Once upon a time there was a demon pass

"Hiss, it's so cold..."

The old white ape shivered and sat up again: "Hehe, we talked a lot today."

"Forget it, anyway, you may never believe that a guy like me can tell the truth."

"Let's not talk, see you later."

"There is still a big battle to be fought tomorrow!"

"The eight-tailed fox is not easy to deal with."

The old white ape got up, patted his dusty clothes, all right, filial piety, just turned around and left, leaving only a back view, without saying anything more.

It's just that under the setting sun, its back seems to be filled with a touch of sadness.

More like some kind of self-deprecation.

For my own weakness, for the ridiculousness of this world, for everything...

Just like when it was long-winded before, it told the boring story.

"A person like me will be a villain after all."

"So if I can really write a story, I hope there is a decent white-haired monkey, and likewise, there is a villain...me."

"The direction of the heart is justice."

"Where the body goes is the abyss."

"This may be the real me."

Ji Hong just looked at the back of the old white ape leaving, and he didn't show anything from the beginning to the end, but for some reason, he remembered the words of the old white ape.

"At this moment, is it you, or the... white-haired monkey you mentioned?"

He finally spoke, muttering to himself.

The old white ape paused, stood where he was, turned around suddenly, and looked at Ji Hong.

In the setting sun, half of its face is covered with sunlight, while the other half of its face is hidden in shadow.

Half of the body is in the light, but the remaining half of the body melts into the darkness.

It just stared at Ji Hong across the air.

After a long time, the old white ape smiled.

It's just that the smile is full of gloom, the eyes are cold, and with indifference to life, it grinned, revealing its sharp teeth, and a faint evil spirit permeated from its body.

"This...should be the truest version of me in your heart."

"Perhaps you are right."

Its voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld, illusory, but full of the purest evil in human nature.

Perhaps its current expression alone can scare off countless monsters.

Even if he competes with the eight-tailed fox, he will be slightly better.

But in an instant, its expression suddenly disappeared, shrugged its shoulders, and returned to its free and easy look: "In this world, who knows if it's true or not?"

"At least, one day, between you and me, I will win. When you are dying, I will try my best to show your satisfied expression."

"Like just now, you might feel that you... died unjustly."

Saying that, the old white ape turned and left without interest, raised his arm, and waved it in the air.

Ji Hong didn't speak any more, just watched the scene silently.

Until the figure of the old white ape completely disappeared from its field of vision.

Sunset is fading.

The boulder on which the old white ape had sat, also happened to be half-lit and half-dark under the shadow of the trees behind him.

Looking at the boulder, Ji Hong suddenly smiled, and just sat at the junction of light and darkness.

"In this world, justice and evil are nothing more than that."

"You are, and I...so am I."

"There is no so-called right and wrong, and there is no time to mourn the spring and the autumn. Everything, in the simplest terms of our human race, is... hypocritical."

"The only thing that makes me curious is..."

"Is this character set up for you to show me?"

"I have to say, at such a moment, even I wonder if this is the real you."

"It can shake my mood. You are indeed the most terrifying opponent in this demon realm."

Ji Hong was blowing the cold wind, looked at Zhenyao Pass in the distance, and whispered softly.

"But whether it's true or not, whether it's in your heart or not, when that day comes, I will still kill you without hesitation."

"And you should also be unreserved...kill me."

"After all, from the moment you and I stepped out of this road, no matter who it is, it's already... unable to go back."

At this moment, the coldness on Ji Hong's face dissipated, replaced by a holy and calm one.

Without the kind of aura that keeps people away from thousands of miles away, there is also no gentleness that makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Yes, just numb.

Numb to yourself.

If everything in this world has a script, when you have obtained all your scripts in advance, and you have even seen your own ending, you at that moment are the most pathetic.

"You asked me before, you are not afraid of hitting the morale of the human race and pushing the human race into the abyss..."

"My answer is..."

"I trust them as they trust me..."

"If a strong wind is about to blow, let the wind be stronger."

"How do you know who will be the ultimate winner when the chess game is not over?"

At this time, the setting sun had already set, covering Ji Hong completely in the shadow, as if he was in darkness.

But not far from him, it was still bright.

This light is at your fingertips, as long as he gets up and takes two steps...

easy...

But he still sat on the boulder, motionless, enjoying the coldness and panic brought by the darkness.

"I don't know which one is the real you, just as I have already forgotten what the real me looks like."

"Yu Mo..."

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

"After all, we are all disgusting guys standing in this darkness."

A smile appeared on Ji Hong's numb face.

Different from the grimness of the old white ape, his smile at this time... so pure, kind and just.

as if...

Diametrically opposed.

"After all, we've never been together..."

"Whether it's facing this fucking world, or my weak self."
