Chapter 96 - Truth Part 2 (2/2)

The people might not care about how the hero died, but in Orston’s heart, he could not accept that his loving and living fifth brother had simply disappeared from his world without an answer.

Was his fifth brother’s death to conceal the so-called truth?

Thuja did not say anything. A layer of mystery veiled his side face as he looked up into the sky.

“I hate this kind of ignorant nonsense.”

The capstan then stopped spinning. The iron chain was still shaking a little as it reeled up a huge iron cage. The door of the iron cage was already open and Yang Kong stepped out from it. It was he who mocked the upset Orston.

“Who made us ignorant then?” Orston’s face was red as his anger made his veins pop, but Tang Ling held him back from doing anything stupid.

Who would not be angry though?

If someone had told him the day before that the night scene that Tang Ling had seen for more than a decade, including the towering cliff, the distant night sky, and the misty mountain were all fake, he would also have been furious.

There were many times that he and his late little sister quietly gazed at the night scene on top of that little hill, so the countless warm and kind memories that he retained from the scenery was self-explanatory.

However, in the end, his memories and what he experienced were all fake!

Nonetheless, so what? The truth had been revealed. Getting upset at it was a helpless act. While an explanation might seem important, facing it and accepting it was more important.

Orston could also only accept and face it.

As the thought lingered in his mind, Tang Ling tapped Orston’s shoulder. His little tap was magical as it swiftly calmed Orston down.

Orston felt at ease. After all, he still had his companions, did he not?

Yang Kong, on the other hand, was not moved by Orston’s question. He walked towards Thuja and said, “Is that so difficult to accept? There was a technology called a 3D holographic projection from the latter period of the old civilization. The technology was very interesting and still had a lot of space to improve, but as we all know, the old civilization was destroyed. However, it didn’t mean that our era doesn’t have better projection technology than the old civilization.”

“Coincidentally, our Safety Sector No. 17 has such a high tech projector and we fully made use of it. Still, it wasn’t something worth all the astonishment because this technology already existed in the old civilization, didn’t it?”

Yang Kong was already standing beside Thuja, looking asquint at Orston before he continued, “Or maybe you prefer us to unveil the truth to the people? Would that be better, making them live the rest of their lives in constant fear?”

Orston looked down and went silent. How should he reply? Why would he have the right to assume that people should live their lives in fear?

Tang Ling stood in front of Orston without saying a word. His eyes were clear. He did not think that lying and deceiving were correct.

Why live in constant fear? If one could get used to fear and accept it, fear would be a foreign concept.

Had humans not faced their odious primal lives and live persistently since the dawn of evolution?

There was nothing right or wrong in this kind of situation. They were nothing but decisions made by the strong.

Tang Ling did not care about other people’s thoughts, but he knew he had to live with a clear mind. Since that night, he was determined to be strong and soldier on without being made a fool.
