Pepe felt dizzy when she heard this, and felt that her eyes were red and then black. She instinctively felt that what her father said was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong—she was still a kind and simple girl after all, I always think that relying on "kindness" and "simplicity" can solve all the problems in the universe.
"Nonsense, nonsense!"
She was trembling all over, and there were bursts of soreness in the depths of her nasal cavity. She kept telling herself in her heart that she must not cry. You can't cry to protect Shannuya, "These are my father's guesses, it's because you adults are too careful, I won't let Shannuya become a monster, I promise!"
"Guarantee? What do you use to guarantee?"
Dad's voice became colder and colder, "Compared to us humans, it is a monster, a... demon, all we can do is to delay the time for it to reveal its true nature as much as possible, but in the end, no matter how much you pay Work hard, and how reluctantly, this day will eventually come.
"Don't rush to refute, think it through before you speak, look at these materials—these top-secret materials are the disasters caused by the past Void Hunters, keep your eyes open, and face the reality, my daughter!"
Dad Void clicked on the light curtain and showed Pepe the comprehensive images and data of dozens of disasters.
Pepe couldn't use words to describe what he saw, nor could he use pen and ink to describe his mood at the moment.
Some images show fragments of Void Hunter tentacles mixed with the shattered wreckage of a starship into a graveyard drifting eternally in a sea of stars.
In some images, the furious Void Hunter is really like what my father said, a demon that descended from the four-dimensional space that humans cannot understand, waving tentacles that are tens of thousands of kilometers long, smashing ripples of destruction in the three-dimensional universe.
In some images, there are a series of cold numbers and rows of pale names. Those names are like the river Styx turned into a waterfall, flowing silently, as if it will flow forever.
"From the moment we human beings first encountered the Void Hunter, this kind of behemoth beyond our cognition has always existed in the form of 'god and devil'. Yes, it can protect us from 90% of the threats in the universe. , Expanding our cruising range by thousands of times, but at the same time, it has also become our most terrifying memory, and it will bring disasters that hundreds of millions of people will die at any time."
Dad said, "Yes, dear girl, you must tell me-those void hunters are unintentional, they don't understand our life form's concept of 'life and death', they don't know how much they have caused us They don't know what kind of terrible catastrophe they can bring about with their slight twitches and tremors!
"However, if you think about it carefully, isn't this the scariest point
"The 'unintentional' actions of the Void Hunter can cause the death of hundreds of millions of human beings. If one day, it suddenly awakens some kind of self that we cannot understand, it suddenly decides to do something 'consciously', it suddenly decides to become The real 'Shannuya', at that time, what should we do? What should we do!"
Pepe didn't know.
She suddenly felt that the way her father stretched his teeth and claws was very similar to those crazy void hunters in the light curtain.
She is scared.
But he didn't know that he was more afraid of the father in front of him, or those out-of-control void hunters.
"You're kind, Pepe, and that's not a bad thing—'kindness' has become a very rare quality in today's dark universe, like the brightest gem, and I hope you'll always be kind go down."
Dad saw the fear on Pepe's face, his expression became a little tangled and sad, and he smiled wryly, "But I still hope you can understand that what we are discussing now has nothing to do with 'kindness', a man with a gun and A person without a gun can never be a friend. No matter how kind the person with a gun is, no matter how much he promises that he will never use his gun, it will not help, especially when there is only one steamed bun in front of the two of them.
"Their friendship is going to last unless both of them have guns, or both of them don't have guns, you know what I mean?"
"Do not."
Peipei shook her head, "Father and elder brother both like to wield knives and guns, but I just don't understand—what do we need guns for? Looking across the stars, we can't find many alien races, so we need guns to fight them."
"Silly boy, things like guns were not originally invented to kill aliens."
Dad smiled and said, "Forget it, if you can't figure out these complicated and difficult things, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, we don't really want to kill Shannuya, but to help it regenerate—you should know best, The Void Hunter's life form is very strange. From a certain point of view, it is 'immortal'. Even if we help it 'explode' with artificial intervention, several of its tentacles will still survive and become new ones. A generation of Shannuya.
"At that time, maybe you can become the dreamer of the new Shannuya and tell all the stories to it."
Pepe frowned and thought for a long time.
Then, the girl shook her head slightly.
"Do not."
She said seriously, "The tentacles after the 'explosion' will lose their past memories and consciousness, and become a muddled embryo. Even if they can grow up again one day, they will not be the current Shannuya."
"It's all Shannuya."
Dad said, "What's the difference?"
"some."
Pepe said, "None of the other Shannuya are 'my Shannuya', even though there are many void hunters named Shannuya, but only one of them is 'Prince Shannuya'."
"It seems that you and your 'Prince Shannuya' really have a deep relationship."
Dad squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "Or, our 'Prince Shannuya' has secretly developed an incredible neural network, controlled extremely powerful spiritual power, and can even interfere with a human's will! "
"Do not!"
Pepe said anxiously, "Everything I say is from my heart, what I think, and has nothing to do with Shannuya!"
"We'll figure it out, now, go down and rest."
Dad pondered, "Wait, I've changed my mind, Pepe, you should go to the hospital to rest for two days, let other dreamers take care of the next thing—Rich?"
The elder brother appeared behind Pepe, and pressed her shoulder gently. The girl had never felt her elder brother's armor so cold.
"Do not-"
Pepe's eyes widened, "You can't do this!"
"Send your sister to the hospital for a good time, and let the meditation master check her little head well by the way."
Dad said to his brother expressionlessly, "For two days, no, three days, don't let her leave the hospital for half a step."
