Meng Chao found Lu Siya's burning gaze a little unbearable. He turned his head around and said, "Big Sis Ya, you've already elevated your ideals to such a high level. If I say that I don't think the same way, wouldn't I be too vulgar?"
"So, you agree to this deal?"
Lu Siya smiled. "That's right. Through this deal, you can use my father and the entire Lu family's power to influence the nine great mega corporations so that you can realize your ideals.
"Similarly, I can also obtain the support of the Broken Star Club, Blue Home, and the Red Dragon Army through you.
"Even though there's an irreconcilable structural conflict between the nine great mega corporations and the Red Dragon Army, the nine great mega corporations are the nine great mega corporations, and I am me. I won't be bound by anything. Regardless of whether it's the Lu family, Sky Pillar Corporation, or the nine great mega corporations, none of them can stop me.
"So, don't worry. As long as it's in line with our interests, I won't reject working together with the Broken Star Club, Blue Home, the Red Dragon Army, and even Battle God Palace. Of course, I think that it'll be enough if only the two of us know about this. That way, it'll be easier for me to get crucial information and resources from the nine great mega corporations.
"Trust me, our cooperation will definitely become more pleasant. Perhaps before long, we'll both reach Deity Realm, and in the future, Dragon City will definitely belong to us. One day, when our powerful genes are combined together, we'll even be able to create the strongest and most perfect life in Dragon City … No, we'll be able to create the strongest and most perfect life in the Other World …"
Lu Siya's smile grew brighter.
She drew closer to Meng Chao.
The sparkle in her eyes was something Meng Chao had never seen before.
"B-Big Sis Ya, calm down. Is there really no need for us to be so … anxious and impatient?"
When Meng Chao saw the sparkle in Lu Siya's eyes, he actually felt chills run down his spine. He stuttered, "I think that there's something wrong with you. Have you been training too much lately? Is your spirit energy attacking your brain? Are you too tired?
"You should rest. Really, I think that we should end the training ahead of time and go back to Dragon City to relax. Just like you said just now, we should go watch a movie, stroll in the park, eat some ice cream, and visit a doctor to make sure that the Monster War and the training in Ruins No. 2 haven't caused too many negative effects to us. Then, we can talk about other things.
Lu Siya stood still.
He lowered his head to look at his reflection in the puddles of water, which had been shattered by the torrential rain. A confused expression appeared on his face.
"That's right. I'm probably too tired. How strange. Why did I suddenly have the idea of breeding a new generation of life?"
Lu Siya rubbed her temples and mumbled, "Before I completely conquer the Other World, I didn't intend to let anything bind me."
"Your cultivation speed is simply too fast."
"I remember that it has only been a few days since you became a six-star superhuman. How did you become stronger than a normal person at the peak of Heaven Realm so quickly? Haste makes waste. If you improve like this, it'll be very easy for you to go through spirit energy deviation."
"That makes sense."
"But there's something off about those words coming out of your mouth. Didn't you just become a five-star superhuman not long ago, and your fighting strength is already above that of a normal six-star superhuman? Everyone is the same, we are all monsters! "
His words made the two of them burst into laughter.
It actually diluted the awkward and weird atmosphere a moment ago by quite a bit.
"By the way, Big Sis Ya —"
Meng Chao used the chance to change the topic. "Recently, has the abnormal beast research department … had any news about super beasts? Like the White Spirit, Earthquake, Demonic Abyss Eye, Vortex, Wisdom Tree, or something like that?"
"No. The monster civilization has already been destroyed. Where are the new super abnormal beasts?"
She did not understand why he would suddenly mention this. She thought about it and said, "Recently, the research department has been updating their organization and upgrading their system. Everyone is busy, so they don't have the time to care about monsters!"
"Organization renewal, system upgrade?"
Meng Chao was a little stunned.
"That's right. The abnormal beast research department was originally formed to deal with the highly intelligent monsters who infiltrated Dragon City and wreaked havoc. Now that the monster civilization has been reduced to dust, if the abnormal beast research department wants to continue developing, it has to update and upgrade itself so that it can give itself a brand new mission."
Lu Siya told Meng Chao that during the later stage of the Monster War, the abnormal beast research department recruited a large group of people with extraordinary abilities and contributed greatly to the research department. Then, through the arduous and fierce battles, their fighting strength became stronger.
Besides, the abnormal beast research department used its advantage and was the first to get a slice of the cake from the monster civilization's legacy.
The abnormal beast research department's strength suddenly increased, and it had been developing smoothly. Clearly, it did not want to end up in a state where it had already served its purpose. It did not want to end up with a sad ending just because its enemies disappeared.
Now, everyone in the abnormal beast research department, from the director Nie Chenglong to the leader of Special Search Team No. 9 and the normal investigators, were all ambitious and eager to take action.
They hoped to get rid of the word "abnormal beast" from their name and upgrade the abnormal beast research department to Dragon City's research department. In the future, the scope of their investigations and punishment would not just be limited to the highly intelligent monsters, but all the highly intelligent natives in the Other World.
"The secret police in the adjudicator court will be the same as before. They will be in charge of Dragon City's internal investigations and hunt down and punish superhumans who have gone out of control. The research department will be the most terrifying blade Dragon City uses to stab into the depths of the Other World. In fact, one day, we'll upgrade the research department to the Survey Corps and control the best special soldiers and secret resources in Dragon City," Lu Siya said smugly.
"You should be able to imagine just how strong the research department will become at that time!"
Meng Chao nodded.
Since ancient times, secret organizations like the research department that were active in the black frontlines might not be stronger than the regular army, but they were definitely more terrifying.
Meng Chao had always worked well with the abnormal beast research department. In fact, he had even set up his home in the research department's family compound.
If the research department became stronger, it would only bring him benefits. There were no disadvantages.
But for some reason, flames of unease burned in the depths of his mind.
As he stared at the dark night sky, he felt as if he had caught a glimpse of danger that disappeared in a flash.
"What's wrong with you? Why did your temperature suddenly drop by 0.33 degrees Celsius?"
Lu Siya sensed Meng Chao's unease, and she cast him a strange glance. "By the way, two days ago, the director asked me whether you were interested in officially joining the research department.
"Of course not as a normal investigator or even as a gold-medal investigator.
"Over this period of time, the research department has been recruiting people and expanding its strength. They've set up a few new special operations squads. Even though their standards aren't high for the time being, they'll have the chance to cross Monster Mountain Range and be independent outside. They'll also have the important right to act independently and have the priority to deal with the spoils of war. I believe that you might be willing to become the leader of one of the squads."
"Wait …"
Meng Chao's mind was burning. Countless information fragments were like tumbling bubbles in magma, but he had to stretch his hand into the magma and endure the pain to fish out the scattered clues.
[The Mystery of the Supernatural Entities is currently 99% complete. All the Supernatural Entities have appeared. The final answer is right before your eyes.]
The golden words flashed in front of his eyes again.
Every tiny word was like a golden awl that pierced deep into his brain.
Meng Chao's eyelids twitched, and he mumbled, "Big Sis Ya, do you know if there are any other organizations in Dragon City that are upgrading their systems and updating their organizations like the abnormal beast research department?"
"Of course there are. Aside from the research department, there's also the adjudicator court, the Hunter's Association, the universities, research centers, the Red Dragon Army, and the nine great mega corporations. All of them are making adjustments that will hurt them greatly. In fact, they've caused drastic changes that will turn the world upside down!"
Lu Siya said. "After all, in the past, the major forces of power in Dragon City set winning against the monster civilization as their highest goal. They set up their organizational structure, allocated their personnel and resources, created their corporate culture, divided their missions, and set their KPIs.
"Now, the monster civilization has already suffered a crushing defeat, and the door to the new world is slowly opening before our eyes. Shouldn't all the forces of power be going through a full transformation?"
"No wonder …"
Meng Chao was like a bee that had lost its sense of direction because of spirit energy magnetic field interference. He kept walking around in circles in the muddy valley, but he could not find his way. "It's no wonder why Dragon City has been so chaotic lately. It's because everyone is going through a transformation, and they have to pay a price for it, right?" he mumbled.
"Of course. It's just like the metabolism of the human body. They have to get rid of a lot of waste to ensure that the new tissues are stronger," Lu Siya said emotionlessly.
"Many of the veteran veterans who have rendered meritorious deeds have been fighting against monsters their entire lives. Their thoughts have gradually become rigid, and they can only get used to fighting against monsters. If they apply their fighting style to a brand new war, they'll cause a major disaster.
"If we want to replace the old with the new and use the new generation filled with new thoughts and fighting strategies to replace the old elites who are respected and have great power, then ensure that Dragon City's civilization can successfully change, we will indeed have to pay a huge price. But we have no other choice. We can only grit our teeth and get through this period of pain."
"Painful period …" Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. "So, the period after the Monster War ended is indeed when Dragon City's civilization is at its weakest.
"On one hand, the great enemy that forced us to unite has already collapsed. The cracks that have existed between us since a long time ago have been exposed without fear, and under the stimulation of the monster civilization's legacy, the cracks have become bigger and deeper!
"On the other hand, the change in our strategic goals has caused all the major forces of power in Dragon City to fight against each other to upgrade their systems and renew their organizations. It's just as you said, this is the painful period of transformation, and we have to pay a price for it. It might stir up new conflicts.
"Right now, we are like people who are covered in wounds and exhausted after a fierce battle for half a century. Originally, we relied on our strong desire to survive and willpower to support ourselves, which was why we were able to stand and fight our enemies to the death.
"In the end, the moment we killed the enemy, the breath that supported us to stand still dissipated. We collapsed, and all the injuries and fatigue drowned us like a tide.
"But we're still driven by hunger to tear at our enemies' corpses. We're eating like crazy and wolfing down our food. We're too full and have indigestion. Isn't that right? Isn't that right?"
