Chapter 276: Chapter 371: The Harsh Reality of Acne_1
"If you really think that way, then don't get involved with the Nightfall Organization, they are a bunch of crazed murderers with absolutely no moral bottom line!" Mu Huanqing said. "I've seen them recklessly slaughtering humanity's pillars of talent when I was just in my teens!"
Fang Ren was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Mu Huanqing to have such an insight into the Nightfall Organization, and he asked, "The people they killed were all from Tianjiang's scientific research staff, right?"
Mu Huanqing looked at him with a calm expression and asked, "What explanation did Jiang Ling give you to make you think that the Nightfall Organization is in the right?"
When Fang Ren was questioned like this, he knew he had guessed correctly before, and he moved on to the next topic. "Have you ever heard of the Indra Sky organization?"
"I heard of it a long time ago, just a faint impression. It seemed like a small research group in Tianjiang," Mu Huanqing said.
"It's not just any small research group, it's too big," Fang Ren said. "You should know about that terrorist attack in Linglong Bay; it was a fight between the Nightfall Organization and Indra Sky, and I was involved in it. But the course of events was nothing like what the internet says, the facts have been completely inverted by the Central Area."
"You were involved too?" Mu Huanqing showed a distressed expression. "You know I worry about your safety! And yet you still go to such places!"
Fang Ren quickly touched her head and said, "I know you're worried about me, that's why I never dare to talk about these things when I meet you. But now I want to clear up everything with you, please keep listening, okay?"
Mu Huanqing looked at him with his gentle smile, touching her head, and her heart yearned even more for this moment to last forever, not wishing anyone to break this warm atmosphere.
"You speak, I'm listening."
Mu Huanqing reached out and touched the tiny face of the baby in her arms, the child was quiet and cute, not crying anymore, and their life to come should be safe and happy. She didn't want to ask about anything else.
"You're often on the battlefield, so you must know that many soldiers who are seriously injured and retire from the battlefield die shortly after due to their bodies not being able to bear the burden," Fang Ren said. "Do you think this is normal?"
Mu Huanqing didn't understand why he would bring this up. On the Void battlefield, indeed many soldiers permanently left the military due to serious injuries, with internal traumas often being devastating and incurable, leading to their death not long after.
What's abnormal about that?"
"Common Void beasts don't carry poison or curse-like abilities at all. Even if they severely injure Cultivators, given the robust physique of Cultivators and the medical technology of the special medical district, they shouldn't die," Fang Ren said.
Mu Huanqing shook her head, "The injuries they suffer on the battlefield are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. When they leave the battlefield, many soldiers are barely hanging on to life. It's hopeless."
Hearing this, Fang Ren nodded and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen the graveyard for these dead soldiers?"
"Yes, on Yun Cliff's mountain, that's where the graves of soldiers who died in battle are," Mu Huanqing became increasingly puzzled about what Fang Ren wanted to say, but she kept following his lead in the conversation.
"What if I told you that they didn't die because of the Void beasts, would you believe me?" Fang Ren said.
Mu Huanqing frowned, "Is this another thing Jiang Ling told you?"
Fang Ren shook his head, "It's not just what she told me, but also what I've seen with my own eyes. The Indra Sky organization is not as you know it. It's a huge organization under Bai Chaojin's command, with branches in many cities, and one of its major branches is in Linglong Bay.
The reason I asked you about the soldiers earlier is that I saw a lot of dead soldiers still alive in Linglong Bay; they were turned into inhuman, ghost-like creatures by Indra Sky.
Central Area's official version of the events is completely the opposite, claiming that all the seriously injured warriors who left the battlefield are dead when in fact, they were captured by Indra Sky to be experimented on!"
Fang Ren's continuous stream of words left Mu Huanqing in a daze. Although his speech wasn't too long or difficult to understand, the information contained within was overwhelming for her to accept at the moment.
"Are you sure all this is what you saw with your own eyes?" Mu Huanqing asked, furrowing her brows.
Fang Ren said, "I've been to their laboratory personally, where many soldiers from the battlefield were cryogenically frozen in test tubes. After the battle of Linglong Bay, these soldiers were all rescued by the Nightfall Organization, but Central Area feared that these rescued soldiers might expose the truth one day.
They claimed that the human-shaped monster corpses in Linglong Bay were all experimental subjects created by the Nightfall Organization, even reviving dead soldiers from somewhere... blatant inversion of black and white."
Mu Huanqing recalled the news she saw back then about Linglong Bay; there was a photo with corpses of humanoid monsters. The news explained that this was the work of the Nightfall Organization, leaving her very angry at the time. But now, with Fang Ren's explanation, she suddenly felt bewildered.
"Are you saying that when I saw the Nightfall Organization committing senseless slaughter in my teens, what they actually killed were research scientists from within the Indra Sky organization?" Mu Huanqing muttered in shock.
"Yes, the Nightfall Organization has been fighting against Indra Sky for many years now, but the strength of the Leader of Nightfall, Jiang Ling, has always been at a mid-level in the Xuanyang Realm, meaning she's always been suppressed," Fang Ren shifted the angle of the conversation and continued, "Have you ever noticed something strange?
Why is it that even though the Nightfall Organization is universally recognized as an evil organization, every time they appear, their power seems to have grown even more substantial than before?"
Isn't it because the Nightfall seduced people's hearts?" Mu Huanqing asked.
Fang Ren said, "Seducing people's hearts is not that simple. The soldiers rescued from Indra Sky all chose to join the Nightfall because without the Nightfall, they had nowhere else to go. If they dared to return home, Indra Sky would surely eliminate their entire families."
"..."
Mu Huanqing, listening to these words, fell into silence. The glaring wretchedness of reality was hard for her to accept. She had thought Jiang Ling's experiences were dark enough, but now there was an Indra Sky, even more appallingly inhumane.
Seeing her unable to accept the reality for a while, Fang Ren hugged her and said, "Qing'er, if there's time, I'll take you to meet the soldiers who were rescued, and then to see Indra Sky's research base. Then you'll understand everything."
