Chapter 547: Reunion and Reunion
Jiang Kaixu's heart was filled with a deep unease and worry. He scanned the city calmly, and behind the apparent prosperity, he saw that hidden dangers were on the horizon.
At one time, Yechin tried to realize the ideal of a utopia of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals, although the national model was small. However, his attempt ended in failure, and he even paid the highest price - his own life. This made Jiang Kaixu full of confusion and suspicion about Ye Ning's behavior, and he was always vigilant against the potential dangers that this seemingly beautiful world might bring.
What's more, his personal experience left him with deep doubts about the goal of this experiment. For fifteen years, he was imprisoned by demon beasts and suffered endless torture. During that time, he had a deep fear and hostility towards demon beasts, and now seeing that they had entered human society, it could not but be said that Jiang Kaixu felt extremely uneasy.
He looked at the children who were playing and playing, their laughter was innocent and bright, full of anticipation for the future. It's a pity that they don't know how many contradictions and crises are hidden under this seemingly peaceful surface. He was convinced that irreconcilable conflicts between different ethnic groups would one day erupt and the results would only be more tragic.
Jiang Kaixu clenched his fists and established a resolute determination. Although Ye Ning's ideals are contagious, he cannot ignore the potential dangers. All he had to do was to be vigilant and prepared for the storm that might come. No matter what difficulties await him, he will face them with courage because he believes in true peace, not false appearances.
Jiang Kaixu's thoughts were churning, and he realized that Ye Ning had enough power to protect the community, and even fight against any internal discontent. However, he also knows that force is not omnipotent, and what happens when a more powerful threat emerges.
He looked at the bats flying happily through the crowd and the badgers running street shops, who seemed carefree and enjoying life as much as humans. However, there was a deep sense of vigilance in his heart. Is it possible that among these animals that live with humans, there are monsters that have not yet awakened? Are those unknown threats waiting in the shadows for the right moment?
Jiang Kaixu decided to face this challenge bravely. He knew that he could not have such a strong power as Ye Ning, nor could he change his policy by force. But he can do his part to protect the city and the people he holds dear.
Jiang Kaixu secretly made up his mind and decided to speak with the facts, and in the coming days, he would actively participate in the work of monitoring these animals, especially those monsters that may have potential threats. He will always be vigilant, keeping an eye on their every movement to prevent them from posing any danger to the city.
Despite the challenges he may face, Jiang Kaixu has strengthened his resolve. He knew that he needed to make a decision to find some evidence to stop a possible crisis, to defend the city that he had also come to love, and even to bring down Ye Ning's theories and policies. He wants to make Ye Ning realize that fighting is the only way out, the contradiction cannot be solved, and only the only race can survive better! Humans don't have a symbiotic relationship with any living beings!
They each had their own thoughts, and soon it was time for the end of the show. Ye Ning settled Zhou Chen and let him stay in a hotel first, while he and Jiang Kaixu went to have a meeting first, about all what Jiang Kaixu had seen and heard in the past ten years.
With a heavy heart, Ye Ning took Jiang Kaixu into the high-level conference room of Tiancheng. Jiang Kaixu, the commander who had been imprisoned by the evil demon beast for fifteen years, finally returned to the place he once knew. His gaze roamed the room, every detail, every corner, it seemed familiar, but it seemed to be somewhere in ancient times. These familiar and slightly unfamiliar scenes made Jiang Kaixu's heart be overwhelmed by the warmth and changes of Tiancheng in an instant.
As he walked through the door of the conference room, the people inside noticed him almost immediately. Their eyes were filled with shock, concern, and joy. For a while, the warm greetings and inquiries were endless, as if everyone wanted to make up for Jiang Kaixu's past time and bring him a trace of human warmth.
"Jiang Kaixu, you're finally back." Someone shouted with joy. Some people stepped forward and clasped his hands tightly, feeling the temperature to make sure it wasn't a dream. Jiang Kaixu felt more than just their concern
and enthusiasm, and more importantly, a long-lost sense of belonging. This feeling made Jiang Kaixu's heart melt, and he finally felt the true feelings and warmth of the world again.
After warm greetings and affectionate memories, the atmosphere in the conference room fell a little silent, and all eyes were focused on the large wooden conference table. The brown backs of the chairs are neatly arranged, and each position has its own authority and story. Under the light of the room, the documents, maps and various instruments and equipment on the table looked so solemn.
As everyone sat down, there was an oppressive tension in the room. Yu Xuanao, the leader of the Heavenly City, a man with a lofty aura and countless honors and missions behind him, slowly stood up. His gaze penetrated the entire conference room, as if he could read everyone's heart.
"First of all, we have to thank Ye Ning," Yu Xuanao's voice was firm and powerful, as if it hit everyone's heart, "It was precisely because he was fearless and risked great danger that he rescued Jiang Kaixu from that treacherous area of the Western Continent."
After speaking, the entire conference room burst into thunderous applause. Every applause is an affirmation of Ye Ning's courage and an appreciation of his achievements. The voice lasted for a while, and it wasn't until Yu Xuanao stood up again that the applause gradually dissipated.
"Next," Yu Xuanao said slowly, with expectation and respect in his voice, "then let Jiang Kaixu tell me what he has experienced when he disappeared for the past fifteen years."
All eyes turned to Jiang Kaixu again, and every breath he took became the focus of the scene. He stood up slowly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but more of determination and courage. He was ready to begin his long fifteen-year story.
Jiang Kaixu stood there, his body looked a little thin, but his eyes were extremely firm. His voice was not loud, but it was clear to the ear, and every word seemed to be loud. He began to tell his experience of the past fifteen years, his encounters, his persistence, like a thrilling adventure epic.
At the mention of the demon beast named the Lion King, Jiang Kaixu's hand unconsciously clenched into fists, he remembered the lion-like giant beast, which took away his freedom and his youth. He was locked up in a dark cave, a world of monsters, without the dignity and peace that humans should have. He was tortured by the beasts, who beat him with their sharp claws and cold chains, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back. But he gritted his teeth every time and endured it silently.
He didn't give up because of that. He used his wits to mediate in the demon's territory. He observes the habits of demon beasts, looks for their patterns, and accumulates his understanding of them bit by bit. He waits for his chance, like a cheetah waiting for its prey, patiently and decisively. Eventually, on a stormy night, he opened the door to freedom and began this life-and-death escape.
Jiang Kaixu recounted his days in the wilderness, when he had no place to live, and could only spend every night in the wilderness, in the grass and rocks. He was lost alone during the day and alone at night, and it was the most difficult moment of his life. He often had to feed himself on grass roots and tree bark, and along the way, he could always see the trails left by the monsters behind him. However, even in the face of this, he never gave up hope.
In the end, he told everyone about the moment when he was rescued by Ye Ning. When he was about to starve to death, Ye Ning appeared, and like an angel, he redeemed his body and his soul. At that moment, he experienced the warmth of the world, and that love and redemption gave him a new life.
Hearing Jiang Kaixu's story, everyone couldn't hide the shock in their hearts and their admiration for him. They looked at this resolute ruler and their hearts were filled with admiration. His experience, his courage, and his persistence are worthy of everyone's deep sigh.
Wu Yu sat in the crowd, his originally handsome face looked a little pale at the moment, and the look in his eyes was much darker. Whenever Jiang Kaixu mentioned the atrocities of the Lion King, the corners of Wu Yu's mouth twitched slightly unconsciously, and his palms began to sweat.
In the past, Wu Yu had high hopes for the lion king. He once believed that the Lion King, as the best of the demon beasts, had extremely high wisdom and strength, and could become a bridge between humans and demon beasts, reconcile the contradictions between the two races, and create a new era of peaceful coexistence. He firmly believed that the Lion King could make an important contribution to the cooperation and reconciliation between the two clans
Offer. But now, hearing Jiang Kaixu's horrific experience, his heart is full of remorse and self-blame.
He began to question his own judgment. Could it be that his previous trust and expectations were wrong? Is the Lion King really just a cold, ruthless beast who doesn't deserve their trust and respect?
Wu Yu's fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly, and his heart was going through a fierce struggle. He once believed so strongly that the Lion King could be an intermediary between humans and monsters, but now he paid the price for his mistakes. The guilt and self-blame in his heart are indescribable, and every word and detail is like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
He didn't dare to look at Jiang Kaixu, nor did he dare to look at other people's eyes. He knows very well that at this moment he has become a sinner in everyone's hearts and has become the driving force of this tragedy.
