Chapter 330: Humans Are Still Monsters
"Meng Chao, your maturity and calmness have really exceeded my expectations again and again."
Ye Xiaoxing said, "That's right, although there are still such and such problems in today's Dragon City, but compared with the tremendous development we have made in the past half century, these problems are not worth mentioning, the achievements and contradictions of Dragon City are the relationship between nine fingers and one finger, the black sheep among those transcendental, and the insatiable among ordinary people, are also destined to be a handful, and cannot represent the vast majority of proud, rational, and united human beings."
"What's more, we never shy away from talking about everything.
"We sincerely believe that Dragon City is facing the history of human civilization, the great changes that have not been encountered in 10,000 years, in this turbulent and uncertain era, every citizen has the right and responsibility to think about the future of Dragon City, even if the problems and solutions thrown out are naΓ―ve, there is also the value of discussion and implementation.
"As you said, there are endless controversies on the Internet about the problems and future of Dragon City.
"In universities, in research institutes, in major enterprises, in the Transcendent Tower, the Red Dragon Army and the Survival Committee, more high-end and more intense seminars are also held every day, and everyone is fighting to find a way out for Dragon City.
"But all thinking and communication, there is a basic premise, we all sincerely hope that Dragon City will become stronger and better, we hope that Dragon City will continue to develop, and solve a series of problems in the process of development.
"Let's just say that you and Siya, even if you look at some issues from different angles, but at least, you both want Dragon City to be prosperous and prosperous, right?"
Meng Chao and Lu Siya glanced at each other and said in unison: "Of course." β
"That's right, as long as everyone is dedicated to fighting for the future of Dragon City, there is a basis for seeking common ground while reserving differences, and any contradictions can be solved by all means."
Ye Xiaoxing sighed and said, "However, this is not the case with some people with ulterior motives, they hide in dark corners, fanning the flames and intensifying contradictions, the purpose is not for the development of Dragon City, let alone for the benefit of ordinary people, but to completely turn the table and destroy the entire Dragon City."
"Lin Chuan and Gao Ye were originally very promising young people, and in time, they could become the mainstays of Dragon City.
Their thinking and a series of questions are not necessarily unreasonable.
"If they are willing to believe in the Transcendent Tower, believe in the Survival Committee, and discuss and solve it in the light, perhaps, they can really push Dragon City towards a brighter future.
"Unfortunately, they were all bewitched by people with ulterior motives, controlled by the psychic attack of the alien beast, drilled into the deepest part of the horn tip, and became the ideological puppet of the alien beast, and finally, with beautiful ideals, they did something that endangered the interests of Dragon City and the interests of tens of millions of citizens.
"Hayashi Chuan and Takano are not alone.
"In the past year, according to our monitoring, the infiltration of foreign beasts into Dragon City has become more and more serious, and more and more citizens have been bewitched by them, Lin Chuan and Gao Ye are only the tip of the iceberg that has been exposed, and there are even more harmful conspiracies brewing in the dark.
"We even suspect that the existence of the White Ghost is inextricably linked to the guy who bewitched Gao Ye, and hidden in the darkness is a large-scale, tightly structured organization, and the purpose of this organization is to use the internal contradictions in Dragon City to constantly tear apart all strata and interest groups, so that we can break ourselves.
"The main task of the special team in charge of me is to dig up this organization and completely dismantle the enemy's conspiracy.
"Now we don't have many clues, and this organization is very good at bewitching and controlling ordinary humans, relying solely on force, it is difficult to find and solve it, even if we invite three or five God Realm powerhouses to come out, it will be useless.
"On the contrary, Meng Chao, you are like this, you have ...... Young people with special intuition, even if the realm is not high for the time being, there is hope to find another way and find more clues.
"That's why I asked Siya to bring you here, hoping you can help us.
"Due to the nature of the special team, the need for an investigative mission, and the fact that you haven't graduated yet, this is not officially joining the Beast Investigation Bureau.
"But in terms of treatment, whether it is your own cultivation needs, or the development of 'Extreme Flow' or 'Super Star Resources', I will do my best to help you fight for it, as I said just now, we are happy to see you as a hero who is loyal to Dragon City and human civilization, wielding greater power and power.
"Of course, you have the freedom to choose, we don't know yet, how big the enemy really is, but judging from the examples of Hayashikawa and Takaya, the enemy is extremely mysterious and dangerous, and once you become the target of the enemy, I can't guarantee your 100% safety.
"It's still too late to quit, just sign a confidentiality agreement, and I'll let Siya send you back."
Meng Chao pondered for a moment.
The corners of his eyes sparkled.
After some communication with Ye Xiaoxing, the mission progress of [Mystery of the Demon God] has increased by another 1%.
Sensing the increase in contribution points, bringing about the pleasure of trickling between the spiritual veins around his body, Meng Chao said categorically: "Team Leader Ye, I swore to Lin Chuan that I would definitely find the mastermind behind the scenes, and continue to protect Dragon City in his place, as an extraordinary person, I was not 100% safe, I am willing to join your group to investigate the organization hidden behind Lin Chuan, White Ghost and Gao Ye."
"The question is, can you tell me unequivocally who our enemy really is?"
Ye Xiaoxing was slightly stunned and said, "Thank you for your selfless dedication to Dragon City, classmate Meng Chao, but we don't have much information now, and we don't know the true face of the enemy yet." β
Meng Chao stared at Ye Xiaoxing and said, "At least, you should tell me whether our enemy is a simple 'alien beast' or some other human being, right?" β
Ye Xiaoxing and Lu Siya glanced at each other and fell silent at the same time.
After a long while, Lu Siya said, "Meng Chao, do you think our enemy is a human being?" β
"The three small holes in the tail vertebrae of the white ghost are from human technology more than ten years ago."
Meng Chao said, "Although Lin Chuan and Gao Ye's ideas are extreme, they have a self-justifying logic, unless they have a deep understanding of human civilization and an in-depth understanding of the contradictions in all aspects of society, they will never be able to be bewitched to this extent."
"I can accept that monsters have intelligence.
"It's not unthinkable that even a monster, after training, can solve a Sudoku puzzle or outperform a human player in a game of Go.
"The doomsday beast in the wild environment, in the desperate struggle with humans, gradually understands the performance of human weapons, finds out the tactical cooperation of humans, and even learns human language...... I can accept all of this.
"But a monster, no matter how developed its brain is and how many secret methods of the mind it masters, without the help of humans, understands the concept of 'civilization' without a teacher, and can penetrate into all social strata of Dragon City without any obstacles, bewitching elites like Lin Chuan and Gao Ye, I really can't figure out how it learns, evolves, and disguises.
"So, there must be human involvement here.
"Team Leader Ye, if you want me to help you find more clues, you should at least tell me if the enemy is a monster or a human, right?"
Ye Xiaoxing tapped on his desk in silence.
After half a minute, he said with some difficulty: "Meng Chao, please forgive me for concealing it, on the one hand, we really don't have conclusive evidence, everything is just speculation, on the other hand, what I'm going to talk about next is the core secret of Dragon City, if you listen to it, you really have no chance to quit." β
Meng Chao said: "I didn't plan to quit originally, so, our enemy is really human?" β
"I don't know."
Ye Xiaoxing shook his head slowly and said, "We don't know if they are human beings or monsters now. β
"Them?"
Meng Chao's heart moved, and said, "You mean, there are many more like ...... Takano or someone like Dr. Sandworm? β
"No, they may be more terrible than Takaya."
Ye Xiaoxing pondered for a moment and said, "Meng Chao, I don't know if you have seen a very famous science fiction in the Earth Age, there is a plot in it that is like this, for some reason, several starships from the Earth are going to flee to deep space, and they will not be able to return to the Earth for tens of millions of years in the future, becoming a pure 'starship civilization'."
"The problem is that they set off in a very hasty manner, and none of the starships carried enough resources to support the humans in the starships to thrive in the dark and cold universe for the next tens of millions of years.
"The moment they realized this, they had no choice but to open fire on the other starships.
"Only by destroying other starships, killing everyone on them, plundering their resources, and concentrating the resources of several starships into one can we ensure the continuation of the 'starship civilization'.
"Have you seen this?"
This is indeed a very famous science fiction film.
Moreover, thinking about human civilization has a certain guiding and enlightening effect on solving the crisis faced after the Dragon City crosses.
Many Dragoncity citizens huddled in the Nest City, enduring the roar of zombies and monsters outside, and could only rely on similar ones to pass the time.
Meng Chao has also watched this one, knows the plot that Ye Xiaoxing said, and even discussed it with his classmates.
"Now that you have read this one, you should know that from the moment the 'Starship Civilization' was born in cannibalism, it embarked on a completely different path from the 'Earth Civilization', and the 'Starship People' who survived by killing most of their kind are no longer 'Earthlings', and are no longer even qualified to be called 'humans'."
After saying this, Ye Xiaoxing was silent for another half a minute before he said with some difficulty, "But have you ever thought that our Dragon City is actually a super giant 'starship' that was hastily launched to the other world?" β
