"Do you want to take a look?"
"About... Huazhi's tenth underground level..."
Cui Zhongcheng's words echoed in the elevator.
Gu Shen did not respond immediately.
In just a few seconds, he fell into thinking. Tsukauki's previous hints were already very obvious. If Huazhi was really doing in vivo experiments... then he would probably put this project on the tenth floor.
There was a "ding" sound.
Cui Zhongcheng had already made the decision for Gu Shen. He pressed the elevator button to the tenth floor. Apart from the congressman, he was the only one in the entire Huazi Building who had this authority.
By the time Gu Shen reacted, the elevator door had already opened.
Cui Zhongcheng walked forward slowly alone.
Gu Shen could only follow behind. .
The tenth floor underground is an extremely solid base. The overall tone is dark gold, as if it is made of bronze, which is very retro.
"I believe Huazhi won't..."
As soon as Gu Shen opened his mouth, his voice suddenly stopped, because as the bronze doors opened one after another, cylindrical transparent cabins were revealed. Nutrient liquid was flowing in the cabins, and babies curled up one by one were in the cabins. Sleeping in the body.
This is one toddler after another.
And their growth patterns are different.
Some look just over a month old, and some are about one or two years old, but the only thing the same is that they all have their eyes closed and are currently in a deep sleep.
"What you see before you is what Tsukauki calls an unethical 'experiment'... But unfortunately, there is nothing to avoid, because this was a mature bill that passed the parliamentary vote a long time ago. Not only Dato, but also people in Nagano City are doing it. We call it the 'Genetic Change Act'."
"Tsuka Oni is just a chess piece. If it weren't for the gift from the congressman, he would have no identity or status, let alone the authority to understand all of this."
Cui Zhongcheng looked calm, stopped, faced Gu Shen, and said calmly: "Your teacher Zhou Jiren has long known what secrets are buried in the tenth floor of Huazhi underground... As for the little minions, they don't know All this is necessary.”
Gu Shen looked at the children sleeping in the cabin one by one.
Babies soaked in nutrient solution, their ideologies are drowned in chaos. Some children who grew up in the nutrient cabin have already grown hair, which rhythms like seaweed. Everything in the bronze base feels dead. Who would have thought There are actually living lives here.
"Should I be happy..." Gu Shen said softly: "You tell me this, obviously you think I am no longer a 'minion'."
"Don't get me wrong. In terms of your current strength, you are still a small role. The team leaders of the Chengxin Society are at least extraordinary people on the fourth level of the deep sea. You are not even as good as them." Mr. Xiao Cui said calmly, "I I just don’t want you to do something stupid in the future because of Tsukauki’s words…such as exploring the secrets of the tenth floor privately.”
This secret is not considered a secret in the eyes of big shots.
"Since you brought me to see it, you have approved my... future."
Gu Shen walked slowly and came to a nutrition cabin. He looked at one of the babies and suddenly felt some complicated and sad emotions in his heart. "I have a few questions to ask. What is the purpose of the parliament agreeing to genetic engineering?" Think about it? What will be the fate of these children after they are created? "
"..."
Cui Zhongcheng did not answer this question.
He came to Gu Shen's side.
"In the conversation at Jiangtan last night, Zhou Jiren convinced the Congressman that he wanted you to join the 'New World'. He said he wanted you to see the process of implementing the bill, but in fact... what he wanted was to let you know that we are here What are you doing all this hard work for?"
"Everyone on the table, including Tsukauki, and of course me, are just pawns."
Cui Zhongcheng said softly: "In order to complete something, sacrifice is inevitable... Some sacrifices are tangible, such as death, such as destruction, while some sacrifices are invisible, such as concealment, such as deception. In the 'New World 'In the project, the task I am responsible for is very simple. I ensure that every chess piece can stand where it should stand under my coordination, and finally complete the layout. In this layout, there are tangible and intangible things. Yes, sacrifice is always inevitable."
"So... Tsukauki doesn't need to know that much. He just needs to know that I can fulfill all his requirements during the implementation of this project."
Gu Shen looked at Mr. Xiao Cui complicatedly.
Therefore, this also means that... Xing Yun's authority during the implementation of the New World project is likely to be false.
He encountered concealment and vaguely felt that he was being concealed, so he wanted to explore the secrets of the tenth floor.
"The implementation of the Awakening Act is essentially a response to a huge crisis that is coming to the human world." Cui Zhongcheng touched the children in the nutrition cabins and said softly: "The emergence of extraordinary source matter caused the world where Wuzhou began to collapse... …You may not have an idea of what the collapse of order means.”
He slowly walked to the end of the two rows of nutrition cabins. The bronze door opened, and there was a small storage cabinet. Under layers of purple silver, an extremely small black dot was suspended in the storage cabinet.
"look."
"The logic is destroyed, the structure no longer exists...it creates such a 'bottomless pit'-like existence."
Cui Zhongcheng said numbly: "The reason why Huazhi Building was built is actually to cover up this sincerity. On the tenth floor underground, a collapsed 'black spot' originally appeared. If no measures are taken, this black spot will It will spread endlessly until it engulfs the entire metropolis... Many such black spots have already appeared."
"This is the consequence of the collapse of order."
Mr. Xiao Cui looked at Gu Shen and said softly: "Once the extraordinary source material begins to collapse from within, there is no way to stop it. The purple silver here needs to be replaced regularly to ensure that no accidents occur. During the construction of the building, this logic The radius of the collapsed black spot increases by one millimeter per year."
"One millimeter per year..."
Hearing this, Gu Shen felt slightly relaxed.
It's not fast.
"You must be thinking that it takes a thousand years to grow by one meter. And how big can one meter be?" Cui Zhongcheng opened his arms and gestured a distance. He turned back to look at Gu Shen and said, "But …What if I told you that the number of black spots in this world is far more than this one, there are many places that we have not discovered, and the number of black spots is increasing every year?”
Gu Shen's expression gradually became serious.
"If I tell you again..."
"What if the world outside the Five Continents has been destroyed by a black spot where order collapsed?"
