Reiki

All of a sudden, the golden blade that bloomed from the depths of Chu Ge's soul chopped off the black venom-like soul of the national teacher to pieces.

However, the scattered black souls squirmed and pieced together again, twisting like an unkillable earthworm, and asked mockingly: "Oh, is it true that taking someone's body forcibly is a wolf-hearted beast? As a soul shifter, you, who openly occupy the body of a soul beast, are you also qualified to say such a thing?"

Facing the interrogation by the national teacher, Chu Ge sneered: "National teacher, you are enough, don't try to use such sophistry to confuse my mind and hit my will to fight.

"Yes, I admit that I did occupy the body of the soul beast, but the soul beast is just an animal, a muddled beast, a brute without wisdom.

"Since humans have evolved for thousands of years, they are still firmly embedded in the food chain. Even the king at the top of the food chain is bound by the laws of nature. Humans must devour other creatures to survive, and they must use other creatures to obey the law. It’s a natural truth, and I neither deny it nor need to bear the slightest ridiculous sense of guilt for it.

"If it is an animal that has not yet awakened wisdom, let alone free will, no matter how you use it, you can at most give it a good time, but a higher life form that has wisdom and free will, and clearly knows who it is, are two completely different concepts. .

"I swear, all the soul beasts I have used have no intelligence or will at all. They have even undergone special modulation at the embryonic stage. At the beginning of brain development, they are prepared to carry human souls. Strictly speaking It is said that they have never produced a 'soul' at all, just a bunch of flesh and blood composed of cells, and tools composed of parts, there is no difference.

"As for those creatures who have awakened wisdom, know who they are, have free will and 'souls', whether they are humans, rat races, abyss monsters or you, whether they are enemies or friends, I have never thought of Kill your free will and devour your soul.

"I think this is the bottom line of human nature, and I am willing to do my best to fight for this bottom line, and I will never let your evil dreams come true!"

"It's really sweet to say. If I had my hands now, I couldn't help but applaud you."

The national teacher said coldly, "Then, what about Dr. Virus, his evil experiments and wanton manipulation of the soul have already broken through all the bottom lines of human nature. What qualifications does he have to be a human being?"

"As I said just now, even among human beings, there are people with a human face and a beast's heart, who are not as good as pigs and dogs, and the Celestial Organization is a collection of these dregs huddling together for warmth. Whether it is Doctor Virus or other members of the Celestial Organization, they are not eligible. Live as a human being."

Chu Ge said,

"National Teacher, if your ideal is to become someone like Dr. Virus, I will stop you at all costs!"

"Ha, haha, that's really good. The Celestial and Human organizations are all lunatics and demons like Dr. Virus. Naturally, they are not enough to emulate."

The national teacher laughed, the soul was surrounded by black mist, and it seemed more and more treacherous and unpredictable. It said mysteriously, "Then, I don't know if the giant beast of the abyss is considered a 'higher life with wisdom and free will', and a Is the regular army lieutenant colonel of the Earth Alliance qualified to serve as a model for mankind?"

Chu Ge was slightly taken aback: "Master, what do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just want to tell you a little secret."

The national teacher said, "Why do you think that Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting took such painstaking efforts to trick the soul of that abyss monster into the body of a little white mouse, and then get the little white mouse to the bottom of Lingshan City?"

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and said: "The military doesn't want this giant beast of the abyss to witness the fraternity of human beings, the prosperity of the Rat Race, and the cooperation between humans and the Rat Race. In this way, the giant beast of the abyss will relax Vigilance, let it have a deeper understanding of human civilization, increase its goodwill towards us, and then become our ally, helping us defend the lifeline at sea together?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The national teacher suddenly laughed wildly, and his soul almost burst into laughter. It stretched out countless tentacles from the depths of its soul, pointed at Chu Ge tremblingly, and laughed, "You are so naive and cute, Chu Ge, do you really believe Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's words?" What nonsense, do you believe that an organization like the Earth Army, which takes killing as its vocation, will go to great lengths to set up a "paradigm of peace" and use such a complicated and uncertain method to win the favor of a monster?"

"this……"

Chu Ge was speechless for a moment.

The words of the national teacher mercilessly tore apart the doubts in his heart, and made Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's lie, which was not difficult to see through, become mottled and fragmented.

"Let me tell you, the truth is not what Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said at all, such as 'friendly visit', 'model of peace', 'I hope to establish a deep friendship with the giant beast of the abyss, and fight side by side as an ally in the ocean and deep sea'. "

The national teacher said coldly, "The truth is actually very simple. From the moment when the giant beast of the abyss was locked and found to have a low IQ and was just a child, the military, yes, the Earth Alliance loves peace, upholds justice, and defends The military of light decided to destroy its soul, seize its body, and put it completely under its own control.

"In other words, from the very beginning, your military wanted to 'seize' this abyssal beast. Yes, it is exactly the same as what I am doing."

"What!"

Chu Ge was shocked.

"Why, don't you believe it? Although I don't have any evidence, as long as you think about it carefully, you should know that this is the only correct answer."

The national teacher sneered, "Your military, especially the crow troops led by Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting, are not good men and women who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, let alone encounter giant beasts of the abyss who are not of our race. Be different' guy.

"Instead of approaching it cautiously, slowly gaining its favor, negotiating various conditions with it, and getting it to agree to cooperate with the military, and risking its turning against it for various reasons... No matter how you think about it, this It is a plan that does not meet the taste of the military at all.

"For the military who are accustomed to solving problems with the simplest and most brutal methods, they cannot tolerate such a super uncontrollable factor, which is always dangling under their noses and on their lifelines, destroying the souls of abyssal behemoths and capturing Its body is basically the instinct of the military.

"It just so happens that although this abyssal monster has an independent soul, due to the growth environment, its wisdom has not yet matured, and it is still an innocent and very easy-to-deceive child.

"So, your military lured it all the way to the outer waters of Lingshan City, and tricked its soul into the body of a little white mouse with sweet words, and then secretly sent the little white mouse into the underground of Lingshan City, preparing to severely injure it here soul, waiting for an opportunity to seize its body.

"In other words, when Dr. Virus was secretly digging his traps, your military was also sneakily digging their traps. It's a pity that both Dr. Virus and the military are short-sighted idiots. In the end, they all trapped themselves and dug their own pits. Just bury yourself."

"..."

Chu Ge had nothing to say.

Although he wanted to refute the national teacher loudly, but recalling Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting and himself when they explained the so-called truth, Chu Ge had to regretfully admit that perhaps the national teacher's version of the truth was closer to the confusing facts.

"You believe it, don't you?"

The souls of the national teacher and Chu Ge are deeply entangled, and Chu Ge's every move cannot escape its perception.

Sensing Chu Ge's hesitation, it laughed smugly and wildly, "So, put away your clichés about the 'bottom line of human nature'! If we say that regular soldiers who are supposed to represent the bottom line of human nature can arbitrarily violate or even seize other The soul of intelligent life even designs to deceive a monster whose IQ is equivalent to that of an innocent child. So where is the so-called "bottom line of human nature"?

"Admit it. The bottom line of human nature is that there is no bottom line. It is to do everything to survive. From this perspective, there is no essential difference between Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting and Doctor Virus, and neither is the Earth Alliance and the Celestial Organization. The essential difference, good people and bad people, good dogs and bad dogs, are all the same, we are all just beasts that do whatever it takes to survive!

"I don't think I'm any more evil than Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting. Since even a guy like him who has no bottom line can become a lieutenant colonel of the Earth Army and fight for human civilization, why can't I, um, why? I can not!"
