Chapter 13 - Never Requires Signs

Chapter 13 – Apocalypse … Never Requires Signs“This kind of thing … should not have been revealed to the young ones!” Lin Jiankong sighed.

“Ever since the entire world decided to coexist peacefully with the Puppeteers twenty-three years ago, have the Puppeteers really stopped consuming human brains?” Ling Tian sneered, “Telling her at least will make her a little more vigilant!”

“Indeed, Puppeteers have not completely stopped eating human brains,” Lin Jiankong sighed, “but it’s only a minority. Most of the Puppeteers do live in harmony with humans.”

Ling Tian continued to sneer, “Do you think they can keep up this act? They’re just holding back because of the Alliance’s power, and they don’t dare act openly. In the beginning, they used to play the pity card to gain sympathy and love from the entire human race to deal with the Tianxu Group,” Ling Tian said. “Now, they can continue pretending to live peacefully and develop in secret until they can confront the Alliance openly.”

He knew the Puppeteers very well. Puppeteers had no emotions, absolutely none. Everything they did now was just a façade. The naive humans were just deceiving themselves. In the near future, they would reveal their sharp fangs. One of the most representative of them was the original protagonist, Ye Tian’s wife, Luo Xue!

“You even know about Tianxu Group; it seems you have quite a background,” Lin Jiankong stared at Ling Tian. This young man, with that kind of look in his eyes, sent a shiver down his spine, even he could feel it. And he seemed to know everything.

“Do you think … Tianxu Group is right, and the Alliance is wrong?” Lin Jiankong asked.

“What do you think?” Ling Tian replied.

Lin Jiankong frowned and said, “Honestly … I’m more inclined towards the Tianxu Group because my family members are all humans, and my loved ones are not Puppeteers. I don’t care if they live or die.”

That was his genuine opinion at the time. Of course, he hadn’t made this opinion public. After all, he was afraid it would affect the unity between humans and Puppeteers.

Ling Tian just gave a faint smile. He didn’t think Lin Jiankong was lying because Lin Jiankong was indeed a human. Ling Tian’s Void Eyes could clearly see that.

“People who share your views are not uncommon these days,” Ling Tian coldly remarked. “Over the years, no matter how much the Alliance tries to block the information, cases of Puppeteers consuming humans cannot be hidden anymore. More and more people are beginning to understand that they can’t coexist peacefully with Puppeteers. Isn’t this … a result of their own making?”

Lin Jiankong took a deep breath. With his position, he certainly knew more. Indeed, there were many cases of Puppeteers consuming humans that had been sealed and not made public. If revealed, it might lead to some panic.

“You don’t make it public because you’re afraid of causing panic. However, this also conveniently aligns with the Puppeteers’ desires. They can cultivate the kind of food they want in secret without public exposure,” Ling Tian continued to sneer.

“But … you can’t make a blanket statement,” Lin Jiankong added, “even dogs kept at home sometimes bite people. Most Puppeteers are indeed living in harmony with humans.”

Indeed, in the past twenty years, most Puppeteers did coexist peacefully with humans, and that was a fact. Ling Tian didn’t comment and agreed that, for now, it seemed to be the case. But how long could this coexistence last?

“When the second factor arrives, and human strength is compromised once again, you will naturally understand … whether they are truly living peacefully or not,” Ling Tian said in a cold voice. “By that time … it will be a new cataclysm for humanity.”

Hearing this, Lin Jiankong looked at Ling Tian with a frown, “You also believe in Tianxu Group’s baseless theory of an impending endless apocalypse? Isn’t that a theory without any evidence?”

“Not all theories require evidence,” Ling Tian said coldly. “In due time … everything will become clear.”

“At present, it’s true that the world is thriving,” Lin Jiankong said, “and on a macro level, the world is increasingly balanced and harmonious under the leadership of the Alliance. There doesn’t seem to be any sign of impending disaster.”

From the current perspective, the world was indeed flourishing. Although there were still cases of Puppeteers consuming humans, it couldn’t be generalized. Just like in times of peace, there were still criminals, which was unavoidable. On a macro level, the world was indeed developing peacefully. It didn’t at all seem like the apocalypse would be coming.

Ling Tian just sneered and said nothing more. Some things would become clear when the time came. The arrival of apocalypse … never required signs.

Of course, he was no longer concerned. Even if the entire world turned into a living hell, he didn’t care. It didn’t matter if everyone died. It was their own choice.

He only needed to survive, find the inherited Espers who were once his capable subordinates, and survive the Apocalypse.

“What are you guys talking about?” Lin Yaoyao finally found the opportunity to chime in. What was this talk of apocalypse and disaster? Why couldn’t she understand it?
