Chapter 1654: Lucky Hit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Chao suddenly found it absurd.
Yun Feidian was the representative of the nine great families, and they were trying to frame an innocent citizen as a “monster in human skin.”
They did not seem hesitant about fabricating all kinds of evidence to implicate more innocent people. They labeled them as “monster remnants” and “non-citizens.”
Little did he know that this “innocent” was truly a monster in human skin!
Yun Feidian had made some mistakes and hit the nail on the head.
Exposing Lu Siya’s mask and stopping her conspiracy were certainly some of the things that Meng Chao had to do when he returned to Dragon City.
But now, Meng Chao was uncertain. Even if Yun Feidian and the others were 100% pure humans, how much better could he be than Lu Siya, who was a wild banshee?
How many chances would there be for a Dragon City that was ruled by Yun Feidian or Lu Siya to stop the apocalypse?
“That little girl, Lu Siya, is amazing.”
Even Shen Yuanbao, who was extremely experienced in conning, was sitting in the medical cabin and giving Meng Chao’s former close rade a thumbs up. “If Lu Siya had been even a little confused by her ambition and lust for power, she would have fallen into Yun Feidian’s hands and been revealed as a monster, doomed to eternal damnation.
“However, Lu Siya was able to control her ambition perfectly, which in turn prevented the crowd’s impulsive actions. In the meantime, she won herself more fame and the goodwill of thousands of citizens. With overwhelming public opinion on her side, she created an impenetrable amulet. At least, before the truth was out, anyone who dared to touch her would bee the enemy of Dragon City’s citizens.
“One could almost consider Yun Feidian as Lu Siya’s uncle. However, he’s not as good at concealing his ambitions as his niece!”
Meng Chao nodded.
“If Lu Siya falls into Yun Feidian’s hands, does the latter really have a way to prove that she’s a monster?”
Meng Chao was even more concerned about that.
“It is certainly difficult to create a flawless chain of evidence. With that said, it is indeed possible to create a chain of evidence that is flawless on the surface and difficult to verify with current technology.”
Shen Yuanbao said, “With our victory in the Monster War, we inherited a lot from the monster civilization, including, but not limited to, the corpses of Apocalyptic Beasts, living Hell Beasts, as well as the heavenly materials and earthly treasures found in the nests of many Apocalyptic Beasts.
“Right now, we live so extravagantly that we can use nanotechnology to cut the corpses of Apocalyptic Beasts into molecular-level slices, record the data into a superputer, re-model, and reassemble them into virtual Apocalyptic Beasts.
“The research on monster cells and monster genes has also made great progress.
“We’ve even discovered that the factors promoting the expansion of monster cells and the activation of various innate skills, as well as the factors promoting human beings to awaken extraordinary strength, are indistinctly similar.
“As far as I know, many forces are conducting experiments in secret. They’re trying to bine monster cells with human cells using gene modulation technology or trying to implant monster limbs and monster nerves into severely disabled people who are crippled or paralyzed. That way, they can replace traditional artificial limbs and give severely disabled people brand-new vitality, or even a stronger bat ability.
“Even Deity Realm warriors can’t resist the temptation of acquiring the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon’s innate skill while maintaining their original strength.
“Especially us old men. We spent more than half of our lives fighting for Dragon City, and we fought three hundred rounds with the monster civilization’s mastermind in the ultimate lair. Who isn’t covered in wounds and riddled with holes? Our cultivation has plummeted, and we don’t have long to live.
“The internal injuries that have been stacking up in our bodies for decades are no longer treatable by conventional means.
“If we find another way and introduce the monster’s power, we might be able to cure our wounds. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”
“I understand.”
Meng Chao said, “That’s why Universe Corporation has secretly built the Blood Flower laboratory. You want to utilize the power of the Blood Flower and the monster to help you break through your human limits and bee an existence beyond the Deity Realm!”
Shen Yuanbao did not deny it. “Universe Corporation is just following the general trend.” He smiled.
“In fact, because Universe Corporation is mainly engaged in the exploration, mining, and smelting of crystals, we do not have a deep technological reserve in gene modulation and monster research. Our Blood Flower laboratory is only the second level of existence among the secret R & D projects promoted by many mega corporations.
“Among the nine mega corporations, quite a few of them started their business from the fields of genetic medicine, monster harvesting, and spirit energy exploration. Their research in this field is much deeper than that of Universe Corporation.
“Take Yun Feidian’s Thundercloud Technology for example. Although it started with chip research and high-tech investments, it soon got involved in the research of monster neural networks.
“To be specific, the brain and the central nerves of a monster are removed from its body and loaded into a rune machine. Through the autonomous learning mechanism of artificial intelligence, the rune machine is made smarter.
“The brains and central nerves of monsters were implanted into Thundercloud Technology’s four automated weapons, Qiong Qi, Ba Xia, Gui Che, and Ying Long. They were able to think on their own, municate with their own kind, upgrade continuously, and deduce the best plan to plete missions.
“Their users don’t need to enter specific instructions. As long as they enter vague targets, such as ‘suppress a certain area, seize a certain stronghold, and eliminate all enemies in the area,’ the four self-propelled smart weapons would be tireless, fearless of death, and trying repeatedly until their target is achieved or all of them are destroyed!
“From this, we can see that Thundercloud Technology’s research on monsters is far more advanced than that of Universe Corporation.
“Since even we can build the Blood Flower laboratory, there’s no reason that Thundercloud Technology can’t build higher-level research facilities of the same type, is there?
“Yun Feidian is not boasting shamelessly. If Lu Siya really falls into his hands and rolls around in such research facilities, I believe that he has a hundred ways to prove that Lu Siya is a monster.”
Meng Chao’s eyes gradually sharpened.
Even if Lu Siya was a monster…
He did not want her to fall into Yun Feidian’s hands. No, he did not want her to fall into anyone else’s hands.
