black sky

After reading the content of the message, Chusi pressed a few times on the screen, and then paused for a moment when he pressed his thumb on a certain place, then let go of his hand and raised his eyes to look at the holographic screen.

During the time he was processing the message, Saye Young had already released that video.

First, there was a black screen for a few seconds, and only a few human voices could be heard mixed with the rustling voice. After a while, the front of the camera suddenly lit up, and the screen faded into a normal image.

It looked like someone had started the camera, swept away the cover of the clothes, and finally managed to secretly capture the next scene.

The place in the shot is like a hybrid of a conference room and a laboratory. There is an oval conference table, but no one sits around the table in a proper manner, but sits on the side of the table in twos and threes. On the table, some are leaning on the edge of the table, and some are sitting on the chair, sandwiched between those people.

At first glance, the atmosphere is more like some kind of casual chatter.

But where those people focused their attention, there was a huge instrument, which looked a bit like the mechanical therapeutic device that Chus had been lying on, but actually had many more ports than the therapeutic device.

Chus, who was watching the video, frowned, he knew what it was - this was what was drawn in the sketch diagram, that is, the experimental cabin that would be used in those time experiments.

In the video, the cover of the experimental cabin is raised and has not yet been activated. On the metal platform like a bed, there is a woman sitting on it.

To be precise, she did not sit voluntarily. Her legs were fixed on the platform by several metal buckles, and her wrists were also buckled to death. Although her upper body was sitting upright, there were also several metal hoops around her body. loops, with the top loop at the neck.

The long dark brown curly hair is a bit messy, but it doesn't hinder her unique temperament.Her eyes are big and bright. Under the light, they seem to be covered with a layer of inorganic glass, which is extremely clear.This makes her look very pure, and when her eyes fall on someone, it will make people feel a sense of shrinkage.

She just quietly looked around at the people in the room, and she could clearly find that the eyes of the people she looked at would avoid for a moment.

Standing next to her was a person who seemed to be hosting this "chat and miscellaneous meeting". It was a tall, thin man, a little older, with silver-gray hair, and deep nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth. When he got up, there was a hint of shrewdness again.

He smiled at the woman, and said, "Miss Esther Cabell—"

The man's tone was very polite. At first glance, it seemed that the place they were in was a dinner party.After he finished addressing her, he turned to face the crowd, and said, "Ms. Esther Kabell must be known to everyone, so I don't need to introduce any more."

In the conference room of the command center, Childe Feng and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard the name.

"Esther Kabell?!" Shao Heng repeated the name, "Isn't this the legendary scientific research expert? He was born in the combat team of the military department, and he has been trained in special training camps for several years. Outstanding ability in intelligent machinery and dimensional technology was transferred to the research institute. Due to an experiment error at a young age, the organs of the whole body were shattered and damaged, and unfortunately died... Some of the things she designed were later used as irreplaceable foundations. On many high-end intelligent systems of government organizations, such as the upgrade system, high-end teleportation platform, mechanical healing device, etc. that were added to the space prison later.”

As a fan of military mechanical weapons, he always has infinite favor for experts in this field, and this Esther Kabell just happens to be on the list of experts he admires and admires.

Truss had heard him lament the expert's untimely death.

However, even if they are not fans of mechanical weapons, everyone present, as high-level officials of government organizations, still has knowledge of such experts—obviously everyone has heard of Esther Kabell’s name and knows something about her Deeds and ultimately regrettable untimely death.

But the scene in the video looked different from what they had heard.

"Miss Cabell was found to have played some little tricks that were not loyal to the experimental group. Fortunately, it was recovered in time and did not have any substantial impact on the existing results." The gray-haired man continued, "I think Miss Cabell You must understand how many people have spent many years to achieve the current results, and the manpower and material resources invested in it are unparalleled. Any destructive means should be tortured by conscience."

Esther Kabell, who was sitting on the metal stage, snorted, with an expression of indescribable contempt and sarcasm.Such an expression made her face suddenly vivid, indescribably beautiful.But such a smile, in exchange for a sudden current passing through the metal ring around his neck.

Esther Kabell lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, the voice in his throat disappeared instantly.

Because of the man's words, the onlookers were a little bit annoyed and contemptuous, but when they saw her suffering, they felt a little bit intolerable.

"What we are doing is a great cause, which is related to the planet and even the interstellar. It is a supreme honor to be born as a human being. Human beings have all the virtues bestowed by God and the technology they have acquired to transform the world into a prosperous one today. It’s not an exaggeration to call it a miracle, but the only shortcoming is that you can’t break through the time limit.” The gray-haired man paused and continued: “Imagine, when you accidentally make some mistakes, just go back If you take a step back, you can correct everything. Then everything in the world will be infinitely closer to perfection. We can no longer be so careful, for fear that a certain decision or a certain development will cause irreversible consequences, and even lead to the end of the entire planet .Who wants to follow in the footsteps of the vagabonds? No one."

"If we have an eraser, then everything becomes easy and simple. We can be more daring. All miraculous inventions originate from a bold idea, and we can have more opportunities to try. There is more room for perfection, those outstanding and great people can survive for a long time in the world, and those ordinary citizens can also enjoy endless fun to their heart's content, without worrying about waiting for the death that will come at an unknown date. That will It is the most subversive and seductive revolution, and it will become the most magnificent epic."

"This kind of possibility is in our hands now, only a few steps away, why not be firmer?" The man said, looking at Esther Kabel, and looked her up and down with an incomprehensible look After looking it over, he sighed again, and said in a tired voice: "We never thought that there would be you among the people who betrayed our ideals. Really... I never thought that there would be you. You have been to the abandoned planet where wanderers used to live, and you have also seen a large area in the southwest of the City of Silver irreversibly abandoned due to excessive radiation, and the barren Saturn has less and less livable area visible to the naked eye. This world is too vast Now, the sea of ​​stars is too big, but there are so few livable places. We walk so carefully, but we still make some mistakes. Is it really unforgivable? If we can do it all over again, why not? Tell me, There's no reason to say no."

Esther Kabell subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but failed to make a sound.So he froze for a moment just after speaking, then frowned and looked down, as if he wanted to look at his neck.

Then she smiled indifferently, shook her head, and closed her eyes as if she was too lazy to say anything.

"What did she just say?" Childe Feng asked suddenly.

Several of you here have been specially trained to be extremely sensitive to lip language.Truss didn't even think about it before replying: "She said, 'If time doesn't mean anything anymore'."

After Chusi's words fell, the meeting room was silent again.The same is true in the video. After a few seconds of silence, the gray-haired man took a breath, lowered his eyes and said: "All subversive progress is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. This is sad, painful, and inevitable. The cornerstone of the experiment. At this stage of the experiment, there must always be someone who took that step first. Miss Cabell, for what you have done before, we choose to forgive, and we hope you will forgive us for what we will do. Honestly, You are a very, very good girl, and as your former research team leader, I am really proud of you. So...good luck."

Esther Kabell lowered her head, seeming to have blocked everyone and all voices.

The gray-haired man raised his hand and pressed the start button of the experimental cabin, and there was a buzzing sound. The metal ring on Esther Kabell's body was magnetically attracted, and she was sucked onto the metal platform.She lay there flat, without making a sound or moving, the transparent cover came down and closed tightly with a clanging sound, like a coffin that had been prepared long ago, and finally sealed the lid.

Various ports are automatically connected to her body, weaving a spider web in the transparent cover.

The other two experimental assistants adjusted the various parameters of the instrument, and the expressions of the onlookers became tense, and they held their breath, as if expecting the expected results of the experiment.

Under the gaze of everyone, the experimental cabin suddenly released an energy field, and the entire instrument began to tremble slightly.

A few seconds later, the experimental cabin made a strange fault sound, a large amount of blood was suddenly splashed on the transparent cover, and the tremor stopped abruptly.

The gray-haired man closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "The experiment failed."

When the blood splashed out, several people in the conference room of the command center also closed their eyes subconsciously. Chus propped his shoulders on the table and lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Say Yang.

It's what Esther Kabell once went through, and it's what Sae Young once went through.

In the video, someone suddenly discovered the person who secretly took the video, so after the experiment failed, the video also suddenly went black amidst the noise and shaking, and the recording should have been forcibly turned off by someone.

"My...God..." Shao Heng wiped his face, lowered his head and slowed down for a while.He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

But Sae Yang rewinded the video a bit, to the moment before Esther Kabell was forcibly pulled flat by the magnetic force, the gray-haired man pressed the start button, and said: "Here, pay attention, she talking."

As soon as everyone was reminded by him, they suddenly raised their heads and stared at the screen.

The picture was deliberately slowed down several times by Say Young, so everyone could clearly see that the corners of Esther Kabel's mouth slightly turned up, as if showing a smile, and then his lips moved a few times, and he really said What.

But because she lowered her head, the angle problem caused many obstacles to lip recognition.

"Can you tell what she's talking about?" asked the second-in-commands.

"I think this sentence is probably the reason why the military department dug it up again. In addition, if I am not mistaken, the sender of the previous email should also be her." Sae Yang described the process Played back and forth more than ten times.

Everyone is still at a loss.Chu Si didn't continue to guess that sentence, but turned his head to look at Mr. Shao, and asked, "Mr. Shao, after reading this, what do you want to say? Are you sure you want to wait?"
