The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 166 Thunderbolt
Like a bolt from the blue!
Ziliang, Harley Quinn, and even Old Joey's world view, which was shocked by these words, were shaken.

Could it be that the X Academy we come to every year is not a classroom full of joy and growth at all, but a slaughterhouse?
Are the playgrounds, lawns, and sunshine outside the window actually decorations on the surface of the slaughterhouse?

Ziliang resisted the shock: "Could it be that Shirley is dead?"

Professor Wagner didn't speak, but lowered his head quietly and slightly.

"Hehe, how is it possible, you are lying to us, right?" Harley Quinn smiled reluctantly and said, "How could it be possible to kill a person just because he has the potential to be a level 5 mutant? That's just a possibility"

Professor Wagner nodded: "Yes, it's just a possibility, but the consequences of this possibility are beyond the reach of all of us together."

"But." Quinn seemed to want to say something else.

"No but!" Professor Wagner suddenly interrupted her: "No matter what you want to say, it's meaningless, because you haven't experienced the great war, so you don't know how terrifying a fifth-level mutant is. .

I saw with my own eyes a fifth-level mutant standing there quietly and doing nothing. Everything around him began to decompose and turned into dust, and then the dust was decomposed again into tiny particles that could not even be seen by the naked eye. A fifth-level mutant is enough to disintegrate the entire earth into scum. If such a person exists, how about two?or three?They don't care about the life and death of human beings at all, and they don't even need human beings in their consciousness. What they destroy is to let one person die in this world, or let tens of millions of people die, which would you choose? ? "

"I don't know, I haven't seen that kind of picture." Old Joey suddenly interjected in a low voice: "Killing one person in order to save many people sounds like a good deal, but Shirley is my friend , it feels bad, and I don't know if you can understand."

"Of course I can. The person who disintegrates the world in my mouth is also my friend." Professor Wagner said lightly.

"Not only that, the person who killed her is also my friend, and the person she killed is also my friend. And this situation, in those wars, is a choice that almost everyone has to face.

You have all studied "Introduction to the History of Mutants" by Professor McCoy. The history of mankind is actually spent in constant wars. We kill each other, then we are tired, and we mourn for each other. When it is launched again, those mourning people will scream more cruel than anyone else. This is nature. In fact, until the X Act was promulgated, human beings finally had no more wars. Therefore, we cannot make anyone an exception , even if those people are our friends, parents, teachers, benefactors... that's what we take on. "

There was a moment of silence, people opened their mouths slightly, but they were all speechless. Act X, a few minutes ago, it was still an incomparably beautiful term, but at this second, it seems to have become a term that you can’t even refute. demon.

"Actually, we can all think about it for the better. In fact, Shirley is not dead." Professor Wagner said suddenly: "Or, she is still alive in another way."

"What?" Everyone was surprised

"Professor Charles considered a lot when he established Bill X. This proposal was indeed cruel, which was inevitable, but it also minimized the cruelty." Wagner said, still looking at Ziliang: "You know why except Besides you, did no one notice Shirley's strangeness?"

"Because other people's memories have been tampered with!" Ziliang replied.

Wagner nodded: "Yes, but this is only one aspect, and more importantly, all the memories of Shirley Birkin have been completely implanted in the current 'Shirley Birkin' In other words, the little girl in front of you is exactly the same as Shirley Birkin except for her appearance. Even she herself will think that she is the real Shirley. In this case, then she How is it different from the original Shirley?"

This passage is a mouthful, but Professor Wagner said it very clearly. Obviously, he has recalled this kind of words countless times in his mind, and he has even said this passage to many people.
Ziliang frowned. The successive facts made him completely fall into a state close to dementia. Yes, if it is true that all memories have been transferred as the other party said, then it is a change of skin , So, is Shirley still dead?
Suddenly, Zi Hao thought of another question.

"No, since Shirley's memory has been transferred to the current body, where did this body come from?"

"Vegetable people." Professor Wagner dispelled Ziliang's doubts with a few simple words: "Act X is much more complete than you think. Although the number of human beings in the post-war world has been extremely rare, every city Every year, a few or even more than ten vegetative people will be added, that is, those whose hearts are still beating, but whose brain waves are as calm as stagnant water. Everyone who is predicted to have the possibility of becoming a level 5 mutant will be in these vegetative people. Choose a suitable body from among them, and then become a new memory carrier. In this way, it can not only eliminate the hidden dangers that threaten the safety of human beings, but also make the original "dead" rejuvenate. This is the most perfect solution we can think of. plan."

Ziliang shook his head, although from a rational analysis point of view, this approach is indeed the most perfect, but his mind is still struggling as if unwilling to give up, and even more and more flustered, as if a voice is constantly telling himself , and that's not all, it's also a lie.

So, he rubbed his head vigorously: "Then how can you guarantee that there will be no problems with the bearer of this memory? You are not the ones who have been injected with memories, what if there is a mismatch between them? , What if something goes wrong, such as hallucinations, or simply going crazy? This may just be your wishful thinking." Ziliang asked.

Professor Wagner smiled helplessly: "Yes, there are indeed some differences between different bodies, but looking at it now, no one seems to have any discomfort except you."

He spoke quietly, then, he walked to the wall, took out a book from the stack of documents, and handed it to Ziliang.
