"..."
"You kept mentioning the advantages, but you didn't mention any of the disadvantages. Your calculations were pretty good."
While lowering his head and continuing to apply paint on the barbecue, Bai Zhi curled his lips indifferently.
"What you said sounds nice, but what about those who died directly or indirectly because of you? Strictly speaking, at this stage, you are more harmful than the ghost stories."
"Of course, I do not deny the harm caused by the emergence of people like us, so I have always strictly controlled the number of new humans, but I don't feel that I have done anything wrong... In order to achieve the goal, some sacrifices have been made necessary."
Turning his head to look at the freighter that was about to arrive not far away, the doctor spoke calmly.
"It takes too long for a player to grow up. Coupled with the resources required in the growth process, it is simply impossible to cope with an increasingly chaotic world. At that time, we, the new humans, will Time to shine.”
"And that day is definitely not far away."
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1304 Chapter 387 Loli Mistaken Me (4k)
The sky was gloomy and the sea was as black as ink. The two met in the distance, forming a dark twilight.
"Really? But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your theory."
Bai Zhi continued to focus on grilling his own barbecue without even raising his head.
"Your theory, in the final analysis, is just the rhetoric in your mouth. Necessary sacrifice? No life should ever be sacrificed for others, unless he is willing."
"maybe… "
Surprisingly, the doctor did not refute Bai Zhi's words. Instead, the doctor sighed.
"That's the end of this conversation. I don't think it's necessary to continue. I hope you can stay calm when you get on the boat. I also hope the three over there are the same. After all, their current situation is very different. Stablize."
"What's the situation on the ship?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the freighter that was rapidly approaching not far away.
This cargo ship is quite large in size. The yacht transformed from Type 3 machinery is like an ant or an elephant in front of the other party. No wonder Anna was so surprised before.
"You'll know when you come up and take a look."
Shaking his head slightly, the doctor stood up with a rather strange look on his face.
"This sea area... is very weird."
… … … … … … … … …
Soon, Bai Zhi understood what the other party meant by weirdness.
Looking at the doctor who was walking among a bunch of monsters in front of him and greeting them with a smile, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look a little weird.
—On this freighter, except for the doctor, everyone else is a monster.
The limbs are extremely long and narrow, and the eyes protrude from the sockets like goldfish. The muscles of the mandible atrophy and expose the gums. The face looks ferocious and terrifying... This is the universal appearance of these monsters.
Although it is possible to vaguely see from the tattered clothes on these monsters what these people looked like when they were humans, no matter who sees them for the first time, they will never distinguish them from each other. Human beings connect with each other.
What is even more strange is that these monsters seem to have no consciousness of being monsters at all. Judging from their respective behavioral logic and communication, they still seem to regard themselves as members of the human race.
However, even if the words spoken by these monsters are illogical and completely incomprehensible, the doctor seems to be able to communicate with these monsters.
Maybe he had said something to these monsters, so although they were a little surprised by the combination between Bai Zhi and San Loli, they did not gather around them, but gradually dispersed.
"No... do you want to play?"
Looking at the three little ones in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, is this okay?"
Looking up at him, Anna blinked.
"But this freighter is full of them... Okay, be careful and remember to come back early."
Bai Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at the expectant expressions on the faces of the lolita in front of him and thinking about it for a while, he finally chose to compromise.
In the past, Qingyi Anna and the others basically stayed at home obediently and rarely went out. The few times they went out, he took them with him, so they were curious about some new things they were exposed to. Very normal thing.
It's rare to come out now, but in the end, you have to restrict the other person to stay by your side all the time. What's the difference from before
... As for worrying about them
Bai Zhi felt that instead of worrying about this, it was better to worry about the fact that this freighter was coming...
Well... I hope those crew members are okay...
“Your Highness, don’t worry!!”
After getting his permission, Anna immediately cheered in her mouth. After raising her hands to make a promise to him, she immediately turned around and greeted Qingyi and Hitomi. got up.
"Okay, Qing Yi, Hitomi, let's go exploring! This ship is so big, there must be treasure hidden somewhere inside!!"
Bai Zhi: "..."
Treasure... What used to be a joint loli combat team has now become a joint loli adventure team
Among the three lolita, although Anna was obviously the mastermind, Bai Zhi also saw the eagerness to try on the faces of Qingyi and Hitomi... Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
"By the way, this is for you."
Calling Anna and her friends, who were self-reliant as the leader of the Loli adventure group, to open the door and want to start their own adventure, Bai Zhi took out the Ragdoll cat from his backpack and handed it to them.
"If you want to travel, let's use a ragdoll cat to travel."
To be honest, with [Ghost Domain] and [Type 3 Machinery] around, he rarely uses the Ragdoll Cat now, and every time the Ragdoll Cat is damaged, he feels distressed to death.
The ragdoll cat itself is exclusive to Anna, so it is just right to give it to the other party at this moment.
Ever since, after the doctor and the captain had discussed the next itinerary and returned to the guest room, they happened to see a blond loli, a white-haired loli, and a black-haired loli riding together. The scene of a ragdoll cat running away happily in the corridor...
doctor:"???"
To be honest, what scene has he not seen since he was a child
But he has never seen a scene like the one in front of him before... This world is changing too fast for him.
… … … … … … … … …
"...Aren't you worried about them being in danger?"
After walking into the guest room and looking at someone standing by the window overlooking the sea, the doctor asked wordlessly.
"Although I barely control the situation on this ship, accidents still happen from time to time, and crew members constantly break through the boundaries and slide into the abyss. Are you so relieved about them?"
"Well... you have a point."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded, then put his palms together and prayed devoutly.
"Hope those crew members are okay??."
doctor:"… …"
"Okay, let's talk about the situation in detail. What's going on here now, and what's going on with the crew members who turned into monsters."
Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"Also, what did you mean by cooperation at the beginning?"
"To be precise, I don't know what's going on."
He also pulled out a chair and sat down. The doctor showed a wry smile on his face.
"Before I got on this freighter, the people on the ship had already begun to become alienated. I thought about treating them, but I couldn't find any ideas or methods at all. Alienation to that extent is not just Just simple physical changes.”
"Cognitive distortion?"
Recalling the behavior of those monsters when he got on the boat, Bai Zhi slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Although they have turned into monsters, in their perception, they are still humans?"
"That's right."
The doctor sighed in his mouth.
"Their alienation is already very serious. I can still communicate with them now, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, their self-awareness will become monsters."
“…contamination?”
For some reason, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of the "Insect Envoy" from the Tomb of the World audition stage.
At that time, the opponent, who was a member of the evil god, turned those players into bugs and insect nests. Those players who turned into bugs were okay, but those players who turned into insect nests would definitely be destroyed if there were no cocoons around. It cannot be saved.
So by analogy, could the strange rumors that broke out in Japan and got completely out of control be caused by a relative of an evil god
As the followers of the evil god, they have only one goal, which is to dedicate everything to their almighty master. The sea fog that is constantly spreading and swallowing up the surrounding sea areas is considered to be in line with the current situation...
"I don't know. I've been searching here for a long time, but I haven't found the so-called source of pollution... I'm not an orthodox doctor after all."
For some reason, the doctor seemed a little depressed.
"In the past, I tried to treat these people and find ways to make them recover, but the result was that reality slapped me hard."
"How is the result?"
"The one I secretly treated was completely alienated. He turned into a monster and hid in the cabin and killed a crew member."
The doctor had a wry smile on his face.
"When I rushed over, it was already too late. That person... or monster committed suicide in front of me. The smile on his face seemed to be mocking my medical skills... "
Sighing, the doctor simply told Bai Zhi in detail what happened on the freighter and why he came here from beginning to end.
At the very beginning of everything, no one paid much attention to what happened in Japan. After all, at that time, there were endless weird stories happening all over the world. How could there be any mood to care about other things
But as time goes by, these things that happened here gradually became known to the world, and the situation here also worsened day by day.
Until a few days ago, after these situations were jointly controlled by countries around the world, some gossip was widely spread through various channels.
Under the premise that the weird rumors are under control, coupled with the increasingly outrageous news, many players have entered here with the idea of fishing in troubled waters.
In today's general environment, there are actually very few players who have experienced success, and most players have not even gotten a sub-profession.
Just like Bai Zhi himself, if he hadn't been lucky enough to run into that large-scale battle mission, his current situation would probably be similar to that of other players. He might still just be staying in that rental house with Qingyi and the other two. Here, Qingyi and I spend every day either looking for monsters to talk about, or chasing wild monsters around...
—On the system side, there is actually a so-called judgment rule.
As long as the player participates in the ghost story, the player will also receive certain rewards when the ghost story is solved. The higher the difficulty of the ghost story, the more generous the final reward will be.
Because of the existence of this mechanism, a group of players who specialize in talking about monsters have been born. In addition, Japan has a great opportunity to spread it widely, and there are many good things in it. There are rumors, and it is true that many masters and elite players have entered here, so it has attracted a group of players.
The doctor is one of the players who was attracted.
As the saying goes, wealth can be gained through risk. Is there anything in the world that can’t be done without taking risks? If that large-scale battle mission had not come, Bai Zhi, who was currently around level 20 at most, would have pulled Qingyi along to participate in this incident.
"Just because you don't know whether the news is true or false, you all came here collectively?"
After listening to the doctor's story, Bai Zhi looked strange.
"Of course, I have other purposes, but other players do."
The doctor smiled politely.
"Do you know how many top players from different countries have gathered here so far? [Scattered Immortal? Dead Zero], [Blood Emperor? West Pavilion Court Master], [Vagabond? Nuliang], [Destiny? Mo] Ancestor], [Snake of Mercury? Ouroboros]... This is what I know. With so many masters gathered together, do you think it will just be a weird story out of control?"
"Really...there are so many inside stories?"
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
In the past few days, he had basically been accompanying Qing Yi and the others and helping the school beauty Xia Wen and the others prepare supplies for the Tomb of the World, but he didn't care much about this aspect.
In the past, the collection of this information was all done by the school beauties, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead of having time to worry about this, he might as well worry more about things in the Shadow World...
If Chu Ci hadn't called him specifically, he wouldn't have made this trip.
He originally thought that this was just a simple business trip to wrap up, but now from the information he has learned so far, it seems that the purpose of Pluto entering here is not just for those dead souls.
... So why does the parallel doctor in front of me have better information than myself
Logically speaking, shouldn't the relevant departments give me a more accurate detailed account of this incident... uh...
Suddenly something seemed to occur to him, and the corners of Bai Zhi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He found that the relevant departments could not really be blamed for this matter.
When Chu Ci called him before, he made it clear that it was inconvenient to give detailed information over the phone, so he would put detailed information on the special plane sent later for him to refer to on the way. .
But... because of what happened to Qingyi and the others later, he simply refused the special plane arranged by Chu Ci without even thinking about it...
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's complexion darkened involuntarily.
