After watching Xiao Zhengyi leave, Xu Shenxing continued to ask curiously: "Now there is no one else here (Jasmine has sneaked into the land god's house to play games), are you still not going to say it?"
"If people don't say it, you will definitely not give up."
The Land God and Xu Shenxing looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help showing helpless expressions.
"Well, although it's a bit troublesome, if you really want to find it, I... no, to be precise, it's Jasmine, she still has a way to find that thing."
Xu Shenxing nodded.
Then he added a sentence in his heart: At most, the possibility of the world being destroyed is increased.
"Well, since you insist on knowing..." The Land God sighed, and began to talk about what he knew: "Although you probably don't have much research on the myths and stories of this world, you should have heard them more or less. You've heard stories about women who turn into monsters?"
"Women become monsters?" Xu Shenxing pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Is it the story of the Jersey Devil?"
The Jersey devil is a legendary monster that inhabits the wilds of New Jersey. It was once considered the murderer of a large-scale livestock massacre. From the early American Indian era until 1991, there were sighting reports of this monster. It can be regarded as a western One of the older ghost stories.
There are many stories about the birth of this monster, one of which is that a young woman named Mrs. Leeds was cursed by a gypsy to become this terrifying monster.
"Why don't you know the more popular stories that are circulating, but you will know such an unpopular type..."
Loli, the land god, didn't seem to understand this weird talk, and complained angrily: "Aren't there other famous ones? Elizabeth Bathory, who became a vampire in Sichuan Sylvania, and Fusang, who turned into a giant shekou in ancient times. Qing Ji, who spewed flames, and Lamia, who was turned into a half-human, half-snake monster by Hera in ancient Greece... Even in this country, isn’t there a story about a beautiful queen who turned into a fox? Whether it’s "Feng Shen" The Daji in "Romance" is still the white-faced fox demon in the Bhikkhu Kingdom in "Journey to the West."
"Wait for me, isn't it right? The first few people turned into monsters, but the last two you mentioned are themselves monsters!" Xu Shenxing said immediately: "When I haven't watched the list of gods and Journey to the West Remember!"
Elizabeth Bathory killed nearly 800 girls, bathed and drank their blood to keep her youthful, so she was often regarded as the origin of vampires alongside Dracula; When he saw the one he loved, he simply turned into a snake and burned his lover Anzhen who was hiding in the bell to death; Lamia was deprived of sleep because of Hera's jealousy, and turned into a half-human half-snake The monster, because its children were killed by Hera, became crazy, killing and devouring children day and night...
"It's been so long, can you guarantee that the records in those books are correct? Couldn't it be because they, like Elizabeth Barton, like to have fun in the process of killing and torturing others, so they twisted into Is it a monster?" The mushroom-headed girl continued, "Let's not talk about Qing Ji's sickly girl... Whether it's Elizabeth Bathory, the half-human, half-snake Lamia, or the fox in the Bhikkhu Kingdom, although the methods are different, But in a sense, they all like to eat people, even Daji once ate Bigan's heart."
Xu Shenxing thought about it, and thought it was better not to complain about why a celestial earth god would know those foreign myths.
So he asked, "You mean, the criminal who committed the crime this time is also of the same type?"
"..."
After a long silence, Loli, the land god, said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Jiang Jin's previous land god."
"...What?" Xu Shenxing, who hadn't expected such a revelation at all, plucked his ears in disbelief.
"You heard me right, the other party is likely to be a very ancient god... It has been more than 1,300 years since I became Jiang Jin's land god, and the other party's age should be much older than this, probably from the age of mythology The kind of existence that has already been born."
The expression of the land god Loli seems to be a little more relaxed. It seems that she also wants to find someone to talk about these things, but there is no suitable candidate before, and she has no way to bypass the barrier in her heart, so she has been Nothing to say.
"Is that land god... turned into a monster?"
"That's right, from the moment she became a land, her immortal status has been cancelled. A lowly god like land, without a god position, is actually not much different from a so-called lonely ghost..." Land God loli smiled self-deprecatingly.
"But even so, no matter what the guy you're talking about was before, a monster that eats people is a monster that is harmful to humans."
"People won't deny it, but they still want to tell you the story of her past..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!" Xu Shenxing yelled, covering his ears.
"Are you the heroine of a romance novel?"
"Because the so-called stories, secrets, and so on will definitely clean up that guy, right?" Xu Shenxing said convincingly: "It's better not to listen to anything and know nothing than to be unable to do anything after hearing such things. It’s refreshing to directly beat the other party into scum.”
"..." Probably because she felt that Xu Shenxing's words were reasonable, Land Lolita also fell silent.
"And cannibalism is one of the absolute bottom lines... No matter what kind of past and secrets you have, once you cannibalize people, you will never be able to stand in the light." Xu Shenxing said in a deep voice. God Lolita was also a little distracted: "Instead of being tortured because of a conscience, it's better to let it rest in peace."
As long as they have a certain degree of individual power, the binding force of laws and the like in the world will become very fragile for supermen like them. Even a person like Xu Shenxing who is still law-abiding will not act like a righteous policeman to uphold the justice of the law just because some supermen killed the dregs of society.
But cannibalism is not acceptable. Cannibalism is an act that completely breaks through the moral bottom line. Regardless of whether it is a human being or anything else, once it is done, Xu Shenxing will regard it as a harmful monster and destroy it.
That's it.
"Is that so... You're right..." Jiang Jin seemed to have given up on his current land, showing a weary smile on his own, "Maybe it's a good choice to let that lord rest in peace."
Just when the atmosphere became a little heavy, Jasmine suddenly appeared.
"Mushroom, Wo overwrote the record (about 500 hours) of the game you are playing." At this point, she hammered her head expressionlessly, and stuck out her tongue to be cute: "Hey ~"
"No——!!!"
Immediately, a mournful scream echoed over Jiangjin in winter, and it lingered for a long time...
…
Xu Shenxing took Jasmine out of the abandoned dormitory on the outside, and the inside was also an old dormitory. The body was actually behind the underground God of Earth's residence, and found Xiao Zhengyi by the steps at the door.
The other party hugged his knees and squatted there as if he had been wronged.
"Old Xu, you bloodless bastard, it's rare for me to say such passionate words, why don't you come out to help me!"
Xu Shenxing kept his head on one side, avoiding the spittle flying from the other party, and then said indifferently: "Don't make trouble, just drive the car over here."
"What? Where are you going?"
Xiao Zhengyi looked puzzled.
"Go and attack that guy who messed around in Jiangjin." Xu Shenxing replied indifferently.
"I know!" Xiao Zhengyi seemed to have discovered the truth of the world, pointed at Xu Shenxing and shouted: "You are actually from the Tsundere family!"
The expressionless Xu Shenxing punched the nearby trees into fine powder, and then showed a bright (stern) smile: "No, I'm from the Department of Physics."
"..."
