Chapter 874: Deliberately Leaked Information
“Yes, Meng Chao. Now it’s my turn to tell you, take it easy and don’t get excited.”
Lu Siya said, “You should understand that the release of many structural contradictions and the comprehensive transformation of the strategic structure are imperative for Dragon City’s civilization.
“We can’t bury our heads in the sand like ostriches and pretend that Dragon City is really a paradise where everyone is united and there is no conflict.
“As with many things, the longer it drags on, the bigger the problem becomes.
“Dragon City’s civilization is indeed at its weakest moment right now, but in any case, the monster civilization has already suffered a crushing defeat, and there are no new enemies around for the time being. If we don’t take advantage of this precious window period to expose and resolve the conflict and successfully realize the transformation, how long can we wait?”
“No…”
Meng Chao stared blankly at the torrential rain ravaging the earth. He was silent like a clay puppet for five minutes, allowing the cold rain to turn into rolling steam around his boiling brain.
Boom! Crack!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the night sky.
It also split open the unsettling mist that had constantly shrouded the depths of his brain.
He widened his eyes and shuddered uncontrollably.
“Meng Chao, what’s wrong?”
Lu Siya was also affected by his emotions. She stepped forward and gently pressed his shoulder, injecting a stream of spirit energy into his body in an attempt to calm his restless thoughts.
“That’s right, Sister Ya. You’re right. Problems must be solved, and pains are hard to avoid. Now that we’ve won the Monster War, this is the best time to solve the problem…”
Meng Chao turned around, his face pale. He smiled at Lu Siya and said, “But what if we haven’t won the Monster War yet?”
“What did you say?”
A strange look flashed across Lu Siya’s eyes.
She did not even notice that her pupils had constricted slightly.
She pulled her hands away from Meng Chao’s body and rubbed her glabella gently to ease the piercing pain that had been lingering on her glabella ever since she had broken into the six-star Spirit Armor Realm. She also covered her face.
“Meng Chao, are you overtraining like me? Aren’t you being too paranoid?”
Lu Siya smiled. “We’ve annihilated and captured dozens of beast hordes, destroyed most of the monster habitats on Monster Mountain Range, and occupied the Hidden Mist Domain, the sinkhole, and the monsters’ lair. Even the monster mastermind has fallen into our hands, allowing us to study it.
“Before the rainy season arrived, the fog that shrouded Dragon City and Monster Mountain Range had become much thinner, and the spirit magnetic interference could not cause too much of a stir. We sent thousands of drones and armored airships to scout Monster Mountain Range from a high vantage point. We did not find any signs of large-scale beast hordes or Apocalyptic Beasts’ activities. After all, the resources devoured by the beast hordes and Apocalyptic Beasts were astronomical. Their existence would certainly have a serious impact on the surrounding environment, and it was impossible for them to hide perfectly.
“If this is not a perfect victory in the Monster War, then what is your idea of a complete victory?”
“I know, I know.”
Meng Chao paced back and forth restlessly, his teeth and nails deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. He was trying to clear his mind with the sharp pain.
As the bolts of lightning exploded one after another, his face became paler and paler, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
“On the surface, it seems that we have indeed won the overall victory of the Monster War. It is precisely because we believe that all the monsters have been eliminated and there are no more worries that the internal problems of Dragon City have caused the volcano to erupt.”
Meng Chao suddenly stopped walking and stared straight at Lu Siya. He stretched out a finger and said, “However, who said that the main brain of the monster has fallen into our hands?”
Lu Siya was stunned.
Then, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Meng Chao, are you confused?”
Lu Siya said, “Although you didn’t personally witness the decisive battle between my grandfather and the main brain of the monster, you went to check the scene under the leadership of Battle G.o.d, Lei Zongchao. Later, you established a spirit connection with the brain deep inside the monster mastermind and read a lot of information related to the monster civilization.
“Even if you don’t believe my grandfather and the others, you should believe your own eyes and memories, right
“No, what your eyes see may not be the truth. Memories, even if they can not be tampered with, can at least be blocked and distorted.”
Meng Chao’s fingertips trembled slightly as he said, “Of course, I know that Lu Zhongqi and the other twenty Deity Realm powerhouses were engaged in a decisive battle with the monster mastermind deep inside the sinkhole. No one knows the horror of that decisive battle better than me.
“The question is, how do we know that the one who fought the Deity Realm warriors was the mastermind—the creator and supreme commander of the monster civilization?”
This question stunned Lu Siya for quite a while.
“The other party was so powerful that even my grandfather and the others were severely injured…”she said hesitantly.
“Just because it was powerful it had to be the monster mastermind?”
Meng Chao pressed on, “Did it have to 100% be the monster mastermind?”
“Wait, it’s not a question of whether it’s powerful or not.”
Lu Siya thought for a moment and said, “It’s Jin Qianxi. The monster mastermind and the remains of Jin Qianxi’s brain were closely combined together. It even absorbed Jin Qianxi’s soul to grow to where it is today. You should be clear about this through reading the memory information in the brain.”
“That’s right. Jin Qianxi is the key. Jin Qianxi and the monster mastermind were highly bound. For a period of time, we even guessed that Jin Qianxi was monster mastermind!”
Meng Chao raised his trembling finger and snapped it hard. “The question is, who told us about this? Who implanted such a judgment in our brain—Jin Qianxi is the monster mastermind?”
Lu Siya pondered for a long time with a calm look on her face.
She still had a blank look on her face.
“Sister Ya, why has your thinking become slow? There’s no reason for you to forget about this.”
Meng Chao frowned slightly. “It was the Bubble Messenger who told us.
“During the battle in the Lair, in the secret laboratory under the headquarters of Golden Tooth, you, me, and A’Ji fought against the Supernatiral Ent.i.ty, Vortex for 300 rounds and killed the enemy with great difficulty. The enemy’s corpse turned into foam, and a human figure of Jin Qianxi came out of the foam to tell us!”
“That’s right!”
Lu Siya was enlightened. “That’s what the Bubble Messenger said.”
“That’s the problem. That’s the problem that has been bothering me for more than half a year. It has been making me uneasy, but I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.”
Meng Chao’s voice was as sharp as a knife sharpened by ice. “Why did the monster civilization send such a ‘messenger’ to tell us about Jin Qianxi?
“We are clearly sworn enemies. Why would the monster civilization be so kind as to reveal such crucial information to us?
“You must know that before the battle in the Lair, we still knew nothing about the true face of the monster civilization. We did not know their social form, the source of their power, or where they learned so much about the wisdom of the human civilization.
“Wasn’t it the most reasonable choice for the monster civilization to conceal the information and maintain the status of the ‘enemy being in the light while we were in the dark?’
“Why did they create such a Bubble Messenger and reveal the information about Jin Qianxi and the monster mastermind in such a hurry when there was absolutely no need to?”
Lu Siya was silent for a long time in the rainstorm.
“I don’t know.”
She quietly asked, “What do you think?”
“Information is also a kind of weapon. Usually, both parties will try their best to hide information about themselves from their opponents. If they intentionally disclose information, they must be trying to achieve some purpose, such as warning, threatening, or signaling a compromise.”
When they were drinking with Long Feijun during the first half of the night, the rain had gotten increasingly weak, and the dark clouds in the sky had gradually thinned. Meng Chao and the young officers from the Red Dragon Army all believed that the rainy season was about to end and dawn would arrive soon.
However, at some point in time, the rain had grown heavier and heavier, not to mention the pitter-patter of raindrops that fell on people like bullets.
Just by looking at the roaring flood in the depths of Mist Mountain, they knew that it was still too early for this world to be completely calm.
However, the cold raindrops had instead cooled Meng Chao’s scalding brain.
The path that he had found from the countless broken clues suddenly became clear.
“The human civilization and the monster civilization have been fighting for almost half a century. We both know very well that we are sworn enemies. There is no room for compromise or surrender between us. Any warning or threat will be useless.”
Meng Chao wiped the boiling rain off his face and calmly said, “Under such circ.u.mstances, any information that the monster civilization revealed to us on their own initiative can only serve one purpose—to mislead.
“Mislead us into believing that the monster civilization was only able to grow to where it is today because of Jin Qianxi’s influence.
“Mislead us into believing that the monster mastermind and Jin Qianxi’s brain remains have been tied together, and the two have long been integrated into one.
“It misled us into believing that as long as we killed a powerful existence that had fused with Jin Qianxi’s brain remains in the monsters’ lair, we would completely destroy the monster mastermind and obtain the final victory!
“But, is that really the truth, the whole truth?”
“Meng Chao, you…”
A surprised expression flashed across Lu Siya’s face.
She did not expect Meng Chao’s mind to be so sharp.
She reached out in the darkness.
However, a force pulled her hand back.
“Of course, we won’t believe the Bubble Messenger’s words.”
Lu Siya said after careful consideration, “But all of this is consistent with the information we’ve a.n.a.lyzed from the brain. Other than you, so many Deity Realm experts, including me, have read a lot of information from the brain. It’s enough to prove the relationship between the monster mastermind and Jin Qianxi. How do we explain that?”
“I can’t explain it. That’s another thing that shouldn’t have happened and can’t be explained at all.
“Why did the the monster mastermind leave such a complete micro brain for us to study and steal its memory?
“Even if the destruction of the monster civilization is inevitable, does the monster mastermind really lack the power to destroy its own brain and everything before the human beings charge into its lair?”
