Chapter 492: The Protagonist’s Appearance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Vigilante A was doing a routine inspection in the sky. Lately, humans disappeared from time to time and were typically tied to some other humans, such that a group of them vanished together.

In the beginning, Sir System was extremely excited as it thought that a big demon that engulfed humans had appeared. Who knew, when the yellow dog was sent to investigate on this, it found out that it was just a common migration movement.

In former times, “humans strive to move up in society while water naturally flows downwards”, now, “water streams upwards whereas humans start to descend in society”.

Humans flooded like an endless stream towards rock masses thousands of meters deep, wave after wave, and a significant proportion of them were humans with high-level educations.

Those who were educated were truly precious resources.

Or else, their roles were not much different from a livestock’s. Back in those days in poverty-stricken families, a child’s value was far from a cow’s, but that was the reality even if it was a cruel one.

Sir said in a low spirit, “Sluggish Rich Boss, if humans keep going underground, it’ll be inconvenient for me to capture thieves, am I supposed to burrow like a rat? How is that as effective as flying in the sky?”

“Don’t you know Space Diversion?” Fang Ning asked indifferently while playing a singleplayer ,game.

“That’ll consume a massive amount of vital energy, how is that less troublesome than the flying sword? It can operate on its own by absorbing vitality from the outside world, I won’t need to consume anything.” Sir instantly felt discontented when it saw Fang Ning unbothered.

However, it could not do anything about being irritated since it could no longer threaten this loafer by cutting off the internet. It needed to think of a new idea.

“Don’t worry, I have a great understanding of humans, they can’t stay underground for long so they’ll definitely move out together once the threat is over. Humans need space, they’re beings with adventurous natures, in terms of biological nature, they’re unlike rats that are attached to narrow spaces. They’re just drifting along now, once the moon crisis is over, those humans will return if they should.”

Fang Ning dared not be so snobby in case he really ticked this fellow off, to the extent that it might just take his computer away, then it would be useless even if he could generate power…

“Oh, is that so? I’ll be more patient then, there are more thieves on land now.” Sir finally calmed down.

What could it do if it was impatient? It was a heroic system after all, so it did not know how to befog human minds.

Besides, it could not force them to stay on land to be left to die, could it?

Every time a disaster or a calamity occurred, ordinary commoners always did their utmost to search for means of life and to avoid tragedies, but they still ended up suffering the most.

Although Fang Ning sympathized them, he was too lazy to be concerned about it. In any case, Ren Ruofeng and the others would manage it, hence he would remain idle until he was asked to help…

As time went on, it was January of 2019 in the blink of an eye.

From when the flow of talents started, it became continuous and ever more critical, and even extended to various industries.

As for China, they seemed to have no intentions of ceasing it on a large scale.

They only announced that those who migrated underground need not to follow immigration procedures, they only needed to change the permanent address on their identification cards…

In that case, the meaning disclosed with it really made one wonder – China seemed to have been deemed to have jurisdiction over the rocky area of Greater Rat Kingdom as well.

All along, China had always been subtle towards the Greater Rat Clan. They were wary of them while they cooperated, and vice versa.

Now that they had built a kingdom thousands of meters underground, legally, the underground belonged to China’s ruling area.

That being said, the Greater Rat Clan’s self-government was crystal clear to everyone, they would never become a part of China.

Therefore, many people were disdainful towards China’s act of allowing the flow movement.

“The people from China are being too arrogant, demons are not one with humans at all, yet they literally didn’t introduce any measures to cease the flow of talents. Obviously, they’re going to repeat the same old mistakes where they civilize barbarians, bring the culture of tools and ironware to barbarians, but in turn, the barbarians invade their assimilation instead.”

“Yes, perhaps they’re drained from always being on the run. After all, China is vast, if they were to attend to everything and hinder the migration movement, there’ll only be more casualties when the crisis comes, might as well divert some people to the greater rats to relocate the pressure.”

“Sigh, in that case, they’re deliberately leaving a way out for the commoners. They didn’t constrict them with the so-called righteousness or make them stay to die, that’s truly a virtuous act of humanity.”

Some of the humans gave deferential remarks.

On the other hand, a heated debate was going on in the internal of demon clan.

‘The star of the show has appeared.’

Bai Shixin thought to himself as he looked at Cang Lang, flushed with anger on the platform.

“We can’t allow humans into the Underground Kingdom anymore! Our jobs are being snatched away by them, in the long run, can Demon Alliance still remain as it is? We might as well become Human-Demon Alliance!” Cang Lang yelled at the top of his lungs.

Currently, the second Demon Alliance Conference was being held, many standing members had gathered as well as the three executive committees.

Other than that, there were also some outstanding demons and newborn powerhouses that attended as non-voting delegates.

“Hehe, Brother Cang Lang, don’t be so agitated. A wise man once said that one learns from their enemies to subdue them. Brother Lang, since you’d like to confront humans, you should absorb their talents and learn their skills. Just like the Qing Dynasty that invited foreign specialists and made people study abroad, though it seemed pointless, it was actually done to develop talents for the revolution after that. From translation to science and technology, they’ve advanced from a medieval empire to modernity.” Elder Ancestor Bai responded calmly.

“You said it yourself, only the Qing Dynasty will do something like that! We’re the Demon Alliance and we have our own upper hand, it’s nothing the humans can compare to! There’s no need for us to take in so many humans, we just have to play our parts and we’ll be able to surpass them, instead of causing changes to Demon Alliance by allowing the infiltration of those humans!” Cang Lang displayed no signs of giving in.

All the while, he had been attempting to spark a war between humans and demons, so to gain prestige from it and to ascend the demon clan. If he let Elder Ancestor Bai implement such measures, how could his plan work?

By the time demons and humans start having more interactions with one another, Cang Lang’s worries from before would come true, such that ordinary demons would realize that most humans actually had little to no preconceptions of demons. Perhaps they were unfamiliar with getting along together, but as long as demons did not make trouble, ordinary humans rarely had motives to harm demons. On a contrary, they were more worried that demons would harm them.

Hence, previously in the mine, he used the oldest method, manpower, to extract minerals than employ human’s industrial mining technology in order to prevent extreme human infiltration.

Despite that, Elder Ancestor Bai was now taking advantage of the moon crisis to open doors to skillful humans, how could this be?

Not only would their forces would expand speedily, but it would also cause significant damage to the foundation of the Demon Alliance.

The introduction of new human talents would naturally impel the theory of “demons and humans as one”, sooner or later, the idea of “demons are humans” would gradually be rooted into the demons.

Eventually, demons would no longer be demons, they would become humans!

In fact, the notion of Vigilante A and Cloud Fog City would turn into reality!

Should that happen, they would be able to ascend from this, whereas he would lose all his foundation, and his plans would fall through.

In comparison, Elder Ancestor Bai, who had such wild ambitions left everyone dumbfounded, it was possible that everyone had been deceived.

Cang Lang vaguely thought about a frightening place, and when he turned to look at Elder Ancestor Bai who was so composed, a killing intent grew in his heart. He must exterminate this opponent.

‘I succeeded.’ Upon seeing that, Bai Shixin’s looks turned cold, with great focus, his spiritual gaze on Cang Lang managed to capture this killing intent.
