Chapter 389: War and Peace
I see. ”
Chu Ge breathed a long sigh of relief.
He didn't expect that everything that happened in Lingshan City, as well as people's coping strategies, would have such an important significance, potentially affecting the decision-making of the Supreme Council, and even affecting the war and peace between the earth, the immortal cultivation realm and the illusion demon realm.
"Sister Yu, do you really believe in peace?"
Chu Ge stared at the smoke curling over the fire in the distance, thinking of the scene in the virtual game "Earth Warriors", his heart moved, and he asked subconsciously.
"In the beginning, no one believed in peace."
Chairman Yu looked at the brightly lit night view of the city in the distance, and said quietly, "At that time, the Extraordinary Association did not exist, and we, the powerful awakeners, were still the mainstays of various powerful agencies, we may be the special forces of the military, the special police judge of the Special Investigation Bureau, the Flying Tigers of the police, or the ace assassins of some more mysterious departments.
"We have never believed in peace, nor have we ever been peaceful in the process of establishing the Earth Alliance, and our superpowers are like hammers fused with our arms, making us see any problem like a nail.
"But......
"The more we fight, the more we discover the horror of this war, the more we achieve tactical victory, the more we get lost in the endless battlefield, not knowing when the final strategic victory will come, or, even if we drain all the resources of the entire earth, and the last drop of blood of the last earthling, the ultimate victory is still far away?
"Eventually, when we became deeply aware of the vastness of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Realm, and the horror of Immortal Cultivators and Magicians, even the bravest warriors among us were silent, doubting whether force could really solve the problem.
"What's more, our enemies are far more than just immortal cultivators and magicians, as well as ourselves—each of us is destined to become unrecognizable under the impact of the great wave of the era of spiritual energy revival, and war will accelerate our alienation process, turning us into even more terrifying monsters than immortal cultivators and magicians.
"Faced with such a bleak future, or even a future without one, we hesitated, wavered, and even retreated.
"We knew that from the moment we began to think independently, we were no longer destined to be suitable to be a small part of the war machine in our original department, so we took the initiative to withdraw from our original department, gathered together, and formed an extraordinary association, wanting to find another way besides war, so that our children and grandchildren can live in a relatively peaceful environment.
"You ask me if I believe in peace, yes, I believe - for I have seen the most terrible war, and the war that is coming, will be ten thousand times more terrible than the war I have ever seen, and it will be an intolerable hell for our children and grandchildren.
"So, until the final despair comes, I am still willing to give peace a chance, even if it is an extremely slim and faint chance."
"However, I ...... at the Crazy Cat Internet Café that day," Chu Ge hesitated.
"Sitting in my place, I have no choice."
Chairman Yu smiled bitterly, "Although I firmly believe in peace, but just shouting for peace will not solve any problems, if our path does not work, then we can only take the path of the 'sickle' Zhao Lian, and when the time comes, I can only choose 100% obedience." ”
“…… I see. ”
Looking at President Yu's clear and firm eyes, Chu Ge's heart seemed to be surging with a new strength, "In the final analysis, it still depends on who can solve the 'Black Lightning Case' and the 'Yanluo Case' perfectly, and then solve all the problems that arise in the Spirit Tide Outbreak cleanly!" ”
"That's right."
Chairman Yu nodded and said, "The hawks and doves are going toe-to-toe in the Supreme Council, now it's up to us to see who can deliver more 'cannonballs' to our side, and the best cannonballs we have made are the best cannonballs!" ”
"If that's the case, you can pay more attention to the road monitoring these days."
Chu Ge thought for a while and said, "Although I didn't catch Hong Lei, I met him on a narrow road and got some precious information from him. ”
"What?"
President Yu grabbed Chu Ge's hand and said excitedly, "What did Hong Lei say?" ”
He said he had followed Yan Luo and found the latter's lair.
Chu Ge said, "Although he didn't tell me where Yan Luo's lair was, now that we know the vehicle that Yan Luo is driving, and then take several underground game centers as a starting point and comprehensively analyze the road surveillance video, we should be able to find something, right?" ”
Chu Ge told President Yu about the conversation between himself and Hong Lei, 1510.
President Yu nodded again and again when he heard this, and he was a little unwilling.
"'Scythe' Zhao Lian only cares about his own tasks and uses the simplest and rude method to solve the problem, which will stimulate Hong Lei to escape."
She regretted, "If this case had been handed over to us, it might not have been so blunt, and maybe there would have been a lot of changes." ”
Chu Ge also thinks so.
But it's too late to say anything now.
He reported the ins and outs of the whole matter to Chairman Yu, and Chairman Yu was also quite particular, and did not deduct Chu Ge's contribution points because of Hong Lei's final escape, but still assessed the value of the information, settled a large amount of contribution points to him, and urged Chu Ge to go home early to rest, recuperate, and then make plans.
Chu Ge has been cultivating frantically for days, and today he encountered such a thrilling chase battle, which was indeed a bit unbearable.
Now that he had returned to the old city, thinking that he hadn't been home for a few days, Chu Ge said goodbye to Chairman Yu and returned to Happy New Village.
It was late at night at the moment, and the wonton shop at home had just finished a busy day's business, Aunt Bai asked several helpers to go home to rest first, and she took Xu Jun to clean up and clean up, and when they saw Chu Ge, both of them were surprised and delighted.
"Aunt Bai, Xu Jun!"
Chu Ge rolled up his sleeves and walked over naturally, taking a large bucket of pickled pots and pans from Aunt Bai's hand.
"Chu Ge, why are you back, let go, let go, you have a different identity now, why are you still asked to do these jobs?" Aunt Bai hurriedly stepped forward to pull him, where could he pull it.
"What's the difference in identity, in front of the two of you, I will always be me!"
Chu Gele said that he was quick with his hands and feet doing the work he was used to doing since he was a child, and he did not feel tired and buried, but had an inexplicable relaxation.
With the help of his own fame, the wonton shop at home is getting bigger and bigger, although it has not yet reached the level of "wrapping up the entire big shopping mall, up and down several floors" as he imagined with Xu Jun, but he has eaten the two surrounding stores and renovated them, and the kitchen is also bright and clean, which makes people full of appetite at a glance.
Aunt Bai and Xu Jun's complexion is also good, during this period of time to renovate and expand their business, they are very busy, but people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and both of them are refreshed and full of red light.
Especially Xu Jun, Chu Ge secretly observed his good brother and found that he was not immersed in self-pity, although he was temporarily unable to cultivate, he found a new goal in life, and also helped Aunt Bai stride forward on the new road, still full of fighting spirit.
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chu Ge, have you had dinner?"
Aunt Bai looked at the refrigerator, "There are just some leftover wonton wrappers and vegetable and meat fillings, can I get you some supper?" ”
Chu Ge still wanted to be polite, but when he heard Aunt Bai say about making wontons, his stomach was honestly and unceremoniously "gurgling".
He blushed and nodded, and for a while, Aunt Bai and Xu Jun both laughed.
The three of them did it together, and their hands and feet neatly wrapped the wontons full of a board, and Aunt Bai cooked it herself, burned a large bowl for Chu Ge, and filled it with egg skins, seaweed and dried shrimp, and ordered a lump of round and jade lard on it, and the fragrant aroma really hooked Chu Ge's gluttony.
Holding the wontons, squatting at the door of the store, watching the neighbors' shops busy there, listening to Aunt Bai and Xu Jun chatting about the recent changes in Happy New Village, as well as their future plans, and then eating delicious and hot wontons, Chu Ge felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart that could not be described with pen and ink.
Although the world of war depicted in the game "Earth Warriors" is full of impassioned heroism and thrilling battlefield legends, it is possible to make unknown people become famous overnight and become superheroes who are in the limelight.
But Chu Ge still didn't want to see the relentless flames of war devour everything in front of him.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is still willing to give 100% effort to pursue that illusory but incomparably beautiful peace.
