"Of course, isn't that what's written in the advertisement?" Ishido Soichi shrugged, "The miraculous power that makes humans evolve~"
"Generally speaking, this is all exaggeration," Wanzhang Longwo let out a long breath.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Ishido took a sip of coffee and tilted his head to one side, his mouth slightly raised. "Now, everyone has power."
“Is this really a good thing?”
Reid and Kiryu Sento said in unison, and even Ishido Soichi was stunned by this sudden tacit understanding.
"Isn't this... a good thing?" Shi Dongsuo raised his eyebrows.
"The first thing humans do after obtaining powerful weapons is to fight for territory with their own kind," Kiryuu Sento commented lightly, crossing his legs and supporting his profile.
"Power will open the door to human desires and give them foolish courage. They don't know if they can do it, but after gaining power, they will swell up and think they can do it."
"The destruction and chaos caused by such foolish courage are far more terrible and difficult to control than a long-planned conspiracy."
"So my judgment is that Gaia Memory is Pandora's Box that will lead to the collapse of human society."
"Hmm, huh? Wait a minute!" I nodded subconsciously with my hands across my chest, then I was stunned and widened my eyes, "Battle Rabbit, didn't you say that Gaia Memory is a great invention that promotes human evolution!"
"Promoting human evolution and causing the collapse of human society do not conflict with each other," Kiryu Battle Rabbit raised his fingers and shook them left and right. When I curiously put my face close to him, he bent his fingers and flicked them heavily on my nose.
"Fool--"
"it hurts!"
"Before human society collapses," Reid crossed his arms and sighed, "the thugs in [S·L] will abuse the power of Gaia's memory first."
The museum's advertisements stated that it would never sell Gaia memories to terrorist organizations.
But the scalpers have never made any statement.
Chapter 301 Maybe I came at the wrong time
After Reid and Mazel left, I muttered that it was time to exercise, and went to their secret base through the secret door with protein powder. Kiryu Battle Rabbit continued to drink canned coffee there.
Only after hearing the thumping sound of Manjo Ryuga's fists did Kiryu Sento turn his chair to face Ishidō Soichi.
"What are you playing again?"
"Huh? Hey, hey, hey - Sento, why are you looking at me with such suspicion?" Ishido Soichi put down the cup and raised his hands above his head.
"I never knew there was a regular here named Metzl," Kiryu Sento shook the can of coffee in his hand.
"Battle Rabbit, this is [S·L], anything is possible," Ishido Soichi raised his head meaningfully, "Even if there are customers who like to drink my handmade coffee, it's a normal thing."
"I just had some doubts just now, but now I'm sure," Kiryuu Sento's eyes jumped, and he reached into his pocket with his right hand and pulled out a driver with a joystick, "Evolto, you violated the agreement between us."
"Oh, it's just a joke, just a little joke." Ishido Soichi stretched out his hand to suppress it, then turned sideways to think for a while and raised his finger, "In short... time has been manipulated."
Kiryuu Sento was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"There is no way to tamper with time now."
"So, someone did something to change this. Now, we can manipulate time again."

After leaving Nascita and walking a distance, Red leaned over to Mazel's ear and whispered, "Mazel, did you remember something?"
Mazel was stunned, raised her hand to fix her hair and smiled slightly, "No, I just felt that the owner of the coffee shop was very familiar. He might really be my friend."
"Then come to Nascita more often," Red nodded seriously, but after hesitating for a moment, he immediately added, "But forget about the handmade coffee, canned coffee is also good."
Mazel's expression froze, but she nodded anyway.
Today went smoothly for her overall. The foreshadowing of memory recovery was laid, and Ishido Soichi was also very cooperative. The only problem was Ishido Soichi's coffee. As a Greeed, she had no sense of taste, and everything she drank tasted the same. So she didn't know what Ishido Soichi's handmade coffee tasted like, and could only judge based on other people's reactions.
Judging from Red's expression at that moment, the drink was probably not just unpalatable.
But in the previous timeline, she had been imitating Ishido Soichi's method to make coffee for Red, but she never saw Red show that kind of expression. Could it be that... because of the two timeline changes, Red's taste changed?
Metzl was puzzled, but decided never to order handmade coffee again.
Just as Reid and others were about to cross the road, a voice calling out came from afar, but the owner of the voice seemed unsure of the situation so the voice sounded hesitant.
"Reid?"
Before Red turned his head, Qiao and Metzger had already looked over. The exaggerated tacit understanding made the person who called Red stunned and subconsciously took a step back.
"Xiao Xing?" Reid was stunned.
"Hey - I didn't expect to meet you here," Xiao Xing, holding the flower pot, smiled a little awkwardly, her ethereal eyes wandering. It was not that she didn't dare to look at Reid, but the eyes of the two people next to Reid were too direct, making her feel a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have come at the wrong time."
Baluba, who was hiding in the dark, covered her forehead with her hand, shook her head helplessly, turned around and walked out.
What do you mean I seem to have come at the wrong time? How can I say such cowardly words in front of my competitors that are no different from surrender?
If she wasn't sure that Xiao Xing had that kind of thoughts about Reid, she would have wanted to just pull her clothes down her shoulders and go into battle herself.
"Isn't this Red? Let me guess. As a modern Kuuga, you appeared on the street. If you are not looking for a target to kill for the Million Game, then it must be for the Gaia Memory that was suddenly sold publicly today. Do you need me to provide some information?"
Baluba walked to Xiaoxing's side and put her hand on her shoulder, cutting off her chance to escape.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. You've helped us a lot, and I'm not someone who doesn't know how to repay you, right, Xiao Xing?"
As the saying goes, since there is no way to improve your own grades, then find a way to drag down other people's grades, which means that your own grades... will improve.
She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the way Qiao and Mazel looked at Reid.
Mazel raised his brows and became alert.
Are there any experts?
"Do you know about Gaia's memory?" Reid was a little surprised.
"You know, our game is a point system, with different points given based on different strengths. The existence of Gaia's memory, how should I put it, has forced us to re-plan the points we had previously sorted out. Of course, the most important thing is..."
Baluba paused and then smiled meaningfully.
"The main target of Gaia's memory sales is humans. This makes humans no longer a target that most Gurongi don't even have the interest to kill."
Reid's eyes narrowed.
"So, in order to avoid some unnecessary accidents, don't you think we need to talk?"
Baluba leaned her head against Xiao Xing's and smiled at Red.
"In Xiao Xing's flower shop."
----
A burly man with a fierce face stood in front of the gate of the power station. He twisted his neck left and right and stretched out his hands. The heavy door was easily torn open by him as if it were made of paper. Of course, this action also triggered the alarm of the power plant. The ceiling sank, and a number of heavy guns flipped out and aimed at the man.
【warn--】
[Please leave immediately]
The man threw the torn door back casually and stepped over the warning line. In an instant, tongues of fire spurted out and a terrifying metal storm swept towards the man. The ground on the man was directly torn apart by the terrifying metal storm, and the choking smoke was raised and torn apart again.
Logically speaking, this set of bombardment would only find some minced meat in the ammunition.
But then a horrifying scene appeared. A huge hand stretched out from the smoke and dust, and rushed forward to face the metal storm. The metal storm, which was enough to smash a beast-shaped monster into pieces, could only pick up a few sparks when it fell on his body.
"You think you can stop me with just a toy like this?"
The guns that served as a defense system were easily smashed, and the man walked through the passage and came to the center of the power station. He pulled out a section of high-voltage cable and was about to stab himself with it when a figure walked out of the darkness not far away.
"Ger Chan Da - this method won't make you stronger or dispel the fear in your heart..."
The man paused, his eyes bloodshot as he slowly turned his head to look at the man in the darkness who was dressed as a senior salesman and smiled gently and modestly.
Chapter 302: Craving for No Longer Ordinary Madness
Xiao Xing Flower Shop.
Wearing jeans and a rustic work apron, Xiao Xing held a sunflower and kept her head down, not saying a word, as reserved as a country girl who had attended a high-end banquet.
This was obviously her store, and the decoration hadn't changed at all, but because of the presence of Metzl and Baluba, it felt so high-end that she was having trouble breathing.
Baruba was wearing a high-end dress and an exquisite and somewhat exaggerated sun hat. She drank her tea gracefully and naturally, making her cheap tea sound high-end. Although Metzger was not as exaggerated as Baruba in her dress, she was younger but had an indescribable maternal temperament. She was not at all nervous in front of Baruba, and she managed to grab a piece of territory under Baruba's suppression.
"Um - aren't we going to talk about Gaia's memory?" Reid raised his hand and complained weakly.
Baluba and Metzger, who were engaged in an eye-to-eye battle, twitched their lips at the same time, and Qiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ahem - I was just choosing words, ahem -"
Baluba coughed hard several times before she adjusted her mentality. Of course, even though her mentality had adjusted, she still felt a little resentful in her heart. Metzger looked like a very greedy guy. Letting a guy like Metzger stay with Red would definitely be a huge disaster. It would be better for her to do it herself than to expect Xiaoxing to fight for it herself. It was rare that she was so dedicated and wanted to squeeze out Xiaoxing's living space under Metzger's greed. Red, the wooden man, actually interrupted at such a critical moment.
"Although it's only the first day, a large number of Gaia memories have already poured into [S·L]," Baluba took a sip of black tea and said slowly, "Right now, the people of [S·L] are immersed in the joy of the gift of destiny called Gaia memory. People outside [S·L] are trying their best to enter [S·L] in order to receive such a gift. I'm afraid that in two days, the population of [S·L] will reach a new peak."
Baluba paused and added meaningfully.
"So many that no one would care that [S·L] suddenly had a lot fewer people."
What a coincidence, what a small fortune. Metzler was puzzled as to why Baluba would suddenly add such a strange sentence. However, after experiencing two time resets and knowing that many people had been eroded by the mirror world and disappeared silently, Red immediately stood up and stared at Baluba with his pupils slightly shrunken.
This is definitely no accident.
People who don't know that time has been reset won't care even if they know someone has disappeared, even if the missing person is their loved one or friend. Under normal circumstances, with so many people disappearing without a trace, the citizens in [S·L] would definitely be scared and ask Servier Turia to come forward to explain.
But Baluba knew that many people suddenly disappeared from [SL].
Did Baluba also know that time had been reset? Or...did something unexpected happen during the second reset of time because Professor Kagawa defeated Kanzaki Shirou?
"That is to say... a large number of people who are targeting Gaia's memory will flock to [S·L] recently," Qiao raised his chin and thought for a while before raising his eyebrows.
"That's right - no one... the vast majority of mediocre people in this world cannot resist the power that can be obtained easily and without paying any price."
Baluba originally wanted to say simply that no one in this world can resist the temptation of power, but after looking at Red, Baluba felt that her idea was too arbitrary and self-righteous, so she changed her words.
"Red, do you think that someone who simply put his life on hold and came here desperately to seek power at almost no cost would become a hero? Or... a villain?"
Red opened his mouth and was about to say as a matter of course that everyone has the qualifications to be a hero, when the faces of Shibaura Jun, Sudo Masashi, Sano Mitsuru and others appeared in front of him. But soon, the backs of Kido Shinji, Tezuka Umiyuki, Kagawa Eigata and others appeared beside him.
"People are just people. This world is fair. Everyone has the opportunity to become a hero." Red leaned against the flower stand and shrugged with a relaxed look on his face. "Isn't it?"
Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and was about to speak when he felt a vibration in his pocket. After looking at Reid, he leaned slightly to the side and took out his cell phone. After glancing at the information displayed on the phone, he frowned immediately, put the phone back naturally, and quietly took a few steps towards the door, with no intention of leaving.
"You really look like someone who would say that."
Baluba smiled helplessly and took another sip of coffee. The tone of her voice, as if she knew Red very well, made Metzger raise an eyebrow immediately, but she had to admit that her unhappiness mainly came from the fact that the lines she wanted to say were snatched away by her.
This guy is indeed an enemy!
Metzger immediately classified Baluba as the key opponent. As for Xiaoxing, since Xiaoxing was always holding the sunflower and had little presence, and looked like she was forcibly pulled over by Baluba to support the scene, Metzger did not take Xiaoxing seriously.
Servais command tower.
U held his chin and stared at the screen in front of him that displayed the sales volume of Gaia Memory.
Today has not yet ended, and the orders for Gaia Memory have already been scheduled for a month later. Two-thirds of these orders come from outside [S·L]. Just today, the museum proposed a plan that surprised other sponsors.
That is to sell Gaia Memory outside of [S·L].
Servile Turia has always had a clear rule that under no circumstances can anything inside [S·L] flow to the outside world.
This should naturally include Gaia memory.
Most of the funders naturally rejected this proposal with all their might, and they used some righteous reasons, such as Gaia memory is not without side effects, the impact of weak toxicity cannot be ignored, for example, what if Gaia memory falls into the hands of thugs? [S·L] There are thugs everywhere, which does not mean there are no thugs outside.
The museum did not directly answer these reasons, but gave a rather ambiguous answer.
Humanity is facing the crisis of extinction, and Gaia Memory is the only hope to save humanity.
From a rational point of view, U cannot refute the museum's argument. The society maintained by [S·L] where monsters and humans coexist is not perfect. It is more like a runaway motorcycle. Only by maintaining high speed and rushing forward can it avoid overturning.
In this process, human beings are undoubtedly the fuel being burned.
Human beings are really too fragile, and most of the methods to make them less fragile are no different from gambling with their lives.
And Gaia's memory is hope.
Almost no side effects and usage conditions, powerful effect.
No one can stop the madness of human beings in their pursuit of hope and their desire to be no longer ordinary.
Chapter 303: She doesn't look aggressive
"But what will you do if some thugs abuse Gaia's memory?"
Baluba likes Red, who believes that everyone has the opportunity to become a hero. This is what the current Gurongi desires. Even if such a Red cannot allow the Gurongi clan to continue... he can at least allow the Gurongi clan to have a glorious ending.
It was because of her love that Barbara hoped that Red would not be hurt by her own thoughts, but Barbara still underestimated Red.
