Just when Liu Xing was about to send a text message, Shimada shook his head and said, "Liu Xing, don't be so anxious. This is just a conjecture now. I can't guarantee that Ii Naole came here just to open the fantasy door."
The door to dreams, so I think Liu Xing, you should not tell your partners this news in advance, because it will affect some of their decisions."
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and put down the phone.
Just as Shimada said with a smile, if he tells Yin En and others this news, then there is a high probability that Yin En and others will change a lot of plans because of this news. After all, the old rulers are about to take advantage of them, so then
Are you still in the mood to care about the dispute over the head of the Shimazu family?
If the news is true, then it's okay. If Ii Naoraku really wants to escape to Ryukyu, then this matter may be a bit troublesome.
Therefore, Liu Xing finally decided to wait for news from Shi Zixuan to see if Shi Zixuan could determine the dynamics of Ii Naole and Liu Xuyu.
However, Liu Xing's face was still filled with two words - uneasiness.
"Liu Xing, don't worry too much, because as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Although the unknown old ruler created a group of good thugs for himself, their number is still too small.
By then, as long as the old ruler does not die personally, then its believers will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by all the secret churches and mythical creatures on the island country, so although they may cause some trouble, they will soon
It's been calmed down." Yui Matsui comforted Liu Xing.
Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said: "Actually, I also know that as long as this unknown old ruler doesn't personally take action, his followers will not be able to make any trouble, and in the end they will only occupy Kagoshima City for a few days.
...But the problem is that ordinary humans cannot accept this news. As long as the group of traitors occupy Kagoshima City, the entire world will know the existence of the secret church and mythical creatures, and even the news of the Old Ones.
They will all be known to the public, and I can’t imagine what the world will look like by then.”
To this day, Liu Xing still remembers the year 2000 in the real world. Because many well-known predictions mentioned that the year 2000 might be the end of the world, serious disasters occurred in many places around the world on New Year's Eve.
Riot incidents, although these incidents do not exclude the possibility of malicious guidance, it also shows that human beings are actually creatures that can easily fall into chaos.
So when Liu Xing thought that the existence of mythical creatures and the Old Ones was made public, then there might be no need for the Old Ones to appear, and the population of this parallel world might drop by more than half. After all, all humans need to know these things.
If the news passes a sanity check, even if only one tenth of the human population falls into a temporary state of madness, there will still be hundreds of millions of people...
"Yeah..." Shimada stopped laughing, and finally could only shake his head, "I still remember that more than ten years ago, I went to Miskatonic University because I was a human there.
My friend is a professor, and he also knows my true identity, so he invited me to conduct some genetic research to confirm the genetic differences between ghouls and humans. As a result, the experiment failed. It can be said that
Nothing has been researched."
"But while I was waiting for the results of the experiment, I went to be an auditor when I had nothing to do, and then I listened to a class on hysteria. The teacher in this class put forward a point of view, that is, all humans may suffer from hysteria, but because
For some reason, hysteria is hidden in deep consciousness, so humans like to have all kinds of fantasies, but they will not go crazy because of these fantasies."
"But because humans have always been a social animal, humans are born with a certain degree of conformity. Therefore, humans are just like the herbivores in the African savannah. They can easily be scared by a lion and run around.
, even if you know that the lion can't catch you, the others around you have already started to run away, and you will subconsciously run with it. This is also the reason for many stampede accidents - although I don't know why.
I do this, but since everyone around me is doing it, then I should do it too, and there is also hysteria in the deep consciousness of human beings at work."
"When a person suddenly starts running in a public place, people around him will wonder why he is running. Most people will think that he is in an emergency, but some people may have a hysterical attack and think of something bad.
What happened - he knew there was a bomb nearby! So the hysterical person also ran away, which then caused more people to have hysterical attacks. Some scary pictures automatically appeared in their minds, so they also wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
, so he also started running, and in the end everyone present would subconsciously start running along with him."
"Finally, the teacher believed that human hysteria should be the same as conformity, and it is likely to be preserved in the process of evolution, because one of the biggest differences between humans and animals is that they have learned to make and use tools, so humans are
How did you come up with the idea of making and using tools? It should be that a certain monkey or gorilla had a hysterical attack, suddenly performed some strange behaviors, and then pieced together two unrelated things, and the result was a new tool.
As a result, the brain subconsciously thinks that hysteria is a good gene and is worth passing on."
Hearing this, Liu Xing was already a little confused. However, Liu Xing remembered that he had heard some similar arguments when he was in college. Some people believed that all mental illnesses in humans are not diseases, but the further development of the human brain.
the inevitable result of time.
"Liu Xing, you should know that there is a pineal gland on the human forehead, which looks like an upright eye. Although it has no effect on human beings today, since it exists, it means that this organization
It should have been useful to humans in the past, but it was hidden as humans evolved." Shimada smiled and continued, "In some recent news, I heard that some of you humans have completely degenerated.
Organs begin to evolve again."
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Yes, I have also heard some related news... But having said that, can I take the liberty to ask Shimada Xiao how long have you lived? I remember your food
The zombie clan can also live forever."
Shimada Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I know what Liu Xing you want to ask me. Yes, our ghoul family, like most other mythical creatures, can live forever, or live forever.
It can be regarded as the lowest threshold for mythical creatures, because only if a race is no longer troubled by death, then this race can evolve more powerful abilities and create more powerful technology; so I no longer know how many years I have lived.
, but I still remember that I was one of the first ghouls to set foot on the earth.”
"Because of the Yi people, Liu Xing, you should have heard how chaotic the earth was in ancient times. Various mythical creatures and the old rulers were divided on the earth, fighting each other to death every day, and like the ancient
The mythical creatures on the technological side such as Mi.G are also keen on using primitive creatures on the earth for genetic research and have created a large number of new races. There are hundreds of them that I know of alone, but in the end they can reproduce.
There are only a few races left today, the most famous of which are the Shoggoths and the Qiuqiu."
"As for you humans, you are actually affected by those mythical creatures, because although the races they created have perished, some special genes of those races have survived in the descendants of other races due to hybridization.
Therefore, if we insist on saying so, all living things on the earth today are related, because from a genetic point of view, all living things on the earth have some similarities... But to be honest, you humans are indeed more lucky.
, the genes created are just enough to make you what you are now, without evolving into a gorilla or a monkey."
"So how did we humans become the overlords of the earth? Logically speaking, as long as a race of mythical creatures stood up to stop the rise of humans, then humans would not be able to occupy the earth as they do now."
Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.
Shimada Xiao and Matsui Yui looked at each other, and neither spoke for a moment.
It seems that there should be some secrets in this.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing could only analyze it by himself: "Is it because many old rulers on the earth have been sealed that you gave up your plan to control the earth?"
"Roughly the same."
Matsui Yui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly replied: "There are too many sealed old rulers on the earth, and the locations where they are sealed can be said to be the most important locations on the earth, such as the ancient city of R'lyeh.
Below is a rich mining area. If the great Cthulhu hadn't been sleeping here, the group of MiG might have swarmed in and turned the rich mining area upside down. As for the seal of the old domination on the earth,
The area with the largest number of tourists - the Severn Valley, where there is a naturally formed underground labyrinth hidden underground, where a large number of natural materials and treasures grow. For mythical creatures like us, eating just a few can double our strength."
"To put it bluntly, all the resources on the earth that are useful to us and can be mined have been collected, so most of the mythical creatures have left the earth and gone to other planets to continue competing for resources. Only a few of them are still left for various reasons.
On Earth... Well, the main reason is because those sealed Old Ones, like Matsui Yui, stayed on Earth to protect and awaken the Old Ones they believed in, and we ghouls
It is to monitor the dynamics of these old rulers so that we can adjust our arrangements on other planets, so for a long time, we, the ghoul family, only left a few dozen people on the earth."
Shimada laughed and continued.
Hearing this, a sentence appeared in Liu Xing's mind - the tiger is not at home, the monkey dominates.
"But Liu Xing, don't underestimate yourself. In fact, you humans have developed into what you are now in such a short period of time, which is enough to surprise us." Matsui Yui pointed to a shotgun hanging on the wall and said:
"In the beginning, we mythical creatures didn't care about the rise of you humans at all. Because we didn't think you had the chance to become a new race of mythical creatures. The reason is very simple. Although the genes of both sides can be made through crossbreeding,
The advantages are passed on to the next generation, but it also makes the genes of the next generation more fragile and difficult to reproduce and continue. For example, the mules and hybrid rice that you humans are familiar with have many advantages, but they cannot reproduce the next generation."
"Although you humans and other animals are in a better situation and have the ability to reproduce the next generation, your lifespan is very severely limited. Unless you undergo genetic modification, it is impossible for all of you to reach the age of 100.
This is a threshold, so we never thought of stopping you from the beginning, so except for a few mythical creatures who will come to you for a change of taste... just like you humans are used to eating pork, beef and mutton.
, I occasionally eat chicken, duck, and fish for a change.”
"But what we didn't expect was that after a long period of evolution, you actually possessed wisdom comparable to our mythical creatures, and in just a few thousand years, you created all kinds of things that can harm us.
Weapons, so when we reacted, we found that we could no longer deal with you, or we were unwilling to pay a high price to eliminate you."
"For example, if we deep divers operating on the earth gather together to attack you humans, although we can turn you into history in the end, we will also suffer heavy losses. The worst possibility is that there will not be one out of ten. After all,
If you humans go crazy and detonate all nuclear weapons, then all the deep divers participating in the ground attack will definitely die. At that time, other mythical creatures will also take the opportunity to cause trouble for us, such as the mortal enemy of our deep divers, Bayaki.
They will definitely take advantage of it."
"But the most important thing is that now many mythical creatures are curious about your human genes, because except for the lower life span, other aspects are almost the same as us mythical creatures, so deep divers like us are
I thought of intermarrying with you to see if there was any way to create a new race, and the result was the failed product of deep diver hybrids... In a sense."
