I'm not a theatre god

Mo Lian glanced sideways at Bai Ye and said calmly:

"Oh... then in that case, let me take action. You watch from the side. If there are children who want to escape, you kill them."

Bai Ye lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"What? Don't want to?"

"I just don't understand why they have to kill a group of children who just ran away... We are thieves, not butchers." Bai Ye said in a deep voice.

"Then you go ask the king yourself." Mo Lian sneered, "Which of our five red, yellow, blue, white and black thief saints has not touched a human life? Are you pretending to be an innocent white rabbit now? I don't care, but this time you Whatever I did or didn’t do when I came out, I will report it truthfully when I get back... It’s up to the king to decide what to do with you.”

"..."

Mo Lian ignored Bai Ye and continued to move forward along the ruts.

Bai Ye frowned and looked in the direction of the rut, his eyes flashing with a gleam, not knowing what he was thinking... At this moment, the soil under his feet shook slightly, and a thigh-thick shadow centipede broke out of the ground. I want to bite his body!

Bai Ye and Mo Lian don't have the aura like Chen Ling to dispel the disasters around them. They walk in the gray world and must always face the disaster attacks in the gray world. However, with their rank and strength, Most disasters are not threatening...

Bai Ye was thinking about other things at the moment and had no time to care about the sudden disaster. Just when he was about to kill the centipede, he suddenly thought of something and stepped on it with one foot!

Bai Ye lowered his head and looked at the shadow centipede struggling crazily at his feet, his eyes narrowed slightly...

His palm gently touched the centipede's head.

…

As the team moved forward, a steady stream of crying came from the children.

"Don't leave...I don't want to leave, I want to go back to find my mother, wuwuwu..."

"I can't walk anymore. I need to sit down and rest for a while."

"It's so dark around here, I'm so scared!"

"Where's the big cake? I want to eat the big cake... If I don't eat the big cake, I will starve to death!"

After many hours of trekking, most of these children's physical abilities have reached their limits. Some of the younger children have lost control of their emotions and started crying desperately after being in a repressive environment for so long.

Fortunately, there were still a few adults in the team, so they could only go up first to coax them, take out dry food and water from another cart, and distribute them to the children.

"Why are you making such a fuss?! Those monsters will be attracted if you keep making noise! ​​I will beat up whoever cries again!"

A tall and strong boy of seventeen or eighteen years old in the crowd knocked a ten-year-old boy to the ground with one punch and spoke viciously.

After being punched, the child cried even harder.

The tall boy glared angrily, and he suddenly straddled the child, raining down sandbag-like fists on him, directly beating his head to pieces and bleeding. When the adults on the side saw this, they immediately rushed forward to separate the two.

"Zhu Zhong!! What are you doing?? You want to kill someone!"

"Who makes him cry all the time! He wants to kill us all!"

"Then you are too harsh. Do you know how far it is from the Tianshu Realm? Shedding so much blood will kill someone!"

The young man known as Zhu Zhong did not feel any guilt. Instead, he still stared at the child in the pool of blood. The blood dripped down his fist and fell to the ground, but it was only the dark gray unique to the gray world.

Not far away, the boy in sackcloth silently raised his hand and covered A Qian's eyes on his back.

"Brother Xiao Li...why did he hit someone?" A Qian, like the other children, was frightened by the bloody scene just now, and her voice was trembling.

"Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil. Without experience and education, they have cultivated the concept of good and evil, but they have power beyond their peers... Such people are often extremely self-centered, not restricted by any rules, and have no restraint." Maid boy Speak calmly,

"We need to stay away from people like this, you know?"

"knew."

A Qian silently buried her head on the boy's shoulder, but found that the boy's steps were gradually staggering, and his body seemed to be shaking slightly... It was not fear, but exhaustion.

The young man in linen clothes was already thin. After walking for several hours with a girl like A Qian on his back, his body was almost reaching its limit.

"Brother Xiao Li, are you tired?"

"Tired." The young man in Mai paused for a moment, "But we can't stop... We finally escaped from that purgatory. The longer we delay on the road, the more dangerous it will be..."

"You should be fine if you rest for a while? With the adults here, we should be safe."

"Them? They don't represent 'security'...Have you forgotten how the Wuji Realm fell?" The young man in Mai seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes flashed red, "This is a chaotic and dark era. The only thing we can trust here is ourselves.”

"oh……"

A Qian couldn't understand what Brother Li meant, but she knew that he was indeed tired, so she got off his shoulders and tried to lighten his burden as much as possible.

Just as she was about to say something, on the desolate land ahead, a figure holding a cane gradually appeared in their field of vision.

"Brother Xiao Li, there is an uncle in front of you! He's not a monster!" A Qian was startled when she saw this scene, and then surprise appeared on her face, "Is he sent by Tianshu Realm to pick us up?"

Not just her, but almost every other child, the same thought came to mind.

They had been walking in the Gray Realm for too long. There was nothing but the barren and dead land around them, and the occasional terrifying disasters. There was no sign of human beings at all... In this extremely depressing environment, everyone was eager to reach the Tianshu Realm as soon as possible, but they were still young and had no idea of ​​the distance.

Therefore, when they saw a long-lost human appear in front of them, and he looked like a gentleman wearing a round hat and holding a cane, they were immediately excited!

Some children even began to cry and wave at the man, and ran up quickly.

The hemp-clothed boy suddenly stopped, holding A Qian's wrist tightly with his palm, looking at the man with an extremely vigilant look, and quietly retreated behind everyone...

"Be careful! Don't go over there!" At the same time, the accompanying adults also reacted and shouted immediately!

However, everything was too late.

As the man raised his cane and waved it casually, the dozen children closest to him were shocked at the same time, and their hearts appeared outside their bodies, as if they were taken out of the air by an invisible big hand and thrown on the ground.

Plop——

Their bodies fell to the ground in waves like straws swept by a hurricane, and they were no longer able to breathe.
