As soon as the woman finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
This group of soul people seemed to be holding a meeting.
"By the way, I think you need this." Alcherev smiled and handed Su Mingan a mask.
The mask was all white and could completely cover his face. As a race that moved at night and could not see the light, they needed something like this to conceal their true appearance.
Su Mingan put on a mask, walked down, and saw an extremely empty underground hall.
The size of the hall is similar to the school's 500-person auditorium. It is difficult to understand how these soul people created such a large underground area right under the noses of humans.
On the seats in the auditorium, there were 50 or 60 soul clansmen of different appearances sitting sparsely, all of them exuding a unique aura belonging to the soul clan. These soul clansmen all wore masks on their faces, which completely concealed their true appearance.
When Su Mingan stepped into the conference room, the Soul Clan members who were clapping hard all turned around at the same moment.
When they saw Su Mingan, their eyes through the masks changed in an instant.
That's the look one gets when looking at food.
"Team leader, what did you bring back? Is it a snack for us?" A soul clan member with a ponytail stared at Su Mingan.
"Hungry... so hungry, I'm so hungry... I haven't eaten a soul for more than ten days. This human smells so good."
“What a unique flavor, looks really delicious…”
The soul clan members whispered to each other, completely treating Su Mingan as a human.
When meeting the gaze of this group of Soul Clan members, Su Mingan saw an extremely spectacular scene.
The eyes of the soul clan members, who originally had normal eye color, suddenly turned red the moment they saw him. This is a characteristic of the soul clan members when they are emotionally excited.
They leaned forward, as if they wanted to pounce on him, but were afraid of the old man's majesty and did not dare to get close.
It seems that he is extremely attractive to the Soul Clan.
"Don't be like this, everyone." Alcherev said with a smile, patting Su Ming'an on the shoulder: "This is a new foreign soul who has joined our eastern hunting area. He is quite powerful. Boy, introduce yourself."
"What? They are actually from the Soul Clan..."
"It's so strange, he smells so good, I really can't help it..."
"Why does the Soul Clan have this smell..."
Facing these soul clan members who were obviously extremely hungry, Su Mingan remained calm and reported his pseudonym.
At the same time, he raised his head slightly and saw the Soul Clan member who had just given a speech standing on the podium in the auditorium.
She was a tall woman with long ice-blue hair. She was not wearing a mask, and her eyes were cold and bright, looking very powerful. She was carrying a big sword on her back, and when he looked into her eyes, Su Mingan seemed to hear the clear sound of the scabbard.
Unlike the Soul Clan he had seen before, although her eyes were also red, she looked like a dignified swordsman with a straightforward gaze, which made people completely unable to associate her with a murderous race with a code name that was cold and terrifying.
When Su Mingan called out his name, the woman laughed, her voice as clear as jade beads.
"Alcherev." She completely ignored Su Mingan's existence and looked directly at the old man beside her: "It's a chaotic period recently, and something happened in the East District again. I won't allow you to bring in such a suspicious guy casually."
"Don't say that, Lucia." The old man smiled, but his body slightly protected Su Ming'an: "We are all compatriots. In such a precarious world, we should help each other if we can. You also know that the inspections in the East District have been strict recently. If we just drive this little guy out, the soul hunters will not show mercy."
"The Soul Hunters have recently recruited a large number of new members, and their numbers have almost tripled. Those guys are pressing our limited living space step by step. Now is not the time to be kind." Lucia said coldly: "We don't accept trash that needs our protection."
Her tone was extremely blunt, completely different from the highly inflammatory tone of her speech just now. When facing Su Mingan, a stranger from the soul clan, her expression was almost ruthless.
"Alcherev, a weakling of the Soul Clan, has no value in survival," Lucia said.
"...Then the fifty or sixty people present here will have to die." Su Mingan suddenly said.
Lucia's eyes turned cold, and her icy gaze fixed on him.
"After listening to your speech, I thought you were a wise leader." Su Mingan looked at her, "But now it seems... your knowledge is pitifully shallow."
"You guy... do you want to die?" Lucia took a step forward.
A majestic aura rose from her, and even broken ice spread out from under her feet. Seeing this, the soul clan members sitting in the seats showed an expression of longing for the strong.
"It's a pity." Su Mingan said, "A leader of a faction who claims to control humanity, a soul clanist who claims to be "several times stronger than humans", should have shown his most powerful and indestructible side in front of these people who admire you."
As he spoke, he temporarily closed the live broadcast:
"——and now."
"From your words, I can only see the hypocrisy of your speech. Your logic is completely opposite. You say that you are a beautiful and powerful race, but you also say that you don't need the weak in the race. So what are you expecting? Lucia, what kind of people are you leading? What do you want them to do for you? Since you want the entire race to regain its dignity, since you want to conquer cities and go further, you also want to abandon those who you call trash. Maybe you can think so in your heart, but you must never say it in front of people who believe in you."
"You should tame these people, but not use strong theories."
"You should lead these people, but you must not use overly blunt words."
"If you want to expand your living space, want to judge those 'weaker than you', and want to be the leader that everyone should take for granted. You shouldn't say such words in this situation, exposing the naked values in your heart."
"You must make those who don't follow you feel the fanaticism in your eyes."
"You have to make everyone believe...even yourself, the theory of 'glory' that you are talking about."
"Even the old man beside me understands this better than you. Although he is also wary of me, he won't say it out loud. Because he must know that I will be a force that you can unite with."
"…because of fear, I rejected all possibilities. Because of fear of being betrayed, I refused to accept them from the beginning."
"In this case, where does your so-called ambition come from? You say that the weak Soul Clan has no value in survival, but you don't use your own eyes to confirm it. You say that the Soul Clan is a powerful race favored by the world, but you abandon your compatriots who are not strong. Your theory and behavior are completely in opposite directions..."
"Lucia." Su Mingan said calmly and restarted the live broadcast:
"——You can never be a 'lighthouse' in their eyes."
