Zhang Jue crossed his arms and his eyes flickered. He looked like a little girl who had been bullied. He looked very pitiful.
Seeing him like this, Yang Wensong put his hand to his forehead and felt a little helpless.
"Mr. Zhang, I think you misunderstood," he said. "I just want you to do me a favor and enter Xue 'er's consciousness."
"Ah, so that's how it is. You should have said so earlier. I thought you wanted me to sacrifice myself. What a pity —"
"What?"
"Oh, it's okay. I said you don't need me to sacrifice myself. That's great. Old Yang, we were discussing how to completely eliminate 3125 and remove its threat to mankind. Will it be useful for me to enter Yang Xue's consciousness?"
"It will be useful." Yang Wensong nodded. "3125 is different from ordinary enemies. It is a complex of concepts, a metaphysical idea. If you want to defeat it, ordinary methods won't work. I found a weakness in the process of fighting 3125. When it erodes a person's mind, it is actually nibbling away at it bit by bit. As long as the person who is being eroded has a strong enough will, they can defeat it on their own level. "
Yang Wensong said it as if it was very simple. Zhang Jue looked at him. "And then?"
"Do you know how my consciousness came out of my body?"
"I don't know. Does it matter?"
"It does. My consciousness borrowed a machine that materializes ideas — we call it a concept precipitator. That's why it has a partial physical body. It's the same principle. After 3125 was defeated by Xue 'er, it would be expelled from Xue' er's body. We just need to seize the opportunity and materialize it. Then we can eliminate it through conventional methods. "
"A concept precipitator?"
Zhang Jue rubbed his chin.
It turned out that the Antimeme Department had actually developed such a thing. It was really amazing.
This machine could materialize some concepts. It could be called a divine weapon to deal with invisible and intangible things like 3125.
But there was still a very important question.
Zhang Jue frowned. "Since you have already developed such a thing, why did you still fail in the end?"
"The reason is simple." Yang Wensong sighed. "No one can defeat 3125 ideologically. All the test subjects have been corrupted by it. I — am probably the only one who has successfully escaped. But escaping is useless. We need to defeat it."
"Heh." Zhang Jue laughed. "Since everyone, including you, has failed, why do you think I can help Yang Xue?"
After Zhang Jue finished speaking, Yang Wensong suddenly fell silent.
After a while, he turned around and looked at Zhang Jue solemnly.
"Mr. Zhang, I can feel that you're different from everyone I've ever met. Forgive me for being blunt, but you don't seem to be … a normal human being. When I'm acting on my consciousness, I can feel a huge amount of energy radiating from you. It's even more dazzling than the sun. 3125 is very ferocious. Xue 'er alone, or any normal person, can't resist its corruption. But you can. At least, she can only succeed with your help. I can see that she trusts you a lot. I can't do this, no one can. Only you can. "
Yang Wensong's expression was calm. He looked at Zhang Jue and said word by word.
His tone was calm, as if he was just stating facts.
But it was also this demeanor that made it impossible to refuse.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Jue smacked his lips.
"Old Yang, you've been talking for so long. It seems like you're flattering me, but it's not completely true. Why do I feel like you've dug a hole for me?"
Yang Wensong said, "I'm just stating facts because we have no other way."
Zhang Jue met his gaze and said, "What if we fail?"
Yang Wensong smiled helplessly.
"If we fail this time, the entire human society will be infected by 3125 in three years or even less. By then, although the appearance of humans will not change at all, in fact, human civilization will have completely perished. Everyone will live under 3125's control and become puppets."
Yang Wensong said it tactfully.
But Zhang Jue understood what he meant.
In other words, the entire human race was behind this battle. They had no way out.
If they failed, what awaited them would be the end of the world.
