Actually, I’m a person without much ambition, and the ultimate luxury I hope for, materially speaking, is...
In a peaceful world,
with a healthy body,
live a moderately prosperous life.
Uh... It would be even better if I could marry a wife beautiful as a heavenly fairy who understands well...
Is that too much to ask?
Complaining aside, the problems that need to be solved must be addressed.
What comforted him was that the Night Demon Clan behind Zhao Ge finally showed the tip of the iceberg.
The clues pointed faintly towards an intelligence network spread over the human world...
If Zhao Ge was a "puppet" controlled by Chao Shu, and Chao Shu was a higher-ranking mber within the Night Demon Clan, similar to a "regional intelligence officer,"
then their handler might just be... the director of the Jinghai Welfare Institute!
This character should be the one responsible for using human orphans to infiltrate the Night Demon Clan’s "own people" into human society...
That is, the "stationmaster" of the "intelligence station," responsible for "planting" and "turning" human spies!
As for assassins and other apparently physically enhanced humans, they should only be "action team mbers" ready to act when necessary.
They are the type with high force value but the lowest status, expendable soldiers.
And their ultimate boss, the "Director of the Intelligence Bureau," should be the so-called "Nest" in the Pacific...
Zhao Ge, Chao Shu, Jinghai Orphanage, the Nest... The organizational structure of the Night Demon Clan, ticulously layered and hierarchical, was fully revealed before him.
Obviously, the enemy’s thod was not to have the "form-undefined" Night Demon Clan infiltrate human society directly.
Instead, they would manipulate human children from a young age, ntally reprocessing them into controlled pawns, and then allowing them to operate openly in human society under human identities.
Mind control, of course, was more covert than easily detectable physical transformations.
This way, they could remain undetected in hiding for decades.
Compared with Zhao Ge, who was indistinguishable from regular people, Chao Shu, who held a higher position within the Night Demon Clan, exhibited so unique racial characteristics specific to them.
For instance, "blindness"...
Does this suggest that the brain modification by the Night Demon Clan on Chao Shu was more crude and profound than on Zhao Ge?
By comparison, although Zhao Ge was also a tragic puppet, at least he retained so semblance of freedom...
It was unlikely that the Night Demon Clan deliberately left this flaw; perhaps it was a reluctant compromise to let Zhao Ge retain more "humanity" to blend more naturally into human society...
"Spiritual Synchronization"... This was a very important skill clue!
The Night Demon Clan’s expertise in neuroscience evidently far surpassed that of Earth people, with an endless array of hypnosis and control thods.
But if one could find a way to break the Spiritual Synchronization, wouldn’t it be possible to turn these humans, who knew a great deal about the secrets of the Night Demon Clan, back again?
Zhao Ge! This person... might just be my breakthrough!
Humans are a complex species, sotis incredibly weak, a re fear of death sufficient to completely break them.
Yet at other tis,
the courage born of love is enough to resist all fears in the world...
ng Lang underlined the na of this key NPC, Zhao Ge, once more,
deciding to treat it as a critical target for his strategy!
Fortunately, among the intelligence ng Lang had, two more mbers of the Night Demon Clan were identified.
One was the director of the Jinghai Welfare Institute, and the other, the fugitive known as "Zhao Hu"...
Just follow these leads and sooner or later, the Night Demon Clan’s pawns will be rooted out completely!
Others investigating such an intelligence network might inadvertently alert the enemy, causing them to flee far away.
ng Lang, however, had countless opportunities to fail and thodically expose each and every one of these bastards!
Uh-huh!
He prepared to make a little notebook, to be called "ng Xiaolang’s List," noting down each one as he discovered them, ready for a sweeping roundup when the ti ca!
If these were only the gains against the opponent’s intelligence network, the other bits of seemingly inconsequential information obtained from "Chao Shu" were even weightier!
For instance... why did they call "Ming Shen Star," which was to reach Earth in 2043, a "seed"?
At first, he thought this "Ming Shen Star" might be a "whistle," specifically modified by the Night Demon Clan to play a "death lody" to purge the Earth people.
But later, he found that this thing actually possessed the ability to evade ballistic paths, leading him to believe it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Even later, he discovered that it could also serve as an ultra-high-speed, space-based "teor hitting Earth" weapon, capable of triggering massive tsunamis on a global scale...
So he was completely baffled and could only think of it as a "multi-purpose" starship cruise missile with "attack capabilities."
Yet now, the Night Demon Clan called it a "seed"...
If it wasn’t a malfunction of the translator, could it be that this "Ming Shen Star" holds so functions still unknown to him?
Seed... What kind of organism’s seed?
The seed of the World Tree? Or offspring of the Alien Queen of the Night Demon Clan?
It ca to Earth, seeking to use the soil here to grow... what exactly?
The thought alone sent shivers down his spine.
Apart from the strange designation, the other two answers from the other party were also perplexing.
He asked, "Your planet must be lacking sunlight?"
However, they countered, "Who told you we exist on a planet?"
If not on a planet, then where do they exist?
In an alternate dinsion?
Then he asked, "Why do you want to exterminate humans?"
The reply was... to survive!
This answer was even more thought-provoking...
The good news was that they actually considered re humans a threat to their survival...
This indicated that their power was limited, far from being one of those higher beings that could easily toy with the natives of Earth with just one spaceship.
It was essentially a reassurance to ng Lang.
His greatest fear was the existence of an insurmountable chasm in strength between them.
In that case, even if he persisted in "daily updates" until his brain burst, he might still never find a path leading to victory.
Such a future... was the most despairing of all.
However, the bad news was that once survival was at stake, it was almost impossible for both sides to find room for compromise, and the only option was a fight to the death.
In the end, only the victor reigns!
After multiple setbacks, ng Lang did harbor thoughts of compromise.
Otherwise, in the last episode, ng Lang wouldn’t have directly proposed negotiations with the other side’s upper echelon.
He truly wanted to test the waters to see if there was any possibility of peaceful coexistence between Earth people and the Night Demon Clan.
One can’t really bla ng Lang for being too cautious. With so many "pro-war" brothers wiped out, it wasn’t strange to have a "pro-peace" advocate erge.
One mustn’t hang oneself on the sa tree forever.
In WWII, Fusang was bombed by two mushroom clouds and scared into surrendering imdiately, their faces turning white as they raised the white flag of surrender.
The demands for disarmant were t, the demands for garrisoning troops were t, the demands to call the shots were never second-guessed!
In short, they were incredibly docile and compliant.
Looking at history through today’s lens, what if Fusang had refused to surrender back then?
Maybe "honorable death for the entire nation" would have been more than just a slogan...
Even the way of the warrior, which proclaid an ungrudging, unhesitating, and decisive death, could not withstand those two mushroom clouds.
Count how many tis the brothers have been subjected to "nuclear leveling" of the world?
Compared to those warriors, ng Xiaolang who is now considering "negotiations under the right conditions"...
He’s practically a hard man who sees death as a return to ho!
"Hiss!" With the sound of brakes, Yan Weiwei brought the car to a stop.
ng Lang looked up at the building in front of him, opened the car door, and got out with Yan Weiwei.
"Not a bad location, for your disciple brother to start a company in such a place at his age, he’s quite successful."
ng Lang surveyed the surroundings and comnted.
"Successful? How many tis has he started a business already, and you call those failures success?"
Yan Weiwei criticized her disciple brother without holding back.
ng Lang, however, shook his head empathetically.
"You don’t understand, all great successes are amassed over ti.
And those successful people aren’t necessarily exceptional.
They simply take a little more ground every day than everyone else..."
