Half an hour later, Sikong pushed An in a wheelchair to the platform of the escape tower—a place that was obviously more suitable for conversation than the cold life laboratory.
An's white robe was also replaced by a thicker uniform. He looked like a human engineer who once lived in an escape tower. However, her eyes were covered by a dark eyepatch, and even her previous domineering aura was gone.
Obviously, the words "for the sake of saving my life" greatly reduced Sikong's judgment of its threat, but even so, she still kept a distance of more than three meters from Xia Fan.
"Her eyes..." Xia Fan was slightly dazed, so there was another woman in his memory who often wore an eyepatch.
"She has not really used her eyes, so the exposure to natural light should be reduced as much as possible in the early stage." Sikong explained, "The same is true for the limbs - being in a petri dish for a long time will make the muscles relaxed and weak, which is something that synthetic technology cannot To make up for it, she needs to train the day after tomorrow to recover.”
And when she was still evil, her movements were so fast that it was almost difficult to catch them with the naked eye.
Until now, Xia Fan still feels a little unbelievable that chaotic entities can really be restored to conscious human individuals.
"This is the smell of the wind." An took off her gloves and raised her forearms, feeling the breeze blowing from the mountains. "I thought I would never touch the wind again."
"Evil... Chaos entities can't feel the wind?"
"I know what you want to say, but the name actually doesn't matter." An put down his hand, "People who have crossed the border will have a completely different understanding of the world. However, summer insects cannot talk about ice. Even if I have set foot on the border, I still can't understand it now. Words cannot describe that inhuman feeling.”
Xia Fan suddenly realized that this person did not reject evil spirits.
In other words... the evil spirit she recognized was different from what she thought.
"I thought you would be happier."
"What are you happy about?"
Xia Fan thought for a moment and decided to raise the issue.
Standing is far more important than "reason" in disputes between ethnic groups.
"Happy to be human again."
An's face suddenly showed an extremely complicated expression - even if he couldn't see her eyes, Xia Fan could feel her contradiction at the moment.
"To say that I'm not happy at all would be a lie." She leaned back slightly, as if to let more of her face bathe in the sun, "I'm not the type of person who actively crosses boundaries; Innocent people were affected. In the process, many people died, and many lost consciousness and became real monsters. Although I survived, I cannot be considered a fully evolved type, otherwise I would not be able to do so. This form was 'summoned' here."
Xia Fan didn't answer, he was waiting for the other party's turn.
"But -" she said as expected, "crossing the boundary also means a new perception. Gravity, magnetism, strong force, weak force... visible light, invisible light, and even dimensions... have all become elements that can be directly perceived. Of course, there are The so-called anger... do you know what that means?"
Xia Fan was silent.
"Broader freedom." An sighed, "Once you experience it, you will never forget it."
Thinking has also mentioned this.
He knew that what the other party said was true, and the transformation of the human body started from this fatal temptation.
"But I didn't expect... the price would be the extinction of the human race as a species." An straightened his body and looked directly at Xia Fan, "After crossing the border, there are no more human emotions, so I can't have thoughts of regret or disgust. , but now that I have turned back into a human, I will naturally stand on the human side. Therefore, I am willing to help you."
These words made Xia Fan feel reassured.
From an evolutionary perspective, this may be a step backwards, but the pursuit of continuation of the race is by no means a mistake.
"What happened at that time?" This is also the question Xia Fan wants to know the most, "Why can you still turn back from the other side of the border?"
He even thought for a time that Luo Qingqing's soul resided in the glass body that was melted into a teardrop shape.
Theoretically, it is impossible to return to this situation, just as it is impossible for animals that have evolved notochords to degenerate into molluscs. Once they cross that door, the differences between species become a natural chasm.
After taking the tear drop back to the escape tower for some research, Xia Fan and Si Kong were surprised to find that the faint light that was constantly flashing on the dragon scales was extremely orderly. After translating it into electrical signals, most of the frequencies were comparable to those of natural humans. Brainwaves matched. Luo Qingqing is an artificial life form defined by Escape Tower, which obviously does not meet this characteristic.
Among the people present, only Xia Fan met the definition of a natural person, but his consciousness remained in his body and had nothing to do with the dragon scales.
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility - the chaotic entity evolved from a legal natural person, and they happened to have just eliminated an extremely rare evil spirit.
So a bold idea came to Xia Fan's mind, that is, to create a synthetic life, and then inject this consciousness into the brain of the newborn larvae, thereby realizing communication with this consciousness.
"Hmm... I don't have an answer to this yet." An shrugged, "It's said to be crossing the border, but in fact it's a one-way street, which is also an iron rule of biological evolution. If the species tree diagram can still take a detour, then What kind of chaos would it be like? And if there was really a way to change it back, the transformation research at that time would not be called 'sweet but deadly dove wine'."
"You don't know either..." Xia Fan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"I can only be sure that it was definitely not a coincidence, because it is not allowed by the rules."
"So it was caused by external forces?" He read the meaning of the other party's words.
"How about you tell me about the scene at that time?" An Daidai didn't give up thinking. "After the memory of pure consciousness is transformed, many details will be lost. To be honest, I don't remember much about that moment."
"Si Kong." Xia Fan gestured towards Si Kong.
The latter nodded and showed a three-dimensional image of Rising Sun Mountain. After every battle of the Jinxia Army, the staff will conduct a review and discussion, and this information will also be recorded by Sicon.
With images, telling stories becomes much easier.
What's more, Xia Fan still remembers that battle clearly.
"Wait a minute... you said that after the battle, this ruins was activated again?" An, who had been listening attentively, suddenly said until the end, "Where did it send people?"
"A city in the past." Xia Fan replied casually, "But this is only the goal conceived by Ning Qianshi. Whether Yueying Temple can be realized is another question. In any case, turning back time is too stupid. Yi…”
He suddenly froze mid-sentence.
What if Tsukikageji granted his prayer
The activation of the immortal weapon requires a large amount of Qi, and the chaotic entity is essentially the embodiment of the Qi of consciousness—
Xia Fan looked at An with wide eyes.
And An's slightly raised eyebrows seemed to indicate that she was thinking about him.
The evolutionary gap between species is unbridgeable.
But in the face of the barrier of time, this unattainable natural chasm seems to be eclipsed!
