If he couldn't even deceive himself, there was no need to continue being a liar.
But unfortunately..,
Liu Xiaojiang had never thought of being a liar, nor did he intend to deceive himself because of anything. As for deceiving others... this was completely an instinctive behavior of language creatures, not to mention that there were 'white lies' that could be used to beautify this behavior.
If it weren't for the fact that he could survive in this world, if it weren't for the fact that he and the people around him could be carefree...
He didn't want to always use deceit and other evil means to achieve his goal. He didn't even want to join a company to work for ordinary people.
What stability...
What righteousness...
What was the importance of these things that ordinary people worked hard to maintain to an alien like him?
It was all because he was selfish!
For himself!
That was why he joined the company to play the role of a villain!
Liu Xiaojiang had never thought of himself as a saint. His thoughts were no different from most ordinary people. The only difference was that his desires... were smaller and purer than most ordinary people.
Liu Xiaojiang just wanted to live leisurely like an ordinary person in this world. However, this condition that most ordinary people had when they were born required a lot of effort for him to be satisfied.
And under such conditions..,
How could Liu Xiaojiang have the so-called mentality of a saint? He didn't have any thoughts of revenge on the creatures in the world because of this kind of thing. It could be considered that he had maintained a good state of mind cultivation.
Lucifer, a guy who was equivalent to a saint, was worthy of admiration in his eyes, but looking at the ending of this saint in combination with various situations...
He didn't want to become such a so-called saint!
Liu Xiaojiang didn't want to give up everything for other unrelated people, and compared to the ending of a saint like Lucifer... He felt that becoming a selfish and despicable villain could at least guarantee that he would live more comfortably than a saint!
Of course..
Even if he was a selfish and despicable ordinary person, he still couldn't have some relatively extreme thoughts..
After all, what often destroyed people was never the so-called justice and evil, but the extreme and arrogant thoughts in people's hearts..
..
After Lucifer completely disappeared..,
Liu Xiaojiang stood on the shore and was silent for a moment. Then, he turned to Windsor and Charles, who were hiding under a tree in the distance, and said,
"How many people are there on the island..."
Hearing this,
Both of their hearts skipped a beat. However, when they considered their current situation, they still walked out from behind the tree in fear.
"Re … Replying to Master, there are currently … a total of 417 people on the island who can go out to carry out missions."
"I'm asking about the total number of people on the island …" Liu Xiaojiang strode toward the two of them and asked with a calm expression.
"You should understand the meaning of 'all together' …"
"Yes …" Windsor pursed her lips and replied hesitantly, "There should be a total of 1274 people, including the old, the weak, women, and children … as well as ordinary people who are willing to help us survive on the island."
"Very good …" Liu Xiaojiang came to the edge of the forest and stopped in front of Windsor and Charles. He looked at the place where the islanders lived and said,
"Is everyone here?"
"Some are outside, in charge of guiding the newly discovered awakened ones …" Windsor lowered her head.
"Do you know where that place is?" Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"I know …" Charles saw that Windsor didn't speak, so he immediately explained.
"Mas … Master, Windsor has never been involved in this matter, so I don't know the exact location of that place. I … I have been outside to carry out such missions, so I know very well where that place is hidden …"
"I know …" Liu Xiaojiang nodded at Charles, admitting that he was more or less useful. Then, he turned to Windsor again and said, "Windsor, why are you still hesitating?
Could it be that you have softened your heart for the people on this island, or … Do you think that we shouldn't lay our hands on the old, the weak, the women, and the children, as well as the ordinary people who are willing to help you survive? "
Windsor looked troubled, "Master, I …"
"Lucifer is already dead," Liu Xiaojiang continued to say.
"If Gabriel was still alive, he might provide you with protection, but now that the two remaining old gods are gone, Nathan Island has completely lost its so-called protective umbrella, so … there are only two endings for the people here."
"Either they will be completely destroyed by the ordinary people with some kind of absolute power, or they will forever become weapons and tools in the hands of the ordinary people …"
"But …"
"If I were one of the managers of this country, considering the 'free thought' that has always existed among the people, it would be better to directly destroy it to solve all the problems once and for all …"
"After all, although the individual strength of the Inhumans is strong, in this era, it is impossible for them to influence the direction of a war. As for other places that need to use the Inhumans … I'm afraid there isn't a situation where it has to be the Inhumans."
"…" Windsor was speechless.
"Find a reason to gather the people on the island … Can you do it?" Liu Xiaojiang no longer cared whether Windsor could understand or not. Instead, he looked directly at the two people in front of him and asked again.
"Everyone …?" Windsor looked up at Liu Xiaojiang. There was still a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but it was obviously not directed at her 'companions' on the island. Instead, it was directed at the relatively innocent old, the weak, the women, the children, and the ordinary people.
"I actually don't need to explain anything to you." Liu Xiaojiang glanced at the hesitant Windsor.
"Although you are currently under absolute control, I don't want to implement that boring and terrifying control on you … Do you understand?"
No matter why he was here.
The reason why Liu Xiaojiang came here was equivalent to starting a war on this place alone. And no matter whether this was a one-sided war or not, once it started … it would quickly become a situation where one party would not stop until one party was dead.
In such a situation, any hesitation or sympathy would likely bring trouble to oneself. Therefore, even though it would be rather cruel … the most rational choice was to eliminate the source of trouble and not leave any trace of future trouble.
This kind of behavior was inhumane. But war was wrong, so even if it was a so-called rational decision, it was still inhumane in the eyes of ordinary people …
Of course.
There was another kind of behavior in war that was even more inhumane, and that was to slaughter and humiliate the truly innocent without reason. It was equivalent to crazily venting the brutality and bestiality that was not allowed in normal society.
That kind of thing …
No matter if it was a war or not, as long as one was rational, one would feel that the people who did such things … were worse than pigs and dogs!
Liu Xiaojiang knew that what he was doing was very cruel. In the eyes of normal people, it was even more inhumane. However, combined with the special situation where it was almost a fight to the death, there was no other important reason to leave some alive. Therefore, rationally, he still chose to eliminate the root of the problem.
After all, everyone was enemies with a feud. In this situation where the enemies had almost no value, he didn't take overly cruel revenge and that was already showing mercy to the Nathan Islanders …
"I understand …"
Windsor sensed the determination in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes. After considering her own situation, she eventually nodded and headed to the residence of the Nathan Islanders with Charles.
