Boundary Convention - Chapter Nine One Step Away

Ingleff was very confused. He stood by the underground lake of the eternal dead and looked at the helpless woman squatting on the ground in front of him.

Just before the wilderness and his party went to Iceland, a person was deliberately left at the base of the eternal undead, and that person was Miu Ito. Just a few minutes before departure, Mo You told Mei Yu that her pillow had fallen by the lake, and asked her to look for it, but when Mei Yu just returned to the shore, the submarine behind her disappeared.

“Moyou never sleeps with a pillow. As her subordinate, you don’t know?” Ingleff walked to Meiyu and said.

“I, how would I know such a thing.” Meiyu held her head, not daring to look into Ingolf’s eyes.

Of course, Ingolf didn’t know if Mo You used a pillow to sleep, but if it was Mo Xiao, he would know. Meiyu’s answer is not good enough for him to make up his mind, the woman in front of him is probably a ‘time bomb’ that Moyou specially left for him, after all, she is a perverse little sister who can do anything, but it seems a bit uncomfortable to let it go. OK.

Although it is not like the relationship with Mo Xiao who meets almost every day, Ingleff can be regarded as growing up with Mo You. He has two deepest understandings of Mo You. One is that Mo You never does things without purpose , Second, her purpose is very strange.

In this way, Meiyu was captured by Ingolf who arrived later, and during the days when Mo You and his party went to Iceland, Meiyu was kept in the prison of GST.

“Patter.”

“Patter.”

Through the thick walls, Miha could also recognize the sound of footsteps outside the door. The rhythm was fixed, and every step was exactly the same. There was no one other than Ingolf. Miu could even sense that Ingolf must be carrying a lot of other things, this is a skill she learned before she was infected with decomposition disease. At that time, she often relied on this unique skill to steal cakes from the bakery and distribute them to her younger brothers.

As the metal door of the cell opened, Ingolf walked in, as graceful and ruthless as ever.

“Ito Miha.” Ingleff said after closing the cell door without showing any expression, “How are you doing today?”

“Why do you keep looking for me, I really don’t know anything, I’m just a cook!” Mei Yu sat up from the bed and replied.

As Miha said, since she was caught in this cell, Ingolf would visit her every once in a while. Different from other prisons in the past, where torture and confessions were staged one after another, Inglef seemed to come here to chat. Meiyu even felt that Inglef treated her like a tree hole.

“So this time, you don’t want to tell me about eyeball recognition again…I’m really not interested in those things.” Meiyu complained thinking about the previous conversation.

“No.” Ingleff took out a well-wrapped iron box and put it on the table, and continued, “Today I will treat you to delicious food.”

Ingleff probably regarded Meiyu as a friend, and when the iron box was opened, the sheep testicles that had been pickled in advance were neatly piled up inside. If humans like to pickle all kinds of food to achieve long-term storage, then pickled sheep testicles must be the worst choice, and the film on the surface can make diners daunting.

Most people who are used to eating normal food will instinctively resist eating this thing, but for Meiyu, compared to the fragrant mud provided by the eternal dead, the pickled sheep testicles are already delicious enough.

“It’s meat!” Meiyu didn’t care whether the food in front of her was poisonous or not, she hurriedly moved forward, tore the testicles with her teeth, and swallowed them all.

She has not eaten mammalian meat for many years. In the eternal dead, the meat found by believers must be handed over to Mo You for her to eat alone.

She wolfed down a few mouthfuls, Meiyu seemed to have thought of something, she wiped her mouth, raised her head, stared at the benefactor who brought her food with sparkling eyes, and said seriously: “Thank you, I am willing to listen to anything you have to say, as long as I could eat this every day.”

“I really don’t have any close friends.” In the face of such kindness, Ingleff did not respond directly, but lowered his sapphire eyes and whispered, “The people around me are too complicated.”

“Yeah, keep talking.” Meiyu responded perfunctorily, and continued to launch a new round of attack on the sheep’s testicles, obviously still interested in the delicious food in front of her.

“Why do you think people should live?”

Looking at the girl in front of him in a stormy state, Ingolf suddenly asked a serious question.

Obviously, Miha had never considered such a problem. She frowned and thought for a while, before tentatively answering: “I, I don’t know… I just know that being alive is important. If you die, the bad guys will be happy.”

“Bad guy? Who is the bad guy?” Ingleff raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, “No, who is your bad guy?”

“The ones who wish me to die are the bad guys.” Mei Yu’s answer was very straightforward.

“Who wants you dead? Do you have any enemies?”

“It’s not me, it’s our enemy, the professor you’re talking about.” Mei Yu stopped chewing and said harshly.

Hearing this answer, Ingolf smiled. He leaned forward slightly, put his arms on the table, and began to tell a story.

This story is both familiar and unfamiliar to Mei Yu. What is familiar is the characters in the story, and what is unfamiliar is the story itself.

Time goes back to 20 years ago.

After the Iceland tragedy, in order to pave the way for his ideals, the professor searched for many so-called gifted children to train, and Ingolf was one of them.

But Ingolf was not recruited “regularly” like other people-he was kidnapped.

Ingleff clearly remembers that it was noon on Whale Festival, the holiday he most looked forward to as a child. You must know that the descendants of the Vikings attach great importance to such festivals. When the huge headed whale is dragged ashore, countless people will gather on the street to appreciate the whole process of slaughter.

Ingleff was no exception and occupied the best position early on. His small body let the crowd around him surge, and he focused on the scene in front of him. And when the rider stabbed the knife into the whale, before he could feel the excitement and pleasure, he was interrupted by a stabbing pain from the back of his neck, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn’t know anything.

“Did the professor send someone to do it?”

Miha grabbed another testicle and began to taste it.

“I’m the smartest kid in town.” Ingleff handed Meiyu a stack of neatly stacked tissues, and continued to tell the story. His gentle voice seems to be telling the scene in a fairy tale, making it impossible to associate the characters in the plot with himself,

After being stunned, Ingolf, who didn’t know the time at all, was awakened by a violent shaking. He has long been used to the difference between land and ships, and he suddenly realized that he was on a ship. Just like most children, in this strange environment, he instinctively wanted to run away. It was unclear whether there were strengthened people around at the time, but they were all adults hundreds of times stronger than him, and the result of running away was predictable. Know.

In order to prevent Ingolf from escaping again, the group of people broke his legs abruptly. At this point, Ingolf’s expression flashed with pain, but it was quickly covered by the iconic elegance. The breaking of his legs was just the beginning. Due to the pain and the violent shaking of the ship, Ingolf, who was curled up in the corner, would always make noises involuntarily. Unexpectedly, the group of people broke his left arm with an iron chain His right hand was tethered, and he was given low doses of anesthesia every once in a while.

Just like that, Ingolf, who was half awake and in pain, came here. When the professor saw him for the first time, he only said one sentence: “If you want to blame it, blame your parents. They don’t agree with me to adopt you.”

“It’s cruel.” Meiyu, who had a full meal, sighed with emotion.

Ingleff didn’t show any more expressions, but asked back: “What about you? You always listen to my stories, don’t you have anything to say?”

“Me?” Meiyu put down the tissue in her hand and smiled contemptuously, “Me? I’m just an ordinary patient with decomposition disease… that’s all.”

Just like most patients with catabolic disease, Meiyu suffers from the pain caused by catabolic disease all the time. Apart from the occasional feeling of paper tearing from inside the body, what she suffers more is the pain from the outside world.

These pains were endowed by the professor, and a series of extremely harsh terms were introduced after Mo Shixin completely took over GST.

The more Meiyu talked, the more emotional she became: “You know what? That food tax is ridiculously high! She just wants to make all poor people unable to afford food!”

“And the education tax!” Meiyu continued to complain about those disgusting clauses, “It is said that educational qualifications are linked to it, so that you don’t have to pay taxes if you have a high education. Waiting to die in the corner!”

Ingleff had heard about this a little bit, but in such a position, naturally, he rarely had equal conversations with these “lower poor people”, so it was the first time he heard people around him talk about it, and it brought him a very fresh feeling .

“Everyone in our town hates her. Every year, she recruits many young people from the town to mine ice; and after a short while, she intensifies and charges us a lot of scientific research funds, saying that she wants to build something Big guy, otherwise human beings will become extinct.” Meiyu became more and more angry, and simply threw the food in her hand on the ground, “We don’t know what we are going to build, and we don’t know if this thing has been built, why Mo Shi It’s ridiculous to charge us poor people for scientific research! We don’t have the money to go to the schools she built, and instead we pay her! Our town wants her to die immediately.”

He who had been looking at Ito Miha with gentle eyes, subconsciously turned his eyes away after hearing this accusation.

Ingleff didn’t say a word, and suddenly there was a trace of shame in his heart. Because he knew that the scientific research funds in GST had never been in short supply, God knows where the professor spent all the money.

At this time, the tall figure of the security captain appeared outside the cell, interrupting their conversation.

“Why, do you still have time to chat with the prisoner?” Zwingli looked a little annoyed.

“It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.” Ingleff stood up, nodded to Miha, and then walked out of the cell with the same steady steps as when he came.

“I want to ask you a question, did you already know about Jacob?” Ingleff asked after closing the door.

“It’s not very early, anyway, I know.” Zwingli replied unhurriedly.

“I refuse to take part in this mission. I hate the professor and want to keep this hatred until I die. I don’t have the strength to hate anyone else, and I don’t want to have any other emotions for the professor. Personally, I think this mission is very important to me. It’s too heavy.” Ingleff tidied up his clothes a little and then threw out his own opinion, “Besides, I don’t agree with Jacob’s plan, it sounds absurd.”

“Pay attention to your position, Ingolf.” Zwingli knew exactly how dangerous the other party’s thoughts were, “To be blunt, who is paying you? Who is making you make those disgusting machine monsters? You To know that someone is watching us.”

As if he knew that the other party would question him like this, Ingolf spread his hands and showed disdain: “I don’t want to be someone else’s pawn, it’s as simple as that.”

“Not standing in line means you are everyone’s enemy.” Zwingli warned sternly.

“That’s right, but I still don’t think Jacob’s plan is correct.” Ingleff revealed all of Jacob’s plans, and the elegant expression he had maintained all year round began to collapse, “What he believes in is the supremacy of human beings on the earth. Defeating the Red Queen is only the first step, and eventually he has to re-establish the thinking community proposed by Mr. Herman, which is simply backwards! Although I don’t understand how he survived, but this is consistent with what I heard from the professor Things went the other way, he literally betrayed his own ideals.”

“Obviously, this is Jacob’s conclusion after hard self-persuasion.” Zwingli showed a meaningful smile on his face, revealing a hint of pride in his words, “You have to understand first, thinking The nature of the community is completely different from the mistakes made by the former GST chief Herman, and Mr. Jacob is completely different from Herman. We will usher in a decentralized world, which is full of humanity.”

Ingleff, who was a little emotional, didn’t notice the subtlety of Zwingli’s wording. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: “It’s okay to lie to children like this.”

“We still don’t know much about the Red Queen.” After deliberating for a moment, Zwingli continued to try to convince the other party, “You have to know, they may come from the Convention civilization, and according to the information we have, they are not a gravitational civilization. .”

“Stop it, I’m not interested,” Ingleff replied coldly.

Sighing, Zwingli returned to his stern look again. He looked at the colleague in front of him who was clearly out of touch, and said bluntly: “Although I know it’s useless to say it, I still want to warn you, you In fact, the supervisory committee has seen some of the small actions. There are some things in this world that can be done, but some things are absolutely impossible. The former chief executive Herman made a lot of achievements during his tenure, but he did not do well in the matter of the thinking community. Made a mistake and died by accident. Although the professor revived the GST as a corporal, his behavior and life style after that have really crossed the line. Your Excellency must remember where the line is. The above is my advice. I will go to patrol first. “

After Zwingli finished speaking, he walked in the other direction.

Ingolf actually understood what Zwingli said. He understands where the boundary is better than anyone else, but he doesn’t know who is behind the boundary, why it becomes the person who sets the rules, whether it is a person or an organization.

Ingleff also understood the “little action” referred to in the other party’s words. He has since been to Icelandic waters many times, the scene of the accident that has been sealed off. Obviously, he didn’t come to commemorate those victims, but was looking for the bodies of these people with ulterior motives.

Because of the drastic climate change, the remains of those victims were frozen in the sea. After the professor left, he sent someone to dig them out one by one.

Inger’s original purpose was simple, to restore the corpses as much as possible, and then create an army of puppet victims to take revenge on the professor who ruined his life.

Killing and killing people, his plan is both vicious and clever. But he thought it was too simple. Many of these corpses were broken. The accident that year was not just a shipwreck, but also a huge explosion and radiation. Although he was disappointed, Yingge still instinctively looked at these corpses and the list of victims Made a DNA comparison. But what puzzled him was that he still couldn’t find the body of a person. That person was Lanna Kings, an energy economist, former Minister of Energy of GST, and one of the main leaders of the Icelandic scientific expedition team. berg.

After that, Ingleff didn’t dare to investigate any more. He was afraid that he would cross that boundary inadvertently, and then know something he shouldn’t know. The disappearing corpse would ruin his official career, and even ruin his faith in his heart. .

Ingleff took a deep breath.

Many things are no longer something he can handle with his own ability, and he understands this very well. However, he also knew that he could not accept the task that Jacob proposed at the meeting at that time.

Even if that thought aligns with that woman’s.

The meeting room was terribly quiet, only the equipment in the room was beeping, Jacob’s mechanical head was motionless, and he sat quietly at the end of the long table waiting for the arrival of the attendees.

This is destined to be a heavy and gunpowder-filled meeting.

The sound of the metal door being pushed open broke the dead silence, and Ingolf and Zwingli came to the conference room first. From the expression, it is not difficult to see that the two of them had argued about something earlier, but at this time Jacob didn’t care about the topic of their argument.

His red eyes fell silently at the end of the long table, still waiting for the holographic projector to activate.

“So, does Your Excellency Wakazuki Uraki have no plans to attend the meeting?” Zwingli asked the most pointed question as always.

“I don’t think so.” Ingleff responded seeing that Jacob hadn’t spoken. “After all, this meeting is very important to all of us.”

“Human beings are really complicated creatures. Your Excellency Ruoyue was appointed by the supervisory committee to lurk beside the professor for so many years. I never expected…” Zwingli didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone present understood the meaning of this sentence, “The so-called Loyalty is really worthless, and the supervisory committee should really reflect on it.”

“Oh.” Ingleff smiled disdainfully, ignoring the irony in his words.

The projector started up at this time, and the two of them sorted out their instruments and began to concentrate.

“Your Excellency Zwingli, long time no see, and the dog next to you, hello!” Before the video was fully unfolded, Ruoyue’s voice came over first, “Tsk, this device is a bit difficult to use, and it takes a while for projection Wait a moment.”

As soon as the words fell, the projector threw a sphere made of blue particles to the empty space next to Ingolf. Like a dandelion blooming, the particle ball gradually disappeared in the diffusion, leaving behind the image of Wakazuki leaning on the back of the chair .

“Wakatsuki Uragi, if you speak rudely to me again, I’ll make you into a voodoo doll.” Ingolf expressed his dissatisfaction solemnly.

“Okay, okay, handsome guy, you are still such a small belly.” Wakazuki Uragi said with a smile.

“Please pay attention to the occasion, we don’t have time to talk about the past.” Zwingli reminded the two of them from the side.

Jacob ignored the interaction of several young people, the rectangular head stayed in place, and his long mechanical arm dexterously slid the data out of the table, and four disc-shaped data packets were distributed to the hands of everyone present. At the same time, a series of red numbers rotated and emerged in the three-dimensional projection of the earth, followed by five or six light blue orbit lines rising from the red dots around the world, and then falling to the other side of the earth , which is marked with many complex timestamps.

“Okay, don’t copy it on the same screen, just send this new data packet to her.” After Ruoyue got the data packet, Jacob threw a new data packet, and it came out from the loudspeaker The voice was still the same as before, still so calm and dry, but it seemed to be a little more playful, “You can also join the meeting. As a scientist, it is necessary to observe with your own eyes.”

“Am I right, Mo Shixin?”

From just now to now, Jacob, who has not made any movement, finally moved forward along the mechanical arm connected to the ceiling, but the direction did not change, and he was still locked at the end of the long table.

Almost at the same moment, another particle ball was released to the other end of the long table, directly opposite Jacob. The particles dissipated, and the professor with crutches appeared in the venue, and the faces of the other three showed fleeting surprise. It seems that no one expected that Jacob would directly pierce the window paper.

“You are the ones who let me go, and you are the ones who let me come back. Is there any difficulty with GST, and you need me, a lonely family, to save the situation?” The professor laughed, “Since I left the group, GST has not been announced for so many years. The new executive officer, is it because of the withering of talents, or the inefficiency of the supervisory committee?”

“Mo Shixin, you need to thank the supervisory committee for not killing you for so many years. This planet is not big. It is very easy to find a ship with today’s positioning system, but we don’t want to do it.” Everyone doesn’t care about the professor’s slander. He is still so heavy and sharp, and there is no change from the way he used to interrogate the other party back then, “And about your crime, we have conclusive evidence, and it is not a false accusation. I hope you will not deceive yourself about this.”

“Winners and losers, I have nothing to say.” The professor pulled out his chair and sat down regardless of his surroundings. “But I hope you understand that without me, the group no longer exists, and many projects involving basic science are impossible.” carry out.”

Hearing this, as if he was facing a child who scolded his mother for being partial, the red light in Jacob’s eyes dimmed slightly, not as dazzling as before, and the mechanical voice continued to be transmitted from the loudspeaker.

“Oh. Do you have anything else to complain about?”

“Joke, am I complaining?! Without me, not to mention astronomical exploration, even basic medical care will stagnate!” The professor was obviously stimulated by Jacob’s words, “Please hurry up and get to the point, I don’t accept anyone accusations.”

Without paying attention to the ups and downs of the other party’s emotions, Jacob directly began to talk about the topic of today’s meeting. It controls the long robotic arm, like a teacher giving lectures to students, and begins to move slowly around the table, making a slightly harsh sound of ‘click, click, click’ in the quiet room.

“Thinking community, everyone here should be familiar with this plan. This plan can ensure that human beings can survive on the cosmic stage.” Speaking of this, Jacob’s mechanical arm knocked down on the table heavily, making a muffled sound, “This is also Mr. Herman’s greatest legacy to GST, we will realize Mr. Herman’s ideal intact and understand the deep meaning of it.”

“What a joke. Going against the grain will not yield good results. How did the Supervisory Committee create something like you.” The professor sneered as he dropped his cane to the ground, “You guys really let me down.”

“Mo Shixin, I hope you can think and judge calmly.” Jacob said unhurriedly, “Although I know that some things are difficult for you to understand, after all, you have not received a complete education. It’s not all your fault.”

“It’s not speculative.” The professor didn’t give Jacob any time to react, and then disappeared from the projection, leaving only Ruoyue to continue participating.

She was really angry. Jacob’s words not only offended the professor, but also offended the professor’s father.

Leaving without paying attention to the professor, Jacob continued to talk about future plans and arrangements. The meeting lasted about 2 hours, and Jacob also conveyed his thoughts to everyone.

The thinking community plan will be restarted, not only to deal with the coming ice age, but also to create a retreat for human beings after they fail in the confrontation with the convention organization. The first plan is to annihilate the remaining Eternal Undead organization first. After all, this terrorist organization is of no use to the GST or even the coalition government.

Secondly, Jacob affirmed the professor’s role in the Gherardini incident, and told Wakatsuki that if the professor cooperates with the investigation and submits the library’s research materials to GST, the supervisory committee can commute his sentence. GST really wants to find this alien queen. As for the purpose, Jacob did not explain, of course, there is the most important central chip in the whole thing——

The child named Moor, Jacob wanted to communicate with him very much.
