Violators of the Doomsday Game.

Chapter 586 I need a scapegoat, and you need one too

"Commander Du, what's going on with you?" It had only been four days since Mao Chuan saw Du Keng again.

But Du Keng's appearance has changed a lot. Except for his eyes which are still bright, he looks much thinner.

Coincidentally, today is the day when the Original Dragon Lord will arrive. Mao Chuan is not sure whether Du Keng deliberately wants to meet him at this time or is just free now.

"It's just a necessary price." Du Keng didn't explain, and then said: "Sit down and take a look at the situation of Yuanlong Lord and Hanyue Bird."

As he spoke, Du Keng turned on the projection, and the picture showed the perspective of the moon and outer space through some kind of legacy technology of a super ancient civilization.

A huge black shadow in the universe was approaching their planet, and the moon began to slowly unfold its shape, transforming into a strange bird-like appearance, emitting a cold air all over its body.

An aura of deathly silence began to emanate, confronting the original Dragon Lord.

"Such a big change, hasn't the outside world noticed it?" Mao Chuan asked puzzledly.

"The latest technology can change cognition on a global level." Du Keng did not hide anything and said directly: "Except for you and me, everyone's cognition has been overwritten."

"In their eyes, there is no dispute between the original dragon master and the cold moon bird outside the planet."

"Only through this projection can we see the true appearance of the cognition that has been covered."

Du Keng's explanation made Mao Chuan look a little horrified. What kind of technology did the Blue Sky Team inherit from the super ancient civilization?

It is too unbelievable that even cognition can be modified.

"What about the headquarters?" he asked tentatively. Not being able to see and not knowing are two different things.

"I have kept the matter of the original Dragon Lord secret, so they don't know about it." Du Keng said.

This time, Mao Chuan was completely silent. What are you going to do?
He was sure that Du Keng asked him to come tonight not because he had made time to see him, but because he wanted to take advantage of this cognitive coverage to say something to him.

Mao Chuan's eyes fell on the neatly arranged Star Defense Corps stones, which were like a huge missing puzzle that needed more Star Defense Corps stones to fill in.

The huge array seemed like some ancient thing from a horrific wilderness, and it seemed extremely suffocating in his eyes.

"Why?" Mao Chuan asked softly.

At the same time, the original dragon master entered the territory of the Hanyue Bird, and the two behemoths started a very brutal fight in an instant.

Mao Chuan's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"It's just some necessary concealment. The more you know, the more you have to bear."

"At the same time, what we have to face will be more terrifying." Du Keng responded to Mao Chuan.

"I think Commander Du didn't just want me to come here to see what's going on with Yuanlong Lord and Hanyue Bird. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Mao Chuan's attention was drawn back again, and he asked directly.

It's not a good idea to go around in circles at this time, it's better to be straightforward.

"I can't hold on any longer, so I plan to let you take over my position." Du Keng said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, Mao Chuan's expression froze.

"What? This is impossible?" Mao Chuan did not expect to get this answer: "There are many more suitable people than me, such as Commander Du, your brother, he can do it."

"Or Professor Qi, his reputation, prestige and ability are enough to take over, why would it be me?"

Mao Chuan still knows his own situation. He is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

Therefore, there are actually many people who are more suitable than him, but he did not expect that he would be chosen.

"Are you afraid of death?" Du Keng asked.

"Of course I'm not afraid. Could it be that" Mao Chuan frowned, "there's something wrong with them?"

Since they knew that Du Keng was going to die, and they asked him if he was afraid of death, the target was directly pointed at Stone of the Star Defense Corps.

Otherwise he couldn't figure out why it would suddenly deteriorate, especially when there were enough of them.

"Yes, if you are not afraid of death, take my place, and then find a suitable person to continue the cycle."

"Doing so may help humanity gain some extra time."

"As for the disadvantages, let's put it this way. With the current number, all replacements can only live for a month at most."

"The time will be shorter as we go further down." Du Keng said calmly.

At this time, Mao Chuan finally understood why Du Keng did not choose Qi Sui'an and others, because they could not die.

So he is very suitable, because he is not as good as the best but better than the worst.

Without him, there are plenty of people who can replace him, and he happens not to be afraid of death.

"Of course, you can choose to refuse. As long as you leave now, the cognitive overlay will replace your current memory and you won't remember anything."

Du Keng did not force him, but gave him a way out.

"How long can you hold on?" Mao Chuan hesitated and did not agree immediately.

"I've already said it, one month." Du Keng added, "But I don't plan to live that long, another ten days at most."

"It's not that easy to reach the limit. My willpower cannot compare to the evil god of the source of darkness."

“So it needs to be dealt with in advance.”

"But things should be much better after you take over. After all, you need to start the erosion from scratch."

"Without adding enough Star Defense Corps stones, forty-five days is more than enough." Du Keng smiled reluctantly. Obviously, the discomfort in his body was already very obvious.

It's just that he has always relied on his own will to restrain himself, and working alone, so he didn't show any more abnormalities to the outside world.

"How many stones does the Star Defense Corps have?" Mao Chuan asked the key question.

He was sure that Du Keng would rather exchange the pieces to collect them all, as they must be of great use.

As for wanting to know why, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I take over.

So he simply asked the quantity.

"I don't know. You'll understand after you put them all together." Du Keng looked at the Star Defense Corps stones and continued, "But don't worry, they will attract each other."

"From now on, the Blue Sky Team just needs to follow the routine and it won't be difficult to collect all the items."

"And we can also continuously obtain the technology and information of super ancient civilizations from it."

“This is our last chance of survival.”

When he said this, Du Keng paused and added, "It could also be a tombstone."

After all, the super ancient civilizations have all failed, and they are not even considered heirs, so their chances of winning are naturally lower.

"I agree. Then who will take over this position after me?" Mao Chuan asked directly.

Du Keng thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, you choose for yourself, I will be dead by then."

"All I can do is choose a scapegoat."

"Your own scapegoat, choose it yourself."

The words were too blunt, making Mao Chuan look embarrassed.

"Okay, I just hope he doesn't hate me." Many people emerged in Mao Chuan's mind, all of whom were similar to him.

It’s just that who to choose still needs careful consideration.

"But since I'm here to serve as a scapegoat for Commander Du, I must resign as the director of the Super Ancient Civilization Archaeology Department."

"This is a matter during your term of office, so you have to find a reliable department director for Professor Qi." Mao Chuan thought, since he was going to die, he must consider the department issue.

As for family, don't worry, the Blue Sky Team will take care of it.

"Let him do it himself, and assign him a deputy minister to handle miscellaneous matters."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day the director of your Super Ancient Civilization Archaeology Department will be replaced once a month." Du Keng didn't have so many thoughts. Instead of worrying about it, it would be better to hand over the power to the other party once and for all.

"Okay." Mao Chuan agreed, and then asked, "Will there be any impact if this position is handed over so frequently?"

"Yes, but I have done my best to handle it, and the people at headquarters will handle it later."

"Power and management will be separated, and the time will be more compact." Du Keng gave an affirmative answer.

When it was first established, there were a lot of power disputes involved. It would naturally be troublesome to split it up now.

At the same time, the huge body of the Original Dragon Lord was completely swallowed into the stomach of the Hanyue Bird.

The Hanyue Bird slowly turned into the moon again, as if nothing had happened.

The cognitive coverage was also removed.
-
Qi Sui'an watched the battle end. The so-called cognitive coverage was of no use to him.

He saw the entire battle process clearly, and he also knew the communication between Mao Chuan and Du Keng.

"We are about to enter the second iteration so soon."

"Sure enough, the larger the scale of supernatural phenomena, the faster the Dark Evil God will revive."

Supernatural beings such as the Original Dragon Lord and the Cold Moon Bird should not have appeared in this period of time.

The whole process was gradual, but Qi Sui'an disrupted the process, causing everything to change and no longer maintain the original order.

Disasters, darkness, etc. expanded rapidly, and the Dark Evil God was forced to restore himself.

Qi Sui'an doesn't intend to wait patiently for three years. If he can speed up, he will definitely step on the accelerator to the bottom.

"But now, I am increasingly confused about what this evil god, the so-called source of darkness, wants to do."

"Why are you making such a big fuss just for these little things?" Qi Sui'an understood that mankind would not perish, but would just start all over again.

It's like the transition from super ancient civilization to today's new generation civilization.

When this new generation of human civilization perishes, everything on this planet will start anew.

Human beings are still the same human beings, but without everything of the past.

It's like building a whole new civilization on the ruins again, and then embarking on a path of fighting against supernatural beings and dark evil gods, only to end up in failure.

If we talk about gains, there are definitely some. The despair, darkness, etc. in this process will all become nourishment for the dark evil god.

But in Qi Sui'an's opinion, this is a bit like begging with a golden bowl in hand.

It can't be that the Dark Evil God has never read books and can't use them more efficiently, right?
