Regarding the professor's statement, Li Aozi was noncommittal, and on the surface he made a suspicious appearance, but in fact, his attitude towards the professor and even the entire Underworld Humanitarian Relief Organization was not very good.

Before he was brought to the professor, he had been injected with various doses of potions and interrogated for three hours, but these were really nothing to Li Oz.

Although he is not an extraordinary person, his charisma value is very high, and after being beaten a few times, and then performing a little miserably, he will believe it if he confides only a few words.

However, in the face of drugs such as truth spitting elixirs, Li Aozi had no choice, he could only bite his tongue to prevent revealing the truth.

In fact, if Li Oz had opened the faction panel at this moment, he believed that the professor's favorability of him would not be too low.

The most comfortable thing about this attribute is that it is an indiscriminate release of the chosen object, even if it is an elemental creature, a mechanical life, or a Void Hunter, if your charm is high enough, they will prefer to be with you.

It's just that in order to win the trust of the other party, Li Aozi deliberately hesitated for a moment before asking the professor:

"What the hell is it?"

"To answer this question - I have to ask first how much you know about Austrian."

"Does it have any relevance?" Li Oz feigned puzzlement.

"It's very relevant."

The professor stroked the frame of the mirror and patiently explained:

"You should know that before the Galactic Era, that is, in the so-called old era, the people of the Azure Star did not have arcane powers, nor did they have extraordinary people such as warriors and spirit mediums. Mankind greets each other with nuclear weapons, living in the haze and panic of nuclear war, but also because of the existence of the principle of mutual destruction - there is almost no longer a full-scale war between human beings. ”

"It's a little ridiculous to say that the most peaceful period of human civilization is actually living on the verge of world destruction."

"However, the premise of all this is based on the 'collapse of civilization due to the outbreak of nuclear war.'"

"A philosopher of history once said that weapons determine the pattern of war. At a certain point in time, humanity turned over a force that was even more evil than nuclear weapons. ”

The professor paused, then suddenly asked again:

"Mr. Patient, what do you think of transhumans?"

Li Aozi's heart moved, and he immediately replied in the format he had expected:

"No matter how superhuman is, he is also an individual, and he still needs a group to nurture and support him, but with the emergence of a large number of superhumans, the social order will be greatly challenged, and the class gap that could have been balanced by knowledge and education will be more difficult to cross in the future."

The professor shook her head, and she was a little surprised:

"Should it be said that he is a civilized person who has taken the initiative to flee into the outside world? Truly extraordinary. ”

"Superman's child will still be Superman, and more stable than the chaebol and the royal family."

"Therefore, even if someone at the bottom changes his fate through superhuman power for the first time, his descendants will still become the rulers of the monopoly class, even more so than before."

Speaking of which, the professor looked at him:

"The essence of all this, which leads to a change in the pattern of warfare, a change in class, and a great change in the world order is the emergence of the transcendent."

"Transcendents can infiltrate the depths of cities at will, carry out terrorist attacks, or assassinate corporate executives, government officials, or even cause natural disasters."

"Once such a superman appears, it turns the old stable order upside down. Eventually, the effectiveness of nuclear deterrence was low, and under the assassination and sabotage of transcendental people, the country's top brass began to go to war wantonly, and no longer cherished peace. ”

"The end result is the world today."

"So, what led to the appearance of the transcendental?"

"I think you've already guessed it."

Li Aozi said in a deep voice:

"Doom."

The professor sighed:

"Yes, it's all a matter of doom."

"Although no one has ever pointed out what that red-black substance in the sky outside is, there is no doubt that from the moment it appeared on the Azure Star, transcendents also appeared on the ground."

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"Those martial artists who claim to have inherited thousands of years of martial arts, were unknown during the nuclear war, but now that technology is obviously more advanced, and they only rely on physical strength, they have become super soldiers who take the head of the enemy from the army overnight."

"Abilities that don't conform to physics, psychic mediums and warlocks that have always been regarded as feudal superstitions, and even secret service organizations that are specially organized to cultivate the potential of the mind."

"These things have existed on Azure Star for less than three hundred years, and people have forgotten that they all came out almost overnight."

She pointed above and said:

"Just and...... The same red and black clouds. Bring bad luck and let evil go. ”

"So, you call that red-black cloud Doom?"

Li Oz frowned, he had never done this task personally, and the other party's speech surprised him a little.

It's not that shocking...... It's a guess of eight or nine.

Although according to the other party's research method, whether it can reach a conclusion in time - Li Aozi is not optimistic, but the professor's thinking is right.

He followed up with the question of triggering the start of the mission:

"Do you think it's a virus? That's why it infects me? ”

"There is no doubt that Doom is a virus that has never been seen before."

The professor said in a deep voice:

"It's a nanovirus. The diameter is only a few tenths of a nanometer, while conventional viruses are usually above 10 nanometers. ”

"There is no doubt that it is a substance that comes from the atmosphere, it is transmitted through the air, it does not directly cause death, and patients with infection level below level 3 will not have obvious pathological features."

"Yes, judging by your expression, you can probably guess it."

"The reason why the outside world still retains most of the living people is actually the effect of the doom. It doesn't kill the host, and to some extent, as a small virus, it chooses to live in symbiosis with the host, killing other viruses and microbes - so basically, a person infected with Doom can almost be called incomprehensible. ”

Li Oz nodded.

There is naturally a reason why there are still resistance organizations like the 'Rose Army' in the outside world, and they can even confront the four countries that control interstellar technology.

But then, the professor changed his words:

"However, once the infection level is above level 3. That's how things changed. ”

"As I said before, the size of the dosha is very small, which means that it can enter the cell membrane and cell wall of living things, and directly target the chromosomes and molecular structure."

"It kills the original chromosomal fragments, and then quickly replicates itself to form a fill."

"Among them, some people have obtained unprecedented extraordinary abilities because of the change in their molecular structure, such as jumping farther, growing scales, and autonomously controlling bone hyperplasia."

"But most people don't have that good luck."

"The vast majority of third-level infected people will quickly become deformed due to genetic collapse, or die of early aging, or be unable to take care of themselves, and eventually there is only one way to die."

"At the fourth level, there will be new changes in the infected person."

"Some of them have mutated more completely, even detached from their human form and degenerated into inhuman monsters. Wander the outside world and become a terrifying beast. ”

"The other part of the fourth-level infected, I boldly think, is the most common transcendent in the world today."

"Whether it is the internal force that controls the martial arts, or the arcane energy that is different from the laws of science, or the spiritual power that communicates and drives with the spirits, or the magic that communicates the elements, or even the hunters who extract power from the machine, the elements of doom can be detected in their bodies."

"No matter how you look at it, such a virus is not a product of natural birth. After so many years of research, I am even more convinced that this red-black doom virus is by no means the handiwork of nature. ”

When the professor said this, he looked at Li Oz with a heavy face:

"In other words, this is a creation beyond the limits of human technology, and the current level of human technology and environment is completely unable to create this substance, and its source can only come from ......."

The professor did not specify the object, which seems to be somewhat taboo.

Li Oz did not have this kind of taboo, he saw that the time had come, and opened his mouth to pick it up:

"—From the abyss of the stars."

"The Abyss of the Stars...... Hehe, that's a very apt way to put it. ”

The professor glanced at Li Oz with a complicated look:

"You're the only person we've observed that qualifies as a Level 5 infected person."

"Being able to maintain sanity despite being infected, having a strong tendency to self-harm and hallucinations – these are traits that are not present in a person with a level 4 infection, and based on research and clinical data, we have always believed that a person with a level 5 infection has appeared, but until today...... You show the possibility of a match. ”

“…… What do you want to do? ”

"Mr. Lee, you are very important."

The professor said:

"Traces of Darkness is a humanitarian relief organization that emphasizes the value of human beings and upholds their dignity and rights. In the same way, we oppose any form of discipline and coercion of the human mind. ”

"Your identity, as important as it is, can even change the fate of all mankind. But what we are going to do to you is probably not what is in line with the usual humanitarian principles. ”

"To put it simply, we need you to cooperate with us in research, which is of great significance to the whole world, and can even save the lives of billions of people in the outside world."

"But I have to warn you, too."

"During the experiment, in order to complete the purpose, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to your psychology and physiology, and I hope to be able to inform you in advance of such consequences."

"You can choose to leave, the Underworld is a humanitarian relief organization, and we don't want to kidnap your personal freedom of existence with the fate and future of all mankind."

"So, please make your choice."

She didn't finish her words. A system prompt immediately popped up in front of Li Oz:
