Zongman: I have really retired!

Xia Youjie watched as he killed 112 villagers and then lit the village on fire. The raging fire opened its bloody mouth like a demon and swallowed up all evil without mercy.

The flames spread upward like a ferocious giant beast, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing up everything in its path. It jumped and danced, as if enjoying the feast of destruction. He was venting his anger wantonly, just like [Xia Youjie] at this time.

As the smoke rose, people cried and shouted in terror, but in the end, the blood and ruins left on the ground covered up the countless crimes that had been committed.

Xia Youjie subconsciously tried to stop him. He mustered up the courage to spread his arms and block him in front of him. He wanted to save his mother who was screaming desperately in the collapsed house. He wanted to comfort and hug the girl who had witnessed the whole process of her parents' death...

In short, Xia Youjie wants to protect them, even though in his heart, they may not be worth his protection...

Maybe it's possible...

Xia Youjie still chose to stand in front of them without hesitation.

But at that moment, he could clearly see the despair and madness in the young man's eyes - he had decided to abandon everything and walk towards a path of no return.

Somehow, Xia Youjie took a step back, and that one of the strongest young men, full of hardship and despair, just passed him by.

The two people's eyes met and missed each other across time and space. I saw the exhaustion and determination in his eyes, and I also saw his confusion and despair.

Also...he personally killed the self who used to protect the non-magician...

I wanted to call him, give him a hug, tell him everything would be fine, and tell him to look back at the people around him.

But his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

If you look at the future from the position of your childhood, you will say that your future is uncertain, you will say that your future is boundless; but if you stand at the end and look at the trajectory of your life, you will only see one road; A destined path.

You don’t know what destiny is, then you know what destiny is. -- Shi Tiesheng's "Retreat Notes"

Xia Youjie slowly stretched out his hand, and he realized in a daze that he was just a passing guest in the cracks of his memory...

——Xia Youjie was unable and had no position to stop [Xia Youjie]...

——————————————————————————————————————

In fact, privately, Xia Youjie didn't think his anger was wrong, but as a normal person, he still couldn't accept [Xia Youjie's] behavior.

Of course, he could justify Xia Youjie's behavior by using the reason that the ignorant villagers in the village locked up and tortured two innocent magician children, and even said that they were the culprits that caused the disappearance and death of the residents.

But from another perspective, purely from the perspective of a bystander, is the truth really like this?

How was the curse spirit born?

It's a curse born from people's negative emotions...

The report mentioned that there once was a magic family in this village...

The two children had obviously been abused recently...

Another villager said that my grandson was almost killed by these two people...

The characteristics of the cursed spirit that cannot be seen by ordinary people...

He has been attacking the villagers with incredible power...

Maybe because he couldn't empathize with [Xia Youjie] now, his brain became extra sensitive under the stimulation of adrenaline.

When Xia Youjie looked at it from the perspective of a simple bystander, he found that everything was too weird. Xia Youjie understood himself. If this series of blows hadn't come too fast, too hard and hit the pain point, then No matter what, that Xia Youjie would never do such a crazy thing so easily.

Everything happened too fast and too coincidental, how long has it been? That Xia Youjie has only been in high school for three years. Except for the first year, which was normal, the remaining two years were not normal. He always felt... something was not right...

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Everything around him became extremely quiet. He could hear his breathing and heartbeat. Everything around him was like a black and white photo with faded colors. At this moment when the wind stopped, he closed his eyes. Closing his eyes, his thoughts began to wander to unknown distances.

People instinctively avoid being deceived by others, but it is difficult to prevent themselves from being deceived.

The little Xia Youjie sat on the sofa and pushed the adults who were harassing him out of boredom. Now that he has been studying for a day, he just wants to watch an animation. Why is it so difficult?

"You're too close!"

"Hmm... Tom and Jerry? I thought you wouldn't like to see this kind of thing."

"Then what should I watch? Current news? Or the animal world you like to watch, or are you planning to take me to an art exhibition again? Can't you understand that I am still a child and let me watch something that a child should watch? ?"

Xia Youjie was very annoyed. Although he didn't like watching those things, if you add Meng Shuxu's jokey attitude and always ambiguous answers, it would always frustrate Xia Youjie, the little bully who dominated the neighborhood.

Probably no one would like an adult who is always pretentious and babbles a bunch of inexplicable life principles in front of you.

Meng Shuxu gently rubbed Xia Youjie's smooth little face, and said in a playful tone: "You are really ungrateful. Do you know how many people come to beg me to attend my class outside? No amount of money can exchange for this. Something to come.”

"How much do I care about you? If you don't understand, you just don't understand!! And don't rub my face!!"

Xia Youjie slapped Meng Shuxu's hand away with some fangs and claws.

Meng Shuxu smiled and let go of his hand, hugging the angry Xia Youjie and watching a cartoon he rarely watched.

Tom and Jerry? Although it is a bit childish, it is still childlike. Just think of it as reminiscing your youth with your child, even though he did not watch such childish things when he was a child.

Xia Youjie struggled in Meng Shuxu's arms for a while, and his eyes were quickly attracted to the animation on the TV.

This episode is roughly about a cat that stole a chicken and then framed the dog for it. In the end, the mouse took a photo and threatened it, and then used various funny tricks to prevent the truth from being discovered. However, the owner still found out and kicked him out of the house. story.

Xia Youjie laughed out loud at the various extreme operations performed by the cat inside, but Meng Shuxu said thoughtfully:

"People instinctively avoid being deceived by others, but it is difficult to prevent themselves from being deceived. Do you know why?"

what?

Xia Youjie's face froze, why? What is this?

They just watched an episode of the cartoon, right?

But it was obvious that Meng Shuxu didn't care about the stunned Xia Youjie. He continued: "Actually, the male and female owners don't care which cat or dog stole the chicken. They just don't want to increase the burden of raising one more."

“You see, they threw the falsely accused dog out of the house without even a single investigation.

The cat is a little smart, but not much. He knows that he can stay only because of his preemptive strike, not because of his high status in the hearts of the male and female protagonists, so he works hard to prevent the male and female protagonists from discovering the truth.

If it were me, the first thing I should do at this moment is to negotiate with the mouse to buy time. It doesn’t matter if it’s about bundling interests, or it doesn’t matter if I figure out the opponent and then stab him. Anyway, I have 10,000 ways to make him unable to speak, so the cat is still too much. Stupid. "

Meng Shuxu raised his hand and touched Xia Youjie's soft hair again, with complex light and dark lights in his eyes.

"Or in fact, no one cares about the truth at all. People will only believe the truth they want to see. They just need a reason, a reason to convince themselves.

Maybe they had no intention of doing this, but it just happened, and they happened to have this idea at this time. It was like throwing a cigarette butt that was not completely extinguished into a cardboard box full of waste newspapers. They are like cigarettes that are still burning when there is no flame in the smoldering state. It's really magical..."

Meng Shuxu's voice suddenly became softer, but then he uttered a sentence clearly and calmly.

"So they subconsciously ignored all the unreasonable factors and decided the truth without authorization. Then they stupidly made their own subconscious choices following the truth that they didn't know was right or wrong and the hormones that surged up in their heads..."

How sad...

The little Xia Youjie strangely saw a hint of unknown sadness on the face of Meng Shuxu who was laughing loudly.

"Who are you feeling sorry for..."

Xia Youjie asked softly. His voice seemed particularly soft in the room where the cartoons continued to play. The not really clear voice was still captured by Meng Shuxu, a magician.

Meng Shuxu's laughter was stuck in his throat, but immediately the expression on his face took on Xia Youjie's familiar joking smile, and his tone once again changed the topic without any trace of tension:

"Ah, I'm sorry. I almost forgot that Jay is an intuitive system, but if you want to live well in this society, you can't just rely on your intuition. After all, muscular idiots with an intuitive system can easily be deceived by their own intuition and then do whatever they want. It’s a bad thing…”

The content behind Meng Shuxu was vague, and Xia Youjie couldn't remember whether he had forgotten this memory or whether Meng Shuxu didn't say the rest of the words.

Although the cartoon of Tom and Jerry has nothing to do with Xia Youjie's massacre of villagers, Meng Shuxu's thoughts when he was bored unexpectedly provided Xia Youjie with an idea.

Subconsciously ignoring all unreasonable factors...determining the truth without authorization...and then randomly making the choice that he most subconsciously wanted to make...

How similar...how consistent...

Xia Youjie lowered his head in despair. He began to have some difficulty recalling all the things that happened to Xia Youjie when he entered school that he still remembered clearly.

It is undeniable that Gojo Satoru is a member of the Yusan family. The darkness of the big family makes him extremely aware of the cruelty of this world. As a doctor, she has seen the arrival and departure of countless people, the joys and sorrows of countless people, so she has long been prepared to face various unexpected arrivals, and she also knows the distortions and sins of human nature.

Only Xia Youjie is an ordinary person who became a monk on the way. Because of his parents’ education, he still has a boyish personal heroism in him.

Compare a newborn to a piece of pure white paper. As he grows, various experiences leave various traces on the paper. Some traces are so heavy that they penetrate. When this piece of paper is pierced, it will be like the kite that I loved most when I was a child. Even if I tighten my grip on the thin string, it will be pecked by birds, wet by the rain, and become a thin shadow that can never be seen again.

White paper that is too clean is always the most likely to be contaminated by sludge...

Although Xia Youjie's second life did not live as long as he remembered, he learned a lot.

His uncle Meng Shuxu is the second-in-command of the Administration, and his position is no less than that of the Minister of Defense now that the strange thing has struck.

His aunt Xia Yan is the head of the first district of the administration headquarters. Using the analogy of her status in the magic world, she can be said to be one of "Window's" immediate superiors.

Although his parents are not very strong, they are also outstanding among the current magicians.

And the most terrifying old man in the family is actually an old man who has come from an era when wars were plagued by cursed spirits.

What if you were born in this kind of family, even if you weren't born into a family with a history of thousands of years of magic? The education level that Xia Youjie received was no worse than that of Gojo Satoru, the head of the Gojo family in this life. Even because he had an uncle who was "good at teaching others", Xia Youjie in this life was even exposed to the dark side of the world earlier than his peers.

Xia Youjie is not good at reasoning, and his perspective has always been fixed on [Xia Youjie], not to mention that these memories are also vague and he has too few clues. What is the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack.

what! ! !

Why is it that even though he has been reincarnated, he is still bothered by the things that happened in his previous life? !

Xia Youjie took a deep breath and controlled the memory in front of him to rewind, starting from Xia Youjie's first step into the village.

From the details of the dogs barking in the village to every expression and action of the villagers complaining, they all resurfaced in his mind. He carefully analyzed every possibility, trying to find any clues that he had overlooked.

When the bloody "sharp knife" with cold light passed through the girl's heart again, when the dazzling bright red blood spurted out again, when the girl's eyes looking at him once again changed from joy to despair and sorrow, Xia Youjie got A truth came out that he didn't want to believe.

[Xia Youjie] was plotted, from beginning to end, and [Xia Youjie] himself probably didn't know this until his death.

This is a conspiracy that started when [Xia Youjie] entered school.

Take the massacre of the village this time as an example. On the surface [Xia Youjie] can be seen as a non-magician persecuting the magician who has been desperately protecting them.

But what if someone deliberately provokes [Xia Youjie]'s emotions?

The report clearly states that there is a family of sorcerers in this village. The two girls locked in the cage are obviously sorcerers, so there is a high probability that their parents are also sorcerers. The family of spellcasters in this village, then...where are their parents, the guardians?

Xia Youjie knew that some ancient villages would enshrine some beings. The older the village, the more they abide by this rule. Although the true and false are mixed among them, there is indeed no shortage of beings such as shrines and town houses. Famous family of magicians.

In his second life, the old man from his family returned to the village after retirement and became a famous "Feng Shui master" in all the villages in the country. The old man was young but his status was frightening. Who was the official in the village? Dare you not invite him? Whether he goes or not is one thing. Who dares not to invite him? Believe it or not, the next day I was stabbed in the back by the whole village.

To put it bluntly, when Xia Youjie was a child, he beat all the children in the village until they cried for father and mother. The parents of those children could only say with a smile that he did a good job and then go back and beat their unlucky children again.

It would be fine if there were no supernatural beings in this world, but such things existed in both Xia Youjie's first and second lives! !

Fortunately, in some prosperous areas in ancient times, there would be specialized people to clean up these beings. In this way, most people in these areas would never see these beings in their lives, but they still believed in them.

In contrast, if ordinary villages where people living in remote areas do not have the protection of big forces want to develop and live a better life, can they not only rely on some villages to live in seclusion or to inherit prophets and goddesses?

Most of the magician families who live in seclusion in villages or deep mountains will actually gain the respect and support of the villagers in these names.

It stands to reason that in a village like this with a family lineage of spellcasters, even if they don't believe in cursed spirits, which are invisible to ordinary people and look like ghosts, they would rather believe in them than in them. Bar.

And the villager said something very clearly - these two people have brain problems and have been attacking the villagers with incredible power.

Xia Youjie speculated that this villager should know that there are similar curse spirits in the world, and according to another villager's explanation, my grandson was almost killed by these two people. Xia Youjie can probably guess this. the truth.

[Xia Youjie] was in a very bad state at the time. What would [Xia Youjie] think when he saw the scarred little magician?

It is clear that the cursed spirits harmed ordinary people who could not see them, but ordinary people thought that those who harmed them were the spellcasters who worked hard to protect them, and even ungratefully relied on the strength of adults to harm two weak young spellcasters. …

In that case... everyone would think so.

But what if there is a mastermind behind everything that has been controlling everything?

If the parents of the two children have been guarding the village, then what will the two children who were taught by their parents to protect the villagers do when they see the curse spirit trying to attack and harm the villagers when their parents are missing?

——Of course he subconsciously rushed to protect the villagers.

As long as the mastermind behind the scenes lets the curse spirit attack ordinary people in front of the villagers and the two children, the two young curse masters who are responsible for protecting the villagers will rush forward without any worries.

To ordinary people who can't see the cursed spirit, don't they just look like two children attacking the villagers with incredible power?

Once or twice, but what if the two girls were present every time the villagers were attacked?

The human heart cannot stand the test;

Xia Youjie clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to suppress the burning anger in his heart. His fingers were almost embedded in the palm of his hand, and his lips were trembling slightly. He even couldn't help but wonder why the mastermind behind the scenes had to use children, two children who couldn't even speak clearly or explain...

Because he is a child, even a magician cannot resist an ordinary person who is an adult...

Because he was a child, he could not clearly explain what happened to the villagers who were overwhelmed by anger...

Also because he is a child, [Xia Youjie], who takes it as his duty to protect the weak, will subconsciously want to protect the young magician who is even weaker under the aggressiveness of the villagers...

With the anger surging in his heart, Xia Youjie once again recalled all the details of the incident.

Is there something wrong with these two kids’ minds?

If those villagers blame all problems on these two children, if they know the existence of curse spirits and conjurers, then the two children who have been attacking the villagers with incredible power are not possessed by evil spirits and have a diseased brain. has a problem?

No wonder they would say that these two people were the cause of a series of events...

It's true...

If nothing happened when their parents were alive but not when they were away, or if accidents happened frequently when there were only two children, then wouldn't they be the cause of a series of things...
