Chapter 1826
1826 The Real Plan
“In summary, even though you were possessed by the monster mastermind, you didn’t commit any crimes against the law?”
Meng Chao thought about it and came to a conclusion for Lu Siya.
“That’s right.”
Lu Siya was full of confidence. “I have a clear conscience, and I’m willing to cooperate with any investigation. Unless I’ve been framed, you won’t be able to find anything wrong.”
!!
“I believe that with your intelligence, you wouldn’t leave any evidence behind if you’ve crossed the line.”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Siya. “But even if what you just said is the truth, we can still come to a completely different conclusion when we combine the ‘facts’ we’ve just heard.”
“Is that so?
“What’s the conclusion?” Lu Siya asked with a calm expression.
“It’s about you cutting ties with the Lu family and Sky Pillar Corporation. Sure, it was for freedom…”
Meng Chao paused for a moment before he changed the subject and said, “However, whose freedom was it? Was it for the true Lu Siya, a human, or was it for the monster mastermind hidden in her body?”
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
Lu Siya was still smiling. “Didn’t the monster mastermind in my body disappear? You destroyed it less than 24 hours ago. Have you forgotten about it already?”
“No, the monster mastermind’s life form is completely different from most carbon-based creatures. Perhaps, the gargantuan biological brain that we discovered in the monster civilization’s ultimate lair had just been a puppet that it leeched off. Perhaps, the real monster mastermind is an existence that’s even finer, more mysterious, and tougher than the spores of the Blood Flower.
“It’s possible.” Meng Chao thought for a moment and said, “Lu Zhongqi underestimated the terror of the monster mastermind. He thought that he could completely control the monster mastermind, so he extracted the essence from the huge brain tissue and mixed it into ‘monster medicine’ before injecting it into your body. He tried to use this method to create a wild banshee that was completely loyal to him, or at least someone he could use.
“Unfortunately, Lu Zhongqi underestimated your ambition and also the monster mastermind’s intelligence.
“Maybe the monster mastermind even interfered with his crazy idea and implanted itself deep into his brain.
“Using Lu Zhongqi, the monster mastermind was able to transfer its will from the huge biological brain that was closely monitored by humans into your body.
“After you fused with the monster mastermind and evolved into the wild banshee, you were indeed unwilling to become anyone’s puppet and chess piece.
“Be that as it may, compared to freedom for you, or ‘all of you,’ the more important thing was to clear your name.
“You knew very well that your secret was still in Lu Zhongqi’s hands.
“And after dozens of years fighting the monsters, humanity’s hatred for them had reached its peak.
“In that situation, your ambition, your life, and everything else would be destroyed if you revealed your monster power in public.
“Therefore, finding a legal and reasonable source for the monster power in your body became a priority so that one day, you could display your monster power openly in broad daylight.
“After that, everything you did had a purpose, whether it was establishing the Azure Alliance under Lu Siya’s name and seemingly serving the ordinary people wholeheartedly, or cutting ties with the Lu family and Sky Pillar Corporation openly, investigating the Blood Alliance, and attracting the Blood Alliance to deal with you in the most extreme ways.
“It was indeed your plan to act as bait and risk being caught by Yun Feidian.
“However, the real purpose of this plan was not as simple as exposing the Blood Alliance’s plot. It was to create the ‘truth’ that ‘the people’s hero, Lu Siya, was captured by the evil members of the Blood Alliance and forcefully injected with the monster serum, thereby obtaining the power of a monster.’
“I’m sure you’ve been planning this for a long time.
“From the moment you found Ai Lei through Tailless Monkey and asked her to interview Shen Yulin, your plot had already begun. Lu Zhongqi, Yun Feidian, the nine great families, and the Azure Alliance were not your opponents but your chips and chess pieces!
“My appearance might have surprised you.
“Yet, after careful consideration, you discovered that I would greatly increase the credibility of the ‘facts’ as a witness.
“Therefore, you adjusted your plan and got captured by Yun Feidian’s men right in front of me to lure me into saving you. You also confronted Yun Feidian at the risk of death while I was listening to you so that I would not doubt you.
“After that, you used my hands to ‘remove’ the monster’s power in your body. You even crippled your supreme martial strength that would have allowed you to reach the Deity Realm.
“Since you paid such a heavy price in front of me, I had no reason not to believe that you were 100% Lu Siya.
“However, your grandfather, Lu Zhongqi, said something very reasonable before he died.
“A person or ‘existence’ like you is destined to not be bound by a mere ‘realm.’
“The monster civilization of the past had dozens of Apocalyptic Beasts, and each of them had the power to destroy everything in their path.
“But so what? Weren’t they still annihilated by the cannons of the human race? And didn’t the entire civilization turn to dust?
“Perhaps, armed forces aren’t the most important thing for the long-term survival of a civilization.
“Wisdom is.
“Especially hidden wisdom.
“Besides, the way monsters train is different from humans.
“From a human’s point of view, even though your spirit meridians have been severed and you can no longer practice martial arts, our understanding of the monster civilization has deepened, and genetic modification technology has advanced with each passing day. All kinds of monster remnants have been analyzed and copied one after another, turning into a wide variety of powerful ‘monster medicine.’ Who knows if the remaining 0.01% of monster power in your body won’t revive and turn into a completely new upgraded version, a monster mastermind 2.0?
“Earlier, Su Mulian’s prediction confirmed my speculation as well.
“In the future that she dreamed of, you used a full ten years to win the trust of all the people in Dragon City, including me. It was only when you took over my position as Dragon City’s supreme ruler that you slowly revealed your true power and schemes.
“When that happens, no one will know whether the completely changed Dragon City will be considered a human civilization or a second monster civilization that has been revived after the so-called National Monster Transformation Plan has been fully implemented!”
Meng Chao finished speaking in one breath.
He was waiting for Lu Siya’s reaction, and it was beyond his expectations.
She burst into laughter.
