Chapter 149: The Premonition of Darkness
Chapter 149: The Premonition of Darkness
After getting himself ready, Su Chen stepped into the TPC prison to visit Keigo Masaki who was imprisoned there.
Since Dagu had other things to do, he was the only one who came to visit this time.
When Su Chen saw the dishevelled Masaki Keigo sitting on the hard bed, he moved a small stool and sat down in front of Masaki Keigo's cell. He said in a calm tone, "Now we can have a good chat, Mr. Masaki Keigo."
"Humph!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Masaki Keigo first snorted in disdain, but then his expression softened and he continued, "You did win this round, but without me, you won't be able to stop the final darkness from coming!"
In fact, like Daiko, Masaki Keigo also has super ancient genes in his body. Not only that, Masaki Keigo often has terrifying visions of the final darkness coming. The deep sense of powerlessness always makes Masaki Keigo break out in cold sweats every time he dreams, and his body starts to tremble involuntarily. The darkness that seems to invade the depths of his soul is about to drive him to the brink of madness.
Masaki Keigo hugged his head tightly and trembled. "Someone must stand up to stop the darkness from coming!"
Su Chen looked at Masaki Keigo's somewhat crazy appearance quietly, frowning slightly.
The light in the cell was a little dim, and it reflected on Masaki Keigo's distorted face, making it look particularly gloomy. Su Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Masaki Keigo, I know you want to stop the arrival of the ultimate darkness, but your method is still too extreme. You even think of yourself as a god. Da Gu and I are embarrassed to say that we are gods."
"Besides, do you know why Hikari chose Daiko instead of you?"
"Why?!" asked Masaki Keigo.
This is also the thing that he doesn't understand the most. He is obviously better than Dagu and has a smart mind.
Su Chen's face was calm, and he continued, "Da Gu has something you don't have, that is, a kind and strong heart, a heart willing to protect others. Never underestimate the power of human beings."
"The desire to protect others..." Masaki Keigo murmured. Then he shook his head slightly, showing a bitter smile, and said, "Perhaps, but even with this desire to protect others, it is impossible to stop the final darkness from coming. You simply cannot understand the horror of the final darkness."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Su Chen smiled with a slight smile. "Cheer up, where there is darkness there is light. Fear is not terrible, what is terrible is to flee without fighting. The way to eliminate fear is to face it."
Keigo Masaki stared at Su Chen blankly, and something in his heart seemed to be loosening quietly.
"Let me tell you something." Su Chen said with a smile. "Da Gu and I have already been to that ultimate dark place and checked in. It's not as scary as you think."
Masaki Keigo widened his eyes and looked at Su Chen in disbelief, "What did you say? You have been there? How is this possible..."
"You.....he......."
Masaki Keigo was so confused by Su Chen's words that he couldn't even speak properly for a moment.
Su Chen shrugged, "Nothing is impossible. If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then it's really over."
After a while, Masaki Keigo raised his head, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Maybe... maybe you are right, and I am really wrong."
Su Chen smiled and stood up. "Think about it again. It's never too late to mend the fold."
After saying that, Su Chen turned around and prepared to leave the cell. Masaki Keigo looked at his departing back, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. His eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity, and Su Chen's words also planted a seed of hope in his heart.
As Su Chen's footsteps faded away, the cell returned to peace. Masaki Keigo sat quietly on the hard bed, his mind full of thoughts. His hands, which had been tightly holding his head, slowly loosened, and his eyes began to become firm.
Shortly after Su Chen left, Director Sawai came to visit Keigo Masaki in prison.
As Su Chen was on his way to the command room, he found that many staff members looked like they were taking drugs, but they all had happy smiles on their faces.
At first Su Chen thought it was some kind of prank, but when he saw a pot of yellow trumpet-shaped flowers on a staff member's desk, Su Chen knew that the matter was serious.
"Zijela!"
Zijella is a super-ancient plant and one of the culprits that destroyed super-ancient civilization. The pollen it spreads can make humans indulge in endless joy, but once humans become addicted, they will become very dependent on Zijella, fighting and robbing for Zijella and losing themselves. Before the final darkness falls, Zijella will spread its flowers on the earth, accelerating the speed of human destruction.
“Have you reached here yet?”
Qijiela is still a little tricky for Su Chen, not because it is difficult to defeat. The real headache is that Qijiela can make people immersed in endless joy and make people extremely addicted.
After Su Chen destroyed the pot of Qijiela without hesitation, he rushed to the command room without stopping.
During the short time he was away, Da Gu successfully brought a girl in blue clothes and Lina and others back to the base from the grassland, and brought back a sample of Zijella.
The door of the command room was suddenly pushed open and Su Chen walked in hurriedly.
"Su Chen, why are you in such a hurry and panic?" Jujing asked curiously.
"Let's talk about it later." Su Chen had no time to care about the question of digging the well at the moment. His eyes were fixed on Qi Jiela in the glass cover on the table, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"Su Chen, do you recognize this flower?" The sharp-eyed Jue Jing noticed the unusual change in Su Chen's expression and guessed that he might have come into contact with similar flowers and plants before, so he asked.
"Well, this flower is called Zigela."
"It's strange that you know Qijiela!" The girl in blue sitting on Lina's chair said with some surprise.
The girl who spoke was a cyborg named Dina. She lived with her father and needed to rely on Zijera's essence to survive.
"Does Dina know too?" Dagu asked.
"Yes. Zijella is a plant on Earth. When humans are about to perish, Zijella will definitely bloom on Earth."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Juejing was also unhappy when he heard it. This little girl looked very cute, but why did she speak so hurtfully?
