Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 62: Just a Necessary Sacrifice (Today's Update)
"grandfather."

Seeing that Dr. Min remained silent, little Li Xiu suddenly asked him a soul-searching question.

He said, "I see people on TV, sometimes they cry, sometimes they laugh, so why do I have no expression at all?"

This question made Dr. Min even more speechless.

He turned his head away, not daring to look at little Li Xiu again.

...

The images on the projection continue to switch.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiu has grown up.

As for Dr. Min, due to his advanced age and the psychological pressure brought by the "Tower Prison", he fell completely ill in bed.

At the moment of death.

Li Xiu just stayed quietly by Dr. Min's bedside.

——Perhaps because he watched too much TV when he was a child, Li Xiu has a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose when he grows up.

It is not difficult to judge from Li Xiu’s age: now should be the beginning of the 21st century, when the resurrection technique has not yet been discovered.

Therefore, the dead cannot be resurrected.

Facing life and death, there was no expression on Li Xiu's face, so it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad at the moment.

In addition to Li Xiu, standing beside the bed was the young researcher who had appeared before, as well as several strangers who were suspected to be Dr. Min's family members.

"Li Xiu ah"

In the ward.

Dr. Min narrowed his eyes and called out Li Xiu's name.

The latter came forward upon hearing the voice, shook Dr. Min's hand and said, "I'm here."

Dr. Min said somewhat unwillingly: "I have been researching 'pain shielding' all my life, but I never succeeded until I died."

"In that respect, I have failed."

“But it’s not all failure.”

"I still have you."

Dr. Min weakly emphasized: "You are a genius."

"Before you were born, I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams that a human could be as smart as you."

"China's rapid development is definitely due to your contribution."

“That’s all thanks to me.”

At this point, Dr. Min couldn't help but smile.

He said with emotion: "In my life, I have lived up to my organization and country, and even more so to the people of the world."

"It's just that." Dr. Min grabbed Li Xiu's hand and said, "I am worthy of everyone in the world, but I am sorry for you."

"you"

His tone became tense, and he asked Li Xiu: "Li Xiu, do you hate Grandpa in your heart? I turned you into this without your consent."

"Although I am doing this for all of humanity, it is a necessary sacrifice."

"But this is not fair to you."

Bedside.

Li Xiu calmly pushed his glasses up on his nose with his hand.

He controlled his facial muscles, trying to lift the corners of his mouth and gave a very forced smile.

"Ah,"

After a light laugh, Li Xiu said to Dr. Min nonchalantly, "It's okay. It's just a necessary sacrifice."

Dr. Min turned his head away when he heard this.

You can see a tear falling from the corner of his eye, but it's only one tear.

Obviously, he is a very strong person.

After controlling his emotions, Dr. Min continued, "Li Xiu, you are a genius in my eyes. You are the hope of all mankind."

"God is fair."

"Although because of me, you have lost the emotions that humans should have."

"But in terms of intelligence, you surpass everyone I have ever met. Maybe this is what they call "there is always a price to pay for every gain!"

As he spoke, Dr. Min suddenly became humble. He said in an almost pleading tone: "Li Xiu, Grandpa asks you one more favor. After I die, please help me complete the 'pain shielding experiment'. This will be the fulfillment of my last wish and leave a way out for the future of mankind."

After saying that, he solemnly stuffed a palm-sized black iron piece into Li Xiu's hand.

"Then"

After handing over the chip, Dr. Min glanced at the other people in the ward.

He continued, "After I die, delete my birth and death records from the personal files, and change the names of those who were born at the same time as me to be exactly the same as mine."

"That way, I won't be disturbed."

"Remember this."

After saying this, Dr. Min held Li Xiu's arm and dropped directly from the bed.

he died.

"dad!"

"uncle!"

For a while, wailing and crying sounds continued in the ward.

Only Li Xiu stood there, with an expressionless look on his face.

He held the black chip tightly in his hand.

The force was as if the chip in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Even bystanders like Xie Shen could vaguely feel the burden that Dr. Min had imposed on Li Xiu.

That's a responsibility.

The content on the projection screen stops abruptly here.
in the room.

Zhuge Fu, who had watched the whole process, couldn't help but sigh: "Li Xiu, I really can't tell normally. I didn't expect it's not easy for you."

"Ah,"

Li Xiu chuckled and said indifferently: "Thousands of years ago, a great man once said this: If the sky had feelings, it would also grow old, and the right path in the world is vicissitudes."

“What this sentence means is: The right path in the world can only be found through changes.”

"So I will become ruthless, which can be regarded as a kind of change in the process of human beings seeking the truth!"

“It’s just a necessary sacrifice”

Is it a necessary sacrifice?

After hearing this, Zhuge Fu remained silent.

After a long while, he finally changed the subject and said to Li Xiu again: "So, the black chip that Dr. Min gave you, in addition to recording your childhood, also records data about the 'pain shielding experiment'?"

"Yeah." Li Xiu shook the chip in his hand.

He emphasized: "This chip is a way out for us humans."

"Once we return to the space station, I will restart the 'Pain Shielding Experiment' and continue the research that my grandfather failed to complete."

"When one day in the future, humans are really forced into a dead end, I will use this technology to block out all the suffering of humanity."

"No, there is a question I have never figured out." Zhuge Fu was puzzled after hearing this: "Speaking of which, can't the resurrection spell refresh a person's status? So even if you block a person's pain, as soon as he dies and his status is refreshed, won't the blockage disappear again?"

This question is easy to explain.

Before Li Xiu could speak, Xie Shen rushed to reply: "So it is obvious that this technology works on the level of human consciousness."

"In fact, if you think about it, you will know."

Xie Shen analyzed: "The country has invested so much manpower and material resources, and even Dr. Min has spent his entire life trying to complete this project. It must be more than just a matter of affecting the body, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Xiu who was standing beside him.

The latter nodded and responded: "Indeed, Xie Shen is right: this technology not only works on the human body, it will also fundamentally change people's cognition at the level of consciousness."

"This"

Zhuge Fu couldn't help but complain after hearing this: "Why does the technology that Dr. Min left you sound so much like an underground curse? Could there be any connection between the two?"

"Who knows?"

Li Xiu didn't want to continue chatting with Zhuge Fu and others.

Now that the chip was in hand, he immediately took the lead and walked out of the room, urging: "Let's go, don't waste time."

"Hurry, let's go to the nearest tower prison!"
