Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1827

1827 The Debate About Monsters

“Wonderful, what wonderful reasoning. From catching the small clues to getting close to the truth, Meng Chao, you surprise me time and time again!”

Lu Siya smiled and said, “Although all of this is just your speculation without any evidence, I can choose not to refute it. What exactly does a person need to do to refute someone else’s baseless accusation?

“If it were anyone other than you who made such an accusation against me, I would certainly be p.i.s.sed and I wouldn’t bother to say a word to him.

“I’m willing to accept the suspicion only because it’s coming from you. I’m even willing to have a pure confrontation of thoughts with you without any evidence.

!!

“Even if—please note that I’m talking about a big ‘if’—the monster mastermind, which has seemingly disappeared, still has ten-thousandth of its power left in my body and there’s a tiny possibility that it can be revived, so what?

“It wasn’t my intention to be possessed by the monster mastermind. After I became a wild banshee, I never hurt anyone… oh, except that time I knocked you off the cliff into the Raging Tiger River to protect you. If you think that I’ve hurt you, then punish me personally. I’ll definitely face my punishment and accept it.

“Aside from that, I don’t feel that I’ve done anything to let you down, let Dragon City down, or let the millions of ordinary people living in Dragon City down. May I ask, what crime have I committed? Or rather, what harm will my existence cause to Dragon City?

“Even if—remember that I’m still emphasizing the ‘if’ here—the future that Su Mulian saw has some reference value, I didn’t betray Dragon City in this future where the National Monster Transformation had been implemented. Instead, I fought with this land that raised me to the last moment. Is there anything wrong with that?

“Besides, I don’t believe that the future can be predicted. Perhaps, we can only predict one, or at most, a few possibilities of the future. Those possibilities are only a tiny, insignificant part of the billions of possibilities for future development.

“If the future has been determined a long time ago, what’s the point of all our efforts right now? Are we all puppets manipulated by fate? Are we only allowed to follow the rules step by step and pretend that we’re moving forward on a path that’s been marked with an invisible hand by a certain existence higher than us?

“If that’s the case, then isn’t such a future, such reality, and such a fate a hundred times more terrifying than the fact that I was possessed by the monster’s mastermind?

“Do you really believe that in the near future, I’ll be the main culprit who’ll cause Dragon City’s destruction? So, as long as you kill me in advance, or make an accusation and put me in prison and the laboratories so that I never see the light of day, you’ll be able to prevent the apocalypse?”

Lu Siya’s words made Meng Chao fall into deep thought.

He thought of the apocalyptic scenes that kept flashing back in the depths of his mind.

In the first future that he “saw”, “dreamed,” or even “experienced,” Lu Siya did not exist.

Without his help, Lu Siya would have died in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain Range. Naturally, she would not have had the chance to come into contact with the monster mastermind, get involved, and obtain the highest authority.

However, even without Lu Siya, Dragon City’s civilization still faced the crisis of ten thousand suns exploding in the sky.

So, what was right and what was wrong? How could Dragon City be saved? Even if Lu Siya was truly a wild banshee, could killing or imprisoning her save Dragon City?

The vortex at the core of Meng Chao’s mind spun faster and faster.

All his thoughts and deductions about the future were in a mess.

He contemplated for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, “The plan of ‘turning everyone into monsters’ won’t work. If we do that, it will only make the Dragon City civilization a second Turan civilization.

“Do you know what I saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake? They were compatriots of the same civilization, but due to the difference in appearance, they were divided into different cla.s.ses that were clearly separated and insurmountable. The carnivores turned into wolves, tigers, and leopards, and the ordinary people became pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep. Some were even labeled as ‘rat people’ who were even more unbearable than pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep, and they were at the mercy of the superior ones.

“For ten thousand years, the Turan civilization was trapped in a b.l.o.o.d.y reincarnation of the law of the jungle. From the proud s.p.a.ce civilization in the past, it degenerated into a clan civilization that feasted on raw meat and blood. It couldn’t compete with the Holy Light faction, which occupied the center of the Other World.

“I don’t want to see the Dragon City civilization that originated from Earth, see our incomparably proud human compatriots also become like those cruel, ignorant, and deformed half-human, half-beast creatures, those monsters in human skin!”

“So that’s what it is. So, that’s the knot in your heart?”

Lu Siya could not help but laugh. “How should I evaluate you, Meng Chao? Sometimes, you’re extremely smart, but most of the time, you’re unbelievably stupid.

“Do you think the Turan civilization is what it is today because it was corrupted by the Eggs of Chaos and went through a National Monster Transformation, turning their entire race into half-human, half-beast beings?

“Perhaps, to be more accurate, you think that cla.s.s barriers are caused by the difference in appearance. As long as they all look exactly the same, the rich or poor, strong or weak, can sincerely regard each other as compatriots and equals?

“You even think that the rat people are bullied and oppressed because they look like rats, and that everything will be better if they change their appearance?

“Hehe, you’re too naive.

“In the Earth era, humans all looked exactly the same, and there wasn’t much difference in power between them.

“Yet, the human versions of ‘wolves, tigers, leopards, pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep,’ which were the n.o.bles and peasants, still existed for at least thousands of years. The bullying, exploitation, slavery, and slaughter among human beings who looked exactly the same are just as bad, if not worse, than what you saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

“Were the humans of the Earth era, our ancestors, also possessed and parasitized by some kind of invisible monster? And were they all monsters in human skin?

“In the modern age where civilization has developed and in today’s world where Dragon City has crossed worlds and everyone is united, the powerful and influential people stand high above the ma.s.ses and monopolize most of the training resources, cultivating themselves into unparalleled beings that are beyond the Deity Realm. They can literally destroy the world. Life for the ordinary is tough, and the pressure from competing is getting greater. They can only live in humble homes as they work day and night. Plus, they willingly allow the strong to exploit them in the small hope that they earn enough necessities for themselves and their future generations.

“If the Dragon City civilization continues to develop like this, how different will the lives of the ordinary people be from that of the rat people you saw in Picturesque Orchid Lake? Even without the monsters’ influence, their lives are getting worse and worse, and their chances are getting slimmer and slimmer.”
