Chapter 63: Treasures of Humanity (Part 2)
Looking at the alien who seemed to be very familiar with him, Kitahara Sora frowned and asked in confusion, "Did you hear our conversation just now? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Hmm, I heard it all. It was intentional. Not only me, but also her."
The alien suddenly pointed at the sky, and Ling Xiang, dressed in white, floated down like a fairy from heaven.
"She originally wanted to kill you. You should know that you cannot defeat her with your current strength. It was because I repeated your conversation that she changed her mind. How is it?"
The alien had a look of wanting to be praised, rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "Don't you want to thank me?"
"Kill us, but then you changed your mind?" Kitahara Sora ignored this guy's deliberate antics and looked at Ting Xiang who had already floated over with confusion.
"Because you are the culprit of all this, I don't want the world to be destroyed now, so I originally wanted to kill you who caused these tragedies."
Ling Xiang smiled calmly and explained, "I didn't have time before, but now that the energy field has stabilized, I changed my mind."
"Why……"
"Why?" The alien explained for Ling Xiang: "Because, you are the treasure of mankind. What you have is not possessed by any other race. We yearn for it and look forward to it."
His frivolous and cynical expression subsided, his face serious yet with a hint of sadness, "Perhaps, it was your conversation that saved us? Because we are also human beings..."
"You? Humans?" Yukino's expression was also a little confused.
"Well, we, she is no longer a monster. She and I, like you, belong to the category of living creatures."
The alien nodded and explained seriously: "In the beginning, I did come to Earth with a 'bad' purpose. I was ignorant when I first arrived, and the only thing in my mind was the execution of orders. The tactics of the fake coin assimilation test were already a 'genius' plan for me. After all, I was not allowed to have the ability to think..."
At this point, Kitahara Sora glanced at Tsukasa beside him and asked in confusion: "Is it because of her?"
"she?"
The alien shook his head and smiled, "It's not her, it's Ling Xiang."
"It's not just because of Tsukasa, right?" Yukino nodded politely at him and smiled, "Are there any other reasons?"
"Wow, you are very smart, young lady."
The alien nodded slightly and explained in a longing tone: "Because it is a treasure of mankind, it is like your 'D product' to me. I can't get rid of it now that I have come into contact with it."
"I originally planned to assimilate humans and turn the life forms on this planet into a testing ground, but then Shuxiang appeared. She made me feel that the brilliance of humanity does not lie in technology and weapons, but in something else. She made me realize what we lacked, but she died..."
Yes, the kind-hearted Xingxiang died because of extremely boring reasons. In the following time, the aliens only felt the despicable side of human beings, which could make them do "astonishing" things for their own purposes.
Shuka was killed by Kaito. The reason why the aliens did not kill Kaito was, firstly, he did not understand what revenge was, and secondly, he believed that there was no need to save humans anymore, and letting them go might be the best option.
However, during this period of time, he discovered that there were more people like Ling Xiang. Humans are complex, despicable, and great...
He began to have serious errors in self-perception. He wondered why he was a living being just like humans, but was a defective creature compared to humans.
So, the alien began to yearn for humans and began to observe humans. He longed to obtain something called "humanity" from humans, and also wanted to see how far things would develop and what the end of humans would be.
When an intelligent creature is out of the control of its tribe, it will become contradictory and possess a trace of "humanity".
"That's it. I started to have thoughts. I wondered why I appeared in the universe, who I was, whether my existence was just a tool for the group, or whether I had something I should do, because I had human nature, and so did she."
The alien smiled at 'Ting Xiang', and the girl in white nodded politely in response, and continued: "I have great power. I am the owner of 'energy control' that they expect. I am the breakthrough of his experiment. 'Monster' is just a title imposed on me by others."
"From the moment I was born, I was a 'creature', a relatively advanced life form. The hatred I had for the world was only imposed on me by Kaito. I was ignorant and kept killing people and exploring the truth..."
'Tsuka' sighed slightly, "I have known for a long time that I am not Tsuka, and I am not Aiko. I am just me. I still don't have a name. I have killed many people, and at the same time I have been secretly observing them. Finally, I have determined that I am actually a 'human' because I have Aiko's genes. I was made from her ribs and hair. She is my... mother."
"this……?"
Kitahara Sora was shocked, she never expected the plot to develop to this point, that the 'Monster Shuka' would actually grow up and develop human nature in the end!
Unexpected, yet reasonable?
"So from the beginning, helping Kaito destroy humanity was just a matter for you to do, and now blocking Tokyo is a decision you made after thinking independently?"
Xue No helped Hui walk a few steps forward, came to Tsukasa, and asked: "Since you have already thought about it, why don't you end it as soon as possible?"
Yukino asked the question that everyone was wondering. Since she, like the aliens, had a yearning for humans, and clearly did not want humans to perish, and clearly knew that she was also a part of humanity, why did she still help Kaito-sama to commit atrocities?
"This question..." Shuka turned her gaze to Hui, tilted her head slightly and smiled: "This lady killed Kaito, but do you think I have hostility towards her? He is my creator, and most of the power in my body comes from him."
"Hmm?" Hui blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion: "I don't understand."
"Because we are a monarchy clan, Kaito is very upset with me, but he doesn't dare to do anything to me because I am his creator, which is equivalent to his father."
The alien sneered, "Things that are 'against human nature' only put shackles on your mind, but we are more than just mentally. Kaito can kill his parents very easily, but he can't kill me. I feel oppressive towards him. He can't even gather strength to attack me, so Tsuka can't kill Kaito. From this perspective, he is equivalent to Tsuka's 'father'."
"So that's how it is." Yukino nodded in understanding.
"So you're already very upset with him, but you can't do anything about him, right? You're even expecting someone to kill him?"
Kitahara Sora suddenly let down his guard, took off his shirt and bandaged the wound on his chest while asking, "So, what is your purpose now? Just letting us go because of our conversation? Knowing that our mission is to kill you?"
"We..." The alien suddenly hesitated, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he sighed heavily, "We have learned some truths in the past year or so, and we understand what you humans mean by 'good' and 'bad'."
"'Good' things give me a kind of mental reaction called 'pleasure', which I have never experienced before, while 'bad' things make my mind reject them. I don't want to take in too much. Humans have good and bad sides, which are contradictory, but both are indispensable."
"I feel the 'good' side of you, but Dirang, who 'cooperated' with me, only makes me feel that he is too repulsive. You wiped out the ruling group in order to make the government give up and save the world, while Dirang created panic and forced the army to kill civilians in order to kill you..."
"Although your purpose is for your own benefit, in my mind, the way you deal with it is to distinguish between the 'good' and 'evil' of human beings. In addition, your conversation just now also made me feel happy. This is also the reason why I persuaded Ling Xiang not to attack you."
"So, assuming we contact you after entering, you will listen to us sincerely instead of hypocritically cooperating with Di Rang???" Kitahara Kong suddenly widened his eyes with an incredible look.
"But I don't know." The alien spread his hands helplessly, showing that he had no choice, with an innocent look on his face. "At first, I was afraid of you. After all, you can already 'control energy'. I was afraid of the civilization behind you. I have lived on Earth for so long that I have developed a biological instinct of 'fear of death'. I don't want to be killed by you because the Earth is so interesting. Since I have emotions, the term 'desire' has also come with it. I have a lot of things I want to do."
"What was your previous purpose?"
Beiyuan Kong thought for a moment, and then asked the question he wanted to ask the most, "What about your tribe? Have you still cut off contact with your tribe? Do you not want to return?"
The alien suddenly frowned and thought for a full thirty seconds before answering, "I am a 'rebel'. I have been unable to contact my home planet for a long time. I should say that I dare not contact it. After all, when I took the initiative to cut off the connection, I touched a taboo, just like the consequences of a mechanical life form disobeying orders... I think you understand what I mean."
After hearing this, Kitahara Sora suddenly understood.
In a civilization similar to an insect swarm society, the option of disobeying orders is impossible. For example, the worker ants at the bottom of the hierarchy do not understand what "disobeying orders" means at all.
But the alien disobeyed orders, and the consequences of his action are almost unpredictable.
He did this out of selfishness, after all, the technology on Earth is very backward, but it made him truly become a living being.
If he chooses to betray, it will not bring any adverse consequences to his own tribe, so he has no psychological pressure. This is probably the inference.
"So it's the same for Shuka?" Kitahara Sora turned to the girl next to the alien, "You made the same choice as him out of curiosity?"
"If not, how was my birth?"
The girl in white smiled and nodded, "I hate the name Ling Xiang. I am not her, but I was born because of her. I have thought about it and felt confused..."
"Perhaps I was born because of Kaito's childish persistence. I agree with the original intention of my birth, but I deny the meaning of continuing to exist for this purpose. I am exactly the same as humans, exactly the same as Shuka, but I cannot enjoy everything that humans should have. I have lived in the forest with Kaito for nearly two years. During these two years, I have carried him on my back to explore the human world more than once..."
"His goal is to awaken Tsukasa's memory, even at the cost of destroying the world. But I have imagined that if Tsukasa really awakens, what will I be? Will I disappear? Or will I merge with her? Even if Tsukasa awakens, the world will have been destroyed by then? Will I drift aimlessly in the universe, or will I live with him on a lonely earth with only two of us? Then what is the meaning of my existence?"
The girl lowered her eyes, a trace of worry between her brows... But seeing this trace of worry, Yukino suddenly remembered a sentence that Kitahara Sora had complained about her in the Service Club classroom. She recalled it and then read out loud.
“Humans are social animals.”
The girl's gentle tone made the alien and Tsukasa raise their heads at the same time and stare at her intently.
Then the blond man laughed exaggeratedly, and Lingxiang also had a faint smile on his face.
"Yes, humans are social animals. 'Good' and 'evil' are human instincts. However, as this kind of creature, while 'evil' exists in their thoughts, their instincts will move closer to 'good' because this kind of behavior will benefit themselves and others. Being self-interested is also a manifestation of selfishness. That's why I have a so-called good impression of your behavior and a so-called good impression of Tsukasa..."
The alien's eyes became red as he laughed. When he remembered that he was still an indescribable thing, Ling Xiang walked up to him with confusion.
When my stomach growled, I handed myself a bottle of water and a piece of bread covered with microorganisms and bacteria to fill my stomach, and told myself that I was hungry.
On the spaceship and among the tribe, I would replenish my energy on time and I had never experienced the feeling of hunger.
Humans, that’s great.
He smiled and laughed, and suddenly said to Kitahara Sora, "Hey, I'm hungry."
Then Kitahara nodded slightly and took out two bowls of fried rice noodles from the ring...one bowl was handed to the alien and one bowl was handed to Tingxiang.
Yukino suddenly developed a little evil taste and said quickly before Kitahara Sora could: "Slightly spicy."
"Oh--"
The alien picked up the chopsticks and started to eat voraciously, slurping the noodles without caring about his image at all. However, Lingxiang stared blankly at the fried rice noodles in front of him, and after a while he took a small bite and put it in his mouth.
"That's great, that's great." The alien Sihashaha chewed his food with big mouthfuls while complaining, "Di let that bastard eat the apple without sharing one with me. He deserves to be defeated. I should have contacted you guys earlier."
"Can I bribe you with food?"
"Hmm... How should I put it? The gift Dirang gave me was a corpse. Yes, yes, that was the big bald guy you killed. He thought I would be interested in it. I am indeed curious, but what can I do now? Can a tribe that has never betrayed others make amends?"
The alien seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly smiled at Kitahara Sora: "Your mission is to stop the coin battle, right? Killing me is just the quickest way, right."
"Don't look at me like that. If your mission required me to be killed, I wouldn't be so stupid as to stand out. Dirang's only role is that he told me everything I need to know."
After the alien said this, he burped comfortably, then looked at Beiyuan Kong expectantly, opened his mouth wide, and gasped.
The meaning is very clear, if you are spicy, you need to drink water.
But Kitahara Sora, Yukino, and even everyone else remained unmoved, because at this moment, the observer's cold reminder came to their minds...
"Team Izumo has completed the main mission and ended the 'coin snatching war'. Each person will be awarded 2000 points. Do you want to return to the space now? If you don't respond, you will be forced to return after 300 seconds."
This……
"you……"
"You guys are leaving? Right?"
Seeing the astonished looks of the people in front of him, the alien smiled gently, "Let's go, let's go. I may have thought about destroying humanity after the death of Ling Xiang, but I rejected this decision after I gained thinking power. The reason why I let it go completely may be that Kaito was finally killed by you, or maybe it is..."
He fixed his eyes on Ling Xiang who was beside him. The girl was also panting, eating fried rice noodles in a clumsy but cute way, with her mouth full of chili oil.
"Maybe she has woken up too. In fact, I have also been bound by 'obsession'. I have always wanted to avenge Tsukasa, but I don't understand the meaning of revenge. I have wanted to kill Kaito more than once, but each time I stopped because of the 'malice' in my heart. Maybe I was expecting him to have a more miserable end..."
"I will not appear again. Hui and Shuka will have new names. This farce is over. We will become real 'humans' and live on until we get tired of playing and leave the Earth. Your mission is over."
After he finished speaking, he continued to eat the fried rice noodles in his hand, no longer paying attention to Kitahara Sora and the others.
Looking at the alien's 'heart-to-heart' response, Kitahara Sora also understood why the mission was suddenly completed.
The mission is both simple and difficult. You can complete it by talking to him and killing Kaito... But the prerequisite is to make Shuka "wake up", or is annihilating the ruling cabinet a plus in his eyes?
This time the main line and branch line are born together!
The explanation makes sense. The Observer is worthy of being an Observer. He has filled in all the bugs and unreasonable places in the original work... He will not ignore any details.
It can even be said that the characters in this mission's plot are just to confuse the reincarnations, and Hong Ai and Xiu Yi are really dispensable.
The protagonist created by the original author is not worth mentioning in the context of the expanded worldview. The real enemies are the government and human greed.
In order to complete the mission, the government must be destroyed. Contacting aliens at the beginning may not necessarily make it easy to complete the mission.
If Kaito and Shunka are in a state where they can communicate, and Kaito is bound to fight with Shunka, then in this situation... I'm afraid they will be wiped out in a matter of minutes.
It was Komuro Takashi's accidental actions that separated the two of them... Was it necessary to kill Kaito when Shuka saved the world?
The 'correct' way for an observer to pass a level is really... terrifying if you think about it carefully.
"Hiccup~"
A burp from the alien interrupted Kitahara Sora's contemplation. After he heaved a sigh of satisfaction, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked Kitahara Sora, "I said before that I would give Di Rang a return gift, but he is dead, so this gift will be given to you."
After his body squirmed for a while, a bottle of crystal-clear liquid as dazzling as a diamond appeared in his hand. It was different from the black strengthening liquid he gave to the collector in the plot. This bottle of "drink"...
"This is my most important gene sequence, which I have researched over the past two years. It should be useful to you."
Ling Xiang raised her head and glanced at the bottle, nodded and added: "I also injected life energy into it, and the effect is that it can make organisms evolve, probably."
"Yeah, there won't be any side effects. You won't turn into a monster."
The alien once again showed that expression of seeking praise, and continued: "Leave this to us. The virus will not spread, and we can solve Tokyo's problems within three days. So... goodbye?"
At this moment, Kitahara had no time to pay attention to the aliens and Tsukasa, because he fell into a daze as soon as he took the bottle of gene sequence.
Because the observer's cold reminder flashed through my mind.
"Obtain A-level special item, super gene active cell, use: bloodline upgrade (high probability of failure), revive fallen teammates. (Note: requires the body to be more than 90% intact and has been strengthened.)"
Resurrection props...it's actually a resurrection prop!
He suddenly raised his head, looked at the body of the tough guy, and then ran towards him like crazy.
Kitahara Sora's face was grim, and he bit his teeth tightly...but the observer's ruthless voice sounded in his mind again.
Five minutes are up...
Kitahara Sora's running body began to fade, starting from his feet and turning into a pile of data cubes. He touched the tough man's body, but the next second his eyes blurred.
