Chapter 365: Yawgmoth, the Father of All Opportunities [Part 6]
"Us?" Xiang Shan laughed out loud, "Brother, what kind of people do we think we can't get along with at all? We have created the most powerful group in the world. We have known each other for ninety years.
We have been working together for over 80 years.”
——Having said that, he has no intention of letting down his guard at all.
Yawgmoth looked at Xiangshan while memorizing the memory data flowing out of the man's head.
Hiding the weapon behind his back is to cover up the position of his weapon and his own preparations. This is not considered an "obvious display of attack posture" and will not trigger a fierce counterattack from the opponent. But Xiangshan is indeed preparing to fight.
Yawgmoth said: "Is that so? We often argue."
"That's what makes a gentleman harmonious but different." Xiang Shan corrected.
Yawgmoth stopped and Xiangshan stopped almost at the same time, maintaining a suitable attack range.
Yawgmoth said: "Are you going to share this authority with the 'little man'?"
"No, of course not." Xiang Shan said: "But it's not enough to just have a group of gentlemen. There must be something wrong with our group. I have thought about it for a long time. The thing about the country thief is essentially because I pursue the organization too much.
The result of "purity". I just followed the logic of capitalism and used the greatest interests to coerce the capital of the world. The only people I trusted wholeheartedly were the idealists in the category of "us" - only in the end did I understand
, elitism is unacceptable. Even if we had such a huge advantage back then, we still got picked."
Yawgmoth nodded.
Probably agreed with this statement.
"I have always regretted what happened to Lao Di. Because he came from a bad background and was a capitalist." Xiang Shan continued, "But, he... still asked me in the end, 'You often say that the new society turns ghosts into humans...
…Do you think I’ve turned into a human? Boss’.”
Yawgmoth shook the head in his hand: "But you were deceived by this guy here."
"After all, people can disguise themselves." Xiang Shan lowered his head and looked at his palms, seeming to recall something.
But his other hand was always hidden behind his back, holding the weapon.
"It would have been better if I had trusted Lao Di more. So I should also trust other people more. If there are enough trustworthy people, then the possibility of other companions seeing through those with bad intentions will increase. People like us
, should also be subject to checks and balances and supervision." Xiangshan looked at Yawgmoth, "We are so similar. Our eyes are always looking at the same place - not just you and me, Yingjia David Xinyu Toli
Ya Lao, Yang Lao Chen... all of us are the same type of people, we only look at one place, and there is bound to be something we miss."
"We can't make the mistakes we made when our country was stolen again, Yog."
Yawgmoth sighed and continued walking forward.
Continue to retreat toward the mountain.
"Are you saying that even if you have absolute power, you will still be sidelined in secret?"
"That's the truth, buddy." Xiang Shan shook his head, "Rather, when a person has great power, but his interests have too little in common with the interests of his subordinates, he will be easily ignored. Even if his methods are cruel,
Nor can we withstand the widespread disobedience of subordinates, the widespread inaction and sabotage, and the collective superficial cooperation. I feel that even if the thieves have absolute power, they still insist on wearing our skin, probably because of this."
"I agree with this." Yawgmoth nodded.
Xiang Shan spread his hands: "So...right? There's no point in holding on to this thing."
Xiangshan is still trying to persuade Yawgmoth.
Yawgmoth nodded.
He could agree with this.
Xiangshan always hopes for a society where people can live happily.
And a society that allows people to live happily will not be inefficient - although an efficient society may not be in line with human well-being, human happiness is often predicated on efficient social operation.
Rational people will probably agree with his idea.
but……
Is it true...
For a moment, Yawgmoth did give up.
Xiangshan also read his mentality through the ability given by his inner strength.
The two walked into the corridor, maintaining the confrontational posture, and walked slowly outside.
A series of footsteps suddenly came.
Ingrid appeared around the corner.
Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and turned sideways to say hello.
But at this moment, Yawgmoth suddenly sent a communication.
[Be careful, this guy is fake!]
Ingrid was originally a little confused about the confrontation between Xiang Shan and Yawgmoth. After hearing this message, she focused her attention on Xiang Shan.
The first thing Xiangshan suspected was Ingrid. He was wondering if Yawgmoth had noticed details that he had not noticed.
The next memory is a little blurry. The surface consciousness of the brain is almost blank.
I don’t have much resources in my brain to devote to the operation of entertainment apps like “self-awareness”.
Yawgmoth only remembered that he raised his hand and punched Xiangshan on the head. Xiangshan also turned around and hit him hard.
The two attacks staggered in mid-air.
Yog's fist hit the side of Shan's head.
The heavy pile driver in Xiangshan's hand missed Yawgmoth's head.
Then, Yawgmoth was well prepared and faced off against a warrior who was unprepared and focused on internal strength at close range.
By the time he came to his senses, Ingrid had already fallen to the ground.
He even threw a metal aerosol bomb to block the signal.
——What on earth did I do...
Yawgmoth's hands trembled slightly, and then he clenched his fists.
Then release.
Then hold it tight again.
The moment Xiangshan turned to Ingrid and relaxed her body, an unclear thought sprang up like wildfire, and then exploded as quickly as a chain reaction.
He realized this was his only chance.
So he took action.
Yawgmoth turned to Xiangshan and looked down at his old friend.
"You didn't regard me as your enemy at the last moment. You're still not cautious enough, Xiangshan."
It is precisely because deep down in his consciousness that the concept of "Yawgmoth" is not associated with "enemy", Xiangshan's thinking has an additional step of "judging Yingjia".
Although Xiangshan skipped this step as quickly as possible. He may have realized it.
But neural reflexes take time.
Actions take time.
Without this moment of distraction, Yawgmoth would have ended up with a lose-lose outcome at best.
As long as Yawgmoth hesitates for even 0.1 seconds, the result will be rewritten.
Yawgmoth had almost really convinced himself just now. He really recognized Xiang Shan for a moment.
Yawgmoth was also confused at this time. He couldn't remember whether he really thought Xiang Shan's idea was feasible just now, or whether it was all "acting" to create this situation - he just wanted to make Xiang Shan feel happy for a moment.
He hesitated before convincing himself.
Xiangshan and Inga Saussure are both well-developed in their divine realms, and both are capable of reading other people's thoughts.
Yawgmoth closed his eyes. After a moment, he removed Xiangshan and Yingjia's limbs, threw them into an elevator shaft, and then blew up the elevator's braking device.
In the end, he did not kill anyone. The two of them just suffered a concussion and were in a coma.
