Shen Hanmeng became more and more excited as he spoke, "You have done more than that!

You want to erase even my name! I am trapped in this machine, controlling the operation of this machine, but you don't even give me a name.

I am a chief, but I don’t even deserve a name!

How ridiculous!

You named the Mechanical Ghost King Shen Hanmeng, but my name is Zhao Xingyu.

My name was erased, I couldn't return home, I was treated differently and was sent to the most distant universe, and I was sealed around a black hole...

Chief Ye, what I said is all true, right? "

Perhaps due to his excitement, Shen Hanmeng spoke more and more excitedly, and even began to speak incoherently.

At this time, a group of Wild Wanderers also caught up.

They also heard what Shen Hanmeng said through the headset.

Each of the subordinates was stunned. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

On the ground, it was dark night.

Ye Changsheng was on the polar ice field. He walked out of the underground ice house and looked up at the dark night sky.

After a long while, Ye Changsheng finally spoke, and said slowly:

"Chief Zhao, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Once you are in the underworld, you have no choice.

The problem with the name is because of Dr. Shen Hanmeng, who was originally in charge of this project.

He was very considerate when Storm Defense's resources were tight and it couldn't provide him with enough benefits. He had no other requirements, except that the only and necessary requirement was that the machine be named after him.

Some people pursue fame, some people pursue profit. Dr. Shen Hanmeng doesn't care about profit, he just wants a name.

He hoped that the first man-made machine, Ghost King, would be named after himself so that he could go down in history.

We couldn't refuse this request, so we had no choice but to name the Mechanical Ghost King Shen Hanmeng.

We are indeed sorry for you. To compensate you, although the Mechanical Ghost King only has the strength of a Ghost King, we still reserve the position of Chief for you and call you Chief.

When this is over, if we are both still alive, we will make it up to you."

When Ye Changsheng said this, there was a hint of indescribable sadness in his tone, as if it was the sadness of "the lips and the teeth are interdependent".

Chen Mu and others were also silent. According to Ye Changsheng, this was indeed a helpless move.

In the face of this catastrophe, everyone is doing their best.

Ye Changsheng continued, “I’m really sorry that I can’t let you rest in peace after death.

The Storm Defense is short of manpower, and you are the new Ghost Lord, a scarce high-end combat force, and each one of them is crucial.

Boss Chen, I deceived you before.

After Chief Zhao died, his innate strange energy was not ownerless. It had long been marked with Chief Zhao's mark and actually contained Chief Zhao's consciousness.

However, with this kind of innate strange energy, he only has the strength of a strange leader at most.

Although it is cruel to seal a conscious ghost energy in a machine, it can bring out the power of the Ghost King and make him a strong man guarding an area.

This is indeed our best solution. If we don't do this, more people will die.

This is to kidnap a person's future by causing the deaths and injuries of a majority of people.

It is indeed inhumane, but it is also the most humane option for us.”

Ye Changsheng could strongly refute every point that Chief Zhao made.

Chen Mu could feel the helplessness in Ye Changsheng's words.

Sometimes decision makers are like this, and both decisions will harm the interests of others. But between the two evils, they have to choose the lesser of two evils and make a cruel choice.

It is the decision maker’s choice as to whom to be cruel.

Regarding the last point, Ye Changsheng said:

“The reason why I asked Chief Zhao to guard the universe is because the universe is vast and lonely. Ordinary people cannot endure being stationed there for a long time, otherwise they will go crazy.

The Mechanical Ghost King is a machine, and can satisfy this requirement, so he was assigned to guard the universe."

Ye Changsheng gave reasonable explanations for each of Chief Zhao's points.

Behind every explanation, there are helpless and painful choices.

The Wild Wanderer originally wanted to say, "They are already dead, and you just said that they were afraid to stand and wanted to escape." He thought that Ye Changsheng's saying "afraid to stand" was too much.

But that is understood from the perspective of peace.

When it comes to the strange apocalypse, only those who are warlike and willing to fight to the death can protect humanity and lead the survivors out of the siege.

Ye Changsheng, as the master of the ghost, was still guarding the place even though his body was torn into pieces. This showed that he was a man who was ready to fight to the death, and it was also a helpless move forced by the environment.

For such people, wanting to escape when they are still able to fight after death is indeed a sign of cowardice.

The communication channel fell into deathly silence.

Chen Mu and the others were all silent, and no one knew what to say.

At this moment, the Night King approached Chen Mu and whispered to him:

“Boss Chen, there is a loophole in Ye Changsheng’s logic.

He said that because the Mechanical Ghost King is a machine and has no human emotions, he can endure loneliness, so he sent Chief Zhao to guard the universe.

But according to what Ye Changsheng said before, Chief Zhao's innate strange energy is not ownerless, but instead possesses Chief Zhao's consciousness.

If the innate strange energy is infused into the machine, wouldn't the machine also have Chief Zhao's consciousness? Just like now, it is not the machine that is talking to us, but Chief Zhao.

If Mechanical Ghost King = Chief Zhao, then assigning the Mechanical Ghost King to the universe would not mean that Chief Zhao would be guarding the universe?

It is inhumane to let a dead soldier guard the most distant universe."

In response to the Night King's question, Chen Mu shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Ye, you are right. You have been walking in Baigui Night Street and have no contact with the outside world.

After he followed me, he just carried out tasks and stayed in his room playing games in his spare time. He lacked social experience.

People are not black and white, the world is also black.

It doesn't mean that just because Chief Ye protects humanity and fights to the death, he is a perfect person without any moral stains.

Everyone has a gray side, with good and bad sides.

Chief Ye also understands the doubts you are talking about, because that is just an excuse for Chief Ye to find out the truth.

The truth is, there are seven chiefs guarding seven black holes, and each chief has his own selfish motives as to who guards which one.

After Chief Zhao's death, he had the lowest strength and the least say.

When no one wants to go to the universe, then naturally they will have the least say and be assigned to the worst position.

This is the real reason, at this point, they did bully Chief Zhao for their own selfish interests or for other reasons.

But if it were you, would you be willing to abandon your future in the distant and cold universe for one person?

This does not conflict with their protection of humanity. It is human nature, and we cannot explain it clearly but we can understand it.”

Listening to Chen Mu's words, the Night King fell silent.
