"Let go of me, Ricky, let me go!"
"I hate you, Ricky, I hate you to death, I will never talk to you again, let me go!"
"How did you become like this, how did you and your father become like this, changed beyond recognition, I don't even know you at all! Are you really my brother and father? You shouldn't be invaded by some alien race in the starry sky , have you seized your home?"
"Please, brother, you can't do this, Shannuya is innocent, it didn't make any mistakes at all, on the contrary, it has been protecting us, even sacrificing its limbs more than once! It needs us, and we need It can't be treated so cruelly!"
"Brother, think about when we were young, didn't you also like Shannuya very much? I remember that at that time, you gave birth to the dream of becoming a dream maker earlier than me. You liked Shannuya more than I did. You often Go and tell Shannuya a story, Shannuya and I are your loyal listeners—why did you change now, since you grew up, everything has changed, everything has changed!"
The girl struggled on her brother's shoulders, kicking her legs and scratching her hands, but she couldn't stop her brother from carrying her to the hospital in New Hope City like a cold statue with no expression on his face.
This place was originally a large general hospital, not to mention the people living on Shannuya, even the residents who mined in many asteroid belts would come here for treatment when they got seriously ill—but it was the same as everything around them. , that was all in the distant past. Now, people have built medical ships with advanced facilities and a beautiful environment. Most people go there to see a doctor. Only some meditators and psychiatrists from the Dream Control Bureau are left. Still stationed here.
Pepe used to wonder why the psychiatrist was still here.
Now she knows.
The elder brother locked her in a white room covered with sponges on six sides, and there was no way to hit the wall. He licked the scars on his arms from being scratched by her, and kept silent.
The girl was still angry, she stared at her brother, and said ruthlessly: "Lei Qi, you have changed!"
"certainly."
My brother is like a small father, calmly said, "Everyone, no, all life will grow up and change, I will change, and Shannuya will also change."
Pepe was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a long pause, she reluctantly said: "No, Shannuya and I will always be like this, and we will never become as dark as you and Dad..."
"Yes."
My brother laughed, "The reason why we have become so dark is that we hope that the people we protect will always be bright and never become like us."
Pepe opened her mouth, she really didn't know what to say, and she couldn't express her great anger, so she could only beg weakly: "Brother, do you really want to do this, there is no other way? Can you go and talk to me again? Dad begged for mercy, either, or you let me go and talk to Shannuya? There is always a way, we can always come up with a solution that doesn't hurt anyone."
"Let you go and tell Shannuya that we are going to kill it?"
The elder brother asked calmly, "Can you predict how Shannuya will react after hearing such news, and how many people will be killed by his reaction? Including the people still living on it, and the people around it fleet—five million, ten million, fifty million or more
"Yes, Shannuya is very kind and pitiful. Of course its life is precious. A naive and kind little girl like you can't bear to watch it die in ignorance. It's nothing more than normal.
"However, our compatriots, those five million, ten million, fifty million or even more human beings, including all your little friends, are also innocent, kind, and pitiful. Those who were just born, Babies who know nothing, they also have the right to continue to live.
"If you insist on going your own way and disregard the lives of hundreds of millions of people in order to save Shannuya, I don't think this is a kind of real kindness. Perhaps, from the perspective of all human beings, this is the greatest. evil."
Pepe was left speechless as if struck by lightning.
The elder brother sighed and squatted down.
"Don't blame Dad for being ruthless. Dad can't help it. You know that many things are not decided by the Dreamland Control Bureau, not even by our small fleet."
The elder brother continued, "Whether Dad, the chief, or our fleet commander, is a small person in front of the 'Supreme Joint Operations Conference', the monitoring of each Void Hunter has always been a major event jointly supervised by all human fleets. , just when our Void Hunter asked the question of 'who am I', hundreds of fleets under the Supreme Combat Council communicated through gravitational waves, and received an alarm at the same time, and paid close attention to our disposal of the Void Hunter— According to the "Emergency Plan", in case of the worst outcome, that is, if the Void Hunter completely loses control and destroys or even enslaves the entire fleet, all other human fleets are free to attack us, killing us together with the out-of-control Void Hunter. Complete destruction!"
"what!"
It was the first time Pepe heard such an amazing "Emergency Plan", the girl couldn't understand at all, "How could this be?"
"If it's not like this, what should it be? Could it be that the Void Hunter devours the human fleet, analyzes all the secrets in the fleet and the human mind, and further develops into a terrifying demon king that we can't imagine?"
My brother sighed again, and said, "Actually, Dad and our Commander are very conservative in their attitudes towards Void Hunters—they both like Void Hunters, like the traditional way of life, and hope that humans and Void Hunters To be able to coexist peacefully and continue to maintain a symbiotic relationship of mutual need, really!"
"how is this possible?"
Pepe was suspicious, "Father obviously wants to kill Shannuya!"
"Destroying is for rebirth, and killing Shannuya is to make those 'anti-void hunters' in the Supreme Combat Conference find no reason to completely eliminate the void hunters."
My brother said, "With the advancement of starship refining technology and the colonization of a large number of caves, human civilization has undergone earth-shaking changes in the social form and organizational structure in the past thousand years. The core, to build their own towns and fleets, but now, among the hundreds of human fleets, there are less than 20 remaining with void hunters as the core, and the remaining fleets have either found new habitable planets, or become A complete starship civilization, in short, the new human civilization that is constantly rising does not need such things as void hunters at all."
