Chapter 780: A Friend with a Death Knell
For the first time, the citizens of Lingshan knew that under the world they lived in, there was such a kingdom with small sparrows and all kinds of organs.
The sight of the rats taking great pains to build cities, divide classes, learn languages and scripts, and raise armies with embroidery needles and bicycle spokes is both serious and comical.
And when people found that the influence of human beings has penetrated into all aspects of the life of the rat people, and the rat people even hang human portraits in the sacred halls, and worship humans as gods, they are even more excited and ashamed, and have mixed thoughts.
Think about it, you were originally just an ordinary office worker, a wage earner, every day, called by the leader, earning a meager salary, carefully calculating car loans, housing loans, tuition fees and groceries, you are an inconspicuous member of the crowd, just living is exhausted.
You are destined to make a name for yourself, almost no one knows you except relatives, friends and colleagues, and even if you pretend to be amazing on the Internet, you will soon be drowned in a sea of information.
As such an ordinary ordinary person, one day, you suddenly found that in the eyes of the rat clan, you turned out to be a god-like existence!
Well, now pay attention to breaking feudal superstitions, what gods and demons are fake, then, even if they are not gods, at least they are at the same level as "extraterrestrial advanced beings with vast magical powers", right?
Do you feel particularly proud and sacred, as if your boring life has been sublimated in some sense?
After the broadcast of this secret exploration program, the tone of support for the immediate, complete, and resolute destruction of the rat civilization on the Internet was much lower.
It's like a toy castle that a few children have worked so hard to build, as long as the adults are not psychopathic antisocial personalities, generally speaking, they will never think of kicking it up.
Not to mention, in this small castle, there are also photos of adults drawn by children themselves, especially spirited!
"The reason why human beings can rise above other beasts and become the spirit of all things is because we have the power of 'imagination'."
On the Internet, more and more people warmly welcome the rat civilization to go out of the underground and share the inexhaustible sunshine with humans, they said, "The more ferocious the beast, the less they like to live in groups, the tiger of the east mountain will not think that he has anything to do with the tiger of the west mountain, and the male lion of the northern plains will not hunt with the male lions of the southern plains, but will fight each other as soon as they meet, and they will never die."
"In addition to the power of the bloodline, they lack the power of imagination and fabricate an unbreakable bond with each other.
This is not the case with human beings.
"In addition to the inseparable bloodline, human beings can invent various totems, surnames, tribes, nations, and national concepts, and through these ethereal concepts, people who have never known each other or even thousands of miles away are connected together, and condensed into a united, indestructible, and invincible whole.
"This imaginary 'imaginary community' once helped the weaker cavemen form hunting parties against beasts far stronger and ferocious.
He also helped his ancestors who had just come out of ignorance to build the first cities and civilizations by slash-and-burn farming.
"It also helps modern humans conquer the land, sky and sea, and embrace the whole earth.
"Today, however, the 'imaginary community' has reached its limits.
"Seven billion humans around the world have united to fight together for the banner of the Earth Alliance.
"Even so, our strength is still far from enough to withstand the upheaval caused by the revival of Reiki, and not enough to help our civilization break out of the azure swaddling clothes and embark on the path of the sea of stars.
"Perhaps, it is time to break the boundaries of the 'imaginary community' again, just as our ancestors have broken the boundaries again and again, bringing different tribes, different surnames, different ethnicities, different beliefs, different skin colors...... Just as thousands of people have been brought together, this time, in the face of an unprecedented crisis, we have to pull the rat race and even more intelligent life into our camp to inject richer meaning and vitality into the concept of 'earth civilization'.
"Once upon a time, the united front was a great magic weapon for us in the East to defeat the enemy and be reborn from the ashes in the darkest era.
"Today, the united front of the human race and the rat race will definitely become the key element for our civilization to achieve nirvana and leap again, rushing out of the earth and rushing to the sea of stars!
"Friends, compatriots, looking at the universe, the Milky Way alone has trillions of stars, more than the amount of sand and gravel on the earth, but among the trillions of stars, we have not found any traces of intelligent life, and it is easy to find the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Illusion Realm, and the attitude of these two worlds towards us is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, ambiguous.
"The human civilization trapped on the earth is so lonely, and it seems that it will continue to be lonely forever, do we really want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reject the overtures of the rat civilization, and miss this most likely only friend?"
This enthusiastic and impassioned speech has been supported by tens of millions of netizens.
The opposition found that the tide was turning, and did not bother to say anything, but only angrily left a warning.
"Now, human civilization and rat civilization are still in the 'honeymoon period' that has just begun, no matter what we say, you stupid fools will not listen to it after all."
The opposition left a message, "But, believe us, the 'honeymoon period' will soon pass, and humans and rats will soon discover each other's intolerable shortcomings, and the best ending will be to fall into a cold war like a scumbag and a resentful woman."
"And the integration of the rat civilization into the human world will not bring about the impact and changes on human civilization that is not as easy as you imagined.
"The simplest example, if we admit that the rat people are all intelligent beings and have the same rights as humans, can humans still use mice for experiments in the future, and will the pharmaceutical industry still develop?
"Yes, now the rats are saying that they've never thought of the same kind of rats as their own kind - but is that possible?
"Think about it from another perspective, if human beings discover some kind of alien and actually use a large number of creatures that look exactly like human beings, but are born with low IQ, and carry out the most cruel experiments, won't human beings have instinctive hostility towards this kind of alien?
"It's just a trivial aspect.
"We believe that as civilization evolves, ambition will definitely continue to breed and expand, and the rat race will question and challenge humanity in more and more fields.
"One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the honorific title of 'Spirit of All Things' can only be worn on one head forever.
"Rejoice now, fellow citizens, for your kindness, kindness, generosity, and 'civility,' one day when the distant death knell rings, do not be surprised or doubt that it is for you that the death knell is to be sounded!"
This fiercely rhetorical and cynical message did not arouse much repercussions among ordinary netizens.
However, the attitude of the authorities is naturally not as hasty and casual as that of ordinary netizens.
In the past few months, no matter how much uproar the rat clan has caused on the Internet, and no matter how much their activities in Lingshan City have been made public in broad daylight and swaggering, the highest authorities have never made a clear statement, let alone officially sign any agreement with the Long Fang Kingdom in the name of the Supreme Council.
The Supreme Council didn't seem to know about the emergence of the rat civilization, and at the regular press conference, when a reporter asked about it, the senior parliamentarians also put on an attitude of "I don't know about it".
Only on the occasion of private communication, after drinking too much half-truths, several senior parliamentarians revealed their semi-official attitude to reporters who have known each other for decades: the revival of aura is an unprecedented upheaval, and there must be all kinds of new things popping up, for new things like the rat civilization, there is no need to rush to affirm or deny, it is better to let it go first, let it develop on its own, and wait and see the after-effects.
As the so-called "crossing the river by feeling the stones", isn't it for this purpose to set up thirteen special experimental bases for aura recovery?
Therefore, as long as the activities of the rat civilization are temporarily limited to Lingshan City, the Supreme Council will not support it, will not oppose it, and remain silent.
Many times, silence is also a form of unequivocal support.
The Supreme Council's statement undoubtedly put a gold medal on the vitality of the rat civilization for the time being.
