Merit Book·Xinghai

Wan Dou sat cross-legged on the table, flicked her fingers in front of her face, and flashed short videos one after another.In the video, either a sad Lasini blankly followed the Glory Army through the underground waterway, or a discomfited Lore escaped from the pursuit, or Mu Xiaohu, whose clothes were already tattered, grinned and bandaged his wounds.

In addition to these people, there is the flames of war that are being ignited everywhere in Zhongwuxing. In some places, the alien rebels have formed a scale, and they can even compete with local armed forces other than legions; in some places, the so-called rebels just use this name. Taking advantage of the fire, both humans and aliens will be bullied or even killed by them; in some places, the human army marched, surrounded, and suppressed with firepower on a large scale.

Such a scene, if it was in the past, Rong Yuan should have intervened long ago.But now, he is indifferent, and spends most of his day reading or staring at the starry sky outside the window.Even Pea, I don't know what he is thinking.

"Book of Merit" also has no response to this, because this is not a simple bullying of the weak by the strong, but a battle of races, a battle for survival. In the rules of "Book of Merit", this situation does not simply distinguish between good and evil. Evil is black and white, even if the contractor sits back and watches it happen, merit points will not be deducted; but if Rong Yuan saves someone who is in danger-no matter which party's intelligent life, merit will increase.

Pea took out the "Book of Merit and Virtue".Although as a tool spirit, even if you don't look at it directly with your eyes, you can clearly see the contents inside, but this seems to be more intuitive.

Since leaving Landia, the merit points have only increased a few times, all because Rong Yuan didn't deliberately save the people around him, but when Qidan died that time, he added a lot of merit points. Other than that, they were all points deducted records.

Two o'clock at one o'clock, four o'clock at three o'clock, rarely more than ten o'clock, and the names involved are all very unfamiliar, but it continues continuously, as many as a dozen times a day, and as few as three or four times.

This shows that even though Rong Yuan has been away from Zhong Wuxing for so many years, there are still people who suffer because of some things that he didn't clean up back then.

It is for this reason that they returned to Zhongwuxing.

In Qidan, these records have actually been reduced by more than half, but there are still some, indicating that there should be some people who have established secret laboratories like Qidan in other places.But Rong Yuan searched around Zhong Wuxing before, but he didn't find it.

In this regard, he also showed a lazy attitude, as if he didn't care whether he could solve it completely, and he didn't try to dig further after he couldn't find the trace.Otherwise, in fact, there are corresponding products in the merit mall that can help him find those people who have deducted his merit points, and Wan Dou thinks that he should be able to find some clues from Lin Qingsi, but Rong Yuan never mentioned it.

Wan Dou touched the thin page and the black text on the "Book of Merit", looked at Rong Yuan who was staring out of the window, and asked tentatively: "Rong Yuan, Zhong Wuxing has already died a lot of people... Are you going to help me?" Are they?"

Rong Yuan withdrew his gaze from staring at the starry sky, glanced at him, and smiled faintly, as if he had expected Pea's question, and seemed a little helpless.

"Help who?" he asked.

Pea thought for a while, it actually felt that the alien races were very pitiful, but some alien races were also very bad, and not all the humans in Zhongwu Star were bad people.

So Pea whispered: "...innocent people?"

Rong Yuan smiled, shook his head, was silent for a while, and then said: "I have helped before."

"Originally, the foreign race is the master of this planet. Human beings are just slaves without any freedom and dignity under their rule. They have no own writing and have forgotten their own language. They can only rely on the foreign race's territory day and night. Only by hard work can we exchange for a little bit of living space. However, the alien race at that time already had some prototypes of technological civilization, and as long as it continues to develop, it will sooner or later develop into a higher level of civilization."

"Then, I felt that the human beings here are very pitiful, so I intervened."

"I allowed a race that had difficulty in continuing its own existence to win in this kind of survival competition. I always thought that what I did was a good thing...but what happened?"

"The status is different, black and white are reversed, and justice and evil are replaced."

"More than 200 years ago, the number of intelligent races on this planet would be amazing in an interstellar civilization. Among the intelligent races evolved from various wild animals, some can manipulate thunder and lightning, and some can call wind and rain , some can open mountains and crack the ground, some run like the wind, some are infinitely powerful, some can soar over thousands of miles, some can swim at the bottom of the deep sea, some are covered in venom, and some can Self-disintegration."

"But now?"

"The race that looks more like humans, the more likely it is to survive. As for the others, most of them are classified as the lowest status, making it difficult for humans to survive. The once rich and diverse abilities have almost disappeared, maybe they are hidden. , maybe... because they were tabooed by humans, they were all extinct."

"All of this is rooted in me."

Rong Yuan said.

"No, it's not your fault!" Pea hurriedly comforted: "When you helped humans, you didn't know that it would become like this in the future! And even if humans develop and slaughter aliens later, it doesn't mean that you It is wrong to help them when they are in trouble! Even the "Book of Merit" did not deduct your merits for this! It means that even the "Book of Merit" recognizes it! It thinks that you did the right thing! As for later... Later... Humans became like that because they were too bad! It has nothing to do with you! Think about it, so many countries have developed in a place as big as the earth, and wars often occur. Even if it is a few A small village of a hundred people often staged various farces of power struggles! It can be seen that the nature of many intelligent races is like this, disputes, killings, chaos, no one can do anything about these things. So... so it is not your responsibility. "

Pea almost felt sorry for Rong Yuan.

When Rong Yuan returned to Zhongwu Star, although the surface looked the same as usual, when he saw the current appearance of Zhongwu Star, he saw that many races had completely disappeared in history, and he saw the people he helped become The biggest villain on the planet... What a heartache and disappointment he must have felt after seeing so much!As long as Pea thought about it this way, she felt so sad that she could hardly speak.

Hearing the series of words it said in a hurry, Rong Yuan couldn't help but smile, and patted its little head.A person like him has his own mature values ​​and judgment standards, so naturally he will not easily change his mind just because of a few words from Pea, but he will not argue with him about the right or wrong of responsibility, just say——

"Even if you say that, in the eyes of these alien races on Zhongwu Star, I, who once chose to help humans, are no different from a devil to them, right?"

Pea wanted to say something, but she was in a hurry and didn't know what to say.

"So this time, I'm not going to help any party for the time being." Rong Yuan said: "I want to take a look... to see what choices Zhong Wuxing's people will make without outside interference, and see What kind of future are they heading for?"

"But didn't Mu Xiaohu and Luo Er go to help?" Pea thought for a while and said, "Aren't they considered external forces?"

"Although the abilities of the two of them are excellent among their peers, they are still children after all. Their joining can only be regarded as placing a heavy bargaining chip on one end of the balance, but it is not enough to be called a decisive force." Rong Yuan Said: "Moreover, the knowledge level and weaponry of the alien race are far behind that of humans. Without their help, the alien resistance army can only create some terrorist incidents. In fact, there is not much room for resistance in front of humans. "

Pea nodded thoughtfully.It actually doesn't care about Mu Xiaohu and Luo Er, nor does it actually care about which side can win between humans and alien races on Zhongwu Planet, it just wants to know Rong Yuan's opinion.

................................................

Lin Lai, shirtless, was sitting in a white room. A cute little nurse was holding a long and thin brush in his hand. On Lai's back, arms and neck, Lin Lai gritted his teeth and still made a sound of gasping uncomfortably. It was obvious that the liquid had caused him considerable pain.

"Be patient, it will be fine soon." The little nurse comforted in a soft voice, brushed for another five or six minutes, looked around for a while, nodded, put away the brush and the bottle of liquid, and talked to Lin Lai again. After admonishing the taboos on eating and living, he packed the bottles, gauze, tweezers and several bottles of medicine into the small cart next to him and left.

Mo Gui, who was guarding the door, saw the little nurse leaving, opened the door to come in, and stood in front of the mirror to look at Lin Lai, baring his teeth.The places on his body where the lotion was applied were originally a little red, but now the redness gradually subsided, but a layer of blue-black bumps like fish scales appeared, which can make the legs of a trypophobic patient weaken with fright at a glance.

Not only on his body, but also on his face, there are some fish-like bumps like this, and the outlines of some facial features can only be vaguely seen.But those who glanced at him would never want to look at him a second time.

But Mo Gui looked at him without avoiding his eyes.The young man in black leaned against the door with his arms outstretched, and said in a low voice, "Actually, you don't have to do this. It's enough for me to go alone."

"You?" Lin Lai said mockingly: "What can you do? Can you build relationships with people, or can you bargain with them? Do you know how to pretend to be a black businessman? Do you know what to say when people question you? ?"

Mo Gui pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Hey, this potion is really powerful! I didn't expect that we still have this kind of thing." Linlai touched the completely discolored scales on his body, put on the clothes hanging on the rack, looked in the mirror again, and said sourly: "Aren't you happy now? You've made us the handsomest man."

Mo Gui rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "I was originally!"

"What did you say?" Lin Lai raised his eyebrows and looked at him in the mirror.

"It's nothing." Mo Gui muttered: "It's you, be careful when you go out on the street, don't let the police arrest you before you finish your job."

"Haha, don't worry about that, I'm not that good." Linlai picked up another hat and put it on his head. He deliberately lowered the brim of the hat and looked into the mirror from below. After examining it for a while, he changed it again. A hat: "Well, this feeling is just right. By the way, have they sent the information? Who are we going to trade with?"

"The Glory Revolutionary Army, the leader is Rotstan."
