"Where do you want to start?"
on the highway,
Zhou Qi drove the car calmly and suddenly asked Li Qing in the passenger seat.
"...?"
Because the car had been silent for too long, Li Qing didn't react for a while, and was stunned for two seconds before looking at Zhou Qi.
"What?"
she asked subconsciously.
Zhou Qi glanced at her: "I can tell you everything you want to know now."
"..."
Li Qing's mouth moved.
"I……"
She didn't know how to speak.
She did have a lot she wanted to know, but that was before.
She dared not know now.
She didn't even dare to look at Zhou Qi, so she could only turn her head and look out the car window. The reversing mirror reflected her still beautiful and refined face, but she could see that the expression on her face was a bit complicated, and there was a hint of unspeakable fear.
Yes……
She is a little scared now.
Fear of the unknown.
A lot has happened these days, and Zhou Qi's impression in her eyes has always jumped greatly.
She had just reluctantly accepted the other party's identity as a "reborn person", and the other party suddenly became a "big shot" who was held up by countless leaders and officials, but he himself had no bottom. She finally adapted to this identity, but the other party became a "big shot" again. He looks dangerous, a dangerous bad guy...
Just now, she watched Zhou Qi bring Professor Su into the villa. A few minutes later, something disgusting and terrifying flowed out of the window. After some incomprehensible scenes, many people died... Professor Su didn't come out either. …
And all of this was tearing away the original impression of Zhou Qi that remained in her mind, and gradually pieced it together into an appearance that made her strange and frightened.
So she was scared.
"I... don't want to know now." Li Qing murmured.
But Zhou Qi said directly: "I just saw it in the car. The monster killed many people, including Professor Su, and you, in fact, also turned into a monster before."
"!?"
Li Qing stiffened and turned to look at Zhou Qi with startled eyes.
"...But I changed it back for you." Zhou Qi added.
"..."
Li Qing obviously still couldn't accept it, and asked with a pale face: "Really... fake?"
"Really." Zhou Qi nodded seriously: "What I want to say is, do you know why you turned into a monster?"
"..."
Li Qing's hands were clenched unconsciously, looking very nervous.
At this time Zhou Qi replied: "Because of your choice."
Choose...choose?
Li Qing repeated it with difficulty in her heart.
Zhou Qi seemed to have heard it and continued: "That day, I asked you a question, asking you to think about what you would do if there was no me, if the end was coming? Then you also said, you chose me .”
"I... don't." Li Qing replied with a cold voice.
"One of the rules of becoming a monster is that consciousness is constantly approaching the end. The more you think about it, the more you believe it, and the more you believe it...the more real it becomes."
"..."
Zhou Qi's self-conscious words made Li Qing fall into silence.
So that's it.
She had spent day and night thinking about what the end of the world would be like and what Zhou Qi had experienced. No wonder she felt cold all over. It turned out to be because...
"etc……"
Li Qing suddenly felt cold in her heart. She looked at Zhou Qi, her pupils trembling: "You have never hidden your identity, and you have taken the initiative to explain it to many people..."
"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded calmly.
"Why do you do this..." Li Qing's face turned pale.
"Well... because people who are pulled out during the window period will have a certain lack of emotion, which is equivalent to antibodies, and they will not become monsters in the short term." Zhou Qi glanced at her and said, "And this can make I achieve some goals, so don’t be afraid, at least you won’t turn into a monster for a long time.”
"..."
"...?"
It took Li Qing a long time to realize what he meant. There were suddenly many questions in her mind, but she was so dizzy that she only asked——
"Emotion...lack?"
"Yes, but not in the usual sense. You can still have emotions, have joys and sorrows, and even be more sensitive than usual, but they may be a little confused and dull, and you will feel empty after these emotions fade, but... …It’s not a problem, it will recover after a while.”
It also means,
It is possible to turn into a monster again after a while.
"..."
Li Qing subconsciously touched his heart.
Confused?
She didn't feel much, but she still subconsciously chose to believe Zhou Qi.
She was silent for a while, then instinctively analyzed and spoke:
"So, you... want to turn many people into monsters, and then pull them out to produce antibodies? But the purpose of this is to..." As he said this, Li Qing's pupils suddenly dilated: "Are you saying that the end is coming?"
"Roughly the same."
Zhou Qi blinked.
"Yes, yes..." Li Qing got stuck again.
The information received in a short period of time indeed solved a lot of her doubts, but it also left her brain blank.
It turns out that many things have already...
She couldn't stop feeling flustered, and subconsciously grabbed Zhou Qi's arm and asked, "That's not it. It's like what you said..."
"Not necessarily. This apocalypse is different from the past." Zhou Qi said in a casual tone, "And this time the preparations may be more complete and the plan is more thorough."
He looked at Li Qing: "Do you want to listen?"
"..."
Li Qing pursed her lips and shook her head with difficulty.
Zhou Qidao: "But I want to say, how about you feel aggrieved."
Li Qing put a little pressure on his hand: "Then...just listen."
actually……
Always wanted to know.
She is a little scared now, a little panicked, and a lot confused.
But she still wanted to know what happened to Zhou Qi, always.
And now she feels like she understands what Zhou Qi said. It turns out that everything in the past, many things can really be better, but they are bound by social rules. When the end comes, the so-called rules disappear, All this can be more direct and pure, but it is already too late...
"Okay, but before talking about the plan, you need to know some rules... Well, I only told you about the doomsday before, not the rules. Let me tell you about the monsters first..."
The scenery outside the car window receded rapidly, and Zhou Qi's voice was calm and mysterious.
"The end of the world is like a wave. When the whole world is submerged, everyone will slowly turn into monsters. This is because there is a dirty substance in the wave that can be attracted and accumulated by people's emotions, thus making humans... Transformation, alienation.”
"But that's just on the physical level."
"In later research, we found that waves are formed by the convergence of massive electromagnetic waves, which contain a huge amount of information. This information cannot be captured or deciphered by humans by any means, but their impact is obvious.
They will induce people to follow desires and emotions, whether they are good or evil, happiness, anger, sadness, fear and despair, as well as obsessions and beliefs. These are all included. As long as you are willing to show it, you will feel it. When you feel comfortable, of course, when you feel comfortable, you will become a monster.
And we don’t know what all this means, we only know, resistance. "
Li Qing was fascinated by what he heard and asked in confusion: "What's the result?"
Zhou Qi sighed softly: "The result is obvious. The resistance has never been successful. Human beings cannot refuse something that belongs to us and is so beautiful."
He paused and then said: "To put it further, I want to say that the concept of monsters is the biggest threat and insult to mankind in the end of the world! If you have any emotions, you must become a monster, then we have evolved What is the meaning of feelings?
So my first purpose of making monsters appear is to use healthy science and technology before the end of the world to try to understand the monster itself, including how it transforms, its physiological and genetic structure, and whether it can be restored to a human being. Research everything clearly. "
"!" Li Qing was stunned.
She hadn't gone round and round before. In fact, this was an easy-to-understand situation——
Every time Zhou Qi is reborn before the doomsday, even if there is time, the scientific system is normal, but there are no monsters to study; what happens after the doomsday arrives? There are monsters, but society has also collapsed. The scientific system will always be imperfect, and in such an environment, research cannot go smoothly.
But now, it seems that we can do this very well.
"Wait, the monster... can't be restored? Didn't you already change me back? And you also said you can change them back and produce antibodies?" Li Qing suddenly asked.
"The price is very high. You can do it before the apocalypse, but not in the apocalypse. Not only can you not pull it up, but you can easily be dragged down... and it doesn't make much sense. In the apocalypse, pulling it up is just a waste of effort. , they will fall at a faster speed, besides..."
Even now, I didn't say that I would give them antibodies. I only brought you here because I thought I could get some information.
But Zhou Qi did not continue what he said next.
Li Qing didn't think much, and her beautiful little face looked a little worried: "What should we do after that?"
"After that..." Zhou Qi slightly repeated it meaningfully and said: "The next step is a big step, which first requires human beings to be united. You know, this is very difficult, and there is a prerequisite -
There are some people who are pure evil people. No matter what the circumstances, they will express the evil of human nature to the fullest. I can't let them exist because they will destroy my plan. The second purpose of letting monsters appear is that Find them, clear them out. "
Li Qing was a little confused.
"What do you mean..." She frowned slightly: "What does the appearance of monsters have to do with finding them..."
"See monsters, believe in monsters, become monsters...have you forgotten the reason why you became a monster?" Zhou Qi said slowly:
"In a doomsday environment, it is a natural phenomenon for people to turn into monsters. It is affected by special substances and electromagnetic waves. The effect of humans turning into monsters due to their own consciousness and psychological factors is not obvious... But now, The end has not come yet, and the social order has not yet collapsed, so the power of belief will be infinitely amplified..."
Zhou Qi looked at Li Qing: "You can understand it this way. According to the supposed rhythm, the influence of the tide will gradually come. The first ones to become monsters will be those who are full of emotions and the hormone system in the body due to various reasons. Abnormal or damaged ones... in short, artists, psychopaths, lunatics, drug addicts, etc., because they are more likely to feel the call of the wave, and they are more willing to accept it.
But I need to get the bad guys ahead of them, so...
Only in these days will my appearance and information be known to everyone, especially the point of 'knowing many people's secrets, past and future information'; also, I have given them a lot of hints and guidance, which will lead to those evil people, The higher you are, the more you care about me and the end.
In this way, when the first monster appears through my operation, they will inevitably respond and feel the existence and call of the tide faster than those madmen... This is a limitation of human physiology and thought. They Irresistible. "
"..."
Silence fell in the car.
After a long time, Li Qing finally exhaled heavily: "I understand."
But after a while, she looked at Zhou Qi with some confusion: "Then... is it possible that someone has controlled their emotions? Just like Professor Su?"
"Yes, but I know them all."
"..."
…
