"Perhaps there are other changes that have led to the world's..." The little cat's voice became quieter. She knew that this reason could not even convince herself.
"Do you think that the change of time stagnating due to your serious injury can change the whole world?" The boy ruthlessly shattered the little cat's last fantasy. "Accept the reality! Because of your selfless rescue, Xu Yuncheng, the top anti-human superpower who controls both time and space, survived. So now, hundreds of years later, he finally found an opportunity to form an alliance with the parasitic beast that just began to devour the human world. So, our world has become worse."
The little cat leaned against the metal wall dejectedly, buried his face in his trembling hands for a long time. When she raised her head again, there was only a dead silence in her eyes. It was obvious that she had completely believed the fact that Xu Yuncheng had betrayed her.
If the girl's self-mockery just now was just a sign of indifference to the world, the kitten now looked like she was about to fall. Xiao Yi felt that if she was left alone somewhere, she might slit her wrists and commit suicide.
The black-haired boy: "Little cat, the fact I want you to accept is Xu Yuncheng's betrayal. It is not your ability to predict the future that caused all this. It is him who betrayed, not you, and there is nothing wrong with saving people."
The little cat laughed, and tears flowed down her cheeks into the strands of hair on her face: "What's the difference! Ever since I can remember, my ability to predict the future has brought countless disasters. Maybe my parents are right. If I had died as a child, this world might be a much better place!"
The boy just looked at her quietly and didn't say anything to comfort her.
The kitten did not expect the boy's sympathy, but just vented his anger to himself: "The written prophecy I made will eventually happen no matter what changes people make. I just announced the bad news in advance! What could be more painful than knowing that there is an abyss ahead and still walking towards it step by step!"
"Are you talking about the prophecy like 'Happy Planet will be completely destroyed on August 4, 12036'?" This time the boy interrupted the kitten, "I think it's good, at least it gives me, as a tasker, a reason to feel at ease: Happy Planet will be destroyed on that day anyway, and this is an irreversible decision of the future. Anyway, it's not my fault that the planet was destroyed because I didn't discover the abnormality in time." The boy said righteously.
The kitten was so choked by this 'novel' way of using prophecy to shirk responsibility that she paused for a moment. It took her a full minute to clear the boy's twisted logic from her mind, and she continued:
"As for my second ability of prediction, you have already seen the effect of foreseeing future pictures. As long as I try to change, or leak even a little bit of the content of the picture, causing the future trajectory to change, something more terrible will surely happen!
I realized this when I was very young, and I secretly warned myself many times not to tell anyone! But I could never do it! At the beginning, my parents were very concerned about my... I only had the ability to hate it until I saw a scene of a town on fire when I was twelve years old. I cried and called my whole family to wake up. My parents finally believed me and the whole family drove away overnight...
I lost my brother and sister in the car accident that night, and the town was just an unmanned warehouse on fire. Even if we didn't run away, our family would not be in danger. "The little cat smiled with a crying voice.
Black-haired boy: "Did the main system find you later?"
"Yes, I had just escaped from the mental hospital for the third time and was hanging out with gangsters on the street." The little cat obviously didn't want to say much, but it was self-evident who put her in the mental hospital. "Then I met Xu Yuncheng from the Savior Alliance. Everything was so perfect, and it was completely opposite to this damn me! For hundreds of years, I thought that saving Xu Yuncheng's life was the only right thing I did! But in reality..."
The little cat leaned her forehead against the cold metal wall and laughed desperately.
Black-haired boy: "Actually, I have a different opinion about your vision. You once foresaw me slaughtering humans with black silk, and then told it to the main system, but the main system did not kill me directly, but included me in the Savior Alliance. In the end, it was discovered that the vision you predicted was just an image of me slaughtering parasites on the Happy Planet, right?"
Kitten: "So what? It was my ability that almost killed you, and even almost provoked a war between aliens and humans."
Black-haired boy: "But if you hadn't told the main system about this vision, and the main system hadn't pulled me into the Savior Alliance, and I had been hunted by humans after killing hundreds of people on the Weyland spaceship, then maybe the scene you saw was really me slaughtering humans."
Kitty: "But the scene I foresaw can't be changed into a better future..."
Black-haired boy: "You and the main system didn't try to stop the predicted scene from happening, you just did it for that scene. It has created a better interpretation direction. It has turned the original slaughter of humans into a slaughter of parasites. You have indeed saved the lives of tens of millions of people, even my life trajectory."
Kitty: "This, this..."
Black-haired boy: "Is there anything impossible? The same prophetic picture contains more than just one future. You can't tell what the 'humans' who are being slaughtered are in such a general clip. "
Kitty: "You like people so much. Humans, you can’t decide to destroy the world at that time!"
The black-haired boy: "I really hadn’t made up my mind when I was wandering in the universe, but I’m not sure if I’m beaten by the Star Alliance and Weyland Corporation a few more times. But killing all the humans on a planet and then becoming the king is indeed one of my plans."
After countless ups and downs in a day, the kitten finally found a glimmer of hope. She didn’t want to believe that Xiaoyi was a bloodthirsty monster, but she couldn’t help selfishly hoping that this was true! After bringing so many disasters to the world, he finally played a little positive role...
Just as the little cat was thinking about life, Huo Li's voice came into the boy's mind: "Xiao Yi, is what you just said true?"
"How should I know!" The boy responded with his consciousness unhappily, "She just cried for 20 minutes before I found such a point of advice, of course I said it without thinking! But this is indeed a good idea. If the little cat has a foresight picture in the future, we can try to turn the future to the good side of the multiple interpretations of the picture."
Huo Li heard the boy's evasion, but it didn't matter whether Xiao Yi wanted to destroy the world. The important thing is that he still likes everything about human beings, which is enough.
Huo Li: "What about your previous plan?"
The black-haired boy: "I suspect Xu Yuncheng loves the kitten. Although the cat doesn't even know it, that plan may have failed... I also have a backup plan with a very low success rate. I will only consider it when it is absolutely necessary. I hope I will never have to use it."
Huo Li: "What plan?"
The black-haired boy: "Forget it, the possibility of success is too small. It may not be used at all."
Huo Li was very considerate and did not continue to ask.
Black-haired boy: "How many have you checked out? If we don't take measures, these 2,000+ taskers will riot. Bomb it!"
Huo Li was a little surprised at Xiaoyi's decisiveness, but this cold-blooded method was undoubtedly the most efficient. Huo Li immediately conveyed the order with his mental power.
A few minutes later, the taskers who had just been taken away were escorted back to their respective cells by mechanical warriors. This also included the metal warehouse where Xiaoyi was.
Han Zhe, Hans, Zhang Hu and the man with shawl hair walked in one after another. They all looked unharmed, but they kept a distance from Hans without leaving any trace. Unlike Hans, who was shrewd and reserved when he left the cell, Hans looked a little dazed.
After listening to the main system's explanation of the parasitic beast incident, Han Zhe's heart was already filled with shock and he was now preparing a lot of words to explain the situation they had just encountered when they were taken away.
As soon as he entered the room, Han Zhe said loudly: "We are actually..." Then he realized that the two people left in the cell did not immediately surround him and ask questions as Han Zhe expected. Han Zhe could only shut up in embarrassment.
The eyes of the non-mainstream girl who was originally a little cynical were swollen like peaches from crying, and she still sheds a tear from time to time.
The boy who seemed kind at first was sitting coldly in the cell, thinking about something. He exuded a cold aura that kept people away.
For a moment, Han Zhe imagined a variety of love-hate dramas between the two.
The situation in other cells was completely different. As long as someone was brought back, they would be surrounded by the taskers in the same cell, anxiously asking about the situation. After that, those superpowers who were encouraged by Xu Yuncheng's broadcast to rebel became more fearless when they saw that there were no casualties.
In less than 5 minutes, the small-scale riots swept the entire prison like a prairie fire. The taskers began to use their special powers in various ways to break the door and rescue the neighboring cells. Soon, all the handcuffed taskers escaped and crowded the corridor.
"Beep - all the special powers return to their cells immediately! Otherwise, the handcuffs will explode randomly in 10 seconds!"
Because the radio had been cut off, this notice was shouted in unison by the mechanical warriors who came to support.
"Don't listen to them!" The psychics in the crowd shouted, "All this is caused by the traitors in our group. The mastermind has other ulterior motives for capturing us. He won't kill us at will!"
"Yes! Let's rush out! Let's see what else he has up his sleeve!"
These words undoubtedly expressed the thoughts of most psychics. The crowd became even more violent. All kinds of psychics rained down on the mechanical warriors around them, smashing them into pieces. The taskers were winning one victory after another!
"Ding - the countdown is over!"
While the psychics were still immersed in the joy of victory and had no time to react, there was a loud bang, and dozens of people in the crowd were instantly blown into pieces by the sudden explosion of handcuffs.
In the blood mist, the crowd that was just enthusiastic suddenly became quiet. Several psychics that were accidentally affected by the explosion squatted down with screams.
Just when most people were shocked by the scene and were still staring at the scattered corpses in a daze.
"Beep - all psychics return to your cells immediately! Otherwise, the handcuffs will continue to explode randomly in 5 seconds!" The
inorganic electronic sounds of hundreds of mechanical warriors pulled everyone back to reality, and the psychics swarmed into their cells. The passion that had just rushed to his head had now completely turned into fear of death...
The boy followed the crowd back to the metal warehouse and found that Han Zhe and his companions, who had been hiding their worries since they came back, were unharmed as expected. However, the dazed Hans did not come back, and was undoubtedly killed as a traitor and used as an example.
Then Huo Li's real-time report came to the boy's mind: "The 47 traitors found out through memory reading just now were killed in the explosion, and the 243 innocent people have been informed of the parasitic beast secret by the main system and released back into the crowd. 19 taskers whose positions were unknown were affected by the explosion and all were slightly injured."
"That is to say, according to the current progress, you will need another 3 days to complete the investigation?" The little alien responded with consciousness, "Keep investigating! They should now believe that those handcuffs can really explode. It is not easy to lock up more than 2,000 psychics without this method. But isn't it a bit too conspicuous to say that all those killed were traitors?"
"No, according to the memory I just read, the traitors themselves don't know who their companions are, and the list of traitors is only in Xu Yuncheng's hands." Huo Li said with his mental power.
"That's good," the boy replied, but there was no joy on his face, "I hope Xu Yuncheng will stop resisting..."
Although the handcuffs can move with the hands, the main area is still close to the chest and abdomen, so the required explosion force is not great. Those who were unlucky enough to be affected were only slightly injured.
Of course, this is also related to the actions of the 243 insiders who separated the crowd without leaving any trace.
After the prisoners became obedient, the work of screening the rebels was still going on in a hurry. Every ten minutes, a group of taskers would be taken to the interrogation room by the mechanical warriors. The innocent were told the truth directly by the main system, while the traitors were controlled by Huo Li on the spot.
When more than 2,000 taskers were half checked, the air at the door of each cell was slightly distorted for a moment, and a piece of paper appeared out of thin air in each cell and fell to the ground slowly.
After the boy noticed the slight distortion of space, he secretly said that it was not good! He quickly stood up and snatched the paper on the ground.
It was written on it:
The main system sheltered the alien and allowed it to hide in the Salvation Alliance for unknown purposes. The alien has been transforming into a human to pretend to be a tasker, and its number is zz2d14. The guardian god supernatural power it claimed to the outside world is actually composed of the alien's limbs and black silk. Dear saviors, please use all means to escape and save yourself immediately after knowing the truth!
