Chapter 292 Delaying Time
The moment the medical department member showed up on the tablet computer, the network engineering department had already taken action, as if trying to atone for their sins. Under the leadership of the bald captain, everyone in the network engineering department locked onto the other party's position in a very short time and notified Lin Ze in time.
Lin Ze had a hidden headset on one ear, and she had already given instructions while Li Muhan was communicating with the young man named Professor.
Late at night, eight vehicles from the Special Management Bureau were speeding towards the port of Tianhai City.
The source of the signal indicated that the professor and his team were currently in a container area in the port area.
The person in charge of leading this operation is Yan Yu, the captain of the execution team.
She sat in the co-pilot seat, loaded the two special pistols at her waist, and put on the headset. She was wearing a tactical bulletproof vest specially made by the Special Management Bureau, and a set of field uniforms used by the executive force. The executive force was fully responsible for this operation, not for anything else, but because the enemy this time was very special.
Professor, this name that left some shadows in the hearts of the older generation of Tianhai City Special Management Bureau should have been forever buried in the long river of history.
And now, at this moment, he appeared again like a ghost and caused considerable trouble to the Special Management Bureau.
"Arriving at the port in three minutes."
The team member in charge of driving reported to Yan Yu, who nodded and then loaded the gun.
......
At the scene of the incident, Li Muhan looked at the man named Professor on the screen, and always felt that there was a kind of depth hidden in the other's eyes that even he found creepy.
"I don't care if you're a beast or a swordsman. I have something to ask you."
Li Muhan realized that there was a very crucial point in the few short sentences the other party had just said to him.
"Out of respect for you, Captain Li, ask."
The boy still had no expression on his face, and his deep purple eyes looked at Li Muhan blankly.
"You mentioned Huo Tian just now, right... Then let me ask you, did you provide him with the fragment of the Heart of the World?"
This question is very critical. The intelligence department of the Special Management Bureau is still investigating where the fragments of the World's Heart that Huo Tian used to transform himself into an alien came from. Now that Li Muhan said this, it is really possible that it was provided by this man.
"A ghost who lived only for revenge. I simply fulfilled his last wish. At least in the end, he killed his enemy with his own hands, didn't he?"
"Fuck you! He clearly had other options! It was you, a bastard, who pushed him into a dead end!"
Li Muhan glared at the professor on the screen and shouted.
"Why are you angry?" The young man tilted his head slightly, as if he was surprised by Li Muhan's anger. "Don't you want your teacher to die contentedly?"
"The person who deserves to die the most is you! You lunatic!"
Lin Ze patted Li Muhan's shoulder gently, signaling him not to get excited. At the same time, a weak voice came from behind everyone.
"There's no point in telling him this, Captain Li. He's just a lunatic."
Everyone turned around and saw Wu Qin, with one eye bandaged, being supported by someone from the medical department and walking towards them.
The young man in the picture also had a slightly changed expression after seeing Wu Qin: "Do you have the right to call me crazy?"
"President Wu, are you alright with your injury?"
Mo Qiao looked at Wu Qin who looked like he would fall at any time and asked worriedly.
Wu Qin raised his hand to signal Mo Qiao to stop talking, then he walked to the front of the screen and said coldly, "You've been silent for so long, why did you come back?"
"Why did you come back? That's a truly intriguing question, Wuqin. All of this is thanks to you. The experimental subject you created allowed me to witness an unprecedented form of life evolution."
The boy's voice was calm and deep.
Wu Qin glanced at the girl in the mirror who was smiling all the time. Her smile in the mirror was like that of a carefully carved porcelain doll, flawless, but with a hint of mechanical indifference.
He snorted coldly, as if mocking his own failure. "Originally, this life form truly had all the potential to become a perfect being. But now, your so-called theories of personality formation have twisted it into utter garbage."
The corners of the boy's mouth rose slightly, outlining a slightly sarcastic smile, and his eyes flashed with provocation.
"You call it trash? Wuqin, but I have to tell you, this is the first time in my life that I haven't shaped a life according to my own wishes. Yes, initially, I intended to transform it according to my ideals and let it grow under my guidance. However, to my surprise, it took the initiative to ask me to use your methods to cultivate it, because it believes that it is your child."
After hearing what the young man said, Wu Qin frowned slightly: "What did you say?"
"Don't you understand what I mean? This is the first time since I was born that I haven't interfered with the development and evolution of life. I gave it three choices, and it became what it is now purely of its own will."
"...Three choices? Wait, you're saying those three murders were choices!?"
Li Muhan was stunned by the young man's words. He didn't understand what these people were talking about. Were they talking about life? The evolution of life? Why would the evolution of life rely on the lives of others for nourishment?
"That's right, Captain Li, think about it carefully. In these three performances, what kind of roles did she play, and in the end, which role did she choose to be?" The boy's words were like an invisible thread, pulling Li Muhan's thoughts and forcing him to review every transformation of Mu Ya.
For the first time, she sat on the judge's throne, looking down from above, and weighing crime and punishment with a fair scale. She was the embodiment of law and morality, an impeccable judge of justice.
The second time, she abandoned the noble mask and turned to fight injustice with iron-blooded means, fighting violence with violence, becoming a chivalrous person who did not care about the origin and only sought to punish evil and promote good. She transformed herself into a private law enforcer.
The third time, she no longer tried to distinguish between good and evil, adopting a detached attitude towards all life. She gave up all performances, and even gave up her humanity. So, she used Qi Su to break into the Special Management Bureau, and then used Beelzebub's power to end Qi Su's life. At this moment, she had completely degenerated into an unprincipled criminal, a complete rebel.
"Have you figured it out? Captain Li, I didn't play a big role in this. Aside from writing you a letter warning you of the murder, I was just a bystander. I even gave you some hints, but unfortunately, you didn't see anything."
The young man sighed, seeming a little disappointed with Li Muhan.
"...murder warning letter? You mean, you wrote the murder warning letter to Huang Yujie?! That M wasn't Mu Ya... it was you? Who... are you?"
The background of the boy gradually became noisy. The burly man with a mask walked up to the boy and whispered a few words. Li Muhan had very sharp hearing and he heard it clearly: Professor, the people from the Special Management Bureau have arrived.
Li Muhan understood instantly that Lin Ze had already made arrangements, and he had accidentally stopped the man who claimed to be a professor here.
"It seems my friends from the Special Management Bureau can't wait to meet me."
The professor smiled for the first time. He looked at Li Muhan and said, "Captain Li, your existence is very special, and it's the one I most want to portray. The diversity within you is so complex that even I can't immediately figure out which world you belong to. So, I really want to hear your judgment on good and evil. In your eyes, the Special Management Bureau is good, and we are evil, right?"
Li Muhan thought for a while, and finally replied: "...I don't know the full story yet, so I won't comment."
This answer somewhat displeased the surrounding Special Management Bureau staff, but it made Lin Ze laugh out loud. The professor on the other side of the screen also seemed to find Li Muhan's answer quite interesting: "In the abstract dimension of the multiverse, moral good and evil can be regarded as a topological property in non-Euclidean geometry, independent of the observer's coordinate system. Good and evil are like the two extremes on the positive and negative number axis. Their relative position does not affect the structure of the entire number field. In this number field, every event or behavior can be mapped into a vector, and its projection on the axis of good and evil represents moral value."
"...I'm not good at math, so you speak human language."
Li Muhan was getting a little impatient, but he had to stop this man. Why did he sound like a university mathematics professor?
"At least you understand this is mathematics." The professor smiled, then sighed and said, "In general, the relativity and complexity of good and evil in the world are like path integrals on Riemannian manifolds, or the unpredictable chaos in complex mathematical models. Their essence transcends the simple binary opposition of positive and negative, and tends towards a dynamic equilibrium and multi-dimensional coexistence. Captain Li, what you just thought was correct. I am indeed a mathematics professor."
Li Muhan frowned slightly. Can this guy read minds?
"I can't read minds. Although your existence is extremely complex, your mind is surprisingly good at analyzing things. So, have you wasted enough time?"
The professor pointed out Li Muhan's intention to delay time without hesitation, but he also had no intention of hanging up the phone and running away.
"I would be much happier if you could sit down again, have a cup of tea, and we continue our conversation, and give me a math lesson, Professor."
Li Muhan also tried every possible way to delay the other party, but the boy just shook his head in the end: "Forget it, your brain is really stupid. Li Muhan, if you want to know who I am, then I will tell you in the most direct way. You can call me Professor."
"I already know that."
"You can also call me... James Moriarty."
