Tokyo underground city

Chapter 121 Deception

Lin Huai'en's words made the silver-haired woman stunned for a moment.

She tilted her head in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Lin Huai'en glanced at Officer Shao and saw that he had no objection, so he took the initiative to take a step forward.

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth and said:

"All the statements are made by you alone. How can we confirm whether your statements are true?"

"What are you talking about?"

The silver-haired woman thought for a moment and replied.

"No one knows what Sen Yan is thinking except herself." Lin Huai'en nodded and said, "Even if she didn't resist, it's possible that she lost the courage to resist and didn't really accept this. A fate of imprisonment."

Lin Huai'en looked at his companions in the rescue team and said calmly: "I think it is impossible for a normal person to accept the fate of being imprisoned by monsters for life."

Seeing the stunned expressions of others, the silver-haired woman frowned and said:

"But she is not a prisoner, but she contributes herself to the queen and the entire ant colony, and she also gets a sense of accomplishment from it - don't you humans also long to find this feeling of 'home' in something?"

"Yes, we are looking for a destination." Lin Huai'en nodded: "But not this false dream."

"No matter how beautiful your whitewash is, you still can't deny it. You just use Sen Yan as a tool to strengthen the ant colony. As a reward, you can give them either pleasure or a sense of accomplishment - "

Lin Huai'en narrowed his eyes gently: "Just like those giant cicada monkeys -"

Lin Huai'en heard Yuan Xiaole behind him exclaim "Ah".

Indeed, if you just look at the silver-haired woman's words, you shouldn't be able to understand the situation of Sen Yan and the others.

But if we jump out of the context of the silver-haired woman and compare the experiences of Senyan and the others, there is actually no fundamental difference between them and the giant cicada monkey.

Lin Huai'en knows very well that before listening to what someone says, you must see how they do it.

"Fire-breathing ants, self-violating ants, armored soldier ants, soul-prisoning ants, violent cicada monkeys, placental cicada monkeys——"

"Finally, there are soul-capturing ants."

"With all due respect, the nobles' approach is far from the 'peace and justice' I know."

Lin Huai'en said aggressively: "Can the nobles promise not to use the knowledge and technology obtained from Mori Yan and Aizen in war?"

The silver-haired woman thought for a while: "We can promise -"

However, Lin Huai'en immediately interrupted her: "Promise? How to promise? Speaking of which, can your promise be regarded as the promise of the entire ant colony? What is your relationship with the queen? To put it bluntly, how can you guarantee that the queen will obey you? Commitment, or to put it another way—"

"How can you guarantee that the queen ant will actually fulfill its promise?"

The silver-haired woman frowned: "Don't think of us as you humans -"

"We humans?" Lin Huaien immediately interrupted her: "No, I'm sorry, I didn't treat you as a human being."

He said categorically: "I just treat you as another species! No matter what species it is, as long as lying helps them, they will evolve the ability to lie! It doesn't matter whether they are human beings! Not to mention, you Having absorbed so much knowledge from explorers, will their thinking patterns teach you to lie? You can’t even answer me!"

The silver-haired woman narrowed her eyes and never opened them. She said slowly:

"The prerequisite for peace is trust——"

"But 'trust' is an overdraft of information."

Lin Huai'en replied without hesitation: "I don't believe in baseless trust. You and I are just meeting for the first time. I will choose to treat you with a stranger's attitude."

The silver-haired woman was silent.

Lin Huaien knew that she could not answer this question.

Because this question itself is a chain of suspicion. If you think about this question, there will be no results at all.

Because peace itself is nothing more than a false proposition.

The so-called peace is nothing more than the behavior of two actors looking for boundaries with each other. Without strong resistance capabilities, the boundaries will only retreat again and again under the threat of other subjects.

The premise of all political behavior is violence.

Lin Huai'en and the others could only use the large forces of the Public Security Bureau and Officer Shao's personal abilities to threaten each other.

As for the silver-haired woman, what can she use to threaten Lin Huaien and the others?

Are those dozens of armored soldier ants outside the throne room?

Lin Huaien always felt a little strange.

He didn't understand why the silver-haired woman just accepted her when she didn't see a good outcome——

She clearly did not show any violent execution, but instead kept emphasizing her position and her moralistic aura - which is the weird statement that Senyan stayed on her own initiative.

"The most efficient way to rule is to brainwash."

"Even if Sen Yan really wants to stay, it doesn't constitute any answer."

Lin Huai'en replied in an unusually firm tone: "Maybe there are many problems in our society, and Sen Yan's experience is indeed pitiful, but this does not constitute a reason for us to give up on her -"

"At least, I firmly believe that no matter how bad our human civilization is, it is much better than your insect swarm society!"

The silver-haired woman opened her eyes suddenly, and there was no emotion in her silver eyes: "Even if I go back to be a member of the lower class of society, is it better than becoming the ruler of the insect swarm?"

Lin Huai'en smiled strangely.

He knew that the silver-haired woman finally showed her flaws——

"The ruler of the insect swarm?" He suddenly smiled: "How many people can you make become the rulers of the insect swarm?"

"What about the others? Let them become slaves of the soul-capturing ants?"

Lin Huai'en has not forgotten what Yuan Xiaole said.

Dungeon species are always invaders to surface civilization.

There is no real peace, only a relative balance of power. Even if there is an existence like the Mummy Swordsman, if Lin Huai'en cannot conquer the Salt 10 shelter, the opponent will give up without hesitation.

And how many of those "guardians" that Officer Shao calls are truly well-intentioned? How many people see only their own goals and interests?

The essence of morality is a survival strategy, and "good, evil and justice" are the result of ideological indoctrination.

Lin Huai'en did not believe that there was real peace in the hearts of the ant queen and the silver-haired woman.

They are just afraid of the current power of human civilization, and when they gain power that is on par with humans, they will not hesitate to launch an attack on the surface world——

Even in the name of the beginning, it was just to break away from the underground city and occupy a small piece of magical soil on the ground.

Thinking of this, Lin Huai'en pointed at the silver-haired woman's body and said word by word:

"After all, who are you? Are there really aboriginal women who stand firmly with something like an ant colony?"

"What's more, we know much more about the underground city than you think!"

Lin Huai'en replied firmly: "16th floor below Changying——"

"There is no humanoid race like you!"

.

Lin Huai'en has not read the information on the 16th floor of Changying, but if there is a beautiful humanoid race similar to the silver-haired woman on the 16th floor of Changying, the Valletta Society would have exploded.

He believed the old critics on the forum, so he decided to use words to deceive the silver-haired woman.

But he didn't expect that it would be fine if he didn't cheat, but something would happen if he cheated.

The silver-haired woman looked at him and smiled——

"I didn't expect that individuals like you actually exist among humans."

"I clearly use the language that best suits your human thinking."

"Perhaps this is what you call an 'important asset'—"

The silver-haired woman slowly flew high into the sky, and outside the gate, countless armored soldier ants and large soldier ants were pouring in.

Officer Shao sighed: "Originally, I wanted to wait until the pass was returned to the ground before causing trouble for them——"

But Officer Shao's words were interrupted by Deputy Lu.

The female police officer, half of her eyes covered by bangs, took out five bullets with a strange luster from her sleeves and pressed them into the magazine:

"But I think it's better this way, to get rid of them in one go-"

"Just like what we usually do!"

So, political negotiations and so on are really dirty——

After hearing what the two people said, Lin Huai'en couldn't help curling his lips.

In the absence of any binding force, it is a game where you lie to me and I lie to you. Any contract can be torn up at any time as long as it is strong enough for you.

"Is violence the only way to rely on..."

Lin Huai'en pulled out the Gray Green Fury.

And the five pioneers, including Aizen, also had a lot of equipment on their bodies——

They all wore them after hearing the ant queen say that they could choose whatever they wanted.

Aizen even took off his T-shirt in front of everyone, with his back to them, and put on a protective vest.

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but feel a little emotional——

This woman is really fierce.

After Aizen put on his gloves again, he showed extremely terrifying fighting power.

All cicada-eating ants that came close to her, even armored soldier ants, were destroyed by her with one punch.

Then at this moment, seven or eight corpses had fallen beside her feet, and the crushed exoskeletons were all covered with thick ice crystals.

When Lin Huai'en saw that he didn't need his help, he turned to look at the silver-haired woman floating in the air.

Lin Huai'en and Officer Shao looked at each other, and Officer Shao nodded.

The silver-haired woman was floating high in the sky with a silver force field shield in front of her. Even the magic-marked bullets fired at her by Adjutant Lu were easily deflected by the force field shield.

As the ace in the team, Officer Shao cannot take action easily when the situation is unclear.

So it was Lin Huaien's turn, a melee professional with flying and long-range capabilities.

Lin Huai'en turned the gray-green fury in his hand into a side sword state.

He jumped out, stepped on the long table and kicked hard, then jumped towards the silver-haired woman in the air.

The silver-haired woman looked at him with an indifferent expression. She did not attack, but only raised the altitude.

This strange situation made Lin Huai'en feel a little strange.

However, he glanced at the full value of 25 points of curse power and activated Thorny Bird's Thorn without hesitation.

Black lightning flew out from the side sword and stabbed straight at the silver-haired woman.

The silver-haired woman just ducked to the side, but still didn't launch an attack!

However, the silver-haired woman did not know that Lin Huai'en's Thorn Bird's Thorn had the ability to change direction.

He just flipped his wrist, and the thorn bird's thorn cut across a 90-degree right angle and penetrated directly into the silver-haired woman's head!

"Success!"

For a moment, Lin Huai'en felt that he had hit the target.

But a ball of silver light suddenly burst out from the head of the silver-haired woman, which stung his eyes. When he looked again, the silver-haired woman was still floating in the air, seemingly unharmed!

"Missed?!"

He was shocked, but felt something was wrong.

Lin Huai'en glanced at the Gray Wrath in his hand and suddenly realized -

It’s the feel!

He was very sure that he stabbed the silver-haired woman, but she was avoided somehow!

"Although Thorn Bird's Thorn is a long-range stab, it is essentially a melee attack that can be controlled by me!"

"But when I stabbed the silver-haired woman, I didn't feel any hit in my hand!"

"Is it an illusion spell? Where is the silver-haired woman's true identity?"

Lin Huai'en stood on the queen ant and subconsciously looked around.

Then he immediately reacted: "No -"

"This is not a question of where the silver-haired woman's true identity is at all—"

"But she has always been a phantom!"

They have never had any substantial contact with the silver-haired woman, so they instinctively believe that the other person is a real existence——

But a more reasonable guess would be to guess that the silver-haired woman was a powerful illusionist.

Might as well think of her as a phantom herself!

As he said himself, how could a normal human woman mix with an ant colony!

If you take into account that the opponent is always dodging, has not launched an attack, and can easily ignore bullets, this guess is even more likely.

So Lin Huaien immediately looked at Officer Shao, who had been paying attention to him, and shouted to him:

"Officer Shao! This is an illusion created by the Queen Ant! She is just a phantom!"

Seeing that her true identity was exposed, the silver-haired woman smacked her tongue in dissatisfaction and disappeared.

Instead, under Lin Huai'en's feet, the body of the queen ant suddenly gave out a huge vibration, as if something wanted to hatch out of it.

"Lin Huaien! Get out of there! Let me handle the queen ant!"

When Officer Shao saw this scene, he was finally ready to take action.

He held the steel spear, and his whole body emitted the same iridescence that Lin Huaien had when he saw him use his skills for the first time.

It's just that this iridescence is much weaker than the first time, with only a thin layer.

But even so, it is enough to deal with the queen ant that has not yet fully activated!

He waved his arms.

A huge hole tore open in the body of the queen ant.

Officer Shao even only attacked the abdomen of the queen ant, avoiding the possible mid-torso of Sen Yan's body.

Lin Huai'en looked at the burning body of the queen ant and couldn't help but think:

"Such a huge body, it's as if it was specially prepared for Officer Shao."

He jumped off the Queen Ant's body and subconsciously looked at the battlefield.

But suddenly he came back to his senses——

"Wait?! Specially prepared for Officer Shao?"

A creepy feeling moved from his spine to his body——

All this time, it was the silver-haired woman who told them that the huge black worm in front of them was the cicada-eating ant queen——

But if Lin Huai'en was a silver-haired woman... would he really tell the enemy the true identity of his leader? !

Lin Huai'en looked at Officer Shao and smiled weakly, and warned him loudly:

“Officer Shao—be careful!”
