Chapter 344 Where Did You Get Your Clothes?
"You haven't told me what happened in the Great Void." Wang Ailin pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"It's very cold in there... That's all." Chen Ke said perfunctorily.
Van Hedley is indeed cold... It's so cold that Parker has to squat next to the campfire to warm himself up.
"That's it?! No, how did you get in? How did you get out? What did you experience in there? Did you get anything else? This is what I want to know!" Wang Ailin said anxiously, waving the notebook in her hand.
"Well... Let me think about it." Chen Ke saw Wang Ailin's anxious and angry look, like a child who didn't get candy.
Everything that happened in Van Hedley is not a secret to Chen Ke, but thinking a few more steps about everything can make people hesitate to speak.
The Research Institute and the Administration must have sent people into the Great Void, and they used the blasphemous dagger on the death row prisoners to have the opportunity to open the door.
Different Great Voids have different environmental landforms, and each Great Void is composed of several cycles. Without the ability to complete the cycle, it is impossible to obtain the last relic.
In some way, Chen Ke believed that the meaning of the existence of the Great Void was the last relic, such as the Ashes of Angele in Vanhedri.
That's the truth, but Chen Ke concluded that with the current research progress of the Administration and the Institute on the Great Void, they definitely didn't know these things.
They didn't even have a unified definition of the Great Void, after all, these people didn't have the ability to complete the cycle.
Even the H.C.P tin that Chen Ke met in Vanhedri had no idea what he could get after the entire cycle was completed.
The Great Void couldn't be part of time, it was more like a test, a level. At least that's how Chen Ke experienced it.
These things certainly couldn't be said in full. Wang Ailin was Diana's friend, and Chen Ke trusted Diana, but that didn't mean he had to trust her friends as well.
To take a step back, even if Chen Ke wanted to trust Wang Ailin, it was better to do less than more, and the best way to keep secrets was to let as few people know about it as possible.
If the people in the Institute and the Administration knew that he had completed the cycle, they would try every means to secretly arrest him.
In the final analysis, Chen Ke was afraid of being caught and sliced by the state.
Humans are social animals. No one can be separated from the services provided by society. Even Chen Ke, who doesn't need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate or sleep, cannot do without human society in terms of spiritual demands.
"Chen Ke, I'm also curious about what you did after you left to make such a big change there." Parker said at this time.
"Change? Do you mean that the Great Void will change?" Wang Ailin said sharply.
"Yes, there will be changes there. But time is still." Parker said.
"This is impossible. The research report on the Great Void over the past 40 years of the Institute pointed out that it is an eternal place that will automatically restore, and the black box space is also built on this basis." Wang Ailin said.
"I have no interest in black boxes and spiritual products. The topic of the Great Void ends here. Think about how to get out." Chen Ke interrupted their conversation and signaled to Parker with his eyes.
The three people have different positions.
Chen Ke certainly wants to keep the secret of the Great Void and keep a proper distance from official agencies.
Parker was in a state of confusion, and he would say whatever he knew.
Although he had been in contact with Wang Ailin for less than an hour, Chen Ke could see that she was the kind of academic idiot who would not give up until she had studied to the end.
In this strange world, knowing too much is not a good thing.
The three of them were silent for a while, as if they were testing each other's attitudes, and Wang Ailin was the first to break Chen's silence.
"We can wait for the people from the Administration to come, or we can try to go to the researcher's power station from the passage of the bottom 20th of the laboratory and try to restart the containment protocol." Wang Ailin suggested.
When the people from the Administration come, Chen Ke will not be able to leave. At that time, he will either surrender and be sliced, or make a big fight and become a wanted criminal worldwide.
"It sounds safer to wait for the Administration to come. They have enough people and are professional enough. Not only can they rescue us, but they can also restart the containment protocol. You see, we just wait here, how about it?" Parker nodded.
In fact, Parker's idea is indeed the best solution. The Administration can always take care of everything, and they should also be the ones to deal with this kind of mess at the Institute.
"We have to find a way out by ourselves. It's not a good idea to wait for the Administration to come." Chen Ke said.
Parker looked at Chen Ke, puzzled.
"Listen, Parker, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave when the Administration comes." Chen Ke said.
"Why? I'm just an investigator." Parker asked in confusion.
"No, you're not an investigator now... Parker, you haven't figured out the current situation..." Chen Ke shook his head.
Parker didn't understand yet, he looked at Wang Ailin blankly, wanting an answer.
Wang Ailin certainly understood what Chen Ke meant, and also figured out what Chen Ke was worried about.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Chen Ke. And why do you two look at me so strangely?" Parker asked, a little weak.
"You are no longer a human being, Parker... If you stay here and wait for the people from the Administration to come, you will have to live in the shelter for the rest of your life, and you may even be filled with various tubes from front to back..." Chen Ke spoke calmly, trying not to irritate Parker too much.
"We will definitely fill him up..." Wang Ailin glanced at Chen Ke, then at Parker, and said carefully.
Parker smiled awkwardly, looking at the two serious people, and for a while he didn't know what expression to put on his face to face this awkward atmosphere.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm standing here now, exactly the same as I was before." Parker said.
"No... You are different, you are dead, and now you are a ball of ash..." Wang Ailin looked at Parker with the eyes of looking at an experimental sample.
"I don't think I am any different from before... Look at me walking a few steps..." Parker said as he walked, but from his expression, he was already a little panicked.
"Parker, calm down. I have a question for you." Chen Ke waved his hand.
"What do you want to ask?" Parker said.
"Where did your clothes come from?" Chen Ke asked.
Wang Ailin nodded and said, "When your body was lying here, you were naked..."
Parker was stunned, touched his blue shirt, and suddenly remembered that he should have brought a gun.
He was a little confused, pinched his skin and clothes, pinched hard, and turned into a ball of ash...
"Do you realize it? Parker. You are now simply the incarnation of ash, a living ember!" Chen Ke said.
"This is too much... It shouldn't be like this! I should be a complete human being..." Parker couldn't accept the changes in himself.
Even in the extraordinary era, not everyone can accept the fact that they are no longer human. Those who have power may not necessarily change the world, but will be studied and controlled as aliens.
Unless the power is strong enough, no one can resist the wheel of the times and the social order established by humans for thousands of years.
