“Ghosts and humans are different things. Those so-called ‘humans’ in this world have already rotted away. If they really came out of the virtual world and attached themselves to their corpses, do you know what they would be? Zombies! Zombies are not human, they are alien species, and we must eliminate them.”
"I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your statement. Ghosts and souls are not the same. Chu Meng extracted the soul from the human body. Souls have weight, but do ghosts have weight? Souls can see the sun, but can ghosts see the sun? Your premise is wrong. Zombies and such are simply absurd. You can't simply and crudely classify them as alien species or strange creatures just because they are in a virtual world and cannot defend themselves. That's an irresponsible act."
"But where's the money? The fundamental problem now is, where's the money? You make it sound so appealing! Give me the money. If you have unlimited funds to keep this virtual world running, I can be a good person too."
“If it were one of your brothers or sisters who was imprisoned there, I don’t think you would say such a thing.”
The lively discussion was soon drowned out by an eerie silence.
Those who had been speaking fell silent and looked toward the place where the silence had first begun.
That petite girl, the first girl to awaken her own consciousness—Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan glanced at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu nodded slightly.
Linghu Lan slowly stood up and solemnly said, "I will take over!"
The entire hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, silently watching Linghu Lan.
The group looked at each other, seemingly unsure of what perspective to use to support their arguments.
After a long silence, someone broke it: "This operation requires a lot of capital, Ms. Ye Qinghuan. I know you are a shrewd businesswoman, but out of a sense of responsibility, I must remind you that the operating costs are truly enormous and could very well bankrupt your company."
"I know, I'm mentally prepared. Give me enough time, and I'll be able to earn enough money to support the game's continued operation."
“I want to know why you took over this virtual world? I want to know your true intentions.” Others also began to ask their own questions.
Linghu Lan smiled slightly, dazzling everyone. "I lived inside for a long time and had contact with many of the people there. With my ability, I cannot let them lose their chance to live."
Linghu Lan sat upright. They had now entered the stage of reviewing her qualifications to take over. No one else had the ability to do so, so it would be the best option for everyone if she could take over.
"So what do you plan to do with those people inside? Are you going to let them live the same life endlessly, like before, and live on forever?"
"No! I will restore their memories and let them decide for themselves how long they live." Linghu Lan stated her solution: let them decide their own fate; no one has the right to decide their future for them.
If you want to die, you can die immediately; if you want to live, you can live very easily.
The group paused for a moment. Although some of them had thought of this method, it was based on the premise that the game would continue to operate, so they hadn't mentioned it yet. However, they agreed with the method.
