Chapter 179 Do I Look Easy to Talk To?
Taylor threw back his cape, sat down, and said, "That's all the information I know. Do you have anything to add?"
Irina: "This creature hasn't been found in the north yet."
Fyodor: "Not in the south yet."
"No, or do you just not care?" After provoking the two, Taylor turned to look at He Gui and asked, "What about the East?"
He Gui: "Yes, but it has no reference value."
Taylor: “Tell me about it.”
He Gui: "The reconnaissance team I sent out encountered a UMA. He had a strong learning ability and could imitate humans' every move and infiltrate the team. Coincidentally, there happened to be a member of the team who was extremely sensitive to soul power. After noticing that something was wrong with that guy, in order to ensure the safety of the team members, he immediately shot him in the head with a fatal blow."
Taylor: "Capture him alive! How could you kill him like that?"
He Gui: "It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. It just happened to be a fatal blow. What can I do? How about you resurrect him?"
Irina: "Okay, stop arguing! He Gui's information is also very useful. A month ago, the one Taylor and his team caught was unconscious, but this one has the ability to learn. That means..."
Several people said in unison: "The ghost has evolved again."
Fyodor: "This is troublesome. At this rate of evolution, how can we distinguish between UMA and humans?"
Taylor: "Isn't the most troublesome thing that the Ghost Mother's power has increased again? These monsters are most likely born from her."
Irina: "If she really creates a group of highly intelligent monsters, then humanity really has no chance of winning."
Taylor: "Don't be so pessimistic. Ghost Mother doesn't have that ability yet."
Irina: "Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Fyodor: "There's always a way to solve it."
He Gui, who had been silent all this time, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, closed his eyes and thought about something.
While the others were still arguing and worrying about UMA, He Gui suddenly spoke up, "What do you think? Would it be helpful to cut off her food supply at the source?"
Taylor: “What do you mean?”
Irina: "Tell me in detail."
Fyodor: "Tell me about it, it might be helpful."
He Gui: "Suppose this half-human, half-ghost monster was born from the Ghost Mother's egg case. And the Ghost Mother can only give birth to egg cases if she devours humans with strong souls. What if she is not allowed to eat them?"
Taylor: "You mean, let the people who are captured by the ghost commit suicide before they are eaten?"
Fyodor: "It's a good idea, but how can we guarantee with absolute certainty that the captured person will commit suicide?"
He Gui took off his badge and said to the others, "We can do something with this."
Taylor: "The badge is worn right on the chest. All it takes is some small trick to kill instantly."
Fyodor: "Solving the problem at its root is indeed a good approach."
Irina disagreed and slammed the table, saying, "A badge! It's a symbol of military honor. How could you be so cruel as to tamper with a badge that everyone considers a source of honor?"
Taylor: "Some people die to save more people. As long as they are not eaten by ghosts, everyone can be reincarnated! Only when the soul is eaten, it is truly dead!"
Fyodor: "Don't be so stubborn. Crane Return is a good idea indeed."
Irina: "How can you ensure that all ghost masters wear this badge?"
Taylor: "I can't guarantee that, but nearly 80% of ghost masters are in the military. Those unions and bounty hunters only make up a small number. We just need to ensure that these 80% of ghost masters don't fall into the hands of the Ghost Mother, it's that simple!"
Irina: "No, I still don't agree."
Fyodor: "This is the best way to stop the growth of the Demon Mother. Do you really want to see humanity go extinct?"
Irina: "But, don't you think it's ironic that those who fought for honor ended up dying at the hands of the badge that symbolizes honor?"
He Gui's voice was still cold and devoid of any human emotion: "This is the only way. We have no choice. We will only wear something we find precious. That is honor."
Irina: "Can't you choose something else?"
He Gui: "It's very difficult."
Irina covered her face with her hands and shook her head unwillingly: "Why does it have to be like this? How can I accept this?"
Taylor and Fyodor were still trying to persuade her.
He Gui did not participate, but asked the AI beside him, "Maria."
Maria turned her gaze to He Gui and bowed to him.
"Commander Crane, please speak."
"You programmed all the data in these badges, right?"
"Yes."
"So, can we program it to emit 25-300 Hz current?"
"It's easy for me, but it can only be implemented with the consent of all commanders."
"Ah."
After He Gui finished the conversation, he continued to look at the three people.
Fyodor: "You must carefully consider the seriousness of what we just told you."
"Our primary goal is to keep humanity alive. Who cares about honor or anything like that?" Taylor said angrily, then sat back down and waved his hand, "Never mind, vote!"
A screen appeared in front of them, with only two buttons.
"whether"
Before the voting began, He Gui said, "Let me be clear: the badge tampering incident must not be known to anyone other than the four of us."
Taylor: "You're worried that after everyone knows the truth, some people won't wear their badges, right?"
He Gui nodded slightly and added, "If possible, it would be best to promote the idea that the badge is a symbol of life and honor, and brainwash the Ghost Tamers. Or, perhaps issue an order that when on a mission, the badge cannot be removed unless they die."
Fyodor: "You think very comprehensively!"
"Okay, let's vote! I agree anyway." Taylor said, and pressed the button without hesitation: Yes.
Finally, Maria announced the voting results.
"Three votes in favor, one veto from the Northern Commander. This meeting is invalid."
He Gui had already expected this result and did not have any emotional fluctuations.
Taylor was furious. He jumped up from his seat and went to argue with Irina.
"We just talked to you for so long, but it was all in vain? Even if Cuomo Xingzi doesn't want money, you can't waste it like this."
Irina: "I accept everything you said before, but I cannot accept He Gui's proposal. Are we going to let the warriors who fought for humanity to the end not even know how they died? Isn't that too selfish?"
Taylor: "I think you are the selfish one!"
Irina: "Whatever you say."
Fyodor: "Okay, stop arguing."
Taylor's chest heaved with anger. "You made such a hassle out of something you could have just clicked."
Irina: "If only it were as easy as you say."
Fyodor: "So, I've said it before, women can't handle big things."
Irina: "Your sexism is exposed, right? You hypocrite!"
Taylor: "If you keep dragging it out like this, when will the Hegui auction start?"
Irina: "You can get my consent if Hegui returns the mechanical blueprints belonging to us in the north without compensation."
Several people looked at He Gui in unison.
He Gui simply said, "Do I look easier to talk to than Irina?"
Taylor: "Well, let's try to convince this guy."
Fyodor: "I agree."
Irina: "What are you doing? Are you bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?"
Taylor: "The main thing is that He Gui's proposal is really good. If you just agree, we'll be done."
Fyodor: “Yes.”
Irina: "I don't agree, don't even think about it!"
He Gui closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows.
"What a noise!"
