Veronica's statement confused Gao Wen a little.

"A single?" he frowned. "What does this mean?"

Veronica's eyes were filled with a trace of memories, as if it had sunk into the ancient memories of thousands of years ago. After a few seconds of contemplation, she said in a gentle and gentle tone: "I believe you already know that in the disobedient plan of a thousand years ago, the Baishuang sisters had accepted the employment of the Gondor Empire as consultants... This employment lasted for hundreds of years, until the demon tide broke out seven hundred years ago, when Firna Baishuang and Lerna Baishuang were secretly working for the Gondor Empire.

"The first time I saw them was in the vast palace of the imperial capital... a druid facility that studies the natural environment and species evolution. It was a pair of cheerful sisters. What impressed me most about them was that they kept laughing. They saw everything in the human world full of curiosity and had many bold ideas, which was very different from ordinary relatively conservative and old-fashioned elves...

"Sorry, I'm saying it's far away. It's like this when I fall into memories. I always think of too many irrelevant details."

Veronica smiled apologetically, while Gao Wen shook her head and signaled her to continue.

"They are indeed a pair of sisters, as I said just now, at the beginning they were indeed two people, until that accident...

"That was the stage where the disobedient plan had just reached the stage of preliminary analysis and contacting the power of the gods, also known as the first stage. In a certain experiment, we wanted to test an observation method that we had never tried. The rough process was to open a rift to the boundary of the present world in a highly closed room. This rift crossed the shadow world and the shadow world, and was infinitely close to the kingdom of God at a critical point. We hope that through this rift, we can achieve a certain level of monitoring of the kingdom of God...

"It seems to be a bold and reckless attempt now, but we were far less clear about the power of the gods than we did later.

"This dangerous experiment requires two operators, one operator is responsible for maintaining the cracks and one operator is conducting actual observations. Yes, you have guessed... it is Sister Baishuang.

"They voluntarily signed up, but the reason is undeniable: as twins, they have an extraordinary tacit understanding that can greatly improve the success rate of the experiment. If something really happens, they can quickly respond without communication, and their response speed will be much faster than ordinary researchers.

"I personally sent them into the laboratory...I watched them walk in, and the entire laboratory was completely closed under the control of the automatic system.

"Even the most powerful magicians cannot detect the situation inside through the strict protection system.

"After the countdown was over, the laboratory was opened, full of smoke and a storm of mana. I rushed in with people. The laboratory was already ruined, and among the ruins... there was only one scarred elf lying on the ground, and the other one was gone."

Veronica finished all this with a calm expression, Gao Wen couldn't help but frown: "Who is missing? Who stayed?"

"have no idea."

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "Don't know?"

"Their sisters' appearances are almost exactly the same, and outsiders have never been able to distinguish them. The laboratory was in a mess at that time, and the identification cards carried by the injured were also severely burned, so no one knew who survived."

Gao Wen couldn't help but adjust his sitting position: "What did they do later..."

"The one who survived sneaked out of the disease one day, she returned to the druid laboratory built by their sisters. Three days later, the 'Shelf Sisters' returned to the vast palace. The subsequent report showed that a large number of biomass in their laboratory was unknown... but in fact, everyone guessed the purpose."

"She created one for herself..." Gao Wen had already understood, "And what? You just accept it?"

"Sisters Baishuang are back, at least they say so themselves. They look like everything is normal. Although everyone knows it well, we welcome their return."

Gao Wen did not hide his surprise: "They... no, there is obviously something wrong with her mental state. Haven't you noticed?"

"This is very obvious, but among the disobedients, especially among the disobedients who are at the forefront, this level of mental problem is not a problem at all," Veronica smiled faintly, his tone was calm, but the content of the words was thrilling. "We are fighting against the gods, standing in front of those indescribable and vast knowledge, we are like a deep abyss, passing countless deadly and invisible truths at every moment. Sometimes, if we just accidentally glance at the wrong sample, or mention the wrong words at the wrong time, someone will fall into madness, someone will suddenly disappear, and someone will mutate and die...

"Before we have roughly mastered some rules, we have already paid hundreds of lives. Many people died silently, the cause of death cannot be disclosed, the merits cannot be awarded after death, and many people have fallen into permanent frenzy. Because they have mastered the knowledge of gods, they can only be placed under house arrest in mental control facilities.

"Even myself... As a former Gondorian, have you ever heard of the name Ophelia Norton mentioned in any book about royal history?

"In this extreme situation, every member who maintains his work ability is precious to the disobedient.

"Compared with those who are in the worst case, the Baishuang sisters are just a little paranoid...the symptoms are very mild, at least that was the case back then."

Gao Wen didn't know what to answer for a moment. From the logic of normal people, he couldn't imagine what it would be to let a person who obviously had mental problems continue to participate in the project, because the project itself was already crazy enough. So crazy naturally requires stronger rationality to fight against it, but...

Mortals are so fragile that sometimes they have to fight madness, which is not because they are willing to do so, but because they have to.

He believed that Veronica and the team she led must have thought about it seriously back then. Perhaps they confirmed that the mental problems of the Baishuang sisters would not affect their daily work, or perhaps they believed that the Baishuang sisters as consultants could have far greater effects than their mental hazards. In any case, it was a consideration and choice a thousand years ago. Today, he, and even Veronica/Ophelia, at this moment, could no longer comment on what happened back then.

Now he could only sigh afterwards: "...She might have just had a bit of paranoia back then, but now, she... or they have become a ghost of disobedience to the plan."

"...Everyone who participates in the first stage of disobedience is on the countdown to the madness. We will discuss this matter frankly on weekdays, because we all know that most members will not live on the day when they see the results, either crazy, die, or disappear into all kinds of strange supernatural phenomena... Even if everything goes well and survives safely, the lifespan of humans determines that most members of the first stage will not survive for more than two stages... However, elves, they live too long."

Veronica said, sighing softly.

"Maybe it's because the survival time is too long, or maybe there is no hope at all, the Baishuang sisters are out of control after all, but unfortunately... I don't even know if 'they' are Philna or Lern."

"I have a premonition that we will deal with that pair of 'sisters' sooner or later," Gao Wen shook his head. "This persistent ghost will not really remain silent."

"Maybe," Veronica pursed her lips, "So what else do you gain?"

"Technology, the technology of the end of everything," said Gao Wen. "We have recovered a large amount of technical data from that underground palace, as well as complete laboratory equipment and various samples, semi-finished products, specimens. These things will arrive at Pittman's research facilities in batches in the near future, but we all know that there is not only druid knowledge in it..."

"I understand," Veronica lowered her eyelids. "I will help identify and analyze the disobedient techniques. If a risk factor is found, I will remind you as soon as possible."

Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction, and Veronica suddenly looked at Gao Wen's eyes after a moment of silence and asked: "So after eliminating the risk factors, what do you plan to deal with the 'achieving' of the end of everything?"

Gao Wen glanced at the other party and smiled: "Of course it's for use."

"Even if they are created by the demise of all things?"

"Technology is technology. Of course we have to use it for useful purposes. People who commit crimes can only be humans. There is no point in judging tools," said Gao Wen. "Those flesh and blood magic used to create monsters are really chilling, but if used to treat wounded people, it must be very useful."

"But there may be people who are in a grudge and even privately criticize you for using black witchcraft. The ignorant will always have unnecessary fear of what they don't know. No matter how much people change in the world over a thousand years, they have never changed in prejudice and conservatism."

Gao Wen and Veronica looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Of course, these people always appear. It is better to blame their failures on dead things than to admit their incompetence and ignorance, but it doesn't matter - if ignorant, teach them, let them know the truth, if they can't teach, or make intentional trouble, then set rules and write a contract. I promise that they do not have to contact the technologies and derivatives excavated from the ruins of Solinburg. After all... In the stage of new technology application, our social resources are not enough. Some people actively want to isolate them from the new technology. Why not satisfy their loyalty that saves social resources?"

“…I appreciate your style of conduct.”

Veronica left, and the study became quiet for a moment. Gao Wen exhaled, moved his muscles and bones a little, and then prepared to return to work.

However, he had just picked up a document on the table, and before he could take a closer look, he heard a slight sound of wind passing through the window.

The next second, someone hit the window frame and made a loud "bang" sound.

Given that this is already a daily routine, Gao Wen had long lost any thoughts of feeling or complaining. He just stood up naturally, opened the window, and put the dizzy amber in.

As soon as Amber landed, she started to scream: "What are you doing when you are locking the window in broad daylight..."

Gao Wen had a expressionless face: "The weather is cold, and the elderly are afraid of the cold."

amber:"……"

"What's the matter if you're so anxious?" After successfully choking back the shame of all things, Gao Wen felt a little better and then asked seriously.

Although amber window jumping is a standard operation, window jumping is divided into different styles and situations:

Standing outside the window sill and studying the amber clip and locks carefully for a long time, carefully eliminating all traps and then climbing in the window is a routine operation, usually when there is no big deal, it is a daily report to report on work; jumping in in a hurry and accidentally stepping on the clip is an ordinary emergency situation, usually there is a report that requires Gao Wen to read it as soon as possible; and like now, it is amazing that he didn't even find a window lock that hit the window frame, Gao Wen has met twice-

The first time was to report that Francis II was assassinated, and the second time was to report that the aircraft tested by Rebecca had malfunctioned and fell from the sky and smashed Tyre to death.

Hearing Gao Wen's question, Amber didn't care about the details of being choked back. She was indeed here to report the major situation. After panting evenly, she said quickly: "The aircraft on Rebecca's side..."

Before she finished speaking, Gao Wen frowned: "Tir's unlucky sirens were killed again? It's okay, you know she can get back..."

"No!" Amber almost jumped up, and the expression on the short winter melon was particularly excited, "Flying up! This time I successfully flew!"
Chapter completed!
