forced to whitewash [rebirth]

Bai Yu glanced at the mutants surrounding outside, raised his vigilance and walked into the dark crack, of course the darkness couldn't block his sight, there was indeed a hole in the crack, but he didn't see anything strange after walking for a long time, and walked again After a while, I suddenly noticed someone unconscious in a remote corner:

"... Dinan?"

The red-haired young man fell on the ground and seemed to have lost consciousness, but he was still alive and did not appear to be polluted by zombies. Bai Yu tried to penetrate into the spiritual power to stimulate his sea of ​​consciousness to wake him up, and the other party opened his eyes in a daze. Eye:

"Jillian?"

Bai Yu: "..."

He clicked his tongue: "Did Biles say to return Jerian to you?"

"..." The other party finally came to his senses, even though he couldn't see clearly, he recognized Bai Yu from his voice, "...are you really here?"

"Ah, the other party thinks of me so much, so of course I can't let him down." Bai Yu shrugged.

Dinan was silent for a long time and struggled to get up. His leg seemed to be injured and he stood a little unsteadily:

"You should know it's a trap."

"Biles can't do anything to me," Bai Yu glanced at his leg, "Do you still want to stay with him? If you are going to leave, I can take you with me."

"...I have to get Jerian's spiritual body back." It seemed that this question touched the other party's mind, and Dinan started, "If Biles wants me to be your enemy, I will not waver .”

He almost gritted his teeth and said this, but Bai Yu didn't take it seriously: "You don't have to be so embarrassing, we are not friends in the first place, at most we are allies in the temporary exchange of benefits."

"Jelian is Mo Dingxuan's younger brother. If possible, I would also like to get his spiritual body back." Bai Yu thought for a while, "In short, you and I are masters, and there is no need to talk about love."

How can there be any affection, if Dinan wants to be an enemy of Mo Dingxuan, Bai Yu must kill him, now it's just for the sake of Jerian's face and Dinan didn't really do anything, just pretend he doesn't know.

Besides, Dinan was an ordinary person, it was too easy to kill him, and he could not hurt him in the first place.

"..." But Dinan probably had some misunderstanding, he was silent for a while, "Thank you."

Bai Yu: "..."

Forget it, it's not that he doesn't know how emotional the other party is, Bai Yu didn't continue to explain:

"I didn't see Biles, did he ask you to do anything?"

"...No, he asked me to come here to take a video for you guys, I passed out when I saw those things, until you woke me up just now," Dinan paused, "But he brought me here before— —Of course there were no monsters here then.”

"What did he bring you here for?"

"Uh, he just took me to see and asked me to record a video here?" Dinan hesitated for a while, "But he asked me to stay outside, and he entered the crack for a long time before coming out."

So what's in it?Bai Yu remembered that Bi Laisi mentioned that the spiritual body container was also here, could it be hidden in this crack?

He probed into the spiritual power, the inside of this crack was as narrow as the opening, and it was extremely deep. After exploring for a while, there was still no result. Bai Yu thought about it for a while:

"I'm going in. If Biles doesn't make arrangements, you can stay here."

"……OK."

Bai Yu glanced at him: "Your leg should have been frostbitten outside. There is nothing wrong with your bones. Find a warmer corner and it will get better."

Dinan was stunned for a moment before he could react. Bai Yu turned around and walked towards the crack. The young man didn't follow, and Bai Yu didn't think too much. There was no light in the narrow crack. He walked in the dark for a long time without looking. Seeing something strange, I was almost impatient and planned to directly blast the mountain range, and finally found something different, a faint light appeared at the end of the crack, Bai Yu turned the corner, and when he saw clearly what was in front of him, he forgot it for a while. took a breath.

The entire mountain wall in front of me is inlaid with strange crystals, emitting a faint green light in the dark, which looks like countless training cabins—and these training cabins made of special crystals are indeed filled with human beings. Small creatures, and all of them are like young children, they are naked, naked, floating in the spar, wow, wow, like eggs in a densely packed honeycomb. On the mountain wall.

"..." Bai Yu was stunned for a long time. He was not sure whether the people in front of him were human beings. Although the base of the spiritual power container was man-made talent, the only purpose of these human beings to provide spiritual power was to serve as the mother body. Energy, they are alive, but can they really be considered human?

He subconsciously approached the mountain wall. The light blue crystals seemed to be filled with liquid to supply the survival energy of the artificial human inside. When he walked in, it looked more like a training cabin for the body. Bai Yu was in a daze for a while. In order to be replaced by accident, of course, a simple body cannot be regarded as life, they have no soul, so what about these existences?Do you have a soul if you have strong spiritual power?There is not even an idiosyncrasy in their spirit.

Bai Yu didn't know what he was thinking, it might be because the life forms used as containers looked too similar to human beings, observing from such a close distance, he even felt that they would open their eyes at any time...!

The creature sealed in the turquoise suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes to look at him. Bai Yu couldn't tell the look in those eyes, he just felt his scalp go numb, and he took a step back. All the creatures on the entire mountain wall were shocked. When he woke up, thousands of pairs of eyes opened to look at him.

...was it conscious?Is it sentient?

The human creature in front of him looked like a child of three or four years old. He seemed to be very curious about Bai Yu and kept staring at Bai Yu. Perhaps he wanted to touch Bai Yu with his hand, but his body was too immature and he didn't have much strength. After struggling in vain for a long time, he couldn't lift his hand. For a moment, Bai Yu almost had the illusion of seeing grievance in his eyes.

...but is it really an illusion?

Bai Yu felt that it was hard to breathe. He stepped forward and stroked the spar without hesitation and shattered the hard shell on the surface. The inside was indeed as viscous as syrup, and the creature struggled in it, as if it was about to become The little bug struggling in the pine resin of amber, Bai Yu took him out, the tentacles were sticky and cold, the young child's body was weak, but he should be very happy, trying to raise his head to look at Bai Yu, his eyes It was very bright, with his mouth open, as if he wanted to ask something in a language he could only understand—but in the end, Bai Yu didn't hear the child's milky voice. Birth is a creature that exists as an energy source. He died the moment he came into contact with the air, he still looked at Bai Yu, but his eyes no longer looked bright.

Perhaps it is not accurate to say that he is dead. Can the previous state be called alive?

Bai Yu was blank for a moment, he looked up in a daze, the creatures on the entire mountain wall were still looking at him curiously, children are curious about strangers, and they have this awareness, although they There is no self-knowledge yet.

Why...it is obviously a peaceful and safe world, why make such a thing?

Bai Yu took a deep breath. One of the purposes of his coming here was to destroy the spiritual body container. Obviously, these young children would die if they left the special liquid supply. In this case... he couldn't take them away.

...so, kill them?

Man-made monsters may not have appeared in the world in the first place, and they have never been seen by anyone as compatriots. They are tools and energy sources, just like coal and electricity, used to consume to complete certain tasks. Work, there is no life and death in them, only consumption and being consumed.

But they are obviously alive, they have consciousness and feelings, maybe there are other ways to make them live and come into contact with the air, maybe they have the opportunity to truly become human beings?

"Why are you so entangled?" However, the silence was interrupted by someone who appeared suddenly, and Bi Laisi walked out from the other side of the crack and smiled casually, "Anyway, you will kill them for Mo Dingxuan in the end."

"..." Bai Yu frowned and raised his vigilance, putting aside the matter of the spiritual body container for the time being, "It's the same if I kill you first."

If Biles is killed right now, then this can be dealt with after a few days. Anyway, he has already analyzed the frequency. It is useless for someone without talent to interfere with this spiritual body container. He will go back and ask Mo Dingxuan how to deal with it alright.

Biles smiled: "It seems that you really like children-but I like them too, we are very similar in this respect."

Bai Yu ignored him, Biles raised an eyebrow:

"Don't you ask me why I asked you to come here?"

Bai Yu was indifferent: "What does it have to do with me?"

"How could the matter between the two of us have nothing to do with you?" Biles clicked his tongue, "But forget it, it's similar to what you said last time."

"...?" Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, when did he say this.

"Although it has been several years for me, it should only be a few months for you. It makes me sad to forget it like this," the red-haired young man pretended to be sad, "Then what's the housework of our human race?" , don’t bother you’, why don’t you want to cooperate with me?”

"...!!"

Bai Yu was shocked when he recalled this sentence, he looked at Biles in disbelief, thinking that he could see the appearance characteristics of a certain existence from his face, but no matter where it was, it was completely different,

"You are……"

"Hey Bai Yu,"

Probably because his appearance pleased the youth, Biles smiled more and more sincerely, he and Bai Yu looked at each other, the sincerity in his eyes was perfect without imitation,

"I saw you've been thankful for one thing since you woke up,"

He walked towards Bai Yu with a smile on his face, and Bai Yu took a step back,

"That is, even though it's been two lifetimes—"

This time Bai Yu finally felt familiar from his eyes, his body was almost stiff when he breathed stagnation, the young man rolled his eyes with a smile, he had already walked in front of Bai Yu, his tone was gentle with nostalgia,

"—and you are still as beautiful as ever."
