1822 The Mystery of Tailless Monkey
“Do you believe everything Su Mulian said?”
Lu Siya was full of smiles and interest. She was not frightened by the terrifying future that Su Mulian had mentioned. She even seemed kind of of overjoyed with thoughts like, “I didn’t expect that in the future. I’ll really become the master of Dragon City.”
Meanwhile, in her eyes, the apocalypse was like a difficult problem that challenged the limits of her intelligence. Su Mulian’s repeated exaggeration of the horrific arrival had aroused her fighting spirit and interest.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. With a calm and deep gaze, he scanned Lu Siya’s face and body.
!!
Lu Siya frowned and asked, “Is there something wrong with my body?
“Oh, I understand. You’re thinking about whether the two of us will become the destroyers of Dragon City and sinners in history?
“Heh, I don’t think there’s a need to worry.
“First of all, what Su Mulian said might not be the real future. I don’t believe that someone can accurately see their entire future.
“Second of all, even if what she’s seen is a future that will likely happen based on reality and comprehensive data a.n.a.lysis, you’ve heard it yourself; under our leadership, the Dragon City civilization will be majestic and invincible!
“As for the ultimate weapon that the natives in the Other World have that can restart the entire ecosystem, well, I believe that the use of such a weapon has great restrictions, and there’s a heavy price to pay. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, the Other World’s natives wouldn’t turn the entire planet into a burning sea of fire just to end up becoming single-cell organisms like us, walking the path of evolution again, would they?
“Since we’ve foreseen a possible future through Su Mulian’s mouth, especially one with the ultimate weapon’s existence, we have to try and do something about it.
“There are still at least ten to twenty years to go. Can’t we think of a way to deal with this weapon?
“If we can’t solve the problem, what about the person who controls the ultimate weapon?
“I’m saying that the activation device of this ultimate weapon that can summon the light of destruction from above the sky has to be in the hands of someone on the ground. For example, the leader of the natives in the Other World, the high priest or high priest of the Holy Light Temple, and the like. If that day really comes, we can negotiate and launch a surprise attack while they’re unprepared. We can get the ultimate weapon’s activation device and control it. We can even break through the limits of our civilization and embark on a journey across the galaxy with the ultimate weapons installed above our atmosphere!”
Lu Siya was in high spirits.
Meng Chao continued to stare at Lu Siya in silence.
“Or are you worried about the problem of ‘everyone becoming monsters?’”
Lu Siya rolled her eyes and opened her hands. “Since ancient times, the form of human civilization has undergone drastic transformations in response to the changing eras. Ten thousand years ago, our ancestors were still hitting rough stone tools against the bones of beasts. But ten thousand years later, at the beginning of the twenty-second century, artificial intelligence, portable communication technology, and even the implantation of auxiliary chips and mechanical devices into the fleshly body of human beings, became popular.
“If an ancestor of ours from ten thousand years ago were to time travel to the beginning of the twenty-second century and see the streets full of self-driving electric vehicles, drones, and ordinary human beings with implanted communication and display devices in their ears and retinas, he would be dumbfounded and horrified with stone axes and spears in his hands. He would even think that he had mistakenly entered the world of a foreign species.
“Not to mention, the environments of the Other World and Earth are completely different. The existence of a super energy source like spirit energy has widened the gap between human individuals rapidly. If we can’t find a way for everyone to easily cultivate powerful strength, a few people will stand out, and the cla.s.s division and solidification will cause the Matthew effect to lead to more and more cultivation resources, as well as political power, to be concentrated in the hands of a few strong people… These are all unavoidable.
“Just as Su Mulian said, if we don’t solve the problem of the cultivation method, we’ll never be able to deal with the n.o.ble families. Even if we destroy the nine great n.o.ble families, new and more powerful n.o.ble families will spring up like mushrooms after the rain. Perhaps it’ll be the n.o.ble family that you created, Meng Chao.
“Under such circ.u.mstances, isn’t it the most convenient and fair way to take what the monster civilization left behind and arm the millions of ordinary citizens with the monsters’ methods?
“As for whether the monster civilization will make a comeback and take over our nest, you heard Su Mulian just now. I held your flag high and lived and died with the Dragon City civilization until the last moment, didn’t I?”
“Indeed.”
Meng Chao heaved a sigh of relief.
That was the only part of Su Mulian’s prophecy that made him happy.
However, before he thought about the future, there were some parts of the ‘past’ that he needed to confirm.
“I don’t care about the future, but the past.”
Meng Chao changed the subject and spoke rather abruptly. “I want to know if you left the mark in Tailless Monkey’s house.”
“What mark?” Lu Siya blinked.
“It’s the sign of Horizon Biotechnology Co. Ltd.
“Also, if you really didn’t know anything, you would’ve probably asked who Tailless Monkey is first,” Meng Chao said.
Lu Siya’s smile became stiff and awkward.
However, the awkwardness only lasted for half a second before her smile became even more brilliant.
“How intelligent! As expected of the man who will become Dragon City’s master in the near future!”
Lu Siya’s eyes sparkled. She did not hide her admiration for Meng Chao at all. “I thought it would take you at least ten days to half a month to figure it out!”
“That’s because you released Tailless Monkey.”
Meng Chao said. “If you kill someone and send his body to the garbage disposal plant, which is full of giant sandworms, I’m afraid no one will ever know what you’ve done.”
“How could I do that? If I do that, wouldn’t I be killing an innocent person?”
Lu Siya smiled and said, “Meng Chao, paper can’t hide fire, especially from someone like you… who’s great at creating miracles. I have no confidence in committing the perfect murder and hiding it from you for decades.
“And I know that although you’re easy to talk to in a lot of aspects, when it comes to the life and death of innocent people, you investigate the matter to the end and show no mercy.
“Even if we’re comrades to the death or even more intimate than that, once you find out that I’ve killed an innocent person, it would be business first. You’d send me to the court in person, right?”
