Chapter 16 Thunderbolt
Like a bolt from the blue!
Ziliang, Harry Quinn, and even Old Joey were shaken by these words.
Could it be that the x Academy we come to every year is not a class that carries joy and growth, but a slaughterhouse?
Are the playgrounds, lawns, and sunshine outside the windows actually decorations on the surface of the slaughterhouse?
Ziliang resisted the shock: "Can Shirley be dead?"
Professor Wagner didn't say anything, but just lowered his head slightly.
"Haha, how is it possible? You are lying to us, right?" Harry Quinn said with a reluctant smile: "How could a person kill a potential level 5 mutant because he has the possibility of him? That's just a possibility."
Professor Wagner nodded: "Yes, it's just a possibility, but the consequences of this possibility are something that all of us can't bear together."
"But" Quinn seemed to want to say something else.
"No, but!" Professor Wagner suddenly interrupted her: "No matter what you want to say, it is meaningless, because you have not experienced that battle, so you don't know how terrible a level five mutant is.
I saw a level five mutant standing quietly and doing nothing. Everything around began to decompose and turned into dust. However, the dust was decomposed again into tiny particles that could not even be seen by the naked eye. A level five mutant was enough to decompose the entire earth into slag. If there were such an existence, what would be two? Or three? They didn't have to worry about the life and death of human beings at all. Even their consciousness did not need human beings at all. What they destroyed was that this world would let one person die, or tens of millions of people die. What would you choose?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen that kind of scene before." Old Joey suddenly interrupted in a muffled voice: "It sounds quite good to kill someone to save many people, but Shirley is my friend, which feels bad. I don't know if you can understand."
"Of course I can tell the person who breaks down the world in my mouth is also my friend," Professor Wagner said lightly.
"Not only that, the person who killed her was my friend, and the person who was killed by her was my friend. And this situation is a choice that almost everyone has to face in those wars.
You have all learned the "Introduction to the History of Mutants" by Professor McCoy. Human history is actually spent in constant wars. We kill each other, then fight and mourn each other again. But when the war starts again, those who mourn will be more cruel than anyone else. This is nature. In fact, until the promulgation of the Bill X, humans finally have no war again. Therefore, we cannot make any exception for anyone, even if those people are our friends, parents, teachers, and benefactors. This is what we have to bear."
There was a silence, people opened their mouths slightly, but they were speechless x Act. A few minutes ago, it was an extremely wonderful noun, but in this second, it seemed to have become a demon that you can't even refute.
"Actually, we can all think about the benefits. In fact, Shirley is not dead," Professor Wagner said suddenly: "Or it is, she is still alive in another way."
"What?" Everyone was shocked
"Professor Charles considered a lot when he established the X Act. This proposal was indeed cruel, which was inevitable, but it also reduced this cruelty to the lowest level." Wagner said, looking at Ziliang: "Do you know why no one except you noticed Shirley's strangeness?"
"Because the memories of others have been tampered with!" Ziliang replied.
Wagner nodded: "Yes, but this is only one aspect. And more importantly, all the memories of Shirley Birkin have been completely implanted into the mind of the current "Sherley Birkin". In other words, the little girl in front of you, except for her appearance, everything about her is exactly the same as Shirley Birkin. Even if she herself thinks she is the real Shirley, then what is the difference between her and the original Shirley?"
This passage is very confusing, but Professor Wagner said it very clearly. Obviously, he has recalled this passage in his mind countless times. He has even said this passage to many people.
Ziliang frowned. The successive facts made him completely fall into a state of almost dementia. Yes, if it was really like what the other party said, all the memories were transferred, then it was just a skin bag. Then, is Shirley still dead?
Suddenly, Zi Hao thought of another problem.
"No, since Shirley's memory has been transferred to the current body, where did this body come from?"
"Vegetative." Professor Wagner's simple words dispelled Ziliang's doubts: "The x Act is much more complete than you think. Although the number of humans in the post-war world is extremely rare, each city will add several or even more than ten new vegetatives every year, that is, those whose hearts are still beating, but their brain waves are as calm as stagnant water. Every person who is predicted to have the possibility of becoming a level 5 mutant will choose a suitable body among these vegetatives and then become a new memory carrier. This can not only eliminate the safety hazards that threaten humans, but also make the original "dead people" come alive again. This is the most perfect solution we can think of, or even the most perfect solution."
Ziliang shook his head. Although from a rational perspective, this approach was indeed the most perfect, his mind was still struggling like he was unwilling to give up, and even became more and more panicked, as if a voice was constantly telling himself that this was not all, and this was a lie.
So, he rubbed his head hard: "How can you guarantee that the carrier of this memory will not have any problems? You are not those who have been injected into the memory. What if they don't match, what if something goes wrong, such as having hallucinations, or simply going crazy? This may be just your wishful thinking." Ziliang asked.
Professor Wagner smiled helplessly: "Yes, there are indeed some differences in different bodies, but now, no one seems to have any discomfort except you."
