Chapter 692: Inhumane Massacre
Patriarch Meng chuckled after hearing what Kong Xiyan said: "Yes, I do have some thoughts in my mind.
But this candidate... is a little off, and I can't make up my mind."
"People, as long as they're still breathing, will always think before they think." Kong Xiyan comforted him, "You only have a year or two left anyway. It's the same whether you decide when you can no longer breathe."
"You comforted me very well. Don't comfort me again in the future." Patriarch Meng shook his head speechlessly: "Can't you learn the way your parents talk?
Either they don't say anything, or they are blunt and full of thorns."
"Then tell me if this is a solution." Kong Xiyan shrugged casually, "Anyway, you've been hearing those blunt words all your life, and you've thought about them hundreds of times in your mind.
Since coaxing yourself is useless, you might as well be ruthless to yourself.
It’s hard for people to know what they want until the very end.”
"What about you? What do you want?" Patriarch Meng looked at Kong Xiyan and said, "You have been a strange child since you were young. I can't understand you."
"That's right, you don't understand." Kong Xiyan smiled and said, "This proves that your mental health is guaranteed."
Which normal person can think the same way as a madman?
"Hiss... This place hurts a little."
"It's normal for it to hurt. Just bear with it. Once you get over it, you can sleep well tonight."
Hearing Kong Xiyan's words, the head of the Meng family moved his retreated body back to his original position, enduring the pain and sighing: "It's enough to be able to sleep well..."
When his illness strikes, he can't sleep at all, and it gets worse in the second half of the night.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had a good night's sleep.
"Don't take things to heart. If there's anything, just tell me." Kong Xiyan consoled him, "Thinking too much is not good for your health."
"How dare I tell you? Who can I tell?" The Meng family head smiled and said, "Ever since Shuyan passed away, I don't even have anyone to confide in."
"You haven't thought about having another one in all these years?"
"Please spare me. If you really add another one, I will even have to be wary of the person next to me, and I won't be able to sleep well." The head of the Meng family smiled and shook his head: "At this point, there are enough people who want me dead. There is no need to add another one."
"Grandpa Meng, wasn't the Meng family's decision to move back to North City a bit too sudden?" Kong Xiyan lowered her eyes slightly. "It seems like it took less than a week, right?"
"Well, that's just my personality. I do whatever I want." Patriarch Meng laughed dryly as he recalled the past. "It really made those younger generations tired of following my lead."
"If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa Meng, your family's relocation shouldn't just be a spur-of-the-moment decision, right?"
The Meng family head's eyes moved slightly, and he answered the question irrelevantly: "Many years..."
"Yes, you should have known it by then." Kong Xiyan's voice was normal. "The young master that the Ye family announced to the public as having passed away is not dead. Instead, he changed his identity and became the Master that many people fear now."
“…” Patriarch Meng did not respond, his body was a little stiff, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Relax. Don't tense your muscles during moxibustion, as it will affect the treatment." Kong Xiyan patted Patriarch Meng's shoulder and said, "You asked me to come here for this matter, so why are you so nervous now?"
"How did you guess that?" The voice of the head of the Meng family became a little deeper.
"I guessed it when Meng Zhihuan came to see me." Kong Xiyan said softly, "If even Zhihuan knows it, there's no way you don't know it.
You should also know that Meng Xichao has a close relationship with the Master, and you are worried that he will follow in your footsteps.
Right?
"Who hasn't taken the wrong path in their youth and done some reckless, foolish things?" Patriarch Meng didn't deny it. "I did follow a Master back then, but not this one."
"The owner of the Eastern Morning Star, the previous Master?"
“Well, he’s a very passionate person, curious about everything, always wanting to change the world, and he has endless energy.
You know, that kind of existence is very attractive.
Not only me, your father is also his friend regardless of age difference."
"My father?" Kong Xiyan was a little surprised about this.
"But later, your father discovered the sacrificial rituals on the Eastern Morning Star and felt that they were too inhumane. After failing to stop them, he cut off contact with them." Patriarch Meng sighed, "Your father was just that kind of person.
Be able to take it and put it down.
He will give his full support to those he approves of.
He can also withdraw from ideas he disagrees with without hesitation."
"Are you aware of the human sacrifices being performed on the Eastern Morning Star?"
"I know. I disagreed in my heart, too." Patriarch Meng shook his head and said, "It's just that I felt that Master had many other shining points. His behavior was just a little inappropriate, but he is still a charming person."
Kong Xiyan looked at Patriarch Meng and said bluntly, "You are the beneficiary, right?"
"I never believed in sacrifices, nor do I think killing people can bring wealth and protection." Patriarch Meng didn't deny it. He just smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's just that those who could board that ship were all at the top of their respective fields at that time.
By joining, you can exchange the most cutting-edge news and create wealth through this information gap.
But there were also many people on that ship who believed in this sacrifice.
Although it's inhumane, even I have to admit that Master's move was correct."
"Yes?"
"He has recruited a vast number of talented individuals, gathering cutting-edge figures from various fields, and in this way, he has made them and the forces behind them work for him."
"There were surprises, weren't there?"
"The two brothers of the Wilson family?" Patriarch Meng said, "I didn't board the ship that time, but I've heard about it."
"What's the difference between the current Master and the previous Master?"
"Even crazier and more extreme." Patriarch Meng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with an unnatural fear lingering on his face: "That tsunami was initiated by the current Master.
That wasn’t just one or two lives, it was a whole ship’s worth of lives.”
It was also because of that incident that the head of the Meng family knew that he must never have anything to do with this organization again.
"Didn't they say that when the tsunami appeared, the people on the ship had almost all been killed by each other? The tsunami was just covering up what happened on the ship and covering up a failed ritual?"
Patriarch Meng shook his head and said, "When the tsunami hit, no one on the ship died. Not a single one died."
"What?" Kong Xiyan's heart skipped a beat.
This means that the Eastern Morning Star tragedy was not a ritual destruction of the bodies, but an inhumane massacre!
