And the base became empty, and their mood was also a little empty, like a child who had experienced the wind and rain outside came home, but there was no one at home.
"Captain, where have they gone?"
Ye Feifei still muttered subconsciously, pushed the door and walked into Captain Ouyang's unlocked office. "Do you have a temporary assignment?"
「......」
Wei Wei didn't follow her in, but sat down next to the billiard table, and saw that the billiards that were usually scattered had already been taken back into the box.
It looked like the people in the yard were preparing to go out of the house. He seemed to have a premonition of this scene.
This personal action, in fact, in many ways, is in line with my expectations.
The Foundation's task of investigating the reactions of the members of the Wandering Church has now received an intuitive and precise answer, and the report is particularly easy to write.
The wandering church is gone.
The wandering church is gone, so naturally there will be no more reactions or anything like that, and there is no need to even investigate the reactions of believers, because the sacred realm is also gone along with the wandering church.
It's such a coincidence, no way.
And what he had thought about before, to find the meaning of scarlet, and to do an investigation report about scarlet, was also successfully completed, although there were many twists and turns in the middle, but Wei Wei could already feel that he was now at a point where he knew scarlet the most in history, was extremely familiar with the various characteristics and powers of scarlet, and could even use this to harvest other demonic powers for his own use.
For example, by cutting off people's heads and sewing them with blood, they can gain loyal servants.
This method Wei Wei would not have before,
Others, meeting with calamity, helping Ye Feifei get rid of the shadow brought by his own family, etc., are not planned, but they are also surprising experiences.
Now, he successfully brought back Ye Feifei and created the most powerful blood-colored sickle, but he was actually not happy in his heart.
Why?
Wei Wei thought in his heart, but he could also vaguely understand.
Probably because, in this operation, he experienced the most blows and worries, and even won smoothly in the end, but it also relied on Calamity's own plan and the previous scarlet layout, not on himself, right? It is precisely because he is not relying on himself that there is a lot of uncertainty and risk, but in such a situation, neither his old classmates nor Captain Ouyang came to help him.
Wei Wei didn't care about these things at all before, or rather, he didn't care much about them now.
However, it seems that because he insisted on saving Ye Feifei this time, he had a little more in his heart.
There is actually a feeling of gain and loss.
It's strange that I'm not a child anymore, or rather, I'm not a human anymore...
Thinking about these perhaps ridiculous questions, he exhaled lowly, looked up, and looked at the sky obscured by smoke and dust, and a face appeared in front of him.
It was Ye Feifei's face, but Ye Feifei was not far away, as if he was about to boil some water to make tea, but Wei Wei still felt that this face was very distant and unreal.
He understood, this was the face of Calamity.
When this face appeared uncontrollably in front of him, he also remembered the words that he had spoken to himself in a whispered voice before the calamity disappeared:
"Mommy is waking up......
「......」
"Hoo ........"
Wei Wei suddenly had a feeling of being flooded into the icy sea water in an instant, the air around him seemed to have become viscous, and he was squeezing himself from all directions, looking at everything around him, he felt misty and cold, and there was a sense of panic that emerged from the deepest part of his heart, which began to rise from the bottom of his heart, making him have a loneliness beyond reality, and an indelible sense of panic......
Mom......
Wei Wei had already abandoned his previous memories and cognition of Scarlet, so he didn't even know what this meant.
But as soon as he remembered the way Calamity first uttered this word to himself, he felt a deep horror when he thought of the word. It seems that this fear is hidden deeper than memory. What does this mean exactly?
Why did Calamity seem so mysterious and desperate when he told himself this?
....
....
"In the eyes of many people, the decisions we make are not positive enough."
Similarly, at this time, the first city defense, the three founders of the Foundation, with a curious spider, came to a place like a prison.
This is the Foundation's containment center, and the place where the most secrets are hidden.
The spider has the permission to come here to learn and understand some things, but her permission is limited, so she can only touch the part under the A-level clearance, but she didn't expect that she would be so lucky, and under the leadership of the three founders, she went straight to the deepest part of the containment center, and came to a secret place far beyond her own permission.........
Here, in the center of the layers of protection, she saw only a glass box.
A box the size of a boxy TV, with a black-red, eerie sphere that floats silently.
Just looking at it that way, the spider can't even tell if it's an entity or not.
"But that's not an excuse, we don't want to make decisions that seem right, but are actually just lazy."
One of the founders of the Foundation, when he spoke, his voice was subconsciously lowered a lot, as if he was worried that it would alarm the contents of the box.
"Because, we're better than
Others, feeling a deeper fear."
「....….」
The spider didn't know if he was justifying anything, but he felt an inexplicable horror because he was close to this box, and his expression was a little unnatural:
"You say, 'This is ......."
「......」
"This is the rose, and it's the origin of everything."
The three founders looked at each other and gave an answer that horrified the spider.
Roses, representing mystery and evil, also represent the greatest threat facing the Foundation today, and as intelligence officers, a large part of their work is to investigate everything related to Rose.
And even if this is the case, it is because she has helped Wei Wei investigate Rose before, so she will be given this task.
Otherwise, according to her own promotion route, she had just graduated from the training camp, and she was not even qualified to hear the title of Gaizang. "The problems of this world have arisen a long time ago, long before the mysterious Big Bang happened.
The three founders didn't seem to have a direct explanation for the spider, but sighed softly and said, "You know what?"
"Our world, or rather, our race, seems to have always had a strong tendency to self-destruct.
"Looking at our long history, it seems that we have always experienced the same thing, maybe prosperity, maybe growth, but in this short period of stability, there will always be accumulation of violence and despair, and every time such violence and despair are accumulated to the extent that they are close to the limit, there will be wars or disasters, and through this form of accumulation of violence, but also let this desperate race get a chance to rebirth."
"Sure, a lot of people will die in between, but that doesn't even matter anymore."
"Importantly, this seems to be a foregone conclusion, and if we as a race, we can also compare it to a life, then this is similar to the instinct of life."
」....….」
"Self-destructing instinct......"
The spider didn't know why they were talking to themselves about it all of a sudden, but they somehow felt that the topic was a bit heavy.
"Through this self-effemination, life lasts for many years, until, when our civilization has developed to a certain extent, this kind of catharsis suddenly can no longer be used......
The other founder, indifferently, continued, "Because the power of human control is too strong."
"When they have too powerful weapons for each other, they don't dare to vent in such a violent way, which will accelerate their own demise." "So, from a very early age, people who understood this began to look for a new way to solve the problem."
「......」
「......」
The three of them explained quickly, as an intelligence officer, Spider had reacted quickly enough and had a strong ability to understand, but it was actually a little difficult at this time.
She could only subconsciously ask, "Did you find it?"
"Oppression and injustice in human society are inevitable.
The third founder seemed to have some helplessness on his face, and said: "No matter what kind of social structure, these things cannot be eliminated, so the violence of the group will inevitably brew in it, and there is no other way than self-destructive catharsis......
"So, there are a lot of such organizations, but no one expects them to really give any answers......
"It's just ......"
「.....」
When he said this, he subconsciously glanced at the glass box.
The first founder sighed and said, "It's just that no one thought that they would actually find this thing......
The eyes of the three founders all looked at the glass box, and there seemed to be some difficulty in their voices: "The ......... born from the collective subconscious of mankind"
「…… The first creature."
「......」
The spider froze for a moment, and she was a little suspicious of her ears.
I just heard the word "human collective unconscious", and then I heard the word "living being"?
"This should be called, a conceptual power......
One of the founders seems to be trying to make the spider understand, trying to find words that are more acceptable to her: "And his role is to trigger the resonance of the brainwaves of all people in the world, even all living beings, and even through this resonance, to influence a person's will and thoughts, as well as their desires, and these affected people are not even aware of the changes they have produced......
"And this discovery is regarded by many as the most precious discovery of the new century......
"Because this perfectly solves the problems that many people have a headache, and it seems to really solve the root cause of all troubles......
「.....」
"Wait........"
The spider couldn't help but interrupt him, "Something that can distort other people's minds and minds, but they take it as an answer?"
"Of course."
One of the more indifferent founders said, "What do you think is the root of the problem?"
"Just like this consortium this time, they have gambled everything to pursue the immortal contract, what do you think their purpose is?"
「......」
The spider didn't know how to answer for a moment, and then said, "And then?"
And then .........."
The three founders let out a low sigh and said, "The mysterious explosion has appeared."
