The chill of the early morning is dissipating as the sun rises.

But Dongfang Ruo's heart felt colder and colder...... She never imagined that she would get this answer after all the way to the present.

That kind of confusion was something Dongfang Ruo had never had, not even when she was alone against the Angel of Law.

Because the enemy is clear, she just needs to go to battle.

But now, Dongfang Ruo has lost the definition of right and wrong, good and evil, and she can't even see what she is doing is right...... Is it wrong......

Just looked 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 first need to find out the mastermind behind this third person, but after thinking about it for so long, I found that maybe the people who planned all this back then have already evolved this kind of mastermind into a kind of faith, and we are all its followers, so ...... Perhaps to change all this, we have to start with ourselves. ”

"Self-starting? Rethink? Dongfang Ruo looked at Lin Sen in confusion.

Lin Sen shook his head: "Reflection is based on self, but how can it be so easy to convince yourself, just like so many of us got together to discuss how to complete the 'homecoming', did we realize how bloody what we did?" ”

Dongfang Ruo was not a direct participant at the beginning, but she was still very clear about returning home.

And since learning about this plan, Dongfang Ruo felt that the arbiter had changed, or rather, the faces of everyone who seemed to be busy were actually filled with a sickly sense of seriousness, and they used the end of the world and saving the world as an excuse to cover up the prelude to the "advent" that they were implementing and was ready to bury more than half of the human beings on this planet.

"Don't you realize?" Dongfang Ruo asked coldly.

Lin Sen said: "We realized, but we chose to avoid, or, in our own opinion, 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 coldly with disdain: "It's really great to think about. ”

Lin Sen also laughed, but it was just a self-deprecating laugh.

"yes...... He claims to be great, but he is no different from an executioner. ”

"But...... What can be done, so many cutting-edge scientific talents get together and can't come up with an antidote, if 'homecoming' can really ensure the continuation of mankind, maybe it's not worth it, tsk...... In this way, I feel that the old film "Interstellar" is really far-sighted, with lies as the prelude, and then using population bombs to continue human civilization, all the remaining human beings have been silently sentenced to death......" Dongfang Ruo couldn't go on anymore, she lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and trembled slightly......

Lin Sen looked at her, did not comfort her, did not continue, he closed his eyes again, and tried to take 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 gradually deviated from the essence of being human, but you have to make me seriously think about what I am wrong...... I...... I...... I really don't know. ”

With that, she looked at Lin Sen.

Lin Sen sat beside her, opened his eyes after hearing the words, and said: "Actually, it's not that complicated, the reflection on these confusions is much older than you and me, just like a series of superhero comics and movies such as Iron Man, from the founding 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 to ask questions.

"Superheroes start out as great images that inspire people, but as they grow stronger and stronger, they go from heroes to superman." The gods', they will inevitably bring disaster to the innocent when they protect this planet, and at this time, people are no longer grateful to them, but begin to fear them, afraid of them, just like those mutants in the X-Men, they were always regarded as aliens and threats before they were unified by the professor, so in the end, whether it is the civil war of the Avengers, or the parting of ways between Magneto and the professor, or Batman fighting Superman in a human body, these are not for the sake of a lively movie theater audience, they are fighting for their own ideas, fighting for their respective beliefs。 ”

Lin Sen said a bunch of things that seemed like a book to Dongfang Ruo, but she still understood what Lin Sen wanted to express.

She thought for a moment and said, "You mean...... Freedom and order? ”

Lin Sen smiled, he admired Dongfang Ruo's extraordinary comprehension ability.

"Yes, it's the confrontation between freedom and order, among the powerful superheroes, some are from ordinary backgrounds, and some are rich and rival the country, but when they become heroes, these things become less important, because at the moment they have a higher ideal, that is, to guard justice, but guarding justice has a price, even Superman has no ability to save ordinary people who are about to die from every car accident, and even he may not even protect his 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 meaning and starts thinking about herself, is she a superman in this world?

Is the power she inherited, known as the mystical power, the light?

As soon as he thought of this, Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but remember the conversation between himself and Han Kongwen.

At that time, Han Kongwen, who was still wearing a mask, expressed whether it was her real side or not It didn't matter to Dongfang Ruo, but the important thing was that Han Kongwen had made it clear that they had been afraid of Dongfang Ruo, so they tried their best to deal with her, so there was a terrifying evil existence like "Samuel".

'No wonder the master would stop me from leaving the Xuan'ao Sect back then...... 'Dongfang Ruo recalled the past...... In the past, she chose to turn her back on her teacher for love, but she never thought that Luo Shengtian might have predicted from the beginning what Dongfang Ruo would experience one day......

"You mean...... Is it because of my existence that such a terrible evil was born? Dongfang Ruo looked at Lin Sen in a daze.

Lin Sen shook his head, and said at the same time: "No, this is relative, light and darkness, justice and evil are a symmetrical existence, we can't deny either side, but we want to let this world exist under the protection of justice as much as possible, so it is not because your existence attracts evil, but because of the birth of evil, you bravely stand up, this is fundamentally different." ”

Dongfang Ruo could hear this comfort, but she felt even more confused, because she already felt that this confrontation could not end, it was almost infinite.

At this time, I heard Lin Sen say: "But there is one thing we may have misjudged from the beginning, and this is the key point that leads our pattern today to infinite." ”

"Which point?"

Lin Sen's gaze moved away from Dongfang Ruo, he looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "That is, we have always regarded the alien as an enemy. ”

"Treat the alien as an enemy...... Dongfang Ruo thought about it, and seemed to have understood it in his heart, but he was not sure whether that feeling was right or not.

"Yes, we probably shouldn't have regarded xenos as enemies in the first place, because they are not the original predators on this planet, they are new species created by us, and they can be said to be innocent in themselves, but the super evolutionary instinct we have given them to survive is too terrifying, which seriously threatens us, which makes us not want to build a dome to prevent xenomorphs from harming humans, but in fact, we can help them, and even become friends with them!" Lin Sen's words were astonishing.

Dongfang Ruo's feeling in her heart was confirmed, but she saw Lin Sen's gaze change.

Because what Lin Sen just said is simply subversive of the three views......

How did that bloodthirsty monster suddenly go from being an enemy to a species that could be a friend?

"You...... What are you talking about?! This...... It's also too ...... How could it be! Lin Sen, are you crazy? How can we possibly be friends with xenospecies? They want to eat our monsters when they see us! ”

But then he heard Lin Sen say: "I know that the appearance of alienated species is terrifying, and they also have the power that ordinary people can't fight against at all, but isn't the alienation itself also used to strengthen our soldiers?" If we can create the Paid, how can we not have a special medicine to suppress alienation?! ”

But Dongfang Ruo still frowned, she thought that she had kept up with Lin Sen's thinking, but now it seems that she is still far away.

"Uh...... Whimsical can't do it, Lin Sen! Have you ever seen this kind of special medicine? ”

Before Lin Sen could answer, he heard a voice from behind Dongfang Ruo.

"There is such a drug, and it has been made for a long time."

Dongfang Ruo was shocked when he heard this, and when he looked back, he saw a pale Mannie standing not far away.

"Mannie!? You're awake!! ”

Mannie smiled slightly, walked closer 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 faint sadness.

Lin Sen smiled back and didn't say anything.

"Sister, I heard all the conversation you had just now, about this medicine...... It does exist. Mannie sat down and made it clear what she had said.

Dongfang Ruo was shocked when she heard this, and then she became even more incredulous, she turned her head to look at Lin Sen, then at Mannie, and then said, "No...... That...... So why has no one ever used this drug on xenogene? And you never mentioned it to me?! ”

Mannie replied, "Actually...... I only found out about all this after I came here, and as for the specific details, you still ask him, after all, it is he who found the clues and answers. ”

Dongfang Ruo slowly turned his head when he heard this, with unhappiness on his face: "Huh...... How much do you keep in store for me? ”

Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "Let's sit face to face like this, and it's only been a few hours to calm down and chat, isn't this just going to tell you." ”

Dongfang Ruo froze for a moment when he heard this, and then raised his fist and slammed him angrily: "That's okay, I was wrong, tell me quickly, what is going on!" ”

Lin Sen grinned, he didn't hide, and said after taking a solid slap in the face of a pink fist: "Actually, there are many people who know about this medicine, but we have always ignored it." ”

"Huh? Who else? ”

Lin Sen said: "Han Kongwen and Jin Ying'er. ”

"The two of them?!" Dongfang Ruo probably guessed it, but this Han Kongwen and her have not been very right, and they were still hostile before that, so how could Dongfang Ruo detect it, as for that Jin Ying'er...... Dongfang Ruoxin said: 'Who is this?' ’

Lin Sen nodded: "Well, but they are only one of the beneficiaries, and the person who really has this special medicine should be Meirui, who has been fighting against us." ”

Dongfang Ruo was not so surprised this time, because when she heard the beneficiary, she naturally thought of the last Mei Rui to appear, but she was very surprised that this Mei Rui had been dormant silently for so many years, and as soon as it appeared, it became such a terrifying existence, which was really an unexpected result.

"Mary...... Tut...... She told you about this medicine? ”

Lin Sen shook his head: "No." ”

"Huh? So how do you know? It's not going to be another guess, is it? ”

Lin Sen said: "No, this time I found the clue when I was trapped in the experiment under the Vasalil Forest, and in order to confirm this clue, I handed over the relevant experimental embryo body data to Mannie, and asked her to conduct a detailed study, and then ...... As I turned out, my guess was correct, that Merry had indeed mastered a special drug to calm the xenomorphs, and in doing so, she had built up the xenomorph army she now called the 'Central Veil'. ”

Dongfang Ruo: "Uh...... And so on and so forth! I'm a bit of a mess, you let me sort it out......"

Lin Sen now has time, he nodded, and closed his eyes to bask in the sun again.

Dongfang Ruo, on the other hand, was seriously thinking about the content of these words.

"You say...... You found the clues when you were trapped beneath the Vashalil Forest, and then asked Mannie to help you prove it...... Hiss...... Then why did Mannie never talk to anyone else? And why do we keep letting Merry walk in horror? ”

Before Lin Sen could reply, Mannie said, "Because I learned about the final agreement from my sister, so...... Brother Sen took my research report and put a separate memory blockade on me, and then ...... I forgot all about it. ”

"Huh?! Hey, Linsen! How can you! "Dongfang will not be happy if he hears it.

But Mannie hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I wasn't forced to block my memory, but ...... I really had a hard time with what I saw, especially what I learned from my sister about the final agreement...... That's why I'm ...... I just asked Brother Sen to help me, and I voluntarily accepted the memory blockade. ”

Dongfang Ruo lost her temper after hearing this, she couldn't help but hug Mannie in distress, thinking that this girl was really hard, she had been silently helping everyone behind her back, not to mention, but also carrying such a thing.

"I'm sorry...... Sister...... I didn't mean not to tell you. ”

Dongfang Ruo shook his head: "No, you did a good job, it's just that someone has no conscience, we treat him as a friend, he is good, he actually carries everything by himself, thinking that he is a god!" Are you still afraid that others will rob him? ”

Mannie's face turned red when she heard this, and she almost laughed.

Lin Sen heard it clearly, he smiled slightly, and did not explain.

After a while, after calming down, Dongfang Ruo turned to look at Lin Sen: "Okay, don't pretend to be a master of the world, hurry up, tell me what else you found, and why didn't you use it against Meirui even though you knew that there was such a thing?" ”

Lin Sen opened his eyes, his breathing was a little heavy.

"The first thing I thought of when I found this medicine was actually to redeem the tragedy on Advent Day, but I overestimated my own ability, and I also underestimated Mei Rui's strength at the moment, she is no longer a xenomorph bent on revenge in our eyes, but a real xenomorph leader, xenomorph empress! Her people have infiltrated almost all parts of the Free Confederation, and she has also unearthed the 'old human bones' through the exploration of the tomb of pure heavenly fire, and extracted the eternal gene called the blood of 'Freya', which has made her a near-immortal existence, and it is almost impossible to define who is the 'heir' of Merry with our strength at that time, so the defeat is almost doomed, so ...... After many failed attempts, I decided to abandon the idea and continue with this clue to see if the future of Gaia was really dominated by Merry. ”

Dongfang Ruo heard it, she saw Lin Sen stop, and involuntarily asked, "What about later?" Did Mary lead the xenos to dominate the planet? ”

Lin Sen shook his head, he smiled and said: "No, no matter how terrible the disaster, the power of human beings is still not to be underestimated, which is very clear to Meirui herself, not to mention that we are still here, so even in the most tragic ending, the world has been reduced to barren land, we still exist, but there are not so many people who have survived......"

Hearing this, Dongfang Ruo was suddenly stunned, and then she couldn't help but remember something.

I remembered Donghai Wang's waiting, and the memory that she finally failed to organize Minnie, but fell into Merry's trap and was swallowed by that light.

Everything is now clearly outlined, and everything is starting to relate to each other.

But there are still many doubts in the East.

She asked, "What did you mean before...... If it's really prejudice that leads to the hostility between us and the Xenomorphs, is it possible for us to be friends with Merry? ”

Lin Sen shook his head and pointed right: "It's not between us and Meirui, but between humans and xenos, can we free ourselves from the opposition between freedom and order, and then face all this together." ”
