The chill of the morning is dissipating as the sun rises.
But Dongfang Ruo felt colder and colder in her heart... She never thought that the answer she would get after pursuing it all the way up to now would be like this.
This kind of confusion was something Dongfang Ruo had never experienced before, not even when she was fighting Angel of Law alone.
Because the enemy is clear, she just needs to fight.
But now, Dongfang Ruo has lost the definition of right and wrong, good and evil, and she can't even see clearly whether what she is doing is right...or wrong...
Just look at the rising sun in silence.
After a long time, Dongfang Ruo asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Lin Sen closed his eyes and sat quietly in the morning sun.
Hearing this question, he opened his eyes and said: "According to normal logic, we must first find out who is behind this third person. But after thinking about it for so long, I found that maybe the person who planned all this had already
This kind of leadership has evolved into a kind of belief, and we are all its followers, so... maybe if we want to change all this, we have to start with ourselves."
"Start by yourself? Reflect?" Dongfang Ruo looked at Lin Sen in confusion.
Lin Sen shook his head: "Reflection is based on self, but it is not that easy to convince yourself. Just like when so many of us gathered together to discuss how to complete the 'return home', did we realize that our own
How bloody was what was done?"
Dongfang Ruo was not directly involved at the beginning, but she was still very clear about returning home.
And after learning about this plan, Dongfang Ruo felt that the arbiter had changed. In other words, the faces of everyone who seemed to be busy were actually filled with a sense of morbid seriousness. They used doomsday and saving the world as their
An excuse to cover up the plan he is implementing called "Advent" which is actually a prelude to "extinction" to bury more than half of the human race on this planet.
"Don't you realize it?" Dongfang Ruo asked coldly.
Lin Sen said: "We are aware of it, but we choose to avoid it. In other words, from our own point of view, this avoidance is not only helpless, but also shameful, because our goal is more noble, we are a group of people who want to save the world.
"
Dongfang Ruo snorted disdainfully: "It's really great when you think about it."
Lin Sen also laughed, but it was a self-deprecating smile.
"Yes... he claims to be great, but he is no different from an executioner."
"But...what can we do? Even though so many cutting-edge scientific talents have gathered together, they still can't come up with an antidote. If 'Returning Home' can really ensure the continuation of humankind, maybe it's not worth it. Tsk...
... Put it this way, I feel that the old movie "Interstellar" is really far-sighted. It used lies as a prelude and then used a population bomb to continue human civilization, and all the remaining humans were silently sentenced to death..."
Dongfang Ruo couldn't continue talking, she lowered her head, held her hands together, and trembled slightly...
Lin Sen looked at her without comforting her or continuing. He closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.
After a while, when Dongfang Ruo raised her head again, she asked: "You are right, we may have really been used for so long, and I don't know when we started to gradually deviate from the nature of human beings.
But you have to make me think carefully about where I went wrong...I...I...really don't know."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Sen.
Lin Sen sat next to her. After hearing this, he opened his eyes and said, "Actually, it's not that complicated. The reflections on these confusions are much older than you and I, just like Iron Man and a series of superhero comics and movies.
, from the establishment of the Avengers to the Civil War, we can see our own shadow in them."
Dongfang Ruo didn't know anything about Marvel or anything like that, but she was more willing to listen at the moment, if not ask questions.
"Superheroes were great images that inspired the people at the beginning, but as their power grew stronger and the enemies they encountered became stronger, they changed from heroes to human 'gods' like Superman. They are protecting
This planet will inevitably bring disasters to innocent people. At this time, people no longer appreciate them, but begin to be jealous of them and fear them. This is just like the mutants in the X-Men. They
Before being unified and managed by the professor, he was always regarded as an alien and a threat, so in the end, whether it was the civil war between the Avengers, the separation of Magneto and the professor, or Batman fighting Superman with a human body, these were not for personal gain.
The excitement is for the audiences in the cinema, who are fighting for their own ideas and their own beliefs."
Lin Sen said a lot of things that seemed like heavenly scriptures to Dongfang Ruo, but she still understood what Lin Sen wanted to express.
She thought for a while and then said: "You mean... freedom and order?"
Lin Sen smiled. He admired Dongfang Ruo's extraordinary understanding.
"Yes, it is the confrontation between freedom and order. Among the powerful superheroes, some have ordinary origins and some are extremely wealthy. But when they become heroes, these things become no longer so important, because at this moment they
Having a more noble ideal is to defend justice, but guarding justice comes at a price. Even Superman is unable to save ordinary people who are about to die in every car accident. He may not even be able to protect his own lover.
Because he feels that he is a dazzling light, and the more dazzling the light, the purest darkness will be born!"
If Dongfang follows Lin Sen's wishes and begins to think about herself, will she be a superwoman in this world?
Is the so-called mysterious power she inherited is that light?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but remember the conversation between himself and Han Kongwen.
It didn't matter to Dongfang Ruo whether Han Kongwen, who was still wearing a mask, expressed her true side, but what was important was that Han Kongwen had clearly said that they had been afraid of Dongfang Ruo, so they tried every means
To deal with her, there was a terrifying evil existence like "Samuel".
'No wonder the master prevented me from leaving the Xuan'ao Sect...' Dongfang Ruo recalled the past... She once chose to abandon the master for love, but she never thought that Luo Shengtian might have expected from the beginning that one day Dongfang Ruo would
What have you been through...
"Are you saying...that such a terrifying evil was born because of my existence?" Dongfang Ruo looked at Lin Sen in confusion.
Lin Sen shook his head and said at the same time: "No, this is relative. Light and darkness, justice and evil are symmetrical existences. We cannot deny either side, but we must try our best to make this world under the blessing of justice.
You exist, so it is not because your existence has attracted evil, but because of the birth of evil that you bravely stood up. This is essentially different."
Dongfang Ruo could hear that this was comfort, but she felt even more confused because she already felt that this kind of confrontation was impossible to end and was almost infinite.
At this time, Lin Sen said: "But there is one thing that we may have misjudged from the beginning. This is the key point that leads to the infinity of our current situation."
"Which point?"
Lin Sen's eyes moved away from Dongfang Ruo. He looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "That means we have always regarded aliens as our enemies."
"Treat aliens as enemies..." Dongfang Ruo thought for a while and seemed to have understood in his heart, but he was just not sure whether that feeling was right.
"Yes, maybe we shouldn't regard alien species as enemies in the first place, because they are not the original predators on this planet, they are new species created by us. They themselves can be said to be innocent, but we have given them
The super evolutionary instinct they have shown in order to survive is too terrifying. This is a serious threat to us, which makes us not build domes to prevent alien species from invading humans. But in fact, we can help them.
, and even became friends with them!" Lin Sen said in surprise.
Dongfang Ruo felt certain in her heart, but the way she looked at Lin Sen changed.
Because what Lin Sen just said completely subverted all three views...
How did that kind of bloodthirsty monster suddenly change from an enemy to a species that can be friends?
"You...what are you talking about?! This...this is too...how is it possible! Lin Sen, are you crazy? How can we be friends with alien species? They want to eat us when they see us
What a monster!”
But then Lin Sen said: "I know that the appearance of alienated species is very scary, and they also have power that ordinary people cannot fight against. But isn't alienation itself also used to strengthen our soldiers? Since we can create
How can there be no special medicine to suppress alienation if you are a servant?!"
But Dongfang Ruo still frowned. She thought she had caught up with Lin Sen's thinking, but now it seems that she is still far behind.
"Uh... It's not okay to be fanciful, Lin Sen! Have you ever seen this kind of special medicine?"
Before Lin Sen could answer, he heard a voice coming from behind Dongfang Ruo.
"There is indeed such a drug, and it was created a long time ago."
Dongfang Ruo was startled when he heard this. When he looked back, he saw a pale Manny standing not far away.
"Mannie!? You're awake!!"
Manny smiled slightly, walked over and sat down next to Dongfang Ruo.
After sitting down, she glanced at Lin Sen, but the fear and vigilance in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a touch of sadness.
Lin Sen smiled back and said nothing.
"Sister, I heard the conversation you just had. Regarding this medicine... it does exist." After Manny sat down, she made it clear what she had said before.
Dongfang Ruo was shocked when she heard this, and then became even more incredible. She turned to look at Lin Sen, then at Manny, and then said: "No way... then... then why has no one ever used it on alien species?"
Where is this medicine? And you never mentioned it to me?!"
Manny replied: "Actually... I didn't know all this until I came here. As for the specific details, you'd better ask him. After all, it was he who found the clues and answers."
Hearing this, Dongfang Ruo slowly turned around, with an unhappy look on his face: "Huh...you really hold back a lot from me, don't you?"
Lin Sen shrugged and said innocently: "It's only been a few hours since we sat face to face and chatted quietly. Didn't I just tell you this?"
Dongfang Ruo hesitated when he heard the words, and then raised his fist angrily and hit him: "Okay, I was wrong. Please tell me quickly, what is going on!"
Lin Sen smiled and did not hide. After receiving a solid punch, he said: "Actually, there are many people who know about this medicine, but we have always ignored it."
"Hmm? Who else?"
Lin Sen said: "Han Kongwen and Jin Ying'er."
"The two of them?!" Dongfang Ruo has probably guessed it, but Han Kongwen and she have never been on the same page. They were in a hostile state before that. How could Dongfang Ruo notice it? As for Jin Ying'er...
Dongfang Ruoxin said: 'Who is here?'
Lin Sen nodded: "Yes, but they are only one of the beneficiaries. The person who really possesses this special medicine should be Meili, who has been fighting against us."
This time Dongfang Ruo was not so surprised, because when she heard about the beneficiary, she naturally thought of Meirui who showed up at the end, but what she was surprised about was that Meirui was dormant quietly.
After so many years, it has become such a terrifying existence as soon as it appears. This is really an unexpected result.
"Mei Rui...tsk...she told you about this medicine?"
Lin Sen shook his head: "No."
"Ah? Then how do you know? It's not just a guess, is it?"
Lin Sen said: "No, this time I found the clue when I was trapped in the experiment under the Vasalir Forest. And in order to confirm this clue, I gave the relevant experimental embryonic body data to Manny, and
Let her conduct detailed research, and then... the results show that my guess was wrong, Merry has indeed mastered a special drug that can calm alien species, and based on this, she established her current self-proclaimed team
The alien army of the 'Central Curtain'."
Dongfang Ruo: "Uh...wait a minute! I'm a little confused, please let me sort it out..."
Lin Sen had plenty of time now. He nodded, closed his eyes and went to bask in the sun again.
Dongfang Ruo was seriously thinking about the content of these words.
"You said... you found clues when you were trapped under the Vasalil Forest, and then asked Manny to help you verify it... Hiss... then why did Manny never tell others? And why did we keep letting it go?
Is Mary walking scary?"
Before Lin Sen could answer, Manny said: "Because I learned about the final agreement from my sister, so... Brother Sen took away my research report and imposed a separate memory block on me, and then... I
Just forget all this."
"Ah?! Hey, Lin Sen! How could you!" Dongfang Ruo was unhappy after hearing this.
But Manni quickly grabbed her and said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I was not forced to have a memory blockade, but... it was really hard for me to bear what I saw, especially what I learned from my sister about the final
The content of the agreement...that’s why I...I asked Brother Sen to help me, and I voluntarily accepted the memory blockade."
Dongfang Ruo lost her temper after hearing this, and she couldn't help but hugged Manny in distress. Thinking about how miserable this girl was, she had been silently helping everyone behind the scenes without telling anyone, and she still had to bear such a thing.
"I'm sorry...sister...I didn't mean not to tell you."
Dongfang Ruo shook his head: "It's nothing, you did a good job, it's just that someone is very heartless. We treat him as a friend. He is not bad, but he actually carries everything by himself, thinking that he is a god! How come?
Are you afraid that others will rob him?"
Manny's face turned red when she heard this, and she almost laughed out loud.
Lin Sen heard it clearly. He smiled slightly and did not explain.
After a while, after calming down, Dongfang Ruo turned around and looked at Lin Sen: "Okay, stop pretending to be a worldly expert. Hurry up and tell me what else you discovered and why you knew there was such a thing.
Exist but not use it against Meili?"
Lin Sen opened his eyes, his breathing was a little heavy.
"The first thing I thought of when I discovered this medicine was to save the tragedy on Advent Day. However, I overestimated my ability and underestimated Meili's power at the moment. She is no longer in our eyes.
A mutant who wants revenge, but the real leader of the mutants, the queen of the mutants! Her people have penetrated into almost all parts of the Free Federation, and she also discovered the '
The bones of old people were extracted from them, and the eternal gene called the blood of Freya was extracted from it, which made her a near-immortal existence. However, with our power at that time, we wanted to define who was the descendant of Meili.
'It's almost impossible. In this way, defeat is almost doomed, so... after many failed attempts, I decided to give up this idea and continue to go deeper with this clue. I want to see Gaia in the future.
Is the star really dominated by Meili?"
Dongfang Ruo was stunned. When she saw Lin Sen stopped, she couldn't help but ask: "What happened next? Did Meirui lead the aliens to dominate the planet?"
Lin Sen shook his head, smiled and said: "No, no matter how terrible the disaster is, the power of human beings cannot be underestimated. Meirui herself knows this very well, not to mention that we are still here, so even in the final
In the tragic ending, the world has become a barren land, and we still exist, but there are not so many survivors..."
Hearing this, Dongfang Ruo was suddenly startled, and as she followed, she couldn't help but remember something.
She remembered Donghaiwang's waiting, and the memory that she finally failed to stop Minnie, but instead fell into Merry's trap and was swallowed by the light.
At this point everything is clearly defined and everything starts to relate to each other.
But Dongfang Ruo still has many doubts.
She asked again: "Then according to what you meant before...if it is really prejudice that leads to the hostility between us and the alien species, is it possible for us to become friends with Mei Rui?"
Lin Sen shook his head and corrected himself: "It's not between us and Merry, but between humans and alien species. Can we free ourselves from the opposition between freedom and order, and then face all this together?"
