Pep felt that her head was dizzy. She felt that her eyes were both red and black. She instinctively felt that her father was not right, but she could not tell what the problem was. She was still a kind and innocent girl after all, and she always thought that "kindness" and "innocence" could solve all the problems in the universe.
"B — Nonsense!"
She was trembling all over, and there was a sour feeling in the depths of her nose. She kept telling herself in her heart that she must not cry. She had grown up and was no longer that little girl who cried for no reason. She had to protect Shanuya, and if she wanted to protect Shanuya, she could not cry. "These are all Dad's guesses. It's you adults who are too suspicious. I won't let Shanuya become a monster, I promise!"
"Promise? What promise do you have? "
Her father's voice was even colder. "Compared to human beings, it is a monster in the first place. It is a … devil. Everything we can do is to delay the time when it reveals its nature as much as possible. But eventually, however hard you work and however reluctant you are, the day will eventually come.
"Don't rush to refute. Think carefully. Look at the files. The top confidential files are all about the catastrophes that the Void Hunters caused in the past. Open your eyes and face the reality, my daughter!"
Her father clicked on the light beam and displayed the comprehensive images and data of dozens of catastrophes to Pep.
Pep could not use words to describe what he saw, nor could he use pen and ink to describe his feelings at the moment.
In some of the pictures, the scraps of the tentacles of the Void Hunters were mixed with the debris of starships, turning into a cemetery that drifted eternally in the sea of stars.
In some of the pictures, the infuriated Void Hunters were truly devils from the four-dimensional space that human beings could not understand. Waving their tentacles that were tens of thousands of kilometers long, they minced the ripples of destruction in the three-dimensional universe.
In some of the images, there were also a series of cold numbers and rows of pale names. Those names were like waterfalls of the Nether River, flowing silently as if they would never end.
"Since the moment human beings encountered the Void Hunters at the very beginning, the behemoths beyond our understanding had always existed in the form of 'gods and devils'. Yes, they could protect us from 90% of the catastrophes in the universe and expand our cruising range by thousands of times. But at the same time, they became our most terrible memory and could bring catastrophes that could kill billions of people at any moment."
Her father said, "Yes, my dear daughter. You must tell me that those Void Hunters did it unintentionally. They did not understand the concept of 'life and death' as a life form like us at all. They did not know how much damage they caused to us, and they did not know what terrible catastrophes they could bring with their slight cramps and trembles!
"However, on second thought, isn't that the scariest part of all?
"The 'unintentional' actions of the Void Hunter could cause the deaths of billions of humans. If there comes a day when it suddenly awakens a certain self that we cannot understand, if it suddenly decides to 'consciously' do certain things, if it suddenly decides to become the true 'Shanuya', what should we do then? What should we do? "
Pep Pep
She suddenly felt that the way her father bared his fangs and brandished his claws was very similar to the wild Void Hunters in the light beam.
She was scared.
But she did not know whether she was more scared of her father or the Void Hunters who had gone out of control.
"You're very kind, Pep. That's not a bad thing. In today's dark universe, 'kindness' has become a very rare quality, like the most brilliant gemstone. I hope that you can be kind forever."
His father saw the fear on Pep's face, and his expression became a little conflicted and sad. He smiled bitterly and said, "But I still hope that you can understand that what we are discussing now has nothing to do with 'kindness.' A person with a gun and a person without a gun can never be friends. No matter how kind the person with a gun is, no matter how much he promises that he will never use his gun, it will be useless, especially when there is only a steamed bun in front of the two of them.
"To maintain their friendship, both of them have guns, or neither of them have guns. Do you understand what I mean?"
"No." Pep Pep shook her head.
"Dad and brother both like to play with weapons, but I just don't understand. Why do we need guns? There are not many alien species in the sea of stars that we need guns to kill. "
"Silly child, guns weren't invented to kill non-humankind beings."
Her father smiled and said, "Forget it. If you can't figure out these complicated and difficult things, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, we don't really want to kill Shanuya. We just want to help it be reborn. You should know best that the life form of a Void Hunter is very strange. From a certain perspective, it is' immortal '. Even if we use artificial intervention to help it' explode ', its tentacles will still survive and become a new generation of Shanuya.
"When the time comes, perhaps you can even become the new Shanuya's dream creator and tell it all the stories."
Pep frowned and thought for a long time.
Then, the girl shook her head.
"No."
She said seriously, "After 'exploding', the tentacles will lose their past memories and consciousness and turn into a muddle-headed embryo. Even if they grow up again one day, they will not be the current Shanuya."
"They are all Shanuya."
Her father said, "What's the difference?"
"There is."
Pep said, "The other Shanuyas are not 'my Shanuya'. Even if there are many Void Hunters named Shanuya, only one of them is' Prince Shanuya '."
"It seems like you and your 'Prince Shanuya' have a deep relationship."
Her father narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Or perhaps, our 'Prince Shanuya' has secretly developed an incredible neural network and controlled an extremely powerful spiritual power that can interfere with a human's will!"
"No!"
Pep said anxiously. "Everything I said was from the bottom of my heart. It has nothing to do with Shanuya!"
"We will figure this out. Now, go and rest."
Her father pondered and said, "Wait, I've changed my mind. Pep, you should go to the hospital and rest for two days. Let the other dream creators handle the rest — Lei Qi?"
Her brother appeared behind Pep and pressed down on her shoulder. The girl had never felt her brother's armor so cold.
"No —"
Pep's eyes widened. "You can't do this!"
"Send your sister to the hospital and let her stay there. Get the Meditation Healer to examine her little head."
