Chapter 46: Peace Is Just Accidental
The long roar of the octopus monster made Ou Yangde have to exhaust the last of his primordial infant and spiritual energy, and use the "Ten Thousand Swords Talisman" to prevent his eardrums from being pierced by this long roar.
According to his previous experience in resisting demons, Ou Yingde had a hunch that this octopus monster might be using some kind of big move again.
But the follow-up support at this time has not yet arrived, and Bai Xiaofeng is already lying on the car with his life and death unknown.
"What the hell are the demon slayers in Y City doing to eat! I haven't driven here for more than ten hours, why hasn't their support arrived yet?" Ou Yangde was angry.
Over the years, except for the demon slayers in H Province, the demon slayers in other places have indeed slacked off a lot.
Ou Yangde was also relatively clear about this situation, but he didn't expect that the Demon Slayer in Y City would still be so useless in this critical situation.
The anti-demon department of Y City began to be established in the thirteenth year of Tianbang, and it was officially put into operation in the fourteenth year of Tianbang, and the criteria and relevant rules for becoming a demon slayer were disclosed.
Y City had never been attacked by monsters before.
It is rumored that this is God's blessing to Y City.
Until the meeting in the West Flower Hall in the twelfth year of the collapse of the sky.
At the meeting, Li Botao's old superior, that is, the owner of the West Flower Hall, had a long talk in front of the main leaders of senior officials in S Province.
"I think the theme of this meeting is already known to all of you. The master of the West Flower Hall looked at everyone with a smile, and pointed to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect sitting on his left, and said, "Master Wan Zhuang must be familiar to everyone, so I won't introduce too much." β
Because it was close to a private meeting, the owner of the West Flower Hall made it clear before the meeting that everyone was free to speak and say anything, but there was one requirement, no official words, clichΓ©s, and nonsense.
"Then I'll start with that. An elegant man wearing glasses was the first to speak, "I think the preparation for the establishment of the anti-demon department in Y City should be slowed down first." β
"Oh, tell me why!" said the owner of the West Flower Hall.
"I have a historical record data that shows that since the beginning of the Collapse Era, the number of times we have been attacked by monsters in the entire S Province has only been three times. Among these three times, there was not a single demon-level monster. I don't think it's a rational choice to invest my limited finances in anti-demon projects that obviously don't pay off. β
"Okay, since Political Commissar Zhao has said his reasons, then Secretary Zhang will also talk about it. The owner of the West Flower Hall pointed to a tall and thin man.
"I think Commissar Zhao has a point. As you know, Province S is a coastal city, and among the main financial expenditures, construction and prevention of related disasters are enough for us to drink a pot. If you add the anti-demon department, the salary, pension, pension, etc. of the relevant personnel will put the finances of S Province under great pressure. The tall and lanky man took a sip of tea.
"It's nothing more than a matter of money, you S province, you have to cry poor every time you have a meeting. The owner of the West Flower Hall seemed to be joking with the two, "At a meeting, what did the vice president of your second-largest commercial bank in S Province say? I asked you if there were any difficulties, and the people who were engaged in physical business, the Internet, and real estate had not yet spoken, and the vice president took the lead in saying that the biggest difficulty of his bank was that he had no money. β
This example drew a burst of laughter from the attendees.
"If you want to say that local state-owned banks have a shortage of funds for a certain period of time, this is a normal situation. But a commercial bank that is the second largest in the province said that it had no money without a red face and a heartbeat, and this was not just the wool that wanted to get the finance of the Beijing Division. After the owner of the West Flower Hall finished speaking, the room instantly fell silent.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a military uniform stood up and said with a full heart: "I am a soldier, I can clearly tell everyone that the war has begun!"
Everyone was stunned, war?
Isn't the war already over?
According to Professor Gu Tianduo, the war between Rulai and the Jade Emperor lasted for nearly 10,000 years.
Why? Professor Gu Tianduo's statement is actually wrong?
Outside the window of the West Flower Hall, there was a bird call of the warbler and the swallow, and the begonia flowers were blooming brightly at this time.
Sunlight shines through the carved windows and falls lazily on the carpet.
Where is there any war?
"I can tell you responsibly that the battle between the Buddha and the Jade Emperor is over, and the war between humans and demons has begun. The soldier continued, "In the early 80s of the last century, we began to prepare for the construction of the 'No. 23 Laboratory' in accordance with Mr. Wang Sihu's construction advice. Everyone must have heard of this laboratory, there are only two departments in it, one is the 'Battle Realm Project' and the other is the 'Barrier Club'. β
Everyone nodded, they had indeed heard something. But few people except the military know what these two laboratories do.
"In 1991, according to the plan, we 'invited' a certain gentleman to the laboratory, and he became the third test subject of the 'War Frontier Project'. Ou Yangde, the grandson of Liu Jianjun's political commissar in H Province and the eldest disciple of the owner of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, is the seventh test subject. However, due to the fall of the gods due to the dispute over the Jade Emperor, and the disappearance of all fundamental physics, the laboratory entered the stage of long-term equipment maintenance. The soldier stood straight.
The crowd was silent.
"Why do we spend so much people, money, and materials to build such an endless laboratory? As you must all know, at the 1961 meeting of the scientific group, three major themes were established, namely, 'deep-sea exploration,' 'starry sky gazing,' and 'theological research.' As if he was making a report, "It is precisely because of the emergence and development of these three major themes that we have a stable and peaceful environment." β
Except for the owner of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the West Flower Hall, after listening to it, the others all turned their heads and ears.
1961 is too far away.
The military's research projects are too far away from civilian officials.
"As a soldier, or a historian, you all know a truth, and this truth is that 'peace is only accidental, and war is the norm'!" on the soldier's resolute expression, a pair of eyes sparkled, "The establishment of the three major themes is based on this understanding. The subsequent expansion of 'Laboratory 23' is also based on this understanding. β
"But we do live in peace. Political Commissar Zhao said.
"By chance. β
"But, isn't it thanks to the protection of those gods?" Secretary Zhang wondered.
"Again, by chance. The soldier responded, "Professor Gu Tianduo's research has long shown that the gods in our mouths have no feelings for human beings, and the reason why they did not wage war against human beings is simply because they disdain to wage war against human beings. β
"Then you mean that the peaceful environment of human civilization is all accidental?"
"I need to emphasize again, for soldiers and historians, peace is just accidental, war is the norm!" the soldier's tone was a little heavier.
Everyone chewed on this sentence repeatedly in their hearts.
Obviously, this soldier is the owner of the West Flower Hall, and he shouted to persuade the leaders of S Province to build an anti-demon department.
However, what did the Ten Thousand Swords Sect do?
