Chapter 100 Selfishness
"Why do you believe in the existence of gods? And why do you believe that gods want to save us, rather than simply to exterminate our civilization?"
Facing the interrogator's new questions, Lin Liyuan maintained a peaceful smile on his face: "Because my mentor showed me the power of the gods."
There was a hint of nostalgia on his face as he recalled things that happened long ago.
"I was young then, and I fell in love with a girl. I loved her so much that I would have given my life for her.
But she was always so distant to me, and I felt so miserable.
Just when I felt my life was completely bleak, my mentor appeared before me. I asked him what I should do, but he didn't tell me directly. He just told me to stay behind a big tree in the school playground at 3:00 PM the next day and not move.
The next day, I went there and stayed there until dark, when I suddenly heard the voice of the girl I loved deeply.
She came here with a man I didn't know, and they chatted and kissed.
She also mentioned me. She said that she had already hooked me and that in just a few days she would be able to close the trap and cheat all my money away.
The man, whom I didn’t know, asked her if she was really attracted to me. She replied that she was just playing with me.”
Lin Liyuan said with some emotion: "My mentor taught me and helped me recognize her true face.
I was very angry at the time, so I rushed out to confront them both, and then we started arguing, and then... I accidentally killed them both.
After I got angry, I was scared. I was afraid of getting caught.
Then I met my mentor again, who told me that if anyone asked me anything, I should just say one sentence.
The sentence was... Around seven o'clock in the evening, I saw a man with half bald hair, a thin body, and wearing plaid clothes walking towards the lake.
I don't know why I said that, but later when the security guards questioned me, I still said that.
Then I was released. Later I learned that he was a madman who had killed many people. The two people I killed were also counted as his because of what I said.
At this time, a line of words appeared on the big screen.
"Subsequent investigations and review of historical records have confirmed that a corresponding murder did occur during the corresponding era, and the murderer, according to records, was indeed a madman."
Lin Liyuan continued slowly, "After I graduated from school, my family went bankrupt and I was lost in life.
My instructor advised me to go to a certain road at noon the next day and pay attention to an obese man.
When I got there, I saw the fat man, who had dropped his wallet when he walked past me. I picked up the wallet and waited for him to walk away. After a while, I contacted him according to the contact information above.
The fat man was very grateful to me and said I saved his life. He was the boss of a certain group, and to repay me, he helped me arrange a job..."
Zhou Cheng noticed that the cases confessed by Lin Liyuan seemed to involve predictions about the future.
In other words, it is a prediction of the probability of certain things happening in the future.
Lin Liyuan chattered on and on, telling seven or eight cases.
At this time, he was completely convinced of the "mentor".
"The teacher saw that I was truly devoted, so he took me to the Holy Mountain. There, for the first time, I directly felt the kindness and beauty of the gods."
Lin Liyuan looked a little excited.
“The gods allowed me to experience the beauty of a higher-dimensional world, and then told me that they would save the entire civilization and everyone.
But he cannot extend enough power to our low-dimensional world, and he still needs our cooperation.
I will also become a participant and executor in saving human civilization.
During this process, there will be many people who don’t understand me, many who misunderstand me, dislike me, and even hate me, but it doesn’t matter.”
He smiled at the interrogator and said, "When you are freed from the shackles of the flesh, saved by the gods, and ascended to a higher dimension, you will come to thank me."
The interrogator was silent for a moment, then asked, "Who is the mentor? What does he look like?"
"I don't know. He was wearing a mask and I couldn't see his face."
"Where is the Holy Mountain?"
"I don't know. I was unconscious when I was taken to the Holy Mountain."
“How did Spirit show you the beauty of higher dimensions?”
"It was a wonderful feeling. I felt like I was instantly rising to a very high place, where I could see so many things and do so many things. I... I can't describe it in detail. In short, it was heaven."
"May all your wishes come true?"
"It's a step higher than just wishing for something, freer and more beautiful. I'm sorry, I can't describe it clearly, but it doesn't matter, you can feel it too. The gods will save us all."
"How does the instructor contact you? How does he assign tasks to you?"
"Some information will be delivered to me through various means, probably similar to the means used to deliver information to you. I will just follow the instructions."
The interrogator asked Lin Liyuan many questions from various angles and directions, and he answered each question as detailed as possible.
The interrogation lasted for several days. Even after editing and retaining only the important parts, the video presented to Zhou Cheng was still several hours long.
At the end of the interrogation, the interrogator asked Lin Liyuan, "You have unwavering faith in your mission, and you have immense reverence for the gods and your mentor. So why did you confess everything so easily?"
Lin Liyuan smiled and said, "The reason is simple. The gods... don't care too much about these things.
Whether you know it or not will not affect the final result.
We will certainly try to cover up, but if the cover-up fails and you discover it, the gods will allow us to confess everything. Because they are merciful."
"You want to die? Why?"
"Because only by dying can one escape the shackles of the flesh, be saved, and ascend to a higher dimension..."
"Then why didn't you commit suicide? Why didn't your comrades and mentor commit suicide?"
Lin Liyuan's face once again showed a sacred look: "We are the executors of the human dimension upgrade plan.
Before the plan is fully implemented, the gods will not allow us to commit suicide, because this is a selfish act, giving up the salvation of the entire civilization for the sake of one's own selfish interests.
But if you lose your life while carrying out the plan, it is not included and can be saved. So..."
Lin Liyuan looked at the interrogator in front of him with some longing: "I didn't let myself be caught by you on purpose. If I die after being sentenced to death by you, it won't be considered suicide.
So, I can cooperate with all your requests, but can you kill me quickly?
I’ve had enough of this filthy world, filled with aging and sick bodies. I want to be saved quickly and go to the world I once visited…”
