"Oh, I've wanted to eat first for a long time. Come on, let's go."
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Epps became excited and began to jump quickly in front of Yang Ming, wanting to lead the way. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned around and asked,
"Do you think I'm...like a human?"
Faced with this hesitation, Yang Ming was stunned for a moment. It was not that he had never thought about this issue before, but the key point was that he just blurted it out without realizing the change in the context.
"If a person can be judged as a human being in all aspects, then he can be regarded as a human being."
Yang Ming no longer cares about whether the logic is smooth. After all, at this stage, he can still use the excuse of needing to please the other party, and then added,
"You can be considered a human being in terms of appearance, way of thinking, and even genetics. Then at least in this world, I think you are a human being."
It is still necessary to set the qualifier clearly. In the spiritual space, the blue dragon is indeed a human being. There is no doubt about this, so the conclusion is still tenable.
Yang Ming was still looking for an explanation for his remarks, but Epps on the other side was already jumping for joy, but she couldn't control her height well, which was not something a girl with a small body like her could do.
"great!"
She quickly realized that something was wrong, and immediately landed normally from the air, using a very elegant posture, with a smile on her face, and said,
"I can finally be treated as a human being, great!"
"Why?"
Facing such excited Epps, Yang Ming asked doubtfully:
"Why are you so obsessed with this identity? Do you have a problem with your past identity?"
Prejudice against one's own race is a common reason for yearning for other alien races. This phenomenon also existed in human groups in the past. Many people chose to actively embrace those terrifying aliens that came from deep space and were unable to fight against them.
In today's terms, it is the so-called "integration". Although it is not surrender in the traditional context, but a desire for win-win cooperation with alien races, it just has a hint of admiration and envy and lacks true equality.
Therefore, their behavior in human society is often quite extreme, with the purpose of forcing other people who insist on resisting to bow their heads and obey, which will actually be more destructive than the invasion of the aliens themselves.
Fortunately, this situation was completely resolved when the human race was completely ruled by a single individual, even though she used an extremely cruel method - killing all the humans who talked about 'surrendering' to the aliens.
This is a statement in the context of a ruler. It seems that it cannot be completely biased towards one side now, and that emperor is the reincarnation of time who has now been reincarnated.
Let's wait until she actually faces her personal matters to discuss. Yang Ming's core purpose is to let the Reincarnation of Time assist him, so he doesn't care too much about these moral evaluations.
His thoughts returned to Lan Long. Since he had past memory experiences, Yang Ming had no special ideas about her concept. He just needed to find a suitable explanation.
"I think our dragon clan is too barbaric."
Epps replied nonchalantly,
"Warlikeness, self-centeredness, relying on force to solve problems, lagging development of scientific and technological civilization, and other factors all make me unhappy, so I hope to survive as a human being."
To be honest, these words can be used to describe humans in the past with the same description, especially during the reign of the Reincarnation of Time, which almost made humans the most brutal race in the universe, madly slaughtering all disobedient aliens.
And at that time, the focus was on the development of superpowers, so the level of science and technology did indeed regress. It was not until later when artificial intelligence began to take over human society that the direction gradually changed.
However, perhaps because she intentionally instilled specific knowledge into Blue Dragon, she didn't seem to be very clear about that period of history. In fact, many related war records during the Golden Age were deliberately obscured in subsequent reports on humans born with cultivation cabin technology, without revealing too much.
Content for ordinary people.
Yang Ming decided to acquiesce that Epps did not know many inside stories about the past. After all, this was the belief she relied on to survive. She could not destroy this fantasy at will, so she asked instead:
"But when I saw your sisters, although they were indeed domineering enough in fights, their styles in human form were quite in line with human standards."
"What?!"
Epps was very surprised and said,
"Have you ever met my sisters?"
Yang Ming sighed and replied helplessly:
"Now that things have happened, you don't really think that I am just an ordinary college teacher who happened to pass by your residence and then unconditionally comply with your request, do you?"
"Uh, indeed, indeed..."
Epps looked like he suddenly understood, and then suddenly said with a gloomy face,
"It turns out that you came prepared for approaching me. What is your purpose?"
The topic completely deviated in another direction, but this was what Yang Ming expected. He explained:
"I have mentioned before that I want to launch a resistance against the ancestor of magic, so now I am looking for people who are willing to help. I have fought against your phantom clone before. Naturally, I have also been in contact with your two sisters for a long time.
, they are now willing to cooperate and have joined my team."
"So that's it, huh, in the final analysis, that's all they are."
Epps turned his head to the side, his mouth bulged, and he said angrily,
"But I won't listen to you so easily."
"I know, that's why I try my best to meet your requirements in this spiritual space."
Yang Ming tried to get closer to her, but Epps backed away for some reason, so he added,
"You also promised me that as long as I can pass the trials of this world, you can provide me with help. Don't go back on your word."
It seems that some dialogue decision-making was wrong. Now Epps' favorability has obviously dropped a lot. He turned around and stared at Yang Ming and said:
"I know! I will do what I say, so be aware."
Then, as if he wanted to escape, he ran towards the kitchen. Something was wrong. This reaction was obviously that he had some unresolved knot in his heart and just wanted to sulk silently. If he continued like this, he would consume all the good impressions he had established before. He had to
Do something to remedy it.
Without much thought, Yang Ming strode forward as if out of instinct, grabbed her wrist, and pulled Epps by force. When she looked back blankly, Yang Ming said:
"You seem to have a lot of opinions now, are you against your sisters or me?"
