"When dealing with some evil people, you must be good at analyzing their desires. The essence of the saying is to speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way. But you must be sincere and don't treat it as a trick."
While walking on the road, "Tang Jing" began to share his experience.
"You have to be willing to treat the other person as a friend, but you also have to be careful about the other person. You have to decide the specific limits yourself."
"In short, you have to be sincere, but don't think that as long as you are gentle, the other party will definitely buy it. Saving your life is the first priority."
Tang Jing was easy to understand.
The evil ones should be very scary monsters, but some of them also have human nature.
You can try to win over this group of evil people, but you also have to be careful when dealing with them.
When leaving the classroom, the apprentice suggested to the master:
"Are we just going to leave these two alone?"
He was referring to Condero and Tina who were unconscious and seemed to be in a dangerous area. Although Tang Jing didn't like them, he knew that the master would definitely be able to take them out first.
His idea is to save people first and then do other things.
"Are these two your third and fourth children born in response to the policy? Why do you have to take care of them at this time?"
"No." Tang Jing answered in his mind.
"That's it. Remember, it's none of your business if they die, but you saved them if they live. If I weren't here, your attention should now be on dealing with the evil. Unless your teammate is 1.59 meters tall, don't change your principles easily."
Tang Jing didn't understand the latter sentence, but he got the overall meaning.
"Tang Jing" continued to educate the original owner of the body:
"Although I really want to say that it's not a big problem and don't panic, the fact is that the world outside the black fog has begun to distort, and the problem is serious and it's time to panic. Although the current troubles are just a waste of time for me, in the future..."
"What will happen in the future?"
“Many people will face distorted environments, rules, and even creatures. The world will become worse and worse.
I guess your ability to have a divine descent might be a self-protection mechanism of this world, which feels absurd."
The scene before him was not a puzzle to Bai Wu, and was not even as good as the Ninth Hospital he explored for the first time.
But if the pattern spreads to the whole world, this question becomes difficult. Why does this young man have such a high ranking
Why did the world suddenly become like this? And why, in the past seven hundred years, it seems that the world has not changed much
At least judging from the piano and some of the classroom equipment, Bai Wu believes that technology has not kept up with the times in education. Even the clothes Tang Jing wears are similar in style to those in his previous life, in the pre-tower era within the Black Mist.
Distortion suddenly came, how did the doomsday fragments form? Will this world have regional restrictions
Will this world be matched by the teleportation stele? The people living here can awaken the sequence, but can they awaken the companion power
How long will it take for the negative attributes that come every four hours to start affecting this world
Will the tower that the evil ones have been searching for for seven hundred years and still can't find appear again
There are too many questions that need to be determined, but at the moment, both Master Tang Jing and his apprentice are confused.
"You must learn to free yourself from any moral distress and make the best choice. This is not to erase your humanity, but you must always remain rational. In any difficult situation, if you can judge without being affected by negative emotions, you will have the greatest chance of survival. Among them... compassion for others, although not a negative emotion, is sometimes more deadly than negative emotions."
Very… very impressive.
Tang Jing could imagine that these experiences were definitely supported by experience. He silently took note of his master's words.
Then he found that no matter how close he got to the classroom, he couldn't get there.
Because the music suddenly became longer, one key was kept pressed.
Obviously, Evil Fall is resisting Tang Jing.
“It feels like I’m trapped in a maze… I can never get to the end.” The apprentice was a little scared.
No matter how you look at it, what happened today was too supernatural. Fortunately, he had seen many strange things in his dreams about black fog, so his ability to accept things was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
But I still couldn't understand why no matter how I moved, the distance between me and the classroom never shortened.
"It's just a trifle of skill to carve insects, but you're just showing off your proficiency in front of an expert." The master still had that bored expression on his face.
Bai Wu is now in a special state, a pure human body, but because of the absorption and distortion, it has activated the evil power of the entry obtained in the casino before.
"The opponent is a monster that is good at manipulating musical notes and has a certain amount of mental power, but mental power is something that, unless you have a powerful entry, otherwise... facing a being with a stronger mental power than yourself, you can only be crushed."
Tang Jing didn't understand, but he always felt that his master seemed to be starting to show off.
Sure enough, "Tang Jing's" gaze suddenly locked onto a certain location, and his eyes were extremely fierce.
At this moment, ripples appeared in the air, and Tang Jing soon noticed that the surrounding scene began to slowly return to normal, as if the Rubik's Cube was being continuously restored.
Finally, Tang Jing found himself back in the classroom.
It turns out that the person behind the scenes seemed to be far away, but in fact he was always not far from the piano.
"Xu Ling?"
In Tang Jing's eyes, a young girl was squatting in the corner of the classroom, hugging her knees.
He had to admit that the girl was very talented, because at the beginning even he was fooled by her "eye-catching tricks".
But the gap between the two was so great that he could directly crack the other party's methods.
"It's Xu Ling... I thought she would become more terrifying than the monster formed by the musical notes... I didn't expect her to be in human form."
The apprentice gave the master the message, and the master explained to the apprentice while talking to Xu Ling:
"You must be very scared of the changes in yourself, and seeing the constant distortion around you and people mutating, you wonder if you will become a monster."
"But don't be afraid. You can regard this mutation as a gift from God. This mutation may turn a person into the monster they expect, and it may conform to some of your obsessions, but once it is completed, there won't be too many changes."
Tang Jing understood.
Is the master saying that evil degeneration may turn people into very scary monsters, but it is also possible that they can still be human? It depends on one's own desires and obsessions
It’s probably a good thing that Xu Ling didn’t turn into a scary monster.
Bai Wu was very surprised why no note popped up when he saw Xu Ling.
However, he could not sense any evil thoughts from Xu Ling. As the one who possesses the five guardian spirits of "Ghost Apartment", although there are no apostles now, Bai Wu can still feel the other party's good and evil state.
Xu Ling is afraid of herself.
“… I… am not a human anymore… I am a monster! I am a monster… Don’t come over here… You are a monster too!”
When the little girl saw Tang Jing approaching her, she squeezed closer to the corner.
"Tang Jing" stopped.
There is a price to pay for becoming evil. Even if you look like a human, you are not a human.
So he knew very well that comforting the other person as still being a human being was a crude deception.
"The world has begun to become sick, and more and more humans will become like you. You will gradually find yourself becoming obsessed with torturing humans, because when humans are afraid, they will emit a scent that is like food that you cannot resist."
Xu Ling looked at Tang Jing in surprise. This was indeed the case with her now.
A few days ago, after she turned into a monster, she didn't actually want to hurt these people. She just felt that her body had become stronger, and her motor nerves were stronger than those of humans. She could even go without sleep or food, and at the same time... her body had also undergone some changes.
A change that others cannot see, but you yourself know that you are no longer human.
But she did not seek revenge on those who had hurt her. She just thought about returning to her old classroom and playing her favorite songs.
Hence the ghost story of the piano at the Meiyi Building at night.
But today... when the female teacher broke into the classroom and was about to make out with the man, they heard the sound of a piano.
The ghostly piano can make people see hallucinations as if they had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Hallucinations can cause people to have many emotions, and when Xu Ling feels those emotions, he wants to devour them.
The past experience of being hurt by Silva resurfaced again and again. Although she was able to preserve her innocence in the end, in a place like school, where racial discrimination is serious, her life has been half ruined.
All kinds of hatred emerged, making it difficult for Xu Ling to suppress the urge to torture these two innocent people.
Although they are innocent, they are just as hateful as Silva! Kill them! Devour them!
Such voices kept ringing in Xu Ling's mind, causing Xu Ling to almost make a big mistake.
Fortunately, Tang Jing appeared at this time.
This man looked very weak, and was nearly killed at first... But suddenly, Xu Ling felt that he was so powerful that he made her terrified and tremble.
She didn't know what to do, so she kept manipulating the sound of the piano, trying to keep Tang Jing away from her.
But in Tang Jing's eyes, all this was just extremely clumsy childish tricks.
"I have no ill intentions. In fact, I am the same as you. I have also mutated. I have also undergone certain changes... which only I know and others do not know. So don't be afraid. It was this world that once forced us to be like this. We are not perpetrators, but victims. Why should victims feel afraid? Is it our fault that we are bullied?"
The look in Xu Ling's eyes when she looked at Tang Jing changed slightly, as if she agreed with what he said.
“Maybe we are no longer human, but who can say we are not human? As long as we can control our desire for negative emotions, we can still live a normal life in this world. We can even resist the evil that can blatantly bully us.”
"Everything in life has a price. Just think of it as God taking away some of our things in exchange for a life where we won't be bullied in the future."
"Tang Jing" spoke as he approached Xu Ling little by little.
Deep down, the disciple noticed that Xu Ling really didn't resist. These words didn't have much appeal, but they hit the nail on the head.
At least the master could see at a glance that Xu Ling was not a bad person.
The master also saw at a glance that Xu Ling was worried about his change. At the same time, the master also saw that Xu Ling needed guidance...
Isn’t that great!
"You...you turned into a monster too?"
"You are wrong. You must remember that in this world, there are many humans in monster skins. They are humans; there are also many monsters in human skins. They are monsters. Do you think your soul has become a monster? Are you willing to succumb to that desire? I believe you would rather carry this power and control it with your own will."
Xu Ling nodded.
Tang Jing asked:
"Do you have a place to live now?"
"No... I'm afraid to go to crowded places. I smell their scent and I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
"Look, you are kind. Remember this kindness and your choice now. Don't be a slave to this power. Be its master."
"You...what's your name?" The little girl had some basic trust in Tang Jing.
Because of Bai Wu’s words, Tang Jing was directly described as an evil person who was “missing something”.
Tang Jing didn't know yet which part of the Evil would be missing, so he didn't feel anything was wrong. He even felt that his master was really reliable, both good at talking and fighting.
"Tang Jing. Xu Ling, this is our secret. I will find you a place to stay in the next few days. I will come to see you every day, and we will try to master this power together."
Tang Jing suddenly realized something was wrong. Wait, I can only use my power to summon my master next weekend. My master asked me to visit her every day
Doesn't that mean I have to face this monster alone
Too strict...
And where can I find this place? Wait, it seems I can contact Lao Zhao. In a sense, Xu Ling is also related to the black fog, Lao Zhao should be able to help.
Thinking of this, Tang Jing suddenly felt that once Lao Zhao made a move, the concept of the word "place to live" might have changed.
After all, he is the man who can buy eleven satellites.
A master doesn't care what his apprentice thinks. Bai Wu felt that the matter had been dealt with and he had to return to the tower.
Especially tomorrow, Bai Wu will have an extremely important confrontation in the Survey Corps.
"I won't hurt you. You can feel my power. I just hope that people like us can be guided correctly. Instead of indulging ourselves and becoming real monsters, I also believe that you don't want to be corrupted by that desire."
Xu Ling nodded.
"Tang Jing" extended his hand at the right time.
In Bai Wu's opinion, as long as the other party extends a hand, the journey to the Novice Village will be over. The rest depends on how much Tang Jing can understand.
All this can only wait until next time when I can review it myself.
Bai Wu thought so, and Xu Ling was indeed moved by Tang Jing's words and sincere attitude.
She raised her head and looked at Tang Jing's face, her eyes filled with tears.
Everything should have been a perfect master-disciple teaching, but when Xu Ling stretched out his hand.
Tang Jing's expression changed instantly!
The moment the slender, white little hand stretched out, Bai Wu finally understood why no notes popped up in his eyes.
Because at this time... the notes slowly popped up.
Didn't expect it? I showed up at this time. Because the best part of the show has to wait until the finale.
In front of you is an interesting girl. You feel that she has no ill intentions, and she does. You think this is a simple decryption, but the real puzzle has just been revealed. What will you choose next
Bai Wu never expected that this simple teaching would have a surprising reversal at this time.
Because in the hands of this innocent girl, filled with sadness, fear and confusion -
There was an engraving of a pattern he had seen before.
Six of Hearts.
