Chapter 176: Original Sin

Everything that followed, as if to verify Leon's guesses, after Sivir had clearly memorized the formulas, the action was interrupted, and the A-class archives welcomed another uninvited guest, Sivir quickly hid in a small room on the side, and watched through the crack in the door as a heavily armed researcher transferred the black forehead to a sealed hovercar and took it away. The man was wearing a full biocontainment suit, and he couldn't see his face at all, or his face was deliberately shielded.

After that memory point, Sivir never saw Black Forehead again.

"Where do you think Blackforehead has been taken?" Firebird asked Leon some time later, and at this moment they were watching Xavier and K arguing fiercely about the plan to "go back", this was the first time they had such a heated argument since they were together, Leon looked at the hideous self without blinking, and slowly replied:

"This memory is completely divided, the person who made the memory deliberately separated Sivir and Hei Forehead completely, they have almost no intersection points, it seems reasonable, but it doesn't make sense at all, as for Hei Forehead, his experience is probably much weirder and more terrifying than Sivir, otherwise he wouldn't have changed so much" Leon finished with a calm face, and then stopped discussing this issue, the firebird knew that Leon must have secretly made some kind of decision, he recognized who he hated, or what he was determined to do, he would not discuss it with others at all. This is very similar to the K that Sivir knew, but at the moment, this is the only thing that is similar between them.

Sivir's last memory came very suddenly, it was a strange-looking office, all the furniture was furnished and full of old-fashioned atmosphere, there was a natural intimate feeling, such as wooden tables and chairs, such as cotton curtains, and even a pot of rare orchids blooming.

The hard K took Sivir here and left, without saying anything superfluous, Sivir's face was not good, and she was in a bad mood, she had to leave, it was K's own order.

After sitting for a while, Sivir became interested in the potted flower, there were no extra plants in the insulated city, because those things also had a chance of being infected, not by being changed by themselves, but by becoming the source of infection of the ghost clan, so she had not seen a green plant for a long, long time, and couldn't help but be deeply fascinated by the purple tenderness.

"You like Yulan too?" a deep, gentle voice appeared behind Sivir, and a beautiful woman walked in outside the door, with a plump figure and smooth straight red hair, and crescent-shaped eyes that seemed to smile even when they were calm. She was a higher rank than Sivir and was a general.

"Dorothy, she's finally appeared" Leon muttered to himself, staring intently at the mysterious woman, Sivir spent a lot of virtual time in this closed fortress, but it was the first time to meet this key person, Dorothy brought Leon not only the current trouble, but even can be traced back many years, because all signs show that MGM was ordered by this woman to bring Leon to Lake, and subtly guide him to this point.

The two women chatted casually, and the Sivir in front of her was already a kind old lady in her fifties, who looked much older than Dorothy, but the rhythm and direction of the whole conversation were involuntarily going on with Dorothy's rhythm, which was something that could not be changed by memory, and it was an experience honed by the years.

Dorothy talks eloquently, having instilled in Sivir the rules and stakes of time travel in the middle of the chatter, and she describes the ills that arise when time goes back:

"Everything will go along a predetermined route that humans don't know about, but the interference of time travel will put a lot of traps on this route, and as a time traveler, the more you describe and warn about the future, the bigger the trap will become, and at a certain point, the line will become a dead end, that is, everyone will start looking for a new path to avoid mistakes, and at that point, the line will die"

Leon pouted noncommittally as he heard this, he understood that Sivir remembered this passage very well, but for now, it seemed that Leon and they still won.

This illusion says it all, doesn't it?

The question now is, for what purpose did Admiral Dorothy change Sivir's memory, or did he convey some important message?

"Daigo, you come to induce Xavier, I need her to strengthen this memory repeatedly, try to restore it as much as possible, all the details are very important" Leon observed back and forth throughout the room, Sivir was very impressed with this office, but most of the details were still blank.

On the left wall of the office is a bookcase, on which all the books are blurred, and even two are completely connected in gray.

The texture of the wooden filing cabinet was blurry, the style was not significant, and some of the bound papers thrown on it were completely blank, but Firebird was adamant that those things were something that Sivir should be able to remember, and the realism of this office was even more than that of the A-class archives, and the details here should be the most complete. The reason why there was a gap was completely because Sivir's memory was ignored, and perhaps deep down, she didn't think it mattered.

"But the human brain has strange abilities that you can't imagine, and anything you inadvertently aim at is actually memorized in your mind, but most of the time people ignore it, it's a natural inertia" The firebird chattered while looking at a photo on the wall, there were only two blurry shadows, but it could be seen that they were all wearing military uniforms, and it was a strange lichen color, old-fashioned and indescribably depressed, the firebird pondered for a long time and didn't figure out what kind of military uniform this was, could there be such an ugly military uniform in the future?

On the left side of the photo is a military map, Leon is carefully observing this rudimentary floor plan, and then finds that this thing is actually made of paper, not an image displayed on the wall, obviously Sivir is also very curious about this, so he is impressed, the people of the Falling Moon Era have never seen such a large piece of paper products, thinking of this, Leon suddenly realized a strange phenomenon, there are a lot of paper products in this room!

Paper, which became a rare thing after the Age of the Moonfall, and books that had been preserved from the old era became a precious luxury in the reserve, and Lyon believed that in the future of all electronics, there would never be a large number of precious trees cut down to produce paper that was not needed by humans.

"I think I understand," Leon said suddenly, "it's over, it's time to have to face each other"

。。。

The black forehead remained silent, he looked at the pile of evidence in front of him, and was silent.

Leon searched for a long time in his mind before he figured out that the neatly bound paper was called "magazine", something that had completely disappeared 200 years before the Age of the Falling Moon, when there were already subcutaneous implanted receivers, no one would buy paper news, and the printing press had long since entered the museum, and only a few of the rich would print some small things by themselves as a personal hobby, so the super large map could only be the product of the printing press before it disappeared.

By all indications, the place where Sivir last stayed was in the past, not the future.

As for the specific time in the past, it will be carefully analyzed, but at least for now, what can be proven is that both Sivir and Black Forehead have been deceived, most of their memories are false and indoctrinated, only a small amount of information is real, and even whether the time travel machine has really been activated remains to be investigated.

"What the hell have you been through? Is it really hard to express?, or is it a lack of confidence in me?" Leon faced Black Forehead alone, it was a problem between them, and he had a feeling that the only thing that made Black Forehead hurt so much was himself.

Daigo's illusion is not effective against Black Forehead at all, and it is even possible to be counterattacked by his subconscious, the consequences of that will be unimaginable, and the energy difference between them is not a little bit, so Leon can only let Black Forehead speak for himself like a frightened child.

They had been talking like this for hours, and most of course it was Leon singing a one-man show.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come back at all" Black Forehead said suddenly, his usually calm gaze showing a deep sense of pain, which surprised Leon,

"Tell me, what's wrong with your existence?" Leon felt more and more like a psychiatrist, a profession that had been fashionable in the old days.

"If it's true that we're going back in time, as you say, then I'm sure I'm the 'original sin' of that biological war a thousand years later!" Black Forehead took a deep breath, as if saying this sentence consumed a lot of his physical strength, "I brought the mutant source back. In more than 20 years of confinement, I was taken countless cell tissues, blood samples, and then watched them use those black cells to make all kinds of cell protoplasms, and then mutate into all kinds of strange things, there are microorganisms, mitochondria, and even infected viruses" He looked at Leon pitifully, and finally said: "And you should realize that I am a human 'ghost race', and before I appeared, they didn't have any formed 'ghost spirit tribe' biological samples!"

Leon listened to these words in shock, he suddenly understood that Black Forehead had actually realized that their time travel was back in time, and the chaotic clues and ideas were shuttling in Leon's mind, the past and the present, the present and the future, intricately intersecting, the huge spiral tower was still turning unhurriedly, but it quickly lit up a little light at an intersection point, but that light was so unbelievable, Leon repeatedly confirmed the result, and finally he stumbled and said to Black Forehead:

"I think you should put down the burden of this eternal crime, maybe you did bring back the source cells of the so-called 'ghost clan', but the future war has nothing to do with you"

Blackforehead looked at Leon with a complicated expression, "Are you comforting me?"

"No, I want to tell you a fact," Leon blinked, as if to verify that he was conscious, and finally said:

"The Ghost Race is made by humans themselves"
