Chapter 449: In troubled times, human life is worthless
The child was skinny and small, and her clothes were ragged. It was obvious that she couldn't squeeze into the crowd and get the relief food.
Under such difficult circumstances, I don’t know how this child managed to survive.
Gu Chen looked at the scene from afar through his Ultra Vision, and his heart ached.
Any normal person would feel compassion if they saw this scene.
But the problem is...the victims are no longer considered human beings!
They are in desperate need of survival, so they will eat anything edible, no matter what it is!
The victims had eaten all kinds of wild grass and tree bark before they encountered the disaster relief efforts of this unknown force!
To put it more cruelly, if we really force it to that point... this child who is less than five years old can be eaten!
Exchange your children for food! Exchange your children for food!
These four words may seem like simple words, but since they exist, it means that such a thing must have happened!
The child may have been used as food. In this case, who among the crazy disaster victims would help the child?
The only people who could possibly help this child are those who are not disaster victims.
Just as the child was holding the bowl and crying outside the crowd, a man dressed in strange clothes, who seemed to be dressed in Fontaine clothes, limped over from a distance.
This person really couldn't stand it anymore.
He took the bowl from the child, squeezed into the crowd with all his strength, and scooped a spoonful of porridge from it.
Then he squeezed out of the crowd and handed the bowl of porridge to the child.
The child took the food and was stunned.
At this moment, she looked at this kind-hearted man as if she were looking at God!
Even if the Thunder General they believed in appeared beside her at this time, the child probably wouldn't turn her head or blink.
After all, where was General Thunder when she was about to starve to death?
The child nodded dully at the kind-hearted man, then ran away with the bowl in his hand.
She wanted to eat the food she had finally obtained while no one was paying attention to her.
Looking at the child's back as he walked away, the kind-hearted man shook his head.
He limped away again.
Walking further away, he sat on a large rock, looking at the chaotic disaster relief scene around him. He took out the guitar on his back and sang softly and sadly while strumming:
"Black Crow, the arrows have burrowed beneath its wings.
The extinguishing torch of the demon fox was the final change.
As for me, Weasel, the inheritance is a full five hundred Moras.
Oh, two hundred for dad.
The remaining three hundred is for mom!
Three general crabs, count dozens of claws.
A group of land eels. Sleeping in their rusty home.
So hurry up and reincarnate as a ghost beetle.
Perform a Brave Horns Charge.
To plant a blushing flower on the ugly face of the world!"
When Gu Chen used Ultra Vision, he also used Ultra Hearing.
So after hearing the song sung by this person, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Isn't this song "I Got Reincarnated as a Kabuto Beetle and Overturned the World"?
It turned out to be this song with anti-war meaning!
If this is the song, then the person sitting on this stone and singing could be...
After a careful look at this kind-hearted man dressed in strange Fontaine clothes, although he was dressed simply, his clothes were all red, he wore a tall hat on his head, and a monocle on his face!
Sure enough, this person is Dvorak!
It is said that he was trapped in Inazuma during the Inazuma War and witnessed the pain that war brought to people.
Now it seems that it is true.
Wait, if Gu Chen remembered correctly, the reason why Dvorak was able to survive during this period was because he was protected by the Puppy Chamber of Commerce.
This Puppy Chamber of Commerce is an unknown force that tried its best to protect and rescue civilians during the Inazuma War.
Moreover, Gu Chen also knew that behind this Puppy Chamber of Commerce were the Coral Palace of Haizhi Island and the Shogunate Society.
Tsk, I can’t comment, I have complicated feelings.
In this case, the ones maintaining order here and providing relief to these disaster victims are most likely the Puppy Chamber of Commerce!
I can only say that they are worthy of it.
Seeing this from afar and listening to that song from afar, Gu Chen's mood was so complicated that it was indescribable.
Retracting his gaze and hearing, looking at the respectful Kamisato Ayato in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh:
"In troubled times, human life is worthless..."
After hearing these words, a light flashed in Kamisato Ayato's eyes:
"Perhaps, even worse than a blade of grass."
Nodding noncommittally, Gu Chen then asked:
"So, what do you want me to do?"
With cold sweat on his head, Kamisato Ayato no longer bothered with those useless things.
He took two steps back and faced Gu Chen with great respect:
"Lord Gu Chen, please have mercy and stop this damn war! Then lift the isolation order and the eye hunting order!"
Looking at Kamisato Ayato quietly and thinking about his request, Gu Chen did not respond for a while.
At this moment, Gu Chen's thoughts were:
Kamisato Ayato is indeed a smart person, so smart that it is hard to like him.
In fact, what is the big difference between Gu Chen’s current treatment and Huang Mao’s treatment in the original game?
In the original game plot, Huangmao met Kamisato Ayaka in this Mulou Teahouse. Kamisato Ayaka asked Huangmao to help the three people whose Eye of God had been confiscated.
Through these three commissions, Huangmao truly felt the harm of Inazuma's national isolation order and the Eye Hunting Order, and also understood Inazuma's current disaster.
From then on, he felt compassion and wanted to help Kamisato Ayaka.
It was Gu Chen's turn. The person he met in the Mulou Teahouse was Kamisato Ayato.
And the way Kamisato Ayato asked Gu Chen to do so was to let Gu Chen see the lowest and most miserable people in Inazuma, so as to arouse Gu Chen's compassion, and then make his request.
I have to say that these two treatments are similar.
It must be said that Kamisato Ayato made a small plan against Gu Chen.
Although Gu Chen was plotted against, he was not too angry, but of course he was still unhappy.
Maintaining an unhappy mood and gently pinching the bridge of his nose, Gu Chen fell into a brief period of thought and silence.
In this silence, Kamisato Ayato was still kneeling there, pleading quietly.
Paimeng, who had been floating quietly beside Gu Chen, finally couldn't help but speak out:
"Gu Chen, what did you just see?"
Gu Chen shook his head slightly:
“It’s something… really bad.
It’s better for you not to know, Paimon.”
Because of the heart-wrenching sadness in Gu Chen's tone, Paimeng nodded sensibly and asked no more questions.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen made up his mind and looked at Kamisato Ayato in front of him.
Did you think he was going to intervene at this moment? Was he going to help Inazuma resolve the war and the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order?
No, Gu Chen is not that easy to talk to.
His answer to Kamisato Ayato was:
“The people at the bottom of Inazuma are really miserable and they really need someone to help them.
But I refuse!"
