Chapter 617: Banana Evil, Not the Way (45)

Seeing Ku Cha Dashi looking troubled, Luan Po further affirmed his own heart: "Master need not worry. Mere flesh-and-blood pain cannot crush my Nin·Soul."

Following the master's instructions, Luan Po stepped into the mysterious vessel of Nin·Science, while Ai Dai Guanzhu continuously adjusted the various data beside him.

"Information dilution at 74%, consciousness anchor locked, meme recording about to commence."

The master said gravely: "Luan Po, Nin disciple, are you ready? The bewildering evil art the evil Nin used on you is about to be dispelled!"

Ai Dai Guanzhu whispered nearby: "Meme recording is about to start. Leave quickly, or we will also be affected."

Accompanied by the cold system startup sound, the world in Luan Po's eyes began to change.

The cabin wall melted like ice and snow in their eyes, replaced by a towering vermilion torii; in the distance stretched an endless path to the mist‑shrouded Nin Sect Temple. Skyscrapers of the Nin Nation began to appear, supplanting the glass‑backed rows of laboratory rooms.

"I… I have seen it! The Nin world indeed has such a magnificent capital city!"

Seeing Luan Po so excited, Ku Cha Dashi couldn't help but rejoice for them: "Great, it seems we've succeeded…"

"By the way, why ninjas?" Ai Dai Guanzhu asked, puzzled.

"It's the Galaxy Ninja Manual." Ku Cha Dashi turned to look at them.

"What is that?"

"To protect the helpless weak, to rescue the fallen Nin capital. Righteous Nin heroes hunt the evil Nin of the world!" Ku Cha Dashi sighed lightly, "— it's a comic. Ever since we sealed the institute to avoid the patrol sea rangers, the comic books I collect are the only entertainment they can obtain."

Spiritual energy at 100%.

"Comi—comic…?"

"So, the Nin Nation, Nin techniques, evil Nin that Miss Luan Po mentioned… never existed from the start; they were just hallucinations caused by the meme virus?"

The extra muttered to himself, feeling a bit dizzy. Although he had sensed something off ever since Ku Cha Dashi, a researcher, began, it wasn't until he saw that the so‑called 'Nin Nation' was merely a comic setting that his heart was filled with sorrow.

Miss Luan Po is truly pitiful…

"Well… although the ninja world Luan Po saw is fake, the principle of punishing evil is genuine." Ling Huan leaned against the chair back, looking earnestly at the 'Ku Cha Dashi', "Moreover, this master seems different from Ai Dai Guanzhu; he truly has a different feeling toward Luan Po, something like a father's affection."

"People aren't plants," Xiao Jiuwo shook her head lightly, "But in a lab like this, developing 'feelings' for one's test subjects makes him a freak—discarding all sentiment might let him live more easily."

"But if you discard sentiment… can one still be a 'person'? Even animals have basic feelings; these research apes have none, they really—"

The cup the extra had been holding in his hand suddenly "crack!" and shattered, splashing cold water everywhere.

"Ah! Sorry! Master, I—"

Realizing his blunder, the extra quickly bowed and apologized.

"One thousand yen, deducted from your evening snack." Ling Huan extended an index finger, a slight smile curling his mouth, "But since you voiced what I wanted to say, I'll reward you with another night snack this evening."

"No wonder Number Three is always crazy…" Ai Dai Guanzhu's eyes flashed with disdain and indifference, "I advise you to be careful, don't feed her useless knowledge. The coordinate system of intellect has only one horizontal axis; anything beyond that hinders progress."

"Especially the vulgar sense of good and evil, you still think the patrol sea rangers don't cause enough trouble? Such narrow thinking will never earn the Doctor's attention in this lifetime."

Ai Dai Guanzhu's speech left Ku Cha Dashi at a loss for words; he calmly fixed his gaze on Luan Po beside him, murmuring to himself.

"Is that so? Doctor… does he really care about us mortals?"

…

Time passed in the laboratory for an unknown duration; Xing, in the darkness, heard Ku Cha Dashi's puzzled voice.

"Hand over Number Three to Neng Ren 22? Why!?"

Research ape: "The answer is simple, you won't graduate. According to Neng Ren 22's report, you're steering the experiment in the wrong direction."

"No, let me find her and get a clear answer first!"

Ku Cha Dashi rushed out of the room, entered another laboratory, and saw Ai Dai Guanzhu gathering a group of research apes, delivering an impassioned speech.

"As all of you sages can see, the current universe is like a box of abandoned bananas. To save the realms that are rotting, humanity must retreat! Retreat! Retreat again! Restore infinite possibilities to civilization, letting intellect once more bloom with rainbow light!"

"Do not shy away from the harsh judgments of the world; a great undertaking always uses mortal dreams as firewood, and becoming firewood is blissful—rotted wood only attains its highest value when it burns."

"Let each person exhaust their talent, each thing its use! Everyone, we must let every monkey in the experiment understand this happiness, and burn together with them in bliss!"

Nezha's demon child rages at sea.

"Screw your mother's fart—!!"

A roar erupted from the cavern, and Nezha's anger made his hair stand on end, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes seeming to hold a blaze. He thrust his hand toward the sky curtain, as if to yank Ai Dai Guanzhu out of it.

"Burn other people's dreams as firewood? And turn everyone into brainless monkeys?! You crazy woman! Look, I won't skin you…"

His teeth chattered, as if he were about to charge straight at the sky curtain. What he despised most in daily life was this kind of scum who treats others like weeds and arbitrarily decides their fate!

To hell with the Original Doctor!

"Nezha! Calm down!" Ao Bing hurried forward, gripping Nezha's shoulder, "That's a scene from another world; we can't intervene."

"That infuriates me!" Nezha flung Ao Bing's hand aside, huffing as he plopped onto a stone bench, "What right do those guys have? I think each of them is truly delusional, claiming intellect… I see nothing but crap! If I could fly into the cosmic galaxy, I'd hunt that damn Doctor together with the patrol sea rangers!"

"So, we still have to diligently cultivate."

Taiyi Zhenren puffed his belly and leapt off the green stone, "When you finish cultivating, perhaps someday the patrol sea rangers will locate the Original Doctor, and you can lend a hand. But without cultivation, you can't even fly out of this sky. If the Original Doctor ever comes here to plague humanity… perhaps the world will once again be drenched in suffering."
