"Oh? What kind of understanding do you have?" Wang Ji asked, becoming more serious and curious.
In fact, Wang Ji's feelings toward his father-in-law were rather complicated.
As for the alien theory, he knows there's nothing more to say now. He feels his initial vigilance was timely and he can barely understand Dukao's desire to control his subordinates.
He just didn't accept it at the time, and now that I think about it, it's even less likely he would accept it.
As for Duca's attempts to suppress him or his slightest scheming during that period, those are things that have passed and will be forgotten.
Although the memories remain.
As for Du Qiangwei's matter, the two of them didn't get along, and Wang Ji felt that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
In official matters, Dukao remains a trusted lieutenant of the state, and Wang Ji remains his subordinate, and Wang Ji will still accurately carry out the other party's orders.
There are some things that he doesn't want to say aloud, but the subtle sense of calculation and restraint, and the persistence of it, even when he can't suppress it, really makes him feel... well.
Wang Ji should be respected when it comes to Ducao, and he has shown respect for him.
But he can't always act like a subservient person.
He has been maintaining his restraint, and he has the right to choose whether to continue to be completely restrained, especially when he is not in a good mood.
The other party could never see him clearly, and even thought he was just a silly boy being manipulated casually, which Wang Ji didn't think was very good.
If he hadn't said those harsh words, Dukao might not have even been interested in giving him any further information.
He was dismissed with a simple, "These are not things you need to consider."
Those who have lived longer and have more experience tend to be less concerned about the thoughts of younger people.
Just like the other party said, you are just a soldier.
Wang Ji believes that in Dukao's eyes, at least on Earth, his identity will always be that of a warrior.
“I shouldn’t be saying these things to you, but… you know, the Taotie civilization is a follower of Death God Karl.”
Dukao's gaze was deep. He took only one puff of his new cigarette before it quietly burned out during the conversation. He stubbed it out in the ashtray and didn't light another one.
"Death God Karl enjoys studying death. As you know, the civilization of the Styx Galaxy likes to create death to please this god, so the Taotie came to Earth naturally for killing and death, there is no doubt about that."
Wang Ji listened quietly; these were all old news, and he already knew them.
He just wanted to know if Ducao and his team had any countermeasures he wasn't aware of.
"When it comes to creating carnage, nuclear bombing is certainly the most convenient way, but it's not fun for the Taotie," Dukao said, shaking his head slightly. "They are beasts, and beast life is different from ours. You probably understand that different life forms have different habits and interests."
Animals are inherently fond of killing and enjoy the feeling of hunting and playing with their prey; this is determined by their innate and completely bestial nature.
For them, the process of killing life, such as personally killing us humans, gives them pleasure.
This is similar to the various desires of us humans.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ji subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and Dukao suddenly felt a sharp killing intent, which startled him.
However, the killing intent quickly dissipated after a short time.
Dukao thought about it and roughly understood that Wang Ji had a reason to have such an aura and killing intent. After all, although he looked young, he had already killed more than a thousand Taotie.
“So…” Dukao continued, but paused before continuing, “They are unlikely to directly use nuclear weapons to bombard the earth. For them, although there is the Super Soldier Corps, the backward Earth civilization is their hunting ground.”
They enjoy the feeling of strangling their prey and the prey's powerless resistance. Naturally, they cannot simply slaughter them all. Moreover, they also want to keep their prey as pets...
Amidst the carnage and fear, the faith in death spread to the conquered civilizations. Those who were powerless to change their fate, in the darkness and fear, had a certain chance of believing in the god of death, Karl, or even actively choosing death.
For them, this is naturally far more meaningful than using nuclear bombs to clean up the ground.
Enjoy the fun, conquer civilization, spread faith, and nurture life.
The same principle applies to destroying stars.
Therefore, you don't need to worry too much about situations like nuclear bombing or planet destruction causing immediate collapse of Earth.
These findings can be traced back to information about the Taotie civilization's past invasions of other civilizations. For example, regarding your concern about planetary destruction, they have never engaged in such behavior.
Dukao spoke very clearly, and Wang Ji even felt that he was very frank. This was the first time Wang Ji had heard such clear words from Dukao's mouth. In the past, the most he had heard were orders and commands.
But……
He took a slow breath, a look of indescribable expression appearing on his young face. He lowered his head, staring at the teacup in silence for a long while.
After a long pause, he finally looked up at Dukao, who had been waiting, and said, "Then the only reason why our Earth civilization doesn't have to worry about the Taotie civilization directly using nuclear weapons to wipe out our land is... that they need to enjoy the process of killing?"
Wang Ji's feelings were strange and complicated.
He had always understood the law of the jungle, but only when it happened to him in person could he truly feel the excruciating pain, the mental anguish, and the humiliation he felt.
