Chapter 760 Who is the monster?
"I testify that everything the mayor said is true!"
Lu Siya raised her arms high, letting everyone, including the exploration team, notice her presence, "Because before I suddenly woke up and cut off my sinful past, I was a member of one of the nine wealthy families in Dragon City.
“In Dragon City, we call ourselves ‘extraordinary’, which means that we who control powerful spiritual energy have become far away from the ranks of mortals and have become extraordinary and holy beings. We are no longer the same species as ordinary citizens!
"While ordinary people are working hard for a can of synthetic cans, we are enjoying fine clothing, fine food, and nearly unlimited training resources. It can be said that if we start practicing from the womb, the chance of awakening extraordinary power is naturally dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people.
Even hundreds of times, and we use this to explain the 'superiority' of our own bloodline and provide theoretical support for us to rule Dragon City forever.
"We control the survival committee and most of the powerful institutions, hold all important positions, and monopolize almost all key channels.
"As long as they come from one of the nine wealthy families, no matter how bad a guy is, they can easily reach a high position. However, a genius from a humble family has to work a hundred times more than us and fall at our feet before he can succeed under our guidance.
In the cracks, there is a negligible chance.
"We drive countless ordinary warriors to the wilderness to fight with spirit beasts in order to harvest spirit beast materials and mine crystal mineral veins to meet our ever-expanding cultivation needs - and the reason for our crazy cultivation is not at all to rebuild as we verbally declare.
And develop civilization just to continuously strengthen yourself, break through the limits of life, and become a true god!
"In Dragon City, we divide the levels of extraordinary beings into three major realms, the highest of which is the 'divine realm', which has made our ambitions clear.
"That's right, we just don't want to struggle as humans anymore, but we want to become gods who are above everything and can rule and enslave all things!
"Even if we really want to rebuild civilization, the 'perfect civilization' deep in our hearts is still very different from the human civilization of the earth age - it is destined to be a small group of 'transcendents' led by supreme 'gods' like us.
A bloody civilization that will forever rule the vast majority of ordinary people!
Lu Siya's words caused all the Taoyuan townspeople to take a breath of air, showing expressions of horror and disbelief.
"Fortunately, with the help of the mayor and everyone, I gradually broke free from endless greed, ambition and sin, and realized how terrible my past self and life in Dragon City really were."
Lu Siya changed the topic, shaking her colorful feathers, her voice was trembling and sincere, "The so-called transcendence is not to become a god, but to become a demon!
"If Dragon City continues to develop like this, it won't be long before it will repeat the mistakes of the Earth Age!
"So, please everyone in Taoyuan Town think of a way to save thousands of ordinary citizens of Dragon City!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the mayor's voice sounded again.
"Yes, the people who rule Dragon City now are the same as the people who ruled Taoyuan Town back then. They are the embodiment of ambition and greed originating from the earth!"
The mayor gritted his teeth and said, "They also slander innocent spiritual beasts as so-called 'monsters'. However, spiritual beasts will only attack humans when they are panicked or really hungry and have no other choice, just like humans."
We are so hungry that we have to collect in order to survive. Just like fishing and hunting, natural selection means survival of the fittest. There is no such thing as 'just', 'evil' or 'weird'.
"Furthermore, even the most brutal spiritual beast will only cause pain for a few minutes at most if it eats a person with all their skin and bones.
"Those who control powerful power can use rhetoric, violent machines and insidious game rules to deceive, force and enslave the weaker ones. For decades, bit by bit, their days are like years, and they are extremely painful.
The earth drains all flesh and blood.
“Who is the real ‘monster’?
"Is it a spiritual beast that eats a human being in a few minutes in order to survive; or is it the strong man who clearly owns 99% of the resources, but still wants to squeeze out the last 1% and enslave the weak for decades - those who have vain plans
A guy who is above humans and all things and becomes a 'god'?"
The vines hanging down from the wisdom tree are like sound pillars, vibrating with the mayor's voice.
Countless wet flowers bloomed on the vines, like natural trumpets, allowing his voice to be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
"Of course it's those guys!"
"Those demons who try to become gods!"
"We must overthrow the evil rule of those demons in Dragon City, rescue all ordinary citizens, and let them live a happy and equal life like us!"
The citizens of Taoyuan were completely trapped in the mayor's logical thinking and couldn't extricate themselves.
They shouted wildly.
Like a wave rising higher than the next, Meng Chao's face turned pale.
Activating his extraordinary vision, he saw the "train gun" Long Feijun and other exploration team members in the distance. Their faces were as pale as his own, and they felt troubled.
Of course, some of the exploration team members, like Lu Siya, seemed to be really affected by the brainwave resonance of tens of thousands of Taoyuan townspeople, and gradually showed the same intoxicated and fanatical expressions as them, and raised their arms and shouted together.
The wave of chanting lasted for five minutes.
As the fragrant pollen fell, people gradually returned to calm.
"That's right, Taoyuan Town and Longcheng are so close, we can't be alone."
The mayor continued, "So, at this year's harvest ceremony, we must offer sacrifices and pray to the Wisdom Tree with great piety, praying that it can help thousands of ordinary citizens of Dragon City escape the sea of suffering just like it helped us in the past.
.
"Now, bring all the sacrifices!"
The mayor waved his hand, and the crowd naturally separated into several channels.
The seemingly chaotic crowd, but pulled by some mysterious force, stepped forward in an orderly manner and threw the carefully collected sacrifices into the open space under the Wisdom Tree.
After a while, earth clothes, mobile phones, computers, household appliances, and daily necessities produced by various earth industries were piled up into several hills.
There were also a few strong men with strong backs and heavy waists, and they carried several large barrels of monster grease and easy-to-burn natural resin with "hey, hey," and poured it carefully on the hill.
The mayor lit the fire himself, and several hills suddenly burst into flames.
Because there were a large number of plastic products in the sacrifices, strong black smoke and burnt smell came out of the flames. Taoyuan townspeople who smelled this smell all frowned and spat at the flames: "What a putrid smell, what an evil smell!"
As the flames burned stronger and stronger, the branches of the wisdom tree and the vines wrapped around them made a "rustling" sound like willows blown by the wind, which seemed to be very pleasant.
The joy of the wisdom tree resonated with the people of Taoyuan. They were happy and started dancing.
"The Tree of Wisdom accepted our sacrifice and felt our sincerity, so it will definitely protect us!"
"Please ask the Wisdom Tree to save and protect Dragon City together, and let the green carpet and sea of flowers blooming in Taoyuan Town slowly bloom in Dragon City too!"
"May the Tree of Wisdom help us eliminate all sins originating from the depths of our genes, so that there will no longer be bullying, oppression and slavery among humans, and the whole world will become a carefree paradise!"
All the citizens of Taoyuan lowered their heads together and prayed with great piety.
Perhaps the Wisdom Tree really has wisdom and hears their voices.
An incredible scene happened!
As the vines and branches danced more and more, the pollen and petals falling from the branches became more and more dense, like a colorful and sparkling flower rain, making the whole world as beautiful as a dream.
The citizens of Taoyuan who were contaminated with pollen all had blurry eyes, flushed faces, and shortness of breath, as if they were drunk.
Their prayers became louder and louder, and their dance steps became faster and faster, like dolls that were wound up and couldn't stop.
Even the old mayor with white beard and hair was dancing on the rosette made of intertwined vines, like a crazy top.
"This is some kind of... hallucinogenic spore!"
Even Meng Chao felt a little dizzy when he was in such a crazy and weird scene, and couldn't help but want to worship the brilliant tree of wisdom that covered the sky and the sun.
At the critical moment, he bit the tip of his tongue to maintain the last trace of consciousness and keenly sensed the secret hidden in the rain of flowers in the sky.
This is no ordinary pollen.
It was something similar to the toxic and hallucinogenic colorful mushrooms I just saw in the open-air cafeteria.
Of course, its stealth and hallucinogenic properties are ten times stronger than ordinary poisonous mushrooms.
Meng Chao silently operated his psychic energy, covering the nasal mucosa with a protective film.
It also blocks 36,000 pores all over the body.
It also stimulates the central nervous system, accelerates metabolism, and causes one to sweat profusely, ensuring that even a small amount of hallucinogenic pollen that invades the body will be instantly excreted with sweat.
But he could not stop the crazy crowd from forming whirlpools and torrents, pushing and shoving and running rampant under the tree of wisdom.
In the chaotic crowd, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
It's Lu Siya.
She is also sweating profusely.
The palm of his hand was wet, and it clung to Meng Chao's wrist.
Her expression was as enchanted as everyone else's.
It seemed as if he was dragging Meng Chao towards a direction where the rain of flowers was particularly colorful and the hallucinogenic spores were particularly dense.
But while running, the two of them were somehow squeezed out by the crazy crowd and fell to the edge of the square.
Everyone around him closed his eyes, shook his head, and was immersed in a carefree, happy and perfect world.
Even "Train Cannon" Long Feijun and other exploration team members didn't know if they were really infected by the clustered brain waves of tens of thousands of people, or if they were just pretending. They also half-squinted their eyes and muttered something.
No one seemed to notice Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
And Lu Siya didn't even look at Meng Chao.
She stretched out her hands towards the Wisdom Tree, and every colorful feather on her body trembled slightly, like a dry seedling praying for sweet rain.
But his lips trembled slightly, and the sound waves converged into a line and were accurately sent to Meng Chao's ears.
