Masaki Keigo rarely left his laboratory because his equipment detected a huge and strange flash in the universe.
When Masaki Keigo walked to Casto's room, Casto was already waiting for Masaki Keigo inside.
Just when Castor was still thinking about making his identity as a villain bigger and stronger, Asuka Kazuma finally couldn't help but send Ultra's signature towards the earth.
'#￥%…(((*)…&*#￥…)*…&…(╯▔ Pan▔)╯'
"What does that mean?" Masaki Keigo, who was busy studying the plasma spark tower and never had time to learn Ultra's signature, looked at the 'hieroglyphs' from the universe on the screen and asked Casto with some confusion, "Although I haven't learned this kind of writing yet, if I'm not mistaken, Asuka Kazuma's speech looks like a curse word?"
"Um, is there a possibility that it's swearing?" Castor looked at the words in the sky and twitched the corner of his mouth, "That guy started to rush us, and you also know that his time is a little tight.
And he also said that if the Lightning Man continues to stay on the earth, there will probably be a series of supernatural and monster incidents. "
When it came to the mutation of the Lightning Man, Castor was a little helpless. He had a good plan, but it was too late.
"What is his claim?" Masaki Keigo frowned unconsciously when he heard about the monster incident. "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, if it is so laborious, why not?"
"Kill them?" Castor looked at Masaki Keigo, and then thought for a while, "From my standpoint, it's not impossible to kill the lightning people. If the lightning people really start to attack human civilization, then I will definitely do it. You go first, you can trust me, but... we shouldn't be the ones to take the initiative to attack."
"Even at the beginning, I just drove away the lightning people forcefully and did not kill them with my own hands." Castor replied seriously, "Maybe you think I am hypocritical, but this is the difference, I can't take the initiative to attack Lightning Man, I don’t know if this is worthy of the Warrior of Light’s fighting style, but this is my choice.”
Masaki Keigo's brows furrowed even more tightly. He couldn't understand why there was a real difference between active and passive. If there was no difference, would such behavior mean a waste of time?
Castor looked at Masaki Keigo and said, "There is an old saying in China."
"A person who knows the current affairs is a hero?" Masaki Keigo asked.
Casto:
"No! It's the gentleman who is far away from the kitchen."
Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Castor to suddenly say such an allusion.
This allusion is indeed not a niche one, so Masaki Keigo actually knows this story.
This sentence comes from a famous saying by Mencius, "A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he can't bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he can't bear to eat its meat. This is why a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen." '
In the traditional Chinese etiquette system, it is simply established as a code of conduct: "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and he cannot practice it if he has the spirit of blood." '
But precisely because Masaki Keigo knew this sentence, he understood that this sentence itself was regarded by some people as evidence of human hypocrisy.
As the saying goes, "Hearing the sound, one cannot bear to eat the meat." This means that when a gentleman is far away from the kitchen and sees the animals struggling and whining before being slaughtered, a moral person will feel pity and cannot bear to do anything to him again. Since he cannot bear it, he should stay away. Well, just because I pity you doesn't mean that others also pity you, but I can only control myself.
On the surface, this sentence seems to say that a 'gentleman' can do nothing about the slaughter of animals, but in fact, a very simple and easy-to-understand truth is placed in front of everyone. The so-called 'gentleman' also wants to eat Meaty.
The 'gentleman' just pretended and closed his eyes. He chose to ignore the killings that would definitely happen in the real world.
Looking at Castor, Masaki Keigo vaguely felt that he understood what the other party meant. In a sense, the relationship between the animals waiting to be slaughtered and the 'gentlemen' was the same as the current situation between lightning people and human civilization.
As long as the Lightning Man does not attack humans, humans will not choose to eliminate the Lightning Man, but the best case scenario is just to send the Lightning Man into the universe.
But what is the difference between sending the lightning man into the universe and the 'gentleman' closing his eyes and turning around to leave the place of slaughter?
It's all out of sight and out of mind.
"Lions eat wolves, wolves eat sheep, and sheep eat grass. This is the instinct of survival. There is no distinction between good and evil. The same is true for people eating animals. This is also survival. There is no difference between good and evil." Castor suddenly said He said, "So when a 'gentleman' sees the food on the table, he doesn't actually have any uneasiness, because it is just food after all.
but! Being intolerant doesn't mean you won't kill, nor does it mean you won't eat even if you kill, because the food chain in nature is like this, and it has nothing to do with good or evil, so I don't think it's hypocritical. "
Castor also had doubts about his behavior, but at most they were just doubts. In the end, he chose to use expulsion to keep himself out of sight and out of mind.
He still had something he didn't say to Masaki Keigo. He didn't want his knowledge to affect Masaki Keigo.
But who is Masaki Keigo? He just glanced at Castor, who was hesitant to speak, and understood that there was something else in the other person's heart, that is, although it is natural for people to eat food, but it is not right for people to kill animals. Will be tested internally.
Unlike the food that is already on the table, the nature of the animals is different when they are still jumping around.
It is impossible for some people to care about the animals' struggles and whines when they slaughter them. Some people even feel happy and excited from the bottom of their hearts.
But when civilization develops for a period of time, people will feel more or less sad when slaughtering animals, and people will begin to feel unbearable. This is a kind of compassion from the heart, a kind of kindness, and a kind of kindness. Even if you don’t want to admit it, this is also a manifestation of the progress of human civilization.
Masaki Keigo understood that although Castor made his own choice, he never denied that people like Dr. Mizuno protected and sympathized with the lightning people, because that was proof of the existence of 'light' in the human heart.
"I can use 'The Gentleman's Far Kitchen' to prove my innermost feelings." Castor looked at Masaki Keigo, "I know that this truth cannot convince everyone to expel the Lightning Man, but this is the answer I chose. I can have a clear conscience when facing questions from anyone, and I can achieve inner self-consistency on my own."
"But you! Masaki Keigo, you need to find the answer yourself. Whether you choose to expel, choose to eliminate, choose to do your best for them, or choose to ignore them, you need to find the true thoughts in your heart, and find the thought that is consistent with your inner will. ."
The frenzy of cheating brought by the universe next door suddenly made the matter between Asuka, Kazuma and the Lightning Man no longer hot at all.
Before the Ultra Signature appeared, the TPC people and Masaki Keigo had forgotten about the Lightning Man and that there was another person in the solar system who had been waiting for them.
Kazuma Asuka does indeed recognize his human identity, which is why he is willing to return to the solar system from the universe. However, Kazuma Asuka's real enemies are the monsters in the universe, especially the strange lights with parasitic abilities. ball creature.
The moment he got the light, Asuka immediately understood that this strange ball of light creature would be his lifelong enemy.
In the previous conversation with Asuka Kazuma, Castor knew who the enemy Asuka Kazuma was facing. It was a special creature that would become the main enemy of mankind in the future and existed in other universes - Sphee. Ya sphere.
From this, he also understood why in the original work, when monsters appeared on the earth, Asuka Ichima did not return to the earth, but chose to continue to fight in the universe.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The monsters on Earth are indeed dangerous, but the invaders in the universe are also equally dangerous.
Although the dangers on the earth are more intuitive, the dangers in the universe also need to be stopped by people. In Asuka Kazuma's heart, this is the same thing, and this is why Asuka Kazuma chose to stay in the universe after gaining light. .
Because of this, Castor has never met Asuka Kazuma except once before when he said goodbye.
So when Castor looked at Asuka and Kazuma uttering some "dirty" Ultra signatures to him, Castor was not surprised at all. He was sure that if the Lightning People were not actually a civilization, Asuka and Kazuma even had Maybe just send all the lightning people away, and then go directly to the depths of the universe.
Not long after Ultra's signature appeared, the voice of Asuka Kazuma appeared in the minds of Sawai, Yoshioka, Minamihara and others, and he began to urge TPC to implement the previous plan.
Director Yoshioka came to the victory team's command room anxiously, "Are we going to start? But our atmospheric environment modification technology has not been perfected yet. Now we can only improve it on the basis of the original Mars system, which means we can only Build some thin atmosphere on Mars.”
"Wait, has it been decided?" Horii looked at Director Yoshioka excitedly, "Has the TPC leadership decided to accept the Lightning Man?"
Yoshioka nodded, "It is now certain that the lightning people located in the ionosphere are actually a civilized race composed of intelligent creatures. Although humans are not yet able to communicate with them, one day in the future, humans will We will be able to communicate with them, and in that case, we should accommodate them if we can."
"But..." Hui Jian frowned. She was obviously one of the people who knew the high-level decision, "The transformation of Mars is expected to take a few years at the earliest."
"That's enough." Castor said, "Asuka and one horse are capable of defeating them."
At this time, Director Sawai's picture appeared on the big screen, "Why is Asuka Kazuma so anxious? Doesn't he care about the identity of the Earthlings at all?"
"Um, you ask me?" Casto asked.
"You can obtain atmospheric modification technology. To be honest, I'm not sure whether you are a 'human' or not." Director Sawai said angrily.
"Director, I also picked it up with your own hands!"
"Oh, you grew up eating Baijia's food!" Sawai said, stunned for a moment, "Wait, too?"
Seeing that Sawai wanted to ask more questions, Castor quickly said, "Wait, I remembered. Asuka Kazuma told me that there is a powerful parasitic creature in the universe. After this creature combines with other life forms, it can accurately It is said that after devouring and parasitizing them, they will turn into powerful monsters. In fact, Asuka Kazuma has been fighting this kind of monster in the universe."
"Parasite?" Yoshioka frowned, "If that's the case, then Asuka and Kazuma cannot stay in the solar system forever."
"But the transformation of the atmosphere cannot be completed in a short while. Where should the Lightning Man go first?"
"I don't know where to go first. I only know that if the flying birds don't return to the universe, then those parasitic creatures may rush into the earth, and what they like most is the huge body of the Lightning Man after mutation. After all, , parasitizing a hundred humans, it is impossible for a giant fifty-meter-tall creature to appear."
"Wait, you mean, that kind of parasitic creature will eat the monsters that the Lightning Man mutates into??? And they will also eat humans??"
Castor was just about to speak when he heard chaos around him. Yoshioka shouted loudly, "Start the Lightning Man relocation plan!! People from the police station are ready to take action! Go to the designated location according to the plan and use the plane Guide the Lightning Man!!!”
"All members of the Victory Team are here!" Megumi also began to issue orders, "Lina, you are in charge of the test machine equipped with the Max power system, and the others will drive the Victory Feiyan to escort. Our target is the test aircraft over the Pacific Ocean. A lightning-man mutated monster.”
"Remember! This is not a battle order. What you have to do is to use the Max power system to bring that monster from the earth to the universe!"
Castor took out his handheld computer PDI and was about to start sending a message to Masaki Keigo to remind him that he could take action. Suddenly, Minamihara rushed in, "Wait a minute!!! Should we prepare some gifts for Asuka Kazuma!" !!He represents the earth after all!! Also, all the satellites are ready, we plan to record this scene!!
damn it! ! Is it possible for our people to follow him into the universe? ! There are such parasites in the universe. Even if we can't encounter them now, shouldn't we be prepared first? ? "
"If nothing else, that thing is still far away from us." Casto explained, "It's not time to pay attention to them yet. Wait until the time is right."
"The time is right?" Nan Yuan looked at Casto, "What is the sign that the time is ripe? We are going to build and develop on Mars. Is the time ripe by then?"
"Wait a minute, the image of the huge light life form has been detected." Ye Rui's voice interrupted Nanyuan, "I'll cut the screen now."
The Delta Space Station in Earth orbit and the lunar surface base all captured a huge figure.
The giant is standing outside the earth, using light to guide the outermost lightning people to leave the earth.
"Is this figure a savior?" Nan Yuan murmured, "No! Where is the personnel department? The previous treatment was still too low. They directly arranged the family members of Asuka Kazuma according to the highest standards and sent people to appease their emotions. Forget it, I’ll go there myself when the time comes.”
"Castor, are you coming too? Castor?"
Nan Yuan looked around and saw that Castor had already disappeared.
