Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 92 He actually ate beef!

“Teacher, I must thank you for your criticism,” Morgan said sincerely.

"Sitting in the position of city lord, wielding the greatest power in the lighthouse, I unknowingly fell into depravity."

Bai Yuetian nodded slowly.

Good, at least they showed some remorse.

“But you knew how to enjoy life even better than I did back then!” Morgan changed the subject, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.

"Huh?" Bai Yuetian was stunned.

Morgan sighed, "You always eat freshly cut steaks, while mine are all frozen. When it comes to enjoying yourself, you're the one who truly appreciates it!"

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

Am I really that depraved in this world? Cutting beef right up? Why don't I just lie down on the cow and eat it?
"I don't remember," Bai Yuetian said in a low voice.

Morgan shrugged. "You don't remember."

Bai Yuetian felt a black crow fly overhead, and the crow cawed and laid six black dung balls, all of which hit him on the head.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Bai Yuetian forced a smile and said, "I came here to learn about the Three Great Laws from you."

“Mark told me that the three laws are for conserving resources and using them where they are most needed. I can understand genetic screening, but I don’t understand why we need to divide people into classes and prohibit emotions.”

Bai Yuetian glanced at the food on the table.

He said in a deep voice, "Judging from your performance today, the argument about conserving resources doesn't seem to hold water."

Bai Yuetian scrutinized Morgan.

If the Three Laws are truly for the purpose of conserving resources, then there should be no distinction between the diets of the upper class and the lower class; eating insect cakes together would be the most economical option.

Morgan actually ate beef!
"You came to me so early in the morning to ask about the Three Laws. Surely you have more than just questions about the Three Laws. Is there something else?" Morgan asked slowly.

Bai Yuetian nodded slightly: "I met a friend in the Dust People District. His name is 0609."

Morgan nodded: "0609, I know him."

"Do you know that 0609 has a lover? After you promulgated the Three Laws, his lover was judged to be an upper-class citizen, and he was judged to be a commoner, and they were forced to be separated for decades!" Bai Yuetian frowned.

Even from a doomsday perspective, he felt that the three laws were very unreasonable and that there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Morgan pursed her lips: "So you came here for them."

Bai Yuetian scrutinized Morgan's expression.

Morgan wasn't surprised at all; it seemed he already knew about 0609's love story.

"let me guess."

"You want me to allow them to be together?" Morgan asked.

Bai Yuetian nodded slowly.

"Absolutely not!" Morgan refused without hesitation.

"Teacher, the Dust People are of no help to human survival. You should not be misled by them!"

Morgan's tone was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Bai Yuetian frowned.

He said in a deep voice, "If the Dust People are really that bad, then why didn't I enact the Three Laws when I was in power? Do you know better than me how to keep the Beacon alive?"

Morgan was stunned.

He looked at Bai Yuetian's face and smiled dejectedly: "The reason I promulgated the Three Laws is because I am inferior to you."

Morgan's expression was complicated.

"What do you mean?" Bai Yuetian pressed.

He keenly sensed that Morgan's words were not just ordinary flattery, but had a deeper meaning behind them.

Morgan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Conserving resources is only one function of the Three Laws, not the true purpose of the Three Laws."

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

This is different from the version Mark told him.

"Of course, I do hope to conserve some resources. After all, I am not you, and you always have ways to get supplies."

"But two other things really matter."

“This is what you told me.” Morgan stared at Bai Yuetian, his gaze gradually becoming serious. Bai Yuetian leaned forward, adopting a posture of attentive listening.

“The Devouring Beasts lock onto their enemies based on human emotional fluctuations,” Morgan said.

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

Morgan explained, "In the eyes of the Devourer, human emotions have colors."

"The stronger the emotion, the more dazzling the color. Some exceptionally strong emotions can even turn into a sun in the eyes of the Devouring Beast!"

Does the Devouring Beast rely on emotions to lock onto its enemies?

Why can they distinguish emotions? It's like they're using biological weapons against humans.
"Go on," Bai Yuetian said. He didn't fully understand Morgan's meaning, but he was starting to get the hang of it.

"Can you imagine two suns appearing in the sky at the same time?" Morgan asked.

He raised his two fists.

"Put yourself in their shoes. If we were Devouring Beasts, and two suns suddenly appeared in the sky, wouldn't you notice the new one?" Morgan asked seriously.

Bai Yuetian's brain was working at lightning speed.

He frowned and said, "If the people on the lighthouse have too strong emotions, the lighthouse will be as conspicuous as the sun in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts, attracting many Devouring Beasts to attack?"

“That’s right!” Morgan nodded vigorously.

He explained, "The reason the lighthouse can stay safely in the air is because the Mana ecosystem has not evolved flying Devourer Beasts!"

"The reason it didn't happen is because the lighthouse is suspended extremely high in the sky, and the distance eliminates the glimmer of emotion in the eyes of the Devouring Beasts, thus failing to attract their attention!"

"What do you think will happen when the lighthouse gets close to the ground?" Morgan leaned forward.

Bai Yuetian remained silent.

Morgan answered the question himself: "Not only will it attract tens of thousands of Devourers, but the Mana ecosystem will also evolve at an accelerated pace, creating flying Devourers to attack the Lighthouse!"

"If everyone on the lighthouse has abundant emotions, the effect is the same as if the lighthouse were close to the ground."

At this point, Morgan's emotions calmed down.

"If we were to survive then, we would have to move the lighthouse to a higher altitude."

"It's colder there, the oxygen is thinner, and fewer people will survive than they do now."

"So, teacher, do you understand now?"

Morgan solemnly declared, "I promulgate the Three Laws truly for the survival of the human race."

Bai Yuetian fell silent.

If Morgan was telling the truth, he was somewhat convinced by Morgan.

Emotional fluctuations can cause a lighthouse to fall.

Abolishing old-world family relationships and preventing free love can eliminate the bonds between people and weaken human emotions as much as possible.

Weakening it is one thing, but it's another.

Because the lighthouse is already flying very high, it can't go any higher.

The higher the altitude, the colder the climate and the thinner the oxygen, posing a challenge to humanity in extreme environments.

For every meter the lighthouse rises, several people may die as a result.

"I am not as good as you."

“After you left, I promulgated three laws: if the lighthouse stays in the sky for one more day, it may be able to wait until the end of the world. When that day comes, I am willing to accept judgment.”

"Besides the fact that emotions attract Devouring Beasts, there is another reason, but I feel that you do not understand me yet, so I cannot tell you this reason for the time being."

Mark's face flashed into Morgan's mind.

"Now, back to 0609, do you understand now? I cannot allow 0609 to be with his lover," Morgan said in a deep voice.

Bai Yuetian nodded: "I completely understand."

Morgan's words opened his mind: there was a deeper reason behind the Three Laws.

But one code equals another.

I still want them to be together.

Morgan was stunned.

He looked at Bai Yuetian in bewilderment, their gazes clashing in the air, sparking an invisible flame.
