Chapter 57

The next moment, Mephisto leaned forward and brought his face to Qi Ming's face, and a sense of oppression like an abyss emerged spontaneously.

He repeated that sentence: "Are you starting to be disappointed in this world?"

Qi Ming steadied his mind: "Disappointed? I never held hope, but life must go on, and days have to be lived."

Mephisto's eyes turned red: "Then why not abandon those moral values that bind you and embrace supreme freedom with ease?"

His tone was strange, carrying a power that introduced depravity, making people unconsciously want to sink into it.

Qi Ming was slightly startled.

Red eyes, this is Mephisto II!

Is this going to be the same as bewitching Mizorogi Shinya in the original "Nexus" drama, leading me to become a dark dunamis?

Mephisto: "I am the 'you' you 'expect'. Come on, liberate your own heart, get this power that dominates everything, and create a real world."

Qi Ming: "A real world?"

Mephisto: "That is an era where everything will change. A world where only 'powerful guys' can do whatever they want."

"In that future where the weak are the prey of the strong, you with power can live happily and realize all your wishes."

Qi Ming was silent for a while after hearing this, and then laughed lowly:

"Calling wanton destruction of the world so fresh and refined, it is worthy of you."

"Realize all wishes... the guy behind you does have the ability to realize my wishes."

Behind Dark Mephisto is Dark Zagi, and crossing dimensions is completely out of the question.

"However, I refuse." Qi Ming spoke unceremoniously.

Of course he wanted to go home, but that didn't mean he would use any means to do so.

He is real, but the people in this world are also real.

Saijo Nagi's indifference, Aihara Ryu's mania, Shan Zhong's arguing, Huimei's cleverness...

These people also have their own joys, sorrows, and joys, and are living lives that exist vividly.

He has no obligation to fight for everything for the humans in this world, and they have no obligation to die to realize his wishes.

Everyone is equal.

There is no such thing as me transforming to repel monsters and saving this world, so I am a high-ranking guardian god, and you cannot have complaints when I ask you to "sacrifice" for me.

I fight out of the drive of my own moral values, not because I want you to "owe me."

"You say you refuse?" Mephisto was a bit surprised.

Just now he clearly felt that this human in front of him was a little moved.

"What I, Qi Ming, like to do most is to say 'no' to people who think they are right and think they can change my principles to refuse them!" Qi Ming's style changed.

"Then I won't be polite." Dark Mephisto saw that there was no talk, so he had to force it.

His body dissipated into a cloud of black gas and surged toward Qi Ming, wanting to enter his body from the seven orifices and nine holes.

This is... wanting to forcibly occupy his body and turn him into a puppet like the memory police 【Misawa Hiroyuki】 in the original "Nexus" drama?

This is actually easy to handle.

Qi Ming, who originally planned to transform into Ultraman Gaia, chose to tap the button on the upper left of the Wildcard to turn on the "Access DNA" function.

"No! What is this!" The next moment, Dark Mephisto, who had just appeared unfathomable, let out a scream.

The black mist he turned into retreated rapidly and fled outward, disappearing without a trace in a puff of smoke.

"Ran away just like that?"

As soon as the words fell, Qi Ming's dial rotated, and the main control interface changed.

Star-Gifted: 2.

Amplification: 6/10.

The new seventy-two hours hadn't passed yet, but the Star-Gifted points increased.

It seems that although only a small part of the black mist turned into by Dark Mephisto was absorbed, not even enough for a Star-Gift, and it was too incomplete to convert into DNA, the residual energy still made Qi Ming gain something.

"The obscure gaze that stared at me before should be Dark Mephisto."

"Next, it should be honest for a while, and I don't have to worry about being sneak-attacked from behind for the time being."

…………………………

After Dark Mephisto stopped making trouble, the "ghost wall" disappeared, and Qi Ming successfully returned to the maritime base.

"Vice-Captain Saijo, can you come out for a moment? There is something I want to consult."

Qi Ming greeted Saijo Nagi, who was bowing his head to write a report.

"Eh?" Huimei gave a soft sound.

"Eh!" Antian moved with great momentum as if he had discovered some gossip.

Saijo Nagi was very calm and went out with Qi Ming in a generous manner.

After arriving at a hidden corner, Qi Ming went straight to the point: "Vice-Captain, you were in 'TLT' before, right?"

TLT is the organization in "Nexus" that mainly discovers, investigates, researches, and eliminates space beasts, and incidentally captures dunamis for experiments.

In this world, the TLT headquarters is located in North America, and Saijo Nagi served there at the beginning, and was only "seconded" to TPC in the later stage.

Saijo Nagi was a bit surprised: "Although I don't know where you learned it, I'll give you a piece of advice—don't talk nonsense about this organization, otherwise it will only harm others and yourself."

Harm others and yourself, referring to being caught by the memory police to erase memories.

Qi Ming was noncommittal: "In TLT, is there a person named 'Ishibori Mitsuhiko'?"

Saijo Nagi: "I haven't heard of this person."

No? Dark Zagi didn't mimic him and lurk in TLT?

Qi Ming: "Then have you heard of 'Mizorogi Shinya'?"

Saijo Nagi's pupils shrank: "Why do you know this name? Everything is strictly confidential!"

Qi Ming asked back: "Guess."

Saijo Nagi: "Is it divination again? Or did you ask Huimei to hack into TLT's server?"

"Although I don't know why you want to inquire about him, TLT has confidentiality regulations, and the organization's internal affairs must not be leaked."

"Even if I am now the Vice-Captain of GUTS, I have no right to disclose information to you."

Qi Ming was not scared away by Saijo Nagi's stubborn look at all. He said slowly: "Today, I probably encountered something that Mizorogi once encountered."

The calm tone sounded like a thunderclap on the ground, making Saijo Nagi's face change drastically: "You... exactly..."

Qi Ming: "You first, please, let's exchange intelligence."

After experiencing a battle between heaven and man, Saijo Nagi still spoke.

She said that Mizorogi was once her senior and taught her many things.

In a previous operation, Mizorogi and she broke into a factory, and the two separated for special reasons, and Mizorogi broke into the deepest part.

Finally, the factory exploded, Mizorogi disappeared, and only she escaped.

"Later he appeared again, didn't die, but became a traitor and stood on the opposite side of us."

Qi Ming nodded after hearing this; this is the same as the plot in the original "Nexus" drama.

Mizorogi merged with Dark Mephisto in that factory and fell into darkness.

However, there is a doubt.

While the first-generation Mephisto hadn't gone offline yet, the second-generation Mephisto came directly to him.

Could it be that in order to deal with this intricate world, Dark Zagi chose to let two Dark Mephistos act at the same time?

Then, can two dunamis exist at the same time?

Double speakers?

Seeing Qi Ming silent for a long time, Saijo Nagi couldn't help asking: "Alright, it's your turn to say, what is 'encountered what he once encountered'?"

Qi Ming: "It's a demon. Mizorogi chose to sell his soul to the demon and fell into darkness from then on, and I refused."

"Be careful, he will appear in front of us sooner or later."

Saijo Nagi was not satisfied with this and kept asking.

But Qi Ming had nothing to say; the situation was becoming more and more complicated, and even he couldn't determine the changes that this "raising poison" world would produce.
