Chapter 1072 No one is spared
None of the people in the video were speaking their native language. Some could understand them, but others were confused and didn't know what Ye Wanxi had said to them during their confrontation.
[My foreign language skills aren't very good, could someone please help translate what these people said? Why do they all seem so angry after watching the video?]
[(Side-eye.jpg) That's why I always tell you to learn more; you never know when you'll need it. Look at this, you've really run into trouble—you don't even realize when someone insults you, let alone know how to insult them back!]
[The class representative is here. To translate: We are superhumans, and superhumans from abroad at that. We are a valuable asset to the nation. You cannot kill us. Even if we come here to kill, commit arson, kidnap, or extort, you cannot lay a finger on us, or you will be in big trouble.]
[Oh dear, my temper is flaring up! I really want to jump into the screen and beat them up!]
Wake up! Even if you crawl in, you won't be able to beat them up; you might even get killed. But after seeing this, everyone will say Ye Wanxi is awesome. Heh, you can't beat them but you still dare to act tough? I won't tolerate that; you deserve to be hung up and beaten like this!
[I cried. "They came to my house, dug up my land, stole my money, and even beat and killed my family members, and now they expect me to treat them like honored guests? What gave them such a bad impression?" My sister is so incredibly tough! She really thinks we're easy targets! We're the only ones who can bully our own family. Anyone else who dares to touch us will be severely punished. I declare that from today onwards, I'm my sister's loyal follower, the kind who's stuck to the spot for miles around!]
So, are these people dead or not? People like them deserve to die a thousand times over. I support tearing them to pieces to give the victims some justice!
The numbers representing countless lives, coupled with the perpetrator's unrepentant attitude in the video, successfully ignited everyone's anger and dissatisfaction.
The outrage online and in real life quickly reached Xiao Jihui and relevant departments, and Ye Wanxi and Qi Yingxuan, as the parties involved, also gained basic access to information.
"The origins of these people have been investigated and clarified."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi looked up at Xiao Jihui, signaling him to continue.
"They came from several different countries, but they all happened to be in Country B when the global spiritual energy was reviving. They were among the first group of superhumans to awaken there, and because of this time difference, they were granted some privileges."
Country B was different from them. With the help of Ye Wanxi and others, they had prepared a plan to deal with superhumans in advance. Before any bad signs appeared, they were suppressed, and no unnecessary casualties or turmoil occurred.
After the first batch of superhumans appeared in Country B, the entire country descended into even more out-of-control chaos.
Once those with superpowers awaken their abilities, they consider themselves superior to others. They crave special treatment unlike ordinary people and want to act recklessly without restraint.
Unable to control them, the people of Country B had no choice but to compromise, indulging their actions and granting them their demands, bestowing upon them a superior status in order to achieve this delicate balance.
"If that's the case, why did they come here, and how were they able to get here without anyone noticing?"
"Because their advantage is shrinking."
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you mean?"
"They were the first batch of superhumans, and naturally there will be a second and third batch. With so many superhumans, internal conflicts are bound to arise."
Xiao Jihui paused here: "The physical mutations brought about by the revival of spiritual energy do not necessarily affect the brain. Some ordinary people are smarter than most people even if they have not awakened any special abilities."
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly understood Xiao Jihui's meaning.
Eight or nine out of ten physically strong people can't outsmart those with sharp minds. To put it in a familiar saying, you tacticians are all dirty-minded!
"For various reasons, the gap between people with superpowers and ordinary people is narrowing. To be precise, the gap between ordinary people who can control the life and death of others and people with superpowers who can control the life and death of others is narrowing."
"So they set their sights on us?"
Xiao Jihui pursed his lips, unable to tell whether he was relieved or worried: "This is the calmest place after the spiritual energy revival, and also the place where ordinary people are best protected."
For their own people, this was undoubtedly something to be praised, but for those covetous outsiders, this place was simply an incredibly tempting piece of meat.
Ye Wanxi continued, her face cold, "How did they manage to evade the inspection?"
"They contacted a superhuman in China and got in with his help."
"A superhuman?" Ye Wanxi was somewhat surprised.
As Xiao Jihui said this, his face also darkened.
Ye Wanxi predicted that after the spiritual energy revival, not only would plants and animals mutate, but people would too. The higher-ups were worried that the emergence of superhumans would directly cause some people to lose their sense of propriety and do things that crossed the line.
Indeed, this is true. Although the situation was handled in a timely manner, most of the bad signs were nipped in the bud.
However, there are quite a few people like these few superpowered individuals who consider themselves superior and deserving of special treatment.
The superhuman who helped them get in was one of them. It's unclear how he got in touch with these people, but after hearing about their experiences abroad, he couldn't help but be tempted.
Under their persuasion, he agreed to cover for them and let them in smoothly, on the condition that he would get a share of the profits after the deed was done, and that they take him with them when they left.
Upon hearing Xiao Jihui's explanation, Ye Wanxi knew that this man was not very bright. To cooperate with these people was like asking a tiger for its skin; the final result would be either swallowing others or being swallowed up, with no third possibility.
Where are they?
"Dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes. After he picked up the person, he happened to run into his family while taking him back to settle him in. His family members were all ordinary people. After the meeting, it is unknown whether a conflict occurred, but he and his family members were all killed."
What Xiao Jihui didn't say was that, judging from the traces at the scene, this man's family members must have been killed first, which led to his conflict with these people. He was then outnumbered and died as well.
But he didn't say it, though Ye Wanxi probably guessed it.
These people's purpose in coming here was not pure, and based on what we saw in the supermarket before, they looked at ordinary people no differently than they looked at an ant that they could crush at any time.
When faced with an ant that can be crushed with a mere step, yet could expose their identity and plans, the safest solution is naturally to render them unable to utter a sound.
