Chapter 247: Chapter 227 The Origin of Humanity
The "Giant Millstone" is the true mystery, the kind that has no information about it at all.
The Black-clothed Guard used to be a bit curious, wanting to inquire about the "Giant Millstone" from the "Laplace Demon."
But even when they offered a considerable price, the Laplace Demon remained "silent."
There were no replies, as if it were dead.
What did this imply?
There were two possibilities.
First, the so-called omniscient "Laplace Demon" had absolutely no information about the "Giant Millstone"!
Second, it knew but dared not speak.
If it spoke, it might be forced to come into contact with the "Giant Millstone" and suffer an attack from it.
Whichever possibility it might be, both revealed the mystery and horror of the "Giant Millstone." Some experts believed that it might originate from the deepest layer of the Etheric Abyss, the "Primordial Core."
If the "Game" truly couldn’t be overcome, then let the "Giant Millstone" take action.
...
But Chen Xinyi’s expression, brimming with confidence, still surprised everyone at the Abnormal Foundation.
After all, she was just a young girl, and no matter how clever she might be, in front of these cunning veterans who had been through life and death, one could see that she truly had the courage that knew no fear.
This wasn’t something she was faking.
A Demon God capable of contending with the "Delusional"!
If Miss Chen had not experienced memory alteration, one might still consider it "ignorance is bliss"; but now, even after having undergone such personality confusion that she couldn’t even figure out who she was, she still held such confidence.
This could only mean...
The Demon God "Game" had considerable strength?
"What do you think?" someone asked through telepathy.
"I don’t know... But since Miss Feng Ling had contact with it and believes in it, we have no other choice."
In the eyes of those at the Abnormal Foundation, the "Delusional" was an absolutely powerful, historically significant super Demon God.
Their long history had seen disasters brought about by other Demon Gods, but the desolation of the "Delusional" disaster was several levels worse in comparison.
Even, according to their intelligence, the "Delusional" had already destroyed several Parallel Worlds...
Their world was not the only victim; a number of other worlds had already been completely annihilated.
If it weren’t for their stroke of luck in encountering "a certain being" within the Etheric Abyss, gaining this Black Scale, they likely would have ended up on the same path.
With this mindset, the leader "Blue-Gold" signaled everyone with his eyes to quiet down.
He opened the second letter, which was addressed to the Dean of Qingtian Hospital, containing some new rules.
But at that moment, a faint blue light, seemingly out of nowhere, burst forth from the envelope!
Before the assembled could react, the blue light touched the Black Scale on the table!
Instantly,
Everyone tensed up, hearts racing!
That Black Scale was their most important foundation!
It seemed as though something had happened, and yet...
It was as if nothing had happened at all.
"Blue-Gold" swallowed hard, feeling he had been rather rash to open the letter near the scale, yet inexplicably feeling as if it had been natural.
A very familiar memory began to brew in his mind.
He lightly touched the scale, still feeling its terrifying power.
Even, the terror of this power became more active!
Chen Xinyi shrank her head down, her heart beating wildly—the "Game" must have gone mad, messing with the most treasured relic of the Abnormal Foundation—the Black Scale.
She felt somewhat anxious, truly afraid she’d be dragged out and executed by firing squad!
"Don’t worry for now, the scale’s function still exists. I’ve actually remembered something... a very old story," Blue-Gold relaxed his brow and smiled, "Do you know the origin of humans?"
"In our Abnormal Foundation, there’s an ancient legend that humans come from worlds even farther out."
"Farther out?"
"The Etheric Abyss is a collection composed of countless Parallel Worlds, using astronomical terms, it’s a vast Cosmic Domain. And humans, as low entropy beings, are fundamentally different from the Idealism life of this place. So, we have a theory that humans come from worlds out there."
"Is... is that so?" Chen Xinyi felt pressured.
"Even in our legends, there are so-called pieces of evidence."
"In the satellite of our planet, that is, the Moon, there might be a cosmic spaceship of planetary scale. ’Wangxu’ was once imprisoned upon this cosmic spaceship, and now that it has escaped, it has caused this disaster... That is to say, on the Moon, there might exist the physical form of ’Wangxu.’"
"This story was told to me by my father when I was a child. Its authenticity is hard to investigate, after all, our current industrial strength no longer allows us to travel to the Moon. ’Wangxu’ also does not permit humans to travel to the Moon."
Miss Chen had no knowledge of these matters and could only remain silent.
Her feelings were a mix of excitement and curiosity, yet also terribly awful. Have I become entangled in even bigger affairs by knowing these secrets?
Mr. Lan Jin continued, "The games in the Etheric Abyss are long and complex, most of which bear malice, but there are some ’things’ that are benevolent towards humanity. The burst of blue light just now brought me a very familiar feeling. It seems I’ve seen it somewhere before, yet I can’t quite put my finger on what it is... so let’s all relax for the moment."
He said to everyone, "Actually, relying on this scale for hope is also an unreasonable idea. Even if the scale loses its power, should we stop resisting? Of course not."
"Alright, let’s look at this letter."
The content of the letter wasn’t complex: transform the Hospital gradually into an animal hospital, and slowly spread ’its’ anchoring onto the animals to reduce the harm to humans.
"In our world, we have adopted a similar plan."
Chen Xinyi explained, "We plan to use Feng Ling’s abilities to channel the power transmitted by ’it’ into the animals, thus continuously depleting ’its’ power."
"Incidentally, the ’source’ created can also support a large number of scientific experiments..."
"It must be mentioned that the Game has provided us with an excellent experimental platform. We can use the Game to conduct a large number of experiments, but at a certain cost, which is the ’source.’ Our demand for the ’source’ is very, very high."
The Demon God, of course, has its limits and cannot act as a perpetual motion machine.
The sustained consumption, when added up, indeed amounts to quite a bit.
Members of the Abnormal Foundation each fell into deep thought.
"Completely transforming Qingtian Hospital into an animal hospital... this scheme is very excellent, and novel, but in our case, it’s very difficult to implement."
The lead "Mr. Lan Jin," after giving it some thought, shook his head, "The difficulty is too great."
"Your world has not yet been successfully invaded by ’Wangxu,’ a little sleight of hand, and it won’t be able to properly recognize it."
"But in our world, if we make too many moves, it immediately triggers its retaliation, leading to everyone’s death."
"If that’s truly the case, the value of this letter... can only be taken as a reference."
Mr. Lan Jin furrowed his brows and said, "But I feel that the content of this letter is not just about simply depleting ’Wangxu.’ Its power may not be infinite, but its magnitude is colossal, and years or decades of depletion are but a drop in the bucket."
"Unless there are hundreds or thousands of Qingtian Hospitals continuously draining it, only then would it start causing significant trouble for it."
But then, the birth of a person capable of stealing the power of a Demon God is a stroke of immense fortune!
Where can one find hundreds or thousands of Feng Lings?
There are not so many that can lead.
"You are right. The Game possesses high intelligence, that much we can be sure of," Chen Xinyi clenched her fist, "Every step it takes is clearly planned, even my arrival was within its plan."
"I need to consult with my leaders and seek their opinions. I might... fall into a comatose state for a while. Please excuse me."
"Please, go ahead."
After a few seconds, seeing that Chen Xinyi had indeed fallen into a coma, a Superpower User with observational abilities commented through the ability of Telepathy, "Her soul has completely vanished, yet her body has not died. This is indeed a supernatural ability we do not understand."
"Does that mean she can truly communicate with her organization?"
"Hmm, it’s very likely."
"Mr. Lan Jin" inwardly exclaimed, "As for the Demon God behind this lady... that faint hint of blue light feels familiar."
"It might be some sort of genetic memory. I’m certain I haven’t seen it before, but it imparts a sense of familiarity and security."
Everyone has genetic memories.
Humans innately fear insects, snakes, centipedes, scorpions, but like furry creatures—these are genetic memories formed over the course of human interaction with nature.
And the family of leader Lan Jin is somewhat special, harboring many more genetic memories about the Etheric Abyss.
"Regardless of what the Game actually is, our world is not going to get any worse... for now, let’s trust them," he sighed.
The Moon in the sky is a huge spaceship. This statement is not fictitious, but... real!
The humans of this world are refugees from that spaceship!
"But what exactly does the Game require us to do? Really go all out using substantial resources to set up a pig farm, turning Qingtian Hospital into an animal hospital?"
The state of the world had evolved to this point. The Abnormal Foundation had a very low error tolerance and could not afford to take on such a high risk.
Everyone also knew the principle that risk is proportional to reward, but even if the hospital transformed into an animal hospital, the significance wasn’t great.
It would at best only reduce the Hospital’s consumption of doctors. As for ’Wangxu,’ it would hardly matter.
"Why?" The crowd wracked their brains over the letter, contemplating deeply.
