: Both Ends of the Balance 16

Returning to Tonglin City again, Kui Xin followed Yu Hanxue.

The workplace of Yu Hanxue’s aunt and uncle is not in the provincial capital, and they went to the provincial capital only to treat her illness. The two elders have to work, so they can only run back and forth between the two cities, which is very troublesome.

Kai Xin erased the memory of the hospital staff with his ecstatic voice, making them think that Yu Hanxue had been discharged from the hospital through formal procedures, so that Yu Hanxue could move about freely. As soon as Kai Xin returned to Tonglin City, she immediately went to find her aunts and uncles, and gave them the Fascinating Voice. According to Yu Hanxue, it is safest for her relatives not to know anything.

Since she had no place to live, she temporarily stayed at Kai Xin’s house.

“Your house is still exactly the same as before.” Yu Hanxue said.

“Yeah, they are all old things, and I am reluctant to throw them away.” Kui Xin found out her newly bought clothes and gave them to Yu Hanxue, “You can wear my clothes first after you take a shower, maybe the trouser legs will be a bit long…”

“Okay.” When Yu Hanxue went out last night to cover up her appearance, she changed out of her hospital gown and put on a casual dress.After a brief wash and changing into Kai Xin’s clothes, he finally looked like a young man full of energy.

Yu Hanxue looked in the mirror in amazement and said: “I remember you didn’t wear this style of clothes before, you always wore sports and casual styles, and the style of your new clothes is quite… ladylike? The heart shape on the short sleeves I like the pattern.”

“It’s always right to be careful when changing styles. I originally wanted to wear these clothes in college, but now that I’m out of school, there’s no need to make a different style.” Kui Xin said, “When I go out to do business, I Still in casual clothes.”

Yu Hanxue said: “It makes sense, it seems that I also need to be more careful in the future and change my style like you.” She thought about it and said, “In the second world, I rarely contact outsiders, secretly research All the offices are managed in a closed manner, and even I have little contact with my colleagues, each of us is responsible for an area, and we will not leave the work area unless necessary.”

“Have you considered the issue of exposure when you made a deal with August? Helping him infiltrate the research institute is not an easy task.” Kai Xin said.

“Augus entered the research institute to kill the experimental subjects and harvest their abilities. My plan is to escape while taking advantage of the chaos.” Yu Hanxue said distressedly, “I can’t stay in the research institute forever and wait for my ability level to improve a little bit.” , I don’t need S-rank, maybe I can be promoted to the top level of A-rank, and I have the ability to escape.”

Kai Xin asked: “Aren’t the experimental bodies in the research institute enough to support you to upgrade to S level?”

“It’s really hard to get to S-level… The experimental subjects I can come into contact with are all very low-level, most of them are E-level.” Yu Hanxue explained seriously, “There is an invisible experience in the game system. It seems that the experience points obtained by repeatedly harvesting low-level abilities will become less and less, and there will be losses, and the experience points required to upgrade to high levels are so huge. At this stage, if I kill the experimental subject, the improvement I can get is very small .If I want to make a big improvement in the future, then I can no longer harvest E-level, and need to harvest higher-level experimental subjects.”

Kai Xin was also aware of the loss of experience points.

The S-level ability that Augustus showed last night is probably the “material restructuring” he obtained at the beginning. How many people did Augustus kill to raise his ability to S-level?

“Can you tell me about the research project of your secret research institute? This seems to be a deep pool of water.” Kai Xin said, “Since the secret research institute was built by the Federation, the Federation wants to use this secret research institute to research What? To what end?”

“As far as I know, there are many research projects in the secret research institute. The buildings are built underground and divided into different areas.” Yu Hanxue organized the language, and said slowly, “The researchers in the institute are graded. I am at a relatively low level, with limited authority, responsible for handling chores, not for research, and the project I belong to researches time-type superpowers, and the time-type superpowers they have collected are not only the ‘Wheel of Time’, There are others, such as time freezing, time enchantment… The ‘Wheel of Time’ I am in charge of is a sub-project under the research project of time-related extraordinary abilities… The structure of this secret research institute is huge and complicated.”

“In addition to the time category, what other types do they study?” Kai Xin said.

“It’s very broad. Space and spirit. These are their research goals. The rarer the type, the more they invest. But I don’t know much about other research projects.” Yu Hanxue said, “Xin Xin, come and guess, how did the Federation collect so many extraordinary abilities?”

Kai Xin thought for a moment, “The federation does not hide the existence of awakened people from ordinary people. Awakened people are usually given preferential treatment. After ordinary people awaken, their citizen status will be improved. The federation has a large population in the second world, so cast a wide net to find so many people. It’s not uncommon to have such a special ability.”

“Yes, but not entirely true.” The smile on Yu Hanxue’s face became dark, “A certain civilian has awakened his extraordinary ability, and what awaits him may be prosperity or hell.”

If Kai Xin realized something, “You mean…the federation may train them, or arrest them and use them as subjects for human experiments?”

Yu Hanxue nodded, “Awakening is not necessarily a good thing, it may even become a reminder.”

How should I put it… When he suddenly learned of this breaking news, Kai Xin wasn’t surprised at all, but rather expected it.

Because the second world is so rotten, it’s rotten to the root, and Kai Xin doesn’t have any expectations for that world. No matter what disgusting things those people in power do, she doesn’t feel surprised.

“I have always hated the federation’s act of purging players, but now that I think about it, I can understand why they did this. After all, they don’t treat their own people very well, let alone us who are in the middle of the world. The player in the game.” Kui Xin said sarcastically.

High degree of control, high degree of oppression, deprivation of liberty, and involuntary fate, the ugliness of those in power are vividly reflected.

Yu Hanxue said: “Because I have been in contact with time-related projects for a long time, I actually have a guess in my heart.”

“What guess? Let’s hear it.” Kai Xin looked at her.

“If you have wealth, status, and even the greatest military force in the world, anything is within your reach… Then what else do you want?” Yu Hanxue asked.

Kai Xin’s heart moved, and he immediately replied: “Longevity!”

With money and power, of course we have to find ways to keep money and power in our hands longer, but human life is limited.It is simply not realistic to want wealth and power to stay in your hands forever.

Unless you can obtain eternal life.

When this answer emerged from his heart, Kai Xin almost laughed out loud.

It’s hard to guess the minds of those in power, and it’s easy to guess the minds of those in power, after all, they only care about those things. Although they have mastered most of the wealth in the world, people’s greed is endless. Things are still not enough in their hands, and they still want more.

Eternal life is a clichéd proposition. From ancient times to the present, too many people have wanted to obtain eternal life, and too many people have devoted themselves to this path one after another.

Although eternal life is a clichéd proposition, it is also a timeless proposition.

The reason why it is timeless is because human beings have never obtained eternal life. And for things that have not been obtained, human beings always have 100% enthusiasm for them.

What kind of existence can live forever?

I’m afraid… there is only God.

Some bits and pieces of information were strung together into threads, and Kai Xin suddenly had an epiphany.

Why are the Investigation Department and some research institutions studying alien creatures, why the Investigation Department was ordered to escort the cargo on the Kraken, why the Federation is also researching the blood of the gods, why the Federation wants to get “God”… those superiors are doing After so many tricks, they are also studying time-related supernatural abilities and divine blood, but their goals are the same from beginning to end.

It turns out that what they wanted from the beginning to the end was something so clichéd, so superficial, and so easy to understand—eternal life!

So what about Eve?

What happened when Eve asked the Mechanical Dawn team to carry out the mission of the Kraken? It hates humans so much that it doesn’t want the people in power in the Federation to get the cocoon of God and the mystery of eternal life?

For that mission at that time, Eve gave two choices, either let the ship dock in the next city, or directly bomb and sink the Kraken.

This at least shows that bombing the ship is actually not Eve’s first choice. To some extent, Eve is also eager to move on the cocoon of God, but it can restrain the greed in its heart and give up in time if it can’t get it. Unlike the Federation, which will directly Fill that hole with the orders of the security guards from the Investigation Department.

The reason why God’s Cocoon was not allowed to land in Black Sea City may be because Black Sea City was the headquarters of Mechanical Dawn at that time, and Eve thought it would be risky to let this thing stay in the headquarters. Because after the cocoon is revived, it will attract alien creatures to make a pilgrimage.

Kai Xin belatedly thought… If Cocoon had really landed in Heihai City and revived, would the alien creatures rise from the sea and flood into the city like a tide?

In order to avoid this kind of risk, Eve chose to let God’s Cocoon avoid Heihai City and transfer it in the next city… Unfortunately, Eve’s plan failed in the end, it sank the freighter, it could not get any benefits, and neither could the Federation. benefit.

“Xin Xin… Xin Xin?” Yu Hanxue called her a few words, “What are you thinking?”

“Well, I was thinking about some things I experienced before.” Kai Xin murmured, “After your reminder, I finally figured out some things and understood the cause and effect… It’s just that I understood it a little late… No, it’s also It’s not too late, this matter has nothing to do with me, it doesn’t make any difference if I know it sooner or later.”

Yu Hanxue studied Kuixin’s facial expressions for a while, and after confirming that Kuixin was not troubled by negative emotions, she said, “The Federation is a giant and cannot be easily shaken. Don’t think about it so much now, we still have a long way to go.”

Kai Xin shook his head, “No, our road is actually not that long. The world is changing too fast, and we don’t have time to adapt. Augus is in Tonglin City, we need to find him and get rid of him.”

Yu Hanxue looked at Kai Xin and said, “We will. Can you still know his location?”

“I know.” Kai Xin looked down at the time, “It’s four o’clock in the afternoon, and there are still eight hours left before the shuttle time.”

“Every shuttle, every return, will bring great changes to our world.” Yu Hanxue said, “I don’t know what the tobacco factory will look like next week.”

Kai Xin nodded, “I think Augus is waiting, waiting for the zero o’clock to come. He is on the outskirts of the old industrial area… He must want to take advantage of the zero o’clock to do something to the dark world of the tobacco factory.”
