Chapter 38: About the Old Man (Part II)

"It is not difficult to get rid of the snake demon with the power of the General Administration of One City. ”

"The hard thing is the price that the snake demon will face after it is removed. ”

"That's why there is such an agreement in order to avoid this cost. ”

Wu Yongchu sighed when he said this.

Mu Bai frowned and asked, "What price?"

"Youkai don't all come alone. The establishment of the Rongcheng General Administration has been less than a hundred years, but the time that this snake demon has been in Rongcheng is more than a hundred years. ”

"Do you know what that means?"

"It means that the General Administration of Rongcheng has not yet been established, and when the city was still a slaughterhouse for monsters, the snake demon already had its own power here. ”

Wu Yongchu paused and continued: "The content of a certain agreement signed by the General Administration with the snake demon, because I am not of sufficient level, so I don't know. ”

"The reason for this compromise and the signing of an agreement with it is to preserve the power of the Awakened to the greatest extent. ”

"Once there is really a fight, although the human awakened will not lose to a big demon, but the big demon and its own power will make the awakened suffer heavy losses, as for those ordinary people who live in the fairy tale world in this war, I don't say that you also know what they will face. ”

"The unbearable price is a human life. In order to get rid of a big demon and its power, hundreds of people died, do you think it's worth it?"

"You can understand it as a model of hei society collecting protection fees, where the human awakened give benefits to the big demon, and let the big demon restrain himself and his own forces to some extent in a way that does not need to be done. ”

"It's called an agreement. ”

Wu Yongchu's words made Mu Bai feel an unprecedented shock.

He knew that humans and youkai were inherently impossible to come together, but he had no idea that the Human Awakened would make such an almost "compromise" in order to maintain the apparent harmony.

Wu Yongchu looked at Mu Bai, seemed to think of something, and added: "Don't think it's because the General Administration has no temper and doesn't dare to do it." ”

"Although there are not many new forces of the Awakened Humans in the human race with a huge population base, the fertility of the youkai is ......"

Speaking of this, Wu Yongchu pointed to the kennel on his left.

"Teddy can give birth to four or five in a litter casually, but how many have you seen humans give birth to so many at once?"

Wu Yongchu's metaphor is very social, but the truth is indeed that truth.

Mu Bai didn't feel that the Awakening General Bureau was very cowardly, as a member of the human race, he felt that the living space of the human race had reached a precarious point.

If according to Wu Yongchu, monsters are particularly capable of giving birth, then the number should be much larger than that of humans, and humans should have finished calves a long time ago, right?

Just seeing Mu Bai's puzzled expression, Wu Yongchu had already guessed what he was thinking, and he hit the nail on the head again: "People eat pigs, cows, sheep and crayfish every day, have you ever seen pigs, cows, sheep and crayfish go extinct?"

It's still a very social metaphor.

But the truth ......

It's still the same thing.

Mu Bai listened to it, and his little heart fluttered.

Although he had thought that he had an innate disadvantage over youkai humans, he didn't expect it to be so disadvantaged......

He suddenly felt a little desperate.

"Is what we're doing now meaningful?"

Finding that something was wrong with Mu Bai's face, Wu Yongchu also seemed to feel that he had said something excessive, he paused and said: "You don't need to be too pessimistic, although generally speaking, humans are indeed at such a disadvantage when it comes to monsters, but the top part of the human awakened ones is redundant monsters." ”

"Think about it, a monster of the big demon level is at least more than a hundred years, right? Even if the life span of the awakened person is longer than that of a normal person, how many humans can really live for more than a hundred years? If the age is the same, the strength of the human awakened person is often higher than that of the monster, but it is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. ”

"It's also a sign of some kind of balance......

After Wu Yongchu finished speaking, he smashed his mouth: "Not to mention the existing S-level and A-level talent awakeners of other human beings...... Let's just say that in front of me, an X-level talent like you, I feel like I've grown up to be able to fight 10,000 ......."

Mu Bai ignored Wu Yongchu's last sentence, and he fell into thought.

In the past few days, he had thought that he had learned a lot about this real world, but when he arrived at Wu Yong's side, in just such ten minutes, the information he obtained had already made some of his previous thoughts crack.

As for the "agreement", according to Wu Yongchu, it is actually a way for the human awakened to make peace with the great demon in order to minimize the damage.

As for the agreement that was reflected on the old man, Wu Yongchu didn't know the content, but because of the dream that predicted the future, Mu Bai had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight.

The condition given to the old man by the night bureau seems to be to make him a human ...... Kind?

Contradictions arise.

It's a monster whose food chain is higher than that of humans, so why should he become a human at the cost of accomplishing nine hundred and ninety-nine good deeds?

According to normal logic, people who eat pork do not want to become pigs.

Then the man-eating monster shouldn't think about becoming a talent.

Why?

Such a completely unclear question arose in Mu Bai's heart.

Because he really couldn't figure it out, Mu Bai was ready to put this issue aside first.

What he is more concerned about now is how the night bureau will deal with this matter.

Because the old man failed to keep the content of the "agreement" and killed someone.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Senior, this snake demon killed someone before, it should be regarded as a violation of the agreement, right?

"What do you think will be done?"

Mu Bai shook his head.

"The big demon who violates the agreement, the General Administration will kill it at all costs, and if every monster who signs an agreement with the Night Enforcement General Bureau easily violates the content of the agreement, then all the rules that have been so painstakingly established in the first place will no longer exist. ”

"But didn't you say before that you wanted to get rid of the Great Demon, which would cause great damage to the power of the Awakened?"

"Signing an agreement is indeed a fear of the big demon, but for the violators, we have no choice. If we don't get rid of the violators, and let the other big demons who have signed the agreement do whatever they want, the damage we will suffer will increase exponentially. Wu Yongchu paused and said seriously: "Do you understand the principle of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys? Whoever violates the rules will be responsible." ”

"Besides, although I don't know the specific content of the agreement of this snake demon incident, I know a piece of information from Liu, and the year of signing the agreement with this snake demon has been many years. ”

"After the big demon signed an agreement with the General Administration, although the content of each agreement will not be the same, it is generally the same. Within the scope and conditions required by the General Administration, neither the Great Demon nor its forces can hurt anyone, and for the Great Demon itself, the General Administration will also have clear restrictions, which will be slowly dismantled due to the different content restrictions of different agreements. ”

"It's been so many years since the agreement with the snake demon, and even if his power hasn't completely collapsed, there won't be much left. ”

Regarding Wu Yongchu's words, Mu Bai chose to remain silent.

He remembered the scene from that night.

The old man didn't really subjectively kill people in violation of the law, but was forced to the point of being forced by the man and the woman.

Not only did he violate the rules, but he also lost the opportunity to obtain the promised conditions of the night game.

Regarding the specific content of the agreement, he can only guess anything, and he doesn't know the most critical things left.

He didn't know why the old man didn't hesitate to complete such an alternative agreement and wanted to become a human being.

He didn't know how to judge the old man's right or wrong.

He didn't think it was absolutely right for the old man to kill someone, and he didn't think it was absolutely wrong for the old man to resist to such an extent.

Or rather, he thinks......

There is no right or wrong in this matter.

Children like to distinguish between right and wrong and good and bad, and in the adult world......

There are only pros and cons.
