When Meng Chao heard this, he understood everything.
Based on the memories of his previous life, the explanation given by the Survival Committee for their pyrrhic victory in the Monster War was that the monsters had continued evolving during the war and gained intelligence that was even more mysterious and profound than that of humans. Then, they could infiltrate human society and assassinate important people, throw the order of cities into chaos, and destroy strategic facilities.
The monsters in the wild even had strict organizations, and they were gradually developing a monster civilization.
In his previous life, Meng Chao was just a normal person during the Monster War, so he did not doubt this saying at all.
When he received the harsh training from the Ghost Tribe and became a third-class fighter, the Monster War would have ended a long time ago, and there would be no need for him to be conflicted.
But now that he thought about it, there were two suspicious things.
First, he wanted to know whether the monsters could gain intelligence that surpassed that of humans within a short fifty years, whether they could gain a deep understanding of human society and the path of civilization's development, and from there, find the weakest parts of human society.
Even if they could find it, different types of monsters were competitors who would fight to the death. It was just as Lin Chuan said. There was no way the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons and Demonic Halberd Pigs would work together to create a monster civilization.
Second, Meng Chao could not imagine that pure monsters could infiltrate human society.
Even if they could burrow into the human brain and use the human body as a puppet, or through vivid mimicry, they could fabricate a flawless human figure.
However, human language, culture, customs, slang, and popular words were not easy to understand.
Even humans who lived in different cultures had a hard time imitating their own kind, much less monsters.
Hence, when the Monster War reached the second stage, the enemy was no longer just monsters, but humans who had formed a symbiotic relationship with monsters. They were the citizens of the satellite cities who had transmigrated fifty years ago but were crushed by the harsh environment of the Other World because they were small. This was the truth, right?
Man's greatest enemy is himself.
It was no wonder then why the Monster War in his previous life was so devastating.
No wonder the Survival Committee couldn't reveal the truth.
Once the news that the enemy was their own kind leaked out, it would definitely cause confusion and chaos in the entire city.
"Ever since the Survival Committee was formed more than thirty years ago, most of the Dragon Citizens, regardless of whether they are superhumans or normal people, have been able to unite and fight for survival when we face a serious threat from the outside world. We have very few internal conflicts. Even if there are superhumans who occasionally go through spirit energy deviation and commit crimes, they are quickly taken care of by the adjudicator court."
Ye Xiaoxing continued. "But over the past few years, as the external threats have weakened, many of the citizens have become arrogant and restless. Many of the descendants of superhumans have also gradually grown up, and the concept of cultivation aristocratic families has appeared. They control a lot of power and formed their own interest groups, which has caused the problems in Dragon City to keep popping up, and they've already reached the point where the adjudicator court can't control them.
"Plenty of evidence points to the fact that highly intelligent monsters are behind many of the problems.
"The abnormal beast research department was created to share the burden of the adjudicator court. It's specifically created to target crimes committed by highly intelligent monsters.
"But no matter how much we strike at the highly intelligent monsters, they never stop fanning the flames and intensifying the conflicts. Instead, they're becoming worse.
"Through the White Spirit Case and Gao Ye's Case, we realized that these highly intelligent monsters might have a tight organization. In fact, they might not be the abnormal beasts we originally thought they were. Instead, they might be deformed and twisted abnormal humans who were born in satellite cities in the wild and formed a symbiotic relationship with monsters.
"There are already many 'alien beasts' and 'inhumans' that have infiltrated our city.
"Good young men like Lin Chuan and Gao Ye were bewitched by them, which is why they went through spirit energy deviation and fell into the abyss.
"And many of the conflicts that could have been resolved slowly became out of control due to the monsters' instigation and provocation.
"To deal with this situation, the abnormal beast research department created the Ninth Special Search Group.
"Group 9's current mission is to seize the clues from the White Spirit Case and Gao Ye's Case and investigate them to dig out the organization of abnormal beasts and abnormal humans lurking in Dragon City. Then, we will crush their schemes.
"It's only by uprooting these people's organizations that we will be able to accurately locate their nests and the satellite cities that have already turned into demon dens. Then, we will get rid of the latent problems lurking around Dragon City and preventing us from conquering the Other World!
"Meng Chao, I can say that without your hard work, the White Spirit Case and Gao Ye's Case would have ended up in completely different directions. We might have needed a long time and suffered even worse losses before we realized the enemy's true colors. Once again, on behalf of the abnormal beast research department and all of Dragon City, I thank you for your contribution!"
Ye Xiaoxing stood up and bowed to Meng Chao solemnly.
Meng Chao's face turned a little red, and he said sincerely, "Captain Ye, Dragon City is our only home. I'm doing something for our home, and I'm not contributing anything. Next, Group 9, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I will definitely do it!"
When Kindling shone at the corner of his eyes and the progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities increased to 20%, Meng Chao knew that his choice was correct.
It was only by properly solving the problem of the satellite cities that they could win the Monster War beautifully.
The White Spirit's plan had been stopped, and Gao Ye's scheme had been exposed. Right now, the organization of the Supernatural Entities was not as large and tight as it was when it surfaced in his previous life. The remaining Seven Supernatural Entities should still be incomplete.
Now was the best chance to stop them.
Honestly speaking, Meng Chao was very receptive to the different forms of human civilization.
Because in the memories of his previous life, he had seen dwarves, elves, trolls, and all sorts of strange humanoid creatures. Many of these humanoid creatures had customs that went beyond the moral limits of Earth.
At that time, Dragon Citizens did everything in their power to survive, and they changed beyond recognition. It was just as the instructor from the black skull said, they lived like cockroaches.
Hence, Meng Chao did not think that he had to completely destroy the satellite cities that were different from Dragon City's civilization.
But regardless of whether he wanted to save them, form an alliance, merge with them, or launch an all-out war, he had to find them first. Only then could he seize the initiative.
After Meng Chao returned from the apocalypse, he would not place his fate in anyone else's hands.
"There's no hurry. Group 9 is still mainly doing investigations at the periphery. Don't worry, we won't send a star of hope with a bright future like you to the battlefield in a crude and crude manner. You won't fight against the cunning and sinister abnormal beasts head-on," Ye Xiaoxing said with a smile.
"If you're willing, we will arrange for you to go through three months of short-term training. If you officially join the abnormal beast research department, logically speaking, you should receive at least half a year of closed-door training, but your situation is unique. We think that it's best if we maintain a distant relationship with you. It'll be easier for us to carry out some secret investigations.
"I know that you have a lot of work in school, so we'll only take up three to five hours at night. We'll mainly teach you how to lurk, stalk, scout, and anti-scout skills, how to invade abnormal beasts' minds and how to prevent them from invading you. Of course, we'll also teach you how to interrogate abnormal beasts." By the way, you're a harvester, so you have a pretty good understanding of monsters' physiological structures. You'll definitely become an outstanding abnormal beast interrogator and squeeze out all their secrets. "
Meng Chao was a little stunned, and he scratched his head.
"Is there a problem?" Ye Xiaoxing asked.
"No."
Meng Chao shook his head and thought, 'Why do I feel like I've learned all these lessons before?'
He thought about it and understood. In his previous life, the Ghost Tribe had similar lessons.
Besides, the Ghost Tribe in his previous life should have been a secret squad that was formed a few years later than the abnormal beast research department.
This meant that the lurking, assassinating, scouting, and interrogating skills he learned in the Ghost Tribe should be more advanced than the current abnormal beast research department.
Unfortunately, his memory fragments were all over the place. Aside from Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab, he could not remember many of the skills.
But that was fine. Once he received the relevant training in the abnormal beast research department, he should be able to remember more of the skills from the Ghost Tribe. At the very least, he could use contribution points to "light up" them.
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao said, "Captain Ye, don't worry. If it's just for a few hours every night, I'll be fine. After all, it's convenient for the subway to travel from Nine Sands University City to the western part of the city. Once I finish my classes in school, I'll rush over."
"You don't have to go through so much trouble. The abnormal beast research department has a station in Agricultural University, and I go there once in a while. We have a few instructors hired from outside, and they're professors from Agricultural University. You can train in Agricultural University or the branch training base in Nine Sands Region," Ye Xiaoxing said readily.
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Is the abnormal beast research department very close to Agricultural University?"
"Of course. Agricultural University is Monster University. If we want to set up an investigation department that specializes in targeting highly intelligent monsters, we would definitely receive great support from Agricultural University," Ye Xiaoxing said with a smile.
Ye Xiaoxing smiled faintly. "More than half of the investigators in the abnormal beast research department are from Agricultural University, and you're the most outstanding freshman in your batch. When you led the alliance of the five universities and won against Dragon City University in the interuniversity tournament, you didn't know that quite a number of higher-ups and veteran investigators from Agricultural University in the department cheered for you!
"It's precisely because you're from Agricultural University and you've helped Agricultural University gain a lot of benefits in the interuniversity tournament and promoting the Ultimate Style that you have the right to come into contact with this core information. Otherwise, do you think that it would be so easy for you to join Group 9?"
It was only then that Meng Chao realized that Ye Xiaoxing had invited him to join them not just because he was smart and brave, but also because he had crucial clues.
He puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Captain Ye, don't worry, I won't embarrass my alma mater!"
"I believe that before long, you'll definitely become Agricultural University's greatest pride."
Once they settled on the training and packed up the documents, they chatted for a while. Just when Meng Chao and Lu Siya were about to get up and leave, Ye Xiaoxing suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Meng Chao, there's something else."
