Chapter 166 Extra Story (Nineteen)
Kakong Dimension, Talos Federation Base.
In the distance, An Xiaomian looked at Song Ke who was drinking, put down the tools in her hand, pouted her mouth, stomped her feet, and silently "cursed" a few words, then shook her head, and then started cleaning again.
"How is it? The taste is not bad, right?" Davis asked, raising his eyebrows quite proudly, seeing Song Ke's satisfied expression.
"Yeah." Song Ke nodded, and immediately asked, "Old Dai, oh no, from today onwards, I'll call you Uncle Dai."
"Uh...isn't it good to be called Uncle Dai, um...where's Grandpa Dai?"
"Grandpa, how big are you!" Davis raised his right hand, slapped Song Ke on the back of the head, and scolded, "Am I so old?"
"Uh...hehe, then tell me, what should I call you?" Song Ke grinned, revealing a harmless smile.
Davis's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit, he picked up the wine glass on the side, and filled it with the liquid in the shaking glass:
"Whatever, it's just a title."
Song Ke picked up the cup, handed it to Davis, smiled, and decided:
"Well, then I'll call you Uncle Dai from now on."
"Uncle Dai, come, let me toast you."
This brat!The corner of Davis's mouth moved slightly, and the eyes he looked at Song Ke softened a little.
"You should have respected me, brat, old man, I've helped you in secret for so many years, you're calling uncle for nothing!" Davis touched him, then raised his head and took a big gulp.
Song Ke also took a sip with him, then smiled and said:
"Didn't you do it voluntarily!"
"Pfft..." Davis almost couldn't control his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of liquid. He swallowed the remaining liquid in his mouth suddenly, and opened his eyes wide:
"Hey! What did you say, kid? What do you mean I voluntarily? Do you want to be beaten?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a gesture of making a fist and swinging.
Song Ke shrank his neck subconsciously and smiled awkwardly.
After the joke, he exhaled and sorted out his thoughts. Davis said calmly:
"If you want to become a strong person who controls the power of taboo, you have to endure pain that ordinary people can't bear, including losing control and becoming a monster."
Out of control and turned into a monster?But I didn't, Song Ke asked doubtfully, "Did it become like a different phagocytosis?"
Davis nodded and continued:
"At the beginning, when the catastrophe just broke out, the mutated influence brought by the tide undoubtedly caused great harm to human beings. Human beings were killed and injured countless times, but behind this disaster, there was a change in the new era."
"It was probably the fifth year after the catastrophe. At that time, we were still in a situation where we were helpless against the tide and the different phages. However, not long after, we walked out of the abandoned land, which is now the restricted area Human."
"Yes, you heard it right, it's human beings, not heterophages." Davis said here, raised his wine glass, and took a big gulp without any sign of stopping, until the big glass of wine was completely drained. drank it down.
Song Ke's hairs stood on end, his pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously straightened his back.
Song Ling never told himself these things.
This time, listening to Davis's talk, no matter the attitude or feelings were completely different from before. Before he showed his strength, Ling Yaojie just listened to his words as a story to relieve fatigue.
But this time, he took it as a plan for the future of his life, and listened to it as a life experience.
"Boom!"
Davis pressed the cup heavily on the table, raised his head slightly, and continued in a reminiscent tone:
"With the appearance of those six people, the glorious era of mankind began."
"They shared the experience and methods of controlling the power of taboo with others, helped them improve their own strength, fought with the survivors, and jointly resisted the invasion of different phages. In the end, after four years of fighting, we finally After defeating all the heterophages inhabiting the restricted area, the Talos Federation Government was established. Then, with the help of the Federation Government, humans established survival bases in various places, until now, there are already five super bases.”
"But!" Davis changed the subject, "Magic doesn't come out of thin air, and it doesn't come without a price to become stronger."
"To make a deal with 'God', loss of control and mutation are just the lowest price!"
What?Make a deal with "God"?How does this involve the topic of "God"?Is there a "god" in this world?Song Ke was numb all over and confused, isn't this a virtual existence that should appear in all kinds of stories?
As a person born in the late period of the catastrophe, he has little contact with various religious beliefs in the old world, and he himself has no chance to touch that kind of knowledge. Children who watch the changes of the people around them cannot receive much good higher education.
He couldn't understand what Davis meant by making a deal with "God".
Looking at his bewildered expression, Davis curled his lips slightly, pretending to spread knowledge easily and said:
"The so-called 'gods' are nothing more than controlling stronger taboo forces. They look at problems from a perspective beyond human cognition, and deal with problems in a way that crosses dimensions. They can always explore this mystery in a new way. infinite universe."
"If one day, I mean if, you will understand what I said today, but now, you don't need to take this matter to heart, because it will become your burden."
Song Ke suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and even lowered his voice unconsciously:
"Uncle Dai, have you seen it? God?"
Davis took a sip of his drink and said with a solemn smile:
"No."
Song Ke was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"No... No, what you said is the same as the truth. Where did you hear it?"
Davis replied with an unchanged expression:
"How about the knowledge in the book? Are you interested?"
"Most of this kind of knowledge in books is deceiving." Song Ke curled his lips, "Compared with that powerful god, I would rather believe what I see."
In this passage, he felt that Davis, who was talking about running the train with his mouth full of words, had returned.
Thinking of this, he didn't continue the incomprehensible and unable to continue topic just now, and asked instead:
"The cost of becoming stronger you mentioned is the loss of control caused by genetic mutation? Or is it a direct loss of control leading to death?"
"I mean, is there a probability, or is it a qualitative question?"
In his view, becoming a night hunter who controls the power of taboo is nothing more than genetic modification.And this transformation is accompanied by risks, which is what Davis calls out of control.
However, what is the method of this transformation, or what are the materials used for the transformation?
Crystal?Or, something else?
Davis didn't continue the topic just now. He played with the wine glass in his hand and said unhurriedly:
"Well... that's all I can tell you right now. You just have to remember that there is no way to become stronger. All sacrifices to gain strength are the price."
"There are some prices you can afford, and some prices you can't afford."
Song Ke listened in a cloud of fog, he opened his mouth, then closed it again, his thoughts flashed for a while, and he fell into deep thought again.
In this way, the two were silent for about 2 minutes, Song Ke raised his head and asked:
"What about you? What price did you pay for becoming a strong man?"
"Me?" Davis' pupils shrank slightly, and he exerted force with his right hand, crushing the glass uncontrollably.
As the wine glass burst, the temperature in the entire bar suddenly dropped, as if returning to the extreme cold winter in an instant, and the strange and dense whispers echoed in everyone's ears and climbed into their hearts.
The orange-yellow light bulb above his head seemed to be disturbed by an inexplicable force, and Zizi trembled when it was on and off.
