Chapter 72 Arrogance

"The behavioral logic of strange creatures has troubled us for a long time."

The principal slowly narrated:

"What is the purpose of their coming?"

"Invasion?"

"That's not right, because there have been countless strange occurrences since ancient times, and only a handful of humans have resisted on a large scale."

"Based on this, weird creatures should have ruled the world a long time ago."

"At that time, a geek in the legion put forward a hypothesis——"

"He believes that the behavioral logic of strange creatures is different from any living thing known to mankind."

"It is a creature that follows 'instinct' and 'rules'."

"Rather than saying that the strange creature is an unknown animal, it is more like a natural phenomenon such as 'water', 'fire', and 'wind'."

The principal looked up at Xu Cheng and found that the other party was thinking carefully about his words.

very good.

She went on to add:

"If a person puts his hand into the fire, he will be burned."

"When a person's skin is blown by the wind, the moisture on it will evaporate, and the person will feel cool."

"Human respiratory organs cannot breathe in water."

"——The above are the rules."

"So that geek suggested changing the name of the weird creatures to 'weird phenomena', because their essence is actually a quasi-natural phenomenon covered in biological skin."

"The difference is that this 'phenomenon' seems to be leaking from another world. This is the strange arrival."

"But before this hypothesis was officially announced, the Blood Curtain Battle broke out, and the geek also died on the battlefield."

"After the legion fell apart, no one remembered his name anymore."

"However, his theory has been passed down and eventually became one of the theoretical foundations of a force."

The principal recounted the past events he knew.

Four words popped out of Xu Cheng's mouth, "Star Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes, this is the proposition of the Star Chamber of Commerce."

The principal nodded, "The Star Chamber of Commerce believes that humans should adapt to strange creatures just like they adapt to floods, hail, and hurricanes."

Xu Cheng didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

It seems...

"It seems very reasonable because humans have been this way since ancient times, right?"

The principal leaned back on the wheelchair and added Xu Cheng's thoughts.

"Just like the Inuit people who were forced to migrate to the Arctic Circle and built igloos to protect themselves from the cold snowfields."

"You can't say: The Inuit betrayed humans and joined the snowfields."

"This is not a competition between species, nor a war between humans, but a contact between humans and another unknown phenomenon."

The conversation between the principal and Xu Cheng continues.

Maybe Xu Cheng didn't know it, or maybe Xu Cheng did it intentionally.

But in short, Xu Cheng's mind followed the principal's narrative and gradually forgot about the existence of the predator.

The weird creature the size of a buffalo roared, but it was still unable to bring the two people in front of it into the range of its prey.

But it doesn't matter.

The so-called predators often have enough patience.

It can continue to lurk around, always ready to attack Xu Cheng or the principal!

To put it more extreme, even if the conversation between the two lasts for ten or twenty years, as long as there is a moment - just a moment, a predator appears in Xu Cheng or the principal's mind, then it will appear!

Uh-huh...

The predator's form gradually dissipated.

The conversation between the principal and Xu Cheng continued.

To be more precise, it should be the principal who is narrating and Xu Cheng is listening.

"Some people have said that humans cannot change nature, they can only adapt to it."

"So how can humans change the natural phenomenon called 'strange arrival'?"

Hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but said curiously: "It sounds like you are more inclined to the theory of the Star Chamber of Commerce."

"No, what I just said is indeed the theory of the Star Chamber of Commerce, but it is not my theory."

The principal changed the subject and said slowly:

"Human beings cannot change destiny against nature, but they can often control destiny and use it."

"……don't know?"

"Then I'll put it more simply and crudely."

The principal grinned and said with a smile:

“The confrontation between humans and nature is often done with restraint, because no matter how we fight, we all have to coexist in the end.”

"But if that 'nature' insists on destroying human beings, human beings will have no choice but to let go and take action, regardless of the consequences and at any cost."

"At that time, humans will openly and openly defile the rules of nature."

"Human, once you ignore the consequences, it is really terrible."

"We can turn ice sheets into seas of fire, freeze deserts into ice sculptures, flatten mountains, fill seas, and change everything..."

"Because one of the things humans are best at is defiling the rules and flouting the rules."

The principal looked at Xu Cheng and smiled like a girl next door.

"Still don't understand?"

Actually, Xu Cheng understood.

But he didn't want to think about that possibility.

After a pause, Xu Cheng finally said: "It's not necessary, I'll do it."

As he said this, a dangerous aura came from the side of Xu Cheng, which was a weak signal before the predator attacked!

Obviously, Xu Cheng had the Predator in mind when he said that.

The principal noticed this, but continued:

"It's not a question of whether it's necessary."

"During these long sixty years, I gradually came up with an idea - don't think too highly of that thing."

"They're just a bunch of idiots who are forced to follow rules and instincts."

"Trample, defile, exploit, opportunistically, use any means..."

"As long as you understand the rules, you can let them come and die on their own."

"——So, I despise them from the bottom of my heart."

Having said this, the principal turned his eyes in front of him and calmly ordered:

"Don't have any other thoughts. Kill it the moment it appears."

Xu Cheng understood what the principal said.

She took advantage of the rules that the predator must abide by and kept thinking in her mind to force the predator to appear and expose it to Xu Cheng's fist!

The next moment.

The predator disappeared from Xu Cheng's side.

It felt that the priority of its prey had changed, from Xu Cheng to the principal.



The scene in Xu Cheng’s eyes looked like this:

The predator appeared in front of the principal, opened its huge mouth, separated its exaggerated upper and lower jaws, and swallowed the principal inside.

But at that moment, whether it was the predator or the principal, their movements and expressions were strange.

The predator's dark eyes showed confusion.

It obviously acted according to its own rules, but it seemed as if it was forced to do so.

Just like the flood is destined to be diverted.

Even if the water wants to destroy the villages downstream, it must flow through other rivers indiscriminately.

The predator suddenly felt that his predation was not instinctive, but was forcibly led by the principal.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable for predators.



On the other hand, the principal——

What did this elegant old lady in a wheelchair do?

She stretched out the middle finger of her right hand and pointed it at the predator she could not see.

Yes, that's a "middle finger".

Vulgar, obscene, and unsightly actions.

But it contains many kinds of emotions.

Selfishness, contempt, dedication, arrogance, tenacity, anger...

Countless complex human emotions were mixed together and turned into the middle finger raised by the principal.

That's arrogance.

That's the arrogance of a principal against a predator.

That is human arrogance towards inherent rules.

The principal used the method of defiling the rules to draw the predator into a dying situation!



"Go to hell, you stupid thing."

Calm and smooth.

——This is the only curse word the principal has said in his life so far.

This veteran of the legion faced strange creatures with human thinking, showing his arrogance from the bottom of his heart.
