Chapter 184 The Hero Before Awakening (Third Update)

The original plan has been completely disrupted by the newly obtained inference——

Of course, Kasumi could also forcefully convince herself that this was just an inference that she didn't know was true or false.

Ke Xia also believes that neither Bing Shui nor Russell can talk nonsense on such an important matter...and all of this can explain the confusion she already had.

If anything, she was originally like looking down into the abyss from a high place.

Then, the approaching truth at this moment pushed her forward again... leaving half of her feet in the air.

This brought great fear to her - Kasumi realized for the first time that being exposed to this level of truth was not interesting or fun.

The "revelation" of the truth that she thought she had before was just the introduction to another conspiracy. If it hadn't been for this conversation, she might have thought that she had done the right thing, and would have been satisfied with the realization of her "justice", and would have been complacent for a while.

——But what if it’s the other way around?

What if she conveyed all the truth through live broadcast. Tell people the world is running out of resources and companies are just making them kill each other - so what?

There is no doubt that it will bring unprecedented chaos. It may even accelerate the destruction of the world.

The number of people killed indirectly may be even more than the former.

Rationally speaking, the Elf's way is correct.

Because this is the best way the company can take on this problem, and it is also the only way to solve the problem - it is not even called the "absolutely correct way", but only "the only possible way to usher in". future". The specific situation depends on whether the company can find ways to use new resources and new energy before resources are completely exhausted.

But if we let everything go, it means destruction and chaos will inevitably come... It means people will hate each other for no reason, and it means innocent people will die as a result.

——Either aiding the tyrants, inciting hatred, and leading people to hate Xiacheng District; or announcing the truth, causing chaos, and destroying the entire civilization.

"……Then what should I do?"

Xia's voice was trembling unconsciously: "What should I do?"

She looked up, hungry for ice water and Russell's opinion.

Russell shook his head.

He actually does have his own answer.

His own answer is...

——He won’t say.

Because it was different from what the naive Kasumi thought...it was actually useless for her to say such a thing. In other words, many things in this world cannot be changed by "knowing" them, nor can people believe them by "saying them".

She couldn't find any evidence for the news that "resources were exhausted." Then everything based on this information is just speculation, and words are powerless in this case. Faced with such desperate "conspiracy theories," people will always be inclined to disbelieve them, and if the company continues to suppress information, it will soon be forgotten.

Moreover, from another perspective, those talents who flow into the lower city area will not necessarily immediately conflict with the residents of the upper-class area according to the company's wishes, and will consume a lot of people, demolish buildings, and create many "job opportunities." Then be wiped out.

If there was no "godfather", maybe the future would indeed be what they had reasoned before.

But now it seems that the situation will become different from what the elves expected.

However, Russell cannot tell Xia about the existence of "The Godfather" now.

Before, he was still thinking...when and where Xia's first painful transformation was.

But I didn't expect that it would come so early and so quickly.

When one party is good and the other is evil, there is no need to question the hero's decision-making and fighting, because the hero can only do good.

Only when faced with the dilemma of choosing the lesser of two evils will the young hero begin to question his own heart.

Only then could she call out to the depths of her heart, listen to the echo, and confirm her true voice.

This question can only be answered by Kasumi herself.

This may be the only training in her life where she does not have to truly pay the price for her painful choices. Regardless, the determination that emerges from this ordeal is no mere veneer.

Xia actually understands this matter... This problem is too heavy, and leaving it to anyone is just shirking responsibility.

However, Xia still habitually wants to seek help from those around her.

Like the cry of a drowning man.

"It turns out that just knowing a little bit of the truth makes the decision so painful..."

She desperately longed to be able to turn back time... to go back to before she heard this conversation, and reset her to the person who didn't understand anything... how happy that would be.

She even began to wonder unconsciously, could this be the only secret in the world?

Is there still such a secret that just knowing it will always cause pain?

Looking at Xia who looked hesitant and shaken violently, Russell shook his head.

He decided to give it another push.

"The sky is cloudy and it's going to rain."

He stuffed the last bite of the sandwich into his mouth, looked at the almost untouched cake in front of Kasumi, and reminded: "It's better to eat some.

“The shooting at night is expected to last until at least the second half of the night.

"You don't want the entire Happy Island to hear your stomach growling, right?"

Russell glanced at the weather icon in the upper right corner of his field of vision and opened it with his mind.

The rainfall warning pushed by Tianen Group emerged.

[At 8:05 pm on July 31, rainfall warning will be issued in Luopan District, Tianen District, Jumu District, and Qiao District]

[At 8:20 pm on July 31, heavy rain warning for Luopan District and Tianen District]

[It has been detected that you are in the compass zone. There will be heavy rain within an hour at your current location, please do not travel, take shelter from the rain in advance and be careful of catching a cold]

"My suggestion is to leave quickly. Otherwise, if you get wet, you won't be able to change clothes in the lower city... You don't want to go home and change clothes before coming out in the heavy rain, right?"

Russell smiled and stood up from the table.

Xia's expression was still wavering, and Bing Shui still looked at her friend worriedly.

But when Russell was about to leave, the two girls subconsciously stood up and said goodbye to him.

"Take good care of Kasumi, Miss Bingshui."

Russell whispered into the ice water: "Sorry to trouble you."

"I will."

Miss Penguin nodded.

If it were normal times, Xia Xia would definitely yell something like "Why is she taking care of me?"

But now she no longer has the leisure time to play.

The dark despair and confusion trapped her like a quagmire. It was almost exhausting her strength to be able to cheer up and say goodbye to Russell.

Before Russell left the store, he reached out and clicked on the menu page in the store, and waved his hand to pay for the other two people.

He smiled and nodded at the four-armed prosthetic shop owner.

The other party also silently flashed the red light on his head to indicate that he understood.

After Russell went out, he sent a message to Delphinium, saying that he had gone to Lower City.

While staying on the email page, he glanced at the time of the last letter Morgan sent him.

"July 31st, five o'clock in the morning..."
