“A necessary sacrifice?”
Hearing Zhuang Wugou's cold and ruthless statement, Ji Mengyao felt her fists clench so tightly that they might burst.
“Are you saying that everyone joining the Ark and fighting alongside you, risking their lives for you, are merely sacrificial pawns for your so-called ideal?”
“Is this your boring sense of justice?!”
She angrily pounded the floor beside her, resisting the urge to punch him in the head.
“Boring? In my eyes, nothing has changed. It all depends on how you interpret it.”
Zhuang Wugou let out a cold laugh.
“Do you know what has always been the barrier preventing humanity from evolving into a higher species?”
“It’s our fragmented mental worlds. We cannot break free from the constraints of our physical bodies, nor can we achieve 100% lossless communication.”
“The words we speak can never fully express our thoughts, which is why factions emerge, why there are 'you' and 'me,' why there are distinctions between self and others.”
“This leads to misunderstandings, mutual harm, and conflict, all stemming from the clashes between our minds.”
“All the useless efforts we’ve made, wars, plunder, invasions, and colonization, are nothing but self-inflicted struggles, a waste of time!”
His eyes revealed intense confusion and resentment, as if he truly believed this.
“That’s why there’s the Great One’s 'Human Complementation Plan.' Only by completely eliminating the mental barriers between all of us, by merging everyone into one, can we step into a higher dimensional existence.”
“This is the ultimate justice for the survival of humanity, allowing every individual to achieve immortality, free from all violence and unfair treatment, eradicating all malice and harm in the world.”
He spoke with righteous fervor, leaving several people feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.
But Ji Mengyao wasn’t interested in his rhetoric:
“So what? Are the companions around you not lives worth saving? Aren’t they the people you need to protect? Where is their justice?”
“What about Wan Heng? His family? What are they?”
“If one day your so-called ultimate justice is achieved, in that seemingly beautiful world, innocent blood will flow. Don’t you find that disgusting?!”
She continued to interrogate Zhuang Wugou on the ground.
“Let me ask you, if one day your teeth accidentally bite your tongue, even drawing blood, will you punish your own teeth?”
Zhuang Wugou suddenly posed a seemingly strange question.
“If we can all become one, then what you just mentioned is no more than that.”
“For a brighter tomorrow for the majority, the sacrifice of a few now is necessary.”
“By then, all the current evils will seem like nothing more than outdated and laughable notions.”
He seemed completely unapologetic for his actions, rational to the extreme.
That’s why people often say: Extreme rationality is often extreme violence.
“So, what does this have to do with you protecting mutant zombies?”
Ning Yu wasn’t particularly interested in the debate about ‘justice.’
However, she felt that Zhuang Wugou’s so-called 'Human Complementation Plan' didn’t quite align with the audio information she had received from Lin Hao about the virus.
There was no mention of merging into one, nor of the 'Human Complementation Plan.'
“This is a necessary step to accelerate this process.”
Zhuang Wugou replied.
Ning Yu narrowed her eyes, guessing: Since humans can gain abilities from mutant zombies, the reverse might also be true.
Creating so many people and monsters with abilities would likely lead to a further decline in the world’s population.
Although the T-virus had already caused a significant loss of life, continuing this trend would only reduce the population further.
Could such a plan really ensure the survival of humanity? Could it truly save them? Could it lead to a higher dimensional existence?
Ning Yu deeply doubted it:
“Have you ever thought that the Great One’s 'Human Complementation Plan' might not be as wonderful as you imagine?”
“What, are you going to engage me in a boring debate about justice too?”
Zhuang Wugou seemed to think Ning Yu was about to lecture him on morality.
“No, no. I’m not interested in your boring justice. After all, those who wave the banner of justice, one and all, are just exercising a more pleasant form of violence.”
Ning Yu quickly waved her hand.
“When you impose your ideas on a weak life without considering its will, you’re simply using violence, no matter how nice the name sounds.”
She found it all utterly pointless.
“I just want to ask, have you ever thought that you might be being used? How much do you really know about the details of the 'Human Complementation Plan'? What are its steps?”
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m just having a purely rational discussion with you.”
“What if, from the very beginning, your ‘justice’ didn’t even exist? What if you’re just a pawn in someone else’s plan...”
Ning Yu stared intently at Zhuang Wugou, noticing a barely perceptible hesitation in his eyes.
She revealed a knowing smile.
“Shut up!”
Zhuang Wugou seemed to lose his composure.
“Do you think I let the base take in those useless people for no reason? Do you think I’ve been running around to give them a place to live in this world?”
“Stop looking at me with that gaze. I’ve done my best to minimize the losses for the sake of justice.”
“After all, if sacrificing a few can save the majority, what’s wrong with that?”
“Such a plan is already merciful enough!”
He spouted a series of words, but these didn’t directly answer Ning Yu’s question, instead circling back to the debate about justice.
“Oh, yes, yes, of course. If sacrificing one person can save millions, then that one person deserves to die. Yes, that’s your justice, absolutely correct.”
Ning Yu counted on her fingers as she spoke:
“Problems like this, even a student like me can solve easily. Justice is just a simple matter of comparison, right?”
She wore a sweet smile, but her tone was full of sarcasm toward Zhuang Wugou.
Only after finishing did she drop the smile, her gaze turning cold as she looked at Zhuang Wugou sideways:
“Stop acting like you’re the only one who sees the truth. It’s just bullying the weak by the strong.”
“You...”
He seemed at a loss for words, but soon regained his usual calm:
“It doesn’t matter. Even if one of me dies, countless others will rise in my place. I won’t abandon my cause because of your sophistry.”
The armor on his head, which had been reduced to just a helmet, suddenly seemed to regain power, flashing rapidly, and his eyes were quickly filled with light.
“Get behind me!”
Ning Yu suddenly shouted.
Shen Yiyue and Ji Mengyao, hearing this, didn’t hesitate for a moment and quickly dragged Wu Di behind Ning Yu.
“All... for the sake of humanity!”
Zhuang Wugou’s triumphant shout rang out, followed by a violent explosion, and a wave of white light and air surged toward Ning Yu.
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
