Probably because he has been in the world for so long and has no clue, and he has not hit a wall for a long time. He suffered a loss at the hands of the mountain spirit. He has been successful for too long and has always been strategizing. The sudden mission failure made him a little uncomfortable.
It's really time to adjust your mentality.
In fact, you don’t have to worry about taking too long to complete the task.
What I fear the most is not having a clue. Being clueless means simply not being able to carry out my work, which will lead to a bad mood.
The worse it is, the more it affects judgment, which is a vicious circle.
Meng Li: "Don't be impatient, let's take our time."
"I regret sending you a support mission," Chi Jingfang said.
He continued:
"If the mission fails, you will be implicated."
Meng Li said:
"If everything goes well, you won't send a support mission. Don't worry, I won't find any excuses to blame you when I'm here."
"If the mission fails, doesn't it also prove that you are not capable?"
Chi Jingfang: "You are quite open-minded."
Meng Li: "If you can't think about it after doing so many tasks, there's nothing you can do about it."
Chi Jingfang asked:
"Then how should we confirm our previous speculation now?"
Meng Li: "I'm also thinking about this issue."
It is impossible to ask the mountain spirit directly. Presumably the mountain spirit will not know why he is the incarnation of the way of heaven.
But thinking about the character of the mountain spirit, Meng Li felt that it was a bit like the way of heaven. The way of heaven sometimes regarded all living beings as ants.
Shan Ling seems to be in the same state now.
She is the original mountain spirit, yes, but her personality is completely different, it's really like a different person.
Chi Jingfang sighed.
"When I have nothing to do, I'll look through ancient books and see if I can find any clues." Chi Jingfang still believes that the mountain spirit has awakened to a powerful consciousness.
There is no record of this great power that can be found about him.
As long as he could recognize the words, Meng Li could follow her and look for her. She said to Chi Jingfang:
"I'll look for it too."
Chi Jingfang: "Okay, two people will find it faster."
The conversation between the two was temporarily over, but their systems were exhausted.
Being a microphone or something is the most tiring thing.
Who told Meng Li not to have a mobile phone? It’s really rare to see people without mobile phones in today’s society.
Even if he has a mobile phone, Meng Li doesn't think it's appropriate to use it to communicate.
She thought about it for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and sent a message to Chi Jingfang:
"By the way, do you have that kind of retrospective formation that allows you to see people's past and present lives?"
She had heard of this formation and read the records about it. Unfortunately, the records were not clear, so she had no way to learn it.
I don’t know if this formation actually exists.
Chi Jingfang: "You're really giving me a hard time."
Meng Li: "...Is there any formation that can spy on the secrets of heaven?"
In fact, coming here to do the mission proves that the mountain spirit is an anomaly that needs to be solved, but now there is no reason to think that the mountain spirit is the incarnation of heaven. So the mountain spirit can't hope that others will get rid of her, right
It's so contradictory.
The logic doesn't make sense.
Chi Jingfang: "Girl, what weird things are you thinking about?"
Meng Li also thought it was nonsense:
"Forget it, let's check the ancient books first."
Chi Jingfang said:
"It's not easy for you to find that kind of ancient book now. Let me tell you, there are many records about monsters in the client organization."
Meng Li thought the same thing. They specialize in dealing with demons, so they must know everything about them.
And this kind of organization has always existed, and there must be many records.
The next day, Chi Jingfang said to Shan Ling:
"I am leaving."
Shanling asked:
"You're not guarding me anymore? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill someone?"
Chi Jingfang said straightforwardly:
"I'm afraid you will kill me if I continue to stay, so I have to evacuate. Naturally, other people's lives are not as important as mine."
The mountain spirit simply admires the beautiful scenery of the Dead Pond. What she hates most about humans is not their selfishness, but their hypocrisy.
You are obviously extremely selfish, but you still find all kinds of reasons and excuses to cover it up. This kind of behavior is particularly ugly.
But the person in front of me was different. He didn't hide it and faced his shortcomings, but he wasn't proud of them and treated them very calmly.
Unexpectedly, the mountain spirit persuaded Chi Jingfang to stay:
"Don't leave. If you stay with me, I won't kill anyone. If you leave, I'll be bored."
Chi Jingfang: "You want to kill someone if you're bored?"
Shan Ling: "Some people deserve to die."
Chi Jingfang shook his head: "I think you are in danger, so I'd better retreat before you kill me now."
Shan Ling was a little disappointed and said unhappily:
"Then get lost."
Chi Jingfang left, and Shanling and Meng Li looked at each other speechlessly.
Meng Li suddenly asked:
"Sister, what do you mean by the way of heaven?"
Mountain Spirit: "The Way of Heaven?"
Meng Li hummed and looked at the mountain spirit curiously.
Shanling said:
"Does this thing called Heavenly Dao exist?"
Meng Li said: "I think it exists."
The mountain spirit suddenly looked at Meng Li with burning eyes and said:
"I just sent away an interesting person, but I didn't expect you to become interesting again."
Meng Li pretended not to understand.
Shanling said:
"Your ideological consciousness is so high? Are you still thinking about the way of heaven? You don't even understand our relationship with human beings, so you are thinking about such profound issues?"
Meng Li: "I'm just curious."
Shan Ling said coldly:
"Then let me tell you what the way of heaven is."
Meng Li nodded quickly.
Shanling said:
"If there really is a way of heaven, that way is also partial. He only favors humans and is very harsh on us monsters."
"We have been hunted and oppressed by humans. They chase us away again and again, without giving us the rights we deserve. If they were more capable, they would definitely exterminate our demon race."
"Did you know? In today's society, there are still people who pay a lot of money to eat demon hearts, as if eating them will make them immortal. You think it's ridiculous or not? It's a pity that many demons in our demon clan have been secretly killed because of this."
"In the final analysis, it's just that God is biased. We are also an intelligent species, but he has given humans higher intelligence and allowed them to occupy most of the resources, and then crush us."
Meng Li: "..."
Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading.
Inexplicably, I feel that what the mountain spirit said makes sense. From the perspective of the mountain spirit monster clan, it is indeed true.
Sometimes the things humans do are indeed cruel, but who says that all monsters are kind and innocent
Shanling became even more unhappy when she mentioned this. She looked at Meng Li coldly:
"So as a demon, you are a traitor to the demon world. What qualifications do you have to sympathize with them?"
"If you say anything sympathetic to them again, I will kill you!"
Judging from her expression, Meng Li felt that Shanling was serious.
The client sympathizes with living beings, not specifically humans.
But in the hearts of mountain spirits, human beings do not deserve sympathy.
However, from this exploratory conversation, it was confirmed that the mountain spirit did not know that he might be the incarnation of heaven.
If he knew she could still complain about him like this
Of course, she is not yet able to confirm this conjecture. Maybe in the end, the mountain spirit is really not the incarnation of heaven.
