1841 The Last Time We Fight Together

Even so, Meng Chao still blurted out, “No, how can you go there? Stay here!”

“Why?”

Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao with bright eyes. “Are you afraid that I’ll run into trouble in the depths of the ancient ruins? Or are you afraid that the power of the monster mastermind is still lurking in my body? If I go deep into the ancient ruins and encounter something incredible, I might turn into a wild banshee again and cause unpredictable consequences?”

Meng Chao did not know whether he was worried about the former or the latter.

Perhaps, it was both.

“If it’s the former, I don’t think there’s any difference—whether I go deep into the ancient ruins or not, the risk is the same,” Lu Siya said.

“How can it be the same?” Meng Chao frowned.

“The reason is very simple. Following you into the ancient ruins to find Battle God Lei Zongchao is certainly a dangerous and risky thing, but staying here obediently will not guarantee my safety either!”

Lu Siya spread her hands. ” I think even you can’t guarantee that Battle God Lei Zongchao is still alive and kicking in the depths of the ancient ruins, can you?

“Perhaps he’s already turned into a pile of bones or a deformed monster, or he might be mired in the never-ending nothingness. This so-called ‘search and rescue’ is just wishful thinking on your part.”

Meng Chao fell silent.

He had to admit that what Lu Siya said was likely the case.

“Even if the Battle God is still alive, you can’t guarantee that this search-and-rescue operation will succeed. You can’t even guarantee your own life. You might die in the depths of the ancient ruins. Meng Chao, you might actually die!”

Lu Siya’s eyes were fiery, and her voice was filled with unusual emotions.

“I won’t die, at least not today.”

Meng Chao grinned, and his smile was extremely bitter. “If Su Mulian’s prediction is true, then I still have at least ten to twenty years before I die!

“If Su Mulian can predict the future, why didn’t she predict that her assassination would fail and that the Battle God Lei Zongchao would go missing?”

Lu Siya continued, “In short, exploring the ancient ruins is too dangerous. Even with Su Mulian’s prophecy, I don’t believe that you can escape unscathed.

“As for the current situation in Dragon City, you’ve seen it yourself. A war could break out at any moment.

“Battle God Lei Zongchao and you, one old and one new, are the two people who would most likely have the support of all parties. If, and I mean ‘if,’ both of you die in the depths of the ancient ruins, do you think the situation in Dragon City can still be stabilized? Do you think the Dragon City civilization will still have a future to speak of?

“When a nest is overturned, how can the eggs inside remain intact? I don’t think I’ll be able to survive the long period of chaos and destruction of order after you and the Battle God are both dead. The strong prey on the weak and the bloody chaos of lawlessness. You must know that I’ve offended more people than you along the way. I don’t think that when the world is in chaos, those enemies and competitors who are sharpening their knives will easily let me off the hook.

“I would rather go to the ancient ruins with you and die there. At the very least, I would be able to control my fate and fight side by side with you again before my last moments. I might even have the chance to spy on the secrets that have been hidden in the depths of the Other World for billions of years!”

Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

Lu Siya’s words reminded him that from a certain perspective, his life did not completely belong to him.

If he really disappeared in the ancient ruins, what would happen to Superstar Company, the Azure Alliance, and even the entire Dragon City?

‘D*mn it, what’s with these so-called apocalyptic memories, bloody nightmares, and abilities to foresee the future?’

Why did he, “Jackal” Kanus, and Su Mulian see three completely different futures in three nightmares?

Besides, among these three futures, none of them mentioned that he had entered the deepest part of the ancient ruins to find Battle God Lei Zongchao!

So, could the future be predicted?

Plus, who was it that had stuffed these d*mned futures into their heads?

“What if it’s the latter?” Meng Chao deliberately asked in a cold tone.

“If you’re worried that the monster’s power in my body hasn’t been completely expelled, then all the more reason for you to keep me by your side!”

Lu Siya had seemingly expected Meng Chao’s question. She smiled and said, “Don’t forget that although I’ve lost my power, I’m still the CEO of Superstar Company, a core member of the Azure Alliance, and your closest comrade. These identities are enough to help me do a lot of things.

“If the wild banshee is still part of me, aren’t you worried that I might use your name to stir up trouble in Dragon City after you and the Battle God both get lost in the ancient ruins?

“Perhaps I still have plenty of henchmen outside. Perhaps the monsters in human skin have already infiltrated thousands of households in Dragon City. Perhaps there are a lot of monsters in human skin in the Ordinary People’s Committee, waiting to carry out my orders at a moment’s notice?”

Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya with a blank expression.

“Of course, you can also report to the relevant departments in advance and imprison me. By the way, you can mobilize the secret police and the army to arrest the entire Ordinary People’s Committee and interrogate, as well as investigate, the ‘selfish ordinary people’ rigorously.”

Lu Siya blinked. “Maybe, we can find a few monsters among the millions of ordinary people!”

That was impossible.

The situation in Dragon City was already as dangerous and chaotic.

At this point, arresting the members of the Ordinary People’s Committee on the grounds that ‘monsters in human skin might be lurking among them’ would be the stupidest decision.

Meng Chao suddenly felt that Lu Zhongqi was right.

Even if his granddaughter, Lu Siya, had lost all her strength and became one of the thousands of ordinary people, she still had free will.

“So, are you a wild banshee or not?” Meng Chao could not help but ask this question again.

But this time, Lu Siya appeared more serious than ever.

“I don’t know.

“I don’t know if there is still monster power left in my body. I don’t know what I will be like tomorrow. I don’t know if I will be a pure human or a wild banshee. I don’t know if I will save or destroy Dragon City tomorrow.

“But what does it matter?

“No one, no one in this world can predict who I will be tomorrow and how I will change the world around me tomorrow.

“Meng Chao, can you guarantee that in the future, you’ll always be pure human, that you’ll always bring hope and salvation to Dragon City instead of despair and destruction?”
