Chapter 1389 The Call of the Stars (22)
The light in Karma Taj's meditation room is always dim, but when the sunset comes, the golden light falling on the ridge of the Himalayas is reflected into the round Zen window by the white snow, but it is brighter.
The two people sitting in front of the window seemed a little silent, and after a while, Stark spoke first: "Do you think the owner of the notebook said 'the absurd has the beauty of the absurd', is it right?"
Strange frowned, looked into Stark's eyes, his eyes were very serious, and said: "I may not have the answer you want here, in the eyes of mages, whether it is vulnerable Neither the body nor the thin and fragile soul can be called easy to use, and it can even be said to be a drag."
"You look like a real black mage."
"I am."
"You know what? Stephen, you've changed a lot." Stark tilted his head and looked at Strange, as if trying to put pressure on him with his gaze, but Strange shook his head and said, "You don't have to be with Strange." I play this trick, which doesn't mean you haven't changed."
"We are all exploring the future of human beings, so we have done a lot of inhumane thinking. Of course, I have thought about how to sublimate human souls into stronger existences, and don't tell me that you have never thought of treating them like this. their flesh."
"You used 'they'." Stark opened his eyes slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with the word, but Strange shook his head bluntly and said: "You and I both understand, it's not that you didn't Ascension to Iron Demon God, you are really exactly the same as those ordinary people who work on the ground, this is impossible, Tony."
"No matter in terms of physiology or psychology, we can no longer be completely consistent with ordinary people in what we see, hear, and think, because we have to walk in front of them, explore the way for them, and walk behind them. Drive them forward."
"If we pursue too much standing with ordinary people in a crude way, it will only lead to our narrow vision, which will make everything a mess. We are not the group of young people, and no one has the ability to defend our mistakes. Human beings pay in the wrong direction.”
"So why should you be ashamed of your superior perspective and the thoughts in your head that might be evil to ordinary people?" Stephen stared at Stark and said, "You didn't really catch them Do experiments, and so do I."
Stark seemed a little silent, he seemed to be undergoing a change of thought, and then closed his eyes in pain, and said: "Even if I think the most precious thing about human beings is their wisdom, such a monster shape can be Was it accepted?"
"Or, I have never abandoned my superficial sense of belonging and love for human appearance, but I can't accept that when a group of monsters possess human intelligence, they should also enjoy the same civilized society as us, instead of being destroyed?"
"I'm not a psychiatrist." Stephen shook his head and said, "But I can guess that after you saw the truth revealed by the owner of this notebook, you didn't have sympathy for the group of monsters that were destroyed, and you didn't have any sympathy for those who destroyed them." It contradicts your earlier insistence on the supremacy of wisdom and sanity."
"Exactly." Tony smiled wryly, and said jokingly, "You should get a psychiatrist's license."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a degree." Stephen shrugged and poured another cup of tea for Tony. After taking a sip from the teacup, Tony said, "My reason is telling me that the process of transforming humans into monsters is nothing but Evolutionary pains, they may just have taken a different path."
"It's like I once thought, can ordinary people take the road of mechanized transformation? Now think about it, what is the difference between connecting a circuit in a certain part of the human body and growing tentacles?"
"Of course, you will get their consent."
Tony froze for a moment, but Strange leaned back on the back of the single sofa, raised his chin slightly, and said in an extremely arrogant manner:
"Humanity will never accept any fate that is manipulated."
This was like a bell resounding in his heart, shaking Stark out of those trivial tangled philosophical thoughts.
"Perhaps, human beings abandon part of their limbs to grow tentacles and mucus is an optional path in physical evolution. They can abandon the achievements of existing civilization and destroy them once, and be transformed into another life without knowing it. form, without even realizing the transformation, is this evolution? No, it’s a massive abduction and illegal transformation involving all of humanity.”
"Tony, you've always been arrogant, but you're not arrogant enough." Strange put another leg on his own, and said, "It's up to humans to decide which direction humans will evolve. Humans only recognize human beings." the savior of God, not some illusory god."
"No matter how beneficial and great this evolution is to mankind, it cannot be done without the consent of the subject of evolution. If they do this, and even ask us to regard it as a gift, then think about your old profession— —How humans used the industrial revolution to kill the god of good weather.”
Tony smiled, looked at Stephen and said, "You should get a psychiatrist's license, I'm serious."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of tea and lowered his eyes and said: "I think what you said is right. Human wisdom and reason do determine that they have the right to choose and decide. We are a kind of people who can choose and make decisions." Intelligent creatures who are responsible for their own choices, not lambs who blindly kneel on the ground and wait for someone to bestow their blessings."
Strange turned and leaned on the armrest on the other side, and said: "Schiller and I hold a view that the dark side of human nature is the driving force for the development of civilization."
"I think, if God came down in person and announced that human beings must do what he said, and his orders really touched the interests of some people, then they would dare to take guns and kill God."
"Sing what is lacking. Human beings are Judas, so they imagine Jesus."
Strange also picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, and said in a slightly indifferent tone: "I'm sorry for what happened to the human beings in this world, but since they didn't notice the coming disaster at all and had no chance to resist , did not succeed in resisting, then they deserved the end of being destroyed."
"Don't say that they can still maintain a life in a normal and orderly society. Before the lamb is slaughtered, it also thinks that it owns the entire grassland. If the entire civilization has no chance to fight for independence, it is better to sleep forever."
"Give me liberty or give me death?"
"I would rather die if you are not free."
"How do you feel?" Jarvis asked, wrapping Wanda in a blanket he found downstairs.
As the breath of the night became more and more intense, everyone began to tremble with fear. The encounters in the previous two nights gave them too much blow.
Young people never lack courage. Even a short-term failure will not make them too frustrated. They will soon adjust their state and rejoin the battle. But what makes them feel powerless and panic is that they didn't even look at it. If you don't know who the enemy is and how you were attacked, you have already failed.
The so-called scars on the back are the shame of the soldiers. This group of panicked little lambs were slashed severely without even knowing where their backs were. If there was another knife, the slaughterhouse would probably not want them up.
Night finally fell.
A few people flinched and sank themselves on the sofa, waiting for the trial that would come at an unknown time. Jarvis made some coffee for everyone. He also found it downstairs, but no one was in the mood to drink it, and all of them were pale. , looking dull.
An hour passed quickly, nothing happened, and the eerie silence was the only thing in the room.
Another hour passed, and the night was pitch black. If Jarvis remembered correctly, it was at this time that Riley lost control when the first night came.
"How are you feeling, Riley?" Jarvis asked.
Riley was clearly a little startled. He almost jumped off the sofa, then shook his head vigorously and said: "I don't feel anything."
"How are your ears?"
"I..." Riley paused, then looked at Jarvis with some embarrassment and said, "I know you want us to feel better, but you really don't have to be so loud."
In an instant, everyone stared at Riley with wide-eyed eyes. Riley blinked, and some didn't understand why they did this. Soon everyone came to Riley again. Wanda raised her voice and asked: " can you hear me?!"
"Of course I don't..."
Riley froze suddenly, then he touched his ears with his hands, shook his head vigorously, but nodded again, stood up from the sofa in a panic, and said: "I heard your voices Yes, but, but not by ear."
"My ears are still hurting, my eardrum is broken, and I was too hard at the time, which may have damaged the auditory nerve. I couldn't hear anything before, and the world was quiet as if dead."
"But, but just now Jarvis's voice came into my head, I didn't hear them with my ears."
So Jarvis turned away so that Riley couldn't see his mouth, and lowered his voice, "Can you hear me now? Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"Of course I can, and I don't really like coffee," Riley replied instinctively.
He stood there in shock, looked down at himself in disbelief, and Jarvis motioned him to sit down, and began to ask him:
"Did the voice appear directly in your head?"
"Yes, it's a bit like the movement I heard when I was talking to myself in my head. What I heard seemed to be my own voice. The tone and attitude of your speech were all imagined by me."
"And what about the song you were talking about?" Wanda leaned over and asked.
"I'm not sure if it's still ringing." Riley said, frowning. "I've got so many voices in my head, my spider sense is back on and it's different, I don't know what to say."
Suddenly Riley was taken aback, looked at Jarvis and said, "Jarvis, your water is ready."
Jarvis was stunned. He didn't understand why Riley said this suddenly. A few seconds later, the sound of boiling water bubbling came from downstairs. He had indeed boiled a pot of water just now.
Several people walked downstairs together, and Jarvis asked, "Did you hear the sound before the water boiled?"
"Probably, but the form is a little different from what you think."
Jarvis stopped, and Riley explained with dancing: "I saw a picture-a silver coffee pot was hung on a makeshift support, and there was a fire underneath, and it The lid was thrown up by the boiling water, and then fell to the ground on the right side."
Wanda rushed over the two recklessly, then turned her head to look at Jarvis who was coming, and asked silently if the scene was like this. When Jarvis held her hand, Wanda Da understood that everything Riley said was true.
"Unbelievable." Jarvis commented: "Is this a form of spider induction? Predict the future?"
"I don't know," Riley said, shaking his head. "All I can tell you is that I heard it all, and what I heard made a picture in my head, and I said it."
Several people tested it a few more times, and found that Riley's lost hearing and his spider sense seemed to be integrated. He could hear everything around him, and even the future of everything a few seconds later, which was incredible.
"what!"
Wanda suddenly screamed.
