Am I really from the future?

"Ah? What did you say?"

Kiana wondered if there was something wrong with Bronya. Could it be that Bronya's aesthetic taste had changed in such a short period of time?

"Don't look at me. I personally prefer the futuristic aesthetic design with a cyber-mechanical aesthetic."

Bronya expressed the future style she desired. She did not want the future to enter the strange Baldur's Gate style.

At most, she just liked to look at the brain in the tank soaking in nutrient solution.

"That's it for now. I'll assemble a simple limb for her temporarily. If necessary, I can let her run around."

Nored's tentacles grabbed the brain monster that was running around on the ground, and as it kept chattering, several limbs inserted into its back.

The brain was transformed into soft living intestines like a twisted dough stick, and then twisted into flesh wings and retracted.

Only two big golden eye beads and a talking mouth were left there.

The curses Xilin uttered were nothing more than some random words like "human", "revenge", "law enforcer", "god", etc.

"I really don't understand. In the future, there will be very few people who will exterminate their own kind because of personal emotions or victim emotions. In our era, most actions are based on reason and personal needs. Just like killing elephants for their ivory, unless there is a necessary social need to kill people, there will be no industrialized population elimination."

"You are such a primitive man, you are always driven by low-level emotions like good and evil, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Even if you want to destroy all human beings in order to build a new natural world without humans, I can understand you."

Norred seemed to be very contemptuous of the reasons why the Herrscher destroyed humanity. He thought that the reasons why the Herrscher destroyed humanity were too low-level.

Xilin seemed to know that her verbal attacks had no effect and would only make this guy look down on her. Especially since the nutrients she needed to satisfy her brain exercise had to be provided by Nored.

Although Xilin could leave Norred's body for a short period of time, she had no organs to provide nutrition, which caused her power as a Herrscher to be locked in her brain.

Not to mention that the core gem now didn't listen to her at all, and for some reason this person's willpower was so strong that it made her feel overwhelmed.

"Is there nothing that caused his mental breakdown?" Xilin fell into confused thoughts.

After all, he was a man from the future. What kind of scenes had he not seen? Just some primitive social and emotional problems were enough to shake and collapse Norred's will. This was too much for a man from the future.

"We have almost dealt with the Herrscher matter. I have already dealt with Kiana's head. Mei, does your head need to be dealt with as well? I see you have a gem on you as well. What if you also have the Herrscher consciousness?"

Nored's eyes fell on Raiden Mei, and everyone's eyes also fell on Raiden Mei's head.

Miss Lei Dian was so frightened that she immediately put her hands on her head.

As soon as she thought about her head growing limbs and running around on the ground, she suddenly felt a strong sense of identity as a human being.

What Herrscher, what anger? What does the little pain of school bullying matter?

What does it matter if my father took me for human experiments?

Mei Raiden would never allow her head to turn into a little monster running around like Kiana's. She would rather commit suicide on the spot than allow such a thing to happen.

"I am an optimistic, positive girl who is full of hope for the future. I will never harm humans! Please rest assured that I will never give birth to any Herrscher consciousness!"

After saying that, Mei Raiden showed a sunny and cheerful smile of a young lady.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with her mental state, which makes everyone feel more at ease about Raiden Mei.

"Even if I knew something about the Herrscher's consciousness, I couldn't tell it...right?"

Mei Raiden's back was covered in cold sweat under her clothes. She absolutely could not speak out the strange thoughts that occasionally popped up in her mind and were beyond her control.

She shuddered at the thought of the fate of the Herrscher in Kiana's body.

They didn't know whether the running head was Kiana or the Herrscher's consciousness. They couldn't tell whether the head was real or not.

"This is so scary. What kind of enemy did these people from the future face that they had to come to the modern world to solve the problem?"

Mei Raiden couldn't imagine such a scene. She only felt that an enemy who could make Norred feel helpless must be a formidable existence.

Nored had no intention of continuing to ask Mei Raiden's intentions. He was preparing to carry out his next strategy.

Now he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but at this time he has no other helpers except these few people under his command.

How is this possible?

Norred thought that he should proceed with the next military expansion plan, but before that he had to take control of Changkong City from the primitive people.

He didn't come here to kill people or conduct human experiments for fun.

These things have existed in history. Nored believes that there must be a lot of primitive people doing this kind of thing, but these people just don't do it openly.

"We have a lot to do next. My personal suggestion is that we should first expose some of the human experiments to them. Let these naive primitive people know their situation first."

Siegfried and Cocolia were a little confused when they heard Norred's words.

But seeing Norred smiled and said, "Soon the primitive people should know that everyone knows that the powerful people are not doing anything, but they can't do anything about their suffering."

"This in turn proves the cruelty of the primitive society of this era. They will soon collapse and fall into chaos, and the entire world will further accelerate its development."

"Then we can carve off this small country in the Far East and officially become the group that rules this country! What do you think? Doesn't it make sense?"

Kiana had an indescribable expression on her face. She felt...

What Norred said seemed to make sense.

Chapter 047 Norred: I emphasize again, the evil god is you

"Leave this matter to me!"

Cocolia slammed the table to indicate that the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor of Changkong City were her affairs.

It's just some dark side of society. If she wants to find it, can't she find it in minutes?

"Where do we start first?"

Cocolia is already impatient and wants to show her skills now.

"I have roughly learned about the situation of this small country in the Far East. After my in-depth research, I found some unusual problems."

Norred even kindly prepared a thick stack of documents for everyone and said, "These are all the problems they reported, and they have not been corrected so far. This shows that their so-called social supervision has seriously failed and most of the contradictions have been covered up."

"The first one is that the number of homeless people is increasing day by day, but the local government said it's okay and has driven them back to the countryside. The second one is that the nuclear power plant has been in disrepair for a long time, and the leaders seem to have embezzled public funds, and we still haven't found out where the public funds went. The third one is about the hereditary succession of parliamentarians. A reporter spoke out for justice, but since then, I have never seen related news reported by the reporter."

"The fourth one is, oh, it's about the rape of locals by American troops in the Far East... I skipped it. The fifth one is, huh? It seems that interest rates are going to be raised again, and I don't know where the printed money has gone. The sixth one is that anonymous reporting and investigation channels have been added, but there are no blind spots in front of the anonymous channels. Wow, this is too hot."

"Article 7..."

Nored simply found a total of sixty-seven social problems, which he threw directly onto the table like a bound book.

Mei Raiden blushed when she saw this.

"Damn it! Why hasn't this country been destroyed yet?"

Siegfried sighed in astonishment as he looked through all the messy problems that had emerged. The thought that this society could still function despite all these problems showed that human resilience was far beyond his imagination.

"Some time ago, the owner of this house was framed by the judicial and regional administrative departments. I avenged this old man. He even thought I was some evil god?"

"You must be kidding. There are so many evil cults in this place. Do I need to be the evil god? The locals know what an evil god looks like better than I do. Really, these primitive people just don't have good brains. I just want to be the emperor in primitive society. What's wrong with me?"

Nored was actually a little angry. He felt that he was looked down upon by the primitive people, which hit his self-esteem as a future man.

If he could control the brains of primitive people at will, why would he bother with such backward social organization? Did he think he had too little trouble and work?

Kiana was a little curious, she really didn't know what the evil god looked like.

She felt that at most she looked just like Norred.

"What does that evil god look like?" The white-haired girl asked directly as soon as she thought of something.

He thought for a moment and said, "Evil God, this is relatively simple. You just need to personify your local government."

Norred's words made Bronya exclaim.

'Is he really a genius?!'

"The 'evil god' will first accept your offerings with a clear conscience, and its believers will emphasize its role in 'protecting' you, while also emphasizing your own material weakness, further completing the process of rationalizing its existence. At this time, neither your offerings nor your needs will be responded to. The look it casts on you will make you tremble, and make you feel as if you have been stripped naked."

"At this point, a contrast between the strong and the weak is formally established. You will try to use your own progress and hopes to fulfill its attention and rewards for you. If you don't get this attention and reward, you will feel anxious and angry at the people around you, thinking that others have received your rewards."

"After that, you will gradually become extreme and crazy, and then a kind of stupidity will be born in your heart. You will imagine that the other person is an all-encompassing goddess, a great mother figure. You will be afraid of being abandoned by her, because there will be other evil gods staring at your flesh and blood, ready to devour it at any time."

"These evil gods attack each other for their own desires. If you are even slightly touched, you will die."

"The essence of the 'evil god' is nothing more than a being that you cannot see or understand. It can give you some benefits, but also pose a huge threat to you, and at the same time it requires you to sacrifice everything you have. It is a huge, indescribable 'other' that is opposed to your existence."

"This is the evil god."

Norred explained calmly: "When facing a powerful being, the worst that can happen to humans is death. So those who worship evil gods are not worshipping evil gods in essence, but worshipping the powerful 'big other' created by humans themselves, which controls themselves."

"I don't think I need to explain too much about this kind of thing. This kind of novel is just about writing about the feeling of being imprisoned in a 'prison', and then covering it with a layer of mysterious cosmic color."

“Most of this literature is similar.”

“These works are not cosmic horror novels per se, but large-scale cage novels of magical realism.”

Nored's explanation made everyone understand a lot more.

Siegfried had never expected that people in the future would have such an understanding and interpretation of the literary works of their time.

The background of the story seems to have undergone bigger and broader changes, but this is only a change in the cage of human cognition.

"As expected of a person from the future, your words have given me some ideas about the contents of these novels. I never had such insights when I read to kill time before."

Siegfried was in awe of Norred's learning progress. The speed at which this future man was learning was beyond his imagination.

Who would have thought that the evil gods in literary works actually have substitutes in reality?

Who would have thought that people in the future would believe that the horrors of evil gods and the like were created by humans themselves?

No one would care about this kind of thing except those crazy writers who specialize in studying literary works.

But do you think Norred is someone who likes to study literary works?

He is obviously not that kind of guy, and this is clearly the future knowledge and insights he has preserved for himself.

"So what are you going to do? Do you want to eliminate this 'evil god' that exists among humans?"

Mei Raiden was a little curious. She thought that no matter how much people in the future promoted human progress, they would not be able to help humans to this extent.

It turned out that she was right.

Norred waved his hand and said, "What does the life and death of primitive people have to do with me? They brought this upon themselves. We, the future people, also experienced their pain before we were born. Our purpose is very simple, to further promote the distrust of human organizations within the human race, so that local protectionism will rise."

He stood up, and the fleshy wings behind him slowly opened.

"You can just talk, why did you touch me?!" Xilin was furious.

"I want to build an incubator for future humans in this city."

"I've already thought of a name..."

Norred said proudly: "It's called Academy City!"

Bronya couldn't help but complain: "Did you plagiarize something?!"

Chapter 048 Tesla: Here I come! Where are you?

The people from Anti-Entropy have arrived at the Far East Branch.

They didn't expect that their own personnel would be detained by the people from the Far East.

"What the hell is going on?! Why was Cocolia detained in the Far East?!"

Theresa glanced at the fiery-looking person who had come, and then looked at Ji Zi, who was even more fiery-looking, beside her.

'Why is this woman here?'

He was a scientist at Laboratory 42 of the Imperial Research Institute under Tianming, one of the founders of Anti-Entropy, and also one of the executors of Anti-Entropy.

Frederica Nikola Tesla

A woman with a hot temper is also a troublesome person.

Theresa was too lazy to say anything more. She was not the type of person who liked to do more.

So he handed over all the information he had obtained to Tesla.

As the saying goes, 'while the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains'. Theresa has done nothing recently except learning some military tactics from her grandfather.

Theresa didn't have much understanding of what the art of war was, but she probably grasped a way of working that made her less tired.

"Someone wants to ascend the throne and establish a country in the Far East, and he has even negotiated with the Valkyrie under my grandfather to cede Changkong City to him, allowing him to occupy the land there."

Tesla didn't understand what Theresa said.

The red-tailed girl thought Theresa was being funny. How come in modern times there are still people who want to be emperor?
