Chapter 174: The Killer

"etc."

The person in charge's frown deepened.

For him, frowning is a rare expression in itself, let alone "frowning".

That often means the thing is really "big."

Ridiculously big!

"They want to expose the weird creatures to the public?!"

The person in charge held tightly to the balcony railing.

This is an absolute no-no.

The intrusion of strange creatures into the blue sky has a long history, and there are corresponding records as early as ancient times of mankind.

So, why haven’t humans become aware of the existence of strange creatures on a large scale?

In fact, there is.

For example, various ghosts and monsters, vampires and werewolves, the Temple of Valor, the power of the Pharaoh, witches and the church...

Some of the things here are true and some are false.

But it is undeniable that there must be some parts closely related to strange creatures.

However, due to the poor communication of information in ancient times, it was impossible to even relay it, so it was all defined as legends and not trustworthy.

seeing is believing.

Time comes to modern times.

At that time, Azure's higher-ups were already aware of the existence of strange creatures.

They were trying to form a legion, so they did not directly announce the existence of the strange creatures to the outside world.

At that time, Weilan officials believed that doing so was unnecessary and a waste of effort.

However, no one talked about one thing at that time——

It was this decision that accidentally saved the entire blue sky!

Because strange creatures have certain "idealistic" attributes.

Human fear will greatly strengthen the strange creatures that come after them.

Once a large group of people know about the existence of strange creatures and use raw energy to catalyze them, it will lead to extremely terrifying results.

That is - a super large-scale strange arrival.

That is the Battle of Blood Curtain.

The Blood Curtain Battle that broke out in modern times gave Azure's top management a consensus:

Humans are unable to launch a counterattack against the strange creatures, at least at this stage.

And once the existence of strange creatures is made public, most people will definitely fall into panic.

By then, countless riots will break out.

Escapers, rebels, profit-takers, disbelievers, excited people, indifferent people...

It's everywhere.

This is "people".

After that, "original energy" will be like a spark shining in a gasoline barrel.

It's enough to cause a devastating explosion in an instant!

Therefore, the existence of strange creatures must not be made public!

This is how the Eyewitness Organization was born.

The first witness, the only witness.

This is the "luck" of the whole blue sky.

Because not long after this consensus was reached, the era of information and electronics arrived.

The rapid development of the network level has given the entire Weilan the ability to quickly popularize certain information.

If people want to, it only takes half an hour to spread something around the world, and no one can stop it.

This is the terrifying power of modern information network technology!

If the information on strange creatures was not controlled in this era, I am afraid that the entire blue sky would have become a hell on earth.

Thinking of this, the person in charge remained silent.

Turn around and go get your black box.

Chu Yan held a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "What are you doing?"

The person in charge replied solemnly:

"kill."

Making the existence of strange creatures public - this is no longer the level of conflict of ideas.

Regardless of the Star Chamber of Commerce or the Deep Space Society, no matter how extreme their ideas are, their leaders will not choose this path at this stage.

This is no different from committing suicide, and you are committing suicide with Wei Lan!

So the person in charge has only one thought now:

Kill those extraordinary folk before they take action.

Only in this way can we prevent everything that may happen!

Chu Yan stopped the person in charge, supported the wall with one hand, and pushed him into the corner of the balcony.

"Don't worry, they are not the kind of people who want to drag everyone to death."

Chu Yan emphasized again:

"They want to be heroes."

The person in charge relaxed his frown slightly and stared into Chu Yan's eyes at close range.

very nice.

"what does that mean?"

Chu Yan blew out white smoke and replied: "They want people to feel that they are fighting a 'big monster' instead of a 'weird creature', and at the same time, everyone in Azure feels that fighting a big monster is very cool."

principal:"?"

What the hell, I didn’t understand.

"It's a war of public opinion."

Chu Yan took half a step back, then raised his hands and demonstrated:

"They want to blur the concept of 'weird creatures'."

"It's like a superhero movie."

"The people of Cerulean claim that some kind of terrible monster is trying to invade Cerulean."

"But we don't need to be afraid, because the blue has also generated many 'superpowers', and these superpowers will become superheroes against monsters."

"And the most important thing is that justice will eventually defeat evil."

"So the vast majority of human beings are not afraid, but regard extraordinary beings as heroes, full of hope."

Chu Yan finished speaking.

She continued to smoke while observing the reaction of the person in charge.

As expected, the person in charge fell into deep thought.

He is carefully analyzing the feasibility of this idea.

The difficulty with strange creatures is that they will come based on human beings' "knowledge" and "fear".

The first is fear.

If extraordinary beings are really portrayed as heroes fighting alien monsters, then perhaps this can really be avoided.

Because in most literary works, justice will eventually defeat evil.

A large number of literary works throughout the ages have shaped the basic thinking logic of mankind.

Monsters are always evil, while heroes represent justice.

Therefore, if we follow this basic thinking logic, it will be difficult for humans to cause large-scale panic, and naturally the strange creatures that come after their arrival will not be strengthened.

But...what about the other point?

There are plans for "fuzzy cognitive concepts".

Is it really possible?

Conveying wrong cognitive concepts to the outside world regarding strange creatures.

For example, the essence of strange creatures is a certain "phenomenon", which can simply be explained as monsters from other worlds with various superpowers.

The disastrous defeat at the Battle of Blood Curtain has been explained away as rumors or urban legends.

Etc., etc……

In this way, the vast majority of human beings do not have enough knowledge about strange creatures, so it is naturally difficult for large-scale strange events to occur...

wrong!

The person in charge noticed something crucial.

Even if the cognitive concept is vague, there is still a certain understanding.

By that time, although there will not be a global super-large scale strange arrival, the frequency of strange arrival events will definitely be far higher than it is now!

Tens of times? Hundreds of times? Thousands of times?

That is a consequence that those in charge cannot imagine.

Even if humans can barely resist, the living environment of ordinary people will be extremely bad.

Let those who suffer from fictional "monsters" worship fictional "heroes"?

The person in charge cannot do such a thing.

"no."

The person in charge rejected the idea, saying, "Many people will die."

"But they don't think so."

Chu Yan held a cigarette in his mouth and suddenly asked: "Do you like reading comics?"

"Um?"

"There is a comic telling a story like this:"

Chu Yan recounted: "One day, a goddess appeared in front of the boy. She said that the devil was about to invade the world, and the boy was the brave man who could stop the devil."

"Now there are two choices before the young man——"

"First: fight against the Demon King's army that has invaded reality, at the cost of the death of 70% of all life in the world. After a long and hard battle, the Demon King is finally defeated, and the boy will become a hero praised by people."

"Second: Intercept the Demon King's army in the dream world and directly prevent their invasion. No life in the world will die because of this. But on the contrary, no one in the world will know or believe the story of the brave, and will only regard him as a

Chuunibyou who talks crazy words."

"Finally, the boy made a choice..."

When Chu Yan said this, the topic changed.

"Obviously, the group of folk extraordinary people want to choose the first option."

"They don't want to continue walking in the night, they want to be 'heroes'."

The person in charge is basically clear.

He could understand the thoughts of those extraordinary folk, but he would never agree with them.

Suddenly, he noticed the expressionless Chu Yan.

He seems to be looking up at the sky.

The person in charge asked softly: "What about you? What do you think?"

"What?"

Chu Yan was lost in thought.

"Something about being a hero, or that group of folk extraordinary people."

"Oh, those."

The cigarette in Chu Yan's hand was almost finished.

She took the last few puffs and recalled: "Do you remember what I just told you about the strange creature that devoured twenty-five people alive six years ago?"

The person in charge nodded.

Chu Yan continued: "A total of sixty-eight people died at that time."

Then, she laughed.

"I killed the other forty-three."

wry smile.

The person in charge was stunned.

"At that time, we encountered an extremely terrifying and strange creature. Twenty-five people were killed, and of the remaining forty-four, forty-three went crazy on the spot."

"Those people are all extraordinary beings. If they continue to go crazy, sooner or later something weird will happen on a larger scale."

"So I took action."

"Forty-three in total, I killed them."

Chu Yan emphasized again.

"In order to prevent the strangeness from coming, kill the crazy teammates with your own hands."

"I understood one thing at that time -"

"The weird creature cannot be an evil monster, but a fear that humans cannot transcend."

"so……"

Crush the cigarette butt on the railing.

He turned his head and looked at the person in charge, his face expressionless.

She said calmly:

"How can murderous lunatics like us be worthy of being heroes?"

The person in charge was silent.

How can he comfort Chu Yan?

unable.

Because he also killed teammates who went crazy.

a lot of.

a lot of.



downstairs.

First floor, Azure Bar counter.

The sportswear man among the folk extraordinary people also sat in front of the stage.

He sat next to Xu Cheng.

Grinning and saying:

"Hi! Old sir, why don't you come to the bar to drink some watermelon juice? I'll treat you to a drink!"

Xu Cheng glanced at the sportswear.

Grinning.

"OK."
