Chapter 237: Shancheng Tragedy

Chapter 237: Shancheng Tragedy
Zhou Fei's file was not thick and there was nothing special about it. Wen Xishu also found Britney's file.

He read very quickly, barely glancing at it a few times before memorizing the contents. But he still tore off a key page from the file, and then put the file bag back to its original place.

After doing all this, Wen Xishu began to move towards the area with mild symptoms.

He first used Zhou Fei to interpret the rules and make a small loophole in the rules, because Zhou Fei's ability could create an error value in the rules within a small range according to his own will.

Then, Wen Xishu switched to Chris.

Firstly, Wen Xishu needs to use Chris's body to deal with the guards, and secondly, Wen Xishu has to explain something to Zhou Fei.

"Shouldn't I be in the archives room? Why did you switch to Chris again?" Zhou Fei said.

At this moment, Zhou Fei and Wen Xishu had already arrived at the first floor of the ward, ready to find their way to the mild illness area.

Wen Xishu said:
"Time is indeed tight. We must hurry up while the good people are still attracted by the delicious food. As for the files... I have already read them."

"I have basically figured out the rules for the moderate-sickness area. Before I get to the mild-sickness area... I have to switch to Chris to prevent some kind-hearted people from coming back. Although it is highly unlikely that he will come back so early, I have to do it out of caution."

Zhou Fei understood that Wen Xishu was worried that a battle was about to happen.

However, in the medium-sickness area, all the kind people had been transferred away at this time. Only those kind people in the ward who had not yet completed the transformation were still lying there.

Wen Xishu thought of more.

Not long ago, he had used violent means to eliminate several guards in the intensive care unit.

His move was so clean and efficient that the several kind guards fell to the ground before they could even react.

Wen Xishu dared to do this because he was certain that these kind people shared certain feelings, but those definitely did not include pain beyond a certain level.

On the battlefield, pain sharing is extremely deadly. If one person slashes your troops, the whole army will grit their teeth and mouths in pain. This setting will inevitably lead to the failure of the war.

However, out of caution, Wen Xishu chose Chris to lead the way, and Zhou Fei followed behind.

Of course, the second purpose of doing this is to tell Zhou Fei the truth about what he experienced.

"Let's talk as we walk, Zhou Fei. Everything you've experienced... has been turned upside down."

Zhou Fei was silent for two seconds, then followed:
"Speak, I want to know the truth."

Wen Xishu said:
"Just in case you don't believe me, I've torn out a page from the file. I'll show it to you when I take you out later."

"Next, I will briefly tell you what kind of world you live in. What your experiences are like."

If we find the memories that Zhou Fei himself doesn't know about, can we unlock Zhou Fei's sixth-stage skills?
This is what Wen Xishu wanted to test.

And what Wen Xishu said next really overturned Zhou Fei's cognition.

……

……

"Let's start with where you live. This demon city is far more terrifying than I imagined."

"Logically speaking, the time point when I appeared should be not long after the end of the world. Before the end of the world... at least humans would not be enslaved on a large scale."

"But I was wrong. Two constellations had been eyeing certain cities for a long time... so that shortly after the apocalypse began and people began to flee, these cities had completely become paradises for monsters."

“Humans don’t even realize that they are no longer the masters of this city, or they realize it but are powerless to do anything about it.”

Back in Caicheng, An Rong kowtowed to Scorpio and Pisces in order to gain strength to survive the apocalypse.

In fact, the same is true for the leaders of the Demon City.

The Demon City had been targeted very early on, because its economy was highly prosperous and developed. Such places are likely to hide countless twisted souls.

And those twisted souls will be very popular when the end of the world comes.

The original words in the file are as follows:

"Our rare species, the elite species, have slowly begun to take over the bodies of humans, but due to the harmonious coexistence proposed by that adult, we are unable to expand."

"But we are strong enough to make humans feel terrified all the time. As that adult's attention shifted to other cities, the other adult advocated expansion and conquest... We began to constantly invade the bodies of humans."

"We even opened the Good People Hall openly."

"The original purpose of the Good Man Hall was to tame those unruly souls. There are always some humans who will say that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and there are always some humans who will try to destroy other humans' impression of us."

"We have adopted a reporting reward mechanism to make humans kill each other, and they start reporting the evil people around them."

"Under this mechanism, the aggression in humans is quickly eliminated, and even if there is still aggression, it will only be directed towards themselves."

"Either become a good person, or become a kind person..."

"The emergence of the Good People Hall has made all humans in the entire Demon City friendly and harmonious, which is beneficial to our management."

"But there are some special beings here, and the process of us parasitizing them is very slow."

This is the story about the background of the Demon City that Wen Xishu learned from the archives.

Simply put, there are two zodiac signs involved.

At the beginning, the two constellations joined forces, Constellation A was responsible for conquest and expansion, and Constellation B was responsible for maintaining stability.

Originally, under the influence of Constellation B, the population of the Demon City was equal to the number of monsters. Perhaps Constellation B had a lot of ideas, and what he longed for was a city where humans and various evolved species could live together.

But regardless of whether this can be achieved, later on - Constellation B shifted its attention to other cities.

This may be the work of the A constellation, but A does not think balance is important. A believes that the strong should rule the weak.

While Constellation B is paying attention to other cities, Constellation A signals his men to expand frantically.

So the good guy began to parasitize continuously, causing more and more people to become good people.

Human beings are becoming fewer and fewer... and have become a vulnerable group.

The emergence of the Hall of Good People has put humans in an even more dangerous situation - by reporting the bad people around you, you can get rewards and gain material goods and recognition in this society.

In order to avoid being reported, you can't be a bad person...

Either become a good person, or force yourself to become good.

In the doomsday, being kind, obedient, and gentle are really not good things.

The Hall of Good People makes the bloodiness in the human soul disappear.

This is the background of the times.

Wen Xishu began to use the process of elimination to eliminate the constellations.

The answer he finally came up with was that the sign responsible for conquest and expansion was Leo.

Libra might be responsible for maintaining stability, but considering that Libra doesn't seem to get along with Leo...

It seems that every time a new force appears, I will gain favor with Libra, but it will reduce the favorability of Leo. Libra seems to be a person who likes chaos and likes to muddy the water.

The two should be naturally opposed.

So Wen Xishu thought of Taurus.

He is not sure about the style of this zodiac sign, but after thinking about it, there are only a few people who can work with Leo.

But this is not important.

After describing the background of the city where Zhou Fei was, Wen Xishu said:
"Your past is quite different from what you think you remember. Zhou Fei, you are not particularly smart... but you have a strong sense. It can even be said that you are a natural at gathering intelligence."

"In this city ruled by monsters, humans have the potential to become people of some kind. Lion... No, the ruler behind the city didn't actually kill everyone, and didn't choose to make the entire city full of monsters.

Perhaps they hope to cultivate some qualified people, and once their abilities are revealed, they can parasitize them and take them for themselves."

"As for you, Zhou Fei, the files show that you have been different from other children since you were young. You can easily notice the abnormalities around you."

"But the starting point of all this is that you met a child. The shadow of that child was very distorted. Remember, this is what you told me."

Zhou Fei nodded. Although his pace did not slow down and he always followed Wen Xishu, at this moment, Zhou Fei began to panic.

"That child is not a monster. That child is very important. Your specialness also started because of that child."

"From then on, you were able to always find something wrong around you." "Your parents have actually been feeding you all kinds of drugs, hoping to paralyze you, hoping that you can be an ordinary child, a little ignorant, a little kind, and not too eager for knowledge, just like all the fools, in that city full of kind people... be a weak and ignorant person."

In that environment at that time, the purpose of the monsters was to make people weak and ignorant.

Wen Xishu even saw the reason for choosing Britney in Britney's file.

Test people's reactions by playing a prank on a real person.

The files show that 94 percent of them had infiltrated the families of good people. When the good people saw Britney embarrassed and started crying, the good people laughed. So they infiltrated the families of good people, and others followed suit and laughed.

Only in 6 percent of families will there be someone who puts themselves in Britney's shoes and secretly wipes away tears.

These people were all sent to the Hall of Good People.

During the second test, 99.5 percent of the people began to react like the good people.

"Your parents also hoped that you would be weak and ignorant, but you were a curious baby, and you saw strange things. Since then, you have been closely watched."

"Zhou Fei, they are studying you. They are trying to know what you saw and who that child is."

Zhou Fei looked at Wen Xishu in surprise.

Wen Xishu continued:

"Later, in order to observe you closely, your parents were taken to the Hall of Good People and became good people."

Zhou Fei twitched.

This fact was too heavy for him.

"But at that time, you had already awakened some observation abilities, and you quickly discovered your father's molting."

"You've already started to be on guard."

"Under the influence of the drug, you can't distinguish between reality and dreams, but your inner vigilance is still there, so the file says--"

"We must find out who the child that the human Zhou Fei saw was, and whether the child with the strange shadow was the target that adult was looking for."

"Zhou Fei has begun to be wary of his parents, and his observation ability is far superior to other humans... We need a harsh living environment to interfere with Zhou Fei."

"To put it simply, Zhou Fei, you began to doubt your parents, so your parents were transferred away. In your memory, they went abroad. But the fact is... they died."

"They became good people a long time ago."

Zhou Fei clenched his fists.

Wen Xishu sighed:
"Sorry, should I continue?"

Zhou Fei gritted his teeth and said:
"Go on, I want to know the whole truth."

Wen Xishu did not slow down:

"Well, you started to doubt the whole world, so in order to stop you from doubting the whole world, they tried to get your uncle to raise you."

"Your uncle is a human, and your brother Zhou Ming is also a human."

"Living in a city like this, Uncle and Zhou Ming both know very well how to survive. Only ignorance can help them survive."

"Your uncle is eager to protect you and knows what good people want to see... He plays the role of a bad uncle and keeps targeting you."

"But Zhou Fei, although your impression of your uncle is very bad, you see, your health has always been good, right?"

Zhou Fei didn't say anything, his breathing was already a little rapid.

Wen Xishu continued:
"Your uncle's initial approach was to constantly suppress you, making you hate him and focus your attention on him. This is also consistent with what kind people are asking for."

"But his goal is to keep you alive."

"Because he doesn't want you to realize the truth about the world. Once you know that you live in a city full of monsters and have no ability to change it... you will be very miserable and easily targeted by monsters."

"You often can't distinguish between dreams and reality. You start to be affected by drugs. But I tell you, these drugs are not from your uncle, but from kind people."

"The kind people started giving you drugs that would make you speak your mind and make you sleepy and dreamy. That's why you can't distinguish between dreams and reality."

"But because you yourself don't know some things, the child's secret has never been uncovered."

"Gradually, they began to lose patience."

"It was also at this time that your uncle felt that he should let you know everything. He also realized that you didn't have that secret, the secret that would interest the great philanthropist..."

"Perhaps you will be pulled into the Hall of Good People soon."

"Your uncle was thinking about how to make you truly stop attracting their attention. So your uncle also started using drugs."

"But you misunderstood. Your uncle wanted to protect you. Even if you are dumb or stupid, you are still alive."

"During this process, your kindness touched your brother Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming decided to tell you everything. I think... Zhou Ming might want to escape from this city with you."

Zhou Fei had tears in his eyes without knowing when.

He suddenly choked up:

"How are they...?"

Wen Xishu sighed:
"In this environment...what can they do?"

"Their intentions were discovered by good people. So... you woke up again, but your brother seemed to have become a different person. Your uncle seemed to be the same uncle, but he could never tell you the truth behind it."

"Zhou Fei, they died and became good people."

Wen Xishu stopped and started walking back because there were some white coats in front of him.

He lowered his body and motioned Zhou Fei to follow him and hide in the bushes, waiting for those in white coats to leave.

Zhou Fei lowered his head, and finally couldn't hold back his tears from falling.

Humiliation, resentment, and sadness all came flooding in together.

In my memory, my uncle was indeed not a good man, but he had done everything an ordinary person could do for his own bloodline.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. In order to keep Zhou Fei alive and prevent him from being sent to the Hall of Good People, the uncle has been doing everything he can.

At this moment, Zhou Fei suddenly realized why his uncle hated him so much, but had to send him to the Good People Hall at the last minute. He could have sent him there much earlier.

It turns out that everything is fake and I am living in a huge lie.

Wen Xishu could feel Zhou Fei's mood at the moment.

He and Britney are both poor people in this city. The same goes for those who died. Even if they love someone, they have to love him in the form of hatred.

Because they are afraid of being seen, because they live in a place where they have no control over their own affairs and have no dignity.

Perhaps the earliest conception of the constellation that tried to maintain stability was for humans and non-humans to coexist peacefully, but now, Wen Xishu saw many templates, and the place where humans could truly live with dignity...

There was only a bunker.

"Wen Xishu... I want to avenge them." Zhou Fei suppressed his tears.

Wen Xishu was not sure.

This mission is not difficult. For Zhou Fei, Chris, and Britney who have awakened their abilities, it is really not difficult to escape from here. This is in line with Wen Xishu's judgment of the difficulty of more than thirty floors.

But killing the big boss behind the scenes may not be possible in this mission.

After thinking for a while, Wen Xishu sighed:
"Zhou Fei, stay alive first. If you stay alive, everyone's sacrifice will not be in vain."

Zhou Fei wiped away his tears:

"I understand. I won't act on impulse. I will definitely escape from here."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Next, we will meet up with the third victim, and we will escape from here today."
