Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 222 Ending
"In my opinion, there are two possible ways for a planet to become a cocoon. The first is what we just talked about, when a civilization reaches its peak, causing people to have unrealistic ideas. The second is the backlash caused by long-term oppression from external forces."

Heya presented the two futures she predicted to Duan Mingyuan one by one.

The Chamber of Commerce's victory will allow the Semites to take root on this planet.

The company’s description of this group is very appropriate - cosmic locusts.

Once they have taken root in civilization, they will make full use of their talent for trade to accumulate a large amount of wealth on the planet, and then use the wealth to exchange for power, until the operation of the entire planet is under the control of the Chamber of Commerce. This has formed a complete assembly line.

"You drove the Cosmic Relations Coordination Department out of this planet, which gave these locusts the opportunity to devour the Blue Planet. In the eyes of the Semitic people, everything in this world can be traded. They will squeeze out all the value of this planet, leaving only a wasteland, until the day comes when this planet is overwhelmed and needs to regulate itself."

As the god of trade believed by the Semites, Heya never seems to consider his believers when speaking. He seems to imply, explicitly or implicitly, that his Shanqi Chamber of Commerce is a scourge and should be eradicated.

"In this way, Wang Xu became a hero. They are preventing this planet from being invaded by locusts."

"They are not heroes. What they need is the Chamber of Commerce's database."

Heya walked to the window of the private room and looked at the VIP guests who were still bidding. The price of Eli's power had been auctioned to 120 years, which had exceeded the natural lifespan of humans. However, there was no sign of the bidding stopping. Under the host's command, the competition had just begun.

"It seems that Eli's idea coincides with yours. Using myself as an auction item is the fastest opportunity to reach the core area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce."

Heya said, "As long as we have this information, Wangxu will be able to secretly control the entire Siyang City and turn it into a base for cultivating life energy. Blue Star will usher in a period of vigorous development. Soon, the existence of life energy and evil spirits will be made public. By then, more people will devote themselves to the research of life energy. It may take decades or even hundreds of years for the people of Blue Star to reach their peak of cognition and understanding of life energy. By then, Wangxu will no longer be a terrorist organization, but an important institution for the research of life energy.

"Then, some people began to follow the old path of other civilizations, trying to touch the essence of life energy. Perhaps many people will become your believers. Of course, they may also want to imprison you and dissect you to explore the inner connection between the Transcendent and the Cocoon."

But no matter which one it is, it will not be a happy ending for mankind.

Going to destruction due to being exploited, or falling to the bottom when civilization reaches its peak.

This choice was handed over to Duan Mingyuan.

Heya was looking forward to Duan Mingyuan's answer.

"I'm a little curious about this person, Ellie."

Duan Mingyuan suddenly spoke.

Compared to Coyote Twelve's detailed introduction, Heya's introduction to Ellie was too general, as if he was really just an insignificant little character who would fail without help.

"Especially, his abilities."

Since he is a native of Blue Star and has taken drugs developed by the company, he should have already mastered life energy to perfection, which also means that his abilities are definitely not common stuff.

This can be seen from the frenzy of bidders.

However, when introducing Ellie, Heya did not mention his abilities at all.

"I once heard of a theory that people's behavior in dreams is controlled by their subconscious mind. In places like underground exchanges, virtuality and reality are the most difficult to distinguish."

Duan Mingyuan raised his right hand and gently drew it in the air, and ripples like water waves appeared in front of him. "Mind dissolution, it's really as powerful as the ability of a villain boss."

"When did you find out?"

"From the beginning."

Duan Mingyuan exerted a little force, and the ripples on his fingertips quickly spread. In the blink of an eye, cracks appeared all over the magnificent compartment, and the host's inflammatory guidance and the fierce bidding of the VIP guests were sucked into the cracks. Generally speaking, people will only realize that they are dreaming when they find obvious flaws in their dreams.

Duan Mingyuan felt that for most people, when you find that the space you are in suddenly has cracks and then begins to collapse and disintegrate, you will inevitably doubt the authenticity of this scene.

The host and the emotional VIP guest fell silent at the same time.

"I guessed you had something to say to me, so I cooperated with your actions. The atmosphere of this academic discussion is very good, and the content of the discussion has benefited me a lot."

"what a pity."

Heya shrugged helplessly, "It seems that all the abilities in this world cannot be hidden from your eyes."

"But I didn't expect that the God of Trade believed in by the Chamber of Commerce would actually cooperate with Wangxu and deal with his own believers."

If it weren't for Heya's secret help, Ellie would probably have found it difficult to sneak into the sixth floor smoothly, and even use his ability under the nose of Coyote Twelve.

The energy to put a Nagaeda guard into a deep sleep is definitely not something a Forgotten Hollow member can possess.

"The God of Trade only cooperates with interests, and our deal is still valid."

Before the whole world fell apart, Heya mentioned the agreement reached by both parties again, "Eisenburg Adler, if you can get him out of prison, I will provide you with a reward that will definitely satisfy you."

Her purpose had been achieved.

Make an agreement, even if it's just verbal.

As for what Ellie and Wangxu hoped to achieve through her...

She had tried her best, but this was not a shining star after all, and her strength could not be fully reflected in it.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the opponent for being a transcendent one.

The result will be the same no matter who comes.

"As for my choice."

Perhaps Ellie and Wangxu wanted to create an atmosphere of choosing the lesser of two evils, but Duan Mingyuan had made the decision at the very beginning.

When the crack completely swallowed up the entire world, Duan Mingyuan sat up straight.

They were in the VIP compartment. Zheng Liu and Xing were still lying on the table, looking like they were sleeping soundly.

He stood up and smashed the alarm at the door of the private room. In an instant, the shrill sound of the alarm rang throughout the entire underground exchange.

Coyote 12, charges: intentional injury, assault, attempted murder, assisting in opening a casino…

Avery, charged with terrorist acts, theft, murder...

Bringing the criminals to justice is the ultimate outcome of this show.
