Chapter 124 I am a space knight, do you believe it? !

"Your beer, sir."

The bartender brought Peter the beer he ordered.

"Coors Light, why not try something stronger."

Helen said as she looked at the beer in Peter's hand.

As she spoke, she pushed the drink in front of her towards Peter, "Or a tequila."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in cactus juice."

Peter said, looking at the wine in front of the other person.

"That's an interesting statement, but agave does smell like cactus."

Sitting next to Peter, she glanced at the surroundings and said, "You should be worried about the trouble that the Vampire Princess and the Blade Warrior will cause you. After all, you took the Queen away in front of them. Do you need my help?"

"Not yet. I should have a way to deal with them."

"Are you always so confident, Peter?"

"always like this."

Helen smiled and raised her glass. She said to Peter, "I hope your actions will not betray your confidence. According to our agreement, you should tell me everything you know, especially about the Queen."

"Are you sure you really want to hear it?"

"why not?"

Helen shrugged her eyebrows. "After all, I told you my story. Think about it, if I wanted to kill you at that time, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to you."

Peter pushed his beer glass forward. "I thought you were just trying to make a victory statement."

"I would not be so arrogant about you, Peter."

Helen stretched out her black-gloved hand, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "After all, you are so special. I won't treat you as an ordinary person."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Peter said to her, "But you are also special. For example, can I ask your age, Teacher Helen?"

Because Matt said that Helen's age is comparable to Captain America's.

So driven by curiosity, he asked the other party directly.

"Don't you know that a woman's age needs to be kept secret?"

The charming Helen glanced at Peter and said, "Especially to pretty women."

"No need to tell you, you'll know when the time comes."

Finally she answered Peter with this sentence.

"What is 'by that time'?"

Helen put down her glass and said, "'When the time comes' means, it depends on what fate has decided."

"destiny?"

Peter didn't expect the other party to say the word "destiny".

"Is it fate that we are chatting here now?"

Peter wondered why the other person's words were so similar to Mrs. Weber's.

"Yes, destiny cannot be violated."

Helen said, stroking the bottleneck.

She was warm and toasty, and the whiskey was doing its glorious work.

"Everything a person experiences in life is predetermined. God has already arranged our fate. Even this conversation between you and me has been arranged. No one can change it."

She paused and continued:

"You buy a cup of coffee, kiss your girlfriend, you think these are your choices, you decide to do these things? No, this is just the weaving of fate."

Peter frowned. "As a biology teacher, shouldn't you believe in natural science? Aren't you afraid of corrupting your students?"

"It's not a contradiction."

Helen's desire to talk was also aroused, and she said to Peter: "I once tried to control my destiny. I thought I could control people's hearts and make my mother fall in love with me. I did it at first, but soon she committed suicide in the bathtub."

She stared at the wine in the glass in front of her. "How ironic! She killed herself in the bathtub to save me the trouble. That way I wouldn't have to clean up the blood."

"That's very kind of you."

Peter added at the right time.

Helen ignored him and said, "I once tried to control a little girl. Do you know why?"

"do not know."

"Because her father is a beast. She is my neighbor. She is very cute. It seems that anyone can be her friend. And the thing that makes her happiest is her birthday."

"At that age, birthdays almost mean infinite possibilities: a tin full of candy, a toy box upside down on the floor. Only when you grow up do you realize that every birthday is like a turnstile, taking you further and further, deeper and deeper, and suddenly one day, birthdays become nothing more than possibilities and become completely inevitable."

Helen's eyes became deep, and pain flashed in her eyes, "But this child, she was only nine years old when she died, and she died on her birthday."

Peter became interested in Helen's story. "What did you do?"

"I tried to get her to tell the police what her father did to her. It didn't seem difficult. It might be difficult for ordinary people. After all, you can't just throw her to the ground or stuff her into a trash can. You can do whatever you want, regardless of whether it's appropriate or not."

Helen was lost in memories of the past.

"I was full of confidence at the time, and suddenly felt that this might be the meaning of my existence. If I could save a nine-year-old child from a beast, it would at least prove that I was not useless."

"and then?"

"Then."

Helen was silent for a moment and then said, "When the family was standing outside the supermarket and arguing, the little girl saw a coin on the road. I can still hear her voice today. No one cared at the time."

"The child thought 'pick up the coin if you see it', so she picked up the coin."

Helen's tone became indifferent. "The scene at that time is still imprinted in my mind. It is vivid. The SUV, the girl's body, her shoes."

After telling her story about herself and the God of Destiny, Helen flicked the glass with her fingers.

"This is fate's choice. I can't change anything. Even if I can control people's hearts, even if I kill that beast, I can't change anything."

After talking about something off topic, she looked into Peter's eyes and said seriously, "Okay, let's get back to business. Why does the 'Queen' obey your orders completely? Is it related to the parasite in your body?"

"That's a long story."

"I don't mind. I have a lot of time tonight."

"Even if I start from the origin of life," Helen nodded, "there's no problem. Don't forget that I'm a biology teacher."

Peter was silent for a moment and then asked her, "Do you know Prometheus?"

"of course."

"Prometheus was one of the gods of the Titans. He helped humans steal fire from Olympus and taught humans how to use fire. He was abandoned and punished by the gods, but as the ones who were helped, will humans not be punished?"

Peter slowly said to Helen: "We are the descendants of Prometheus. The punishment he had to suffer was naturally grafted onto humans."

Helen didn't know why Peter mentioned Prometheus.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

"There is a race called 'Space Knights' in outer space. Due to an unintentional operation, one of them, I call him 'Prometheus', created humans after he came to Earth."

Peter says something that confuses Helen.

She had never heard of such human origins.

Is this Peter deceiving himself?
"Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"

Peter was, of course, talking nonsense.

What he said was completely the origin story of the alien world and had nothing to do with the Marvel world.

But even though he was talking nonsense, he didn't look guilty at all.

"When will the Space Knights visit Earth?"

Helen decided to refute the other party with her own biology.

"About 3 million years ago."

Peter said calmly: "A mural dating back 35,000 years was discovered on the Isle of Skye in Scotland - a giant pointing at the stars. This mural records their visit to Earth."

In the alien world of the previous life, there was naturally this mural.

But in this world, Peter couldn't guarantee it, but he estimated that the woman would not directly verify it at this time.

"Around 3 million years ago, the Earth should have entered a cold era, during which plants began to grow on land and spread, and salamanders emerged from the water."

Helen fell into deep thought.

Peter continued, "In order to destroy humanity, the Space Jockey created a deadly biological weapon - the protozoan, which is stored in a cylindrical petri dish in the form of a black liquid."

"This protozoon is very sensitive to the surrounding environment. Any slight environmental change can trigger the protozoon in the culture dish, causing it to leak out. Once an organism comes into contact with the protozoon, it will be infected, causing the organism to become rigid, have a strong growth ability, and become aggressive."

Peter paused for a moment, looked out the window at the dark night, and said:

"Due to the DNA optimization and selection characteristics of protozoa, when protozoa attach to organisms, their structures will mutate and take on the morphology of the host."

Helen raised her head and looked at Peter with a suspicious look.

The existence of this protist does make some sense.

However, it is quite difficult to realize.

Peter didn't notice Helen's expression and continued, "They created protozoa, tiny formless genetic bodies that, like viruses, infect different species and turn them into zombies and become aggressive."

"etc."

Helen asked Peter in confusion: "Why do they want to kill humans? Didn't they create us?"

Peter said calmly:
"First, a space knight who was exiled to the barren Earth led to the emergence of highly intelligent humans on this planet. Humans should not have been created."

"Secondly, the Space Knights have a purpose, including changing the Earth's atmosphere so that it can become their own race's new home in the future. They want to breed a kind of experimental human with the same genetic structure as themselves. When the time comes for the race to occupy the Earth, humans will no longer have any meaning to exist."

After explaining to the other party, Peter drank the light beer in the glass, "Prometheus, who stole the fire, created human beings, and human beings are destined to be punished and destroyed no matter what. The way to destroy human beings is this terrible creature."

After hearing Peter's brief account, Helen was shocked.

If Peter wasn't lying, then this race of space knights was indeed abominable.

Could it be that the “Queen” is this creature that destroys humanity?

She looked at Peter and asked, "Why can it reproduce through spores? And this virus only makes human bodies zombified, why would a 'Queen' be born?"

"I have a protozoan embryo in my body. After the embryo was born, it spit out reproductive bodies. After you were parasitized by it, it absorbed some of your and my DNA genes, and finally broke out of your body."

Peter said nonsense to the other party.

These are of course not real.

The birth process of aliens is countless times more complicated than this.

In the alien world of his previous life, the Space Knight created aliens in order to destroy humans, but it led to the destruction of his own race by humans.

Humans created bionic people, but the bionic people used humans for experiments, leading to the future destruction of humanity.

It's really ironic that the creator was destroyed by the creatures he created.

Helen frowned and asked Peter: "Why do you know this? Also, why do you have this protozoan in your body?"

Peter asked the bartender to bring him another beer and said to Helen, "It's simple, because I am the one chosen by the Space Knight to destroy the earth, but I am not very interested in it."

Helen frowned immediately after hearing what Peter said.

After hearing what the other party said, she began to suspect that this was a lie Peter was telling her.

"Are you writing science fiction, Peter? Or the old-fashioned British novels, with the complexity of reality. Everyone in the novel is looking for an answer: where do we come from? It seems like a simple question, but it is always troubling people, and then all kinds of stories are made up."

"Believe it or not."

Peter said lazily: "Anyway, I kept my promise and told you the truth. Whether you choose to believe it or not has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Helen was doubting herself, Peter continued, "I will take the Queen away. The Space Knights must not know about its birth, otherwise they will come to destroy the Earth in advance. For the safety of the Earth and mankind, you don't have to thank me."

After making up a half-true story, Peter put down his glass and walked out.

Although Helen suspected that the other party was lying to her, the details Peter described were very true.

Also, is there really a scene of this group of space knights visiting the Earth on the Isle of Skye in Scotland?
She fell into deep doubt.

Looking up and seeing Peter leaving, she wanted to take back control of the "Queen".

But then I thought, what if what the other person said is true?

After all, Peter can really control the "Queen", and this incredible body-breaking creature has been born, so what else is impossible?

Helen was in hesitation. She watched Peter's back as he left and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Well, whether it's true or not, Peter, you can't get away with it."
