The alarm goes off.

Shemir got out of bed.

Standing by the glass window for a while, I went to wash and dress.

There was no class at noon.

The old leader had a new research topic and invited Shemir to join.

Shamir politely declined.

"It's okay, I can understand that you don't want to do this, after all, you also have the authority to set up independent projects now, this is not important."

"But the question is that you haven't been busy lately, why are the dark circles so serious? Obviously, there will be such a small physical problem after the fifth order? ”

"What the hell are you thinking, O Semir? So much psychological pressure? ”

The old leader still cares a lot about Shemir.

Although Shemir was a little annoyed, his heart warmed, and then he casually found a reason to fool around.

The old leader left, and there was still some worry in his eyes before leaving.

Shermir looked at the back of the old leader, and stopped talking, and the vision in front of him suddenly blurred.

It's like watching TV and suddenly there is a burst of snowflakes.

It's like when the signal is not in good contact, the picture is distorted.

An unfamiliar figure appeared in front of Shemir's eyes.

The figure is translucent, and the face is not clear, but it is roughly humanoid.

What are you hesitating about? 】

Aren't you already very sure of your goals? 】

[The decayed part should be cut off with a scalpel, and the slightest mercy is not allowed.] 】

[Or do you think humans can survive this?] 】

Semir's face darkened, and he walked straight to the bathroom.

Closing the door and locking it, he propped up the mirror with both hands, "Shut up!" You are fake, you are non-existent...... Damn, how the hell is this going to be solved?? ”

This is the Shemir's biggest secret.

Since he became an adult, he can always see a looming figure on his birthday every year.

It's hard to tell what kind of existence this figure is.

But he always said something that made Semir break his defenses.

It is very similar to a hereditary, congenital pollution alienation disease.

This congenital pollution alienation disease is very, very rare, and is born from the interweaving of the pollution of the demon cave and human life.

Of the few records that have been recorded, most of them were children born to mothers who had been contaminated by the cave.

Most children's minds are distorted by pollution and are born perverted murderers.

Even if there is normal, the psychology will develop over time, gradually become depressed, and most of them commit suicide.

Whether it's the former or the latter, it's not a good thing to look at.

There has never been a single case of Shamir being so safe and sound, and only being discovered when he became an adult.

Shermir didn't dare to say anything, for fear of becoming a guinea pig.

It was from that time that he began to work hard to climb up, and finally succeeded in stepping into the 5th step at the age of 30.

Just as he thought, since he stepped into the 5th order, this illusion caused by pollution has never appeared again.

Now, several years have passed, and Shemir is about to forget about it, but he did not expect to return from the court...... The illusion reappeared.

It wasn't serious at first, it only showed up every five or six days.

Over time, it will appear every two or three days.

Until now, it has appeared almost every day.

Shemir was so stressed that he couldn't sleep every day.

His face was pale, his eyes were dark, and his spirit was haggard.

The concern of the old leader is really not untargeted.

Hit the mirror hard.

Semir lowered his head and washed his face, looking at himself in the mirror with a somewhat gloomy expression.

The man in the mirror hooked his head slightly, his face was pale, his dark circles were blue, and his hair was wet at the tips, looking very embarrassed.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that because of the destruction of the Black Iron Battle Fortress, it has been polluted by some kind of imperceptible depth in the surrounding area?

[No. 】

[In the end, you know very well whether you know it yourself, don't find other reasons for yourself. 】

[Isn't it just that I hate some people in the upper echelons of the human race, and won't killing them solve the problem? Why think so much? 】

Shermir's face froze, and he slowly turned his head to meet the phantom, "What the hell are you?" ”

[I am you, but you are very, very far away. 】

[It's also interesting to think about, it's really interesting to meet yourself.] 】

[Didn't you see another self before?] Have you forgotten? 】

The phantom really seems to be more than just an illusion, and in the face of Shemir's question, there are actually questions and answers.

Another ...... Myself??!

Shermir shook his head speechlessly, he couldn't understand what the phantom meant by [himself], he didn't understand it at all.

He smiled miserably, "Let me kill some people, are you sure it's not the pollution that dragged me down?" "I feel like I'm going crazy.

[No, no, no, please don't get me wrong. 】

[I'm actually very busy right now, I can only make some suggestions about your affairs, as for accepting or not accepting, you make your own decision. 】

[However...... Whether it's you or ...... It's all 'me', so I don't have to guess the final result to know. 】

[After all, I know myself best.] 】

"Okay, I'll just treat you as another 'me', so what should I call you? Is your name also Shamir? Suppressing all the uneasiness in his heart, Shemir clenched his fists vigorously and tried to speak in a calm tone.

[Name?] You can call me Shaoyang. 】

Hearing this, Shemir breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, even the name was different, 'it' definitely not me.

"Okay then, Mr. Shaoyang, what are you doing with it? Do you know that if you just pop up like this, it will scare people to death? Staring at the phantom, Shemir kept calming himself, trying to behave kindly, and even made a joke.

[Dead man? I'm really sorry, maybe because you and I are not in the same form as I am, so we have a different understanding of death. 】

[You will be afraid, I will not be afraid, you will think of it, I will not think of it. 】

[Hmm...... It's a bit of a hassle, and if the meaning is wrong, something will happen. 】

The phantom was stunned for a moment, then replied very seriously.

Communication dispels strangeness.

At least Sémir was in a much better mood at this time than before.

Although he still hasn't figured out whether the illusion in front of him is crazy and schizophrenic.

Or is this really some kind of projection of existence.

Forget it, whatever, it's come to this, do you want to run away?

[As for the purpose...... Isn't it normal to have to help yourself? 】

The corners of Shermir's mouth twitched.

Obviously, he can already accept the illusion in front of him and can talk to him.

But now for some reason, I am inexplicably resentful.

"Mr. Shaoyang, do you help others like this? Aren't you afraid that you will scare the other party to death before you can help? ”

"Even though I don't think I'm scared to death by others, your presence does make me think too much and be stressed."

Before the phantom could answer, Shemir frowned again, "There's still something wrong, if you really want to help, then why didn't you speak before?" ”

"Not only will the figure suddenly disappear and appear suddenly, but there will also be a very noisy tinnitus murmur...... And now, with the murmur gone, you can actually speak? ”

This is a very strange phenomenon, especially as if the signal reception is getting clearer and clearer.

Assuming that the phantom is really a projection of some kind of existence, then what is it that causes his reception of the phantom to become clearer and clearer?

Is it a change in the surrounding environment? Or is it a change in itself?

As if thinking of something, Shermir's face suddenly froze.

[Oh, looking at your expression, it seems to have thought of it, worthy of 'me'. 】

[I advise you not to give up, because this path is the right one. 】

The phantom's body rippled, and it seemed to be fading away.

"Right? What do you mean? Is that what I think? Shermir's eyes seemed to light up, and he asked quickly.

[I said it, you are me, so your thoughts are my thoughts. 】

[Needless to say, as long as it's me, all the ideas are of course correct.] The Phantom affirmed Shemir's words.

Then the phantom's body began to dissipate, but its voice still echoed—

[I'm in trouble again, so I'm going to disconnect.] 】

[But before disconnecting, I still advise you, don't hesitate, just kill it.] 】

[The road to the future is opened up because of the arrival of 'me'. 】

[That's the new era, the new era doesn't need the carrion of the old era, I think you understand what I mean, after all, you are also me. 】

[See you next time...... Snort......]

【Hum——! 】

Before he could finish speaking, the phantom vanished completely.

Shermir looked at the place where the phantom disappeared in a daze, and his mind was a little confused for a while

For no reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of meeting and talking with Gong Yuguang and Gong Yuqing more than a month ago.

At first, Shermir thought it was nothing more than a new organization pulling people, and planned to refuse after listening to it.

But the result surprised him, the [Shadow Organization] established by Gong Yuguang was completely different from what he thought.

It was a loose organization built by countless civilian workers, many hunters roaming the wilderness, and many scientists.

There's almost everyone in it from top to bottom.

Considering Gong Yuguang's age of several hundred years, it is really impossible to say that these long years can allow him to weave such a vast network of contacts.

The initial purpose of the Shadow Organization was to inspect the very small number of degenerated parts of humanity and try to eliminate and eliminate them.

Exclusion is probably a report that came out of nowhere, evidence that suddenly changed, and a sudden arrest.

Culling, in fact, is assassination.

Although Gong Yuguang did not elaborate, Xie Mier knew it.

Shermir instantly figured out that the gradual decline of the platinum family may be due to the counterattack of the dark forces of humanity itself.

Platinum Family ...... Maybe it used to be the razor of the bottom line of humanity.

It's designed to remove the carrion.

Only now, this 'razor' is no longer good, and there are only two people left.

Whether it can continue is a question mark.

So they can only apply for foreign aid.

After examining countless people.

They ended up choosing...... Long Zexuan and Shermir.

Long Zexuan agreed without hesitation.

But Shermir said it would take some time to think about it.

He thought that Gong Yuguang and Gong Yuqing would be a little unhappy when he said this.

Unexpectedly, they were not unhappy at all, as if they had long thought that he would do this.

Now, more than a month has passed.

Maybe now,

It's time for him to make a decision......
