Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

This approach is indeed remarkably efficient.

He eventually had over a hundred children, who, along with Liu Bei's ancestor, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, were considered two of the most important and capable generals.

These awakened individuals, as possessors of extraordinary power, are certainly not inferior to ordinary people.

As a result, these awakened individuals all had a large number of descendants.

But then another problem arose!

As these children grow up, most of them do not reach the level of their parents, and many of them experience a deepening of their abnormalities, with the problems that are common to abnormal individuals beginning to appear in them.

Many even reverted to mutated monsters.

However, despite this problem, there is also good news: among the many children, there are some who are exceptionally talented and can perfectly inherit the bloodline of the Source God and become new Awakeners!

More importantly, this is not an isolated case, but a widespread phenomenon!

This also relieved the various factions.

Although it did not achieve the expected result of generating a large number of awakened individuals to increase strength, it also regenerated many aberrant individuals.

However, the bloodline of the Awakened has been passed down after all, which is not bad. In fact, the increase in the number of ordinary mutants has greatly restored the strength of various families or organizations.

However, after several decades, this situation changed again.

That is, no matter how hard these awakened ones work, the number of their offspring is gradually decreasing, and the bloodline of the source gods in their offspring seems to be gradually fading.

The number of awakened individuals who can perfectly control the mutation is decreasing, and in some generations there may not be a single awakened individual. Even the number of mutated individuals who can control the mutation without losing their sanity is decreasing!

These Source God families were only now beginning to truly feel the crisis.

Chapter 138 Aftermath

According to the inscription, this ancestor, who participated in the battle to destroy the Seed of the Source God more than 300 years ago, lived for more than 200 years.

Therefore, his records abruptly ceased 153 years ago.

Although what happened afterward is no longer recorded, given the current state of the world, it's not hard to guess what happened next.

In the face of the torrent of time, the bloodlines of these Origin God families were ultimately powerless to resist. As time went by, the bloodlines of the Origin Gods became thinner and thinner, even to the point of being on the verge of complete disappearance.

The Genda family itself is a microcosm of this process.

In the original owner's memories, neither her father nor her grandfather had anything special about them; they were no different from ordinary people.

It is worth mentioning that the inscription also mentions that after the family bloodline gradually became thinner and many methods were tried without success, they thought of something.

Since the mutation was caused by the Seed of the Source God, could we use the Seed of the Source God to induce the mutation again? So we tried, but the results were disappointing.

After being sealed for a long time, the Seed of the Source God seemed to have entered a dormant state. No matter how it was stimulated, it could not induce the mutation again, and in the end, it could only be left unresolved.

But judging from the situation just now, that black tentacle monster seems to have come back to life. Did it just awaken recently, or did something else happen?

After careful consideration, the most likely explanation is that this so-called Seed of the Source God has only recently been reawakened.

"It seems that some kind of change has occurred, causing these sleeping monsters to awaken again. However, judging from the mutants we've killed before, the mutation pathway has never truly disappeared; it has always existed."

This world has always been like this: anything that has ever existed and has value will be preserved by all means.

Just like in modern times, with the advent of modern lighting systems, candles should have been completely eliminated, but in reality, the production of candles in modern society far exceeds that of ancient times.

The same goes for armor; in modern times it can only be considered a work of art, but its production volume was far greater than in ancient times.

Not to mention the mutation pathway, one can imagine that mutants possess exceptionally powerful combat capabilities that ordinary humans absolutely cannot contend with. They would inevitably attract the attention of all forces, who would certainly use every means to ensure that this power is preserved.

Moreover, now that the Source God Seed possessed by the Genda family has been revived, have the other existing Source God Seeds also been revived?

Think carefully!

If the world today were to produce a large number of mutants and mutant monsters, just as it did in ancient times, it would be a catastrophe for the entire world.

From the moment I started reading the stone tablet to the moment I finished reading all the contents, it didn't take much time at all, only about ten minutes.

However, it felt extremely long to him, as if many days had passed.

Knowing these secrets was a good thing for him; at least many things that were previously unclear now had some clarity.

The reason why the Genji Group was destroyed must be because of its identity as a descendant of the Awakened.

The mutants are powerful, and if they want to preserve or study this power, they need more samples to study it.

The Genda family, once a renowned family of Genda gods, and now free of any mutants, naturally became the best target.

This is just like the Fuwei Escort Agency in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. It has only a name and a legendary sword technique that may exist. Coupled with its own weakness, it is like a three-year-old child carrying a gold ingot and walking in a bustling market. Of course, it will attract a lot of covetous hearts.

Unexpectedly, this original owner of the body suffered the same fate as Xiao Linzi.

Suddenly I felt a chill in my crotch. Oh my god, that's terrifying!

There was also good news: the move of transforming himself into Sesshomaru turned out to be a stroke of genius.

The reason why those guys stopped monitoring him was now truly clear.

With the potential emergence of awakened beings, a descendant of a fallen Source God family naturally becomes less valuable, and continuing to dwell on it will only cause more trouble.

It would be better to focus all our energy on the newly emerging 'Awakeners'.

However, this has created a new problem: previously, Ashida Kensaku took away the corpse of the mutant and also revealed his strength to the mutant.

He is a high-ranking officer in the police force and knows about the mutants. He is very likely, no, he definitely knows that the Genda family was once the Genshin family!

In that case, the police or high-ranking government officials might think that they have obtained mutated powers, which would be a problem.

It seems necessary to meet with Kensaku Ashida after leaving this place.

However, all of that can be done later. What we need to do now is deal with Shinichi Kudo first.

Don't misunderstand, it's not about getting rid of him. Although he learned 'Water Breathing', he's still my classmate. Even though he's not a close friend, sibling, or relative, I can't just kill him because he came into contact with a little secret. That would be too cruel.

So we still need to use some tricks.

"Tomoko, is there any way to make this guy forget what he just experienced? After all, he's incredibly curious. If he senses something's wrong, he might keep investigating, which would be bad."

Tomoko originally wanted to suggest that they just kill it and then pin the blame on the monster.

As a weapon that once restrained all of humanity, after deciphering the contents of the stone tablet, she knew clearly that the fact that the Genda family possessed the Seed of the Source God must not be revealed in the slightest.

Otherwise, the host's fate will surely be to be utterly destroyed!

Killing someone to cover it up becomes the cheapest method.

In the world of The Three-Body Problem, there is no such thing as cruelty or not cruelty; everything is simply for the sake of better survival. Once survival is threatened, then any rule will become garbage in the garbage dump.

Murder is simply the simplest of many things that can be discarded.

However, it suddenly occurred to me that this guy possesses a large amount of spacetime energy, which means that his fate can have a significant impact on this world.

If we kill him, we won't be able to exploit him anymore, which is not a good thing.

"I have a method. You place your two index fingers on the other person's temples, and then I will use an electric current to stimulate their brain. This will confuse their recent memories and guide these confused memories to create a plausible reason for their coma. However, there will be side effects."

"What are the side effects?"

"He will suffer from insomnia for a period of time, and he will also frequently experience headaches and neurasthenia. Furthermore, his sense of taste and smell will be affected due to brain stimulation."

"Huh? Is that so? A detective with insomnia and vivid dreams, not bad at all. Right, let's manipulate his memory a bit, make him believe that he fainted because he was startled by a stray cat that jumped out during the investigation. That's a reasonable excuse, isn't it?"

On the highway, the car rolled over a speed bump, causing the vehicle to lurch slightly. Shinichi Kudo slowly woke up from the car.

"Great, Shinichi, you're finally awake!"

Chapter 139 Exchange with Kensaku Ashida

"What's wrong with me?"

Shinichi Kudo felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his head, more painful than being hit with a baseball bat.

Wait, why did I say "also"? I don't think I've ever been hit by a baseball bat, have I?

How strange, does this mean I'll get hit by a baseball someday?

However, the intense discomfort that followed made him instantly forget about the problem.

"My brain feels so uncomfortable, like it's being pricked with needles - it's so painful."

He clutched his head, a look of pain on his face.

"Shinichi, what's wrong?" Ran asked anxiously, seeing his expression.

Gendagawa, who was driving, looked at Shinichi Kudo, who was holding his head in his hands, and his lips twitched inexplicably.

I really didn't want to hurt him, but this guy was just so unlucky. This was the gentlest method I could use to keep the secret.

After all, Zhizi now only has the system part left, which is equivalent to only having software left, and it's an incomplete version. She doesn't know any other means to erase memories, so the only thing she can do is cut off the other person's head.

"Mouri-kun, it's all my fault for not thinking things through. I didn't expect there to be such a big black cat in the castle. It pounced on Kudo's face and hurt him."

"A black cat? Yes, a huge black cat suddenly pounced, and its eyes were blood red. It was really scary!"

Shinichi Kudo muttered to himself, his expression still one of pain.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Sonoko said curiously, "It's unbelievable. Kudo is a detective; he's seen countless corpses. Even when he faced those two monsters, he wasn't this weak."

Although Shinichi Kudo still had a terrible headache, he couldn't help but blush.
