Chapter 409 The Real Devil
Meng Yijia looked like "ask whatever you want", and Zheng Xun didn't know where to start.
There were too many things he wanted to ask.
"You said that you and I are both experimental subjects, so let me ask you, who is doing this experiment?"
Meng Yijia smiled but didn't say anything. It seemed that this was a question that could not be answered.
"Well," Zheng Xun asked in a different way, "Are you and I the same experiment?"
"As far as I know, yes."
"What is the purpose of this experiment? Is it to send people through time?"

"Zheng Xun, I said before that we are 'experiments', just like the mice in the laboratory testing drugs, and this 'drug' will eventually be used on certain people."
Meng Yijia's words were very obscure, but Zheng Xun understood.
He said that he was a "pioneer", proving that if he succeeded, more people would come to this world in the same way.
"Why do you have to come here..."
Zheng Xun didn't understand.
This is the White Tower world, and the White Tower itself is an extremely unstable existence. Now it and humans can temporarily coexist in the same space. What if the White Tower gets tired of playing games one day and directly starts a life-and-death battle in multiple servers to destroy all humans? That would be hell on earth.
Meng Yijia expected Zheng Xun's question. He spent a long time thinking about it this time. He didn't know whether it was because he couldn't explain it too clearly or he was weighing whether he could tell Zheng Xun.
"Zheng Xun, have you ever thought about where the White Tower came from?"
"..."
Zheng Xun understood what he meant instantly.
If the creator of the White Tower and those who want to cross over are the same group of people...
Then things can be explained at once.
They just want to control the world through the White Tower.
Seeing Zheng Xun thinking silently, Meng Yijia said something without a beginning or an end.
"'We are just doing business', this is not what I said, but what I heard. I think this is the best way to summarize their ultimate goal."
- Just doing business.
Xu Guan also mentioned that the real purpose of the mastermind behind the White Tower may not be to destroy the world.
Their purpose is to control.
Zheng Xun had a hard time digesting this reality. If what Meng Yijia said was true, then he and they were in the same group, and they came with the purpose of controlling the White Tower world.
His successful arrival made the people behind him see miracles and hope, and aroused their desire to occupy this place.
"This is invasion..."
Zheng Xun murmured this sentence.
Although he spoke in a low voice, Meng Yijia still heard it.
He did not deny Zheng Xun's words. In fact, he didn't care about this at all.
"Zheng Xun, we are just experimental subjects. You have added too many moral and responsibility shackles to yourself." Meng Yijia's purpose was very different from that of the mastermind behind the scenes. "I just wanted to escape from my original miserable situation, so I signed up for the experiment. Although the experiment is very risky and the probability of success is small, once it succeeds, the rewards are very generous."
His eyes were fixed on Zheng Xun, as if he was looking through him and seeing his future success.
"You've taken the wrong path, Zheng Xun. You could have been made into a god here. But you chose to pursue the so-called truth and give up your fame and wealth.
Now they are going to give up on you. They are going to create a new god, that is, me."
Meng Yijia made it clear that his purpose of going here was to replace Zheng Xun and enjoy his success.
He sketched the scene of going out of the dungeon countless times. Outside, he would start from scratch, with a new identity, and start from a small guild.
As long as he imitated Zheng Xun's path and made a name for himself by playing high-difficulty dungeons, he would soon be able to achieve success like Zheng Xun.
By then, he would reveal his name, and the past of being excluded and suppressed by the big guild would resurface. People would sympathize with him because of this experience, making him more popular.
As for Meng Yijia, who really died... he didn't care. He easily believed what they said, thinking that he could really fulfill the promise of "restarting his life".
In fact, the original Meng Yijia's life was indeed restarted. The protagonist has the same face and the same name as him, but he is no longer him.
However, the current Meng Yijia thought irresponsibly that if he achieved great success, it would be regarded as fulfilling the previous one's dream.
No matter which world Meng Yijia is in, he only pursues fame and fortune.
And Zheng Xun, whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, was really pushed down from the altar, despised and cursed, and became a stepping stone on his road to success.
So Meng Yijia, rest in peace.
Zheng Xun listened silently to Meng Yijia talking about his future life in front of him. The success that was within reach made his eyes slightly red.
Zheng Xun understood why he, as a "stranger", had to run to him and tell him so many truths.
Because as an "old god", Zheng Xun was most likely unable to get out of this copy.
Meng Yijia wanted him to die with a clear mind.
"You are just a puppet like this."
Zheng Xun suddenly interrupted Meng Yijia's words, and the latter's voice stopped abruptly.
He seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and his expression changed from excitement and enthusiasm to gloomy and fierce.
"What do you know, Zheng Xun. You don't know what you are wasting. Not to mention that you passed the experiment with almost zero success rate, and you can quickly adapt to the environment of the White Tower World. At the same time, your bad personality has attracted so many people to pay attention to you. All the difficulties we preset seem to be solved here.
But now you say that these are not what you want.
Zheng Xun, you are too willful. You only like to do things according to your own ideas, and never consider the consequences for others. You are not the first person to be teleported here. Do you know how many failed examples there are before you?
Some of them died because they could not adapt to the environment of the White Tower World, and some went crazy because of the teleportation process. You have been to the Seventh Hospital, right? Do you know who is really locked up there?"
Zheng Xun raised his head suddenly.
"That's right, the copy of the Seventh Hospital is set up in imitation of this hospital in our world. Zheng Xun, you, me, and many subjects waiting for experiments and subjects who failed the experiments were originally locked up there."
Meng Yijia revealed the cruel truth to Zheng Xun with a malicious smile on his face.
"Your success was achieved by stepping on the corpses of countless people. It was countless people who paid with their blood to gain experience that shaped you. Then you said lightly that you only wanted the truth, not success.
Do you understand now how cruel your giving up is?"
