The Chairman's Ideals, Like Moths to a Flame

Mi Lan made a seven with her right hand at her chin.

"Of course, we'll kill them all."

A deep, oppressive aura, as if capable of drowning, emanated from Mi Lan's once clear eyes. It was as if endless seawater was being poured into her body, leaving her unable to struggle and only able to sink heavily to the bottom of the sea, making one feel the terror of the deep ocean.

Du Jiashi and the others, who were staring into his eyes, were startled.

Then a thought popped into their heads: as expected of people who admire the Bai Zuo," they are very similar to the Bai Zuo."

But there are some differences.

After observing for a while, Yang Yu realized that this was probably a child trying to attract an adult's attention by imitating the personality and behavior of the adult they admired, hoping to gain that adult's attention.

Unfortunately, that adult's personality was too awful; I didn't even want to look at him.

Mi Lan is too stubborn.

So, that's why Mi Lan developed this personality that's both naive and cruel?

"Kill them all?" Du Jiashi shocked he almost bit his tongue.

Yin Nu clenched her fist. She didn't know if she could bring herself to do it. She could fight the supernatural or kill bad guys, but she couldn't bring herself to do it to ordinary people who were just on different sides.

Perhaps she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Without certain training, or without a firm or ruthless nature, one cannot bring oneself to harm others.

Xu Rou: "People in this world have struggled to survive with great difficulty. For those who haven't attacked us, are there any other, more peaceful methods?"

The Xia Kingdom will retaliate fiercely when attacked, but it is not a country that advocates aggression.

In ancient times, even going to war required a just cause.

Yang Yu: "It's unlikely that everyone will resist. Some people will eventually see the situation clearly and surrender. As long as we communicate well and let them know that they can survive well, or even better, after joining the Anomaly Containment Association, they might surrender without even having to fight."

Yang Yu could tell what kind of life the people here led just by looking at the environment.

Large areas of land are polluted. There may still be some arable land, but not much. The food produced may only be supplied to the upper class, while the lower class can only earn a small amount of food through labor to barely avoid starvation.

If you want to eat meat, you can only hunt those animals that have been contaminated or mutated, and you don't know if you will get sick from eating their meat.

No, perhaps the world is already sick, terminally ill.

It's barely surviving now, and no one knows when it will perish.

Mi Lan saw that they had already started discussing how to persuade the other side to surrender and not resist.

He chuckled, "Hahaha, of course I was just kidding!"

"Huh?" The four of them looked completely bewildered.

"So you're a newbie after all. Have you forgotten that there are Humanity Code the Anomaly Containment Association?"

"Humanity Code?" Du Jiashi scratched his head, feeling a little itchy, as if his brain was about to grow.

Yang Yu: "I think I've heard of it, but I'm not sure what the specific regulations are."

Yin Nu and Xu Rou also tried to recall carefully, but they had only heard about it before.

Mi Lan: "Since you weren't Contract Anomalist before, you didn't need to know these things. But afterwards, you'll be required to memorize that long Humanity Protection Code, right?"

"Listen carefully, Article 4 of the Humanity Protection Code is to safeguard the flame of civilization and ensure the transmission of human rights."

"Not only can we not destroy the transmission of a civilization, but on the contrary, when we see that a civilization is about to perish, we still need to expend effort to protect it."

Du Jiashi: "Huh? This is the first time I've heard of this. Isn't our organization a containment organization?"

Yang Yu: "It sounds more like a savior organization."

Xu Rou: "Really? So the organization needs to do this kind of thing."

Yin Nu: "It must be very tiring, right?"

Not only must we contain the supernatural, but we must also protect civilization. If the organization is not strong enough, it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Mi Lan immediately noticed their misunderstanding and corrected them. "It's not what you think. If you're thinking of the Anomaly Containment Association as a savior organization, you're mistaken. To be more precise, it's the owner of the garden that maintains the health of the giant tree."

"If we compare the civilizations in those worlds and spaces to individual leaves, and the countless universes to giant trees, then the extinction of a civilization in one world or space will cause that world to lose its light of civilization, and the leaves on the corresponding giant tree will wither and fall."

"The strange phenomenon is more like a pest that damages trees. If you ignore a single leaf, the tree will struggle to survive once all the leaves have fallen."

"What we need to do is eliminate pests and ensure the health of every leaf, thereby ensuring the health of the giant tree."

"Then, we can reap a bountiful harvest from these giant trees, strengthening ourselves—it's all in a mutually beneficial way."

"Therefore, the organization will consider whether the world is worth saving; after all, removing some diseased leaves also protects other leaves and branches from being infected."

This is just an analogy.

The specific situation is certainly more complex.

Mi Lan was just giving an example to help these newcomers better understand why the organization puts in the effort to do this kind of thing.

"Of course, you can just listen to it. I heard that in the beginning, when the Chairman was establishing the organization, in order to prevent the Anomaly Containment Association grew stronger, becoming unscrupulous, and eventually losing itself and becoming a new kind of evil pest."

It was probably a rule set up in order to find what he wanted.

The four newcomers listened attentively, silently taking notes of what Mi Lan said.

They grew increasingly curious about the Chairman, the One had only heard of but never seen, and were eager to learn more about him.

Who exactly is the Chairman who built such a powerful organization?

What are his principles?

What were his feelings when he set these rules?

Suddenly, they seemed to see a pair of tolerant eyes silently watching them.

The Anomaly Containment Association, the Contract Anomalist, the employees, and everything else were transformed into a sphere, held in the palm of the One powerful, godlike being.

They all grew up slowly under his watchful eye.

Then it slowly floated on his hand, flapped its wings, and circled around him continuously.

He stood at the end of time, and with just a glance, countless spheres gritted their teeth and chased after him relentlessly.

It seemed as if those worlds were chasing him, but in reality, it was because he emanated a powerful gravitational pull, like invisible threads that firmly attracted them, making them unconsciously and endlessly pursue him.

The group's hearts pounded with excitement, their eyes filled with longing, curiosity, and admiration for the Chairman.

The world he watches over, embraces, and saves will likely flock to him like moths to a flame, without hesitation.
