Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Doubt is like a seed.

Whether it is wind and rain, or heat and winter, a rock is still a rock.

But once the seeds are buried, a crack will be opened in the rock by the power of germination, and green branches will be pulled out from the crack, and finally poisonous flowers will bloom.

Therefore, when Ling Linhan suddenly discovered that there was a crack in the world he knew, revealing a strange picture

——Even if he couldn't verify whether it was an illusion, it didn't stop him from doubting whether everything in front of him was real.

This sense of dislocation in reality even made him doubt everyone around him.

But at the same time, he was eager to find a breakthrough that could verify the truth.

At this time, someone he had never had contact with before, or even a potential enemy - such a person made him more trustworthy.

For example, Xiao Ji Nian, who is also a student of Shenlong Academy but has a close relationship with Ling Yao.

Of course, the relationship between him and Xiao Ji Nian was not so good that Xiao Ji Nian hadn't known each other for long before he would tell all about his life experience and his mentor.

So the reason why he came into contact with Xiao Zhiliang...

It was because he followed Xiao Jinian.

Although it seems a bit unkind to do so.But at that time, avoid the true and false news sources around him-tracking and monitoring someone, the most authentic and comprehensive way he can think of to understand the other party.

(Having said that, but children... No, readers and friends, don’t you want to learn it well?)

And it was precisely because of this that he came into contact with Xiao Zhiliang through Xiao Ji Nian, and thus learned a little bit of the secret of the "Heaven's Blessed One".

That time, after Xiao Jinian met his benefactor, he seemed to have broken up with him.

And Ling Linhan quietly followed after Xiao Ji Nian left, wanting to meet Xiao Ji Nian's teacher.

"I told you not to come again!...? Are you?"

And this is exactly the first sentence that Xiao Zhiliang said to Ling Linhan when he first met Xiao Zhiliang,

"Heavenly Blessed One? Why did they let you appear here?"

But he seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked around nervously, as if afraid of being discovered by others.

Xiao Zhiliang's actions undoubtedly aggravated Ling Linhan's doubts and curiosity.

——What is the Blessed One?Who are they referring to?

However, before he could ask anything, Xiao Zhiliang's eyes widened suddenly, and he dragged Ling Linhan, who was peeping from the window, into the room:

"Don't let them find you, don't let them find you... This is God helping me! This may be the only chance!"

He pressed Ling Linhan's shoulders, his tired face was swept away, and only the dazzling and passionate light remained in his black eyes:

"Time is limited, you have to listen to everything I say next!

"Don't trust the teachers of Shenlong Academy! Don't trust Tian Xi! They just want to get your inheritance!

"Don't use the Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda again. Don't let yourself, or let anyone inherit the path of Tianxin Patriarch!

"The end of that road is not a world where all beings are equal! As a human being, to pursue the spirit and realm of the Creator God is disaster and destruction!

"Get out of here. Get out of the academy! If you don't want to stay in this invisible cage and be controlled by others to live your whole life!

"You can go anywhere, as long as you leave Wolong Kingdom and get out of the control of Shenlong Academy... you will see this real world..."

……

"Wait, wait, what did he tell you not to use? Whose path should you inherit? You should make it clear!"

Ling Yao rolled his eyes after listening to the masked dialogue.

Both he and Xiao Ji Nian had guessed that the research project that Xiao Zhiliang came into contact with back then was likely to be closely related to Renjie Era and Patriarch Tianxin.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhiliang kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, for fear that Xiao Ji Nian would slip into this muddy water.

And if one wants to know the truth of the past, then every word Xiao Zhiliang said is crucial.

As a result, the little boy recalled killing and turned it on, so he made a mosaic for the dialogue.

Facing Ling Yao's direct question, Ling Linhan frowned, hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said:

"Anyway, now...it doesn't matter if I tell you. It's Tianxin Patriarch! He created the place of inheritance we entered back then."

"But at that time, many people got the secrets of the land of inheritance, right? Why did he think that you have the ability to inherit the complete path of Patriarch Tianxin?"

As soon as Ling Yao asked, he suddenly thought of something, and was a little dumbfounded

——Could it not be, the matter is so bloody, just as he once thought...

"Because...Because I got a little chance from Patriarch Tianxin before I entered the place of inheritance. But I didn't expect that the people of Shenlong Academy would have known..."

"Nine Heavens Heavy Cloud Pagoda?"

Ling Yao blurted out.

If the people of Shenlong Academy knew that Ling Linhan had such a baby and the completed inheritance of Tianxin Patriarch, and then deliberately approached Ling Linhan to lure the little kid... Wow, wouldn't it be a story of fraud!

however……

"You, just, just, said, what, what, what?"

Ling Linhan stopped suddenly, turned around suddenly, blocked Ling Yao's way forward, and kicked Ling Yao hard with wide eyes.

Ling Yao: "I just said...uh...(=X=) I didn't say anything..."

Ruined!It's easy!It's exposed! !

Watching Ling Linhan take out all the knives, Ling Yao saw that his pretending to be stupid didn't work, so he slapped his head and brought up the old story again:

"Hey, isn't it the Nine Heavens Heavy Cloud Pagoda! The one you used to hit me on the head before! I still feel a headache when I think about it now, ouch..."

Guilt flashed across Ling Linhan's face, but he quickly realized:

"One yard for one yard! How do you know it's called 'Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda'? Who told you?"

who?Who else could it be?Four years ago, a Tucao servant told me!

But can this be said?Does anyone believe this?

It's like he put his hips on his hips and yelled to the people in Naxi Village—"I'm Ling Yao, the direct descendant of Yueyao Peak of Jianmen!"—they would just hold their stomachs and laugh, thinking he was a fool.

That being the case, don't blame him for ruthlessly using the salted fish secret technique again - opening his eyes and talking nonsense.

Although he had the idea of ​​"Brothers will take the blame for me", Ling Yao's first reaction was to pull Xiao Ji Nian out again.

But on second thought, he himself was still keeping Xiao Ji Nian's matter about the Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda from Xiao Ji Nian.If this lie is spread, there is no way to get it back after colluding like last time.

So this time he had no choice but to throw the blame on Xiao Zhiliang:

"What...you know, Ah Nian, I mean Xiao Ji Nian, he is very concerned about his teacher, but Xiao Zhiliang doesn't want to tell him anything...

"So I thought, if I went to Xiao Zhiliang without telling Xiao Ji Nian, maybe he would tell me something.

"But he only said this one word to me, so I can associate it with everything you say... Yes, that's it."

Seeing Ling Yao nodding his head to himself, Ling Linhan cast a very suspicious look on him.

"Oh, by the way! Don't tell Xiao Jinian about this. He doesn't know anything yet! It's safest not to know about this kind of thing!"

Anyway, Xiao Zhiliang was in a state of confinement, and Ling Linhan fled suddenly this time.No matter how lucky Ling Linhan is, when he goes back, it is unlikely that he will sneak in to find Xiao Zhiliang himself to verify this matter.

In addition, his one sentence blocked Ling Linhan from asking Xiao Jinian the way...

Even if Ling Linhan had doubts written all over his body, he couldn't verify it -- let alone this is an irrelevant concealment.

Ling Yao gave himself a thumbs up in his heart: Plan to pass.jpg.

It's also thanks to Ling Linhan that he really didn't intend to delve into this issue.

In addition to what Xiao Zhiliang said to him, he has also personally verified the authenticity of certain things, so that he has no idea about the inheritance of Patriarch Tianxin.

And since Ling Yao knew it a long time ago, he never revealed his intention to kill someone to seize treasure... Ling Linhan also wanted to trust this person for the time being.

after all……

"I don't know who to trust anymore."

Ling Linhan lowered her head, sheathed her knife, as if muttering to herself, or confiding,

"I used to really... treat everyone around me as good friends and brothers, and trust them wholeheartedly. But... Ling Feiyu is deceiving me, Xu Anyang is using me, Yue Qingying and Qi Xiangyun are hiding me, The other people are just pawns that they place around me, big and small, with different functions.

"They all stay by my side by pretending to be kind and sincere for their own interests. The so-called honesty is just my wishful thinking.

"In contrast, sometimes you really...don't want to talk about you."

"No, tell me! What's wrong with me sometimes! Am I not good?!"

Ling Linhan looked at Ling Yao with an expression of "Look at it, you look like a ghost", and said:

"At least you are a qualified collaborator and trader. You don't have true feelings, and I don't have to worry about mispaying the truth. Even if you deceive me, I won't feel sad.

"In short, I think Rukawa is the best choice, so I came here. And here... I have indeed seen a world that I have never seen before."

Ling Linhan was silent for a while, then started to hurry.

Just when Ling Yao thought the topic was over, he suddenly said:

"It's not that I haven't killed monsters before, but I dare to say that the previous me would only do it when they provoked me first.

"So at the beginning, I thought they were cruel. After all, the word hunting itself has a bloody smell.

"But when I lived here, I realized that the smell of blood here is not only the blood of monsters, but also the blood of people.

"Humans hunt monsters, and monsters are also hunting humans. Everyone is innocent, but living here is destined not to be innocent.

"As long as I have a little compassion for the monsters, the members of the hunting team will shed a little more blood, and even lose an extra life.

"In the past, I definitely wouldn't lick my face and ask for the corpse of a monster that you didn't like at all. After all, apart from the crystal nucleus, the skin and bones of a monster may have significance as raw materials, but meat is absolutely burdensome.

"But now... that's food. In order to survive, they have to venture deep into the jungle and fight all kinds of monsters."

Ling Linhan drew a model in the void,

"Such a large piece of meat can be eaten for several days. They can go out one less time, and maybe one less person will die in this way...

"That's a real person, the person who was still joking with you just a moment ago. Before... I... have never met... a teammate died in front of me..."

Ling Yao didn't speak.

To be honest, in fact, a long time ago, he seemed to complain about Ling Linhan's compassion for the proliferation of monsters.

Whether it's some equipment on their bodies, or the crystal nuclei they use, or even some food they eat... Behind every bit of their life, there are corpses of monsters everywhere.

To be honest, each of them is a "butcher".

But should this be blamed?

Those who condemn the hunting and killing of monsters, can they do it without using the skin and bones of monsters, not eating the flesh and blood of monsters, and not using the crystal core of monsters?

This is obviously impossible.

Because in the final analysis, human beings are not very noble—just like many monsters cannot get rid of the habit of hunting aliens and human beings, everyone is just a link in the biological chain.

If you don't want to do some things, then restrain yourself; if you don't know how to do it yourself, you still have to blame others, that's really unnecessary.

But Ling Linhan would have such an idea, which is actually quite understandable.

Because Shenlong Academy protected him very well—you can understand that he dared to say that he had never seen his teammates die in front of him.

No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to guarantee that no one in his company will die due to accidents.

Ling Yao still remembered that when he was still in the Enlightenment Realm, the first time he went out on a mission with other older direct disciples, he was unlucky to encounter a fourth-order monster that far surpassed the overall strength of their team.

The senior brother who led the team was already at the peak of Danyang's strength.But in that mission, they still lost three people.

Never had a teammate die?To a person like him, such words are either false or protected by an expert.

But in Ling Linhan's view, it was just because he was strong enough and lucky.

From Tucaoyong's point of view, that is the protection of the "protagonist halo".

No companion died tragically at the hands of monsters, and he didn't need to hunt monsters himself to make a living on weekdays;

Even if you think about it, you can tell that the crystal nuclei used and the food you eat come from monsters, but as long as you don't see the corpse of a monster with your own eyes, the cruel and bloody facts can be subconsciously forgotten.

This gave him a feeling - I never took the initiative to hurt monsters, and monsters may not come to hurt me.So why can't we just make peace easily and stop killing?

If not, it must be because other people's ideological realm is not high enough.

So when he arrived at Rukawa, his world was torn apart in an instant.

In Ling Yao's view, such a change of mind is good and necessary.

Otherwise, Ling Linhan really can only live forever under the framework set by Shenlong Academy for him, and is out of tune with this world.

But ah...

It was the first time that the fifteen-year-old boy who had been deceived by others and had never seen the world face the truth for the first time was to witness the blood and death of his friends and teammates with his own eyes—in this way...

Ling Yao patted Ling Linhan's shoulder.

It is cruel and makes people sigh.

===Conversation about me and my family's idle proofreader===

Sister proofreader: Your copy is a bit long, with so much foreshadowing

Me: If you are talking about the small dungeon of the Thousand Poisonous Spider King, it will take a while to finish

Me: If you are talking about the large dungeon of Liuchuan Forest District, it is relatively long

Me: If you're talking about the first world, it's really long... I can't help but wonder if what I'm writing is about the heavens (TUT shed tears)

Sister proofreader: Hahahahahaha! (Actually, she laughed every time I finished speaking) But it doesn’t matter, as long as 01 is handsome enough, if you are handsome, you can write as long as you want in a world

me: ok ^q^ (there seems to be a weird consensus on that)
