Hao Ren and Hasse sat opposite each other in the center of the water bubble. The underwater lights flashed around them from time to time, casting mottled spots of light around them. Hao Ren asked Hasse a question, "If there is an instinct that, from the perspective of biological evolution, does not contribute to your reproduction and evolution, and has nothing to do with obtaining food or increasing the probability of survival, but makes you inexplicably hostile to other intelligent creatures that are intellectual and theoretically communicative, do you think this' instinct 'is natural or normal?"
Hasse shook his head and was about to stand up. Hao Ren stopped him. "This is a very serious question. I hope you can take it seriously."
Hasse snorted coldly. "Maybe you're serious, but you don't understand the importance of the killing instinct to the demon hunters. This is the key to us gaining the upper hand in the war against the otherworldlings for the past 10,000 years."
"But without the killing instinct, the war against the otherworldlings would not have existed at all. It is not the key to solving the problem, but the problem itself." Hao Ren pointed to White Flame. "This young demon hunter definitely has a different view from you. Because, like me, she can jump out of the control of the killing instinct and think calmly about the problem. An old demon hunter like you has been controlled by the killing instinct for so long that it has become a natural part of your life that you don't even think about its irrationality, "Hasse said with a strange look on his face.
"This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard … Do you know you're talking about something that's almost a natural phenomenon? It's meaningless to discuss its rationality because it has existed since ancient times. "
"So how do you explain the weakening of the instinctive hostility of the new generation of demon hunters toward the otherworldlings?" Hao Ren spread out his hands. "You have not encountered any hereditary disease, and environmental changes on Earth have not affected this aspect. If the killing instinct was really a natural phenomenon, then wouldn't its disappearance be natural as well? If its disappearance is reasonable, then what is the meaning of its existence before? "
Teuton silently watched the argument between Hao Ren and Hasse. The silent man did not express any opinion. He took out an ancient prayer book from his arms, sat on the edge of the bubble in a weird posture, and began to study it silently. It was already more than ten meters underwater, and the light was dim, but this did not affect the vision of a master demon hunter.
Sorma was maintaining the magical environment outside the bubble. Shaqira curiously came to Hao Ren and listened to the strange discussion.
Hasse realized that the seemingly impatient young human was not as naive as he thought. He heard some hidden clues from Hao Ren's remarks. The ancient demon hunter could survive to this day not only because of his combat ability, but also because he had the shrewdness and calmness of an elder. After a few seconds of silence, Hasse shook his head slightly and said, "I can't answer your question, but I still insist on one thing: it is meaningless to discuss whether the killing instinct should exist or not. Whether the instinct controls us, or we are using this instinct, it is a fait accompli, and we are happy with it. "
Vivian came to Hao Ren and looked at him. "Hasse, you are a smart demon hunter. I now tell you something as an elder: the innate antagonism between the otherworldlings is also weakening, including between the werewolves and the Blood Clan. I know you contributed a lot to the chaos in the Athens' sanctuary, and you should have seen the situation of the otherworldlings there. In the Mythological Era, this was impossible. I have a view: whether it is demon hunters or otherworldlings, they are essentially the same. To the real master of this planet, human beings, we are all supernatural 'otherworldlings.' The so-called killing instinct is no better than the innate hostility between the otherworldlings. It is an abnormal phenomenon that suddenly emerged 10,000 years ago, and now it has begun to fade. You have seen it with your own eyes, so I suggest you calm down and think about the truth behind it. "
White Flame, who was meditating quietly in the distance, looked up at them. There seemed to be some light flashing in her eyes, but then she lowered her head again as if she was indifferent to the discussion here.
Hasse's remaining eye flashed with a strange light. He took a deep breath and asked, "Have you mastered some ancient secrets?"
Vivian pondered for a moment and looked up. "Have you ever thought of a world where all otherworldlings and demon hunters coexist peacefully?"
"If this is a joke, then don't talk about it," Hasse said.
Hao Ren spread out his hand. "Well, let's put it another way: do you think demon hunters and otherworldlings are native to this planet? Do you dare to point to the theory of evolution and the stratigraphic fossil sample library and say that you are native to this planet? "
Teuton and White Flame looked up at the same time. They could no longer pretend to meditate.
"You mean the Day of Return?" "There are two explanations for the 'Day of Return'. The first is the return of the otherworldlings' powers, and the other is the opposite. The otherworldlings will return to a place called the World of Origin... Have you guys found the World of Origin?!"
Hao Ren did not answer directly but slightly changed the topic. "There is evidence that all the supernatural races on Earth came from another world. If you have learned the theory of evolution, you will certainly be able to accept this. I guess there is also a discussion in your race in this regard. I am studying this. You may be interested in my results, but only if you are willing to put aside your prejudices and go with a group of otherworldlings. "
After a few seconds of silence, Hasse stood up and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish this trip."
Hao Ren smiled and shook his head. The voice of the MDT rang in his mind. "I knew your invitation would not be successful this time."
"Whether it is successful or not, at least there is a little push," Hao Ren replied in his mind. "The demon hunter group is a closed circle. This time, we have finally met their top members. How can we not loosen the soil for them? There are not many opportunities to talk to them calmly. "
"Then how effective do you think loosening the soil this time will be?"
"I believe we will have many opportunities to contact the demon hunters in the future, and it is impossible that they will not discuss the gradual decline of the killing instinct. So as long as Hasse is willing to go back and talk to his colleagues, the situation will soon change," Hao Ren exhaled. "The war of the otherworldlings is almost over."
The little girl Y 'lisabet was not interested in the discussion. She was lying on the edge of the water bubble with Lily, curiously looking at the ocean scenery outside. This panoramic diving experience was novel and interesting to her. The siren Sorma was swimming around outside the water bubble. She waved at the people in the water bubble, and then a layer of beautiful ripples rippled behind her. She transformed into a colorful big fish in the ripples and swam away while chasing a string of bubbles. Y 'zaks saw this and asked Nangong Wuyue curiously, "How many forms can you sirens transform into?"
Nangong Wuyue was holding her snake tail in a daze. She was stunned for a moment before she replied, "How many forms? There are countless types. Water is formless. "
Y 'lisabet ran over and asked, "Can you transform into a coral reef? Crabs? Sea urchins? "
Nangong Wuyue immediately wagged her tail happily and was ready to show off. Hao Ren quickly stopped her. "Okay, okay. Can't you stop telling everyone about your mantis shrimp theory?"
Nangong Wuyue was speechless.
At this time, the water bubble suddenly vibrated. Hao Ren saw that the bubble was slowly decelerating from the surrounding light and shadow. He stood up and looked at Shaqira. "What's going on outside?"
A light came from above the water bubble. Everyone found that the whole bubble was slowly rising to the surface of the sea. Sorma poked half of her body through the water curtain and said, "There's fog on the sea. It's demonic fog. Maybe other sirens are controlling this sea. They're much stronger than me. "
Everyone immediately raised their guard. The water bubble had completely risen to the surface of the sea.
There was thick fog in all directions, and the sky was so chaotic that they could not see the position of the sun. The sea was turbulent, and the strange waves that did not conform to the laws of nature were surging in layer upon layer.
There was a faint singing in the salty sea breeze. Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound and there seemed to be something there.
