Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Seed of Evil
“Understood.” Shen Mo nodded lightly, “So, you and Du Lai are the first opponents I have to defeat.”
Fu Miaoxue stared at him, speechless.
Chang Weicai said, “Xiaoshen’s idea is right! Standing at the peak of power is indeed thrilling, but only montarily, such a world is distorted, unstable!
For everyone, for the whole world, we should work together to restore the world to its original state! To let everyone live a peaceful life!”
“What a grandiose speech!” Fu Miaoxue scoffed disdainfully, “Acting so noble, as if you have no ulterior motives. Who would believe that?!! When you guys beco the last kings, you might be even worse than us!”
As she spoke, she noticed Bai Youwei lowering her head and imdiately pointed her out, “See! She is feeling guilty as I just said!”
“…” Bai Youwei raised her head, irritable, “…Keep it down, stop bothering !”
Shen Mo calmly said: “You have a point. As long as one is human, they will have their own desires. But my reason to do this is not to save all of humanity, nor is it for world peace, I just…don’t want to be controlled.”
Fu Miaoxue was stunned.
Bai Youwei bowed her head lower.
Shen Mo said, “What do you think the purpose of this ga is? Establishing a series of rules, and now creating this thing called ‘war’, makes us fight each other with all our might, exposing all the extres of human nature, like lab rats undergoing various experints until we beco nothing more than a string of data.
The so-called ‘maze war’ may be the last of these experints, where the ‘king’ represents the results the ga seeks to validate.”
Saying this, Shen Mo purposefully glanced at Du Lai beside Fu Miaoxue.
“As ‘king’, if you approach this world in the mindset of playing a ga, even if you win, it’s the ga that wins. The humans are still the losers.”
Du Lai frowned but said nothing.
Professor Chang solemnly nodded his agreent, “That’s right… the ga wants to turn us into monsters. If we want to win, we have to return the will of the world back to human hands.”
Professor Chang took a deep breath and asked everyone, “Do you know about the news from a year ago about a college student hiring an assassin?”
Everyone shook their heads.
There’s too much news on the Internet every day. Among a myriad of bizarre stories, a student hiring an assassin hardly makes a ripple.
“I was once assigned to work at that school.” Professor Chang said, “It was an ordinary middle school with both high and low-performing students. Fights would occasionally break out but they were manageable. However, eventually…
A transfer student arrived at the school, a child who had been previously in a juvenile detention center. He beca the school bully, enforcing a set of rules on the students. Anyone who broke these rules would be punished and had to pay a hefty fine. Many students were suffering. We teachers tried to intervene but our efforts were futile. The entire school was in a state of chaos. Students couldn’t study peacefully, fights broke out all the ti. If anyone shed blood during a fight, they were regarded as ‘cool’ or ‘powerful’…
Later on, the headteacher and I made great efforts to contact parents, the education bureau, and other departnts. We managed to expel that transfer student. We thought the school environnt would improve after his departure, but it didn’t… not at all.”
The situation in the school worsened. The bullying rules put in place by the transfer student didn’t disappear after he left. A group of students, in their struggle to beco the next ‘Boss’, went so far as to hire an assassin, leading to the death of a forr schoolmate!
“That child… he left the seeds of evil behind.”
