Transcript of the first day.

……

"Name?"

"Lin Heng."

"Occupation?"

"Former member of the Behavior Analysis Section of the Technical Department of the Provincial Department of Qingjiang Province, a first-class police officer."

"Why kill the victim?"

“…… There are many complex reasons. ”

"Complicated?"

“…… That's right. This includes personal reasons, as well as other factors. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

“…… I haven't sorted out my thoughts yet, sorry. ”

"Okay...... So, when did you start killing your victims? ”

“…… It was probably after I got the terrible death message from the 'Gray Shadow Divine Messenger' phone, and I knew that Yang Luo was the creator of it all. ”

"'Grey Shadow Emissary'...... Is it the gray dog who can speak human words in the transcript submitted earlier? ”

“…… Yes. ”

"Is there a transcendent being...... By the way, Officer Lin Heng - it is said that when you first came out of the bottom of the Broken Dragon Valley, your whole body was covered in bones, and you looked like a skeleton...... Why is it so normal now? ”

“…… This is my ability, called 'super-regeneration', as long as I still have a part of the cell tissue alive, I can rely on it to quickly spread and regenerate other cell structures in a short period of time, and choose the direction of the main derived body tissues - whether it is bones, muscles, or other cell tissues, I can derive. ”

"I see, does it seem like you've developed after you were imprisoned and readjusted your body structure?"

"—that's right."

"Okay, I see...... Well, let's get back to business. Officer Lin Heng, how did you kill Yang Luo? ”

"When I learned that Yang Luo was about to go north to the capital of God, there was an extra email in my mailbox, which showed the starting station of his northward journey and the platform where he stopped in the middle, so I used Broken Dragon Mountain Station as the place to kill him."

"At this point, we have restored your email through technical means and found that there was indeed a record of a draft being deleted that night. However, the content of this draft email, because the mailbox company's backend has been hacked, the relevant data in the server has been completely erased and cannot be recovered. But this should be harmless—then the next question I want to ask is, Officer Lin Heng, why did you choose Broken Dragon Mountain as the ambush location? ”

“…… Because at the foot of Broken Dragon Mountain, there is a narrow valley bottom, and the air circulation is not smooth. And I know that the nature of Yang Luo's extraordinary ability is related to flames. Although he and I are transcendental—but because I am also transcendent, I understand that transcendents still have some of the physiological needs of human beings, such as the need for oxygen to breathe. ”

"Tell me more."

"—Transcendents need oxygen to breathe. So when he uses his flame ability, he consumes a lot of oxygen in the air, creating a zone that blocks breathing, thus creating a chance for me to kill him. However, I just wanted to take advantage of his ability to resist his flames and kill him by surprise...... But I didn't expect his flame temperature to be too high, so I had to cut off my tail to survive, pretend to be dead, and then use my 'super regeneration' ability to lurk and assassinate him from behind. ”

"Well, the technicians later examined the fire and found that the maximum temperature in the center of the fire was six thousand degrees, which is enough to evaporate the human body and heat the water vapor in the body into plasma - do you mean that you survived the flames?"

"The temperature of his flame was as high as 6,000 degrees Celsius, but the temperature of the peripheral explosion was only about two or three thousand degrees - but the moment his ability exploded, my upper body was indeed completely under the cautery of 6,000 degrees, and just as the plasma and heat were about to penetrate my whole body, I used 'super-regeneration' to create a circumferential bone blade within my waist, completely slicing my upper and lower body, and then threw it high with momentum. Because the remaining body parts were completely reduced to a circle of bone tissue at the same time, because the temperature of the peripheral fire was not so high, the remaining body tissue was not vaporized in the first place. ”

"- Wait, Officer Lin Heng, if according to what you just said, your upper body was destroyed by the heat and plasma in the first place, then wouldn't your brain also die at the same time? Could it be ...... Even if you destroy your brain, will you still be able to survive? ”

“…… That's right. ”

“…… Officer Lin Heng, I'm asking a question. As you just said, your 'hyper-regeneration' allows you to quickly spread and regenerate other cellular structures in a short period of time as long as there is still a part of the cell tissue alive. So what is the minimum amount of somatic cells you need to complete 'super-regeneration'? ”

“…… Approximately...... ......"

"One in 10,000? As long as you have 1 in 10,000 body cells alive, will you be able to regenerate? ”

“…… No, I guess, as long as there are 10,000 cells left, I'll be able to recover again. ”

Transcript of the next day.

"Hello, Officer Lin Heng, I am today's censor, but you can treat our communication today as a daily conversation, and you don't have to be so formal."

“…… Hello. ”

"Take it easy, yesterday my colleague asked you about the incident at the foot of the Dragon Mountain and the relevant situation, today we can spread out from the incident itself and talk about it a little bit - first of all, from yesterday's unfinished answer, right? Officer Lin Heng, do you have an answer to the motive for killing the victim today? ”

“…… I'm pretty much in order. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

“…… First, Yang Luo has committed many murders and killed innocent people, and I think those deaths need to be repaid. ”

"That is, the primary reason is justice."

“…… Second, my partner died in the explosion he made. ”

"The second reason, then, is personal hatred."

“…… Third, I think Yang Luo has been intoxicated with power. He wants to transcend all rules with his power until the whole country and the world are suppressed by such power. Therefore, I hope that by killing him, I can provide a lesson for other transcendents that may emerge in the future—even if transcendents sin, they will be destroyed. ”

"—So the third reason is to be open-minded."

“…… But ......"

“…… But? ”

“…… But all three of these were what I thought before I killed him—I was deeply ingrained in my belief in them. However...... After killing him, I kept wondering, could this just be my personal self-satisfaction? When I use my supernatural powers to kill him without arrest and trial, am I not also crossing the boundaries of the rules? ”

“……”

“…… It's just that if I don't kill him, then he won't be punished, and he will be punished by the Ming canon—even if he is caught, it will cost at least thousands of lives...... Wouldn't that be the more serious consequence? These thoughts intertwined in my mind and made me feel a sense of contradiction. ”

"—So, do you have a solution to these contradictions?"

“…… I haven't found it now. Extraordinary power itself is something that transcends the existing rules, and its birth will inevitably bring about the impact and destruction of the social structure. So think about it...... I only had a few thoughts. ”

"—what thoughts?"

“…… I have heard that the forces that are fully promoting cooperation with Yang Luo are Xu Jingyuan and the Xu family behind it. And they seem to want to obtain new transcendent seeds through Yang Luo and cultivate their own family's transcendentals. ”

“…… This one...... Is it something that can be said? ”

"To a certain extent, they are not more noble than Yang Luo, and they may not have done less than Yang Luo behind the law...... It's just that they're better at circumventing the law and don't get their hands dirty, so they look clean......"

“…… Officer Lin Heng, please pay attention to your wording! ”

"So, I found out - in this world, there is not only one kind of transcendent who breaks the rules, but the transcendent is too conspicuous and incompatible with the existing world, which is why it is so abrupt and crazy...... What really breaks the rules is actually selfish desires - whether it is an extraordinary person like Yang Luo or a family like the Xu family, as long as selfish desires exist, and there is space and environment for them to develop their selfish desires, then they will always be able to stand alone. ”

“…… Officer Lin Heng, you ......"

"In a bygone era, there would be no problem with such selfish desires even if they multiplied—because the essence of human life is still equal, and any family will have ups and downs over the course of a few generations. But...... Once associated with the transcendent, it's completely different. In the times to come, gods will descend and all sorts of transcendent beings will emerge. If the transcendent is combined with power, there may not be a 'family' or 'god race' who will live forever in the heavens. So...... I am willing to devote myself to the 'transcendent plan' of the state, even if it is to dissect my limbs, as long as I can cultivate a transcendent being that belongs to the entire nation, independent and not controlled by the gods." But...... I have two conditions. ”

“…… What conditions? ”

"1. Any transcendent existence must be reported to the archives and recorded, and if there is any violation, it shall be dealt with according to the law; 2. No individual family member shall privately pray to the gods in order to be extraordinary. Any matter related to transcendent gods should be regulated by the state, and anyone who violates it can correct the law. ”

“…… Officer Lin Heng, don't forget, you are also a member of the transcendental, and you are the one who should be most constrained by these two rules. ”

"—yes, so I am willing to be bound by them and be the object of their regulation."

“…… So, did you know that the testimony you said above sounds like a threat? ”

“…… I know. And I am willing to bear any consequences of these words. ”
