Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2098 - A real evil place

Regarding Sun Wukong's suggestion, Chu Hao shook his head in disagreement.

"Although the truth of Jinping Prefecture has now been revealed, resolving it is not as easy as we might think."

Chu Hao said to Sun Wukong and the others.

In previous places, be it Fengxian County or Yuhua Prefecture, the Western Paradise employed violent exploitation, causing the people to suffer unspeakably.

Once the conspiracy of the Western Paradise was exposed, the people would naturally be filled with righteous indignation and stand up to resist the rule of the Western Paradise and its lackey government.

However, in this Jinping Prefecture, it's different. Although the Western Paradise employed a vicious conspiracy, they used a conciliatory policy in Jinping Prefecture.

Although countless people who were dissatisfied with the Western Paradise and resisted its rule were killed, those who obeyed the Western Paradise enjoyed a prosperous and carefree life, living what they considered a happy life.

Therefore, those people held no hatred towards the Western Paradise or the governor; on the contrary, they were extremely supportive and in favor of them.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Sun Wukong asked Chu Hao, somewhat puzzled.

"Although the Western Paradise is the mastermind behind this crime, and the governor and the three demons are the executing lackeys, these things could not have been done so flawlessly by them alone."

The governor killed countless people who were dissatisfied with the Western Paradise and resisted its rule. Even if he did it secretly, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes and ears.

Also, there's the Suhe lamp oil. The lamp oil is produced from corpses. From transporting the corpses to refining the lamp oil, and then the monks distributing it to the people.

How many procedures did it go through in the middle, and how many people directly or indirectly participated in it? They would all understand a certain amount of the truth to some extent.

How could there be no rumors or speculations? It's as if the people are completely unaware.

This situation itself is extremely abnormal, and there are only two possibilities.

First, the people of Jinping Prefecture are indeed a group of ignorant fools, unable to think and judge for themselves.

Second, the people of Jinping Prefecture actually know the truth, or at least most of them know the truth.

It's just that they have become accustomed to this beautiful life, numbed their minds in the superficial prosperity, and deliberately pretended to be ignorant.

"And of these two possibilities, the latter is a hundred times more likely than the former."

Chu Hao said to Tang Seng and the others with great certainty.

"So, the people of Jinping Prefecture know the truth, but they all choose to pretend to be ignorant for the sake of a prosperous life. Aren't those people too selfish?"

Tang Seng was somewhat disbelieving, because if that were the case, those people would all be a group of selfish and evil刁民 (troublemakers).

"That's right, those people understand the truth. We can testify to this.

It's just that the Suhe lamp oil can guarantee the safety of Jinping Prefecture and allow them to enjoy a prosperous life, so those people all choose to ignore this matter."

"Yes, those people are not good people either."

"I can testify. The amount of Suhe lamp oil transported is extremely large, and sometimes they even find people to help."

At this time, the three demons said to Chu Hao and Tang Seng and the others.

Their lives were now in the hands of Tang Seng and the others, so naturally, they did not dare to tell the slightest lie.

"In that case, the people of this Jinping Prefecture are all a group of selfish and self-serving troublemakers."

"They have been completely numbed by the prosperity before their eyes."

"This Jinping Prefecture is actually a land of sin."

Tang Seng and the others could only shake their heads and sigh, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Before, no matter what kind of fierce environment it was, at least the people were kind and simple, but the people in this Jinping Prefecture were all like this, as if there was no hope at all.

"Are we just going to let the Western Paradise do evil here, and be unable to stop it?"

Although those people were numb, indifferent, and selfish, if the Western Paradise was allowed to continue, who knows how many people would lose their lives.

"We must never allow the Western Paradise to do evil, but if we want to stop it, we also need to carefully plan and arrange it.

This time, the Western Paradise has adopted an extremely insidious strategy, and has not chosen direct means. Naturally, we cannot directly confront them either, as that would only put us at a disadvantage."

Chu Hao said to Tang Seng and the others. Hearing Chu Hao say this, Tang Seng and the others knew that Chu Hao already had a plan in mind.

Tang Seng and the others said to Chu Hao, asking Chu Hao to tell them his plan.

"To solve the problem of Jinping Prefecture, the main thing is to change the concepts and thinking of those people.

The reason why those people support and favor the Western Paradise is because they have already fallen into a prosperous life.

They are afraid that once they lose the protection of the Western Paradise, they will have no way to survive, and they are not completely numb and selfish.

The so-called 'no destruction, no construction.' If you want the people to change their concepts, you need to break the false prosperity built by the Western Paradise and make the people realize a fact.

The prosperous world built on evil is just an illusion, and it cannot last for long.

Let them get rid of their dependence on the Western Paradise in terms of concepts, and then things will become smoother for us."

Chu Hao told Tang Seng and the others his thoughts, and his plan was based on this.

"That makes sense, but how should we break the illusory prosperity created by the conspiracy of the Western Paradise?"

The Western Paradise has worked hard in Jinping Prefecture and has controlled everything here. It is difficult to break the situation with the strength of Chu Hao and Tang Seng and the others alone.

"There is an opportunity now that we can use. If used well, it will be enough to break this illusory prosperous world."

Chu Hao pointed to the direction of Jinping Prefecture City to Tang Seng and the others.

After Chu Hao reminded them, Tang Seng and the others understood.

Before they left Jinping Prefecture City, the Demon Clan launched an attack on the city, and the two sides fought fiercely.

"If we use the Demon Clan, we can indeed break the illusory prosperity of Jinping Prefecture in one fell swoop, but the strength of the Demon Clan is not dominant compared to Jinping Prefecture City."

Tang Seng said to Chu Hao while thinking.

The Demon Clan's previous attack on the city ended in failure. Although they have gathered strength this time, they are only evenly matched with the forces in Jinping Prefecture City.

It is still difficult to say whether they can break through Jinping Prefecture City. Once they fail, then things will be difficult to say.

"So, we must control the outcome of this battle. We are going back to Jinping Prefecture."

Hearing Chu Hao say this, Tang Seng and the others understood Chu Hao's meaning and couldn't help but smile.
