"Yes, Meng Chao. Now, it's my turn to tell you to take it easy.
Don't be too excited, "Lu Siya said." You should understand that the release of many of the structural conflicts and the complete transformation of the strategic structure are necessary for Dragon City's civilization.
"We can't bury our heads in sand like ostriches and pretend that Dragon City is a paradise where everyone is united and there are no conflicts.
"There are plenty of things that will only become worse the longer we drag this out.
"Right now, Dragon City's civilization is indeed at its weakest, but the monster civilization has already suffered a crushing defeat, and no new enemies have appeared around us for the time being. If we don't use this precious window to expose ourselves and solve our conflicts so that we can smoothly transform, when will we be able to wait?"
"No …"
Meng Chao stared at the storm ravaging the ground and remained silent for five minutes like a puppet made of mud. He simply let the cold rain turn into wisps of rolling steam around his burning brain.
Boom! Crack!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the night sky.
It also tore through the uneasy fog that had been shrouding the depths of his brain.
He widened his eyes and shuddered uncontrollably.
"Meng Chao, what's wrong?"
Lu Siya was also affected by his emotions. She went forward and pressed down on his shoulder gently. She sent a wave of spirit energy into his body in an attempt to calm his restless thoughts.
"That's right, Big Sis Ya. You're right. We have to solve problems, and it's hard to avoid pain. Since we won the Monster War, now is the best time to solve our problems …"
Meng Chao turned his head around. His face was pale, and he smiled at Lu Siya. "But what if we haven't completely won the Monster War?"
"What did you say?"
A strange look flashed in Lu Siya's eyes.
Even she did not notice it, but her pupils had shrunk a little.
She pulled her hand away from Meng Chao and rubbed the center of her eyebrows gently to get rid of the stabbing pain that had been lingering ever since she became a six-star superhuman. She also hid her expression.
"Meng Chao, are you like me? Did you train too much and become paranoid? Aren't you worrying too much?"
"We killed and captured dozens of monster hordes and destroyed most of the monster habitats in Monster Mountain Range. We even occupied Hidden Fog Territory, Natural Pit, and the monsters' nests. Even the monster mastermind is in our hands, and we can cut it up for research.
"Before the rainy season arrived, the fog that shrouds Dragon City and Monster Mountain Range has become much thinner. The spirit energy magnetic field interference won't be able to cause a lot of trouble. We've sent thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles and armored airships to scout Monster Mountain Range from above." We didn't find any signs of large-scale monster hordes or Apocalyptic Beasts. You have to understand, monster hordes and Apocalyptic Beasts eat an astronomical amount of resources. Their existence will definitely have a severe effect on the environment around them, so it's impossible for them to hide perfectly.
"If this isn't a perfect victory in the Monster War, then what is the complete victory in your heart?"
"I know, I know."
Meng Chao paced back and forth in agitation. His teeth and nails dug into his flesh. He wanted to use the pain to clear his thoughts.
As bolts of lightning exploded, his face turned paler, but his eyes shone brighter.
"On the surface, we have indeed won the Monster War. It's precisely because we believe that the monsters have been destroyed and we no longer have to worry about anything that the internal problems in Dragon City erupted like a volcano."
Meng Chao stopped pacing and stared at Lu Siya. He extended a finger and said, "But who said that the monster mastermind is in our hands?"
Lu Siya was stunned.
Then, she let out a bark of laughter.
"Meng Chao, are you confused?"
Lu Siya said. "You might not have been there personally when my grandfather and the others fought against the monster mastermind, but after the battle, you went to investigate the scene under Battle God Lei Zongchao's lead. Later, you formed a mental connection with the microbrain in the depths of the monster mastermind and read a lot of information related to the monster civilization.
"Even if you don't believe in my grandfather and the others, you should believe in your own eyes and memories, right?"
"No, what I see with my eyes might not be the truth. Even if I can't change memories, I can at least block and distort them."
Meng Chao's fingertips trembled a little. "Of course I know that Lv Zhongqi and the other twenty Deity Realm superhumans fought against the monster mastermind in the depths of the sinkhole. No one knows the terror of that fight better than I do.
"The problem is, how do we know that the one who fought against the Deity Realm superhumans is the mastermind? It's the creator of the monster civilization and its highest commander."
This question stunned Lu Siya for a long time.
"It's so strong that it injured my grandfather and the others badly …" she said hesitantly.
"Just because it's strong, does it mean that it's definitely the monster mastermind?"
Meng Chao pressed on. "Or should I say that it's definitely the monster mastermind?"
"Wait, it's not a matter of whether it's strong or not."
Lu Siya thought about it and said, "It's Jin Qianxi. The monster mastermind and Jin Qianxi's brain remains are closely connected. In fact, it absorbed Jin Qianxi's soul, and that's why it grew to its current state. You should know about this after you read the memories in the microbrain."
"That's right. Jin Qianxi is the key. Jin Qianxi is highly connected to the monster mastermind. There was a period of time when we guessed that Jin Qianxi was the monster mastermind!"
Meng Chao curled his trembling fingers and snapped them. "The problem is, who told us about this? Who planted this thought in our heads that Jin Qianxi was the monster mastermind?"
Lu Siya focused her attention and thought about it for a long time.
She still had a confused look on her face.
"Big Sis Ya, why is your mind so slow? You shouldn't have forgotten about this. "
Meng Chao frowned a little. "The bubble messenger told us about it.
"During the battle of the lair, you, I, and A 'Ji fought against the Vortex for three hundred rounds in the secret lab under Golden Tooth's headquarters. We killed the enemy with great difficulty, and the enemy's corpse turned into bubbles. A person who looked like Jin Qianxi popped out of the bubbles and told us about it!"
"That's right!"
Lu Siya came to a realization. "That's what the bubble messenger said."
"That's the problem. It's what has been bothering me for half a year. It's something I've been feeling uneasy about, but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out."
Meng Chao's voice was as sharp as a blade polished by ice. "Why did the monster civilization send a messenger to tell us about Jin Qianxi?
"We're clearly mortal enemies, so why would the monster civilization be so kind as to reveal such crucial information to us?
"You have to understand that before the battle of the lair, we knew nothing about the monster civilization's true colors. We didn't know their social form, the source of their power, or where they obtained so much wisdom regarding human civilization.
"Isn't hiding this information and continuing to be in the dark while the enemy is in the light the most logical choice for the monster civilization?
"Why did they create a bubble messenger when there was absolutely no need for it? Why did they impatiently reveal that Jin Qianxi is related to the monster mastermind?"
Lu Siya was silent for a long time in the rain.
"I don't know," she said airily.
She said quietly, "What do you think?"
"Information is also a weapon. Usually, both sides of a war will try their best to hide information about themselves from their opponents. If they intentionally reveal information, they must be trying to achieve some sort of goal, such as warning, threatening, or sending a signal of compromise."
While he was drinking with Long Feijun during the first half of the night, the rain had become lighter. The dark clouds in the sky had also become thinner, so Meng Chao and the young officers of the Red Dragon Army thought that the rainy season was about to end and dawn was about to arrive.
But at some point in time, the rain started to get heavier without anyone noticing.
Forget about the bullet-like raindrops that fell on people's bodies.
The rumbling of the flood in the depths of Fog God Mountain showed that it was still a long time before the world became completely peaceful.
However, the cold raindrops cooled down Meng Chao's burning mind.
It caused the path that he had explored from the countless scattered clues to suddenly become clear.
"Human civilization and monster civilization have been fighting for nearly half a century, and both of us know very well that we have a blood feud that will not end until one of us dies. There's no room for compromise or surrender between us. All warnings and threats are useless against us."
Meng Chao wiped away the boiling rainwater on his face and said calmly, "In this sort of situation, any information the monster civilization reveals to us can only serve one purpose — to mislead us.
"They mislead us into believing that the monster civilization was able to grow to its current state because of Jin Qianxi's influence.
"They mislead us into believing that the monster mastermind and Jin Qianxi's brain remains are bound together and that they have long since fused into one.
"They mislead us into believing that as long as we kill a powerful existence in the monster nest that has fused with Jin Qianxi's brain remains, we will be able to completely destroy the monster mastermind and obtain the final victory!
"But is this really the truth? Is it the entire truth?"
"Meng Chao, you …"
Shock flashed briefly on Lu Siya's face.
It was as if she did not expect that Meng Chao's mind would be so sharp.
She extended her hand in the dark.
However, there was a force that pressed her hand back.
"Of course we won't believe the bubble messenger's one-sided story," Lu Siya said after thinking about it carefully.
"But all of this matches the information we analyzed from the microbrain. Aside from you, there are plenty of Deity Realm superhumans and even I obtained a lot of information from the microbrain. It's enough to prove the connection between the monster mastermind and Jin Qianxi. How are we supposed to explain this?"
"It can't be explained. This is another thing that shouldn't have happened and can't be explained," Meng Chao said.
"Why did the monster mastermind leave behind such a complete microbrain so that we could dissect it and study it so that we could willfully steal its memories?
"Even if the monster civilization's destruction is unavoidable, does the monster mastermind not have the strength to destroy its brain and everything else before the strongest humans rush into its nest?"
