Keigo Masaki's underground undersea secret laboratory in the Pacific Ocean is a fully enclosed laboratory that doesn't even have a door, and from the beginning of its construction, it was only intended to allow superpowers to enter.

Under normal circumstances, there must be many problems with such a laboratory, and the infrastructure alone is enough to make people sweat, whether it is water, electricity, signals, maintenance, or whatever, this underwater secret laboratory is no less difficult to build than a space station, or in a sense, Masaki Keigo built a laboratory on the bottom of the sea according to the standards of a small space station in the universe.

That's Keigo Masaki, whether it's the space station or this underwater laboratory, it's not a particularly difficult thing,

In Masaki Keigo's heart, his brain is his strongest ability, and the ensuing status and wealth are his second strongest abilities, as for the power he once pursued frantically, after getting it, Masaki Keigo feels that this kind of power is nothing more than that,

Especially. Now on this earth, I don't know why, all kinds of people with special abilities are emerging one after another, and Masaki Keigo can endure that it takes him decades to find strength, but he can't bear it, and what he has worked so hard to get has become unspecial.

Although it is because of responsibility that he has come to this day, if one day in the future, the people of the whole earth really gain special abilities, then it is likely that Keigo Masaki will feel ashamed because of this, and take the initiative to spend countless more hours to find a way to completely eliminate the light particles in his body.

It's like that secret underwater base, when he was the only one who knew about this place, he used to come here often, but when a lot of people knew about this place, he began to dislike it again.

In particular, after Hiroya Fujinomiya briefly took over this underwater laboratory last time and connected the so-called will of the earth through this underwater base, Keigo Masaki had an inexplicable dislike for this place.

Even he can't tell what the reason for this dislike is, of course, if he is willing to ask a few otaku he will find that his thinking is somewhat close to . It was NTR by Hiroya Fujimiya.

Whether it's the underwater laboratory or the will of the earth, it's obvious that he started the research first with Keigo Masaki, but as soon as Hiroya Fujinomiya came, he took over all this with his rich experience in this area, and Keigo Masaki has never suffered such humiliation in his life.

His subconscious made him feel a little more disgusted with this place.

Of course, if Casto knew Masaki Keigo's thoughts, he would definitely laugh at him, after all, in the original book, this is how Dagu was hated by Masaki Keigo.

Whether it's ultra-ancient research or light, it's obvious that he started chasing it first, but as soon as Dagu came, he took over all this with his super affinity and compatibility for light, and Masaki Keigo had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

It's been a long, long time since Keigo Masaki came to this underwater laboratory, and of course, the reason why he didn't come was in addition to the psychological factor mentioned above, in fact, there was a practical factor, and that was . Casto has been in this underwater laboratory for a month.

Casto lay on the back of the chair, silently looking at the deep sea outside the glass in front of him, squinting his eyes, feeling that the whole person was very relaxed,

Although the feeling on the surface is similar to when he was in the spaceship, this kind of happiness of being a salted fish alone is far from being invincible on the spaceship, "That guy, was beaten by the emperor?!" Ahahahahaha!! ”

"Hello! Mr. Keigo Masaki sent a message that he would be in the lab later. Suddenly, the mechanical sound of an AI sounded, and Casto froze for a moment, then replied, "Tell him that I'm busy right now, let him."

Before Casto could finish speaking, a ray of light fell from the sky, and Keigo Masaki kicked him on Castor's recliner, kicking him straight from the back of the chair to the ground.

Rubbing his ass, Casto sighed, I have to say, some things have to be earthling.

In the two universes, there are not many people who will beat him casually like this, but there are two on the earth alone, one is Keigo Masaki, and the other is Megumi Middle, it can only be said that once the relationship between human beings is good, there will be many ways to express love.

But I have to say that compared to the life in the universe next door, it is obviously the 'people' in this world that he likes more than others, "The familiar temper, I miss you to death, even if those guys become humans, they still don't have the crazy feeling of you." ”

"What kind of mess?" Keigo Masaki glanced at Casto, "You won't be at the bottom of the sea for a month and be eroded by the darkness, will you?" ”

Keigo Masaki only used one sentence to make Casto's original emotion disappear, Casto scratched his head on the ground, and then turned over silently, "I'm going to rest, come back to me tomorrow if you're okay." ”

Keigo Masaki looked at Casto, who was chrysalis like a salted fish, and angrily lifted the other party up, and roared angrily, "The earth has just entered a period of great development, and you have begun to hide in the sea, can you have some ambition!" ”

Casto reluctantly broke free of Keigo Masaki's hand, then returned to the recliner and turned his head to look at Keigo Masaki, "Don't mention it, just tell me what you're going to do, right?" ”

"I discussed with Old Man Sawai that TPC is entering the universe faster than expected, and maybe we need to make some changes."

Casto nodded, and was just about to speak, but Keigo Masaki took the lead and said, "By the way, you said earlier that you were going to monitor the Dark Dominator at the bottom of the sea for a while, did you have any research results?" ”

Keigo Masaki looked at Casto very seriously, he always felt that Casto was a little weird, and wanted to make sure that he had missed something.

"Oh, there's some research." Surprisingly, Casto actually opened the computer of the deep sea laboratory and clicked on the folder on the desktop.

"The Dark Ruler is a mysterious "lifeform" that flew to Earth from the universe, and is suspected to have plural existence.

When it is active, it emits a special energy source "dark energy", which has terrifying vitality and can carry out powerful evolution of ordinary life forms on the earth, and the monsters that evolve are called dark minions.

The so-called servants of darkness are the earth's lifeforms whose genetic material has been changed by dark energy, of course, the Gorzan, Melba, and Zoga we know are originally the earth's original super monsters,

Therefore, the Servants of Darkness are the products of the dark energy attached to the life forms of the earth.

The horror is that this transformation is still ongoing, and a large number of terrestrial life forms have been infected in the deep sea.

But fortunately, although the dark energy can make people feel fearful, this fear cannot directly feed back the servants of darkness and the darkness itself in the form of energy.

In addition, the organisms that have evolved by the genetic factors changed by dark energy tend to evolve in the direction of 'dominance enhancement', rather than the so-called 'imitation evolution', that is, they cannot obtain a new evolutionary direction through the transmission of information.

"More than half of it is something that has been researched badly." Masaki Keigo quickly finished reading the documents on the screen and pouted, most of them were already public information, "However, in the end, although I don't know how you came up with this direction for the study of fear, it is indeed more or less, and it is somewhat novel." ”

Casto breathed a sigh of relief, silently thinking in his heart that it was good that someone was on duty these days, shaking his head, Casto quickly changed the topic, and said to Masaki Keigo, "That's almost it, specifically study yourself and find someone to follow up when the time comes, let's talk about you and the old man Sawai, why do you want to reform again?" ”

"Again, it's not quite accurate, it's the first time I've been involved in this kind of work at TPC." Keigo Masaki shook his head, his relationship with TPC and Sawai had only recently improved.

"It's not all because of you, you remember the chaos that was in the universe before, right?" Keigo Masaki asked.

"Of course, the servants of the Dark Dominator, the Sophia Lifeform, the Naga fleet, and the Mechanical Island, this matter is not a secret in the TPC, and there are many people who mobilized at that time." Casto thought for a moment and said.

"And Torrecchia and the lunatics he brought." Keigo Masaki added, "Except for the guy who is now going to be a monk, everyone else has left. ”

Casto nodded, even if he didn't leave at first, he had to leave after he went around in a big circle to hand over the engineers of the little golden family to the future version of Torrecchia, and of course, he took those crazy critics with him when he left,

I just don't know if that guy from Serebro can still meet Gagura now.

Casto subconsciously scratched his head, it was a bit outrageous to think so, these two opponents who should have met a little later, but they had dealt with him.

"Do you think that if there was a war of that level in the universe before, can the earthlings still develop the solar system in a step-by-step manner?" Keigo Masaki looked at Casto very dissatisfied,

"In the past, although the earthlings knew that there was malice in the universe, the enemies that appeared in the form of a single person could not make humans perceive the crisis after all, especially when the power of humans on the earth was still strong, and those monsters could not make humans feel urgent."

"But cosmic warfare is different, even if ordinary people on the earth don't know, but all the people in the Space Development Agency, the Delta Space Station, the Lunar Base, and the Police Bureau will subconsciously think when doing things, shouldn't the Earth's outer space development be accelerated?"

"That's normal, too." Casto nodded, and Keigo Masaki sighed, "Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the Kiri Elrod people were our allies, and humanity had acquired a planet and so many fleets in a distant place, I really wouldn't want to let humanity start moving towards the universe so soon." ”

"It's not bad for two years." Castor looked at Keigo Masaki, "You know that, right? Even if there is no cosmic war this time, it will only be a matter of ten years for human beings to enter the universe, and for human beings, the difference between ten years and two or three years is so big. ”

"The problem is that human beings have not yet fully adapted, and when it comes to the great development of the universe, the times can change quickly, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, stability is the most important thing."

Keigo Masaki glanced at Castor, who was about to lie down again, angrily, "Once the evolution rate of human civilization exceeds the ability of ordinary people to bear, then the next wave of layoffs, unemployment, bankruptcy, and social unrest will inevitably occur, you understand?" ”

"Okay, so what does this matter have to do with me, and what are you coming to me for?"

Masaki Keigo, who was obviously indignant before, suddenly became a little embarrassed after hearing Casto's question, he turned his head and snorted coldly, "Hmph! It's the old man Sawai who is coming to you, how can I, Keigo Masaki, come to you?"

"Good, good." Casto shrugged helplessly, "It's the old man Sawai who is coming to me, so, what is the old man looking for me?" I'll start by saying okay, if you want to hire Kiri Elrod, you'll go to them yourself, I've been too lazy to deal with non-human beings lately. ”

Keigo Masaki was stunned for a moment, then looked Casto up and down, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, "Forget it, that's okay, Megumi Middlea asked you when the vacation will end, it's been a month, it's time to go back to work." ”

"Wait, what's the matter with Sister Meguma?" Casto looked at Keigo Masaki with an incredible look in his eyes, "Are you really going to go to the Kiri Elrod people again?" Aren't they now working on the Naga home planet? Can't you let them rest well? ”

"No, our old man Sawai wants to ask you." Keigo Masaki's face suddenly twisted together, and then turned red, "Old man Sawai is thinking"

"Well, if you don't want to say it, I can call the old man directly." Casto looked at Masaki Keigo a little nervously, he was afraid that this guy would suffocate himself to death, if that was the case, then the emperor's position in the black history shame ranking might not be guaranteed.

"No! Who do you think you're talking to? I" Keigo Masaki opened his mouth and shouted, "Old man Sawai and I just want to ask you!" Since you can find a bunch of crazy people, can you find some experienced cosmic professionals!!! ”

"You guys." Casto looked at Keigo Masaki in surprise, you must know that Keigo Masaki is a human supremacist, although the old man Sawai seems to be fair, but in essence, he also hopes that humans can dominate civilization, "You two. How could you come up with such a scheme to lure a wolf into the house?! ”

"What do you mean by luring a wolf into the house!?" Keigo Masaki raised his voice, but soon he lowered his voice again, and said to Castor in a rare sneaky tone, "It was also Old Man Sawai who reminded me that although the cosmic people sound terrifying, the human race now has the power to balance them, right?" ”

Keigo Masaki pointed at Castor and then at himself, then continued, "What do you say, you know the black trade? If you can."

Castor opened his mouth, he was a human supremacist! What else do you want to find some experienced cosmic people?

Looking for it?

Are you sure it's not a scam? Sneak attack?

Keigo Masaki looked at Casto's expression, then took a few deep breaths before re-opening, "Judging by your appearance, you should have resources in this area, right?" ”

Casto shook his head silently, and then nodded again, although it was a little troublesome, but he was indeed able to get such a person,

The big deal is to find a bunch of people from the Empire and ask Torrecchia to deliver them.

"This is also what the old man Sawai reminded me that the survival of human beings in the universe is limited by physiological functions, which is actually very difficult, even if we have mastered the technology of atmospheric modification, if we want to start working directly, we must go through a transition period."

"If this transition period is completed by human beings themselves, then the amount of work and difficulty are very large, but if we can find a group of experienced cosmic people to open up the wasteland for human beings, then both the time and the difficulty will be greatly reduced."

"After they finish clearing the wasteland, we will send them away, and then send our own people to the universe, although at that time human beings will still have to start learning some knowledge again, but you should understand the difference between crossing the river by feeling the stones and crossing the river directly, right?"

"Wait?" Kasto suddenly interrupted Masaki, "But how do you hide it from the others?" ”

"It's easier than you think to hide this kind of thing." Keigo Masaki said a little unnaturally, "Control the Internet and public opinion, then make some illusions, and finally give a plausible conclusion, in short, the method is not as complicated as you think." ”

Casto looked Masaki Keigo up and down, and he suddenly remembered that Masaki Keigo was a guy who was able to hide from TPC and the local government and engage in underground excavation and monster manufacturing in Kumamoto City.

He always thought that this guy was very rigid and didn't know how to be flexible, but today's performance of Masaki Keigo really surprised him.

Has this guy's side as a villain finally been revealed? Is it because of the time? Is it because of his appearance? Or is it because .

Could it be because I've been with those crazy people for a long time before, and Keigo Masaki, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also learned from them, right?

The more Casto thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, knowing that when he first entered TPC, Keigo Masaki was still a relatively upright person, and this integrity even made him look like a positive character than Daikoto.

But this is also normal, since the kidnapping of himself and his contact with the Evolutionary Truster, everything has changed a long time ago,

Keigo Masaki saw the light in advance, saw the inheritors of different lights, and communicated and combined with the light early.

What's even more outrageous is that Dagu has also become his student, you must know that in the original world, it was because of Dagu's existence that Masaki Keigo would have that kind of extreme jealousy, and then go astray,

And none of this happened in this universe, not only did it not happen, but Keigo Masaki was obviously happier and more hopeful than the original timeline, and theoretically, the side of Keigo Masaki as a 'villain' in his body should not appear.

But he'd been with those people before.

Jumping sideways in the light and darkness repeatedly, once full of justice but corrupted by darkness, and wanting to repent but finding that his hands were stained with blood - Mizoro Ki Shinya

Named Cosmic Swordsman, he is actually a screaming star who is a cosmic musician and a cosmic idiot-Gagulas. Gagula

In order to protect the earth, he intends to destroy human civilization, and the radical earth genius - Fujimiya Hiroya

And the craziest guy, not the most powerful traitor in the Realm of Light, but the most outrageous criminal in the Realm of Light - Torrecchia

Staying with these people, and being with them when they are most confused, may indeed make some small changes in Masaki Keigo's thinking.

For example. Keigo Masaki is limited by his dignity as a human being, and once strictly restrained himself from using some means that go beyond the bottom line of morality.

But after coming into contact with those people, Keigo Masaki may have understood one thing, that is, in the universe, there are not so many moral bottom lines.

"So you're finally still wicked?"

"Evil fall?! I'm Keigo Masaki!! ”

Keigo Masaki took a deep breath and continued to explain, "I discussed with Old Man Sawai, we don't really want you to trick a wave of black slaves, after all, if the primitive accumulation is stained with blood, it will definitely be liquidated in the future.

We actually thought about it, you can find some people who can't survive, and when they finish their work for us, if they want, we can send them to Naga Star, which has been destroyed because of the original melee, but it is a habitable planet after all.

Now there are only Kiri Elrod and the Lightning Man, and if it is to be developed, I estimate that it will take at least ten years to see results, but if you can find some people who can't survive and send them to Naga when the time comes, everything will be much faster. ”

"Moreover, the Naga are not just a home planet, now that Sophia's lifeforms and servants of the Dark Ruler are still fighting the remnants of the Nagas in the universe, there will definitely be a lot of valuable things left behind, and if we don't pick up the things that no one wants, won't it be wasted?"

Well, a very familiar set of logic, Casto nodded, and then looked at Masaki Keigo, "You still have to learn from that old man in Sawai in the future, and his things are not very good, and they are used on those innocent cosmic people. It's hurtful! ”

Although he said that, Casto didn't remember what he had done in the empire not long ago, after all, although his consciousness was his at that time, his body was blue!

Keigo Masaki pursed his lips, when Casto said this, he already knew that this matter was probably settled, "That's it, go back early, it's a month to touch the fish?" Outrageous! ”

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Keigo Masaki turned into a flash and left the deep-sea laboratory.

And Casto also stretched and shook his head silently, he was also going to go, but before leaving.

Silently opened the file on the desktop, and pulled the list to the end at once, which was the part that Masaki Keigo hadn't seen before, and it was also the part that made Casto come back, but he still didn't leave immediately.

"I've checked for you, the big conch doesn't have much to do with the xenobiotic, it's still hello, you can stay in this universe, you know that the world where I and the xenobiotic beast are located doesn't want to say anything more, unlucky." ’

Silently deleting the file, Casto shook his head, "The third one?" I don't know what color this guy is. ”
