Chapter 581 A small shock
When Talia returned to the Minerva, Duanmu Huai and others followed her.
This time Duanmu Huai naturally brought Ojisi with her, and An also accompanied her. In addition to the two of them, Lumier and Mary also joined in.
The reason why Duanmu Huai chose these people is very simple. Aojisi must have taken care of her. After all, she hasn''t been with her for a long time, and her little cotton jacket has started to have a quarrel. On this kind of battlefield, we have to face large enemies such as cosmic monsters and mechas, so powerful firepower is very necessary. Under Duanmu Huai, only An and Gureya meet this standard. As for other people, such as Shizuka, etc.... it''s okay to deal with humans, but it''s still a little bit worse to deal with monsters.
But Gureya was very reluctant to contact strangers, and An was excited to see the mecha, so Gureya stayed on the mothership and An followed.
The reason why I brought Liumier with me is even simpler. The only top hacker under Duanmu Huai is another science fiction world. It doesn’t rely on hackers. Could it be that An uses magic to blackmail the federal network?
Another reason is that Lumier has a high-speed cruise ship, the goddess of White, that she brought when she and Ail were fleeing. This high-speed cruise ship was useless in the Inquisition and was therefore idle in the hangar. However, when I went to Minerva this time, Duanmu Huai also needed a vehicle corresponding to the mecha, so I brought this White Goddess with me.
After all... the Inquisition really has no similar unit, and Duanmu Huai doesn''t want to take a Titan...
The reason for bringing Mary is a bit complicated.
Because of the previous battle against the Reaper, Duanmu Huai has discovered that Mary''s golden eyes are really omnipotent, and scientific magic can''t escape her golden eyes. To be honest, Duanmu Huai really wants these eyes... It''s a pity that she can''t draw them, and all she gets is garbage.
There is no way. In order to maximize the potential of the Golden Eye, he had to bring Mary with him and told Mary to notify him immediately if he found any changes with the Golden Eye.
On the Minerva, Duanmu Huai and others also met with the crew above and introduced them to each other - well, they should be said to be worthy of being a pilot who has experienced many battles. Although many people were shocked when they first saw Duanmu Huai, they quickly recovered from calmness and did not panic.
After listening to Duanmu Huai''s self-introduction and explanation to the court, everyone''s expressions were also a little surprised.
“It’s really interesting.”
At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded, and then Duanmu Huai saw a blond man wearing sunglasses walking out of the crowd and looking at Duanmu Huai with interest.
"Sir, according to your words, the Inquisition is to protect humanity, right?"
"Who are you………?"
"I am Captain Covatro Bagina. Hello, Mr. Inquisitor, I would like to ask you a question."
“What’s the problem?”
"It''s very simple. I would like to ask, what basis does the inquisition use to distinguish whether it is human? Is it culture? History? Birthplace? Or genes..."
“There is no need to be so complicated.”
Duanmuhuai waved his hand and interrupted Captain Covatro''s speech.
"There is only one standard for the trial court to review whether it is human."
As he said, Duanmu Huai patted the skull mark on his chest.
“It’s the skull!”
“……………………………………………………………”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, not only Captain Covatro, but also others showed unexpected expressions.
"That''s right, for the Inquisition, the unmutated human skull is a symbol of human sacred purity. As long as the skull remains in human form, the Inquisition will regard you as a member of human beings no matter how messy your body looks. Conversely, as long as your skull is mutated and no longer sacred, it is a blasphemous heresy and must be eliminated."
Speaking here, Duanmu Huai''s voice sank, and his murderous tone immediately made everyone''s face pale.
"The skull... I really didn''t expect it..."
When he heard Duanmuhuai''s answer, Captain Covatro showed a thoughtful expression.
"This is indeed a very special angle, although I have never seen a human with skull mutation."
Hearing this, another young man with green hair frowned.
"But we have also fought with some aliens who look almost exactly the same as humans. In the eyes of the Inquisition, they are also humans?"
"certainly."
Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows and answered the boy''s question lightly.
"Maybe you have always believed that only you are human, but I''m sorry, I have to tell you that there are tens of thousands of human civilizations in the universe, and you are just a part of it, not the only one. As for the aliens you mentioned... I don''t know what planet they call themselves, but as long as the skull is still human, by the standards of the Inquisition, they are humans."
"No...why?"
“It’s very simple, because all human beings were once the remnants of the human empire.”
“………Ha???”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"You want to know? It''s actually very simple..."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai described the history of the human empire and how the human empire was finally destroyed.
"……… In short, this is how it is. Driven by the plan, the remaining human empire immigrants left the center of the universe and went to various galaxies to develop from scratch. Some people were unlucky and died by alien alien pits, and some lost their original technology and had to start developing again from the primitive period of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Of course, this was tens of thousands of years ago. The human empire has long been destroyed, so you can just listen to it as a story."
“This is simply incredible…”
After hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, many people were stunned and reconstructed their views. Some people couldn''t believe Duanmu Huai''s words at all, but...
"No, this will be explained!"
However, some people were quite excited, as if they had solved the mystery of the century. "What are you talking about, Miss Serene?"
Looking at the black-haired woman''s extremely excited appearance, someone asked in confusion, "You know, this lady is a very steady and mature person on weekdays. It''s really surprising to see her so excited and excited appearance."
"You may not know, but in fact, in the biology and astronomy circles, we have always had a question since the aliens attacked the earth, that is, why these aliens look so similar to those on Earth. No, not just their appearance, after genetic analysis, our genetic similarity is also very high, and the biology community has several opinions on this, one of which is that both the Earthlings and the aliens actually originate from the same race... but there has been no evidence to prove it!"
"This is also one of the reasons why the Inquisition uses skulls to distinguish humans."
Duanmu Huai nodded.
"During the human empire, many humans had to undergo some transformation or mutation because of the planet they live in. Therefore, the Inquisition used skulls instead of genes and appearance to distinguish whether humans were humans. Oh, there is a strict classification manual for the human empire on how to divide humans, sub-humans and aliens. If you are interested, I can show you. Of course, it may be useless to you."
"Please lend me a view."
"no problem."
“It’s really hard to believe.”
At this moment, even Captain Covatro showed a shocked expression, but soon, he withdrew his gaze and stared at Duanmu Huai.
"But haven''t you ever thought about rebuilding the human empire?"
“It’s not about the court’s affairs.”
Duanmuhuai gave a straightforward answer.
"No matter whether the human empire exists or not, the Inquisition has only one mission, that is, to protect humans and eliminate all heresies, aliens and demons that threaten humans. Besides, the human empire once had been destroyed long ago, and the current human civilizations have taken different paths and do not need our guidance."
"But in this way, what''s the point of our battle?"
Some people also raised questions in confusion.
"Aliens are also humans, just tell them what they say..."
"Is there any difference?"
Duanmuhuai shrugged and snorted lightly.
"On your planet, even on the same planet, aren''t there any wars between countries? In your eyes, the so-called war between Earthlings and aliens seems to be no different from the war between two countries in the Court of Justice."
"Well…………"
This is true.
And at this moment, a young man with black hair and red eyes stared at Duanmuhuai and asked.
“Since your court is fighting to protect humanity, aren’t you the justice side?”
"The Inquisition is the guardian of mankind, but not the messenger of justice."
Duanmu Huai looked at the other party and said lightly.
"Simply put, if humans need to invade other planets for some reason to plunder resources to maintain their survival, then the Inquisition is the pioneer. We will destroy all alien creatures on that planet that dare to resist humans - even if we are the invaders."
"Then, what about the war? Shouldn''t the **** who caused the war be eliminated?"
"I can understand your mood."
Looking at the excited black-haired boy, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"War is painful for most ordinary people. Everyone does not expect their peaceful life to be destroyed. It is indeed a sad thing for innocent people to die in war... But I''m sorry, from the perspective of the Inquisition, war is only part of the survival of the fittest within humanity, and we will not stop and intervene."
"What………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai''s answer, the black-haired boy suddenly felt hoarse.
"From the perspective of ordinary people, war will only cause pain, death and destruction. But ironically, from a macro perspective, war is also a part of the self-adjustment mechanism, will, ideals, and desire for the survival of the fittest. Everyone has their own different understanding of this. Some people expect world peace, some people expect to rule the world, but all this cannot be solved by quarrel. Only war...the final winner is qualified to decide the direction of human progress and development in the future, so war is inevitable. Moreover, it is precisely because of war that human weapons and military strength will rapidly improve. Isn''t the mecha you drive the same? If there is no war, perhaps your mechas would not appear. Then when external threats appear - such as the monsters of the universe, how should you fight against them?"
"This...but..."
The black-haired boy clenched his fists. He wanted to say something, but he couldn''t say it.
"I don''t ask you to agree with my point of view. As I said just now, everyone has their own different ideals and futures. If you think your ideas are correct, then do it. What kind of future you desire to create depends on you, and the Inquisition will not interfere. Because mankind has different futures, and which one can reach the end... This can only be left to history to judge."
“………………”
After hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, almost everyone present fell into silence. After all, Duanmu Huai’s shock to them was too great, almost reaching the level of reshaping their views.
"Is there any other problem?"
"I, I have another problem."
At this moment, a person raised his hand uneasy.
"That... I lost a front teeth. Could it be that the Inquisition was considered not human, right?"
“……………It’s time to go to the dentist, it has nothing to do with the court.”
