Inside the altar, the scrolls surrounded the 3 humans and 1 cat. It was similar to the setup when Gu Jun and Yu Chi communicated with the mysterious signal.
Gu Jun's attention was focused on the quarantine room at Phecda World. Wang Ruoxiang, who was conversing with the Yith, was startled but so was Gu Jun himself.
'Bicuspid? '
Wang Ruoxiang was startled.
She did not expect the patient who claimed to be from the Yith would say something like that.
Of course, she knew what the twin-coiled fluke was and what the snail and the bird represented. The snail was the first intermediate host and the bird was the second intermediate host. The twin-coiled fluke would grow and reproduce in the snail's body and the bird would carry the eggs away to the next batch of snails to complete a life cycle.
But … since the Yith used this metaphor, it implied that the Yith would not help the snail to expel the parasites from its body.
At the command central's secret communication room, Tong Ye, Yao Sinian and the rest listened to the technical staff with confusion.
"You mean?" Wang Ruoxiang looked at the calm middle-aged man in bed, "The Yith will not help us stop this disaster?"
"Unfortunately, the situation is not that simple." Teacher Fan said, "Like I said earlier, the war between the Yith and the flying polypus hydroids will lead to a failed future. The first reason is that we are unable to break the structure of the flying polypus hydroids' consciousness but the second reason is that we cannot defeat the existence that supports the flying polypus hydroids, the Locust God. That is the existence that the Flying Locust and Locust Sickness believe in. "
Wang Ruoxiang's brows were already tightly knitted together. However, her heart was feeling downcast, and it continued to fall.
She was inclined to believe the patient's explanation, she believed in the existence of the Yith.
But even such a powerful race, a race that possessed technology that transcended time and consciousness exchange, they could not defeat the Locust God?
This sense of disappointment and confusion spread through the secret communication room. Just a moment ago, they were still excited. They thought the Yith would be able to help them turn the tables.
"Did you just say that we are friends?" Wang Ruoxiang asked in a muffled voice.
The few Ancient Seal members behind her were on high alert. Was this man possessed by a cultist just to toy with them …?
"We're friends," Teacher Fan said. "I understand your confusion, but please hear me out. In the original future, the Yith would be defeated by the flying polypus hydroids but it was the Locust Sickness that destroyed the Yith. In the later stages of this disease, not only would the victim's body turn into a parasite, even their consciousness would be unable to escape. They would be influenced to become the worshippers of the Locust God. Therefore, the consciousness has to leave as soon as possible. Once the parasites start to grow in the head, there's nothing we can do. "
As Wang Ruoxiang listened, she thought about the patients' symptoms of madness and that sentence …
When the storm arrives, the flies should follow the wind. When the stagnant water arrives, the mayflies should follow the stream.
"So we escaped further into the future. But space-time is a very complicated thing. This kind of escape comes with a price. We've lost our true freedom because we owe a debt to space-time and we owe a sacrifice to the Locust God, that is ourselves.
"We need to hide our location in space-time to escape from the Locust God's attention; but we also need to pay the debt and the sacrifice or else the Locust God will turn its attention to us. It knows everything, it just doesn't pay attention to us. "
Whenever the name 'Locust God' was mentioned, the Yith's tone would become more complicated.
It was not admiration or fanaticism but it was not hatred or fear either.
The complexity reminded Wang Ruoxiang of how she felt when she was faced with a difficult question on her exam paper. She was trapped by the problem but at the same time, she wanted to solve it.
The Yith owed the sacrifice, so …
"So we became the second host of the Locust Sickness. We will come to take the genetic information of the Locust Sickness away."
Teacher Fan's voice was as calm as ever. "We will not copy or store this information, that will expose us.
In that distant future, we will maintain the lifestyle of our species. We will use our technology to travel to other civilizations in different space-time. We will observe and record the civilization and bury the genetic information of the Locust Sickness underground.
That way, our mission as birds will be completed. At some point, a time that even we cannot explain, the locust will rise from the ground.
What you are experiencing now is the overlapping of 4 different dimensions but this is not something the Yith started and it is not something the Yith can change or participate in. But it is because of this that the Locust Sickness has arrived and the Locust God is interested in this place. "
"And now," Teacher Fan said like he was talking about something that could not be changed, "The end of human civilization is near."
Inside the space of the altar, Gu Jun fell into a daze, and his face darkened.
Almost the same thing happened inside a sickroom at the Mysterium World. Yu Chi scratched his head and mumbled in anguish, "The Yith are the spreaders? It was the Yith who spread the Locust Sickness to other space-time so that the Locust God could consume other civilizations. That's why it doesn't care about the Yith … The Yith are the spreaders … Is it us, is it us who responded to the signal and brought the plague, ah … "
These thoughts crossed Gu Jun's mind. The Yith were the accomplices. This race that worshipped science and rationality pushed the fact of extinction onto others to prevent extinction.
Keziah Mason's expression was shifting. Wu Siyu was still waving her paws to maintain the panoramic view.
"Then, we are enemies …" Inside the sickroom, Wang Ruoxiang asked angrily, "How can we be friends?"
"No, we are friends but we cannot change your fate." Teacher Fan said, "The problem is not the flying polypus hydroids, the problem is the Locust God.
Doctor Wang, our race is more immature than a baby in space but the Locust God is not.
In the distant future, it is not as if we had not divined how to help you avoid destruction, but as with every civilization that had been destroyed, we could only ascertain that every method would lead to failure no matter how we transcend time and space.
The human civilization will be destroyed. If the Yith tries to change, it will expose its location and bring disaster upon itself.
Doctor Wang, rationality tells us what to do and rationality tells you what to do. "
"What to do?" Wang Ruoxiang gritted her teeth, almost wanting to chop it with her karate. "Are you going to sit and wait for death?"
"Not really." Teacher Fan said, "Some of you can join us and become the Yith."
Its words caused everyone to be stunned once again.
"The Yith does not have a physical body but a consciousness lifeform. If you don't understand it, you can think of it as a bunch of data. Feeding this data into the spores is the Yith. Feeding this data into the human body is also the Yith.
The Yith is not a single biological race, it is a combination of many original races. The Yith does not care about physical bodies.
We do not have the physical bodies of our ancestors, we are all the Yith.
Therefore, we can exchange some of your consciousness into the future and convert it into data to unlock the shackles of physical bodies. That will give you the same consciousness as us. As for who it is, we will be the one to choose, we have already chosen.
That way, human civilization will cease to exist but human civilization will exist in a different form. Humans will become part of the Yith.
With the addition of humans, the Yith's mind will expand. We will share our rationality, our knowledge and technology. We will search for higher intelligence and unlock the secrets of this universe. Our race is a great race.
At a certain point, the Yith will be able to find a way to fight against the Locust God and solve the Locust Sickness and other diseases.
Doctor Wang, this is our sincere suggestion. We are friends because we are friends. "
When Teacher Fan finished, the quarantine room was silent. The members of the Ancient Seal Department wanted to say something but their hearts chilled.
Wang Ruoxiang's ears buzzed. The Yith had given them a blueprint, a way to preserve humanity's seed …
Her mind was in a mess. When she heard the order from the command central, she asked, "What is the specific plan you mentioned?"
There were 7.6 billion people on Earth.
Or rather, this was the population of the Phecda World. If the Mysterium World was included, the number would double.
"If possible, we are willing to save all of you." Teacher Fan added, "But time travel has its limits and rules. That will not only attract the attention of the Locust God, it will also lead to other consequences. Besides, Doctor Wang, the other reason why I'm very sorry is that I need sacrifices for this matter.
Furthermore, not every human body could come into contact with the Yith so easily, not every consciousness could be transferred to the future so easily. Even if they were transferred to the future, not every consciousness could be converted into a data stream and not every consciousness could contribute to the Yith.
Therefore, we have to choose the most suitable sacrifice. For example, you, Doctor Wang, you are one of us on the list.
Many people from Phecda are on the list. There are also some outstanding people from different fields and people with wisdom.
Doctor Wang, you might ask the billions of people around the world, do the Yith have enough understanding of this? How do we know we have made the right choice? We have the technology to scan this but of course it is not 100% perfect, we still do not have that kind of intelligence.
But we will try our best to make the selection in your world. The number on the list is 50,000 people, this is already at the edge of attracting attention.
50,000 people will become the Yith, then you will understand what we are saying. "
Teacher Fan finished. Wang Ruoxiang asked, "Is Gu Jun on the list?"
This was her question and also the command central's question. "Where is Gu Jun now?"
They still had a hero, a hero who had solved multiple disasters …
"Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu, Yu Chi." Teacher Fan answered, "They are related to the Yith but also not related to the Yith, we will not participate."
Wang Ruoxiang narrowed her eyes. The Yith was indirectly answering the question … Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu were not on the list, why? Where were they?
"Time is running out, we only have 15 minutes left." Teacher Fan said, "Doctor Wang, we are here to bring back information about the Locust Sickness and also to make an announcement. In this kind of event, we will only participate once, we will not return to the past to repeat it.
Please believe us, if the Yith is willing, even the most elite among you will be forced to exchange their consciousness but that is not the method we want. "
"Then what about the future of this conversation?" Wang Ruoxiang asked, "Did you not see our answer?"
Teacher Fan continued calmly, "Any time that is related to the Locust Sickness, we will remain in a state of fog for a period of time. All of us will remain in a state of fog for a period of time. This will affect our deductions, but if we get too close to the existence known as God, the result will be even worse. We know you will be destroyed but we do not know the details of your destruction. "
At the command central's secret communication room, Tong Ye and the rest were silent.
Until Yao Sinian said, "This might be the enemy trying to lower our morale …"
Tong Ye who was usually talkative was silent. Perhaps he was affected by the mind implant, his understanding of the Yith started to surface.
"Now, please take note and inform the others." Teacher Fan said, "One minute later, we will perform a mind implant on all 50,000 people on the list. We will send you the images of the past civilizations destroyed by the Locust Sickness.
Our goal is for you to see the current situation clearly. It is something humanity cannot fight against, we hope you can make a rational choice. "
Wang Ruoxiang frowned when she heard this. The Yith could hack into the brains of 50,000 elites?
"Warning, warning!" The urgent warning from the command central rang in her ears, "Be on high alert, prepare to defend against mind invasion!"
She and her colleagues from the Ancient Seal Department quickly retreated from the sickroom. They entered the corridor and closed the door.
Wang Ruoxiang's heart hung in her throat. Her nerves were taut as she scanned her surroundings. She focused on defending against the invisible threat …
The warning also rang at the same time for The One, Mo Bei's Phecda elites and higher-ups and some important figures in this country. Phecda had no idea who the 50,000 people in the world were and there was no time for them to send out more warnings …
One minute passed in the blink of an eye, not one second more, not one second less.
Suddenly, Wang Ruoxiang's head swelled with pain. It felt like she was pulled into a whirlpool or a whirlpool was shoved into her brain.
She couldn't do anything at all. She suddenly cried out in pain. Countless scenes flashed before her eyes and in her mind. All of them were scenes of destruction.
