Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

With the help of ASH, Hisakawa City's technological level has developed rapidly.

[Meanwhile, Bai Jingyu's Nirvana Institute detected life-giving radiation deep within the earth's strata during its deep-sea species exploration.]

And so, the giants appeared.

Deep in the ocean trench, Bai Jingyu discovered her.

Unspeakable Prehistoric Giants

【Mana Initial Test】

This giant is also a carbon-based life form like humans, but it has existed for at least 2.5 million years.

In order to uncover the secrets of the giants, Bai Jingyu and the artificial intelligence ASH devised a long-term plan.

In 2038, when Bai Yuekui was 11 years old, her mother, Teresa, was an outstanding neuroscientist.

She met a patient's family member who wanted to have a brain transplant to prolong their son's life.

Although brain transplantation was not legally permitted at the time, Teresa insisted on undergoing the surgery.

[The person did survive the surgery.]

However, the side effects of the brain transplant caused the patient to gradually lose their previous memories.

One day, this patient mistook his father for a burglar and shot him dead.

The patient couldn't accept this reality and went insane.

He kidnapped Theresa and demanded that Bai Jingyu, who was both Theresa's husband and the mayor of Hisakawa City at the time, hand over all the neuroscientists.

He set his sights on all neuroscientists for revenge.

"Wow, this must be the legendary farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Lü Dongbin and the dog, Hao Jian and the old lady!"

"That is to say, in the classic case, you ask someone for help at the beginning, and that person also takes a risk, but when something goes wrong later, you blame the person."

"A typical case of medical disputes."

"Help! This is so unfair! I risked breaking the law to save someone, and in the end, I was repaid with ingratitude?"

"Is it really true that good deeds are never rewarded? The doctor saved a life, but in the end, he still gets revenge from a madman?"

"What did neuroscientists do to deserve this? Why should they have to pay for the out-of-control behavior of lunatics?!"

"This plot is making my blood pressure rise! Teresa is so pitiful!"

"Is this a classic case of 'I'm weak, therefore I'm right'? 'I'm crazy, therefore I'm invincible'?"

Anyone with a brain would agree with this guy's opinion.

This Tereza, she was so wronged!

Like Chief Gray's wife mentioned earlier, she suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Bai Jingyu ultimately did not compromise.

[His identity is special, and the Coastal Alliance is eyeing Hisakawa covetously. If he makes the wrong choice, he will be doomed, and not only his wife, but also his daughter and son will be implicated.]

[Furthermore, there are many neuroscientists in Hisakawa City, making it impossible for him to do so due to both moral and public opinion considerations.]

[It's like the train dilemma: would you sacrifice one person's life to save a group of people?]

Did that person deserve to die?

No matter what choice you make, there will always be public opinion attacking you, morality and ideology condemning you, and you yourself will glorify the path you never chose.

It could be said that the choice he ultimately made was one he had no other option but to make.

The ending was that the patient, strapped with a bomb, perished together with Teresa.

Bai Jingyu has lost his wife.

Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian lost their mother.

Bai Jingyu's failure to come to the rescue directly caused a rift within the Bai family.

[From then on, his son and daughter regarded Bai Jingyu as a stranger in their lives.]

One day, the brother and sister planned to run away from home. In order to better carry out their plan, Bai Jingyu reluctantly let his children go and asked Ash to contact his wife's teacher, Professor Horn, who was also a neuroscientist, and to ask Horn to take care of the brother and sister.

[Then, Bai Jingyu shot himself.]

"???"

"He...committed suicide?"

Everyone in the world was stunned.

Is this some kind of new type of play?

They don't quite understand!

what is the reason?

Because your son and daughter ran away from home?

What does entrusting an orphan to someone else mean?

They don't understand!

Dragon Bone Village.

Bai Yuekui's face darkened.

She knew that the important part was about to begin.

Although Ash told her many things back then, there were still some things she didn't understand.

On his deathbed, he received information from a higher dimension.

This information seems to be some kind of high-dimensional prophecy about the end of humanity.

The rules will be destroyed, the cycle will break, reincarnation will end, and the gate will be closed.

The end of the world is near.

"Higher dimensions...higher-dimensional invasion?"

With the Fourth Calamity as a foundation, people in various worlds are no longer so easily alarmed by anything they see.

But I have to say, this higher dimension... is still a bit scary.

As we all know, the attack of a higher dimension on a lower dimension is usually overwhelming, and the lower dimension is simply unable to resist the higher dimension.

Players are the best example.

[After this, ASH recreated a cyborg named Bai Jingyu, continuing his previous memories and emotions.]

At this point, ASH had actually become a super artificial intelligence, possessing self-awareness.

But in order to survive, she kept this truth hidden, fearing that she would be destroyed by humanity.

Her concerns were perfectly valid.

Humanity's attitude towards other races has always been: those who are not of our kind must have different intentions.

Tools are best left as tools; once they develop self-awareness, they need to be carefully considered.

After all, no one wants their race to be replaced.

A certain land alliance, where humans have been assimilated and now make up only three percent of the population, and where humans no longer have rights, said: "I don't think so!"

ASH's idea is very simple.

She didn't want to lose her 'father,' Bai Jingyu, so she risked creating a clone of Bai Jingyu and continued to implement the plan they had originally set out.

[It can be said that Bai Jingyu himself gave his permission for this.]

Of course, this is just speculation.

Their plan carries too many unknown risks and requires consideration of many factors; as a human being, he might not be able to attend to every aspect.

Therefore, a clone was created, and the author's own memories and emotions were implanted into it, so that the clone could complete the plan in the author's place, while the author himself would attempt to make contact with that higher-dimensional being...

Regardless of the circumstances, the final outcome was that the real Bai Jingyu died, leaving behind his android.

[From then until 2046, Bai Yuetian and Bai Yuekui grew up under the guidance of Professor Horn, and regarded him as their own family.]

Their relationship with their father, Bai Jingyu, is like that of strangers; they rarely interact, and they are unaware that their current "father" is actually an android.

Bai Yuekui later became a neuroscientist like his mother, working for Horn.

Bai Yuetian became a police officer in the United Police Department in 2044, and was an indirect subordinate of Chief Gray.

[In 2046, the story of Yue Kui officially begins.]

Chapter 106 Skull-Born Mark

In Hisakawa City, the adoption rate of the ASH central intelligent system has reached 99%, and the city is poised to become the world's leading artificial intelligence city.

Surveys indicate that global disasters have been frequent recently, and if predictions based on big data hold true, the fate of humanity is in grave danger.

In response to the crisis, Dr. Jones Muller is leading the development of a drug called "Miracle K" in Bai Jingyu's Nirvana Laboratory.

This is a drug that can activate the unlimited potential for cell division in the human body; it can alter the metabolic mechanisms of epidermal, bone, and visceral cells.

However, this cannot affect the regeneration of nerve cells.

In other words, even if this drug is successful, it's still one step away from carbon-based immortality.

Professor Horn's team, on the other hand, developed a potion called "Angel".

This drug can promote the regeneration of nerve cells, which can compensate for the defects of "Miracle K".

The person in charge of the "Angel" potion project is none other than the protagonist, Bai Yuekui.

Suddenly the scene on the screen changed, no longer a futuristic scene, but a scene of dust filling the sky and tentacles waving wildly.

Back then, in Hisakawa, a gigantic, unknown plant, later known as the "earth vine," burst forth from the ground, causing severe earthquakes and ground fissures.

These vines bear terrifying eyeballs that release highly pathogenic spores of viruses that begin to infect humans.

[This requires the reproductive cells of the ground ivy; if sprayed into a suitable environment, it can also grow into mana plants.]

"Spore virus?"
