The Death Knell

After the New York Line 7 passes through the East River Tunnel, the tracks will rise above the ground. This viaduct has become a famous attraction in Queens.

When Deathstroke arrived on Earth in Marvel Universe 40K, Line 7 was already in operation. The 'Red Bird Train', whose front color resembled a red-cockaded woodpecker, operated from 1915 to 2002. It was also called the 'Flushing Local'. It has almost become one of the symbols of New York.

In that era, everything felt very slow, unlike now.

Fortunately, when Spider-Man physically blocked the subway on Line 7, the front of the train had already been changed, so no historical relics were damaged.

The United States has a history of more than 200 years. A 100-year-old subway car is of course a cultural relic. Maybe you can collect one?

He looked away from the train passing by outside the window and looked back at the two children showing off their ice cream.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Fu, I have a similar feeling to you. I feel like there is a thin film between myself and the truth, but I still can't see through it." Exhaling a puff of smoke, he didn't do anything inappropriate in front of minors. The self-awareness of smoking just said his own words: "Maybe if you figure something out, you can find CAAT immediately."

It's just this special feeling. It's not that there's a sudden surge of inspiration from heaven, or that there's some hint from a higher-level being.

But ever since he started investigating the CAAT matter, Su Ming felt that he was not very happy and had a special feeling of weakness.

At first, I thought it was due to boredom, so I played outside for a while to relax, but now it seems that this is probably because the opponent has given me some kind of DEBUFF.

It’s hard to describe it specifically in words. If I had to say it, it might be more like feeling the so-called ‘invisible ceiling for promotion’ in the workplace.

Well, actually Su Ming didn't know what it was. After all, he worked as a night shift security guard in his previous life, so he didn't have any workplace pressure.

"Yes, Uncle Slade, it feels just like what you said. Unfortunately, I don't have any inspiration now."

Soothing music is playing in the bright restaurant. Even if the street outside is still a little chaotic, it will not affect this place. The boy put down the little spoon in his hand and scratched his watermelon rind hairstyle with his hand. He looked slightly troubled:

"Perhaps everyone who is engaged in research will encounter the same trouble as me. After staying in the laboratory for too long, I gradually become lack of inspiration. When this matter is solved, I should take a break."

Hearing what he said, Su Ming found it a bit funny. After all, Xiao Fu, the cancerous universe, is still a child. Although he is much more mature, he has indeed been on the front line of scientific research for too long.

Even after leaving that rotten universe, he didn't seem to have had a proper rest. He was working almost every day, and all he could think about were problems that would have caused a lot of hair loss in other people's lives.

"You can rest if you want. Haha, I will give you a sum of credit points. You can spend them as you please." Su Ming, who has always been generous to his own people, immediately asked his lieutenant to transfer the money and give the boy a few million points first. First Huazhuo: "Maybe you can find a girlfriend and see if so-called love can give you new inspiration?"

Some people become stupid when they fall in love, while others become smarter. This change seems to be random.

"The so-called love is just an illusion, Uncle Slade, it's just caused by changes in hormone secretion in the human brain."

Xiao Fu was obviously not interested in finding a girlfriend. His little face was full of serious expression:

"If I have the idea of ​​reproducing offspring in the future, I may use artificial womb technology. The only missing egg part is that I will find a way to buy a suitable and excellent one, and even participate in your 'destiny' plan if necessary."

The Destiny Project was originally a joke plan, but later the adjutant actually came up with something, mainly about the biochemical modification of embryos, and of course it also included human cloning and gene editing.

"I always feel that you have made fewer detours in your life than others, haha." Deathstroke rubbed the boy's head, and had no intention of educating Xiaofu, but said: "This is your business, you only need to be aware of your own choices Just be responsible.”

Xiao Fu's past life was too dark.

In that universe, humans are born at the lowest level in the universe, and are the food and flesh and blood raw materials for countless families of the ancients. In this environment, except for the cultists who worship the ancients infinitely, how can anyone be willing to reproduce?

Even in a normal society, if a person knew that her children would be sold after birth, she would probably not be willing to reproduce.

This example may be a bit extreme, but responsible parents will not choose to have children if they know that they cannot afford milk powder and have no place to live.

This is the difference between humans and beasts. Some things require a suitable environment.

If you want to raise people like animals in a harsh environment and encourage them to reproduce at every turn, you can only say that people who think like this are real animals.

"I understand, uncle." After finishing the ice cream in Xiao Fu's hand, he took a new cup, ate the cherry on top first, and squinted at the sky outside the window: "Maybe you can go and find it again. TOAA chat? It maybe”

"No, kid." Su Ming interrupted him, holding his arms with both hands and leaning on the back of the sofa: "It must know some things, but it won't tell humans those things, especially... When that human was still me, do you understand?"

"Does it feel some kind of threat from you?" The boy nodded slowly. He was just talking. In fact, he didn't think this plan was very feasible.

Let alone the death knell, even if I go to find the golden man in the 'Idea Room', I'm afraid I won't get any useful clues.

Because TOAA is also a high-level existence for everyone, and its ontology is also at a higher 'mysterious' level. If there is really a way to deal with CAAT, then this method can probably be used to deal with it.

What kind of fool would hand a passerby a knife that could kill him? Especially human beings who are always manipulated by emotions and desires?

"There is probably no threat, because it still gave me a can of paint and showed me the steps of painting and writing." Su Ming touched his chin and took another deep breath of cigarette: "But this is the limit. , even if I, as the Supreme Mage, have contributed to the development of the universe, I have reached my limit in obtaining those."

Speaking of this, Su Ming suddenly felt like the reputation shopping system in World of Warcraft in his previous life.

If you don't have reputation, you won't be able to buy some things. It's quite realistic. Speaking of which, TOAA people are quite nice. In its eyes, humans should not even be considered bugs, but it still provides the possibility of trading.

This is probably to prevent yourself from falling to the first firmament?
