Chapter 217: Extraterrestrial Gods
Special Service Nine, an air carrier.
This is the designated VIP suite on the entire cell in the heavy prisoner detention area where Leng Ji once stayed. However, in order to welcome new guests, the prison has also been temporarily renovated, and Miyazaki has been in charge of the old thief, and the access control and internal facilities have been made into a shape for new guests, so that residents can feel at home.
If Chu Cheng wants to say, the old thief Miyazaki should be regarded as one of the few people in this madhouse who is relatively reliable. The field staff in this place pulled the crotch equipment, and the leadership saluted Arkham to the winery's security office, and from top to bottom, almost only the old thief was always in C.
After all, the old thief is just a scientist, and he doesn't have the power to carry a lightsaber to the front line to stab people, so much he can do. However, in the short time since the infection incident, he has made considerable progress in research, and sometimes some of the scientific and technological equipment developed in a targeted manner does still have some effect.
It's the same this time. The old thief has discovered that the principle of the operation mechanism of the Ancient's special abilities is similar to that of the infected that he has studied in the past, and the ability suppression equipment he has developed before is also applicable to the Ancients.
It is based on this principle that the Miyazaki thief temporarily modified and strengthened the suppression equipment of this VIP suite, so that even the ancient Layla could not easily get out of here.
But as she said before, she took the initiative to show up with the idea of cooperation from the beginning. Since she came, she didn't think about leaving from the beginning.
By this time, she had thrown out an important piece of information to the humans who were holding and interrogating her an important piece of information that she had told Batman a few hours earlier.
"You mean,"
Professor Miyazaki sat cross-legged behind the glass, knuckles tapping on the table, looking at her with an interested expression.
"We thought you 'ancients' had been the source of the infection all along...... But in fact, we are wrong? ”
"Not exactly."
Layla was sitting in a well-behaved position, talking to Professor Miyazaki through a layer of transparent one-way glass.
The entire room was almost armed to the teeth, and a series of suppression devices were hidden in the wall panels and outside the room, suppressing her abilities and the shape-shifting effects of the Tisshield respectively. At the back of the room was a huge machine, which was connected to the machine with dense wiring, and it made a low humming sound when it was running.
"The infections you've experienced so far are indeed from us. Most of the infections that occur on this planet are the work of us, the race you call the 'Ancients'.
So I don't say this in an attempt to absolve myself of responsibility and to gain your sympathy or favor. It is true that we are responsible for something, but we are not the source of what you are looking for.
It is true that most of the influences and special abilities of the infected among you humans come from us, but neither are the abilities of our ancients. Our abilities have been acquired elsewhere, but that was a long, long time ago. ”
These words undoubtedly deserve the highest attention. In particular, Professor Miyazaki, who has studied the infection issue most deeply and is the most interested, sat up straight when he heard this, and showed a very interested expression.
Layla guessed correctly, the madhouse was indeed very interested in these, especially the old thief Miyazaki. In fact, he has never been too interested in saving mankind from disaster or anything, and the old thief's greatest concern has always been his own research, discovering where the source of infection comes from, how it works, and where it will lead humanity.
And now may be the closest he is to the answer he seeks.
"Can you tell me where this stuff comes from?" Professor Miyazaki asked.
"Of course, but I'm afraid there's only so much I can offer." Layla said calmly, a look of remembrance, "That's already ...... It was a long, long time ago, a prayer about how we ancient people came to be what they are today.
That was also the starting point that happened before my countless reincarnations and countless rebirths, and it was my ...... What happens when you are really alive. It's been too long now, too many times to wake up, and the memories of that first life are too vague. But what I can remember is...... They come from outside the sky. ”
Everyone who heard this was in an uproar.
Outer?
Does it mean that the source of the infection event came from outside the Pole Star? Aliens?
"Who are they?" Professor Miyazaki asked impatiently.
"I don't know. I can't remember exactly...... I don't think anyone else can remember. "I only vaguely remember that it was an existence beyond the reach of the boundaries imagined by our ancients.
They come from among the stars, something truly ancient and great. They possessed infinite knowledge and resources from time immemorial, and each of them possessed unimaginable power, and it was ridiculous for us ordinary and humble races to even think of rebellion. ”
The people outside the interrogation room read each other's amazement in each other's faces.
The Ancients are already a race beyond their imagination of living beings, and they have all seen how powerful an Ancients can be. But is even such a race just ordinary and humble in the face of the so-called "gods"?
"Yes, our Ancients were once just ordinary races on the Pole of the Earth, but by chance, we touched a little trace of them on the Pole Star, some transcendent seeds, which gave us great power and immortality in disguise - of course, it also became our eternal curse." Layla continued calmly.
Everyone's expressions gradually began to become solemn.
Letos and Layla, the two ancients who surfaced one after another, were defeated in succession, and their attitude towards the infection incident was somewhat relaxed.
Well, in fact, these two times were not won by them, but seeing these two ancients being beaten by the big guy and looking for teeth all over the ground, so that these melon eaters couldn't help but have the idea of "but so", and even felt that if they were ready to start a war in advance, then I could go to me.
But now they're discovering that things don't seem to be that simple.
Professor Miyazaki eagerly continued to ask, "So what you said ...... Alien? I can understand it as an alien, right? You mean to say that they have been to the Pole Planet...... Many, many years ago. But they're gone, right? ”
"Yes." Layla said, "It's been a long time since it's gone." But if you want to ask, will they ever come back? I'm afraid the answer is yes.
They always go back to where they were, sooner or later. What you find now on this planet, the massive resurgence of sources of infection, and the increasing frequency of infections, may be harbingers. ”
There was silence in the interrogation room, and several people in the room exchanged glances.
"So how are we going to stop them?" Professor Miyazaki asked.
But this time Layla didn't answer, but smiled lightly.
"No, you still don't understand." She said, "Yes, human beings are not the same as I remember, and I have seen that."
But with all due respect, even then you can't win them, because no one can.
They have a power that you have never seen in anything, and absolutely no one can resist it. We ancients can't do it, and neither can you humans. Even if it's you ...... Neither will fancy weapons. ”
"Good...... bar. Professor Miyazaki said, "So the 'important information' you gave is that we are almost finished, and no one can save us." You should realize that this doesn't help you in your situation, right? ”
"I'm just saying you can't stop them." Layla said with a blank face, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. They are beings who have mastered the law, and they are invincible.
But what I can help you is to fight for humanity to have a chance to live. ”
Professor Miyazaki raised an eyebrow.
"How? Waving a white flag and begging for mercy? ”
"By showing friendliness, we prove that humanity is not a threat. In the end......"
Layla paused, and the conversation shifted.
“...... Yes. You would do well to pray for their forgiveness. ”
