Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 211 We were all wrong!
Bai Yuetian and Bai Yuekui entered the court council hall.

Today was a solemn day. Bai Yuetian put away her usual smile and silently followed behind Bai Yuekui, only nodding to Mark when they passed by.

The two arrived at the bottom of the steps.

Morgan, leaning on his cane, walked down step by step.

"I heard you're going on a long journey," Bai Yuekui said slowly.

Morgan looked at Bai Yuekui.

A mixture of hatred and guilt welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Many years ago, when he was the commander of the Hunters, he and his team encountered a giant Devourer that was later named the Double-jawed Beast during a ground operation.

The entire hunter team was in dire straits.

At the critical moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, tracing an unbelievable Z-shaped trajectory through the Devouring Beast's body, effortlessly killing the terrifying monster that had driven them to the brink of despair and saving everyone.

That lightning bolt was Bai Yuekui!
Morgan's expression was complicated.

After Bai Yuekui saved them, he took Bai Yuekui to the lighthouse, but at that time he was unaware of the feud between Bai Yuekui and Gray.

In fact, he only fully understood it in the last few days.

Gray's body belongs to Bai Yuekui's brother, and the super artificial intelligence in the Croto system was developed by Bai Yuekui's father.

After bringing Bai Yuekui to the lighthouse, the lighthouse and Bai Yuekui fought a confusing battle.

The hunter squad was almost completely wiped out.

His teammates, trusted subordinates, and joking friends all fell under Bai Yuekui's blade.

Finally, Bai Yuekui cut off one of Victor's arms.

He shot and hit Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui left the lighthouse and was never seen again.

He had once guessed that Bai Yuekui might have fallen to her death, otherwise why would she never come back, since her things were still on the lighthouse.

"What are you doing here?" Morgan paused. "Are you here to mock me?"

Bai Yuekui shook his head.

She replied, "I've come to retrieve my things and also to see you."

"Look at me?" Morgan was taken aback.

Bai Yuekui nodded and said calmly, "I will say goodbye to everyone I know, if conditions permit."

Saying goodbye—this was the first thing she learned from her long life.

Farewell to the professor, farewell to the father, farewell to Ash
Teachers, classmates, and colleagues bid her farewell to everyone she knew.

Finally, she realized that everyone would leave her, and she was destined to walk alone to the end of the story.

Morgan paused for two seconds before saying, "Thank you."

"Then let's go."

Morgan, leaning on his cane, walked outside with Bai Yuekui.

Next came the White Moon Sky.

Finally, there were Mark, Charles, Jingnan, Elon, Carrie, and others, each with a different expression.

“You still look the same as before,” Morgan said slowly, his voice filled with nostalgia, like any dying person reminiscing about the past, without any resentment.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly.

"How do you survive on the ground?" Morgan asked.

He had been in charge of the lighthouse for decades, and even in his final moments before departing, he couldn't help but care about its future.

Bai Yuekui looked at his toes and answered softly, "We built shielding towers on the ground to drive away the Devouring Beasts, then cleaned up the ecological pollution within the shielding tower's range, and built a small paradise, which to some extent restored the production and life of the old world."

Morgan paused slightly, his aged face trembling slightly.

“We also possess a special skill called Return to Origin, which allows us to shield our emotions. When we encounter Devouring Beasts, we can use it so that even if we step on a Devouring Beast, it won’t be able to detect us.” Bai Yuekui said with a deep look in his eyes, “Although there may be some accidental injuries or deaths occasionally, in this cruel apocalypse, such a life is already considered very good.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Morgan felt all the strength drain from his body.

He stopped, leaning on his cane, and the wrinkles on his face trembled with the surge of emotion, like countless worms crawling on his face, ferocious and terrifying.

"Are you all doing so well?" he asked.

Morgan's voice trembled.

In his vision, humans living on the ground would have to face endless attacks from Devouring Beasts, but thanks to the incredibly powerful monster Bai Yuekui, the survivors on the ground could barely make ends meet.

But it will never be better than a lighthouse far from the ground.

However, Bai Yuekui's words shattered his expectations.

Ground-dwelling people have ways to drive away the Devouring Beasts and clean up ecological pollution, which is far better than the Lighthouse hiding in the sky and simply escaping.

The problem of human emotions attracting Devouring Beasts, which forced him to promulgate the Three Laws, can also be solved by ground people through a special skill, which is much freer and more comfortable than his Three Laws.

If life on the ground is so good, then what about the lighthouse for which he dedicated his life?
"It's not as good as you think." Bai Yuekui paused for a moment.

"But it's definitely better than yours."

At this moment, Bai Yuetian interjected, "Morgan, I told you long ago that the Three Laws are inhumane, but no, you're still arguing with me!"

A sickly flush rose on Morgan's pale face.

"cough cough cough cough"

He coughed violently, leaning on his cane, his body swaying up and down like a willow branch in a storm, as if he would cough up his lungs at any moment.

"Lord of the City!" Victor was extremely nervous. He rushed forward and helped Morgan up.

Elon and Carrie watched Morgan from behind.

As elders who had served as beacons of light, they felt a mix of emotions seeing Morgan's frail and aged appearance.

They had both experienced the bloodshed and upheaval that led to the enactment of the Three Laws many years ago, and could understand Morgan's feelings at this moment.

Elon felt mostly wistful.

Carrie, however, was different.

As she watched Morgan's retreating figure, a mocking look gradually appeared in her eyes.

Morgan, Morgan, you've finally met your match.

Weren't you quite decisive when you promulgated the Three Laws? You gave away your wife as soon as you said you would, and you killed your disciples as soon as you said you would. Now that you know that humanity has better options besides the Three Laws, you must be feeling terrible, right?

Live it!

Pooh!
"Don't blame yourself too much," Bai Yuetian shrugged.

"After all, you're not my genius little sister. You can't build shielding towers or return to the origin. If you knew everything, you'd probably be living on the ground by now, right?"

Dragon Bone Village is better than the Lighthouse in every way.

If I had to say something, it would be that the population is a bit small, only a few hundred people.

But long ago, Dragonbone Village had a much larger population than this. However, a sudden change caused a sharp decline in the population, so now there are only a few hundred people.

"Lord of the city, let me go get you some medicine!" Victor said through gritted teeth.

Morgan was both his superior and his friend.

He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

Morgan shook his head, gripping Victor's wrist tightly with one hand, preventing Victor from leaving.

After a while, he gradually stopped coughing amidst the worried gazes of everyone.

“I was wrong, and Mr. Gray was wrong too,” he murmured.
