This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 258 The Real Enemy

(Are you crazy?! Are you just turning a blind eye to the lives of thousands of people?!)
(You calm down! Calm down! This is the life of a city, you can't do this!)

The writing on the wall has been distorted to varying degrees, and it can be seen that Roja is in a hurry now.After several months of contact, Roja thought that he had seen through Zhou Li, this seemingly crazy but calm man.

However, he was wrong.

Zhou Li is a complete lunatic.

He has completely regarded more than 1000 million human lives as a bargaining chip for stud at any time, and what scares Roja the most is that Zhou Li has no psychological burden on his behavior at all, as if those human lives are really just a bunch of measurable The value of gold coins is average, throwing it out is just throwing it out.

"Oh?"

Zhou Li raised his eyebrows, this time, he smiled happily.

"I've said it all, don't worry, as long as you worry, others will find your flaws, haven't I taught you?"

(You are brave, you shouldn't put so many lives on these explosives!)

Without directly answering Zhou Li's question, Roja knew that when he stopped Zhou Li from committing suicide in the first place, he had already shown his cowardice.But he had to do this. If Zhou Li really went mad and killed everyone in the city, not only would he not be able to build the Utopia, but he would even bear the monstrous reputation of massacring the city.

"none of your business?"

With a disdainful laugh, Zhou Li crossed his arms and manipulated the long sword against his throat. He looked at the characters left in the Gospel and asked jokingly, "You criminal kidnapped me morally. Your confidence?"

"It's only 1000 million people, and death is death. Just like the solution to my magic car problem, how can there be so many tangled choices in a drifting world?"

Zhou Li's violent remarks made Roya Khan almost flow out of the book, he felt dizzy for a while, and didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Torea felt her hands and feet were cold, and she was sweating all over her body.

The scene in front of me now is that Zhou Li, surrounded by black mist, is stepping on the table, holding a sword in his right hand, and pointing at the wall with his left hand. His face is full of arrogance and domineering. It belongs to the image of a terrorist who can be killed first and interrogated later on the street. .If another person sees this scene, he will definitely think this is:

The brave man who wanted to create a new world of Gospel met the terrifying demon who put 1000 million people on a time bomb.

Now, Roja felt regret spreading in his heart.If he had known this, he would never have shown up to talk about the return with Zhou Li, but now it is too late, the situation has reversed, and Zhou Li has the absolute right to speak.

Roja never imagined that a person could be so careless about human life.Am I the villain or are you the villain?I am obviously the mastermind behind the scenes, why am I here to dissuade you from killing someone?what's the situation?
"Now, it's your choice."

Zhou Li opened his mouth, vividly embodying his fine tradition of pushing his nose on his face, and said unceremoniously: "You obediently hand over the Gospel, I will not ignite black powder. At that time, I will get what I want, you Saved the city, best of both worlds."

You are the villain, right? Why did you even use the word rescue?

Without delving into the issue of Zhou Li's wording, Roja quickly wrote: (Impossible, if human beings continue to stay in the hotbed without thinking about progress, the gods will harvest everyone sooner or later, I must keep the fire)
"Do you know why I stopped you?"

Zhou Li spoke suddenly, and he withdrew the arrogant and domineering expression just now, and replaced it with a mocking smile.

(I don't understand)
(Mr. Zhou Li, I never wanted to harm human beings, all I want to do is to keep the fire of human hope, you should not stop me)

"Let me tell you a story."

Zhou Li seemed to have thought of something, he sighed, put down the long sword in his hand, sat cross-legged on the table, and said slowly: "I'll tell you a story of aggression."

(all ears)
"The story is very simple. A low civilization accidentally created a huge horn. He sent out a signal in the dark world, hoping to get a kind reply."

"He did get a reply, a reply from a higher civilization. But the content of the reply was not kind, on the contrary, it was a notice."

"Hello, we will eliminate you in one year."

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and Zhou Li turned the black mist in his hand, his tone was slightly mocking, "This is the answer of a higher civilization."

"According to the calculations of scientists...professionals, the power of this advanced civilization is far superior to that of low-level civilizations by countless times. It is so powerful that low-level civilizations will never be able to catch up. It is easy for high-level civilizations to destroy their own civilization."

"Then at this time, three factions have emerged within this low-level civilization."

Stretching out three fingers, Zhou Li put down his index finger first, "The first faction is called the resistance faction."

"The resistance faction, as the name suggests, is to use all its strength to resist, and it is the mainstream of this low-level civilization."

Pressing down the second finger, Zhou Li continued, "The second faction is called the Escapement Faction. Because the distribution of escapees cannot be done fairly, this faction was quickly abandoned and turned to underground activities."

"The third faction is called capitulationism."

The corners of Zhou Li's mouth curled up slightly, and his right hand was like a fist, but it looked weak, "The lower civilizations request the higher civilizations to store their brains in a beautiful virtual world. In this world, the lower civilizations will To obtain a perfect life, without oppression, without war, but with inexhaustible resources.”

(I didn't ask the gods for peace!)

"Don't worry."

With a smile, Zhou Li continued gently: "This faction was suppressed at the beginning, because it seemed to be no different from Escapism, and it was a cowardly move. But slowly, as the fleet of higher civilizations gradually approaching, capitulationism began to slowly prevail.”

"The reason is simple. Capitulationism is extremely fair, and everyone can enter this virtual world. People gradually find that instead of accepting squeezed and shrinking resources in the real world of preparing for war, it seems that the virtual world is not so It’s not easy to accept. On the contrary, the real world seems to be more cruel.”

Roja was silent.

He gradually understood the meaning of Zhou Li's story.

"Guess what is the ending of the story?"

Zhou Li threw the question to Roja, but this time, Roja didn't answer quickly.Instead, he fell into a long silence.

"The end of the story is simple, the capitulation faction wins."

He smiled, as if he was very satisfied with the ending, and said happily: "Humanity conducted twelve large-scale ballots. In the penultimate ballot, the support rate of the surrender faction was as high as 90.00%. On the next day In the final vote, the surrender faction achieved [-] percent support."

"Because the remaining 90.00% were killed by [-]% of the public opinion."

An ironic and mocking look appeared on Zhou Li's face, and at the same time, there was a lingering sadness, "Finally, the higher civilization easily took over the world of the lower civilization. Without any resistance, There was no rebellion whatsoever, everything was so logical and there was no resistance."

"The last price paid by advanced civilizations is to regularly replace two batteries in a huge machine. It is ridiculously cheap to them. This matter will eventually plunder all the resources in the world of low civilizations."

"but…"

A turning point, a turning point that shocked Torreya and the others appeared.

"Capitulationism didn't have that name at all in the beginning."

The long sword touched the wall, Zhou Li stood up, with neither joy nor sadness on his face, and told the cruel truth.

"It's called: Project Tinder."

"Put the elites of civilization in the virtual world, follow the spaceship secretly created by the Escapism to leave this world, and wait for the opportunity to regain their own world."

"Do you know why the Tinder project ended up being capitulationism?"

The tip of the sword pierced into the wall, Zhou Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly under Roja's bewildered gaze, "It's very simple."

"Because human beings are always selfish."

Why?Why didn't I escape from this world?Why should I pin all my hopes on a frozen brain?Why should I die?
Why, am I not Tinder?
When countless reasons intertwine and finally condense into raging public opinion, even if your plan is to let the virtual world keep the fire of the world, it will become to let human beings live in the virtual Yongle world.You want the human race to have hope, but human beings only want to keep themselves alive.

So, the tinder project turned into capitulationism.

"Now, do you understand?"

Zhou Li looked at the wall in front of which no longer words appeared, not worried that Roja had disappeared, "That's why, I want to stop you."

(Not the same! It's not the same!)

Excited words emerged, and Roja quickly wrote: (I can control the Gospel world, I will not let capitulationism appear, I will let the human beings in the Gospel world develop rapidly and directly confront the gods)

(I am resistance! Not flight!)
"An ant waving its mouthparts at you, what would you do?"

Zhou Li ignored the excited Roja, but asked a question abruptly.Roja didn't react, and after a long time, he hesitated to give the answer.

(I won't bother)

"What would you do if it were an ant that was going to drag your long-sought treasure into its nest and hide it?"

(Track, then take treasure)

"Then if the treasure is a poisonous substance and the ants don't know it, but move it into their nest, what will you do?"

(I...I won't bother)

"Then, although the low level of civilization is low, the intelligence is not low. They have long known the consequences of the fire plan if it is leaked, and have long listed the fire plan as the highest level of confidentiality. Let me ask you, why? Will the public know about Tinder in just a few days?"

Just as Luo Ya was about to answer "human selfishness", suddenly, he remembered Zhou Li's previous question, and soon, a chill appeared in his mind, piercing every inch of his "nerves" like needles ".

"It is the higher civilization that leaked these plans."

"Because they know that this seemingly threatening plan is actually a deadly poison to human beings."

"Guess, gods, are you a fool?"

"You are holding an artifact they imitated. Do you think the gods will not know your plan?"

These words pierced Roja's chest like a sharp sword. He stared blankly at Zhou Li in the book. At this moment, he finally remembered.

The Gospels...was produced by the Church of Literature.

"Do you really think that I have been fighting against you?"

With a sneer, Zhou Li withdrew his long sword, his voice filled with coldness, "Roja, do you really think I guessed your identity last?"

"A person who can be involved with the Gospel at any time, who is always with me at my side, and who can always appear at the most appropriate time for events and connect with me."

"Slowly continue the "story" named Zhou Li, and add settings by yourself from time to time. You are always watching me like a bystander. To be honest, Roja, you are the worst I have ever seen. behind the scenes."

With a disappointed look, Zhou Li shook his head and sighed, "Roja, I'm sorry to tell you."

"Whether it's the grotesques, the omens of the plague, Most, or you, I have never regarded you as a real opponent."

(I can't stop the flood!)
Without struggling or going crazy, Roja, who had thought everything through in an instant, wanted to stop this endless rainstorm, but he was shocked to find that he had lost control of the Gospel.

(The Gospel is manipulating me! He is manipulating me!)
(Kill me, Zhou Li! Kill me!!!)
(He...he was watching...Thomas is not dead, no he is dead, no!!! He is not Thomas at all, he is the god of literature!!!)

(KILL ME!!!)
(I'm right around you!)
"Whoo~"

Taking a long breath, Zhou Li closed his eyes, and he knew the answer Roja gave him.There was no farewell words, nor any consolation, Zhou Li just silently raised his long sword and closed his eyes.

The torrential rain and thunder outside never ceased. With Torea's astonished expression, the black mist covered the wall beside everyone, and then blasted it.

The booming sound was covered by the thunder, but it was stronger than the thunder in the ears of Lin Zi and Torreya.After the wall was blown apart by the black mist under the horrified gaze of everyone, layers of paper filled with various fonts flew out of the ruined wall and fell like snowflakes in the torrential rain.

Zhou Li pierced the long sword into the paper at his feet and turned it upside down. On the cover paper, a line of dark golden text appeared in everyone's sight.

"Roa"

His gaze is like a torch, and his momentum is like a rainbow.Zhou Li held up the sword of power, his expression was indifferent, black mist and thunder flashed alternately, spreading all over his body.The rain fell on his shoulders, but it was instantly melted.

"The only thing I really fight against is the gods."
