Chapter 035 The Abandoned Land
"Then let's talk," Meng Shisan said, showing interest.
Everything changed so quickly that he hadn't noticed that the guy was still being controlled. Now that he had some free time, he didn't mind chatting with him.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhiyu and the others immediately pointed their guns at the middle-aged man.
His relaxed expression immediately tensed up again.
The people in the square retreated, their faces showing worry.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to mind. As he walked towards the platform, he asked, "Did you close the back door?"
Without hiding anything, Meng Shisan nodded and said, "Yes, just now, I made a deal with a guy named Bei Douchen, and afterwards he shut down the back door in my brain."
"So it was him." The middle-aged man realized. He had initially planned to end the turmoil by controlling Meng Shisan, but who knew he couldn't get in.
As he said this, he looked at Xu Xin again and asked疑惑地问道, "Was the deal because of her?"
"Yes," Meng Shisan said truthfully.
"What is her identity? Is she worthy of the Beidou lineage agreeing to your condition?" the middle-aged man asked curiously, but his gaze remained fixed on Xu Xin.
Xu Xin was also somewhat confused and stopped examining the injuries.
"How would I know that? Do you think that guy would tell me?" Meng Shisan shook his head. "To be honest, I'm more curious than you are."
But then again, who are you? A survivor of the abandoned land?
"You even know about the Abandoned Lands?" The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down. "Yes, being able to make deals with the Beidou lineage, you naturally have your own secrets."
Hearing him say that, Meng Shisan laughed: "Why do you always like to play with people's hearts? You always think that if I have secrets, everyone will not trust me?"
In this world, who doesn't have a few secrets?
If we're talking about who has the most secrets, can I compare to you guys?
Be careful not to get yourself into trouble. After all, my secret can't control everyone, but it can in yours. Do you think everyone will still trust you? Will they still tolerate you?
This guy was clearly trying to warn everyone that he, Meng Shisan, had a secret, and that they should be careful.
"That's right, judging others by one's own standards. So what if you have a few secrets? It's the same as telling everyone else." Someone immediately shouted in the square.
The middle-aged man shook his head before saying, "That's not what I meant. I just don't understand why you don't use your advantages to grow slowly, since you clearly know more than anyone else."
Look at Li Maoran and his ilk, they knew all about this a long time ago, but which of them actually did it?
Who doesn't take this opportunity to develop themselves?
You should know that exposing these secrets is not a good thing for you.
You could have been at the forefront, but now everyone's back to square one. Are you really content with that?
Humph……
Meng Shisan laughed, and after a long while said, "No, why do you all think that I would keep these things to myself? And that knowing a few secrets makes you think you're not on the same level as others?"
Who exactly gave you this misconception?
Liu Jiaming? Li Maoran or Xu Xin?
Maybe they are, but I'm really not. I'm going to make what you consider a secret into a worthless commodity, so that the whole world knows about it.
Because you are our greatest enemy.
Since you are enemies, why should I help you hide things?
Shouldn't everyone be on guard against you rats in the gutter?
After hearing what Meng Shisan had to say, the middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh.
"You are indeed crazy. We could have won together, but now we've lost. Why bother?"
Besides, even if we expose our existence, what can you do to us?
Destroy us?
It's not that I look down on you, but you don't even know what kind of beings we are, so how can you destroy us?
Young man, you are still too young. You should learn from Liu Jiaming, who pretends to be friendly with us while using us to find ways to strengthen himself and get rid of us.
Compared to him, you're still too inexperienced.
"Since you think my methods are naive, why were you in such a hurry to jump out?" Meng Shisan sneered. "Even if I had exposed you back then, what difference would it have made?"
If you don't take the initiative to speak out, people might not believe what I'm saying.
This is actually what he doesn't understand the most.
In that situation, if they hadn't come forward, the public wouldn't have had corroboration, and even if they believed it, it would inevitably have been discounted.
The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, offering no explanation.
But in his mind, Baozi said, "He was forced into it. When he realized he couldn't access your brain, he knew your back door was closed."
But he didn't know who it was, so he couldn't stop you. In desperation, he decided to kill you to prevent future trouble.
As for the tens of thousands of people in this square, after killing you, he is naturally confident that he can distort their perceptions.
Even if he couldn't do that, killing ten thousand people wouldn't be a big deal for him.
"Then he didn't really need to jump out, did he? 'Wouldn't it have been better to just hide in the shadows and distort these people's perceptions?'" Meng Shisan asked, puzzled.
"But there have already been precedents of backdoors being shut down. Isn't he worried about a second, a third, or even countless others? He doesn't know who you made a deal with, let alone the details of the deal. He doesn't dare to gamble."
They've been planning their schemes longer than you live.
Besides, sacrificing ten thousand or so lives is nothing to them.
If they were to truly threaten their plans, killing everyone in the base wouldn't be out of the question.
You shouldn't think too highly of yourself. In their eyes, whether you live or die is really unimportant.
After listening, Meng Shisan didn't feel offended. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm actually very curious about what kind of person you are."
I only knew before that you could influence our thinking...
But now it seems you can still completely control our bodies?
"Me?" The middle-aged man paused upon hearing this. "Actually, I didn't agree with Li Maoran calling us gods before."
Gods, how many years have you been silent?
However, some of us do like to consider ourselves gods.
But they forgot that it was those so-called gods who used us to create life! To create so-called humankind!
In the end, you beings who were created in our possession actually developed your own consciousness and then thought of cutting ties with us. In times of crisis, you thought of abandoning us.
On what grounds?
You, Meng Shisan, tell me, on what grounds?
You must understand that without us, there would be no human beings. To be precise, you are all our descendants.
But in the end, you won't even call me "father."
On what grounds?
"Damn it!" Yang Jiu, who had been quietly listening, immediately cursed upon hearing this, "You bastard, you want to be my father?! I have a temper like that!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush forward and fight the middle-aged man to the death.
But Cao Er, who was standing to the side, held him down.
"Are you looking to die? Be careful he doesn't make you kill yourself."
The others also looked surprised.
What the hell? Are we descendants of these guys?
Meng Shisan, however, grasped the crux of the matter: "Did life originate from you?"
"What do you think?" The middle-aged man shook his head. "Otherwise, how could we have left a backdoor in your minds? Doesn't that prove anything?"
"What is life made of?" Meng Shisan asked eagerly.
"Life, of course, originates from..."
"Enough." Just then, a sudden voice came from the loudspeaker, "Winston, you've talked too much today."
After reprimanding Winston, the loudspeaker blared again, "Meng Shisan, hand over the little girl beside you to Winston, and we'll pretend today's events never happened, how about it?"
Hearing this voice, Meng Shisan wasn't surprised. He knew that if the people in the square could be controlled, the guys in the bunker would be no exception. He immediately waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If you're not happy, just continue."
"Do you really think we don't have any means to deal with you?"
"I know you have them, so what?" Meng Shisan picked up the little girl and laughed, "But I also know that once I give in the first time, it will happen countless times."
Giving up 22 is impossible.
Just now, Er Er's light shout was enough to wake almost everyone up instantly, which shows that Er Er's value is immeasurable.
"Are you sure?" The voice from the loudspeaker was full of threat.
Everyone tensed up again.
