Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 133: Sophistry

Gu Yi was shocked by his roommate's perspective.

"Why are you so indifferent? Are you happy to watch the most important person in your life die before your eyes?"

"Don't be naive, my friend. What kind of place do you think it is? Think about it carefully, it's a place that can elevate you from being beneath everyone to being above all, a place where you can change your own destiny! If you study in Wapeng, once you leave, you can walk confidently among the commoners."

"I don't want my family's lives to be stepping stones for me. How are you any different from a beast?"

"Heheh...haha..."

Chen Zeyu burst into laughter, then turned and stared intently at Gu Yi.

"Brother, do you realize?

Even if you weren't in Wapeng High School, your parents have been sacrificing their own lives willingly to be your stepping stones, and you've been contentedly accepting it all along.

When you were born, your mother endured the greatest pain in the world, risking death from complications to bring you into this world.

As you grew up, your father worked tirelessly, overexerting his body day and night, just so you could grow up healthy and attend the best schools.

Maybe when you get married in the future, both your parents and your in-laws will empty all four of their wallets, helping you and your spouse buy a home of your own.

Haven't you always accepted all of this without hesitation?

Hey, my dear brother.

Who are you to judge me?

We're essentially the same."

Chen Zeyu turned and walked away.

Gu Yi couldn't see Chen Zeyu's expression at that moment. His worldview was crumbling bit by bit. He slumped in his chair, his mind a whirl of confusion.

He found that, for a moment, he couldn't find any reason to refute Chen Zeyu.

If I have a child someday...

If there really was such a school in the world where once you entered, you would 100% become superior to others.

If the price for the child to enter this school was sacrificing my own life, perhaps I would also agree without hesitation.

But...

What if, at this moment, the child was myself?

How could one allow their parents to give up their lives for one's success?

Gu Yi covered his face, unable to stand for a long time.

Despair approached step by step.

An invisible dark hand was slowly reaching for Gu Yi's throat.

......

"...We're essentially the same."

Inside the Real world.

Chen Zeyu's words echoed in the ears of every Dragon Country citizen through the live broadcast.

Qu Kangping sat in his seat, fidgeting with a lighter, shaking his head.

"This is clearly just sophistry. How does Gu Yi not know how to refute it? He's still too naive."

"Team Leader, why do I feel... like what he said made a lot of sense?"

"Bullshit, he's conflating ideas.

Parents selflessly dedicate themselves to their children, even willing to sacrifice their lives for them. It's undeniable, as every normal parent would do so for their child.

Similarly, every normal child loves their parents and would do everything in their power to repay them and ease their worries.

Because love is mutual.

Normal parents are willing to sacrifice their lives for their children, but this doesn't mean you can easily disregard their lives. No normal child would sacrifice their beloved parents for their own future.

In such a high-pressure situation, Gu Yi couldn't think of a counter-argument, and thus fell into a state of moral collapse. None of us could help him. If he couldn't figure it out himself, he would gradually lose himself until he was eroded by the weirdness.

Even now, he still places the responsibility of abandoning his family squarely on himself, forgetting that the actual culprits of all this are the despicable director and host."

Qu Kangping analyzed calmly.

Gu Yi is undoubtedly exceptional in decryption and taking risks, but when faced with a direct test of human nature, he lacks some experience.

After all, he's just a college student. When faced with the sophistry of NPCs, he's not as quick-witted.

Qu Kangping sighed deeply.

At that moment, an agent rushed into Qu Kangping's office, speaking rapidly, "Leader, the video conference is about to start."

"I know, I'll be right there."

Qu Kangping, unusually meticulous, dressed in a suit, put on a tie, and combed his hair perfectly. He sat in the center of the conference room surrounded by dozens of computers, connected to the leaders of strategy teams from several major countries.

"Hello, everyone, I am Qu Kangping, the leader of the Dragon Country's strategy team. Today's video conference is hosted by our Dragon Country."

Qu Kangping introduced himself with neither humility nor arrogance, his tiger-like eyes scanning the room.

Lighthouse Country remarked, "Let's skip the formalities, Team Leader Qu. Leave the bureaucratic details to the diplomatic department."

Qu Kangping replied, "Very well, let's dive straight into today's topic. First off, we've analyzed the texts written by Gu Yi. In this dungeon, he discovered some historical books in the dungeon which discuss the history of parallel worlds. I've sent the details to your respective email accounts in advance."

The leaders from various countries flipped through the materials in their hands.

Lighthouse Country: "Friend, we've also analyzed this, but we believe it's likely fabricated, a setup by the weird world to intensify the despair of adventurers."

Sakura Country: "We mustn't dismiss it, we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Qu Kangping: "Exactly, better safe than sorry. However, that's not our most pressing agenda. I have several other questions for Kimchi Country."

Kimchi Country: "Us?"

Qu Kangping: "Yes, your adventurer was the first to die. Have any new weird forces emerged within your country since?"

Kimchi Country: "Not yet. We also noticed this contradiction. Usually, the death of an adventurer means a failed mission and new weird forces would immediately emerge within our lands.

However, this time, despite the adventurer's death, the dungeon was considered cleared. Our citizens are now celebrating nationwide. I believe this abnormal national sentiment is the new weird force."

Sakura Country: "Could it be possible that your people are just taking pleasure in the misfortune?"

Kimchi Country: "Say that again?"

Lighthouse Country: "Enough, both of you, no quarreling here. Resolve personal issues privately. We're here only to discuss matters of the weird world."

Sakura Country and Kimchi Country both fell silent.

Lighthouse Country: "Team Leader Qu, do you have any other intel to share?"

Qu Kangping: "Indeed, something we mentioned in our last meeting. We've confirmed that the real world and the weird world have a mapping relationship.

Furthermore, this mapping might be global. We must intensify our efforts against Fanatics. Secondly, we need to control the barrage in the weird world. We've perfected the technology to pinpoint barrage senders, and I'm willing to share it with everyone for free..."

The team leaders from various countries were engaged in intense discussions.

Suddenly, the conference room door burst open.

Qu Kangping turned to see an agent, pale-faced and panting, "Team Leader, there's trouble. Our base is under attack by weird forces, they're targeting Gu Yi's family."

Qu Kangping quickly stood up, bowing apologetically to the group, "I'm sorry, we've had an unexpected situation here. We'll continue this discussion later."
