In the newly cleared office area, everyone sat together.

Those clusters of souls shrouded in black mist were blocked in the other seven areas. Apart from the office where they were, the surroundings were pitch black and filled with the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

It was only because it was blocked by the power of the crowd that it did not come in. If it were unprotected, the sound of such extreme wailing could rupture the eardrums of a normal person instantly.

These souls seem to be constantly reminding everyone: This is the good thing you've done. Look at what you've done, killing so many of us. This is the evidence of your crimes, the evil you can never erase.

But for Ron and the others, they had no other choice but to accept it all, since they were the ones who created it.

By this time, they were feeling genuinely exhausted and numb.

Ron sighed and said, "Everyone, calm down. We still have a lot of work to do. These souls need to be sorted out. We need to pick out all the souls that match the Golden Can Company employees, and then seal the rest of the souls together. I will take the sealed souls to find the Goat-Man Demon and find a way to lure him to the place we have set up. We need a perfect reason for this."

"There is only one chance. If we miss it, humanity will be doomed. Things like today will happen all over the world, and the casualties will be more than ten times that of today."

"So what kind of reason should we come up with?"

This is a real headache for everyone.

The goat-man devil wouldn't care about the trivial things that normal people do.

Judging from the way the other party acted, the goat-man demon was definitely in some trouble. If it were just a matter concerning ordinary people, it wouldn't pay any attention to it. It could easily resolve the issue by forcing them to take action.

To attract the attention of the Goat-Man Demon, one must possess at least Satan-level power, and be capable of posing a threat that compels the Demon to appear immediately and resolve the issue.

Only under these circumstances will its true form appear.

What kind of reason should we come up with?

The group looked at each other, their faces showing worry; this was truly a difficult situation for them.

"I wonder if that middle-aged man is dead or not? To be honest, I really hope he can escape and survive."

"The previous bombing, the curse of the goat-man demon should have killed him!"

"Not necessarily. He's Lucifer's darling now. Who knows what kind of power Lucifer will give him?" Kevin retorted from the side.

In reality, what is called a rebuttal is merely Kevin's own expectation.

“That guy’s existence might be a perfect excuse. As for Satan, I don’t know what he’s planning right now. I don’t think it’s that simple. He probably won’t give up,” Anita said.

“Sigh, this is such a difficult decision.” Quake rubbed his head, his tone somewhat desperate. “Mr. Ron, do you think God really exists? Why don’t we pray to God? Maybe he can give us some advice and save the world.”

Ron shook his head slightly, pointed expressionlessly at the clusters of black, constantly drifting souls outside the office, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you think these souls, numbering in the tens of millions, prayed to God before they died?"

"However, they are now dead and trapped inside this devilish company, about to become that guy's sacrifice. If God really exists, perhaps we would be punished immediately."

He continued, "Quick, have you ever watched Animal World?" "Of course I have," Quirk nodded. "That show films the killing and survival among African animals, the law of the jungle, hunting, and escaping. It attracts a huge audience; it's a global program."

Ron continued, "Have you ever seen ants fighting?"

"Of course I've seen that before."

Ron's voice was even hoarser: "So how many people do you think would show an excited smile when they see these things?"

"They're like spectators, watching the animals kill each other, watching the ants tear each other apart until they die. Some people will cheer for one side. You say humans clearly have the ability to stop all this, so why don't they stop it?"

Quirk instinctively replied, "Of course, it's to maintain the stability of the natural environment."

"Nature is like this. Over the years, if we forcibly interfere with those animals, the loss of their natural predators will lead to the destruction of the ecological environment. Moreover, with the development of the times, some species are destined to be eliminated by nature. Even if we forcibly prolong their lives, we cannot resist the selection of time."

"Humans should not interfere too much with nature; this is our principle. Every animal has its own destiny."

“Yes.” Ron nodded, forcing out a sentence, “Even if God really exists, what if God thinks the same way?”

"Aren't we humans just animals?"

Quake was stunned when he heard this.

Yes, we humans watch animal fights as entertainment, and we even laugh at them.

We also know that we shouldn't interfere with nature. If we see cattle being gutted by hyenas while they are still alive, we might say a few words about how cruel it is, but we would never go to Africa to interfere.

Things that could have been easily stopped, we chose to stand idly by in order to protect the natural order.

If all of this is ultimately the case in God's eyes, then humanity is nothing more than an animal.

"It's like a monkey facing an ant; the monkey has a complete advantage in intelligence. But to humans, monkeys and ants are just animals, and humans don't interfere with their natural survival."

Upon hearing this, Jeff instinctively remarked, "If that's the case, then perhaps those so-called angels and demons are, in God's eyes, the same species as Him, while we humans are just like monkeys, merely animals, or even less than monkeys."

"At least the difference between us and monkeys is very small. We are about the same strength. At most, we are smarter than them. But the difference between us and God and those devils is not just strength. There is a difference in life form, which even transcends life and death."

"Doesn't this mean that the gap between humans and them is greater than the gap between humans and ants!"

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Although Jeff was usually a bit unserious, he was speechless when it came to these words.

The logic is actually quite simple: when a group of ants invites humans to help fight another group of ants, humans, standing in a superior position, might think that this is unfair to the other group of ants.

Moreover, the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—is a natural law. (End of Chapter)
