Just as Liu Xing was about to send a text message, Shimada shook his head with a smile and said: "Liu Xing, don't be in such a hurry, it's just a conjecture now, and I can't guarantee that Jing Yi Naoraku came here to open the door to that fantasy dream, so I think Liu Xing, you should not tell this news to your partners in advance, because it will affect some of their decisions." ”

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and put down his phone.

As Shimada said with a smile, if he told Yin En and the others the news, then Yin En and the others would change a lot of plans because of this news, after all, the old rulers were about to ride their faces, so would they still be in the mood to care about the dispute between the heads of their Shimazu family?

If the news is true, then it is better to say, if Ii Naoraku really wants to escape to the Ryukyus, then this matter may be a little troublesome.

Therefore, Liu Xing finally decided to wait for the news from Shi Zixuan's side to see if Shi Zixuan had any way to determine the dynamics of Jing Yi Zhile and Liu Xuyu.

However, Liu Xing's face was still full of two words - uneasy.

"Liu Xing, don't worry too much, because as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although the unknown old ruler has created a group of good fighters for himself, but their number is still too small, as long as the old ruler does not end up in person, then those believers will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by all the secret churches and mythical creatures on the island country, so although they may do something, they will be pacified soon." Yui Matsui comforted Liu Xingdao.

Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, I also know that as long as this unknown old ruler doesn't take action in person, then these believers of it won't be able to make any waves, and in the end, they will occupy Kagoshima City for a few days... But the problem is that ordinary humans can't accept this news, and as long as those traitors take over Kagoshima City, then the whole world will know about the existence of secret churches and mythical creatures, and even the news of the old rulers will be known to the public, and I can't imagine what the world will become like at that time. ”

To this day, Liu Xing still remembers the year 2000 in the real world, because many well-known prophecies mention that 2000 may be the end of the world, so on Chinese New Year's Eve, serious riots occurred in many parts of the world, although these events do not rule out that someone is maliciously guiding, but this can also be seen that human beings are actually a creature that is easy to fall into chaos.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Xing thought that the existence of mythical creatures and the old rulers was made public, then there may not be a need for the old rulers to appear, and the population of this parallel world may be reduced by more than half, after all, all human beings need to go through a san value test in order to learn these news, and even if only one-tenth of the human beings fall into a temporary state of madness, it will be hundreds of millions of people...

"yes... Shimada smiled and stopped, and finally could only shake his head, "I still remember that more than ten years ago, I once went to Miskatonik University, because there was a human friend of mine who was a professor there, and he also knew my true identity, so he asked me to go over and do some genetic research, trying to confirm the genetic differences between ghouls and humans, but the experiment was very unsuccessful, so to speak, nothing was studied." ”

"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, and the teacher of this class put forward the idea that all humans can suffer from hysteria, but for some reason hysteria is hidden in the deep consciousness, so human beings like to engage in all kinds of fantasies, but they don't go crazy because of these fantasies."

"But because human beings have always been a social animal, so human beings are born with a certain herd nature, so human beings are like those herbivores in the African savannah, it is easy to be scared to run around because of a lion, even if you know that the lion can't catch you, but the same kind around you have begun to run away, and you will subconsciously run with you, which is also the reason for many stampede accidents - although I don't know why I did this, but since the people around me have done it, Then I should do the same, and there is hysteria in the deep consciousness of human beings at work. ”

"When a person suddenly runs in public, the people around him will wonder why he is running, most people will wonder if he is in a hurry, but there are also people who may have hysterical attacks and think of something bad - he knows there is a bomb nearby! So the person who had the hysteria also ran up, and then it caused more people to have a hysterical attack, and some terrible pictures automatically appeared in their minds, so they also wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so they also ran, and in the end, all the people present would subconsciously run along. ”

In the end, the teacher thought that human hysteria should be the same as conformity, and it is very likely that it was also preserved in the process of evolution, because one of the biggest differences between humans and animals is that they learned to make tools and use tools, so how did humans come up with the idea of making and using tools? It would be a monkey or gorilla hysteria attack, and suddenly do some strange behavior, and then put together two samples of unrelated things, and the result is a new tool, and the brain subconsciously thinks that hysteria is a good gene that is worth passing on. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing began to be a little confused, but Liu Xing remembered that he had heard some similar arguments when he was in college, and some people believed that all mental illnesses of human beings are not diseases, but the inevitable result of the further development of the human brain.

"Liu Xing, you should know, there is also a pineal gland on the forehead of human beings, which looks like a vertical eye, although it has no effect on the current human race, but since it exists, it means that this organization should have an effect on the previous human race, but it has been hidden with the evolution of human beings." Shimada laughed and continued, "In some recent news, I heard that some of your human organs that have completely degenerated are starting to evolve again. ”

Liu Xing nodded and said, "That's right, I've also heard some related news... But then again, can I take the liberty of asking Shimada how long you've lived? I remember that you ghouls can also live forever. ”

Shimada smiled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I know what Liu Xing wants to ask me, that's right, our ghoul clan can be immortal like most other mythical creatures, or immortality is the minimum threshold for mythical creatures, because only one race is no longer bothered by death, then it is possible for this race to evolve more powerful abilities and create more powerful technology; So I don't know how many years I've lived, but I remember that I was one of the first ghouls to set foot on Earth. ”

"Because of the Isis people, Liu Xing, you should have heard of how chaotic the earth was in ancient times, all kinds of mythical creatures and the old rulers were divided on the earth, fighting each other every day, and like the ancients, Mi. The mythical creatures on the scientific and technological side of Ge are also keen to use the primitive creatures on the earth for genetic research, creating a large number of new races, of which there are hundreds of them that I know of alone, but in the end, there are only a few races left that can reproduce to this day, the most famous of which are Xiugoth and hilichurls. ”

"As for you human beings, in fact, they are also influenced by those mythical creatures, because although the races they created have perished, some special genes of those races have been retained in the offspring of other races because of hybridization, so all creatures on the earth today are relatives if you have to say it, because from the genetic point of view, all creatures on the earth have some similarities... But let's be honest, you humans are lucky enough to have the genes that make you what you are now, rather than evolving into gorillas or monkeys. ”

"So how did we humans become the overlords of the earth on the bright side? It stands to reason that as long as there is a mythical race of creatures on the road to the rise of mankind to stand up and stop it, then it is impossible for humans 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 didn't speak for a while.

It seems that there should be some secret in this.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing could only analyze by himself: "Could it be that it is because there are many old rulers on the earth who have been sealed, so you have given up your plan to control the earth?" ”

"Pretty much."

Yui Matsui, who had not spoken, suddenly replied: "There are too many old rulers on the earth who have been sealed, and the locations where they are sealed can be said to be the most important locations on the earth, for example, there is a rich mine area below the ancient city of Lalaye, if it weren't for the great Cthulhu sleeping here, maybe that group of meters. Ge had already flocked to the area, turning the rich mine area upside down; As for the region on Earth that has the most seals of the old rulers, the Severn River Valley, there is a naturally formed underground labyrinth hidden underneath, and a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures grow in it, and for us mythical creatures, eating some of them can double our strength. ”

"To put it bluntly, all the resources on Earth that are useful to us and can be exploited have been collected, so most of the mythical creatures have left the Earth and gone to other planets to continue competing for resources, and only a few remain on Earth for various reasons... Well, the main reason is because those sealed old rulers, like Matsui Yui, they stayed on Earth to protect and awaken the old rulers of their faith, and we ghouls were to monitor the movements of these old rulers so that we could adjust the arrangement on other planets, so for a long time, we ghouls left only a few dozen people on the earth. Shimada smiled and continued.

Hearing this, a sentence appeared in Liu Xing's mind - the tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the overlord.

"But Liu Xing, don't be presumptuous, in fact, you human beings have developed into what they are today in such a short period of time, which is enough to surprise us." Yui Matsui pointed to a shotgun hanging from the wall and said, "In the beginning, we mythical creatures didn't care about the rise of your human race. Because we don't think you have a chance to become a new race of mythical creatures, for the simple reason that while the advantages of the genes of both sides can be passed on to the next generation through crossbreeding, it will also make the genes of the next generation more fragile and difficult to continue to reproduce and continue, such as the mule and hybrid rice, which you humans are familiar with, although they have many advantages, but cannot reproduce the next generation. ”

"Although you humans and other animals are in a better situation, with the ability to reproduce the next generation, but your lifespan is very severely limited, unless you are genetically modified, you will not be able to cross the threshold of 100 years old, so we didn't think about stopping you in the beginning, so except for a few mythical creatures who will come to you for a change of taste... Just like you humans who are used to eating pork, beef and mutton, you will occasionally change the taste to eat chicken, duck and fish. ”

"But what we didn't expect is that after a long period of evolution, you actually have the intelligence of our mythical creatures, and in just a few thousand years, you have created all kinds of weapons that can harm us, so when we reacted, we found that we could no longer deal with you, or we were not willing to pay too much to destroy you."

"For example, if we deep divers who are active on the earth gather to attack you humans, although we can turn you into history in the end, we will also suffer heavy losses, and the worst possibility is that there is no one in ten, after all, if you humans go crazy and detonate all nuclear weapons, then all the deep divers who participate in the ground attack will definitely die, and then other mythical creatures will also take the opportunity to come to us for trouble, such as Baiaki, the sworn enemy of our deep divers, they will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob."

"But the most important thing is that there are many mythical creatures who are curious about your human genes, because in addition to the relatively low lifespan, they are not much different from us mythical creatures in other aspects, so we deep divers want to intermarry with you to see if there is a way to create a new race, and as a result, there is a product of failure such as deep diver hybrids... In a sense. ”
