Happy Halloween

"The deceased's stomach was filled with seawater, but this is not necessarily because the deceased drowned in the sea. It is also possible that Mr. Housekeeper poured the seawater prepared in advance into the bathtub, drowned his master, and then released the seawater. Afterwards he Being seen watering flowers in the garden by neighbors is likely to hide the fact that the clothes are wet.

"The banker died at night, and the tramp slept in the bridge hole. It stands to reason that it rained heavily all night, and the muddy road can leave footprints, but the footprints should also be diluted by the rain. However, the footprints found by the guards are very clear, as if It is obviously unreasonable to be stepped out not long ago. What's more, the homeless man is already poor, how can he have savings to buy some unique new shoes in the town? It is too arbitrary to judge a crime based on footprints alone, and the inference of criminal motives is even more Lack of convincing evidence.

"So, I think that these two indictments are all wrongly judged!"

The innocent don't deserve to die in jail, and the perpetrators shouldn't go unpunished, so they swapped the positions of the two zombies.As soon as he walked out of the cell, there was a "click" behind him. Mo Yu turned his head and saw that the only prison that was originally empty with chains was also locked, and the deacon zombie was lying stiff on the haystack, motionless.

The dark wind passed through the hall, and the oil lamps on the high wall were ignited one by one in an instant, and the faint blue flames illuminated the dark stone room.Mu Xuanying covered his face with his long sleeves in the strong wind, and suddenly felt something falling from the air. He opened his eyes and picked up a broken parchment roll from the ground.

"What is Good and Evil"

"Zombie Tao Hanting is often confused.

The wicked go unpunished, and the innocent are often wronged. How does the world distinguish between good and evil?How does the world distinguish between black and white?

It is difficult for the judge to distinguish between good and evil in his own position, so how can he distinguish right from wrong in others?

If there is a person who has done many good deeds and also many heinous evil deeds, should he be convicted?Or acquit him?

Good and evil are indistinguishable, good and evil are hard to distinguish, good and evil are hard to understand. "

Mu Xuanying wrapped the rope back and put the scroll into the pocket inside the cloak.

"Brother Mo Yu, I seem to have made a mistake..." He hesitated slightly, "The reasons for my refutation of the "Judgment" are, in the final analysis, just like the information in the judgment, I guessed it myself. Maybe, maybe, I think ...These are all my subjective assumptions. Mr. Butler was wronged by me, and Mr. Tramp is the real culprit, which is not impossible."

"Stick to your choice. Now that you have reached a conclusion, believe in yourself." Mo Yu replied, his voice was calm and determined, "Don't be influenced by other guesses, unless you find a more powerful one." Evidence against itself."

Is the butler the murderer?Maybe, maybe not.

Is the tramp a murderer?Maybe, maybe not.

Right and wrong in the world are black and white. In many cases, outsiders cannot get the whole truth.

Everything is difficult to be perfect, it is enough to do what you think is right and be consistent.

The vibration of the stone room interrupted the communication between the two.The ground shakes, the wall shakes, the gravel rolls down, and the sound of cracking rocks piercing the ground can only be heard, and the prison where the deacon zombies are held explodes.Mo Yu showed a surprised expression.

"W-what's the situation?" Mu Xuanying worried, "Brother Mo Yu, let's run away!"

"Wait!" Mo Yu stopped him.

For a while, the underground prison was filled with smoke and dust, and the rotten smell of the corpse became more and more obvious.Mu Xuanying choked and coughed, and in the hazy field of vision, a black shadow like a hill appeared slowly.As the sound of chewing bone and meat became more distinct, Mo Yu raised his head and slowly called out the other party's name:

"Ghoul."

"Hey, you're not bad, you actually know the identity of a monk." The other party gave a compliment.

The smoke and dust dispersed, and Mu Xuanying finally underestimated the situation in the prison.A big hole was broken in the inner stone wall of the cell where the deacon zombie was originally held, and gravel was everywhere.A guy with a figure like a giant monster stood in the prison, with eyes like copper bells, red-faced fangs, a bent body, and a string of human skeletons hanging around his neck.Mu Xuanying took a step back subconsciously, watching in horror as the ghoul held half of the deacon zombie's body in its hands. As for the other half, it was evident that he had just chewed it up and swallowed it.

The ghoul tossed the remaining part of the zombie into his mouth, chewing with gusto, while glancing maliciously outside the cell.

"Oh? There's food outside," he said.

Mu Xuanying was terrified by him, and was blown directly from the bottom of his feet to the tip of the pony's tail.

"Don't be afraid, ghouls don't eat the living." Mo Yu said coldly.

"It's true, monks don't eat living people, you don't have to be afraid, little boy."

The ghoul patted his belly with a smile, and suddenly that long and thin arm passed through the iron fence, and the strong wind blew the foreheads of the two of them up.Mu Xuanying yelled "Ah", and stared blankly at the other party who grabbed the homeless zombie on the chair and clenched it tightly with one hand, only gripping the zombie until its limbs were completely deformed and slender enough to pass through the fence before withdrawing his hand. And ate the carcasses of homeless men.

Crunching and chewing sounds echoed in the ears of the two, and the ghoul licked his lips contentedly.

"Ghouls eat zombies, haha, smart ghouls can also kill living people, as long as they are dead, ghouls love to eat them." He said with a smile, watching Mu Xuanying hold back Looking terrified, noticing that Mo Yu seemed to be on guard all the time, the ghoul shook his head as if in disinterest, looked at Mo Yu and said, "You, the monk, have no interest at all, and you can't eat even if you are killed."

Mo Yu's body tensed up.

Eh?

What does this mean?

First of all, he can kill the living and eat the corpses left by the living.

Then he said that he couldn't eat brother Mo Yu's body after killing him.

If brother Mo Yu wasn't alive, the ghoul wouldn't say "kill" him.

If brother Mo Yu was alive, why couldn't the ghouls eat him after he was "killed"?

...A slip of the tongue?

Mu Xuanying's thoughts were mixed, and she only came to a conclusion that was not a conclusion.

As if aware of Mu Xuanying's doubts, the ghoul laughed: "Hahaha, human boy, monks are wise men, and wise men don't make mistakes."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, what do you want to do... Ghoul, tell me your purpose!" Mo Yu lowered his eyes dangerously, and shouted loudly.

"Hehe, little guy, don't be so anxious." The ghoul walked to the prison door and stood still, his hand sticking out of the cage, and his arm straightened.

Mu Xuanying was standing just outside the reach of the ghoul's arms, he frowned, and took another cautious step back.

"Well, according to the rules of the dark castle, how about you playing a game with the monk?" The salivating gaze was fixed on the little boy carrying a jack-o-lantern for a moment. The ghoul knew that he could not break through the iron bars and retracted his arms. , "If you can solve the monk's riddle, I will give you the props to explore the second floor; if you can't solve it—"

Mu Xuanying swallowed.

"Human boy, just give me rations, how about it?" The ghoul laughed, "Don't be afraid, kid, the monk is kind, and I promise to let you die comfortably, just for a moment, okay? Guaranteed for a little bit I feel nothing."

The iron bars of this prison were built extremely solidly, even after being shaken several times by the ghoul, the other party seemed to know that the iron prison could not be shaken by his strength, so he stood calmly on the side of the prison, and nothing more wasted effort.

"Your puzzle... tell me your puzzle." Mu Xuanying raised her head and looked at the ghoul.

"Maomao!" Mo Yu showed disapproval.

The ghoul laughed "hehe" twice, and praised: "Good boy, have courage!"

"It's okay, Brother Mo Yu." Mu Xuanying smiled reassuringly at him. The young man's smile was not stained with any haze, and there was a bit of innocence in the world. "Don't worry, this is just a game."

"..." This is not a game!Mo Yu gritted his teeth slightly.

"...Even if it's not a game, we saw it when we entered the castle. If we can't solve all the puzzles before dawn, maybe we will sink into the darkness forever...Is this the meaning of death?"

"No." Mo Yu retorted, looking back deeply at Mu Xuanying's surprised gaze, and said in a low voice, "Falling into darkness...that's more terrifying than death."

"Then we should solve the puzzle." Mu Xuanying said cheerfully, bending her eyes.

"..."

"Ghoul, tell me your puzzle." Mu Xuanying repeated again, this time Mo Yu didn't stop him.

"You human being is interesting." The ghoul sat cross-legged in the iron prison, touched his round belly with a smile, and said, "Ordinary people in this world should be like you and follow the trend! We, You can’t fret over meaningless questions all day long. Look at Tao Hanting, the zombie. Has it entered the monk's stomach? So what's the point of distinguishing between good and evil?"

"For the sake of justice in the world, I want to be ashamed of my heart." Mu Xuanying blinked, "We distinguish between good and evil to punish the evil and promote the good. Only when everyone lives in harmony and helps each other can life get better and better."

"It's not so easy to tell the good from the bad, boy, how can you guarantee that you can punish the evil and promote the good?"

"This..." Mu Xuanying pondered for a moment, "After a long time, you will be able to tell the truth... from a person's behavior, words and deeds, you can always tell the difference."

"Then how can you be sure that you are a good person, not a bad person? Some things, you think you are doing right, but it will hurt others."

"I..." Mu Xuanying paused and slowly hesitated.

"Hahahaha!" The ghoul laughed loudly, "Human boy, now tell you the puzzle I came up with, listen carefully."

A group of human beings live in a town, some are good, some are wicked, and there is at least one villain in the town.

Everyone can distinguish good from evil in others, but they cannot judge whether they are good or evil.

Every day, all humans in the town can observe whether other residents are good or bad; at night, if he realizes that he is a villain, he will become a ghost.

On the first night, no one changed.

The next night, no one changed either.

On the third night, someone turned into a ghost.

"Human boy, tell me—" the ghoul lowered his body, his two eyes emitting a faint yellow light like huge light bulbs, he stared at Mu Xuanying closely, and asked in a drawn-out tone, "This city Here, how many villains lived in the first place?"
