The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown.

Most human beings' fear of the so-called supernatural, mysterious unknown civilizations, and so-called cosmic people and aliens comes essentially from the fear of the unknown.

Keigo Masaki, on the other hand, lost his fear of the unknown, after all, after seeing such a powerful cosmic military empire, it was difficult for them to have such a fear of other supernatural phenomena.

As a person who has found the evolutionary route alone, he himself also has this proud capital, although he himself does not realize it, but he actually relies on his own strength to make the upper limit of human beings leap to the level of the universe.

If he didn't think about the other humans, Masaki Keigo didn't have any fear of the Killilords themselves, and even, without considering the other humans, he felt that even if he faced all the Killilords, the advantage was on his side.

Therefore, when Keigo Masaki shifted from thinking about the great empire of the universe to thinking about the Killilords, what he thought about was not the difficult abilities of the Killilords, but how to completely dissipate the threat of this civilization that had existed on the earth for 30 million years.

And his idea is very simple and cruel, that is, to 'bind' the Killilords with human bodies, and then use human society to 'eat' them one by one.

But as he said to Castor before, it's not a very simple thing, and it's not so technically or morally acceptable.

Life is life after all, even if it is a cloned body, it is life in the true sense, and they should not be played with at will.

And the reason why Casto asked him to come to Horii is also very simple, after Masaki Keigo lost his fear, he also lost his respect for life, and Horii is obviously the opposite of Masaki Keigo.

Horii is always full of fear of the unknown in life and science, but this also means that he is always full of awe for life and science, Sanada Ryosuke and Masaki Keigo have realized one thing in their relationship with Horii, that is, everyone is very talented in scientific research, but the things that Horii has researched always lack a feeling that can make people 'wow'.

Horii's awe and fear, from a utilitarian point of view, were actually restricting his own scientific talent, but neither Ryosuke Sanada nor Keigo Masaki had ever thought of changing Horii because they needed such a person to be able to supervise themselves.

Horii sat at the back of the experimental table, he listened to Masaki Keigo's narration, and then the chubby face wrinkled, rubbed the bridge of his nose with both hands and looked at Masaki Keigo, "Masaki Keigo! Do you even know what you're talking about?! ”

He stood up and looked Masaki Keigo up and down, "You came to me out of the blue after a few days of vanishing and told me to clone a human body for the Killilords, and to add devices to this body that can interfere with the brainwaves of the Killilords, and even to install a virus in each body that can infect the soul body. ”

"You bastard! Are you crazy, you know what you're talking about? Of course, I want to destroy those enemies, but your behavior, even if human society has not yet developed ethics related to other civilizations, but your behavior is enough to go to court martial just by listening! ”

"If it is really as you said, it is very likely that human beings will establish the so-called human empire in the cosmic period in a few hundred years, then have you ever thought that you may be judged by the so-called empire in your mouth after a few hundred years, because of your inhumane experiments!"

Keigo Masaki looked at Horii, rarely, he was scolded and had no temper, he snorted coldly, "Hmph! You know what. Even if I'm judged, I'm too."

"It's a! What else can you have? Cosmic criminals! Horii said to Keigo Masaki, "If one day in the future, human beings really establish a new civilization in the universe, then what you Keigo Masaki do is a shame for human civilization!" ”

"You will be the most notorious executioner in the history of mankind, and what you have done to the Killilords will be nailed to the pillar of shame of human civilization along with the death of the aborigines of the Great Voyage, with the living experiments done by the whites on the blacks, and with every 'inhumane massacre' in the history of mankind."

"Humph! So what do you say? Keigo Masaki turned his head to look to the side, and after a 'enlightenment' from Horii, he began to calm down, "So what to do?" The Killilords have always been lurking around human society, and if they don't do it, we can't do it, so what are we going to do? ”

"Is this a Kilielodian thing?" Horii looked at Keigo Masaki with some hatred, "Can you bastard take your mind off the intrigue and take a serious look at what the point is." ”

"The point now is that human beings are going to come into contact with civilizations other than human beings, and it is not a civilization that has no way to communicate like the lightning people, in this case, what kind of appearance should human beings appear in the universe, and how human beings should treat other civilizations."

"Of course I do!" Keigo Masaki said disdainfully, "Hmph! I was the first to think about it, first the empire must be human, and then science must be."

"Can you stop mentioning your bullshit empire, that's a few hundred years away, can you take a look at the present in your brain!" Horii finally realized that Keigo Masaki's state was a little strange, and he looked Keigo Masaki up and down, "What is the reason that you are the empire when you open your mouth and close your mouth?" Are you stimulated by anything? ”

"Humph! Didn't I tell you before? Ryosuke Sanada may have been resurrected by Castor and sent to some empire in the universe. Keigo Masaki was silent for a while and said, "It's a very terrifying, very large, cosmic empire. ”

Hearing Ryosuke Sanada's name, Horii was silent for a while, he was very happy that Ryosuke Sanada might still be alive, but he still maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the news of the Cosmic Empire, and finally Horii spoke, "I won't mention anything else, don't you think that this matter is essentially not in the hands of our two scientists?" ”

In the TPC high-level conference room, in front of the round table is Director Sawai, with Nanyuan and Yoshioka on his left and right, respectively, and Kastow on his chin in his hands at the other end of the table.

All the curtains were drawn, and the whole room was dark, except for the projections, and the voices of Keigo Masaki and Horii beside him on the edge of the curtain.

Yoshioka leaned back in his chair and listened to Keigo Masaki's narration, then he yawned, "Okay, stop, we all know these things." ”

Keigo Masaki looked at Sawai with some confusion, only to see the other party smile at him, "Yoshioka, Nanyuan, me, Casto, we have been discussing it in the conference room for a long time when you went to tell Horii about your plan. ”

Keigo Masaki looked at Castor, who only shrugged his shoulders, "You don't think your perverted plan can really succeed, do you?" If you are lucky enough to do this, you can indeed achieve the fusion of humans and the Killilords, and then eliminate the Killilords little by little, but once you are unlucky, even if the empire in your mouth has not yet been established, as long as there is a little crisis in human society, it will be human beings who will be countered as soon as possible. ”

"Childish, Keigo Masaki, you're still too naïve." Nanyuan opened the fan with a 'brush', "It's too naïve to think about using time and numbers to devour those Kilielods. ”

After a pause, Nanyuan closed the fan again and said seriously, "You plan to bind the Kilielod people to human bodies, first of all, the technical difficulty is high enough, and"

"And will be nailed to the pillar of shame of humanity." Keigo Masaki was annoyed by these people's ridicule one after another, and said directly, "I know that this kind of behavior violates human ethics, and that fat man has said it many times, can you say it differently?" ”

Everyone's eyes followed Masaki Keigo's words and looked at Horii together, Horii was stunned for a moment, and then a proud and proud smile appeared on his face.

"Horii, you kid has a brain." Yoshioka looked at Horii with satisfaction, "Keigo Masaki's plan is full of loopholes, and humans can't give the cosmic people a handle." ”

"Even if you say, such a mentally retarded plan, Keigo Masaki, your capitalist identity makes me suspicious." Casto followed suit, "Which capitalist would come forward as a perpetrator." ”

"Keigo Masaki I know you've always wanted to take my place, but do you think I built the TPC by killing the enemy?" Sawai looked at Keigo Masaki with a smile, "No, I was supported by everyone to sit in this position. ”

"You guys." Horii, who rarely attends such meetings, opened his mouth, and he and Keigo Masaki looked at each other, and the two scientists suddenly realized that it was as if the two of them had misunderstood the subject of the meeting.

"You're all right." Castor interrupted Keigo Masaki and Horii in a loud voice, "Keigo Masaki you want to destroy the Killilords, of course there is no problem, Horii you resist from a moral level, this is naturally no problem. ”

"The question is, you go back to the beginning of the question, a simple question, why do the Killilordians listen to you, and unite with the clones you have made? Do they really like the way carbon-based creatures survive? Isn't it clear that everyone can be united with humans, but since the beginning of human history, there have only been so many human unions? ”

"And." Yoshioka knocked on the table and said angrily, "The problem now is that in addition to the Kilielods who want to lean towards the human side, there are still a large number of Kilielod people on the earth who are hostile to humans. ”

"There is an eternal truth, Masaki Keigo, you have to remember, you will definitely use it in the future." Sawai still smiled, only this time there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes, "No matter when, one thing is certain, we will make more friends and fewer enemies." ”

Speaking of this, Sawai looked at Masaki Keigo with some hatred, "Haven't I shown it before?" The Kilielods are such a useful tool, why do you want to kill them all? ”

"A Kilielod is worthy of a panel in the public opinion department of the TPC! Do you know how rare such propaganda and psychological adjustment skills are?! Do you know how scarce psychiatrists are these days! ”

After speaking, as if he was angry, Director Sawai closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.

Keigo Masaki and Horii glanced at each other, and they finally realized why there was no Megumi in this meeting, compared to these people, Captain Megumi Kuruma was too kind.

Keigo Masaki opened his mouth, and then said angrily, "Is it possible that the guidance of the human spirit by the Killilords can be good or bad."

Kasto, Minamihara, and Yoshioka were silent about Keigo Masaki's question, even if they talked about it in a big way, but the danger of the Killilords was there, and they were not human after all, so they couldn't be completely believed.

"Hiss~~" Casto looked at Nanyuan, "This is indeed a problem, do you have any good ideas for your staff?" ”

"What can you think?" Nanyuan looked at Yoshioka, "Hey! You guy, don't you advocate the use of the Killilords as tools and weapons of humanity? ”

"What are you kidding, my police department is only responsible for destroying the enemy, how to manage them, that's not my job." Yoshioka shook his head, then lay back in his chair and began to swing.

The corners of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched, and he talked about these guys for a long time, but didn't he put forward any fart plan?

Thinking of this, Masaki Keigo stopped pretending directly, and pulled Horii to sit down on the table together, and then the two of them and the remaining three people frantically discussed how to use the Kilielod people while not letting the Kilielod people have a negative impact on people.

Keigo Masaki and Horii from a scientific point of view, Minamihara from an institutional point of view, Yoshioka from the perspective of military coercion, Casto fishing in troubled waters + fanning the flames, the five people started from three angles, and then came up with dozens of methods, each method was more outrageous than the other, and finally slowly returned to Keigo Masaki's plan to slowly absorb and assimilate the Killilords.

"You really are" Director Sawai, who had not spoken, knocked on the table, and he opened his eyes again, "Forget about the others, Nanyuan and Yoshioka, haven't you two made any progress in all these years?" ”

"How to guard against the Killilords! How to restrain the Kilielods! Do you have to think with this kind of offensive thinking?! ”

"Old man Sawai! If you have something to say, just say it! I've put up with you for a long time! Keigo Masaki rolled up his sleeves directly, "If you old guy can't come up with a solution now, don't even think about walking out of this conference room today!" ”

Casto nodded unashamedly when he saw the excitement, "Give him two more punches, and record them in my and Horii's accounts!" ”

Horii: ?

Minamihara and Yoshioka were not so grumpy, they looked at Sawai, as people who had known this old guy for decades, they both knew each other's abilities in this regard.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on himself, Sawai took a sip of water, and then said unhurriedly, "Tell me first, what do the Kilielrodians want to gain in human society after staying on Earth for 30 million years?" And what do these Killierodians want now? What are they afraid of? ”

"Future." Keigo Masaki was the first to speak, "To be precise, it should be that after hundreds of years, after human beings enter the universe, they will be in the living space of the universe. ”

"And status and worship, everything they did before that was to want humans to worship them." Nanyuan also said.

"They're scared of the speed of human development." Yoshioka frowned, "The development of the human race in the military has made them realize that they may not be able to completely defeat the human race. ”

"Religion and belief or something," Casto silently raised his hand, "I don't really understand this thing, but the people of Killiellod seem to need this." ”

"So, if we give these things to them, will we hurt humanity?" Sawai asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Of course, faith and religion"

"Status, creed, religion. Did these things appear for nothing? Sawai spread his hands and said, "For humans thousands of years ago, they were able to leave their own portraits on the religion of mankind by doing anything, but now? ”

"Supernatural phenomena should become less and less valuable," Keigo Masaki analyzed seriously, "As far as I know, there are some supernatural forces in human society. ”

"And the development of science has also made people's 'threshold' higher and higher." Horii continued, "If we can't go beyond the imagination of human beings, then it will be difficult for that kind of religious worship to come back to life." ”

"Well, old man, what are you going to do, tell me your plan." Casto looked at Director Sawai speechlessly, "We all know you're an expert in this. ”

"Then I said, what if we don't think of the Killilords as cosmic people, but as a 'minority' on Earth?"

"Be specific!"

Sawai tapped his hands on the table before beginning his plan, "First of all, the Killilords want to gain a place in human society, both the current human society and the future human empire they fear. ”

"The word status is very strange, on the surface, it seems to mean power, but does a person with status necessarily have rights? Yes, but not by much.

Moreover, they should also understand that they cannot gain real power in human society. ”

"Naturally, then, we can give them status, first of all, to these Killilordians who have good intentions towards us."

"For example? In what name? ”

"The first step is canonization, and we give status and respect to those who are the representatives of human society, to those who are the least numerous in the community of the Killierods, who are themselves intertwined with the religious part of human history, then we will officially recognize the titles of witches and prophets, and we can even send them to the Pope and give them the right to interpret the relevant religious history." Sawai pointed to his head,

"We can promise these people that when the Human Empire is formed, these people will also be able to attain equal status with humans, and even because of their contributions and knowledge in their heads, we can promise to give them some higher status in the future."

"Even when the Killielodes disobey them, human society can send armed forces to help them destroy the rebellion, what underground shark Gaiozark, what weapons that can destroy souls, even giants of light, as long as they need it, they can use it all, we give them infinite respect."

"And then there are the remaining ones who have taken refuge in us, the Killilords of the soul body, for whom we cannot directly give them status, but they can also rely on their own efforts to obtain the opportunity to rise." Sawai pointed to his upper body, "As long as they can help humanity when they need it in the future, then they will also be able to gain a certain status and power." ”

"For example, if they defeat the new Kilielods, they are qualified to govern them." Sawai pointed to the ground, "Those Killilords who are hostile to humans are the passage for them to ascend, we don't limit the number of people they manage, but the more they manage, the more they will have a say in the future empire." ”

"If someone is unwilling to attack their kind, then their contribution to other things can also give them a higher status, such as using their abilities to guide humans in an area, such as helping humans defeat monsters."

"Of course, once there is a betrayer, the same status can be obtained by destroying the betrayer."

Director Sawai smiled softly at the others at the table, "That's basically what it means, of course, you can add some other things specifically, such as as being recognized and obtaining a body, they can directly enjoy the power and status second only to witches and prophets, and the acquisition of a body requires contributions to obtain."

Of course, you should remember to use biomechanical methods to circumvent ethics in the manufacture of this body, but you must remember that you have to set a year for the body, and it will be scrapped when it expires, and each time you regain the body, the contribution you need to make is higher. ”

"What else is there to add later, anyway, our purpose is one thing, everything they do now will be rewarded in the future human society."

After Sawai finished talking about this large pile of things with a smile, the entire conference room was silent, and the expressions of the others were quite normal, and Horii was completely shocked at the moment.

"I want to see it." Casto crossed his fingers, "The caste system in India, the Tusi system in China, the means of colonization by capital, the support of puppet regimes to make them struggle internally, the 'afterlife' of religion."

The corners of Keigo Masaki's mouth twitched wildly, and he looked at Sawai, "There are so many things in human culture, you just extracted all the worst ones"

Director Sawai put away his smile, and he said in a serious, nonchalant tone, "Compared to your unethical plan, it is obvious that this plan of mine is full of the 'essence' of various human worlds. ”

"You know, these are all things that have been summed up by human beings for thousands of years, if it weren't for these things, relying solely on ideals and beliefs, do you think that guy Yoshioka would take the initiative to choose to join TPC? That's how he chose to betray the old defense forces and join the TPC. ”

Yoshioka: ?

Nanyuan:.

This guy won't see it until now, will he?

"Of course, these are basics." Director Sawai said seriously, "After all, there must be more than one civilization outside of humans, and from the current perspective, even if there is more than one civilization other than humans on Earth, we can introduce new mechanisms in the future to confront each other, such as if necessary, we can bring back some lightning people." ”

"And even if there is no new civilization on the earth, we can let them go to the universe, anyway, what they want is the future living space, then give them living space, the universe is so big, it is too troublesome for human beings to explore, since they have this need, they can give them these jobs."

"Stop! Don't talk about colonization, the use of the Killilords to govern the Killielods, and the use of the Cosmic against the Cosmic Man. Chief of Staff Nanyuan looked at the more and more deviant speeches, and chose to directly interrupt Director Sawai, "We all understand these things, flipping through the history books of mankind, they are all these things. ”

"The question now is, I'm not sure if the current level of the earth can do these things, and the premise of all of this is that the Killilords must be afraid of civilization, that is, we must at least do it, and we can take the Killilords with us to the end."

It is still the previous theory, the emergence of the atomic bomb, so that everyone becomes equal in the matter of life and death, and this is the reason for the stability of the world after the emergence of the atomic bomb.

Nanyuan is unsure if there really is such a balance between humans and the Killilords.

His expression changed at first serious, then strange, and finally he looked at Keigo Masaki and Casto, "So there's anything else we don't know?" ”

Casto was stunned for a moment, then he and Masaki Keigo looked at each other, and finally said with some difficulty, "How to say it, I can only tell you that I can't guarantee that humanity will definitely develop any empire, but if it just ends up together, it really won't be a problem."

As long as he goes to give the conch a kick now, even the Killielodes will have to die with the humans, right?
