Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 419 Investment

"Jiang Ming, right? Haha, you just show up in front of me so brazenly?"

Mebius gave a curious smile and directed all his curiosity towards the mysterious man who suddenly appeared.

Jiang Ming also smiled: "I know what kind of person Dr. Mobius is. Although his way of doing things scares ordinary people, he is indeed wholeheartedly for the evolution of mankind. As for what consequences it will have on this generation of human beings? That has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Besides, considering my current record, Dr. Mebius, you can't take anything away from me. You came to visit me today just to get acquainted with me in advance."

"Oh? Do you want to check my luck too? I don't really believe in this."

"Haha, that's not necessary. Besides, as a genius who believes in science, it's normal for Dr. Mebius not to believe in these metaphysical things. But doctor, how broad is your vision? Mu Continent, the technological center of the Earth? Or the entire solar system? Or in other words, do you know any other information outside the solar system?"

Jiang Ming shook his head slightly and answered himself: "No, you don't know. Not even one of us can leave this solar system, not even me at the moment."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

The smile on Mebius's face gradually disappeared, and he looked up and down at the young man standing in front of him. The young man had a face like jade, eyes like deep pools, skin as white as snow, and a gentle gaze. If an ordinary person saw this young man, he would definitely feel good about him.

But Mebius was clearly not an ordinary person.

Jiang Ming did not respond directly to the other party. He was also looking at the girl in front of him.

She was taller than other women, with a huge purple heart on her chest, long emerald green hair reaching down to her waist, and a gleam of scrutiny in her dim eyes.

After a moment's silence, Jiang Ming began to tell a story: "When a girl walks barefoot on the floor, it makes a clacking sound."

"Like her slender hands, her feet would also appear uniquely white in the sunlight, sometimes even giving people an illusion of being almost transparent, but in this dimly lit room, such a scene is rarely seen."

"[We are also fleeting, the so-called happy story is bittersweet, mixed with pain and loss] The music came from the corner of the room."

"The girl stood on tiptoe and carefully took the medicine box off the cabinet. She took out the required amount expertly, then ran over and handed them to the thin man."

"The lovely girl looked at him quietly, with an expression that was almost pity, waiting for him to swallow the white pills one by one. Yes, pity, pity for [father]."

"Generally speaking, this kind of expression would never appear on a girl like this... Even though the man was indeed worthy of sympathy - he was once a famous pharmacist, a man who, although he always missed his wife after she died, did not fall down and become depressed. To this day, the girl still remembers the gentle tone of his voice when he handed the prescription to the patient."

"He has always been a gentle man and a good father... until that terrible disease found him."

"Snapped."

"It was a loud slap, and it came out of nowhere."

"But the girl didn't cover her face. She was silently analyzing where the blood in her mouth came from, whether it was her gums or the inner wall of her mouth that was injured... She didn't question why the man did this. She was just thinking about some questions like this."

“She’s used to it.”

"For this man who has been suffering from illness for a long time and has long been moody, he actually has no reason to do this. Most of the time, this is just a signal - he is telling his daughter, [You can leave], or... [Get lost]"

"The girl doesn't blame her father - she knows exactly what's going on."

"The names, dosages, effects, and even side effects of the pills she had just taken out were all reappearing in her mind."

"Yes, just like the patients the man had before, the side effects of these drugs mercilessly hijacked their nerves and even tampered with their cognition."

"The girl suddenly felt that everything in front of her looked so ridiculous - a white pill, it looked so clean and flawless, but it could easily destroy all of a person's emotions and personality and turn him into another person."

"Human beings...are such ridiculously fragile creatures. How ridiculous...how funny...how ugly..."

"Today, the girl did not leave the room directly as requested by the other party."

"She adjusted her long light green hair and raised her head with a rather playful expression."

"'You look really ugly.'"

"The girl said: 'I...will never become a human like you.'"

"Snapped--"

"Another loud slap."

"Blood oozed from the corner of the girl's mouth, but this time, she was still stubborn and insisted on looking at the man lying on the bed with that playful expression."

"[We are also fleeting, the so-called happy story is bittersweet, mixed with pain and loss]... The music turns back, it is a familiar position, a familiar melody."

"'I will...make humanity evolve'"

"'No matter what kind of disaster, no matter what kind of drug...I will never let them humiliate [humanity] like this again. I will never...let them become a disgusting monster like you.'"

"The girl endured the pain and took a deep breath: 'I'm done, you can continue.'"

Jiang Ming paused and continued: "——That day was the ninth birthday of this poor and lovely girl, and it was also the last birthday she spent at home."

Mebius's expression turned completely cold, because what Jiang Ming was talking about was her birthday when she was nine years old, without even leaving any details.

"Is this one of the reasons why you want to achieve human evolution?" Jiang Ming looked around the office...a laboratory to be precise, but considering that the doctor and his assistant spend almost 90% of their time here every day, perhaps it could not be wrong to call it a living room.

"You can easily detect the memories in the other person's mind, or know the past and future. Is this also the rule of the universe you mentioned?"

Jiang Ming nodded, his tone somewhat proud: "That's right. As for the means you mentioned to explore memory and know the past and future, they are the rules of the memory universe and the rules of the wisdom universe. I used the latter this time. After all, if I really want to explore your memory, it would be a bit too rude for me and it doesn't conform to my personal moral standards."

"You...are you threatening me?

"Haha, the Way of Wisdom emphasizes three elements: thought, intention, and emotion. With my methods, I can change your thoughts, control the will in your mind, affect your emotions, or enslave your body, modify your memory, and even control your soul. These can all be done through the corresponding rules of the universe... But I can't do that."

"Why?" Even after hearing such threatening words, Mebius was not afraid, because there was no intimidation in Jiang Ming's tone at all.

"Because you are Mebius, do you like this answer?"

Mebius: “…”

Jiang Ming shook his head slowly, and said with a smile: "So, to be precise, what I want to do is invest."
