The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 58 – Heavens

"Thanks." White Rabbit was the first to take the sour plum soup.

The others picked up a cup one after another.

Gao Yang took a sip, "It tastes good."

"Good that you like it." The boss lady smiled lightly, with a charming demeanor.

Several men were captivated and momentarily forgot the boss lady's gender.

"Enjoy your meal, everyone." The boss lady turned and left. It wasn't until she was far away that Officer Huang sighed, "What a terrifying Talent."

"Clap." White Rabbit snapped her fingers, "Alright, focus back, hold on a bit, and the class will be over after I finish."

"Please continue, teacher." Everyone was already immersed in the story, drinking the sour plum soup.

"A half-human who gathered all the Beasts in the village and broke the rules. Even if the police couldn't solve the case, they couldn't escape the punishment of the heavens."

Gao Yang was about to speak, but White Rabbit raised her hand to stop him, "I know what you want to ask."

"Heavens is just a commonly used term," White Rabbit pondered for a moment, "um, it is actually a general term for the rules, laws, and order of the world."

"A considerable number of Awakened Beings believe that this world, as well as the current relationship between humans and Beasts, the formation of various rules, is controlled by an invisible and powerful force. This force is like the 'Heavens' and 'Dao' mentioned by ancient people, without a standpoint, without emotions, incomprehensible, and cannot be violated."

"Of course, there are also a few Awakened Beings who believe that its state is closer to the cold and emotionless advanced artificial intelligence, a product of an advanced civilization that we cannot understand, and Rune circuits also come from this civilization."

"The above are the two mainstream speculations. In short, whether it's Heavens or advanced artificial intelligence, they have a strict set of rules for the Beasts. The most important one is that they must not attack unawakened humans. Once they attack, they will be punished, and this punishment is called the 'Divine Punishment.'"

"So the people in Ancient Village suffered Divine Punishment." Gao Yang understood.

"Yes," White Rabbit nodded, "according to our speculation, because the half-human bride killed someone, Heavens made the entire Ancient Village sink a kilometer underground, and the Beasts in the village have been repeating what they did for more than ten days endlessly. You can also think of them as being imprisoned. The hair monster is naturally trapped among them and can't escape."

"As for the Ancient Village on the surface, you can understand it as Heavens using a 3D printing technology to replicate an almost identical Ancient Village to replace the one that was sunk underground."

White Rabbit clapped her hands, "That's all, more or less. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask."

No one asked, and everyone was trying to digest this explosive information.

"Ah," Wu Dahai patted Chubby Jun's shoulder with a senior look on his face, "when I first learned about all this, I was just like you guys, completely shocked. But you guys still have a long way to go. Do you know what the Gate of Demise is? Do you know what the Crimson Tide is? You have a lot of catching up to do!""Alright, that's enough for today, take it slow." White Rabbit stood up, stretching lazily, "Enjoy your meal, I'm leaving first."

"Hold on," Gao Yang called out to White Rabbit, "One last question."

"Go ahead."

"What should we do now?" Gao Yang was somewhat confused.

"Well, this question..." White Rabbit rolled her eyes, "On a smaller scale, what you need to do now is to become stronger. This is a compulsory task for all Awakened Beings. The stronger you are, the lower the chance of being killed by Beasts, fellow beings, half-humans, mutated creatures, and other enemies. You'll also have a higher chance of surviving the next Crimson Tide."

Crimson Tide?

It sounded terrifying, but since White Rabbit mentioned it, it must be public information. He would find out more when he had the chance.

"On a larger scale, what all of us Awakened Beings need to do is to find the twelve Rune Circuits as soon as possible. In theory, gathering all the Rune Circuits can open the Gate of Demise. Most Awakened Beings, including our organization, believe that opening the Gate of Demise is the first step to dispelling the 'fog', and perhaps the most crucial one."

White Rabbit suddenly seemed a bit dispirited, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes, "But... it's too difficult."

"Are they hard to find?" Officer Huang asked.

"Yes, the appearance of the Rune Circuits is unpredictable, finding them all depends on Luck. But that's not the hardest part. After all, given enough time, we can gather them all." White Rabbit's voice turned colder, "The real challenge is deciding who to give the completed Rune Circuits to."

"Isn't there a..." Gao Yang searched for the right words, "leader among the Awakened Beings?"

"No way," Wu Dahai was still sitting with his legs crossed, "It's like a dragon without a head, warlords ruling their own territories, three kingdoms in a stalemate..."

"Although your idioms are a bit off, you've got the right idea." White Rabbit chuckled, "When the time comes, I'm afraid a full-scale civil war will break out among the Awakened Beings. A mathematician among us has created a risk assessment model. The model predicts that if that day comes, 94% of Awakened Beings will die in the civil war. In the end, a leader will emerge, leading the surviving Awakened Beings to open the Gate of Demise and move forward..."

"To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to that day." White Rabbit said with a wry smile, "After all, who can guarantee they'll be among the 6%, not the 94%?"

Gao Yang fell silent.

Officer Huang frowned.

Qing Ling remained expressionless.

Chubby Jun swallowed hard.

"What's there to be afraid of!" A hearty and loud voice rang out. Wang Zikai had woken up at some point. He stomped his foot on the barbecue table and shouted, "Within a year, I promise to defeat the Lizardmen, defeat the other organizations, open that damn gate, and lead you all to victory!"

Suddenly, the bustling barbecue restaurant fell silent. Dozens of customers put down their food and turned to look at Wang Zikai, who had stood up, and the people around him.
