Eternal Night

Chapter 226: Twenty Years of Fakeness
"...Mr. Wu refused, and I will refuse as well."

Li Xianchun still held the pistol in her hand, but she did not show any impulse and did not shout. She just spoke calmly to Li Mucha in front of her.

Li Mucha is still Li Mucha, but the person speaking... or rather, the thing is not.

It did not move closer. It just walked into the room, closed the door, and leaned against it to say to Li Xianchun, "Ever since I found out that Mr. Wu is a true super soldier, I have actually been paying attention to him. I also know about his decision and your actions. To be honest, I actually agree with both his decision and your actions, but..."

"We really don't have much time left."

Li Xianchun was silent for a while and said, "When you say that time is running out, do you mean the truth that we humans are being kept as pets? Or is it that the next biochemical beast craze is coming?"

"...No, it's about how long we humans can survive."

The visitor shook his head and said, "It's different from what you think. The survival time of mankind may be less than 20 years. This has nothing to do with the biochemical beasts. Even if there is no biochemical beast frenzy and no other biochemical beasts come to attack this human territory, you still have at most 20 years to survive."

Li Xianchun was shocked. This was completely different from what she and others had speculated.

Their speculation is that the truth is likely to involve some kind of mysterious force, such as pre-war organizations of various countries, a mysterious organization that led to the birth of biochemical beasts, or an organization of crazy scientists that created biochemical beasts.

Judging from the deletion of information about the origin of biochemical beasts by the three major guilds, the mastermind has been keeping an eye on them and has banned all research and exploration into the origin of biochemical beasts. Once they learn the truth about the origin of biochemical beasts, the mastermind will most likely control the biochemical beasts to launch a biochemical beast frenzy, eliminate all of them who know the truth, and then continue to feed humans.

That's what they speculate.

The reason why a referendum was launched, and why almost all of these kind-hearted people who are now leading mankind hope to pursue the truth, is to be able to change all the tragic situations before their eyes. In the end, the worst that can happen is that they all die, and humans continue to be kept as livestock. This is already the worst case scenario they can imagine.

But from what this mysterious person said, the situation seemed completely different from what they thought.

The visitor shook his head again and said, "I cannot express this information in words. Once I express it, something will be awakened for a short time, and then you and your sister will immediately turn into the same thing as before. So I'm sorry, I can't tell you the truth here."

Li Xianchun looked extremely serious because the situation was much worse than she had expected.

As she thought about it, she asked, "What you mean by 20 years of survival... is it the more terrifying bio-beast frenzy? Or is it that many of the tens of millions of humans now will die? Which one exactly?"

“…Destroy them all.”

The visitor said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, tens of millions of people, you, me, all of us will perish, human civilization will become a thing of the past, and no species called human will survive. This is what I mean by the 20-year survival limit."

Li Xianchun immediately said, "Impossible. Eighty years have passed, and the bio-beast craze has come more than once. How could it be possible that they would be completely wiped out in twenty years? Or has the mastermind obtained all the experimental data? Or does he no longer need to feed us humans? So he launched the final bio-beast craze?"

The visitor was silent for a moment and said, "...It is very different from what you think, but you can assume this for now."

Li Xianchun stood up from the bed and said, "Let's go find Wu Xianxiao. We must let him know about this!"

The man shook his head and said, "No, there are two reasons. The first reason is that he is very wary of me and he won't believe me. The second reason is that when I am around him, my consciousness will experience huge fluctuations. This may be the ability of the real super soldier to isolate pollution, so I can only come to you."

Li Xianchun thought for a moment and said, "Then why did you say before that we shouldn't seek the truth? Why did you want to stop us from knowing the truth?"

The visitor was silent again, this time for a long time. He said, "Because if there is no real super soldier like Wu Xianxiao, knowing the truth or not is meaningless to you. If you know it, you will die immediately. If you don't know it, you can still have these last twenty years of falsehood. Even if it's just for these twenty years, I hope you will remain ignorant until you die, because... the truth is really too cruel, so cruel that I would rather you know nothing."

Li Xianchun kept thinking about all this. She asked again, "Is it because of Mr. Wu Xianxiao's existence? Does his existence really have such great significance?"

The visitor immediately became excited, and he said firmly: "That's right! With him and without him, there are two completely different results! I have always said before that we were wrong, we are not super soldiers at all, and the real super soldier, the only super soldier is Mr. Wu Xianxiao! He is a pure-blooded human, the only pure-blooded human, and at the same time, pollution has no effect on him! Do you know what this means? This means that he can truly and completely solve the root cause! The root cause of all this misery, all doomsday!"

Li Xianchun didn't understand much of what was said, but she roughly grasped some of the information.

"The only pure-blooded human, then this..."

Li Xianchun trembled slightly when she thought about the meaning of this. The visitor was silent for a while and whispered, "Don't think too much. The more you know, the closer you are to death."

Li Xianchun forced herself to calm down. She took several deep breaths before saying, "But Mr. Wu Xianxiao also made it clear that he refused because he thought the people's referendum didn't count and he wasn't strong enough. If he is the only savior, then when he refuses, there is nothing we can do."

The visitor nodded and said, "Indeed, this is why I appeared in front of you. The people's problem is...if they can survive without knowing the truth, even if they are kept alive, I agree with Mr. Wu Xianxiao, because their ignorance can give them life, but the reality is that they only have twenty years, or even less than these twenty years. Moreover, the longer they delay, even if Mr. Wu Xianxiao is willing to explore the truth, it will still lead to the extinction of all mankind. It has nothing to do with whether they are willing or not. Ten or twenty years of suspended death sentence, and gathering the last strength to fight for one more round, I think you should understand the dividing line here, right?"

Of course Li Xianchun could understand.

This is also the reason why after Wu Xianxiao chose to refuse, she and the righteous people who now control the human order did not choose to continue to force.

Because they themselves are also very contradictory. On the one hand, seeking the truth may very likely lead to doomsday, but on the other hand, people can survive without knowing the truth.

Since Wu Xianxiao chose to refuse, they would not continue to force him. Although they felt regretful, this was also a choice.

But if this false peace and survival lasts only twenty years, or even less than twenty years, the situation will be completely different. On the one hand, it is a fight to the death, and on the other hand, it is hopelessly being boiled like a frog in warm water. Except for a few recluses and cowards, everyone knows what to choose.

The visitor continued, "As for strength... Indeed, Mr. Wu Xianxiao's strength is insufficient. Although he is already very powerful, even the Overlord-level biochemical beasts cannot hurt him. However, if he wants to face the root cause of all these changes, his strength is indeed insufficient. But who else can do it besides himself?"

Li Xianchun was stunned. She asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean except himself? Although we will definitely fight alongside him, we humans no longer have any super machines, and there are no living super soldiers, except for those made into super soldiers by the three major guilds..."

The visitor shook his head and said, "That's not a super soldier weapon, that's a failed super soldier experiment... Let's put it this way, Mr. Wu Xianxiao is a real super soldier, so he is a pure-blooded human, and I am one of the founders of Wei Lan, and the first generation of super soldier you heard about before. I can be considered a successful experiment, but I'm still not a real super soldier. I now understand that the meaning of our existence is to allow real super soldiers to have the power to fight against the root cause. We are the weapons and weapons of super soldiers!"

Li Xianchun still didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

The visitor was silent for a moment and said, "You don't need to understand. You just need to know that when the truth is revealed, I can become Mr. Wu Xianxiao's weapon and armament. Even though he restrains and refuses pollution, I will die quickly, but before that, I can let Mr. Wu Xianxiao have the power to fight against the root cause. You just need to know this!"

"What will happen to you? What will happen to the world?"

At this moment, a steady voice came from behind the door.

The visitor and Li Xianchun were both stunned; they didn't hear any footsteps at all.

The visitor immediately opened the door and saw Wu Xianxiao standing in the corridor outside.

The visitor seemed to be affected by something, and his voice began to become noisy: "Mr. Wu... It doesn't matter what happens to me, because every day I live now is a huge torture for me, and my companions have been waiting for me all the time. They are laughing at my living alone, so any ending is a great mercy to me."

"As for this world... Mr. Wu, when you know the truth, you will know that I did not lie. After twenty years, what awaits them will be a situation more terrible than death. Without you, these last twenty years of falsehood would be the best ending I could find for them. But with you, they still have one last hope, but they have to be quick. There is not much time left now. The critical point has actually been reached a long time ago, but there is still one last hope. With every day of delay, this last hope will become a little less..."

"...I'm in Hawaii...After the truth is revealed, there will be a very short gap. Before that, please come and find me..."

"...I will become your sword and armor..."

"...I want to see this blue world reappear..."

"...My friends, are you laughing at my loneliness..."

As she was talking, Li Mucha's eyes turned white and she fell to the ground. Li Xianchun immediately rushed over and hugged his sister, carefully checking her condition.

Wu Xianxiao stood there silently, then turned and left after a few seconds.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the Human Hunter Territory. When I come back, we'll go..."

"Explore the truth!"
