Chapter 84: Chapter 58: Meteor, I Will Come Back

As soon as the words fell, an even more intense pain struck.

Yet Ren Zhong’s emotions were extraordinarily elevated to the extreme.

His body didn’t tremble at all; instead, he stood even more firmly.

"You’re already about to die! Are you still going to deceive me?"

Upon hearing Ren Zhong’s "sophistry," Ju Qingmeng shook her head repeatedly in shock and anger.

As she spoke, she clenched her teeth so tightly that her temples were visibly swelling.

Ren Zhong knew he was misunderstood.

This was all expected.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of grievance.

On the contrary, he felt very comforted.

Because Ju Qingmeng’s questioning interrupted Lin Wang’s actions, Ren Zhong deftly seized the opportunity.

Lin Wang wanted him to die kneeling, he chose to die standing.

Now he won the right to choose his way of dying.

"I know. You must think I’m still deceiving you. You might even suspect that I’m deliberately trying to make a connection with you, hoping you’ll spare my life."

Ren Zhong laughed, "But please believe me, I never thought of that. I am more sincere than anyone you’ve ever met. Finally, I have a few things to say."

In the next instant, Ren Zhong on the roof of the second floor suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly to the thousands of people down below.

"Someone once told me that the ancient people of the Source Star ate raw meat and drank blood, overcoming sleep with willpower, competing with nature and Ruined Beasts to survive till now! As if the Source Star were the origin land of humanity!"

"But I want to tell you, that’s a complete and utter lie!"

"Humanity’s origin is not on this Source Star with a blue sun and two moons! Humanity comes from the Milky Way galaxy! The Solar System! The third planet in the Solar System! Earth!"

"There are no Ruined Beasts on Earth!"

"Earth has taken 4.5 billion years to slowly nurture humanity! That is our birthplace!"

"I don’t know how humanity came to Source Star! I even wonder if Source Star is still in the Milky Way because of the stars in the night sky!"

"I must also tell you! Human sleep can be interrupted!"

"I must also tell you, as the longest-living primate, the normal human lifespan should be seventy to eighty years! Some people even live to one hundred!"

"You’re aging too quickly!"

"This era is too harsh on the destitute of Starfire Town! The destitute don’t live like humans at all!"

"This world is filled with conspiracies and lies! Whether it’s the Hunter pursuing our brains or teenagers forced to hunt at sixteen, these are all outright conspiracies!"

"In the current technological context, everyone should live with more dignity! And should live longer!"

From the distant horizon, a black dot suddenly soared into the sky, rushing straight toward them.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong grinned.

Here it comes.

He opened his arms and shouted again.

"I have seen an era like this

where there is no distinction between the destitute and citizens

where citizens are also not divided into classes

where private transactions don’t require taxation

where the vast majority live like human beings

although there are still injustices

and classes

but there are still enough gaps left for the talented and the persevere to ascend

Of course, there is also war

where lives are valued as low as grass

but there was always a group of people fighting for the happiness of hundreds of millions of people for decades

The reasons for an era’s tragedy might be different

but the miserable fate of humanity is the same

One day

I will, like those I admired before

sow the seeds of fire on this land

with my lifelong conviction

ignite a struggle that spans the entire era

I will show you the true way to live

I’ve seized my mission

I come with memories that clash with the world

carrying the will of the ancients

I see so much that is alien to me

but you find the darkness to be obvious

I will

liberate this era!"

Finally, the Hunter arrived with a howling wind, throwing the crowd into disarray.

An orange beam shot from hundreds of meters away, precisely hitting Ren Zhong’s chest.

The familiar hole, the familiar white smoke.

Ren Zhong didn’t bow his head.

He didn’t even look at the Hunter, only gazed skywards.

In fact, he still wanted to speak, but no sound could come from his throat.

He simply thought quietly to himself.

"The paddy blossoms of Orange Isle will surely blossom."

Under the eyes of thousands, Ren Zhong with his head held high and arms spread wide, died gloriously like a meteor.

He finally lost resistance to the soul-tearing pain.

The intense pain lasted only 0.2 seconds.

Death.

Ren Zhong returned to clarity, and his "perspective" retreated a few meters, quietly watching the Hunter approaching with a gust, and Lin Wang and others hastily jumping off the rooftop in panic.

Ren Zhong looked toward the stage.

He sighed inwardly.

Many were clutching their stomachs, laughing heartily.

Some bore mocking smiles.

Others curled their lips disdainfully, thinking he was a madman.

Just a lunatic deadman.

From his claim that Source Star wasn’t humanity’s origin, it was clear his mind was unhinged.

Additionally, hasn’t humanity always had this lifespan since ancient times?

Eighty years?

A hundred years?

I might even be immortal!

Isn’t this mythology?

It’s too absurd.

It’s like claiming there is only one moon in the sky.

A madman!

It seemed like everyone was mocking Ren Zhong, much like observers once mocked a dead boy.

But Ren Zhong eventually discovered something different.

There were three people acting suspiciously.

Sun Miao was full of fear, cautiously glancing at the Hunter before shrinking back into the crowd.

Ju Qingmeng widened her eyes, mouth agape, half doubtful, half horrified.

The mayor, Ma Dafu, who was supposed to be the first to publically refute his fallacies, not only didn’t speak but was instead nervously eyeing around.

The unbelievable happened; the Hunter did not immediately take his brain, but suddenly changed direction, and the front beam gleamed again.

Sun Miao was shot through the back.

Ju Qingmeng and Ma Dafu almost simultaneously had large holes blasted in their chests.

Since the crowd was too dense where these three stood, the Hunter’s straight beam hit several people after piercing through them.

The scene was filled with screams and chaos.

Ren Zhong could no longer see what happened next.

His consciousness descended, and upon opening his eyes again, he faced the transparent lid of the frozen storage.

Ren Zhong didn’t hurry to leave the frozen storage but instead couldn’t help bursting into laughter inside.

Excellent!

Terrific!

Sun Miao and Ma Dafu, those seasoned actors, hid well but were ultimately exposed by their emotions, sparked by his dying declaration.

As for Ju Qingmeng, affected by his influence last night and this morning, and harboring discontent for reality, she probably couldn’t control her emotions either.

They were shaken and had been noticed by the Hunter.

It seemed that when he deliberately talked nonsense to provoke the Hunter, the terrifying surveillance already descended over the town.

Everyone present was marked with a high-risk label.

Their heartbeats, micro-expressions, demeanor, and all details were clearly seen by the town’s center "Sauron’s Magic Eye".

Therefore, when the Hunter arrived, it killed three people with the principle of rather killing by mistake than missing anyone.

But this was good news, proving that those people he implicated were his comrades worth expecting in their bones!

Good, set off!

At the stream while picking red fruits, Ren Zhong sensed his Brain Reaction Index.

A bit disappointed, but it was expected.

The Brain Reaction Index fell back to 52.9.

The impact of the stimulant on nerve reactions is on a physical level and is not carried over by memory.

...

"Hello, my name is Ren Zhong. Nice to meet you. Are you Scavengers from Starfire Town?"

Ren Zhong, with a smiling face, said to the shocked Zheng Tian and others.
