Chapter 183 - On Human Beings

If the Wraiths were once human beings.

Then these people were undoubtedly hot-tempered.

After being walked by Chen Yu for a few hours, these Wraiths entered the body, and the first sentence was surprisingly consistent.

(F*ck you!)

(F*ck you!)

(F*ck you!)

(I’m exhausted, f*ck you.)

(F*ck you…)

(I don’t want to eat anymore. I just came in to scold you. F*ck you…)

Chen Yu: “…”

The originally empty consciousness had become extremely crowded.

Thousands of human-shaped Wraiths opened and closed their mouths at the same time, gradually cursing out a sense of rhythm.

(1, 2, 3)

(F*ck you!) × 1064

(1, 2, 3)

(F*ck your mother!) × 1103

Chen Yu: “…”

After an unknown amount of time, the Wraiths were tired of scolding. They gathered in a circle and began to discuss how to start eating.

After all, they had never seen so many ‘wolves’ fighting over a piece of ‘meat’.

(I think we should follow the democratic system. Through voting, we should elect a few representatives and eat for everyone.)

(No. I suggest the communist system. Everyone should eat together.)

(Even worse. There are too many people and not enough to share. The primitive law of the jungle is better. Whoever is stronger will eat.)

(Even worse! How can we kill each other? How about the elite system? Whoever has more knowledge will eat it.)

Chen Yu: “…”

(This is a good idea. What kind of knowledge should we compete for?)

(What else can we compare? Science, theology, and philosophy.)

(No, according to Hegel’s classification method, all knowledge can be classified into philosophy, subdivided into logical philosophy, natural philosophy, and spiritual philosophy.)

Chen Yu: “…You… Are you really Wraiths?”

(Shut up!) × 1320

Chen Yu: “…”

(Where were we?)

(Philosophy.)

(Yes, philosophy. I think that if knowledge wins, then spiritual philosophy is a very good arena. It is based on psychology and covers a wide range of aesthetics, religion, morality, society, law, politics, etc.)

(Agreed.)

(This is good, this is good.)

(Agreed +1)

Chen Yu couldn’t hold it in any longer. “You don’t have to go through so much trouble. Just eat together.”

(Shut up!) × 1320

(I’ve decided to use philosophy as a platform to discuss humans. Who should I start with?)

(I’ll go first. If we compare human individuals to cells or microscopic particles, then human society belongs to a higher level of material structure. Since it’s material, then it’s the easiest to damage from the inside…)

Chen Yu: “What a bunch of f*cking lunatics!”

…

Boom!

Outside, in the walled Tang City.

A sudden explosion broke the silence in the night sky.

A thirty-meter-tall exotic beast burrowed into the ground and swept down a building with its claws.

And this seemed to be a signal.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom! Boom…!

More and more explosions appeared. Amidst the flames and smoke, exotic beasts came one after another ferociously.

Tang City, which had a population of three million, was thrown into chaos at 9:02…

…

In the alien realm, inside the consciousness.

(The only lesson that humans have learned from history is that they have not learned from history. No matter what social system, in times of high pressure and despair, in the absence of positive growth, there would be terrible consequences. For example, the fanaticism of the group, the irrational climax, the self-proclaimed righteous revenge of the extremists…)

…

Outside, Tang City.

“This won’t do, I want to escape.”

Feeling the energy that was about to explode under his feet, the white-robed man tore the iron chain crazily. Even though his bones were broken, it was as if he did not hear it.

“I can’t die…”

“I can’t die in the wilderness…”

“If I die, everything will really be over…”

“I can’t die…”

Rumble…

In the end, the flames burned everything.

He still did not have the time to break free.

…

In the alien realm, inside his consciousness.

(If one were to talk about humans, after a deep dissection, they would find it too strange. They are too passionate about group pursuit. After the target of their pursuit lost their trust, they would find a new admirer, repeating the cycle over and over again, but they never thought of relying on themselves.)

(They only want to create a god and pray to that can help solve all problems…)

…

Outside, Tang City.

It was a ray of fire that soared to the sky, reflecting hundreds of huge beast shadows.

They trampled, rolled, tore, and devoured…

The screams of the dying crowd intensified the layers of fear.

“Captain… It’s over… It’s all over…”

In front of the police station, a police officer knelt on the ground and looked at the gradually collapsing civilization. Tears streamed down his face and he had a mental breakdown. “What should we do… What should we do…”

“F*ck! What else can we do? We’ll stop as many as we can!” Officer Wang kicked this subordinate in anger. He didn’t even bother to put on his police uniform. He picked up a stick and rushed toward the nearest mutated beast.

“Captain!” Another officer followed with all his might. “Apply for hot weapons support!”

“Put missiles in the city?”

“But…”

“There’s no buts. You can’t get involved. Get lost!”

“Captain…”

“…” Officer Wang suddenly stopped and took out his police officer badge from his bosom. He handed it to his subordinate. “My son is about to be born. If possible… bring this to him.”

“Captain…”

“Goodbye.”

…

In the alien realm, inside his consciousness.

{It’s finally my turn. You’re all wrong. The human community has always been swimming between despair and arrogance. There has never been true calmness and peacefulness. This is what human nature is destined to do.)

{No matter if it’s at a low or high point, the performance of the human community is dominated by emotions. Some are decadent, some are brave. Rational thinking is driven out by fear, despair, ecstasy, and fanaticism…)

…

Outside, Tang City.

The city was in complete chaos.

Under the government’s organization, a group of five hundred martial artists was gathered, led by two Level 6 martial artists from two express delivery companies, to kill the exotic beasts in a spiral, clockwise fashion.

But because the exotic beasts were spread too widely, each ‘attack’ by the group of martial artists could only clear a single point.

Therefore, the ‘pain’ of the entire city was still gradually spreading…

“Dad…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Near the train station, a girl at a barbeque stall was holding her homework book as she stared blankly at her father, who had been stepped on by the exotic beasts. Her eyes were absent-minded.

“Run!”

A slightly plump martial artist suddenly rushed over and hugged the girl tightly before rolling over.

Dong!

In the next instant, the spot where the girl had been standing before had been stepped on by the giant beast.

Bang!

The chubby warrior exerted his Level 1 strength to the extreme. He carried the girl and ran away in a sorry state, shouting, “Where’s your family?”

“Dad… Dad…” The girl slowly came back to her senses, tears rolling down her eyes.

“F*ck.”

The chubby warrior cursed. He turned around to look at the giant beast that was so huge that it seemed to be endless, and his scalp went numb.

“This damn thing is really something that humans can fight…”

Dong!

Before he could finish his words, a huge rock that had fallen from a collapsed building landed on the fat warrior’s head.

“Cough cough…”

He immediately staggered and almost threw the girl in his arms out.

At this moment, the girl’s gaze also turned to the man who was protecting her.

“Wu!”

The girl’s pupils contracted.

This man… She knew him.

“Fatty, hurry up! Here!” In a distant ruin, Dahai stretched out his body and shouted with a chainsaw, “The structure here is solid! There’s also a basement!”

“Brother Hai.”

The chubby warrior’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around with the girl in his arms.

“Quick! It’s coming… It’s stepping down! Retreat! Retreat!” Dahai’s voice suddenly became sharp.

The fat warrior’s heart sank. When he turned around, he saw a black shadow coming from all directions…

‘It’s over…’

This thought flashed through his mind. Without hesitation, he lifted the girl and threw her toward Dahai. “Brother Hai! Catch!”

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Flying in the air, the fat man in the girl’s eyes gradually overlapped with the fat man in her memory who bullied her father.

“Don’t…” The girl subconsciously reached out her hand.

“Live on…”

Boom!

…

In the alien realm, in his consciousness.

{What you all said is too pessimistic. I think that the possibility of human nature is infinite. The seemingly inferior surface might have a bright side inside. Human society doesn’t need absolute reason to appear. Love and taste are the meaning of life.}

(No matter how desperate the environment is, there will always be a light that cuts through the night. This light will be like a spark on the prairie, burning a new world. This was true humanity…)

(I’m done.)

(Clap, clap, clap, clap…)

Thousands of Wraiths immediately clapped.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, was already numb.

In his mind, time had no concept.

Looking at more than a thousand Wraiths discussing the dao while sitting down, this comical and weird feeling made him almost go crazy…

(Everyone, vote for what you think is the most correct.)

No one knew what method these vengeful spirits used, but soon, a Wraith stood up. (Thanks to the university, thanks to TV. I have the most votes. Then I’ll be considered a wise man. I should change my image.)

With that, the shape of this Wraith changed from an adult to an old man.

Then, the old Wraith took the blame and looked around. (Eh? What are we going to do again?)

(???)

(Yeah, what are we talking about here?)

(Where is this? Who am I?)

(What are we going to do?)

Chen Yu was about to break down. “You’re here to eat me! Where’s the ink? Hurry up and eat!”
