379 Time
◎Because I don’t have time◎
"Chen Qihang?" Zhu Yao asked, "Your investigator?"
This name sounded too ordinary. Zhu Yao subconsciously thought it was the name of an investigator outside the wall. However, usually any information obtained through investigation was reported by a certain team. Due to the dangers outside the wall, it was difficult to attribute all the credit to a specific person.
Why did Liu Yu focus on these three words: Chen Qihang?
Liu Yu smiled faintly: "No, our investigation team."
Zhu Yao immediately realized that every revelation by Liu Yu was indeed a major event. She asked, "Is the pollutant called Chen Qihang?"
Liu Yu looked at Zhu Yao with admiration. He was indeed an expert in dealing with pollutants. He could see the problem at a glance and had a very active mind.
Liu Yu: "They are a group of pollutants. You can think of them as a shared database. Just knowing one of the interfaces allows you to read everyone's investigative notes."
Interface, what a very interesting description. While Zhu Yao was talking to her, a file had already been automatically generated in his mind: pollutant Chen Qihang, number unknown.
The contamination method is to infect humans into investigators. If it can reach the level mentioned by Liu Yu, then his accurate infection method should be that all contaminated objects must investigate the truth, write investigation notes, complete the mission, and fight until death.
This is the only way to ensure that the information is accurate and selfless, and the notes of the previous person, Chen Qihang, can be used by the next person.
If such pollutants really exist, it should be more beneficial to all mankind. After all, it is more efficient than any existing investigation team.
Zhu Yao was curious about how Chen Qihang operated. Did they use the same database? Did they have a common commanding brain? After all, there had to be someone in charge, someone who could decide which areas were more worthy of exploration.
Zhu Yao: "No, Chen Qihang should also be a person, or in other words, he should have a subject that can think."
Zhu Yao's expression was calm, her tone declarative, not questioning, as if she'd already gotten the answer and didn't need further proof. This time, Liu Yu was even more surprised. Zhu Yao's perceptiveness was a bit exaggerated. She could reconstruct the general facts with just this little information, and there was surprisingly no deviation.
Moreover, Zhu Yao is very young. If Liu Yu does not bring such a person into his team, he thinks it is better to deal with him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Zhu Yao asked: "How do you communicate?"
If Chen Qihang is really a pollutant, he will most likely have to pay some kind of price for his use. What did Liu Yu pay?
Liu Yu: “I know one of the interfaces.”
Zhu Yao sensed that Liu Yu was hiding something and asked, "Can't tell?"
Liu Yu smiled and replied, "It's a secret."
Liu Yu has a special charm when she smiles. Her curly hair makes her look soft, and her eyes seem to contain countless secrets, which are her weapons of attack.
The subtext is that knowing too much is not good for you. Zhu Yao shut up. They had already had several confrontations and she just lost temporarily.
"I can compensate you with an answer." Liu Yu took a sip of coffee and generously offered compensation, just like a gift from a chaebol to a researcher.
Zhu Yao didn't care: "Then you make it up to me."
Liu Yu could feel that many of her rhetoric was ineffective in front of Zhu Yao. She only cared about the results, not the means used.
Liu Yu: "I can reveal your colleagues in advance. One of your colleagues has the surname Huo."
"Huo?" Zhu Yao asked, "Are they from the Huo family?"
Sure enough, this time the escape was not simple. Zhu Yao guessed that each family would send one person to follow the team. If they discovered any important secrets, they would not let go of this opportunity.
However, the Huo family is famous for its predictions. Since they were able to take action, they must have predicted that they would obtain some valuable information this time.
Zhu Yao was also very interested in the mysterious Huo family. This family seemed to have some undisclosed inheritance.
The old witch's predictions were extremely accurate. Some people rumored that she knew the direction of the Federation and was the best prophet.
Liu Yu: "Yes, Huo Jinsheng's biological daughter is called Huo Huaiying, a professional scholar outside the wall."
Huo Huaiying? Zhu Yao hadn't heard of this name much. Different fields are like different worlds. She was immersed in scientific research. Some things she knew clearly, while others were blind spots, but they were things the Huo family should be able to find out.
Liu Yu pulled up a photo and handed the secondary computer to her. "You can get to know her first."
At first glance, Zhu Yao only thought that the hair was very long and he was wearing a protective suit. It was probably taken after the mission. There was a long braid hanging in front of his chest, almost reaching his waist. Zhu Yao had heard that the Huo family grew their hair long, so this should be the symbol of the Huo family.
Huo Huaiying's temperament is completely different from Liu Yu's gentle one. She is even colder, as if there is a line of words written on her face: I'm very busy, if you have something to say, please say it quickly.
Zhu Yao actually felt that he would get along well with Huo Huaiying, as they seemed to have similar personalities.
Did Huo Huaiying inherit the old witch's special powers? If so, with a prophet on the team, the chances of winning increased again.
Zhu Yao knew nothing about the astronomy and geography that scholars from outside the wall needed to study, so it was very convenient to have scholars from outside the wall around him.
Zhu Yao and Huo Huaiying are both scholars, and the rest are probably the most powerful psychics in their respective fields. What is Liu Yu's psychic ability?
Liu Yu asked: "Do you have any other questions?"
Their conversation became more and more fluent, and any questions Zhu Yao had were answered at this stage.
"Yes," Zhu Yao wanted to drink some coffee, but found that it was empty. She said, "It's just a personal question. I'm just curious. It's okay if you don't want to answer."
"Oh?" Liu Yu was very curious about Zhu Yao. She thought he would ask about her special abilities.
Zhu Yao: "I still don't understand why you want to cheat?"
Liu Yu hummed, her tone rising slightly. She didn't understand immediately and asked, "What?"
Zhu Yao: "It sounds like I don't think you need to take the risk yourself."
She quickly grasped the most unreasonable point. The team included scholars from outside the wall, experts in pollutants, half a doctor, and a powerful psychic. This combination was more than enough.
If Utopia is true, Liu Yu, as a very important... new human being with powerful reproductive responsibilities, and a member of the Lu family, can sit back and reap the fruits of his labor. Why does he have to go outside the walls?
Liu Yu understood this time. She was silent for a moment, her lips tightly pursed, one hand stroking the wall of the coffee cup, as if she was thinking about how to answer.
For a moment, the room was very quiet, with only the ticking sound of Zhu Yao's watch.
Zhu Yao felt that the questions she asked were more valuable than the previous ones, or in other words, they hit the other party's soft spot more.
Liu Yu laughed. If this were a fight, she would have probably lost, so her tense body gradually relaxed and she said softly, "Because I don't have time."
Zhu Yao frowned. What do you mean no time? Liu Yu is dying?
Liu Yu's fingertips gently touched the coffee cup, and Zhu Yao noticed her movement. Liu Yu was Mrs. Lu, and after etiquette training, she was very particular about her gestures. This question triggered many small movements in her, which seemed to make her uneasy or difficult to speak.
"It's almost time for me to have a baby." Liu Yu said slowly.
For the first time in this long conversation, Zhu Yao didn't know how to ask: What is the right time to have children? Is this time set by humans? Is Liu Yu unable to resist?
Or did it happen naturally? Was Liu Yu already pregnant? So there was no time?
Zhu Yao couldn't help but look at her abdomen, but Liu Yu's body was half covered by the conference table. Zhu Yao glanced over and immediately felt it was very rude, so he stopped the action immediately.
Liu Yu noticed her looking away, but she didn't care. She even put her hand on her abdomen, as if there was really a life forming beneath her flat belly.
"Once I give birth, my abilities will be eroded and I will gradually die."
Her tone was very gentle, as if she was talking about other people, or their common fate, and she was no different.
Zhu Yao tightened her grip on the coffee cup; she understood what the so-called side effects were.
The new humans represented by Liu Yu will definitely lose themselves in the process of inheritance.
Just as utopia takes on the function of a womb, people like Liu Yu, who have utopian blood flowing in their bodies, cannot escape this mission either.
Looking back at the pollution logic of Utopia, it gradually became clear, and it also answered the question that Zhu Yao didn’t understand: was the woman who was “transformed” by Utopia really saved?
From another perspective, does this mean that they are polluted?
It just no longer looks deformed in appearance, and seems to have gained some benefits from a human perspective, such as powerful superpowers.
But from the perspective of pollutants, they don't care about appearance at all and do not have human concepts of beauty and ugliness.
Pollutants all have a basic tendency, which is to find ways to pollute others. The pollutant underground in Utopia probably chose the right human beings to spread its pollution.
Utopia makes them stronger, but the total amount of energy does not change. During pregnancy, her abilities are being eroded and decomposed. As the number of pregnancies increases, Liu Yu will gradually become as weak as an ordinary person.
No, it might be worse than that of ordinary people. Back then, the superpowers were overdrawn, and the backlash was extremely painful.
She will be gradually...eaten by her own children.
And it is being eaten in the physical sense, without any resistance.
Liu Yu did not reveal how it would work specifically. Zhu Yao guessed that the most outstanding child born to Liu Yu would inherit all her advantages and gain the same abilities as Liu Yu. Correspondingly, the more the child gained, the more of Liu Yu would be eaten up.
How will Liu Yu view her child then? As the child grows stronger and stronger, while she grows weaker, will she feel that you are a part of me? You have my blood and flesh, and I am reborn in your body?
They will become the most complicated mother and daughter in the world. There will be love, but there should also be a little hatred.
There must be a little hatred to make sense, because mental pain is difficult to control. Even if you make every effort and brainwash yourself into loving her day after day, it won't work. This is not something that can be resisted by just the word love.
People who have never obtained superpowers will not understand such a world, but it is the most cruel to have obtained them and then lose them.
The world seen by people with special abilities is completely different from that seen by ordinary people. They are another species, and they need extremely strong empathy to understand ordinary humans.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the relationship between God and ants, it is completely fine to compare it to a pack of wolves and a flock of sheep. This is why the Federation has introduced relevant policies. People with special abilities can only be sixth-class citizens. The Kingdom of God has even created a "collar" to restrain special abilities.
Liu Yu wore a pearl necklace on her elegant swan neck, which was luxurious and beautiful, but there was an invisible shackle that was buckled around her neck.
Liu Yu understood the direction of her own destiny, probably because she had seen it in her mother.
Liu Yu's affair with the CCP may be a mission, an interest, a strong yearning for the outside world, or a desire to find another possibility for her life outside the CCP.
She absolutely wanted to go to Utopia again and see the source of her mission, like a private pilgrimage, a journey that belonged only to her.
There is an invisible countdown in Liu Yu's life. The hourglass is already ticking down little by little. She cannot pretend not to see it. Her life planning must be based on this countdown.
Therefore, if Liu Yu has anything to do, he must do it immediately before this, while he still has the ability, otherwise it will be too late.
Zhu Yao could understand and didn't ask any more questions. This step was enough. After all, it was just a conversation, not a battle, and there was no such thing as winning or losing.
Zhu Yao stood up, extended a hand to Liu Yu, and said respectfully, "I have no questions. It's a pleasure to work with you."
Liu Yu did not shake the hand, but asked: "Because you sympathize with me?"
Because you felt sorry for her? Because you thought she was dying?
But that is understandable. Liu Yu often uses this method to achieve her goals, and showing weakness is usually very useful.
"No," Zhu Yao said, "For the truth of the world."
Zhu Yao is a researcher. In her eyes, there is not much difference between humans and pollutants. Liu Yu is not a high-value new human. Beauty or ugliness is not important, and whether she can give birth to life is not important. She is just a life.
Zhu Yao's gaze was extremely calm, which made people feel safe. Or rather, Liu Yu saw equality and respect in her eyes, which was very rare.
Throughout Liu Yu's life, she was mostly looked down upon or looked up to, and was rarely looked at straight on.
So Liu Yu held her hand in return.
The author has something to say:
I'm back! I've been through so much trouble. It's so easy to get a fever after testing positive. Everyone should really pay attention to protection and wear a mask when going to crowded places! To make it up to everyone, I won't be taking a break tomorrow. See you tomorrow~
