Earth Era

After the investigators asked this question, Xiao Yun fell silent, and then his brain began to work rapidly.

After a while, Xiao Yuncai said: "What do you mean by this question?"

"It's very simple." The researcher snapped his fingers, "We are trying to find out your special characteristics to explain why you are the only one who survived the attack of unknown alien life."

Regarding this question, Xiao Yun felt a little bit dumbfounded: "I'm sorry, your question makes me confused. I don't know whether I heard it wrong or you asked it wrong. I want to confirm it to you again: you doubt it, because only I personally think that some special materials on cold stars can help develop new computing chips, so those alien beings let me go? Do you think there is a causal relationship between these two things? "

"If all other possibilities are eliminated, then this is the only possibility left." The investigator said indifferently, "No matter how incredible it seems, it will be the only truth."

Xiao Yun spread his hands: "Why don't you think this is my luck?"

"We have carefully analyzed the surveillance data you brought back." The investigator said, "After you landed on the only planet in the Raqqa galaxy, numbered Raqqa B, you established a semi-permanent survival base, and the survival base There is a stable data channel between the base and the Stardust spacecraft in orbit, so everything that happens in the survival base is recorded and then transmitted back to the Stardust spacecraft. It is through The conclusion was drawn after analyzing these surveillance data. That is to say... we don't think you escaped because you were lucky."

"Why?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Didn't you feel this way back then?" the investigator asked, "Look here."

Another investigator accompanying him opened the instrument and operated on it. Then a three-dimensional projection image appeared between Xiao Yun and the two investigators.

The shooting angle was from above, so Xiao Yun seemed to have descended into the original nightmare again from a God's perspective.

The fear, anger, sadness, despair and other emotions in Xiao Yun's heart began to surge again. But at this moment, the researcher's indifferent and calm voice pulled Xiao Yun out of his memories: "Look here."

The three-dimensional projection image freezes instantly. In this picture, a man's whole body is glowing with metallic luster. It was as if some kind of grotesque insect-shaped metal machine was baring its teeth and claws in a certain passage. In front of it was a frightened Xiao Yun, as well as several teammates who had already died in the disaster.

Xiao Yun said sadly: "I remember that time."

"But you overlooked something." The investigator said, "You see... at this time, this monster can easily harvest your life - at that time, you have used up all the ammunition, and your energy weapons have been It can no longer be used. You can only use some primitive cold weapons to fight against the enemy - as long as it stretches its limbs forward, you will be killed, but... you are not dead. It's like they deliberately avoid it. Just like you, they just bypassed you and started killing your teammates... When you started to run away in panic, they didn't pursue you..."

As the investigators narrated, what happened in the past began to replay in Xiao Yun's mind again. In the past, Xiao Yun had never thought of this, but after the investigators said this, Xiao Yun also noticed the weirdness in it.

It seems...it's exactly what they said. Those alien monsters deliberately avoided themselves.

Xiao Yun felt that his head was a little messed up. After reluctantly thinking for a while, Xiao Yun said: "Maybe this is just a coincidence."

"Is it a coincidence? No." The investigator shook his head: "If this time is a coincidence, what about this time? What about this time? And this time... We found a total of eighty-nine times in the surveillance video. A coincidence. You survived each time, and in the end only you escaped to the warehouse where the spacesuit was stored. Then you relied on the personal flight system on the spacesuit to escape from the surface of Raqqa B to the Stardust spacecraft. And the rest People...all died."

Xiao Yun felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, his ears were filled with a buzzing sound, and stars seemed to be starting to appear in front of his eyes. But amidst this dizziness, the investigator's words still echoed in Xiao Yun's mind like a curse: "All are dead, all are dead..."

One coincidence is a coincidence, and eighty-nine coincidences... can only be inevitable. In other words, it was really those alien monsters that deliberately let Xiao Yun go, rather than Xiao Yun finally escaping by relying on his own luck and hard work.

But...why did they let me go? Why did I kill all my teammates, even my lover. Even my dearest friends were killed, but only me was left? Why am I the only one left? !

Space travel will last a long time. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find a lover or meet like-minded friends during the voyage. The time when the Stardust spaceship left was the happiest time in Xiao Yun's life. He had his lover and friends, everything was so harmonious and sweet. Therefore... the return journey of the Stardust spacecraft has become the most painful period in Xiao Yun's life.

"Why did they let me go?" Xiao Yun asked a little lost.

"I don't know." The investigator's answer was very simple. "It is precisely because we don't know that we are interested in some special characteristics of you. We are trying to find out the differences between you and the other victims, trying to explain your Survived. Obviously, your identity as an artificial intelligence expert is the biggest difference from others."

Another investigator added: "There are physicists, biologists, mathematicians, astronomers, psychologists, etc. on board the Stardust spacecraft. You are the only one who is an expert in artificial intelligence."

The first investigator continued: "So we're wondering if your identity allowed you to survive."

"But there is no reason..." Xiao Yun said in despair, "What does my identity... have to do with my survival? Even if there is a relationship between the two, how do those alien monsters... know about me? What about his identity?"

This is ridiculous and incredible. There is a lost world dozens of light-years away from the solar system. Before the arrival of the Stardust spacecraft, only two unmanned probes had reached there. No one before Xiao Yun's group had ever known about it. There is also some form of life there, but the monitoring data from the Stardust spacecraft shows that...the monsters there intentionally let him go?

Why?

Faced with Xiao Yun's questions, the two investigators remained silent, and the room returned to silence.

Those many scenes began to replay in Xiao Yun's mind again, from the initial discovery of traces of unknown creatures, to the unknown creatures breaking through the base gate, to the teammates starting to take resistance measures, to everyone except himself being killed, And he escaped to the warehouse, and at the critical moment, he used the flight equipment on the spacesuit to escape from the planet... all of this took less than two hours.

Two hours ago, this was heaven; two hours later, this was hell.

It was the experience of these two hours that made Xiao Yun know all the scenery on the planet Raqqa, including the thick clouds, the dark surface world, the creeks and lakes caused by geothermal heat, the rolling mountain peaks, the endless The plains... all of this will become a nightmare that haunts him throughout his life.

After a long silence, one of the investigators spoke: "Xiao Yun, please rest assured that we will investigate all of this clearly. Just three days ago, a large scientific research spacecraft was already on the five-ship Under the escort of the Tarzan-class combat spacecraft, we left the solar system and set off for the Raqqa system. With the arrival of these spacecraft, all the mysteries will be revealed. All we need is to wait."

Xiao Yun said in despair: "Wait?"

"Yes, wait." The investigator said, "The round trip of the spacecraft and the investigation will take about forty years, and if nothing happens, you still have at least four hundred years to live, so don't worry, everything Everything will come to light.”

Xiao Yun lowered his head and said nothing.

The two investigators looked at each other and stood up together. An investigator said: "I originally thought that telling you that "your escape was not due to luck, but because of the deliberate indulgence of unknown alien creatures" would remind you of some clues, but now it seems that in addition to making you more aware of the clues, There is no gain other than some depression. We are sorry for that."

Another investigator patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder: "I heard that you are an outstanding expert in artificial intelligence. You have won praises from many seniors at the age of less than a hundred years old. Work hard and you will have a bright future. Waiting for you... Life will always go on, forget the dark things in the past, there are still many beautiful things in this life, right? "

"That's it. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Let's take our leave now." The two investigators said, shook hands with Xiao Yun, then turned and left.

The sun has just risen outside. Xiao Yun opened the curtains and let the weak winter sunlight shine on him, his eyes full of confusion.

"Why on earth... did you let me go?" Xiao Yun muttered to the sun. (To be continued ~^~)
