Chapter 775
Chapter 775
Lin Yu suddenly understood when "she was not simply confused by Dr. Yuan, but was using his power to eliminate those studies that she considered 'dangerous'."
It's like using an extreme scalpel to remove lesions in the body, even if it hurts innocent people.
"Dr. Original is just going with the flow." Black Tower's eyes flashed coldly, "He needs someone to help him collect the consciousness data of geniuses, and Kakamu's 'Knowledge Purification Theory' just provides a perfect excuse. One thinks he is eliminating risks, and the other is secretly reaping the benefits."
Esta's voice dropped. "Then...what about those truly innocent geniuses? For example, that 7-Bai Huan, his research was clearly just a record..."
"In her logic, 'may cause danger' is equal to 'danger'." Heita closed the report with a sigh.
Heita didn't expect that Kakamu had such a past.
"I only knew that she left the Institute of Knowledge because of an accident, but I didn't know the details."
"It seems that the accident made her a frightened bird, and Dr. Original just handed her a sharper knife in her fear."
Esta leaned closer to the screen, looked at the back of the person on the screen, and suddenly said, "It's like... like someone fell down and never dared to walk again?"
"It's worse than that."
"When she fell, she killed someone next to her."
"So every step I took afterwards was very cautious, even at the cost of destruction to prevent repeating the same mistakes."
"Wait, it's detected that the energy fluctuations at the confinement compartment node are abnormal... Kakamu's vital signs... are declining." Screw Gum said, pushing the screen.
"She is forcibly increasing the node energy output!" Black Tower slammed the control console, "What a lunatic! She will be completely assimilated!"
"I'll go help her!" Lin Yu said, preparing to go down the elevator.
"Stop him!" As soon as Heita's voice fell, Screw Gumm had already blocked Lin Yu.
Lin Yu couldn't move at all.
The Black Tower brought up the energy synchronization progress bar, 90%, just one step left.
"Lin Yu! If you go there now, we will both perish together! Don't feel any sympathy!"
At this moment, the green dot on the screen suddenly stabilized and the node energy bar was instantly filled up.
A beam of light shot up into the sky from the confinement compartment, connecting with the light beams from the main control compartment and the base compartment to form a triangle, enveloping the entire space station.
"Synchronization successful!" Estelle exclaimed.
The staff in various compartments saw this scene through the observation windows and all showed shocked expressions.
Some people rubbed their eyes, thinking it was an hallucination caused by the radiation, while others held up their communicators and cheered wildly, throwing the tools in their hands into the air.
They may not know who made the final shot in the penalty area, but they all understand what this light means.
The scene in the black tower switched, and the figure of Dr. Original was struggling painfully in the triangular light net. The purple energy belts around his body were like a lit fuse, breaking into ashes bit by bit.
His connection with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was completely severed, and his body made of mechanical skeletons made a harsh cracking sound in the light. The chaos equations that he was so proud of now became shackles that backfired on him.
"It's over..." Heita whispered.
Lin Yu suddenly broke free from Screw Gumm's restraints and rushed towards the elevator.
This time, no one stopped him.
The moment the elevator slid open, purple mist rushed towards us, carrying a pungent fishy smell.
Lin Yu rushed in and saw Kakamu half-kneeling in front of the node console. His skin was dyed dark purple by the radiation. His right hand was pressing on the panel, and his skin was turning into bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Come to pick you up."
"I am a sinner with human lives on my hands. I don't deserve your sympathy at all."
She suddenly raised her left hand, "Besides, aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?" Energy spun in her palm, reflecting Lin Yu's fearless face, "Aren't you afraid that what I just did was just acting? After all, the title of 'Lord of Silence' is not earned by being merciful."
"I believe you." Lin Yu said, and stretched out his hand to her.
"Believe me? Haha... you're just an idiot."
The energy vortex in her palm suddenly expanded, and it rushed straight to Lin Yu's face with a fierce murderous intent.
However, just inches away from his throat, the vortex suddenly dissipated and turned into purple light particles, which were gently wrapped and dissolved by the chains.
She looked at her uncontrollable left hand, and there was still numbness between the knuckles.
She was used to wrapping herself in murderous intent, but she was completely defeated by the word "believe".
Lin Yu's hand still stopped in mid-air. "You know better than anyone that absolute perfection is the biggest mistake."
Kaka turned his head away, not looking into his eyes, but his voice softened, "My hand...my hand is numb, help me."
...
The blue light of the medical cabin shone on Kakamu's face. She had just finished radiation purification treatment. The cuffs of her dress were rolled up to her forearms, revealing a patch of skin with faint marks.
Heita walked in with a pile of files and put one of them on the bedside table. The words "Yiwenmo Interview Record" on the cover were particularly eye-catching.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" Heita asked.
"What do you want to know?" Kakam leaned against the head of the bed, with two buttons undone on the collar of his dress, revealing his collarbone.
She twirled her falling hair with her fingertips, her pupils reflecting the rotating projection pattern on the top of the medical cabin.
"I haven't recovered yet and you're so anxious."
She suddenly chuckled, the ending of her voice was hoarse from just waking up, "Are you trying to kill me while I'm sick?" Kakamu raised her head, staring straight at the black tower, the mockery in her tone was like the cold light of a knife, but without the murderous intent of the past.
"Don't want to say it?" Heita frowned and tapped a rapid rhythm on the cover of the file with his fingertips.
She never thought that there would be a day when she could confront the "Lord of Silence" so calmly.
The target she had been pursuing for a long time was now sitting there, like a statue that had finally lost its edge.
"How could that be?" Kakamu smiled. This smile was very faint, but it softened the coldness in the corners of her eyes. "After all, 83's curiosity is well-known in the club."
She raised her hand to signal the Black Tower to continue, and the instrument on her wrist made a soft beeping sound.
"First question." Heita focused his gaze on Kakamu's face, "What did you talk about with Yiwenmo? Qianlouzhong was crazy when he turned himself in. He only said that your conversation made him feel that 'all his memories have become shackles'."
Kakamu picked up the water cup next to him and gently drew circles on the wall of the cup with his fingertips. "It asked me, 'If Boshizun's calculations include your own death time, will you end your life in advance?'"
She paused, put the glass back in its place, and said, "I answered, 'Calculation is destiny'."
"Then the second question is, why did you destroy your own portrait? The sculptor said that your statue was originally the centerpiece of the 'Keeper of Knowledge' series."
"Because portraits can lie." Kaka's gaze fell on the observation window of the medical cabin, where her current appearance was reflected.
There are red bloodshot eyes and fatigue at the corners of his mouth, but he is more vivid than any perfect sculpture.
"They only leave what others want to see, and I need to always remember who I am." She raised her wrist to show the faint mark, "including these scars."
"The last one." Heita turned to the thickest page of the file, on which was the death report of 27. "Why did you sign his peace agreement when you assassinated Rupert? That does not meet the definition of 'end'."
Kakamu paused for a moment, and spoke after a long while, "Before he died, he said, 'The end of the war should not be silence, but a new beginning.'"
"In the calculation, 'end' already includes the variable 'rebirth'. I missed it before."
"By the way, what was your reason for voting against Elijah Salas? The Society's files only state 'knowledge should not have a king'."
"Wasn't that the last question?"
"Then this one counts as the last one." Heita said, pushing the voting record in front of her, his tone full of unquestionable insistence.
Kakamu smiled, and this time the smile was much more genuine.
"Because he wanted to install a 'switch'."
"When he said he wanted to 'purify the knowledge system', he actually wanted to lock up all the research that didn't conform to his ideas and only keep the 'correct answers' that he approved of."
Her eyes drifted toward the rotating star map projection outside the window, which displayed countless unexplored galaxies.
“It’s like someone wanted to put a dimmer on the starry sky, allowing only certain stars to light up.
But he forgot that some stars may look dim, but they are lighthouses guiding ships.
Some stars may look bright, but they may be black holes that swallow everything. "Kakamu's voice became softer, "And I know that once some lights are forcibly turned off, they will never shine again, just like those scholars who were swallowed up. Their research is still waiting to be seen in the darkness until today. "
Heita put away the files silently, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the hatch. "ScrewGum is sorting out old data and said that one of the records is missing the last page. It's just right for you to complete it."
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to destroy the evidence?" Kakamu asked loudly.
"up to you."
