The truth is often cruel, wrapping the rotten essence in the sugar coating of lies.
Li Chenxi already understood this cruel truth when he was three years old.
The bad guys who exiled her to an uninhabited island didn't know that a three-year-old girl who was born with intelligence had been pretending to be comatose and had seen their crimes from beginning to end.
The isolated island left in the sea does not actually exist in the human world, but is in a trial place. It is just a trial place with extremely easy difficulty for training novices, but for a three-year-old For my children, it was like hell.
And in this trial place, the island she is on is not the only one. There are thousands of similar islands in the trial place.
Therefore, she was not the only child who was exiled to the isolated island at that time. There may be hundreds, perhaps thousands, or even tens of thousands, but these children all have one thing in common, they are all orphans.
This plan to place thousands of orphans on an isolated beast island in the trial area, leaving them alone to fend for themselves, and screening talents in such an extreme way, is called the "Orphan Plan."
When the "Orphan Project" was launched, her mother, who was her only relative, died of illness. Although she was a descendant of the Li family without a father or mother, she was just a marginal clan member, so unfortunately she was rushed to gather the number of people for execution. Or, selected as the goal of the plan.
The most ironic thing is that the force that started this plan was the Li family. The original purpose was to cultivate a group of "outstanding" killers. If three or four-year-old children can survive alone for three years on an isolated island full of crises, The "abnormality" of his ability and will can be imagined. No matter how many children are sacrificed, as long as a dozen or even a few excellent seedlings can be left behind, it is worth it. Who said these children are just cheap or even free? Where are the adopted orphans
However, contrary to expectations, this plan was too whimsical after all. After three years of laying it out, when the Li family was preparing to "harvest", they discovered that among thousands of orphans, only a six-year-old girl had survived.
But what made the proposer of the plan, the old patriarch of the Li family, extremely happy was that this six-year-old girl turned out to be a bloodline of the Li family. Although she was only a child of a collateral clan, she was "accidentally" included in the orphan project. The little girl’s body indeed has the blood of the Li family flowing through her body.
As the only survivor, the little girl's value is far higher than previously expected, and having the blood of the Li family has qualitatively changed her destiny.
After briefly testing the results of the little girl's three-year survival on the island, the old patriarch seemed to see a more glorious future for the Li family in her.
The follow-up plan to train the little girl to be a killer was immediately overturned. The old patriarch even adopted the little girl on the spot and claimed to have found his lost grandson.
Maybe it was a whim, or maybe it was a desperate move because the heir was too mediocre. After thinking hard for a long time, the old patriarch decided to train this little girl who could survive alone on an isolated island for three years as his successor. He even deceived the outside world about this. her gender,
The above is the cruel truth, and it is also the truth that Li Chenxi has always been familiar with.
But the old patriarch, who mistakenly believed that the orphan plan was implemented perfectly, did not know that the little girl had already known the truth. The lies he carefully weaved were the gorgeous "sugar-coating" that wrapped the rotten truth.
The "reapers" dispatched to the isolated island disguised themselves as rescuers, claiming that what happened to her was the result of the hostile forces of the Li family. They never gave up the search and rescue of her, and it took three years to finally find her.
The old patriarch told her in tears that her father was actually his illegitimate son and she was his granddaughter. He then explained that all the successors in the family were mediocre and hoped that she would disguise herself as a man and serve as the successor to the next generation of patriarch. Work hard.
The six-year-old girl could only watch the old patriarch's exaggerated performance with a blank expression, and sneered silently in her heart.
If she didn't know the truth, she might be grateful to the old patriarch and the Li family, and become the most loyal member of the Li family.
However, even after she turned six, she was treated like the heir of the Li family, and the old patriarch treated her like his own granddaughter, giving her an enviable growing environment, but she still would not let down her guard.
Because she knew very well that all this was just an illusion that could be shattered at any time.
If she doesn't work hard enough, her talent isn't strong enough, and she can't show the value of a "successor", then everything she has now will be lost, and the old patriarch will put away all his kindness and kindness.
But fortunately, she was focused on working harder than anyone else, and her talents were unprecedented. Her value far exceeded the expectations of the old patriarch.
The withdrawn character created by living on an isolated island for three years is naturally tolerated. She does not need to cater to anyone, nor does she need to attend family gatherings. She does not even need to deliberately play the role of the granddaughter of the old patriarch. She only needs to be alone and constantly The land becomes stronger and more dazzling, becoming the worthy successor of the Li family.
Although everything he owns is based on lies, it cannot be denied that such a life is very beautiful.
However, after seeing through the lies, seeing clearly the deception, and understanding what human nature is, it still left the root of the disease in the six-year-old girl's heart.
Li Chenxi has had mysophobia since she was six years old.
... ...
Mysophobia is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which means that things within the normal hygiene range are considered dirty, feel anxious, and compulsively clean, inspect and reject "unclean" things.
Li Chenxi's mysophobia is quite special. There is only one kind of "unclean" thing that she rejects - human beings.
She doesn't want to get close to anyone, and doesn't allow anyone to get close to her. Just like a mysophobic patient who can't stand a little dust, once someone comes close to her, she will feel sick from the bottom of her heart.
Li Chenxi knew that she was not normal. Whether she was "inaudible" or "rejected human beings", these were very serious mental illnesses, but she never thought about changing because she was used to being alone, and used to having only plants, trees and stones. An uninhabited world of birds and animals.
Until this moment, she finally realized that it wasn't that she didn't want to change, but that she had no way to change. It wasn't that she couldn't hear, it was just that human voices could no longer be conveyed, it wasn't that she couldn't get close, it was just that the ugliness of human nature could no longer be heard from her. Wipe your insides clean.
But this is not inevitable.
Because, a young man named Shi Xiaobai broke the inevitable that she thought she could not change.
He made her hear the voice.
When faced with absolute power, he not only did not flinch, but instead strengthened his persistence in victory, and used all his strength to strike the last sword without regrets, which revealed the most beautiful glory in human nature.
He is special, different from everyone else.
If it's him, that's fine.
She mustered up the courage to take the initiative to approach him, and as expected she didn't feel sick. She held him in her arms despite being ashamed, but she didn't feel repulsed at all. She even gradually recalled the warm memory of sleeping in her mother's arms before she was three years old.
This feeling is beautiful, warm, and irresistible.
But how long can this feeling last
For the first time, she understood what "worrying about gains and losses" means.
"Oh, you really are... not human, are you?"
Li Chenxi murmured in a low voice, but regretted it as soon as he said it.
Shi Xiaobai clearly said that they could talk about anything, but she was confused unconsciously because she had forgotten what kind of topics would usually start a casual chat.
You are indeed not human.
Li Chenxi never expected that he would be so foolish as to start a conversation with such a topic that ruined the atmosphere. This was simply the worst possible move.
"calm down."
"Anyway, change the subject quickly."
Li Chenxi quickly changed his somewhat stiff thoughts, but unexpectedly, Shi Xiaobai's suddenly excited voice came to his ears.
"I didn't expect you to realize this so quickly, clever girl, of course I am not a human being!"
When Li Chenxi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his body suddenly stiffened.
Hey, hey, what kind of strange development is this
So he's not human at all
Is it because he does not possess an ugly human nature that he was able to overcome his mysophobia and muster up the courage to approach him
This is not true, is it
"So... you are actually... really the demon king of the seventh world?"
Li Chenxi tried to calm down, but she realized helplessly that she had never been able to tell which of Shi Xiaobai's words was the truth and which was a lie.
Shi Xiaobai's reaction once again exceeded her expectations. He suddenly laughed with disdain, and then sneered slightly: "The demon king of the seventh-level world? Please don't compare the mentally retarded gods and demons of this world with me. The real gods and demons, any soldier can sweep away the gods and demons in this world. But this king is a more supreme existence than the real gods and demons. "
"Listen up, my true identity is... the King of Kings! Whether it is the King of Humans, the King of Gods, the King of Demons, or the kings of thousands of worlds, they all have to deal with me. The king bowed his head and proclaimed "my king". This king created good and evil, and ruled the justice and evil in thousands of worlds. Because of my existence, the war between justice and evil was stopped. Because this king stepped on Only after the ambitions of the kings were suppressed did thousands of worlds usher in peace."
The boy's voice gradually became excited. Li Chenxi was stunned for a while by Zhong Er's full words. After slowly calming down, she realized that this statement was not credible at all. She was so funny that she thought about whether it was true. of.
Li Chenxi found it a bit funny, but not annoying, and couldn't help but joke, "Then I accidentally beat the king of kings to the point where he couldn't even speak. Could it be that my identity is not simple?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt Shi Xiaobai's head on his shoulder shaking from side to side, and then heard him snort softly and said: "Innocent girl, this king was just plotted by the kings of the world. The Saint of Kings His body was destroyed, his immortal soul was sealed with thousands of seals, and he had to be reincarnated into a mortal body. His true strength was imprisoned. My current strength is only one trillionth of the original strength. , Of course, it is something to be proud of that you can tie with my king’s strength, which is one trillionth. You are one of the few true geniuses among human beings.”
The tone of his vow was as if everything he said was true, but they were all lies that seemed absurd upon hearing them.
One part in a trillion. Does he know how many zeros there are in the number he said
It was obvious that the dialogue was so over-the-top, but for some reason, Li Chenxi gradually relaxed, and the previous feeling of not knowing what topics to create completely disappeared.
What he said about a casual chat was really casual. It was so casual that she felt like she couldn't hold on to anything, but she also felt like she could let go of everything.
"Since you have been reincarnated into a mortal body, are you a human being now?"
First, confirm his self-setting, and then naturally ask the questions that you are still concerned about.
Li Chenxi thought so in her heart, and actually felt that her "careful plan" had an indescribable pleasure.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling with how to answer, and finally sighed: "This king is... for the time being... a human being."
"temporary!"
When he admitted that he was a human, his tone dropped sharply, but he immediately emphasized the word "temporarily" again in an emphatic tone. Although he couldn't see his face, his mind naturally imagined what that delicate face would look like. expression.
That must be very cute.
Li Chenxi finally held back her laughter. She felt that her body had become very light for no reason, as if she was in a sea of clouds, floating in the sky.
Ah, such a ridiculous joke, why do you want it to continue so much.
"So King of Kings, who will take back his throne sooner or later, when you sit on the throne of good and evil again, what is the first thing you want to do?"
Li Chenxi felt that she was strange, but she did not reject him. She even cooperated with his "performance" and catered to his topics, which actually made her feel happy.
There is no need to deliberately make the topic light or heavy, but just let it go naturally, follow his footsteps, listen to the words he wants to say the most, and talk about the topics he is most willing to continue. Everything is already so beautiful.
Oh, she is hopelessly stupid.
However, the voice of Shi Xiaobai that came to her ears was obviously much more exciting than ever before, making her feel again that it didn't matter even if she was a little bit stupider, because the voice she had always wanted to "hear" was just like this. A voice that is full of itself, unique and never follows the crowd.
"What is the first thing you want to do after regaining the throne?"
The young man fell into deep thought and considered this issue very seriously, so seriously that she almost took it seriously. After a moment, Shi Xiaobai finally spoke softly: "I will redefine the concepts of good and evil. What is true? Both humans and gods and demons have been confused about what is good and what is real evil. They have always used their own judgment to draw wrong conclusions, and even committed evil crimes in the name of good. And correct and give the most correct The answer is to make good and evil clear, which is what I want to do most."
Li Chenxi was stunned for a long time, chewing on Shi Xiaobai's answer with a somewhat complicated mood.
If this were a short-answer question on a test, then the vast majority of test takers would answer "revenge the kings who once plotted against them" or "suppress the ambitions of the kings again and restore the original peace to thousands of worlds", because this is the answer is the answer that best fits the scenario.
But Shi Xiaobai's answer sounded a little too real, as if this was not a simple question with a strange setting, as if he was really considering the answer to the question from the perspective of the king of good and evil, as if he really was thinking about the answer. He was once the king who controlled good and evil.
What's going on with this weird illusion
Li Chenxi slowly exhaled and whispered: "So, in your opinion, what is real good and what is real evil?"
"I, the king, don't know either."
Shi Xiaobai sighed softly and said: "When good and evil were born, it was this stupid king who defined such vague and ambiguous good and evil. For a long time, I always thought that my definition of good and evil was Correct, it was not until a human asked me a question that I realized my mistake. Just when my belief was shaken, I was plotted by the kings. In fact, part of the reason why I reincarnated into a human being was precisely To find real answers.”
The topic suddenly became heavy.
But it seems that Shi Xiaobai is not just stringing together a fictional absurd story, but wants to express some of his own thoughts.
This might be an opportunity to get to know him better.
Li Chenxi suddenly became a little nervous. She hesitated for a while and asked, "What question did that human ask you?"
The young man's head resting on her shoulder moved slightly again, but he spoke softly without thinking, as if the question that made the King of Kings realize his mistake was real and not just made up on the spur of the moment.
"The God of Creation who created mankind placed a curse on a certain young man one day. It was a curse that would cause pain all over the body when seeing a sad person."
Shi Xiaobai began to talk about the question that changed Wang Zhi's fate.
“The young people, in order to avoid their own pain, reached out to all those who were grieving.”
"Not long after, the God of Creation copied the young man and made a fake."
"The replica has no will and takes the same actions as the real youth and reaches out to all those who are grieving."
"Creation God gave the young man and the fake a name respectively. One is named 'goodness' and the other is named 'hypocrisy'."
"Which one do you think is good and which one is hypocritical?"
It’s not a complicated story, but its moral is very simple, and what’s even more complicated is the last question.
The young man who lends a helping hand to all those who are sad, and the fakes created by the God of Creation who copied the youth, who was named "good" by the God of Creation, and who was named "hypocritical"
There are only two answers, and this is a multiple-choice question.
Even if you tell the answer intuitively, there is a 50% chance of being correct.
If you want to continue the conversation faster, then it may be the best choice to directly tell the answer that flashes through your mind. But this time, Li Chenxi did not rush, but started thinking seriously.
It would be nice to be able to listen to his voice, his thoughts.
But this is not enough to satisfy her. She does not need much, but once she needs it, she will not be easily satisfied.
Blindly listening and catering do not constitute "chatting".
Now, it's her turn to make her voice heard!
"First, young people are real, and fakes are fakes created by copying young people. It can be said that one is real and the other is fake. Second, young people lending a helping hand to all those who are sad is undoubtedly a kind deed, but fakes are not. The good deeds done by self-will are just pure imitation. Therefore, young people are named 'goodness' and fakes are called 'hypocrisy', which is probably the most logical answer."
Li Chenxi suddenly wanted to move back some distance and take a look at the boy's expression and eyes, but she knew that doing so at this time was a "foul", so she had to resist the impulse.
"So, is this your answer?"
Shi Xiaobai was silent for a while and said softly.
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Chenxi's mouth involuntarily, because Shi Xiaobai said this in her best emotionless tone, obviously not wanting her voice to reveal any effective information.
What a strict examiner.
She shook her head slowly and said softly: "Although it is the most logical answer, it is not my answer, let alone the real answer. Because the pursuit of logical 'goodness' is exactly a kind of complete 'hypocrisy'. "
"Um."
Shi Xiaobai snorted and whispered: "Continue."
Li Chenxi nodded and slowly said: "Although the young man extended a helping hand to everyone, the reason why he did so was because he was cursed by the Creator God. He did good deeds to avoid his own pain. Although he Doing good deeds but doing it for yourself is undoubtedly a kind of hypocrisy.”
"The fake is different. He has no self-will and simply copies the behavior of the young man. Extending a helping hand to everyone is part of his existence. It is an instinctive behavior without any pursuit of personal interests. Therefore, he is extremely pure and good."
"Youth are hypocrites, fakes are true and good, this is my answer!"
After finishing his answer in one breath, Li Chenxi immediately pushed Shi Xiaobai away from his arms, stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, and kept a certain distance while keeping his eyes parallel to hers.
Sure enough, those black eyes were still so bright and dazzling, shining with the brilliance of stars in the dark night sky.
"Now, my answer is correct, right?"
Although he already saw the answer he wanted from his expression, he was still eager to get real confirmation.
Shi Xiaobai looked at her for a moment, then suddenly grinned, "That's how I answered that human being back then. You and I gave almost the same answer."
Li Chenxi was not surprised by the correctness of the answer, but she still felt a little happy when she heard the result. She couldn't tell whether it was because she was happy because the answer was correct, or because she had the same answer as the boy.
Hey, is the answer correct
Li Chenxi suddenly thought of something and said, "After you answered, what was the human's answer? Are my and your answers correct?"
Li Chenxi was keenly aware that Shi Xiaobai only mentioned that their answers were the same, but did not directly answer whether her answer was correct.
Sure enough, Shi Xiaobai's expression suddenly became serious. He looked into her eyes and said, "That human didn't give an answer. Instead, he questioned me."
Li Chenxi said in astonishment: "Question?"
Shi Xiaobai paused for a moment, as if he wanted to create a sufficiently flattering atmosphere, and then said meaningfully: "The reason why fakes can purely do good is because they have no self-awareness at all, and they don't think for themselves. Youth He extends a helping hand to everyone, but is called hypocritical because the good deeds he does are self-interested and the starting point is for himself. But the fundamental reason is that after all, the young man has self-awareness and knows how to think for himself. Shanhe The difference between hypocrisy and hypocrisy actually lies in whether the motivation of the person doing good is self-interest."
"Then let me ask, can human beings with self-awareness really achieve pure goodness?"
"Human beings are not machines. They have self-awareness. Even if they do good deeds at the expense of their own interests, they cannot be selfless because he or she can obtain psychological satisfaction, and psychological satisfaction is also a self-interested benefit. It is only about psychological needs and It’s just sacrifice and gain of material benefits.”
"For example, a young man sacrificed his life to save a hundred people. Why did he do this? Because in his heart, 'saving a hundred people' was greater than 'saving himself'. After his own thinking, he did He made the choice he thought was the most correct. He did it not only for the one hundred people, but in fact it was also for himself, because the person who chose was himself. Of course, there were also cases where he wanted to choose to 'save himself', but ended up doing it. The act of "saving a hundred people", in this case, his choice was obviously forced and not out of his own will. However, thinking about it from another angle, he has actually made a choice between 'acceptance' and 'resistance' After making a choice, his actions still belong to his own will!"
"To sum up, it is impossible for human beings to be purely good, because human beings have self-awareness, human beings can make choices, and the choice itself is a self-interested behavior! Therefore, human beings' 'goodness' should not be called ' 'Goodness' should be called 'Hypocrisy'!"
"Hypocrisy. When 'hypocrisy' is greater than 'good', it actually becomes 'evil'! When human beings use the name of good to satisfy their own will and use the name of good in their own choices, then 'good' It becomes a weapon to cover up 'selfishness', isn't it a disguised form of 'evil'?"
"Imagine that a young man reaches out to a sad person because of a curse. If he meets a sad person who cannot be redeemed, he has been suffering from the pain of the curse, but no matter how hard he tries, he cannot save the other person from the abyss of sadness. Then the rescue is ineffective, What will young people do in order to stop causing themselves pain? Young people will most likely erase the sad person who cannot be saved to save themselves! Because when 'hypocrisy' is forced into a desperate situation, it will unscrupulously transform into 'evil'. "
"Humans are divided into good and evil, but how are they divided? Human beings cannot be purely good at all. At most, they are hypocritical. Even if they are hypocritical, the difference between them and evil is just a matter of degree."
"So, can 'good and evil' really define human behavior?"
"Does the concept of 'good and evil' really have any meaning for human beings?"
"Is 'good and evil' a cage that imprisons 'original sin', or is it a shackle that imprisons 'self'?"
"Although you are the king who created 'good and evil', but I want to ask, are what you created the real 'good and evil'?"
Shi Xiaobai's expression was extremely complicated. When he recited each question, it seemed as if he was not just telling the story in his memory, but also questioning himself again.
Ending the monologue of "that human being" with a long silence, and looking at those ice-blue eyes quietly for a long time, Shi Xiaobai sighed softly and said: "This is 'that human being' using a second The chosen question and answer question to this king is also the last words of 'that human being'..."
Li Chenxi was slightly startled and asked, "Did you kill him?"
Shi Xiaobai slowly shook his head, "It was not me, but 'good and evil' who obliterated him. Although 'good and evil' are not life, they are eternal laws that transcend life. They were created by me, without thought, and follow He followed the rules, but he was surprisingly very 'personalized'. He was extremely angry at the provocation of 'that human being', so he completely obliterated his existence."
Li Chenxi laughed and said: "Is there a law of 'personality'? What a fresh and interesting statement. If I guess correctly, you don't agree that the human's question is to sow discord, so that you question the law of 'good and evil', and even With the idea of 'modifying' it, that's why the king's position will be shaken, right?"
Shi Xiaobai raised his brows slightly and nodded: "Well, you guessed it right. I didn't expect you to understand what I said so quickly and correctly analyze the meaning of my words. Chatting with you is really a treat. Pleasant things.”
"Each other."
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Chenxi's mouth. At this time, she was clearly handsome like a teenager, but her smile had the youthful charm of a girl. In addition to her cold temperament, she had always been expressionless, and she also wanted to perfectly cover up her feminine appearance. The reason for the fact that she was pretending to be a man, but in front of Shi Xiaobai, she almost took off her guard, and of course she didn't care about the emotions that had always been tightly sealed revealed on her expression.
But the smile didn't last long. Li Chenxi's expression suddenly became serious. She looked into Shi Xiaobai's eyes and said seriously: "I'm just a person who listens to stories. I shouldn't talk too much, but since it's a 'chat', I think I shouldn't hide my true thoughts. It is true that the human question is interesting, and the questions that followed seem reasonable, but is there any other reason for questioning the laws I created? "
"That human question has some basis, but in fact it is more of a strong argument. The words 'good and evil' alone are certainly not enough to define complex human nature, but we must question whether 'good and evil' have any meaning for human beings. Isn’t it a bit far-fetched?”
"The conjecture about young people's transformation from 'hypocrisy' to 'evil' is ultimately a conjecture, and there is a problem of probability. It can only be said that there is a high probability that young people will kill the sad people who cannot be saved in order to save themselves from pain. But there is still a very small probability that the young man endured the pain until the end and did not give up his efforts. At this time, it can be considered that the young man has sublimated from 'hypocrisy' to pure 'goodness'."
"Human beings do have self-awareness and can make choices independently when faced with many multiple-choice questions in life. This is certainly a self-interested behavior. But if they are forced to make choices against their will, then the self In fact, consciousness does not play a role at all. 'That human being' said that he can make independent choices of 'acceptance' and 'resistance' when forced, and he can also engage in 'self-interested behavior' when forced. Doesn't it increase the concept of 'self-interested behavior' and exaggerate it? Does the existence of 'selfish behavior' dig the definition of 'selfish' too deep?"
"All in all, I think part of that human question is worth pondering, but it is not enough to shake your will. I think you can also see the clues I can see, so I want you to question the law of 'good and evil' Is the reason not that simple? Or..."
Li Chenxi suddenly stopped when she said this. In fact, what she wanted to say was, "Maybe because I was too hasty to write the story, I didn't think of this loophole?" However, in order to continue to communicate "happily", she still had to acquiesce. Everything Shi Xiaobai said is true. This story does have many flaws, but if she questions the story itself, she is afraid that there will be a dispute. She hopes to understand Shi Xiaobai's thoughts through conversation, rather than understanding Shi Xiaobai. His talking skills.
Of course, by so directly revealing the loopholes in "that human question" fabricated by Shi Xiaobai, she didn't just want to speak frankly about her thoughts. In fact, she also wanted to see Shi Xiaobai's coping ability. When many loopholes are found in the fictional story, how long does it take for him to think about it before he can further justify it.
But what surprised Li Chenxi again was that Shi Xiaobai responded almost as soon as she finished speaking.
Shi Xiaobai chuckled and said: "I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you were not only listening to the story, but also thinking about the story so thoroughly from God's perspective. You are right, I will question the law of 'good and evil' It is indeed not that simple. In fact, after the death of 'that human being', I suddenly went to the human world on a whim. For me, the highest level of existence, the human world is like an ant's cave, which I will never set foot in. But this After a trip to inspect the human world, I discovered the mistakes I had made all along."
"In the human world, I have seen many unreasonable situations. Children who steal food for their hungry mothers are regarded as 'villains' and beaten to death; murderers are tortured by chopping them into sticks and exposing them to death. It was regarded as a 'good deed' by the people; out of compassion, the rich lady gave a beggar ten taels of gold, but the beggar was found guilty. Not only was the gold stolen by the thugs, but the beggar was also beaten into a disability. In fact, he did an 'evil deed'; a certain king launched a war for his own ambition, resulting in the death of countless people. If the invasion succeeds, it will be praised as a great 'good deed'. On the contrary, once the invasion fails, it will be reviled as The 'evil king' of all eternity..."
"There are too many such unreasonable things. 'Good and evil' are often distorted and misunderstood in the human world, and even the right and wrong are confused. Although the judgment of 'good and evil' must take into account the judge's position, the biggest problem is actually that most people People's positions are regarded as the real 'good and evil', and the positions of a few people, whether they are 'correct' or not, will be distorted into 'wrong'. 'Good and evil' are essentially dominated by 'power', which side's The stronger the power, the better."
"Human beings, in my previous understanding, are just low-level life forms in low-level planes. However, precisely because humans are low-level life forms, they have much more needs and desires than other high-level life forms. Needs and desires lead to the ratio of human nature to Gods and demons are too complicated, and I, who have always only focused on higher planes, have never noticed that although the 'good and evil' created by me are applicable to gods and demons, they are far from enough for humans."
"Why did 'that human' practice hard for thousands of years, and finally go from being a mere human to a level beyond gods and demons, and overcome many difficulties to come before this king, only to ask this question of 'seeking death'? Why is he willing to question 'good and evil' even at the risk of being killed by 'good and evil'? The reason why he does this is because the law of 'good and evil' is not a prison for 'original sin' in the human world. , but the shackles that imprison the 'self'. For human beings, power is the source of 'good and evil'."
"He loves humans deeply and hates humans at the same time, but he is unable to change the status quo, so rather than questioning me, it is better to say that he is begging me with his life."
After Shi Xiaobai finished speaking, he sighed deeply, as if he was remembering the great human being who would not hesitate to fly to the flames, as if he was sympathizing with the contradiction between good and evil in the human world.
Li Chenxi was stunned for a long time after listening. She underestimated Shi Xiaobai's reaction speed, and even more underestimated Shi Xiaobai's storytelling ability. After finally listening to the whole story, she suddenly felt a little depressed and heavy, as if the story was true. The same thing happened. It was clear that the concepts of 'King of Kings' and 'Law of Good and Evil' were so exaggerated and false, but she could no longer determine with complete confidence whether this story was true or false.
Is it because he made the story too real
Or is it because his acting skills are too realistic? The expression of nostalgia and compassion made her seem to see a former king questioning the 'good and evil' he created.
Or is it because she understands the ugliness of human nature so well that she resonates with the stories and truths he made up
Li Chenxi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking her. She took a deep breath and said: "This is not the fault of good or evil, but a problem of human nature. Human nature is like this. As a human being, questioning human nature is equivalent to questioning yourself. , the only thing we can do is try to restrain our own dark side, but it is impossible to change the darkness of human nature itself."
Yes, this is what she has always known.
She can't change anyone's good or evil. The old patriarch is the original author of the orphan project and the culprit that caused her to be exiled to an isolated island for three years. However, the old patriarch also treats her like his own granddaughter and gives her the best of everything. , which compensated her for the best growing environment and the brightest future.
She couldn't change the old patriarch's humanity, couldn't judge whether he was good or evil, and didn't even know whether to hate or be grateful to him.
Human nature is too complex, and she is part of it.
The only thing she can do is to do things based on what she believes is good and evil, and not let the darkness of human nature swallow her up.
She can't change human nature.
So she chose to stay away.
So she would rather live in a world of one person.
This is her perception. Is she wrong
"you're not wrong."
At this moment, the young man who was very close suddenly raised his hand and touched her head, as if he was comforting a lost little girl.
But he quickly put down the hand that made her feel a little embarrassed but not repelled. He suddenly grinned, his eyes glowing with blazing light, and he looked at her and said loudly: "You are not wrong. Human beings cannot change human nature, nor can they change good and evil." , but I am not a human being. Don’t forget, I am the king of kings who created ‘good and evil’! I am omnipotent!”
"I have the right and even more obligation to modify the imperfect 'good and evil'! Today's 'law of good and evil' only applies to higher beings with simpler needs and desires, but it is not suitable for humans with complex human nature! If 'good and evil' The law is perfect enough, so perfect that neither human nature nor power can be distorted, so perfect that true 'good' and true 'evil' become unbreakable truths, then everything will completely change!"
"Although I have not yet figured out the perfect 'Law of Good and Evil', I will search for it and will keep searching! When I find the real answer, I will regain the frozen throne and modify it." The law of good and evil!"
The young man's voice is full of power and passion, like a huge wave rising from the sky, constantly rushing towards the sky of freedom.
Li Chenxi opened his eyes slightly and stayed blank for a long time.
I see.
It turns out that this is what makes him different.
Turns out that's why she can hear his voice.
He spoke words that seemed nonsensical at first glance, but in fact every word had a profound meaning, whether it was the weird confession "Are you willing to be a mistress?" or "I am the king of kings who created good and evil." Although his absurd stories are all whims, they actually contain countless thoughts and truths. These thoughts and truths are not whims, but treasures that have long been imprinted in his heart.
This is his thought and principle!
Ah, finally I understand.
Why are his eyes obviously black, but as bright as stars
Because he understands the distortion of good and evil and the darkness of human nature better than anyone else, but his eyes are full of unprecedented light!
Because he believes that he is not a miserable human being, he believes that he is the "King of Kings", and he believes that he can change the laws of good and evil!
He firmly believes in the light he longs for, so he faces the darkness ahead!
She couldn't do this, so she chose to turn her back to the darkness, and therefore the light covered by the darkness.
But in fact, what she yearns for is also light!
"Plop! Plop! Plop!"
Li Chenxi seemed to hear her own heartbeat. Her heartbeat was faster, more powerful, and full of life than ever before.
A slight warm blush gradually appeared on his face.
For the first time, she felt that she was too close to Shi Xiaobai. How could being watched by him at such a close distance make her so nervous
Ah, why was she able to hug him without any scruples just now? Although it was her first time hugging someone of the opposite sex, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but why did she feel like her heart was being scratched when she thought about it now.
Too close, really too close, but I didn't want to push him away at all.
But for the first time, she felt that the distance between herself and Shi Xiaobai was too far. To him, she was a person from three thousand years ago, and it was even possible that she was just a false existence copied by the trial program; to her, Where he came from, what era he was in, whether he was a demon king or a trialer, she didn't know anything.
She and he may not be from the same era, or from the same world, and there may even be one person who is false and may be shattered at any time.
Time, dimension, truth and falsehood, they are separated by the three most difficult obstacles to cross domains.
She and him are too far apart.
Li Chenxi felt an unbearable sadness in her heart and slowly lowered her head, but immediately raised it again!
It's too far away, so we should cherish the time when we can see his face and hear his voice.
Say something, don't waste time in silence.
That story is technically a fiction. He may not be human, but he is definitely not the king of kings who created "good and evil".
But what does it matter if the story is true or false
No, even if the story is false, it has no repercussions.
Because he believed that what he said was true, he believed that the light he saw existed, and he believed it, so no one could question it. No matter who questioned it, it was useless!
And she,
Believe what he believed!
"Come on, you must find it, no, you must be able to find the real answer! You must make the laws of good and evil become the truth that human nature cannot distort! When you sit on that frozen throne again, I will stand By your side, if possible, I want to accompany you to the ideal end."
At this moment, the girl who had always been expressionless smiled the most innocent smile. Her smile was as beautiful as the cherry blossoms in April.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, his mind suddenly recalled the words that an equally beautiful purple-haired girl once said to him.
"Shi Xiaobai, maybe in the eyes of others, you calling yourself 'my king' are ridiculous, but to me, you are very cute."
"I understand, Shi Xiaobai, I understand why you call yourself 'my king.'"
"It's not because of arrogance, not because of narcissism, and it's not because of indulging in fantasy!"
"You just believe in yourself!"
"In my eyes, you are not weak, you are stronger than anyone else, so Shi Xiaobai, please call yourself 'I' in front of me from now on, okay?"
At that time, he had only known the purple-haired girl for an hour, but she understood him better than anyone else, understood him, and even believed in him.
And ever since she said those words, she has become a very special existence in his heart, and can even be said to be the most important existence to him in this different world.
The name of the purple-haired girl is Huali.
At this moment, when the blond girl disguised as a man in front of her said, "You will definitely find the real answer!"
"When you sit on that frozen throne again, I will stand by your side."
"If possible, I want to accompany you to the ideal end."
At that moment, she seemed to have said to Huali, "In my eyes, you are not weak, you are stronger than anyone else."
She had only known him for about an hour.
Some people have been together for a lifetime, but they don't know what each other is thinking.
Some people have only known each other for an hour, but it seems like they have known each other for a lifetime.
For Shi Xiaobai, there is another such special existence as the latter.
Li Chenxi naturally didn't know what Shi Xiaobai was thinking, let alone how damaging her heartfelt words were to the young man in front of him.
She only felt that her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, her face was getting hotter and hotter, and some inexplicable impulse was getting stronger and stronger.
He was watching her.
Watch her intently.
She didn't think anything was wrong when she looked at him like this before, but now when she looked at her figure reflected in his eyes at close range, she felt as if something was restless in her chest, making even her breathing gradually change. Gotta hurry up.
Some weird thoughts began to pop up in my mind.
Is this what I look like in his eyes
Ah, men's short hair is indeed too short. It would be nice if it was a little longer. Would he like girls with short hair? Or do you prefer long flowing hair
I used a special makeup method to make my originally neutral facial features masculine. In his eyes, I look more like a teenager, right
Hey, Shi Xiaobai, I'm actually a girl. Although I use a corset to make my chest as flat as a boy's, in fact... I develop normally.
Next time... Next time we meet, I want you to see me wearing a skirt for the first time.
Well, I want you to see what I look like as a girl.
Next time, when we meet.
Next time... Can we see you again
Time passed slowly in the silent gaze.
Maybe it's because the boy and the girl are too dazzling in each other's eyes at this moment, maybe it's because the constant outpouring of thoughts makes them forget themselves, maybe it's just because of the instinct of mutual attraction between men and women, the distance between the two is less than half a meter. Their heads were approaching each other at a slow speed without the two of them noticing.
Forty centimeters.
Thirty centimeters.
Twenty centimeters.
Ten centimeters.
Five centimeters.
The heads of the boy and the girl were getting closer and closer, and their soft lips naturally came closer to each other.
Three centimeters.
Two centimeters.
One centimeter...
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the air seemed to have turned an ambiguous pink. The lips of the boy and the girl would touch each other gently in the next moment. They were attracted to each other, but they did not notice it at all. , touching each other's warmth.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar suddenly sounded, disturbing the boy and girl who had almost forgotten to breathe at the least time.
The kiss, which was less than a centimeter away, ended abruptly.
Li Chenxi woke up suddenly, like a frightened rabbit, and subconsciously retreated back, several meters away in an instant.
Shi Xiaobai was also startled. Fortunately, his body had barely recovered some strength. He quickly supported the ground with both hands to prevent his upper body from falling down due to the girl's sudden release.
After Li Chenxi retreated in panic, he immediately raised his head and glanced at Shi Xiaobai subconsciously. Seeing that he had regained some strength, he breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, an indescribable shyness surged into his heart.
She quickly turned her back to Shi Xiaobai, took a deep breath to calm her mood, and raised her hand to gently touch her hot cheek.
Phew, so hot.
Li Chenxi, what are you thinking about
How can you...
Why...
Could it be...
"That...that..."
Li Chenxi hesitated, trying to say a few words calmly to ease the awkward atmosphere at the moment, but she almost lost the courage to turn around. The voice coming out of her stuffy chest was shy as a girl's, and her mind was even more confused. The group could not even organize a complete sentence.
"That one just now is normal."
Shi Xiaobai seemed much calmer. After the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down. After all, he had experienced the world and was an experienced man. He coughed lightly and said, "The relationship between men and women is too close." If you are close, it will naturally be like just now, this is a normal thing!"
Shi Xiaobai remembered that in the living room of Lizi's house, he was attracted by Hua Li's beautiful golden eyes and couldn't help but get closer, wanting to see more clearly. Unknowingly, the tip of his nose touched hers, and then Hua Li suddenly touched his lips quickly with her lips.
This should be something that comes naturally and naturally.
Very normal thing.
“It’s not normal at all, okay!!”
When Li Chenxi heard what Shi Xiaobai said, she could no longer pretend to be calm. She turned her head and glared at Shi Xiaobai, then immediately turned back and pouted involuntarily.
Although she has no interest in love affairs between men and women, she still has some common sense. What they almost did just now is clearly something that only lovers would do!
You actually said it was normal
Are you kidding me
If the person who almost took away her first kiss just now was not him but someone else, she would be so disgusted that she would vomit.
No, just thinking about it made her want to vomit.
Huh? Why do you think that if it were him, even if he hadn't been interrupted just now, it wouldn't be an unacceptable thing.
Sure enough...
Is that really the case
Li Chenxi had always been proud of his intelligence, but this time he hated why he was so smart and why he figured out such an incredible thing all at once.
But now that we’ve figured it out, we can’t escape.
Face it.
Li Chenxi, you are not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of
Don't hesitate, maybe this is the last little time left to spend with him, maybe there is only one chance!
Don't let yourself regret it!
is not it... ...
Li Chenxi suddenly turned around, faced Shi Xiaobai, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Shi Xiaobai!"
Shi Xiaobai was startled by her sudden momentum and quickly responded: "Huh?"
Li Chenxi slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath again.
When she opened her eyes, her eyes finally calmed down. She looked into Shi Xiaobai's eyes and said calmly and slowly: "We have known each other for a short time, so short that even becoming friends seems anxious, so what I want to do next is You may think what I said is strange, but please believe that these are my true words. They are true words that I must say otherwise I will regret it. Shi Xiaobai! What happened just now is not normal. It is impossible for me to do it. But it did almost happen. However, even if it happened, it was definitely not because we were too close, let alone such a superficial reason as the attraction between men and women. I would almost have sex with you... . Well, it’s because... "
Li Chenxi paused when he said this, his hands trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and looked at the ground, even the roots of his ears were dyed pink.
Shi Xiaobai swallowed and felt that the atmosphere suddenly became very serious. He suddenly felt inexplicably nervous, "Is it because?"
Li Chenxi was silent for a long time and slowly clenched his fists.
Mom, please give your daughter a little courage.
"Because of... ... "
Li Chenxi raised his head suddenly and said forcefully every word: "It's because I... like..."
"Roar!"
Another deafening roar suddenly sounded at the most critical moment!
At the same time, a fierce collision sounded, and the ground suddenly shook violently, mercilessly interrupting Li Chenxi's unfinished words and diverting Shi Xiaobai's attention.
The girl's courage after finally praying suddenly collapsed, and she could only turn her head angrily towards the direction where the sound came from!
"Damn guy!"
Li Chenxi swore that she had never been so angry!
Oh my god, the courage and atmosphere she had finally mustered up were gone!
If I ask her to confess again, she will never be able to do it!
Through the translucent turtle shell, Li Chenxi saw at a glance a giant three-headed dog more than three meters tall standing near the Xuanwu Shell. It raised its head and roared, and suddenly raised its paws and slapped the Xuanwu Shell hard. The Xuanwu shell shook for a while!
She glared at the three-headed dog angrily. If the black beams of light weren't still falling from the sky and the Xuanwu Shell was needed to protect Shi Xiaobai, she would have rushed out and cut the damn dog into pieces!
The three-headed dog obviously felt the murderous aura emanating from the girl, but it was not afraid at all. Instead, it roared angrily and slapped the transparent turtle shell harder.
It is venting the anger of the single dog!
Shi Xiaobai calmly looked around and suddenly found several huge figures appearing at the end of the horizon. Huge monsters were slowly coming towards the edge of the sky. It turned out that the dangers in this strange world were not just those black light beams. , a three-headed dog has been able to slightly shake the turtle shell's defense. Even if there are a few more monsters, I don't know how long it can sustain it.
"Huh, it seems it's time to talk about business."
Shi Xiaobai slowly moved closer to Li Chenxi and said in a serious tone: "Back to the topic, what is going on now? Where is this place? What happened after the last sword collision? Why are we here? How to do it How can I leave here? Tell me everything you know."
Because he promised to "just chat", Shi Xiaobai let the girl decide the topic, stuffed all the questions in his mind, and chatted with her casually.
But now is no longer the time to chat leisurely. He needs enough information and then comes up with a solution to the current dilemma.
Li Chenxi was obviously aware of this. She turned her head to look at Shi Xiaobai, opened her mouth, blinked her eyes, moved her gaze to the side, and said in a low and inaudible voice: "I don't know."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned, "What?"
Li Chenxi lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I'm sorry, I don't know. I can't answer all the questions you asked."
Shi Xiaobai's eyes widened, "Didn't you say... the situation is very complicated?"
The agreed-upon situation is complicated and we need to have a good chat about it
Li Chenxi smiled awkwardly and hesitated: "Although I don't know what happened, the situation... is indeed very complicated."
Due to her modesty, she inadvertently had a coquettish tone when she said these strong words.
She would say "the situation is very complicated", but in fact it was just to say "we need to have a good chat", just because of the selfishness of a girl who finally "heard" the voice, but in fact, she didn't know why they would Suddenly appeared in this strange and dangerous place.
Shi Xiaobai was dumbfounded for a moment, but soon calmed down. He asked seriously again: "Are you really completely complete and don't know anything?"
In this situation, even a little bit of trivial information may become a life-saving straw.
Li Chenxi immediately sat upright, frowning slightly and trying to recall the situation at that time. She was not an ignorant girl, and of course she would not paddle when she should be serious.
"At that time, white light and golden light were mixed together. At that moment, almost nothing could be seen, but I vaguely remember... The white light and golden light seemed to be mixed with several slightly dim golden lights. Because the light was very dark, The similarity was so close that I once thought it was an illusion, but now that I think about it carefully, those slightly dim golden lights seemed to be shooting from the earth to the sky."
Li Chenxi looked thoughtful and said: "If I guessed correctly, those golden lights should be the light when the formation is activated. A huge invisible formation should have been drawn on the ground we are standing on. Combined with The moment of confusion and weightlessness that occurred at that time, the formation was probably a teleportation formation."
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly and said: "In other words, someone set up a teleportation array in the duel venue in advance, activated it when we used all our strength and could not be distracted, and teleported us to this world?"
Li Chenxi nodded, "That should be the case, but this is the first time I have heard of a teleportation formation that can make people unable to detect it, or even completely ignore the object's wishes, so it may not be a teleportation formation. But what is certain is that this Everything is a conspiracy by someone, and he made careful calculations and made a meticulous plan in order to kill us."
Shi Xiaobai sighed softly and said: "If this is the case, that person should have included the exit command. I am afraid that using the exit command will not be able to escape from this world. The black beam and the monsters that are constantly coming now should It’s endless. We can hold on for a while, but we can’t hold on for a lifetime. Escape from this world is the only way to survive.”
After Shi Xiaobai finished speaking, he looked around again. In addition to the giant three-headed dog that was patting the turtle shell, dozens of giant monsters of various shapes had already approached. At the end of the earth and sky, more and more monsters appeared. The figures surged in like a tidal wave.
How long can this turtle shell protect them
When the time comes, how will they survive in the face of endless black light and overwhelming monsters
Escape from this world is easy to say, but now they have no information about this world at all, and there is no way to know how to escape from this world. What lies before them is an almost desperate situation!
Confusion flashed across Shi Xiaobai's eyes, but was immediately taken over by firm will.
No!
To live!
At least!
At least let her live!
