Chapter 725: Plan number three

Views:

Charles looked at T6 in front of him with a complicated expression. He was deeply shocked by the other party's lofty ideal of saving all mankind.

But considering the way they looked now and the things they did, Charles had a weird feeling that what they did was totally different from what they said.

"Since you keep saying that this is for all of humanity, then why didn't you provide relief when the Earthsea humans were being killed by the Death Ray? The darkness finally returned to the surface, why did you take it away?"

Charles' words made T6 silent for a long time. As the two jaws with green venom trembled slightly, T6 explained to him: "You have to know that the Foundation is not a one-man show. Everyone has different understandings of the way to save all mankind."

"I reiterate once again that I am a researcher and I don't have much say in the foundation. When Plan No. 3 was voted on, I also voted against it. But in the end, the minority obeyed the majority."

"Plan No. 3? What Plan No. 3?" Charles felt a little uneasy for some reason.

"You know too much. Not only did this group of humans go to the surface, but they also knew about the existence of the Foundation. There are too many people who know about it, and we can't clean them all up. What's more terrible is that under your leadership, the development is too fast."

"Human curiosity is endless. When you come out of this desperate situation, within a hundred years at most, your technology will reach a bottleneck just like the previous foundation. Eventually, you will definitely become curious about the power of the gods.

"And try to understand them and use them, just like the divine blood in the past."

"The power of God is a taboo. The previous generation of the Foundation is a lesson for us. We don't want such an outcome to befall all of humanity, so we are forced to activate Plan 3."

Hearing this, Charles already knew what Plan 3 was. His feelings towards the Foundation changed instantly, and his voice trembled. "So, you want to exterminate all the humans in Earthsea?"

"The Foundation doesn't want this kind of situation. We have done a lot to lock down Earthsea's technology."

"We destroyed the British Isle just as it was beginning to develop, and we were also planning to completely sink your Island of Hope, but the disappearance of darkness disrupted everyone's plans."

"First, we didn't expect that the sealed God of Light could escape through the Pope. Second, you unexpectedly appeared in the Earthsea. You are a very special variable."

T6's words made Charles feel cold in his heart. Facing the plan of extinction of the entire human race, they actually said it so easily.

"Is this what you call everything for the sake of all mankind? The belief you just mentioned is to kill all mankind? Have you lived too long and really thought of yourselves as gods?!?"

Charles discovered that these guys were as evil at heart as they looked.

"Don't worry. There are enough embryos stored in the incubator. When the local sea returns to complete peace, humans of the new era will appear again. They will continue their new round of reincarnation safely under our care. As long as there are no variables like you, they will continue to live safely."

The other party's words seemed to anger Charles. He roared at the spider in front of him with anger: "Is this the belief of abandoning everything to save all mankind? Are you doing this for humanity itself, or just for the concept of saving humanity?"

Facing Charles' questioning, T6 took a half step back and said, "Sorry, I'm a science student. I don't really want to discuss philosophical issues with others. For this kind of question, maybe you can go to O5. Besides, I voted against it at the meeting before. They were the ones who voted in favor."

Charles was about to say something when his face suddenly changed. He quickly suppressed his somewhat out-of-control emotions and looked around calmly.

On the black stone tablet next to it, a twisted black and white worm slowly crawled out. It was Piper, also E4, a member of the Foundation's GK Council.

Then Charles felt a familiar voice again. It was Pad's voice, the being with divine power who was outside at this moment.

He knew that facing these people, there was no hope for him to escape. No matter how strong he was, he could not match Paide, who had almost god-like power.

"Did you contact them?" Charles looked at T6 in front of him, trying to collect more information.

Charles looked down at the pair of relic boots under his feet that could be stepped on various surfaces. They were very practical boots but had almost no presence.

This was a gift given to him by the King of the Hek tribe when he came to the Sea of Misty Sea a few years ago and rescued a servant of God.

Now it seems that this gift has a very big problem.

Charles bent down, took off his boots and threw them in front of T6. "With this tracker, you know everything I do, right?"

Piper came in front of Charles and turned his hideous mouthparts. "No, this is not just a tracker, it's actually an execution device. Just press the switch and a small amount of drug will infiltrate you and kill you instantly."

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~" Black spider silk as thin as hair fell from above, trapping Charles tightly without any resistance.

"Charles, don't be too quick to thank us. When the central computer determined that you were too dangerous, we had already executed the execution order. Your mind and reason had also shown early symptoms of poisoning, but what was very strange was that you didn't die."

The other party's words made Charles think a lot, but he was rational and didn't ask any questions.

The worm's twisted tail rolled Charles up from the ground. "Charles, you are a very special variable. We need to study you carefully."

Just as Piper was carrying him out, T6's voice rang in his mind, "Charles, don't worry, they don't mean to harm you. You are very special. As long as you behave well, the GK Council may even consider accepting you into the foundation."

Hearing this, Charles' heart sank. He suddenly felt that he could solve the current dilemma from other aspects. He said to T6 in his heart: "If I join the Foundation, can I stop Plan 3?"

"No, once Plan 3 is launched, it cannot be terminated. I know what you did, but I'm sorry, you may be the only one who survives this catastrophe."

Anna, Winky, Lily, Bandage, Dipper, and all the bonds they had in Earthsea flashed quickly through Charles' mind, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

He would never compromise. His wife, daughter, crew, and lover were all on Plan 3's elimination list. His home had been lost once, and it must not be lost a second time.

However, Charles knew that it was impossible to escape now. Since the other party wanted to absorb him into the foundation, this was an opportunity to turn the tables, perhaps the only chance.

Watching Charles being taken away by his colleagues, T6 sighed slightly in his heart. He came to a stone tablet and quickly sketched with his sharp forefinger. Soon, the new mathematical formula quickly covered the entire stone tablet.

He folded up a dozen spider legs as thick as telephone poles, then lay there, quietly looking at the stone tablet in front of him and began to think. As T6 thought, all the brains on his back began to tremble gradually.

As time went by, the brain trembled more and more violently. When it reached the climax, "pop!" a pink, slender brain exploded, and white brain matter splattered everywhere.

But T6 seemed to be used to it, and had no reaction at all, still immersed in the vastness.
