Chapter 634 - Jin Qianxi (1/2)

Meng Chao had been observing A’Ji quietly.

He noticed that as A’Ji told his story, his expression and demeanor changed rapidly.

At some points, he was like an experienced member of society who had ruled over his territory for decades.

At other times, he was like an ambitious person who had retracted his claws and was plotting something.

Yet at other times, he was like a warrior filled with passion and indignation.

While in the end, he turned into a mischievous boy from Leprosy Village.

His demeanor changed seamlessly, which made it look like he was switching personalities like someone suffering from multiple personality disorder.

Yes, multiple personality disorder, this was the first impression Meng Chao had as he listened to A’Ji’s story.

He would not foolishly believe everything A’Ji said about Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao’s personality having disappeared without a trace when he regained his youth.

Jin Wanhao did not die completely.

Instead, he turned into memories that were implanted in the boy’s brain like a seed. When the time was ripe, they would definitely take root and grow.

This was Meng Chao’s personal experience.

After he returned from the apocalypse, he felt that there were two personalities in his brain.

One of them was a young adult in his early twenties. He was at the prime of his life, full of passion, and occasionally a little foolish and naive.

The other was an undead, fragmented spirit who had lived through its life as a Ghost Assassin and was badly wounded by the flames of the apocalypse.

Both personalities clashed against each other. Sometimes, this caused him to display different demeanors, thoughts, and ways of doing things.

A’Ji should be going through the same thing, right?

However, this was not the time for him to wonder whether the boy in front of him was A’Ji or Jin Wanhao.

Even if he were the ambitious and devious Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao, he had never stepped over the limits of humanity. Instead, he had secretly executed almost one hundred human scum who were infamous on the bounty list.

Meng Chao believed that the families of the victims would definitely beat drums and put on banners to thank Jin Wanhao once they learned that those human scums were tortured to death by Jin Wanhao, or rather, A’Ji.

Besides, A’Ji was a nine-year-old genius martial artist who could execute Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash. He could definitely increase Dragon City’s chances of victory during the Other World War.

Since all of them had a pleasant time working together in the battle within the lair, Meng Chao still hoped that he could protect and guide A’Ji so that he would sincerely serve the people and walk down the brilliant path of contributing to the civilization.

But there was a crucial thing that he had to understand.

“After you told me these things, I understand all that has happened. Let me just make a statement here. I don’t think that you’ve committed any crime that deserves the death penalty,” Meng Chao said. “But I have one final question. I want to know whether Jin Wanhao’s sister is also an X-shaped eye owner.”

A’Ji was silent for a while before he whispered, “Yeah.”

“You mentioned just now that the X-shaped eye owners usually have stronger regenerative abilities compared to normal superhumans. The ones who are luckier even gain all sorts of strange abilities. In any case, it’s easier for them to survive dangerous situations, right?”

Meng Chao pondered over what he had learned. “You also mentioned that this Ms. Jin Qianxi had even better talent than Battle God Lei Zongchao, right?”

“What exactly do you want to ask?” A’Ji became worked up.

“You know where this is going.” Meng Chao sighed. “The abnormal beast research department has been researching the monster civilization for a long time, but even now, the researchers haven’t figured out how the monsters built a civilization that has a strict system, clear distribution of tasks, understands human language and even our societal habits within just a few decades and without external factors helping them. After all, just recently, they were a bunch of ignorant savages of different species, which hunted each other and regarded each other as enemies.

“You must know that humans spent millions of years moving from learning how to strike stones together to make fire to building brilliant civilizations!

“Even the evidence from forensic science showed that monsters aren’t products of natural evolution. Instead, they’re biochemical products modified by some mysterious force. But when Dragon City just transmigrated, these monsters only had brains but no intellect. Yet they managed to traverse the entire path of human evolution within just a few decades? That’s ridiculous. We spent millions of years to reach where we are today.

“Look at the series of schemes the Vortex set up. It had a terrifying degree of knowledge of human habits. Could this be possible without a real human providing guidance to it?”
