You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 58 Necessary Sacrifice (Please recommend! Please read!)

"You know, I didn't mess with the Hand.

"You want to kill me, there must be a reason, right?"

Li Jikun looked up at the executioner, who was high above him. Above the dome, a white halo shone around the round moon. In his misplaced vision, the halo and the moon seemed to be crowning the latter with the crown of a judge.

Li Jikun came from a low-income family and his parents were both poor.

After suffering untold hardships, they quickly awakened their abilities and eventually became part of the same class as their oppressors.

He soon discovered that he was a genius, or a chosen one.

It only took him five years to improve his superpower rating from D to A.

Afterwards, among the Federation's population of hundreds of millions and millions of people with super powers, he became one of the top four.

He became the supreme ruler, and the fate of the vast majority of people in the federation depended on his decision.

People crowned him with a high crown and placed him on the highest throne.

Call him the Guardian of the Federation, the Pioneer of Humanity.

He bravely rode the waves of monsters and braved the wind and waves in the fog of the unknown.

He felt that he deserved people's praise, flowers and commendations.

But now, he felt death above him, beneath the black alloy mask.

Terror grew in his heart and fear spread around him.

Li Jikun suddenly thought of something and pointed at the mutant data on both sides of the road when he came here and shouted:
“If you’re just doing it for them, there’s no need!
"They are just necessary sacrifices on the road of exploration.

"You don't understand my greatness! I am exploring the limits of individual humans and the future of all humanity!
"I am expanding the space for human existence and fighting against the unknown!
“If I succeed, I will be the leader of all mankind!
"Even Siwon gave me a glimmer of hope, so you shouldn't stop me!"

He roared and was angry.

With him, mankind may be able to break free from the cycle of civilization and escape the shackles of thousands of years!
With him, humans may be able to break through the limits of the physical body and evolve into a higher level of life!

With him around, all S-class monsters might not have to stay at the edge of the fog, and human civilization wouldn't have to spend huge manpower and material resources to stop the invasion of monsters and fog.

As he thought about it, he felt a little aggrieved.

He was once a high-ranking S-class and the supreme ruler of the Federation, but now he was trying his best to defend himself in exchange for a chance of survival.

But soon, the executioner above interrupted his thoughts, his emotions, and his speech.

"Why?"

The executioner's tone was calm and firm, but it left Li Jikun a little confused.

"Why do you think ordinary people are just consumables? They are necessary sacrifices!
"You want to become the leader of all mankind, and you need innocent people to lay the foundation with their flesh and blood?!

"Have you asked them? Are they willing?"

"You, why can't you be a consumable!"

The executioner's words made Li Jikun fall into deep thought and confusion.

He never thought about the experimental subjects' thoughts.

Consumables are consumables, and the grassroots should have grassroots awareness!
Is there anything wrong with sacrificing some of the natural population growth every year for the sake of his grand narrative?

He doesn't understand!
"Necessary sacrifices can only be proposed by the victims themselves." The executioner said slowly, "If you use justice as a threat, it is not a necessary sacrifice, but moral kidnapping.

"All those who think that necessary sacrifices should exist, only because the sacrifices will not fall on them!
"Just like you, you're used to being high and mighty, so how could you possibly put yourself in the shoes of an experimenter, a humble person like that?

"I have a friend who once told me that the world is using superpowers to regenerate itself.

“When rulers oppress people too much, the suffering people will awaken more people with superpowers, and those with superpowers will overthrow the rulers, thus achieving a new generation.

"But in reality, that's not the case. Those with superpowers who awaken amidst suffering will directly become rulers, and they will oppress the common people even more than the original rulers did. "Just like you, who came from the bottom of society and then made the necessary sacrifices after rising to the top."

Li Jikun was stunned. If the mutants' demise only defeated him at the level of strength.

The executioner's words were intended to destroy his faith in Taoism.

When did he start his first experiment?
He still remembered the night when the monster's DNA fragment was successfully integrated into his DNA sequence. He was ecstatic and resisted the urge to tell others.

At that moment, he felt that he was standing at the pinnacle of humanity and had opened a door to the future.

In order to implement his concepts and ideas, he began to find more people to experiment with.

Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, in his opinion, this is a great honor that he bestows on the experimental subject!

In the end, even though the experiment was exposed, it caused Siyuan's dissatisfaction.

But when Siwon killed him, he still affirmed his idea in some ways. He admitted that if he left it alone, he might really be able to figure out something.

Therefore, when he completely killed himself, Siwon still left a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, how could he be rescued?
From then on, he became more certain that he could lead mankind into a great era.

But, all the assumptions, all the macro narratives, all the bright futures.

All were shattered at this moment.

Because he could not refute the executioner's words, he did come from the bottom, and after coming up, he also asked for more from the bottom!
Over a hundred years of struggle;
Ninety years of hard work;
Once you place your land on death, you will be reborn;
Add to that twenty years of recovery and exploration;
Is it wrong at its root?

He saw the executioner make a gesture, and someone in the black fog was approaching him. But at this moment, his mind was in turmoil, he was lost in thought, caught in a cycle of self-dialectics and self-denial, and it was difficult for him to notice.

"Now—" the executioner spoke, "Please, for the stability of Star City, complete the 'necessary sacrifice'."

After saying this, Li Jikun realized something was wrong.

Two palms as big as palm-leaf fans struck his head from both sides behind him!

There was a metallic luster on the huge palm.

The black fog under his feet bound his hands and feet; the huge mental power fixed his whole body; the strong high-pressure water flow rushed from all around him, squeezing him so hard that he could not move.

In just a moment, the huge palms clapped together!

Li Jikun's head was like a deflated persimmon, with a high bulge in the middle. Finally, the top of his head shattered like an exploding watermelon, scattering red, white, solids, and juices everywhere.

A former S-class, a pioneer of humanity, and a guardian of the Federation.

Finally died.

It was just a matter of time before his eyes, which were rolling in the air, revealed any trace of thought.

At the moment of his death, was he still thinking about when he went from being exploited to being an exploiter?

Chi Ping didn't know, but he found that the term "upright and incorruptible" that he had not used for a long time was flashing ineffectively.

The weapon of verbal persuasion was used subconsciously.

The matter finally came to an end. The next step was to take Li Jikun's original body away - he had already thought about it and gave it to Wu Qian for research. Maybe he could figure out something from it.

Just as he was thinking this, Ikehira greeted the helpers present and was about to say goodbye.

Then I heard the roar of helicopter propellers in the distance, the spotlights piercing the darkness, and the faint sound of alarms.

For some unknown reason, a number of official forces including the Star City Superpower Bureau surrounded us!
