A few days later.
Capital.
The residential area surrounded by water that Liu Xiaojiang had visited before was as beautiful and peaceful as usual. But now, it was much livelier than before.
Even though the number of people in this residential area was pitifully small compared to the crowd on the commercial streets, but compared to the past … it was still considered a relatively rare situation.
In the reception room of the attic.
Windsor and Charles stood in front of the door of an indoor room that wasn't luxuriously decorated, but it was still somewhat well-furnished. They were like two door gods guarding the door for the people in the room, but they were constantly paying attention to the old man sitting at the table with his back facing them.
Even though they didn't know what Liu Xiaojiang wanted to do, since they were asked to protect the old man at all times, they naturally didn't want to disappoint Liu Xiaojiang.
However, as they were also in the room, they could clearly hear the conversation of the others. Therefore, the more they listened to the old man's explanation of gathering the others, the more they felt that things were getting more and more mysterious.
What company, Big Ten, Inhumans, cleansing and rebirth … Their heads were about to explode as they listened.
After all, even if they had already learned the language here, they were still lacking in comprehension speed due to the difficulty of the language. Moreover, the people here were always willing to talk about irrelevant things, so in the end, they could only understand that they were talking about a rather serious matter.
Besides, it seemed like it had something to do with their master …
…
"… That's about it. The reason why I asked you to come here is to hear your opinions on this matter." The old man explained the recent happenings in the Inhuman circle. Then, he calmly picked up the teacup on the table and said.
"What do you think … of this opportunity?"
At this moment, apart from Windsor, Charles, and the old man who asked the question, the other five people present knitted their brows tightly. It was apparent that they didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the Inhuman circle, not to mention the appearance of a terrifying and extremely powerful Inhuman like Ying Gou.
However, considering the old man's attitude towards this matter, some of the people present still felt that it was a little inappropriate. That was why one of them raised a question.
"Old leader, isn't this too much? Forget about those so-called mutants. After all, they can also be considered a type of mutant. In essence, to us ordinary people, they are no different from the omnipotent Yinggou."
A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit said respectfully.
"If you want to eliminate Yinggou together, perhaps it won't be that troublesome. Even if ordinary humans and mutants join forces to deal with Yinggou, they can also … conceal the existence of the mutants."
"But you want to use this opportunity to let the Mutants stand under the sun again. This … Isn't it too simple to think of everything?"
"You might not know …"
"People nowadays are totally different from before. They are used to living a stable life, so much so that they tend to think about things that aren't beneficial to themselves … or society."
"Even if there is something special about their own kind that isn't rare, most of them will choose to reject this kind of person from a young age … Not to mention those mutants who are enough to make them envious and afraid."
"Kind … No, it's not that there aren't any kind people, but there are definitely fewer of them than before. Most of them are forced to stick to the bottom line under the rules. Most ordinary people who stick to the bottom line but never hold themselves to high standards and only hold others to high standards are easily triggered."
"So, under the current circumstances, I'm afraid there's still a long way to go for these people to accept the mutants with ease …"
Upon hearing that.
"Little Zhou …" The old man took a few sips of warm tea, then looked up at the middle-aged man who spoke.
"You used to be my student, and you were the most outstanding and capable one. But what you said today isn't fair …"
"Ordinary people are your people in your eyes, but aren't those so-called mutants your people? Ordinary people are humans … but aren't mutants humans?"
"Remember …"
"In this world, no one deserves to die because of their birth. Just because the mutants have power that we don't have, should they endlessly contribute to the stability of the world?"
"Once upon a time …"
"They were also members of this world, and they were more important than ordinary people. Some were willing to die on the battlefield in order to serve the country, some held sharp blades in their hands to stand up for us ordinary people, and some even walked barefoot on the road to help the world …"
"Teacher …" The middle-aged man hesitated.
"Confucians use literature to overthrow the law, while chivalrous men use martial arts to violate the law …"
"Are there no bad people among ordinary people?" The old man's words left the middle-aged man speechless.
"So, Little Zhou … We are all the same. Other than being stronger than us in terms of individual strength, their strengths and weaknesses are exactly the same as ours …"
"But, because of power, which most people can't refuse, they have been suffering from the injustice that we have given them for a long time, and they have been silently enduring it for nearly a hundred years …"
"Little Zhou, if it were us ordinary people, the world would still be the same as before, but science would be regarded as a different and powerful existence. We would also suffer the same situation as the mutants today. Are you … willing to continue like this?"
At this point.
The old man noticed the hesitation and complexity on the middle-aged man's face. After a moment of silence, he continued to speak.
"Little Zhou, you just said that for ordinary people to accept the mutants as a group, I'm afraid there will still be a long way to go in the future …"
"Then that's it …"
"If you can come up with a development plan today, sooner or later, you will successfully integrate the mutants into society. Today … just pretend that this old man didn't say anything."
"This …" Xiao Zhou hesitated when he heard this. It was obvious that he had not come up with a feasible plan.
"Can't you come up with it?" The old man wasn't surprised at all. He looked at his student with a smile and said,
"Little Zhou, you should know what kind of person I am. Could it be that you think that I … look like an extreme person?"
As he said that …
When the old man saw the doubt on Little Zhou's face, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
"Then … do you know why I expressed such an extreme view, even at the expense of the lives of many innocent people, to ensure that this disaster will become an opportunity for us?"
"…" Little Zhou thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Because we can't do it …" As expected, the old man once again explained to his student.
"If we still follow our original approach, not only will we not be able to guarantee that ordinary people will accept the mutants, but we won't be able to say how long the mutants will endure it …"
"In the future, if the problem completely erupts before we think of a solution to the problem and really implement it successfully, the ending … Will it be better than today's situation?"
"We have always insisted on dealing with problems with an objective and gentle attitude. In some unsolvable situations, this is also an extreme …"
