In the training room.
After hanging up Mu Qing’s call, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
He did not know Lu Changkong very well at first. He only knew that he was the founder of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.
However, his impact on history was not significant.
According to normal history, he would be killed by the owner of the fog in a few years and leave the stage of history.
This time, when he received Li Xingchen’s action plan, he went to find out more about Lu Changkong.
After checking the relevant information with his authority, he could roughly guess the reason why Lu Changkong betrayed humanity.
Mu Qing’s call just now confirmed this.
From Lu Changkong’s information, he couldn’t betray humanity. As an outstanding graduate of Winter Academy, his resume was very outstanding.
The battle records at the front line proved that Lu Changkong had a firm belief. He had sacrificed himself many times to block the attacks of domain creatures for his team members.
The most tragic time was when Lu Changkong carried a member and ran for a hundred miles in the domain field, almost losing his life.
Even so, he did not give up on his heavily injured teammates.
From this, it could be seen that his character was not bad. He couldn’t be controlled by a domain faction.
One could even say that, even if he chose to die, Lu Changkong would never betray humanity.
From the analysis of the information, Feng Qi felt that the only thing that changed Lu Changkong was his sister’s mysterious illness.
He suspected that when Lu Changkong’s sister was seriously ill, the black shadow faction had bewitched Lu Changkong to swear loyalty to them.
In the face of the righteousness of his family and the human race, Lu Changkong had chosen his family.
After reading the detailed information, Feng Qi immediately thought of Le Ping’an.
A similar situation had happened to Le Ping’an’s parents before. His parents had also made the same choice as Lu Changkong.
This method of manipulating people’s minds reminded him of the owner of the fog.
However, Lu Changkong’s betrayal had nothing to do with the owner of the fog. The black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute was the real culprit.
He even suspected that Lu Changkong’s sister’s serious illness was caused by the black shadow faction.
There were three reasons for his suspicion.
Firstly, after the calamity began, humans ushered in a new era with Spiritual Qi.
Despite the dangers prevalent in this era, the Spiritual Qi that meandered between heaven and earth was imperceptibly enhancing the physical prowess of individuals in the new era. Even those who never engaged in any form of practice were considerably stronger than ordinary athletes from 500 years ago. Secondly, he checked the medical records of Lu Changkong’s sister, Lu Xiaoli, when she was seriously ill.
The description of the illness given by the Future City Hospital at that time did not exist in history.
In other words, this was a brand-new case.
Thirdly, Lu Changkong’s sister was healthy before her sudden illness, but she deteriorated rapidly.
This was the most obvious.
Lu Xiaoli attended the No. 3 Middle School in Future City. Although the physical examinations in the middle school were not as frequent as in the academy, they were held every three months. The purpose was to test the strength of the students’ bloodline and other conditions.
It had only been half a month since Lu Xiaoli’s last physical examination.
Based on the three reasons, Feng Qi had reason to suspect that the black shadow had controlled Lu Changkong’s betrayal and led him on a path of no return.
As for why they chose Lu Changkong…
After Feng Qi checked Lu Changkong’s detailed information, he had a rough guess.
Lu Changkong’s personal growth experience was outstanding.
The outstanding graduates of the Winter Academy were only a part of his honor.
During his time at the front line, Lu Changkong was also known as one of the top 10 rookies in the supply area.
As long as he did not die in battle, there was a high chance that he would obtain the Medal of Outstanding Contribution in the future.
During that period, Lu Changkong was still growing rapidly. It was understandable that he was targeted by the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Lu Changkong did not disappoint the black shadow faction.
From scratch, he created the third combat team of the Science and Technology Research Institute, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, for the black shadow faction.
It was an elite combat team.
In the previous timeline, he was once the leader of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team. However, when he accepted the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, all the higher-ups were killed by the owner of the fog. Even so, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team was still very powerful.
After carefully analyzing the reason, Feng Qi could not help but sigh.
He sympathized with Lu Changkong, but he was in the wrong. He had to face the consequences.
This might also be the reason why Lu Changkong was unwilling to tell his sister the truth.
He was the covert guardian by his sister’s side, but he was also the executioner concealed within human society.
Contemplating this, Feng Qi questioned himself: faced with the same choice, what would he choose?
However, after hesitating for only a second, he could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
If he were in Lu Changkong’s position, given that he didn’t have a sister, he would substitute his parents’ revival for Lu Changkong’s decision when ’ confronting the black shadow faction.
Setting aside the question of whether the black shadow could genuinely resurrect his parents if he opted to betray humanity and bring his parents back to life, there was a significant likelihood that he would be condemned to death by his resurrected parents.
His parents would feel worse than death.
Hence, this question was essentially a hypothetical scenario with no definitive answer.
However, everyone thought about problems differently. He understood Lu Changkong, but he did not forgive him.
As for whether he could change Lu Changkong’s future, he gave up after careful consideration.
The owner of the fog could be saved not only because it could help human civilization rise rapidly but also because the owner of the fog in the main timeline had never harmed any humans.
However, at the same time, Lu Changkong’s hands were stained with the blood of many of his kind.
He had no right to forgive him on behalf of those who had died tragically at Lu Changkong’s hands..
