Chapter 129 Ultimate Paradise (3)

"By that time, human beings will no longer be delighted by the individual's gain, because there is no perceptual difference between one's own gain and that of others."

"There is no grief because of the loss of personal interests, or even fear of death, because there is no sensory difference between one's own survival and the survival of others."

The universe was still flowing outside the wide porthole. On the bridge of the starship, Bishop Lauren smiled at Jiang Jianming.

"Only peace," he said intoxicatedly. "It will be an eternal paradise."

Jiang Jianming suddenly lowered his head and sneered, shaking his head.

"No more joy or sadness, no more will of each?"

His eyes sharpened, "Your Excellency Lauren, was the one you 'redeemed' at that time still a real fellow human being?"

"You want to ask a real human?"

Lauren raised her eyebrows and patted Jiang Jianming's shoulder, "His Royal Highness Crown Princess, Colonel Jiang, I have to tell you with regret."

"Humans - real humans, have long since become extinct."

"As early as five hundred years ago, when the first black wave radiation broke out, everything was doomed."

Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank slightly, but before he could react, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"confusion."

In the empty and wide bridge, this sound suddenly sounded, and the effect was similar to that of a ghost. Jiang Jianming turned his head sharply, almost subconsciously touching the gun, but when he moved his fingers, he remembered that he didn't bring any weapons.

But he also saw the owner of the voice—

A handsome man stood there. He couldn't tell his age just by looking at it. He was wearing a long white shirt and stepped on the ground barefoot. He couldn't see any other accessories... He seemed to have come out of an ancient mural , In this era, there will never be normal people wearing clothes like this.

And he has an indescribable contradictory temperament. At first glance, this person seems to be the incarnation of the word gentleness in the world, and every inch of his facial features is written with peace and tolerance.

But after looking at it for a long time, it's a little hairy, it is a kind of indifferent peace, no emotion, there is no emotion in the eyes, even if the man is smiling at the moment.

Lauren leaned over: "His Excellency the Archbishop."

Jiang Jianming's back suddenly became cold.

He thought to himself: Where did this man come from?

He entered the enemy ship by himself, no matter how calm it was on the surface, in fact, all five senses were tense. But the man in white in front of him seemed to appear here out of thin air, and he actually didn't feel any footsteps or breath...!

The inhuman feeling on the other side is too strong. If Jiang Jianming had heard Lauren say that "the Archbishop was inspired by the crystal particles" before, he was still in a state of doubtful belief, at this moment he was already eight percent sure.

At least, this man in white is definitely not a human being in the normal sense.

"Chaos, you've worked hard these days."

The man in white came over. He first brushed Lauren's forehead with his fingertips, then turned to Jiang Jianming, "As for you, Colonel Jiang... I think I should come and see you in person."

With a gentle expression, he tapped his finger on his chest: "I am the Archbishop of the Crystal Sect, Gaius. There is no distinction between first and last name, just Gaius."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and said in a formal manner, "Imperial military, Jiang Jianming."

After he finished speaking, he calmly stopped moving, and Archbishop Gaius came to him with a smile and stretched out his hands around his neck.

Undoubtedly, this was an action that could chomp on the gate of life. Jiang Jianming just stood there without any change in his expression, until Gaius's hands touched the back of his neck, and then withdrew... A miniature was sandwiched between his fingers. listener.

Lauren's face sank next to him. He guessed that Jiang Jianming would bring a monitor, but he didn't expect this person to bring two pairs...!

And this thing, don't know what new technology was used, and the various scanning levels inside their starship were not detected.

But then, the monitor didn't know what signal it got. After flashing twice, it suddenly exploded in a small way, and it broke down with black smoke.

"..."

Gaius glanced at the monitor in his palm, and then went to Jiang Jianming, his face was not angry: "The monitor self-destructs...Is this a strategy you came up with? If so, you are indeed a wise man."

Jiang Jianming looked calm and remained silent.

Before he left, he set up a small program on the listener. Once the listener was discovered, the startup program there would immediately self-destruct.

The reason is simple.

If you don't communicate, you won't be threatened.

Under what circumstances would the kidnappers mutilate the hostages? When conditions are made to relatives of hostages and conditions are rejected.

However, if the kidnappers are unable to contact the hostages' families at all, or even have the opportunity to put forward conditions, then mutilating the hostages becomes a meaningless act, and the threat itself does not exist.

——Of course, the above is the wording when he tried to persuade His Royal Highness Ryan.

What Jiang Jianming really thinks is, even if you really torture me for fun, as long as the Empire can't see it and the little prince can't see it, then it won't be a big problem.

The discarded monitor was thrown into the trash can by Gaius.

The white-shirted archbishop turned his head: "I heard you just talking about the extinction of the old humans."

"There is an old saying, 'If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening'. Colonel Jiang should be someone who is willing to pursue wisdom and truth."

Gaius smiled and said, "About the crystal particles, and the ultimate chaos we hope for, tell him more about it."

Lauren looked up when he heard the words, his expression was a little surprised, but he was still respectful: "Yes, Your Excellency Archbishop."

Under the gaze of Gaius, Lauren brought Jiang Jianming to the large computer next to him, called up the virtual screen, and opened windows filled with research data.

Most of the time records are eighty or ninety years ago, in the period of the old empire, and the content is all about the research and discussion of crystal particles.

Jiang Jianming looked down one by one.

Lauren spoke slowly beside him.

The content is history, from the very beginning of everything.

The time goes back to the end of the old blue mother star era, 2121 AD.

Black wave radiation erupted from somewhere in the distant universe, bringing a substance that humans had never touched before, and they came to be called crystal particles.

Nearly 500 years of history since then, the human scientific community has recognized that the species that perfectly fuse with the crystal particles are the new crystal seeds that have successfully evolved; the species that fail to integrate perfectly are the residual crystal seeds with incomplete genes.

"But it's actually wrong."

Lauren turned his eyes to the universe beyond the starship, and he said gently: "Crystal particles are a life form that is far beyond our knowledge."

"First of all, we all know that the instinct of life is to reproduce, but the crystal particles themselves do not have the ability to reproduce."

"Its reproduction is entirely dependent on implantation, or parasitic on other life forms. The wording is not important. You can understand the meaning."

"The crystal particles gather in the crystal nest, and as the black wave radiation of the explosion spreads, they search for a host in the vast universe."

"Once it is successfully implanted, it will induce changes in the genes of the living body. The so-called new crystal species is the species that has been completely implanted; the so-called residual crystal species is the one that has not been fully implanted, but is already in a semi-implanted state. Species. The implanted host race will complete the reproduction of the crystal particles. . . "

"...Wait." Jiang Jianming suddenly closed his eyes and pressed his forehead, his temples jumped, "The host has completed the reproduction of the crystal particles?"

Lauren: "Yes, when we humans give birth to offspring, the part of the crystal particles contained in the newborn baby's body is the offspring that the crystal particles use to reproduce for themselves."

"This parasitic state will continue for a period until the crystal particles that have completed a new round of group expansion are summoned by the crystal nest to return to their hometown, gather stronger forces, and then erupt a new wave of black wave radiation."

"—And crystal chaos is the process of parasitic crystal particles in the human body, actively peeling off the host's flesh, and returning to the crystal nest. Of course, the host can't bear this peeling, and the death of the flesh is inevitable. ."

Lauren stretched out his hands suddenly, and the light above his head illuminated the broken crystals condensed on his wrists: "At the end, the moment when all the crystal particles complete their return, it is also the time when the physical bodies of all human beings die, we call it the moment. ……ultimate."

Jiang Jianming's face was pale, his heart was beating violently, and waves of chills ran all over his body.

With a flick of your finger, the windows under your palm slide in sequence.

——The black wave radiation came, and the crystal particles shrouded the blue mother star for thirty-three years. It was called "Thirty-three Nights" in history, and 90% of the original old humans died.

In the face of the large-scale attack of crystal particles, the human beings have been defeated and collapsed.

——The era of natural selection, the era of great differentiation is coming. The old humans were completely wiped out, and only the new humans and the disabled humans remained, struggling to survive on this ravaged planet.

——After the base melee, the old empire was established. The crystal turmoil begins to erupt, and scientists are discovering this desperate reality for the first time.

The great tyrant Odin established a research base and tried to strip crystal particles from the human body, but all the experiments ended in failure.

"So," Jiang Jianming's throat moved, and he said hoarsely, "Is this a war of racial aggression in the universe?"

Archbishop Gaius looked at him with a peaceful expression: "Yes."

"..." Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and let his palm slide off the screen.

At this moment, it was as if every cell in his body had grown eyeballs, staring at him quietly, or whispering to each other and sneering.

The crystal particles are there, lodged in every part of his bones, blood, five senses and organs. Today's human society is inseparable from crystal particles. They have been with him since he was born as an embryo, and will inevitably be with him until death.

Thoughts seemed to have become a piece of glass and suddenly shattered. Among the countless fragments, three years ago, the immature Crown Prince Le'an was looking at him with painful eyes, and there was a quicksand-like time and space between the two.

The young prince opened his lips and said in a sweet voice:

"Ginger, I love you."

"But there are more important things here than loving you."

Then he turned around, the platinum shiny curls were ruffled by the wind, and the overwhelming starlight blocked the departing back.

After the starlight dissipated, what was left was a large swath of blood in the crown of L-Jin Xiaozhi.

Jiang Jianming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were terrifyingly black.

"What is the appeal of your crystal religion?"

Gaius smiled, but there was no emotion in his eyes: "Completely eradicate the inferior race of mankind, eliminate all pain and sorrow, and personally welcome... the ultimate arrival."

The Imperial Space Station Golden Sun Starship Fleet, the flagship Athena.

When Ryan stepped off the mecha, his face was so ugly that the soldiers who came to greet him froze and didn't dare to move.

Jiang Jianming's monitor was discovered, and the Archbishop of the Crystal Sect was beside him...

The truth about the crystal particles, and 110,000 sentences can't compare to the anxiety that this fact brings to the crown prince.

Looking back now, Ryan feels absurd again: Did he let Jiang Jianming go deep into the enemy starship alone before he was crazy?

Although Jiang Jianming had a confident attitude and told him that it would be all right, what if something went wrong... What if! ?

Ryan quickened his pace. He gritted his teeth sullenly, raised his hand and poked the wrist machine, and called the intellectual brain with a complicated expression: "Dog."

The wrist phone was left by Jiang Jianming, and Seth Henry made a "wang".

"What kind of cards does your master have?"

"You don't know? Didn't you follow him all the time?"

"...It's useless." Ryan was stunned, suppressing Zhinao's voice.

Jiang Jianming was not around, but he was reduced to talking to a dog... It's not a real dog, it's a fake dog.

This is definitely the last indulgence, His Highness thought to himself. As long as Jiang Jianming can come back alive this time, he really wants to consider locking people in boxes.

Then, what he has to do next is...

win this one.

Coming to the command room of the starship, several senior generals of Jin Ilun headed by Celine were already waiting. Of course, more than 90% of them are in the form of projection.

The automatic door opened, the crown prince's face was sinking like water, and he walked all the way to the ring-shaped virtual screen. As usual, he quickly scanned the star map and laid out the formation of the enemy and the enemy.

"His Royal Highness, the longer the enemy stays in the empire, the higher the dimensional blockade cannot be closed, and the greater the probability of being invaded by alien creatures."

Celine took two steps forward, bowed her head and said, "We must fight quickly and expel the thieves as soon as possible."

Several generals also agreed, with worried and anxious expressions on their faces.

Ryan gave a "um" and motioned for Celine to continue.

"Press the officer's thoughts."

Celine increased her tone and said, "Now that the high-dimensional blockade is invalid, the enemy can jump, but think about it, we can too."

"Please order the military headquarters, and the three fortresses of Yin Beidou will immediately rush to the Imperial Space Station. Yin Beidou has been fighting alien creatures all the year round, and its combat experience is incomparable with that of Jin Ilun. Together with their strength, they will definitely be able to reach the fastest time. Drive out the enemy from within!"

"..."

Ryan stared at the fleet distribution on the star map, and said without looking back: "Admiral Celine, do you think you are very smart?"

Celine's face changed.

The crown prince patted the console lightly: "The Lava pirates are still staring at the distant stars, and a large number of Yin Beidou forces have jumped back to the empire. Will they watch it?"

"Three military fortresses, no more? From the front line of the fortress to the territory of the empire, no more?"
