LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 13 Yao E
"Human beings are actually no different from evil spirits."
"You and I are both living beings, so why can't we get along with each other?"
"The so-called idea of exterminating the other side is completely genocidal!"
In the large lecture hall, a white-haired old man was speaking impassionedly.
The audience sitting down looked shocked.
Today's lecture is obviously "The Biological Mechanism of Fierce Demons"...
Chair professor, once a senior researcher of the Federation, an academic leader with high prestige.
The first half of today's lecture was pretty normal.
But in the second half, things obviously changed.
In the front row of the VIP auditorium, Qin Huizhi, one of the arbiters of the Imperial City Base City, his face darkened and he scolded in a low voice:
"Nonsense!"
"That guy Yao E is just messing around!"
"You actually found a coexistence professor to give a lecture?"
The old professor demonstrated on the stage for about ten minutes that "human beings and evil spirits can and should live in peace together."
Finally, a middle-aged man wearing a white executive robe came on stage and reminded the old professor with a smile:
"Professor Li, time."
The white-haired old professor reacted immediately, quickly finished his speech, and then handed the stage to the middle-aged executive.
The middle-aged executive took the microphone, cleared his throat, and prepared to put the finishing touches on today's lecture.
At this time, he noticed the compelling gaze of Qin Huizhi in the audience.
Yao E knew in his heart that Lord Qin was a little dissatisfied with him.
He did not inform Qin Huizhi in advance that today's lecture was attended by a member of the Coexistence Sect.
Many of the people attending today's lecture were from the upper class of the imperial base city.
Including senior administrative officials, middle-level and senior-level military officials, and heads of well-known enterprises...
Inviting a member of the coexistence faction to give a lecture to these people is bound to arouse quite a reaction!
Qin Huizhi is still a little worried in his heart.
I am worried that today’s lecture will shake my position as the arbiter.
When Yao E was about to continue summarizing, suddenly, someone in the audience raised his hand and spoke:
"Excuse me! Isn't today's lecture about evil demonology?"
"Can the host explain why the topic ended up being about humans and evil spirits coexisting?"
The speaker was a fair-skinned young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Next to him, sat a young woman with a high ponytail, staring fiercely at Yao E on the stage. It could be seen that she was trying her best to suppress her anger.
Yao E recognized the young man and woman. He smiled and said:
"Second Lieutenant Lu Yingcai, I think we should allow different voices."
Lu Yingcai adjusted his glasses and retorted in a neither condescending nor condescending tone:
"This is not a question of allowing different voices, but a question of containing private goods."
Yao E chuckled and continued:
"Private goods? Then let me ask, how should we define private goods?"
"Professor Li is a leading figure in the study of demonology and is highly respected in the academic world. I want such an academic leading figure to express his views. Shouldn't I accuse him of carrying personal goods?"
"And in the final analysis, now is a confused era, an era waiting for us to make a choice. The ultimate goal of any idea or school of thought is to continue human civilization."
“So, from the perspective of continuing human civilization, there is no concept of so-called ‘private goods’.”
Lu Yingcai was speechless for a moment.
In the audience, Qin Huizhi's expression softened slightly.
Yao E, this kid, has always been a first-class sophist.
At this time, Li Yun, who was next to Lu Yingcai, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up, pointed at Yao E and angrily said:
"Continue human civilization!?"
"Blue Star is the home of mankind. As intruders, evil demons are invading our living space and killing our compatriots and relatives!"
"Let us coexist with these vicious and devil-like races?! Is it possible!?"
"How dare you say that you are here to continue human civilization! How shameless!"
Li Yun also stared sternly at the white-haired old professor on the side of the stage, who unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The dispute between the two sides also caused an uproar in the venue.
Some of the audience members left the stage one after another, fearing that this lecture would cause them unnecessary trouble.
…
"Yao E, you are getting bolder and bolder."
"Did I allow you to arrange people from the coexistence faction?"
Qin Huizhi looked gloomy, and after the lecture ended unhappy, he asked Yao E to come to his office and lecture him.
Yao E said with a respectful look:
"Master Qin, please calm down."
"Although today is my own initiative, I think today's lecture is not meaningless."
Qin Huizhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, snorted coldly and said:
"I didn't expect that the coexistence faction's power would have grown to this extent."
Just now, Qin Huizhi carefully observed the changes in the demeanor of all the audience in the entire venue.
At least nearly half of them do not reject the idea of the coexistence faction, but actually agree with it.
"Three years! Humanity has been trapped in Base City for three full years!"
“Fertility, hunger, healthcare, pollution, energy!”
"These problems have been tormenting mankind for three full years! More problems will emerge in the future!"
"Many people are feeling war-weary. This is a fact!"
Yao E stretched out his hands and said excitedly to Qin Huizhi.
"Master Qin, now is the time for us to make a decision!"
"Death or life!"
"The Imperial Capital Base City is the strongest among the five base cities! The other base cities are all looking at us!"
"Your choice will dominate the entire human civilization!"
After hearing this, Qin Huizhi was silent for a long time, and then said:
"My opinion alone means nothing."
"Master Hu now supports the main war faction, and he has the power of [Master Wang] in his hands."
Qin Huizhi was referring to another arbiter in the imperial base city, Hu Ruzhen.
The two men of Qin and Hu now formed a power structure with rivalry in the imperial capital base city.
Yao E chuckled a few times and said:
"Then you should choose to support the coexistence faction, right?"
"The coexistence faction will become your most powerful right-hand man!"
"Master Qin, with all due respect, if we continue to fight according to the concept of the main war faction, the human race will be destroyed in less than five years!"
"Now that the demon world is counterattacking the human world, we know how terrifying the demon world's strength is! The existence of multiple eighth-level evil demons has been observed! Although the demon servant's blood sea is missing, according to predictions, its strength may have exceeded Ninth level!”
"And what about the human race? How many eighth-level experts are there?"
"In this situation, if we don't let go of the meaningless pride of the human race, we will harm the entire human race!"
"If you haven't sued for peace now, what are you waiting for?"
Yao E's tone gradually became excited.
Qin Huizhi also fell into deep thought.
Finally, he let out a breath and seemed to have figured it out.
"After all, I also have passion, but reason does not allow me to be willful. Yao E, you are right. For the sake of the human race, difficult and correct decisions must be made."
"Just Yao E, have you ever thought about how the evil race is so powerful, how did the human race in ancient times resist these terrifying species?"
“Those questions have puzzled me as a senior federal official: Why is the history of that period so often brushed aside?”
Qin Huizhi said thoughtfully.
Yao E didn't think much and said:
"It is precisely because the human race cannot defeat the evil demon that the emperor chose to cede territory and seek peace. Now it seems that it is not a good way to preserve the human race's fire."
Qin Huizhi's eyes were deep and he murmured to himself in a low voice:
"This man has passed away, and the truth...maybe no one will ever know."
