Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 285 You arrested him, why should I move aside?

The expressions of the crowd changed slightly, and even the usually calm Elhesen couldn't help but frown almost imperceptibly.

This guy seems to have suddenly become a different person; his desperate, frenzied struggle is terrifying.

With the Hive on the verge of collapse and facing the disciplinary officials' encirclement, simply bluffing would be utterly meaningless.

Unless, the other party has some unknown advantage.

Elhesen, Kavi, and Seno exchanged glances, and in that instant, the three of them tacitly reached a consensus.

In any case, we must take down the other party first; otherwise, things may change.

With the simultaneous attacks of Leaf-Cutting Light, Crimson Sand Staff, and Iron-Ornamented Flower, the generated arcs of electricity and leaf light tore through the air, carrying the elemental forces of grass and lightning towards Sirage.

Strangely, despite the three men's fierce attacks, Siraj did not dodge or evade, but instead curled up a cold smile.

The next moment, two figures suddenly flashed out from the beehives on the side, blocking Siraj's path with unimaginable speed, seemingly ignoring the impending attack.

In an instant, the distance between the elemental attack and the two people rapidly decreased, and it seemed that they would collide head-on in the next second.

Elhesen and the others' pupils suddenly contracted, and with no other choice, they could only try their best to deflect the direction of the attack at the last moment.

In the blink of an eye, three streams of elemental energy narrowly missed the edges of the two figures before violently crashing into the mountainside behind them, sending up a spray of dirt and rocks.

For a moment, the entire cave shook slightly, and the numerous "beehives" teetered on the verge of collapse.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, everyone was able to clearly see the faces of the two people who had suddenly rushed out.

Aside from another unfamiliar scholar, it was Elias, who had just entered the hive and disappeared without a trace.

"Ilias?! Are you out of your mind! You..."

Kavi, still shaken, was both shocked and furious, but the words of questioning caught in his throat before he could even utter them.

Elias before me was expressionless, his empty gaze unfocused, staring blankly into the distance, his movements stiff, like a puppet being manipulated on a stage.

The young man ignored Kavi's angry questions and didn't even notice the explosion.

Not only him, but another scholar beside him was the same, like two soulless walking corpses.

Everything was normal just now, how could this be...? Could it be that...?

Recalling Siraj's recent actions, a terrible thought involuntarily surfaced in Kavi's mind.

He turned to look at Elhesen, and apart from Seno, who was unaware of the situation, both of them saw the answer in each other's eyes.

In an instant, shock, astonishment, disbelief, and anger alternated across Kavi's face.

Siraj seemed pleased with the crowd's reaction; he laughed maniacally, his eyes bloodshot.

"Hahahaha, that's right, that's exactly the expression! That gentleman was absolutely right!"

The young man's laughter stopped abruptly, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

“Elheisen! Although you remain as arrogant and ignorant as ever, I must admit you are right about one thing.”

"Human nature is the foundation of inequality; therefore, to fully unleash the potential of a 'cluster,' all aspects of humanity must be extinguished, making it 100% obedient to commands!"

“I didn’t lose to you, Elhesen! Nor to Elias, I lost to my own mercy!”

Siraj slammed one hand on the main control panel of "The Hive," almost roaring as he vented his resentment.

"That gentleman pointed this out long ago, but it's laughable that I still have unrealistic fantasies about human nature."

"Self-interest, greed, and jealousy—these are all obstacles to integrating into the 'cluster'! If humanity wants to evolve, to transcend the cluster, it must discard these useless emotions!"

Siraj paced back and forth in a frenzied manner, muttering to himself, completely ignoring the group of discipline officers in front of him.

Then, he suddenly regained his composure in a strange way, a mocking sneer appeared on his lips, his expression was distorted, and his tone was cold.

"However, it's not too late to realize this now."

Siraj stepped forward abruptly, and two unconscious bodies automatically moved forward, mechanically spreading their arms to firmly protect him from the attack threats of Elhesen, Seno, and the others.

He looked defiantly at the group of disciplinary officers who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy, a mocking smile playing on his lips, as if to say:

Aren't you self-proclaimed righteous disciplinary officials? Then why don't you attack me over the corpses of these scholars?

For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma, weapons in hand.

After all, not everyone has the "awareness" of "You arrested him, why should I move aside?"

"Siraj! You...you're a complete madman! What did you do to Elias and the others! You bastard!"

Kavi's anger was palpable, but standing on the platform, Siraj merely glanced at him with disdain.

"Ha, bringing destabilizing elements into the hive only destroys his consciousness, allowing his thoughts to continue contributing a little more energy within the hive. I have been merciful enough to him."

Then, Siraj's cold gaze swept over the scholars in the hive, their eyes filled with terror, a hint of ruthlessness in his expression.

"As for you... my patience has run out. You should feel honored to be the cornerstone of the group's progress, but unfortunately, you have tarnished that honor."

"The 'cluster' only needs one controlling consciousness, so let your knowledge and abilities sacrifice itself for its rebirth!"

Siraj laughed wildly, and everyone's expression changed instantly, even Elhesen's face darkened slightly.

Elias's body blocked Siraj's path, and they, fearing for their own safety, were unable to stop the other side's actions.

The trolley problem has once again loomed large before everyone's eyes.

Stopping Siraj would inevitably risk injuring Elias and his companion, but if their safety were to be ensured, the lives of all the scholars present would be in Siraj's hands.

Soon, faced with death, many scholars broke down on the spot, their cries and curses filling the entire cave.

Elhesen's hawk-like gaze was fixed on Siraj's movements. Seno held the Crimson Sand Staff, his body tense. Under these circumstances, he could only look for an opportunity to kill with one blow.

Only if Siraj is brought under control will things take a turn for the better.

Siraj naturally sensed Elhesen's intentions. He sneered and retreated behind Elias.

"Elheisen, you hypocritical scoundrel, let me see just how determined you are to stop me!"

Elhesen's pupils contracted, and the next moment, Siraj's hand pressed down on the control panel of "The Hive" without hesitation.
