Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Helping Each Other

When Lu Siya saw the three-tailed Illusion Wolf standing together with Lin Chuan, she screamed hysterically, and rings of profound and complicated spirit tattoos appeared around her eyes. Spirit flames also gushed out of her temples.

Her mental power reached its maximum, and she summoned the stone snake again to bite the three-tailed Illusion Wolf.

But the three-tailed Illusion Wolf moved with the agility of a ghost. It turned into a white ray of light and tapped the stone snake’s head to jump in front of Lu Siya.

Blood spilled out of Lu Siya’s chest, and she was thrown away like a kite with its string snapped.

Once Lu Siya lost control of the stone snake, it crumpled and spilled all over the ground like a basket of apples thrown on the floor. It no longer had the strength to jump around.

Meng Chao’s teeth dug into his lip.

He wanted to go forward and save her, but it was too late.

Besides, he was a one-star superhuman, and Qin Hu was just at the peak of Earth Realm.

Lin Chuan, however, was at Heaven Realm. At that moment, even though the White Spirit had yet to reach the level of a Supernatural Entity and turn into the nine-tailed Illusion Wolf, it was still a Hell Beast.

If they fought against it head-on, they would have no chance to win.

“Whitey, stop,” Lin Chuan said with a dark expression. “We can’t kill her. She’s a mine explorer and a Spirit Sensor. We still need her to locate the Red Radiance Jade mine.”

The White Spirit seemed to understand his words. It nodded and stepped back.

Lu Siya refused to accept this gesture of mercy. She leaned against the wall and glared at Lin Chuan. “You’re calling it Whitey?! You actually became friends with a monster?! You’re mad, Lin Chuan! You’ve lost your mind!”

“Even if it’s a monster, it’s fine. At least Whitey has never humiliated me and never tried to kill me,” Lin Chuan said calmly. “Just now, Shen Yulong wanted to trample on my dignity and cut me to shreds. Tell me, should I give up on becoming friends with Whitey and instead become friends with a ‘human’ like Shen Yulong?

“Also, Siya, stop pretending to be righteous. You’re a woman who will do whatever it takes to reach your goal. You don’t care about how many of your kind you sacrifice to obtain the right to mine the Red Radiance Jade first, right? The term ‘humans’ has never been more important than ‘personal interests’ to you.

“I know that Whitey is a monster, but look at the corpses around us. How many of them were killed by Whitey? Only Shen Yulong. The other humans killed each other. So, to those who died, just who is more dangerous? Monsters or humans?”

Lu Siya looked around. Clearly, she had given up on communicating with Lin Chuan and was thinking about how she could launch a desperate counterattack.

While she regulated her breathing, she recovered her spirit energy in secret. Meanwhile, she changed the topic to stall for time. “It’s name is Whitey… Is it the White Spirit you have been chasing all this while? Didn’t you say that you won’t stop hunting it until one of you dies? So, were you terrified by it and decided to become its slave?”

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face, and he said, “Siya, stop wasting your breath. We won’t let you sow discord between us. Whitey and I have never had any hate between us. On the contrary, we’re helping each other and taking only what we need from this relationship. Do you want to hear our story?”

Lu Siya snorted coldly. “Do I have the right to say no?”

Lin Chuan gently caressed the White Spirit’s head.

It then ran away and started examining each corpse.

“Do you remember the first mission I carried out officially? I was to escort your cousin, Lu Silian, to train in the wild. At that time, I ran into Whitey.” Lin Chuan sank into his memories. Anger, pain, and great pleasure rose in his eyes.

“Of course I remember it well. You were attacked by a White Spirit, and aside from you, everyone died,” Lu Siya said. “You then swore that you will take revenge for Lu Silian, and from then on, you became the lonely avenger—Weeping Reaper!”

“Take revenge? For Lu Silian? Hahaha! Why should I take revenge for that wench? I killed Lu Silian with my own hands. I killed her with Whitey’s help! Hahaha!” Lin Chuan laughed so hard that tears spilled out of his eyes.

Lu Siya was shocked. “What?!”

“Aside from you, no one else in the Lu family has ever treated me as their equal. All of you saw me as your loyal dog,” Lin Chuan gritted his teeth. “It’s especially so for Lu Silian. Her mouth was even worse than Shen Yulong’s.

“She often said that without the Lu family, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I was branded by the Lu family a long time ago, and I am to serve her exactly like how I serve you. She also made even worse demands… I can’t say them, but I will never forget them!”

Lu Siya’s voice quivered. “Ah… Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would have helped you execute justice!”

“Forget it,” Lin Chuan said coldly. “You would definitely side with me when you face a competitor like Shen Yulong, but how could you possibly help me when you face the Lu family?

“At that time, your father was not satisfied with just becoming the general supervisor of the mining company and wanted to get an even higher position in Sky Pillar Corporation. He needed the support from Lu Silian’s father, which is why he sent me to Lu Silian’s team to kiss her feet.

“In a sense, I’m a present he gave out. Are the feelings of a present important? Would you break ties with your cousin and uncle for a present?”

Lu Siya fell silent.

“But that’s fine. I could tolerate it. In any case, I ran into similar events an unknown number of times ever since I stepped into the upper class society. I’ve heard those humiliating words countless times, and I tolerated them unless you coincidentally heard it as well,” Lin Chuan said expressionlessly.

“All the time I was in her squad, I carried out the duties of a loyal dog and even satisfied those creepy demands from Lu Silian. I tolerated all the humiliation until I hunted down a Blue Dragon Lizard in the wild and found an incredibly rare crystal that looked like a blue agate in its stomach.

“That was the first time I obtained such a valuable material. It could help me improve further.

“But Lu Silian insisted that she was the one who brought me out, and it was only with her commands and support that I obtained the blue agate-like crystal. So, it was her reward, and she insisted on snatching it from my hands.

“But do you know what made me the angriest?

“If Lu Silian had really needed the blue agate-like crystal or if she only had this one chance to obtain it, I would have let it slide.

“But she didn’t lack such treasures at all. The allowance her father gave her every month was enough for her to buy an even better blue agate-like crystal. She didn’t snatch the crystal away because she wanted to cultivate. It was because it was fun.

“She told me that herself.

“She said that she was only joking with me and testing my loyalty to the Lu family. If I gave it to her on my palms without any complaints, she would have given me two even better crystals if she felt good, because she didn’t care about this blue agate-like crystal, since it was of normal quality.

“But if I didn’t want to give it to her, it would show that I’m not loyal to the Lu family and she would snatch it away. Then, she would look for you and your father to tell them what happened so that you can punish me, the traitor.

“I don’t know what came over me at that time, but when I heard those things, my mind went blank. Thunder roared in my ears, and all the wrongs I suffered over the years just exploded. That’s why I fought against Lu Silian.

“I was naturally not her opponent, and she beat me up badly.

“But I did leave behind a really small wound on her face.

“When the people in the squad saw that the situation had turned back, they came forward to persuade us to stop. They forced us apart. They took the blue agate-like crystal from me and stuffed it into Lu Silian’s pocket.

“Things would have gone by just like that. After all, if you’re in the wild for a long period of time, your mind gets tense, and it’s not something big even when a conflict arises.

“‘My wounds are much worse than hers, and she got the blue agate-like crysta as well. What else can she want?’ At that time, I was that naive.

“We continued with the mission. On the surface, it looked like her anger had subsided after our team members’ persuasion, and she ignored me. I got to enjoy the peace and quiet.

“A few days later, while we were lying in wait on a cliff to observe two packs of monsters tearing at each other for territory, she ordered me to crawl to the front to look properly.

“I thought that she was angry and wanted to make me suffer a little, so I gritted my teeth and obeyed her.

“But when I reached the edge of the cliff, she pushed me from the back!”

Lu Siya gasped.

Meng Chao and Qin Hu gritted their teeth as well while they hid at the edge of the wall. They nearly cried out.

“The last thing I saw when I fell off the cliff was that wench’s resentful and stupid face.” Lin Chuan giggled in a maniacal manner. “She thought that even if I didn’t die from the fall, I would definitely be torn to shreds by the packs of monsters under the cliff and trampled to pieces.

“Against her expectations, heaven often opens a way for the desperate. There were a few plants that grew horizontally on the cliff, and they hit a cave that went downwards.

“My instincts to survive kicked up, and I grabbed those plants without even knowing what they were. I rolled down the slope into the cave until I reached the deepest part.

“I met Whitey over there. She was in the same shape as I was at that time. She was also gravely wounded and was like a homeless dog at the last of its breath.

“The Illusion Wolf pack she belonged to was killed by the Golden Mastiff pack they were enemies with. All the Illusion Wolves, including her parents, were killed and eaten. She was the only one left, and she had to face the pursuit of two Golden Mastiffs.

“When I fell into the cave, the Golden Mastiffs were about to attack her. They were shocked by my presence and turned around to target me.

“I was forced to work together with Whitey. She created illusions while I executed the ultimate moves of superhumans. After a bloody fight, we finally killed the two Golden Mastiffs.

“We fell into a puddle of blood, exhausted, and without any strength to kill each other. But we stared at each other, and gradually, our heartbeats and breathing reached the same frequency.

“In the end, Whitey was the first to recover.

“But she didn’t kill me. Perhaps it was because the flesh and blood from the two Golden Mastiffs was already enough for her or perhaps it’s because the creatures that killed her pack and ate her parents were not humans, but monsters.

“Soon, I regained my strength, but I had no interest in attacking Whitey We ate the flesh and blood from a Golden Mastiff, and while we ate, we observed each other. As we did, I suddenly felt something really amazing in my heart.

“The propaganda spread by the Survival Committee states that monsters are the only obstacle humanity faces in our colonization of the Other World. If we destroy monsters, a beautiful, new world will descend upon us. Hence, humans must fight to the death against monsters.

“However, the ones who wanted to kill me weren’t monsters, but my fellow humans. And the ones who wanted to kill Whitey weren’t humans, but her fellow monsters.

“In that instant, light shone in my mind, and I finally had an answer to the question I could never answer.

“I was never the same type of living being as the rich people who stand supreme, like Shen Yulong, Lu Silian, and even you, Lu Siya. I had no right to become the same type of person as you are.

“Whitey and I are the same type of people. At the very least, both of us have nothing!

“Monster War? Hah! Even if I help all of you superior, rich people kill all the monsters, what sort of benefits will I gain? Most of the pie will be eaten by you, while I’ll have to crouch down by your feet and wait for some scraps with wide eyes.

“Similarly, even if Whitey helps the Apocalyptic Monsters kill all the humans, it will not be beneficial for a low-grade superbeast like her. She won’t be able to avoid the tragic fate of being slaughtered and eaten by high-grade superbeasts!

“So Whitey and I don’t care about this Monster War at all. Even if we’re fighting, we fight for ourselves and for the ones who are truly the same kind of beings as us!”

A look of understanding appeared on Lin Chuan’s face.

There were flames around him, which was the sign of a person going through spirit energy deviation.

The White Spirit had finished examining all corpses and returned to Lin Chuan’s side. It lowered its head to nuzzle his thigh. Its tongue even rolled out and licked his open wound. There was a hurt look on the creature’s face.

“I stayed with Whitey for three days and three nights in the cave. We ate the two Golden Mastiffs and gained a deep understanding of being kindred. Then, we supported each other and walked out of the dark cave.”

Lin Chuan hugged the White Spirit. His expression turned incredibly gentle, and he said with a smile, “Perhaps God has eyes, because even He wants to tell me that my understanding is correct. Lo and behold, we ran into Lu Silian and her group again.

“But they were not in a good condition.

“Soon after she pushed me off the cliff, they ran into a Hell Beast called Six-armed Demonic Snake. They suffered devastating losses and were scattered.

“Most of the people were severely wounded, including Lu Silian. The Six-armed Demonic Snake chased after them so they had to hide in the dark and hold their breaths in a hope to avoid the disaster.

“Guess what I did as I watched all this transpire from high above?”

Lin Chuan winked at Lu Siya.

That was the most monstrous expression Meng Chao had ever seen.

Lu Siya’s ambitions turned into cold sweat. She asked in a quivering voice, “W-What did you do?”

“An eye for an eye. She pushed me off the cliff, so Whitey and I pushed a huge rock that weighed hundreds of kilograms off to where she hid. It’s very fair, isn’t it?”

Lin Chuan shrugged and said, “Oh, I was wrong. I didn’t actually kill her with my own hands. A rock that weighs hundreds of kilograms cannot kill a superhuman. She was torn to pieces by that Six-armed Demonic Snake. So, this crime of murder is still considered to be committed by an evil monster, isn’t it? Hehehehe! Hahahaha!”
