All living beings in hell

Chapter 169 - "I want to be a killer"

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the 120th customer No. [-].

A little boy in a sailor suit came in bouncingly. The little boy looked about eight or nine years old, his face was purple, his skin was covered with a layer of soft black down, and his eyes were red. Children of the earth.

"My lord, my lord, how are you!" The little boy smiled and climbed onto the wooden chair with hands and feet.

"Hello, what should I call you?"

"Zozo Dachima, I am the child of the legendary demon."

"The devil's child? Are you the remaining child of the devil?"

"My mom is a demon, my dad is human, and I'm half a demon."

"So you can freely shuttle between the world and hell?"

"I don't know, it should be! I was playing with electric trains in the living room in the morning!"

"What do you need from me today, Zozo?"

"My lord, when you were young, were you often asked what you want to do when you grow up?"

"Yes. My parents asked me, and the kindergarten teacher also asked me. Everyone is very concerned about what kind of job I want to do in the future and what kind of person I will be."

"Then how did you answer?"

"I'm curious, how did you answer?"

"Me? I don't know. The children around me are different from me. Some of them want to paint, some want to be scientists, and some want to make a lot of money... But I don't know what I want to do. The teacher said that I should know it, but I haven't found my hobbies yet. But...but... when I really said it, the teacher told me not to say it anymore, saying that I was a bad boy. "

"what did you say?"

"I said, I want to be a killer."

"Do you know what a killer's job is?"

"Of course I know! Put a knife on someone's neck, and the head will fall off. Mission accomplished!"

"To be a good killer, it's not just as simple as being able to skillfully take people's lives."

"What does a good killer look like!"

Zuo Zuo's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at me expectantly.

"First of all, as a killer, you can't have a family. That is to say, you can't have parents, and you can't play electric trains in the living room."

"I know this! Because the enemy will take revenge on my family and kill them too, right?"

"Yeah, being a killer is not just hard work for yourself, all the people you love will be implicated."

"Then I don't have to love anyone, and I can sever ties with my parents!"

Zuo Zuo spoke loudly, and suddenly an arrow tail protruded from behind his buttocks, shaking left and right in the air.

"Would you rather not have anyone you love, but insist on being a killer?"

"Yes! I like to be alone, I don't like to play with other people. I also don't like my parents. I find it annoying that they ask me every day and make me eat things I don't like."

"Why do you want to be a killer so much?"

"Because he's so handsome! A killer can firmly control other people's lives in his own hands! He can walk the world with a knife and call the wind and rain!"

"Then you are dead wrong!"

Zuo Zuo pouted unconvinced: "Hmph! Where did I go wrong!"

"Although killers look cool and can kill people within a few moves, killers often have a lot of situations beyond their control. The more people they kill, the more enemies they make. want to kill you.

From the day when the first target was killed, the enmity has been settled, and it is difficult to get out of the body.

With so many enemies, it's hard to even sleep peacefully. "

"Then I will become very strong so that they cannot kill me."

"Become very strong, then what?"

"In this way, no one is afraid, and you can rule the world!" The little devil's tail stood tall.

"World domination? Which world do you rule?"

"The world of demons! The world of humans!"

"The world is ruled, then what?"

"Then I am the most powerful emperor! I can do whatever I want!"

"Do whatever you want, and then what?"

"No more, that's my ultimate goal!"

"So what you want is some kind of freedom to do whatever you want."

"Freedom? What is freedom?"

"A beautiful feeling, something that all humans, demons and angels seek all the time."

"Can becoming a world hegemon be free?"

"Being the hegemon of the world, on the contrary, will be far away from freedom. The hegemon of the world is very busy. There are many things to deal with and take care of every day, and there is no experience to pursue freedom at all."

"Then how can I be free?"

"Anyway, being a killer and being a world hegemon is hard to get free.

Both appear to have acquired certain temporary rights or abilities.

If a killer is skilled enough and ruthless enough, he can indeed take lives as he pleases and put himself above other lives.

The world hegemon seems to have a lot of wealth and power, but in order to maintain his position, he often needs to pay more. "

"What do you have to pay for?"

"Things that you don't feel precious now, maybe one day you will miss them."

"What does it feel like to miss?"

"After experiencing the real loss, you will miss the possession you once had."

Zozo didn't speak, he didn't seem to understand what I was saying.

"Then what did you want to do as a kid?"

I laughed: "I want to be a king and rule the country! Or be a general and gallop on the battlefield!"

"Then you are neither king nor general now!"

"Yeah, I didn't want to be king or general afterward."

"Why? Does your dream change when you grow up?"

"The change of dreams is mainly closely related to my heart. From a certain stage, I felt the meaninglessness of ruling power, so I no longer wanted to pursue those."

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

"Because the change of dynasties is an inevitable trend, there will be decline when there is prosperity, and there will be ups and downs when there is ups and downs. I read the history of those emperors, and I get tired after reading. I feel that everyone is pursuing similar things. A bigger country , stronger military strength, richer resources, more centralized power, and the immortality that the emperor himself pursues. Desire is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

But if you think about it carefully, were those emperors satisfied during their lifetime? "

"It should be very satisfying to have so many things!"

"If you are satisfied, why continue to expand the territory and continue to search for resources?"

"The more of these things, the better!"

"Other countries covet what the emperor has, so they come to attack. There are constant wars all year round, and they have to expand their territory, maintain their reputation, and guard the hearts of the people. What do you think will happen to this emperor?"

"There are so many things to do!"

"There may be more things. After all, there are three thousand beauties in the harem waiting to pass on the family line... Think about it, if you were asked to do math homework for a week, you would have to do more than 70 pages a day. Not only do you have to do math homework during the day, I have to run 2000 meters at night. There is no winter vacation, no summer vacation. If you don’t do these things, your world will be destroyed, what will happen to you?”

"very scary!"

"That's pretty much what being an emperor means."

"I don't want to be a ruler anymore!"

"I think, you don't have to decide what you want to do so early. There are many interesting things in this world! And you can run back and forth between the world and hell. This ability is very powerful."

"Then I can be a hell killer on earth!"

"If that's the case, the souls you killed in the world will come to hell to seek revenge from you. There are so many enemies who want to fight with you, so troublesome."

"Fight, I like to fight."

"Think about it, the souls that disappear in the world will come to hell. But the souls trapped in hell often have nowhere to go. Your enemies can't be beaten or killed. They will just stay day and night Chasing you all the time. Think about it, what would happen if your parents chased you day and night and made you eat what you don't want to eat?"

"Wow! Wow! How annoying!"

"Yeah, it's annoying."

"I don't want to be a killer anymore! But I still want to stab people with a knife."

"You can learn about surgeons, this profession."

"If you're a surgeon, you can stab someone with a knife?"

"Not only stabbing people, but also doing many things on the human body with knives, mainly for the purpose of curing diseases."

"Cure sounds boring."

"If you can walk between the hell and the human world, not only can you cut their bodies, but you can also bring the souls that fell into hell back to the human world. You are simply a super doctor!"

"The name doctor sounds very cowardly."

"Don't worry, you can play again, don't think so far."

"But the teacher asks me every day, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

"Those teachers don't know what they want to do in the future when they were young, and they don't know if they thought they would become primary school teachers."

"I don't like them, it's a lot of control."

"Then it looks like you won't want to be a teacher in the future."

"No, no, no, no, no!"

"Okay, I know you don't want it."

"Come with me to play in hell for a while!" Zuo Zuo asked.

"I still have to work, so I can't play with you. Go home early, don't make mom and dad wait."

"Mom works in hell, she won't wait. Dad shouldn't be off work yet, I fell asleep when he was off work."

"Then are you going to find your mother?"

Zuo Zuo shook his head: "I still want to play around."

"Okay, then go and play."

Zuo Zuo jumped up from the chair, walked to the gate wagging his tail, looked back at me and grinned, showing two pointed canine teeth.

"Then I'm leaving, my lord!"

"See you."

"Goodbye!"

The half-human, half-devil kid waved at me and ran out of the office impatiently.
