Dinner starts as usual——
There was just one more vacancy between Ken Noland Souse and Miya Orido Kio.
The time to eat is always short.
After eating and drinking, Miyazaki, Orito, Kio, Malu and others began to clear away the tableware.
Lux went to the kitchen to prepare tea.
Noel followed Tutor Marchiong to the study room.
"This is like the first time we've met."
Instructor Malchio put his cane aside and smiled at Noel.
"should be."
Noel nodded.
He had often heard the name of Teacher Marchio, but this was indeed the first time he had seen this real person.
"What are your plans next?"
Instructor Marchio had a warm smile on his face.
"Plan? What's the plan? I'm just going to eat and wait to die."
Noel laughed to himself.
"What an unexpected answer."
Teacher Marchio replied.
"Unexpected - is it really like this?"
Noel narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Teacher Marchio with a smile.
Others may not know their physical condition, but the blind man in front of me——
Throughout the world line of Seed, there is almost always the shadow of Teacher Malchior.
Like Durandal, he can be called the mastermind behind the seed world.
It's just that the two have different goals.
"You - are not a person who gives up easily, at least not in my impression."
Teacher Marchio replied.
"Subjective impressions can kill."
Noel retorted.
"I know something about your situation, and I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you."
Teacher Marchio sorted out his vocabulary and replied.
"Are you sorry? This is not a good word to describe."
Noel smiled hoarsely.
"Actually, you don't really have no chance."
Instructor Malchio said thoughtfully.
"What's the meaning?"
Noel's heart tightened subconsciously, but after a moment, he automatically became cold again.
"The New Human Plan has always had two paths, natural evolution and artificial future——"
Instructor Marchio explained: "However, natural evolution requires time to settle, and it is also full of too much uncontrollability, so there is an artificial future."
"You don't want to say that I represent the path of natural evolution, do you?"
Noel seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help laughing.
Natural evolution?
I almost turned into a medicine jar and yet I evolved naturally——
"In fact, whether it is natural evolution or artificial future, the two are closely related."
Instructor Marchio explained: "As I said, compared to the path of evolution, human lifespan is too short and uncontrollable, so people abandoned the path of natural evolution and chose Artificial future.”
"So there are adjusters, strengtheners, expanders—"
"I can understand the Enhancers and Expanders, but Adjusters—it seems like they existed before me, right?"
Noel was a little unable to understand what Teacher Malchior meant.
The adjuster appeared before himself, the strongest natural person, and this——
"The New Human Plan has been around for a long time, at least before the first generation of Tuner George Glenn came along."
Instructor Marchio explained.
In fact, until now, no one knew how George Glenn appeared.
As a first-generation adjuster, George Glenn has too many mysteries.
Be aware that even now, there is no guarantee that an adjusted baby will meet the expectations of the adjustment plan.
But George Glenn just showed up, in a way that even now would outshine most adjusters.
"Then what does this have to do with me?"
Noel had no intention of exploring the truth, nor did he have the time.
What he was more curious about was the meaning of mentor Malchior and what he said.
"Actually, no one knows what kind of human being is the new human being. From the birth until now, the new human being is just a conceptual term, and it has no specific definition."
Teacher Marchionne answered the question incorrectly.
After finishing speaking, Teacher Marchio pondered for a moment and then continued: "But precisely because it is just a probability, it means that it has infinite possibilities."
"You don't want to tell me that I can be saved if I become a new human, do you?"
Noel couldn't help but laugh.
Can genes break and become new humans to be saved? What an international joke.
However, Noel soon stopped laughing because Teacher Malchior was staring directly at him.
"This joke is not funny at all!" Noel's expression was ferocious.
He smelled a familiar scent, and he wanted to use his own scent!
"At least it represents a possibility, doesn't it?"
Instructor Marchio asked: "You have hit the bottom. No matter what, there will be no worse situation. Why not give yourself a chance?"
“Haha—a chance?”
Noel suddenly shook his head and laughed when he heard this. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the emotions in his heart and said: "I once heard a saying - we always think that one day, one day..."
"I have been blinded by the sweet poison labeled with hope, symbolizing opportunity, future, and possibility, and struggling to move forward in the darkness——"
When Noel said this, a complex smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Hope is really beautiful, and the future must be beautiful as well. I have never doubted this."
"But, I'm really tired."
“I once opened a candy called Hope and got poison.
“But I didn’t give up because of this, I just followed the light of hope to find the next hope——”
"Hope, despair, hope, despair—"
"I have struggled, hesitated, suffered, fought, and worked hard. I have experienced many cycles of hope and despair——"
"I no longer want to move forward for the so-called hope and future. I don't know what the New Humanity Plan is, nor what the future of mankind is. I have always been just an ordinary person, who just wants to live a stable life and end quietly in birth, old age, illness and death. ordinary people.”
After speaking, Noel stood up directly and smiled at Teacher Marchiong: "I think it's time for the cycle of hope and despair to end. At least in the last moments of my life, please let me rest peacefully."
After speaking, without waiting for the mentor Marchio to speak, he turned around, opened the door and walked out of the study.
Hopefully it will be a life-saving medicine for some people.
But for me, it is an addictive poison.
Feeling Noel's footsteps gradually retreating and the door slowly closing.
Teacher Marchio fumbled with the wooden staff and slowly stood up, saying: "Even so, do you still choose to let him become your sword blade——"
As Teacher Marchio finished speaking, the back door of the study slowly opened, revealing Lux holding coffee.
"I really want to be a little mean."
Lux looked at the coffee and tea she had just mixed in her hand and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
In fact, she came over when the two were talking about the new human plan, and the result——
She didn't know why she did this, but she still stopped thinking about pushing the door open and entering.
"His heart has become cold and has become a blade that cannot be wielded."
Instructor Marchio said slowly.
"Teacher, you may have made a mistake."
As she spoke, Lux put the coffee on the table and said in the direction of Teacher Malchior: "Noel has never been my sword, but the future I chose."
