Chapter 116: The 30th Game What We Need Is a... [Truth...
“…Cough cough cough cough cough!!!”
"My Lord, my Lord! What's wrong with you?! Are you having an adverse reaction to the blood again?! Or maybe you should just drink—"
"Get out!! Get out of here!!!"
"My Lord, you must not be afraid to seek medical treatment!"
"Get out! Don't you understand what I'm saying?! Get out!!!"
"Ah! Sir! Let go! This thing will hurt you!!"
"Get away!!! Don't touch me!!!"
"My Lord, my Lord! I heard that you're sick again, and your deformity is even worse! Please come over and take a look!!"
"Humph, doesn't [He] already have a [copy] of [me]? Why are you still looking for me?!!"
"My Lord, all the clones have been swallowed by that person..."
"Swallow? Haha ...... It seems that [He] is just a [freak species] that can't resist [desire]. He is not the so-called-"
“Ka-”!!!
“Aa ...
"My Lord, My Lord!!! My Lord has died suddenly!!!!! My Lord has died suddenly!!!!"
“Someone! Someone! Come and put out the fire!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Come and put out the fire——!!!!”

"Regarding the recent actions of the Deformed Species within the City, we want to say that the life and death of humanity is a matter of such discretion, so please do not panic..."
"In addition, we will also dispatch troops to suppress these [Deformed Species]. Please trust our troops unconditionally..."
"Finally, we [the top brass] will perish alongside you all. We will never defect, never retreat, and will do our utmost to protect you all. I hope you will support us... Thank you?"
"Okay, what about the latest one?"
"Well, let me see..."
"...Recently, our [High-level] have been subjected to fabricated slander, including but not limited to slandering [High-level] as [Deformed], slandering [High-level] as [preying] [magicians], slandering [High-level] as [brainwashing] [humans], slandering [High-level] as [planning] the [war] seven years ago, slandering [High-level] as [sucking] [magicians'] [vitality], slandering [High-level] as [using] [the city's] [security department] as [selecting] [targets] for [sucking], slandering [High-level] as [using] [the city's] [treatment department] as [covering] the [truth], slandering [High-level] as [desiring] [good partners], slandering [High-level] as [making] and [modifying] [city's] [rules], slandering [High-level] as [doing these things] for [immortality]."
"These are all malicious slanders. [Senior management] can assure everyone that we have absolutely not done these things and will definitely not do them in the future."
"From today on, the monthly salaries of the people in the city will be doubled as an apology."
"So, I hope everyone will not believe these malicious lies. We will also work hard to make them disappear."
"Finally, I wish you all a smooth life, and to be kind and not to always maliciously slander others. Thank you..."
"These……"
"Well, I found it from your memories when you were unconscious." He Yuezhe replied with a smile, "But you don't seem to have lost your memory because of this, right?"
"Hiss, aren't you afraid that my memory will be modified by someone?" Shan Rendong covered his head with his hands, his voice hoarse.
He Yuezhe's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Ah, you didn't really think I found those from your memory, did you?!"
“…”
"Um?"
“…”
"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore," He Yuezhe waved, motioning Shan Rendong to come over to the coffee table. "Here, read these pictures again for me, what are the messages from the public?"
"I was in a coma for so many days."
I watched Honeysuckle get out of bed, put on her coat, and then stand motionless in the middle of the room.
"What's wrong?" He Yuezhe asked puzzledly.
“I…cough cough ...
“Wa ...
…
"Enthusiastic netizen Xiao Wang said that the [deformed species] brackets, [high-level], and expansionist behavior are simply heinous crimes. We should oppose the emergence of such forces in our [town]."
“…”
"The enthusiastic netizen Xiao Liu said that this behavior is actually not bad. Didn't you read the clarification released by [higher-level officials] yesterday?"
“…”
"Enthusiastic netizen Xiao Li replied to enthusiastic netizen Xiao Liu, saying that after reading the clarification, he still found this behavior despicable. It completely fails to consider what humans actually need. What we need...is not a salary at all. What we need is...the truth."
“…”
"Xiao Li? Such a familiar name... Oh, I'm so tired, I'd better not read it."
“…”
"sorry?"
“…”
"Mountain honeysuckle? Did you really fall asleep listening to this?"
“…”
"……No."
"Then why don't you speak?"
"nothing."
"Tell me?"
"……let go."
"No, if you don't tell me I will keep pulling you!" He Yuezhe snorted and laughed twice, and the strength in his hands increased.
"—I'll hold you close until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, okay?"
“…”
“Hmph.”
"...Fuck you."
"It's just a search of your vital core. Don't be so angry."
“…”
"Okay, I won't tell anyone about your affairs. Let's just keep it a secret between the two of us. How about that?"
"Not very good."
"So you want to—?"
"Bang--"!
"Squeak."
"How are you guys sorting it out? [High-level]...clarification..."
"Damn it, what are you two doing?!"
He Yuezhe looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Xiqin holding a large brown paper bag, looking up and down at her and Shan Rendong with horror on her face.
"Captain!" He Yuezhe raised Shan Rendong's hand, which she was still holding, and waved it towards the door, saying, "You're back!"
"Minglin."
"Well……"
"And you, Mountain Honeysuckle."
"Whether Minglin knows about that or not, at least you know about it, right?" Tang Xiqin walked over angrily and placed the brown paper bag on the coffee table. "On the eve of a big battle, we should be more careful, right?!"
"team leader……?"
"Host, you clearly know that the body of a [Deformed Species] can [harm] a [Magician], right?"
"...Isn't this body a [Deformed]?"
“…Hmm? Oh? Host, what are you talking about? Hahahaha, why don’t I understand? Hahahaha?”
"Captain, don't you know that she is also..."
"I know! But you are—never mind, I don't want to talk about that anymore." Tang Xiqin held her forehead. "Anyway, you better be careful and don't involve other people in this."
"Ah, no wonder."
"Host?"
"Tell me, before Shan Lao San [changed] his [past], that is, before Shan Lao San became Shan Honeysuckle's adoptive father, why was Shan Honeysuckle already a [freak species], and even the "young lady" of a [freak species] [family], in the [dream] that [linked] me and the [ball]?"
"The problem is her mother? Is Honeysuckle's mother a [deformed species]? But, can a [deformed species] fall in love with a [magician] and even have offspring?"
"Then, Zhang Chanyi...how could she be someone I could only meet once?" He Yuezhe continued to ask, "Then why didn't she appear in the main storyline?"
"Dead, missing? But no one has mentioned it."
"Who exactly is that Shan Lao San? As a man, he seems to have experienced the war seven years ago, and he also... has the ability to conceive."
"It seems that there is indeed a problem with the [rules] within the [city]. There are not only [women] among the [magicians]."
"Then, what is the purpose of those [high-level officials] deliberately [distorting] this [fact]?"
"...[Good Partner]?"
"Well, speaking of Minglin, and this body of hers, the origin of which even she herself can't explain..."
"Ouch, my head hurts."
"Host……"
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? You can't be angry, right? I wasn't talking about you just now."
A slightly trembling, calloused hand passed before He Yuezhe's eyes, and Tang Xiqin's voice rang out.
"No, I'm not angry." He Yuezhe was stunned, stuttered, and shook his head.
"Then stop being dazed and give me what you've sorted out. I'll give it to the news department and have them spread the word."
"Captain, um," He Yuezhe handed Tang Xiqin the notebook she used to organize information, "Is the war you just mentioned real? Is it really going to start again?"
Tang Xiqin was silent for a few seconds, then took the notebook and flipped through it while saying, "What else? Since seven years ago, when [geniuses] appeared frequently, [they] dared to start a war for their own selfish desires, then now, [geniuses] are being [hunted], and powerful and talented [mages] are either in hiding or have already died."
"Under such circumstances, given the personalities of the [high-level] leaders, how could [they] not start a war?"
"So, Minglin, even though the [Academy] is about to close for the holidays, since you've chosen [Magician] and [Human], we can't let you go back [outside the city]."
"...Captain, are you here just to tell me this?"
"Yeah, I almost forgot. Luckily, you reminded me."
“…”
"Minglin, I'm sorry."
"But in this matter, we must be extremely careful and not allow even the slightest possibility of that happening."
"...Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
He Yuezhe stood beside the bed, under the fluorescent light of this small dormitory.
The bitingly cold artificial light shone on her and the other two people, and He Yuezhe couldn't help shivering.
She saw Tang Xiqin's clenched fist move.
"Captain, don't you all believe me?" He Yuezhe asked.
“…”
"Captain, don't you all believe me?" He Yuezhe asked again.
“…”
"Captain...you...don't you all believe me?" He Yuezhe asked again.
He Yuezhe felt a pain in his body, as if it were being peeled off. For the first time, he realized how painful his heart would be when his friends' trust faded away.
But why?
Why not believe her?
Why…?
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure it out.
