Me and countless me.

Chapter 461 Various Inner Demons

For a moment, Zhang Jie didn't know whether Zheng Zha was more brutal or the main god was more brutal, because Zheng Zha suddenly broke through his inner demons and realized his own path, causing the magnetic field to rotate and the Pangu zombie bloodline to start rotating like a helicopter propeller, increasing each other's foundation and strength.

With the improvement of his genetic lock brought about by his strong desire to survive, his score with the Lord God suddenly surpassed everyone else, and it even reached the point where the Lord God could no longer tolerate Zhang Jie's continued fence-sitting behavior!

"It looks like I'm really going to be killed by this brat this time."

Zhang Jie took a puff of cigarette and was about to give up on staying alive, because he had no time to resist. As long as Zheng Zha came to his side or fought with him, he would inevitably be forced by the Lord God to be certified as the captain.

So cherish the present.

But at this moment, Zhang Jie did not have any resentment in his heart.

Because Li Ke and Zheng Zha both discovered that something was wrong with him, but still chose to believe in himself. Although they had not known each other for a long time, he was already very happy to have such friends.

What's more, they had fought side by side before, even if only for a short while.

"It's better for them to live than for me to live and harm others."

All he felt in his heart was reluctance to leave his wife, and the words Li Ke had once said suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What is human?"

After exhaling a puff of smoke, Zhang Jie felt very confused.

"Am I human?"

Zhang Jie really wanted to say that he was, after all, he was also able to open the genetic lock, but as a guy created by the Lord God, was he really considered a human being?

The body is temporary, the spirit is created and given a mission, the soul is simulated, and the memories and thought patterns are borrowed.

I am not Zhang Jie, I am a guide, so I cannot be considered a human being at all, right?
"But why am I in so much pain? If I weren't a human, I wouldn't be in so much pain, right?"

Touching his beating heart, Zhang Jie found that he was still unwilling to accept it, but he had no other choice. The next moment, when he was about to accept his fate, Li Ke directly opened the team communication.

Li Ke knew clearly that if someone opened the gene lock in an outrageous way, Zhang Jie would be forced by the Lord God to choose a captain. After realizing that Zheng Zha had opened the gene lock, he turned on the communicator and planned to open the third-level gene lock himself.

After all, for him, opening a third-order lock is really easier than eating and drinking. He knows clearly the effect of this gene lock, and he also has a similar feeling of opening a gene lock in his memory. When he uses the power of the wilderness, his desire to survive must be even higher, so opening the lock is really just a matter of whether he is willing or not.

But Zhan Lan stood up.

"It's my turn."

Zhan Lan took a deep breath and stood in front of Pennywise. The next moment, Pennywise turned into a person Li Ke had never seen before, and as soon as he opened his mouth he spoke a long string of words.

"You are really a bitch, Zhan Lan, there is really no love in your heart! Even Zheng Zha knows to revive his lover! But you want to kick me out and find another man!"

The man shouted at Zhan Lan at the top of his lungs, his face full of resentment.

Zhan Lan's face turned pale. That was the man she once loved, and now her biggest fear.

Li Ke felt the fear in Zhan Lan's heart and was ready to take action. After all, Zhan Lan was undoubtedly a love-brained person. Such a person would not be able to stand on his own when being questioned about the firmness of his love, so he needed his help.

But something wonderful happened.

"Ok?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, because he felt that Zhan Lan's mental fear had disappeared!
Instead, there was a feeling of a force suddenly surging upwards!

opened!
She opened it!
She opened the third-level gene lock!
Li Ke was stunned, and Zhang Jie was also stunned, but Zhan Lan felt a sense of relaxation in his heart.

"Yes, I have given up my love for you, but that doesn't mean I have forgotten your sacrifice."

Looking at her former lover, the man who rushed into the fire to save others, Zhan Lan felt very calm inside.

She was indeed afraid that her lover would blame her, but just by standing beside Li Ke, she felt endless warmth and happiness. Even if Li Ke did not accept her love or her response, as long as Li Ke allowed her to continue to stay by his side and be his help, that would be enough.

That's all.

As for being abandoned? When Li Ke felt that she was in the way, she would leave on her own.

And this doesn't stop her from continuing to love Li Ke!
"So although I'm sorry, I will return to the real world to revive you just like Zheng Zha did. However, we will no longer be lovers."

Zhan Lan looked at the one she once loved. She had indeed loved him, but at this moment she no longer had that feeling. It was not because he died, nor because she gave up on him because he no longer had her company.

But because-

"Because I finally understood that you have to rely on yourself to do everything! The same goes for love. Love is not about dependence, but about self-improvement! Love is about giving! It is not about relying on or asking for things from others! My love for you before was not true love, but I wanted a backer who I could trust and rely on with all my heart!"

Zhan Lan thought a lot before coming here. She was struggling with whether she was fickle and whether her love was pure. However, when she saw the appearance of her former lover, whose heart was like that of the Führer, without any polish, she knew that her previous love was not true love.

As a writer, she knows a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, and she happens to know a little bit of psychology to help her break up the chapters, and a little bit of philosophy to help give the protagonists in the chapters a certain style. So she analyzed herself in just a moment and understood what her previous love was.

It is dependence, it is the fear of one's own inadequacy, so the desire to rely on others is the same, even the love for Li Ke at the beginning was like this.

But it’s different now!

She has gained new power and a new future. All she needs to do is keep moving forward, keep gaining strength, and keep following her heart!
Everything she wants, everything she cherishes, and everything she fears losing can be obtained, protected, and found by her own strength!
"I will respond to your past love and give you something in return, but I will not give or respond to your new love! Because I am no longer the cowardly me I once was!"

The spear in his hand flashed with golden light, and Zhan Lan's hair and skin involuntarily entered the energy state. This form, which was not very stable in the world of Resident Evil, was completely mastered by Zhan Lan at this moment!

Not only that, under her powerful mental strength, the power of the dazzling pattern became extremely pure. Under the harmony of the magic power in her body, it quickly condensed into a special dazzling pattern energy that was a mixture of four elements!
"So, goodbye, my former love, and——"

This dazzling energy quickly gathered in her spear, turning her spear into a golden light spear dozens of meters long, like the ship-cutting sword in the Gundam!

Then, as she shouted, she swung violently!
"—My cowardice!"

The light flickered, and as Li Ke watched helplessly, Pennywise's body was once again reduced by one third, and another beam of light shot up into the sky and hit the atmosphere of this world, causing the military helicopters that had already begun to take evasive action quickly.

However, their evasive actions were of little use, because the airflow still made them stagger from side to side, and they almost crashed to the ground!

After doing all this, Zhan Lan was very calm. The golden light on her body quickly faded away. Then she subconsciously came to Li Ke's side, looking at Li Ke with expectant eyes, waiting for Li Ke's praise.

But when she came to Li Ke, she hid aside like a stranger, maintained a polite social distance, and combed her hair, looking indifferent.

"I'm fine, Li Ke."

Even her voice became flat!

This attitude once again made Li Ke feel something was wrong, because he felt that Zhan Lan seemed to like him, but it also seemed unlikely that Zhan Lan liked him. This contradictory feeling made him feel very awkward.

"Well...well done."

He could only say this, and then looked at the others, but the moment he turned his head——

"Shaha...Shaha...Li Ke praised me, Li Ke praised me..."

Zhan Lan covered her cheeks, her face flushed, her body began to twist, and she even began to imagine giving birth to a child for Li Ke, then being abandoned by Li Ke, and then raising the child herself and having sex with Li Ke again...

Just thinking about it, Zhan Lan felt that he had obtained supreme happiness!

But Zheng Zha, who was watching, showed an expression that was hard to describe, because he really couldn't stand it! He wanted to tell Li Ke directly that Zhan Lan just wanted to have a baby with you, was willing to become your harem, and even sacrificed his own child.

But his instinct told him that if he did that, Zhan Lan would beat him to death! Beat him to death at all costs!

So he could only watch all this with a distorted face, not daring to say a word, not daring to reveal a single expression in front of Li Ke!

But like him, there was also Zhang Jie who was watching from a distance, and Pennywise who was being resurrected. "Why would I be defeated by such a person!!!"

Pennywise's face was grim, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes. He couldn't understand why he was defeated by such a mentally ill person! How could such a person be fearless?
Even if I’m rejected, as long as I can continue to love, that’s enough!

Is this woman so crazy that she doesn't care about being abandoned and hated by her lover? She doesn't want any reward for her efforts!

What a bullshit!

He can't understand!

Finally, he looked at Zhu Wen!
At this moment, he saw fear in Zhu Wen's heart, the bullying she suffered because of the change in her eyes, the isolation and misunderstanding from other people because of her ability to see death, and the fear of death!
And the most important thing!
Fear of myself!

This is right!

This is what human beings are like!!
“Hahahaha!!! Hahaha!!”

Pennywise laughed heartily. He didn't want to think about whether he could defeat Li Ke after surviving! He just wanted to swallow the fear happily!
So in an instant, countless people appeared in front of Zhu Wen, countless people who bullied her, countless accusations against her, insults against her, and those who humiliated her.

And countless skulls floating in the air, grinning wildly at her!
That meant death, and now, she was in a place where she could die if she wasn't careful!

The most obvious thing was that pair of pale eyes, those lifeless eyes, just like hers! These eyes were as big as a building. No matter where she hid, she could not escape from these eyes and this fate!

"Let you die under your own power!"

Pennywise screamed wildly, causing Zhu Wen to kneel on the ground trembling. The trauma of her childhood, the fear of death, and the fear of her own abilities made her lose her strength, and she recalled the past when she was constantly abandoned and excluded!

"Perhaps, I should not have been born from the beginning..."

Zhu Wen hugged her head in fear, but the countless insults and threats still made her unable to help but fear Pennywise, afraid that he would reveal more of his past and eat her!
But at this moment, something warm grabbed her hand.

"No need to be afraid anymore, Zhu Wen. Everyone has their own meaning of existence. Before, you saw death as an ominous sign and a curse only because you were still weak and the people around you were too ignorant. But it doesn't mean that you are useless and no one needs you."

Li Ke took out a flower, which was also something he exchanged from the food area.

"Just like this flower, it is not beautiful, nor is it fragrant, but it has other functions. It can stop bleeding, replenish nutrition, and even after being ground, it can become a seasoning that makes food more delicious. Just like you, in a world without magical powers, you are naturally not liked, but it is different here."

Li Ke slowly pulled Zhu Wen up. He saw that the girl was crying so hard that her nose was running. However, he did not despise her. Instead, he used the business attitude of Tang Monk Li Ke.

Of course, it’s not the one with white hair who beats people to death at any time, but the one who saves all living beings, embraces the world with love, and guides the path of all living beings!
"So, just like I found this flower, you also found this place, a place where you can show your abilities, exert your power, and be loved for this power."

Gently wiping the dirt off Zhu Wen's face, Li Ke smiled at her.

"Believe this, Zhu Wen, just as I believe you have great potential. Believe this. Even if you don't have any confidence, you have to believe in my judgment as a senior."

He almost made a classic Buddhist gesture, but held back and just showed Zhu Wen his warm smile again, with a little more of Jin Chanzi's kindness and care for all living beings.

However, although he said so much, it only gave Zhu Wen confidence. But Zhu Wen looked at Li Ke, looking at this gentle man, for a moment, she felt that she was not in a horror movie world, not in front of a monster, but in a warm room, a warm afternoon.

The sunlight sprinkled on Li Ke's face, making her want to get closer and get in touch with Li Ke more, to make sure whether the other party was really as he said, so -

"Cherish me..."

"Yes, I think you are a very precious treasure. So, even if it's just for me, use the Desert Eagle on the clown! Come, I'll help you shoot."

Li Ke nodded. Of course you have to give confidence at this time!

His affirmative gesture made Zhu Wen stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head, took a deep breath, held the Desert Eagle with both hands, and with the assistance of Li Ke, he pulled the trigger frantically while Pennywise looked as if he had eaten shit!

Pennywise fell down again, but he hated Li Ke more and more in his heart, and vaguely didn't want to see Li Ke again!
Zhan Lan on the side had a look of relief and touching on her face, her face even flushed as if water could drip from it, but she bit her handkerchief tightly and looked viciously at Zhu Wen who was leaning subconsciously in Li Ke's arms.

How can I describe her current mental state? It's... quite contradictory.

On the one hand, he felt that Li Ke did a good job and was worthy of being Li Ke, and that this was how it should be. However, he also felt an unprecedented dissatisfaction and jealousy towards Zhu Wen who subconsciously relied on Li Ke!

However, she felt that she should not be jealous and should accept it! After all, she was not a good woman and should be treated like this.

Even Zhan Lan herself didn't realize that her current state made her very, very——

Pleasure!

Zhang Jie in the distance was also speechless. He was watching and monitoring the mental state of these people the whole time. But facing Zhan Lan, although he got a chance to catch his breath again by relying on the other party to break through the third level, inexplicably, he felt that either the Lord God was sick, or he was sick.

Otherwise, why would he feel that it would be better for him to die than to be saved for such a reason and in such a way?
But at least he survived. Although he did feel that Zhan Lan's mental state was not right, as a person who was saved by this abnormal mental state, he really had no right to say anything.

After all, the rescued person has no right to criticize the rescuer's choice!
"Forget it... I don't want to say anything... As long as she is happy..."

He silently took off the cigarette butt and decided not to make any comment on the matter. However, the magnetic field in his body began to spin wildly, proving the excitement in his heart!
However, this matter is not over yet!

"It's my turn! Hmph, I won't succumb to fear like you guys!"

Standing under the clear sky, looking at the reincarnations who were experiencing self-doubt, Zhao Yingkong felt that he would never let down the glory of the Zhao family!
She is a killer!
She had already overcome all her fears.

"What overtime, what love, what being despised and excluded, humph, it turns out that ordinary people only care about these things, and they have no psychological endurance at all."

She deliberately emphasized the topic of overtime, which made Li Ke speechless when she wanted to remind her that Pennywise had reached the desperate stage, but she still reminded her.

"It's actually very strong, and it's already the last bit of its life left. It's really much stronger than you."

But Zhao Yingkong pointed at himself with his thumb and looked proud.

"That may not be the case! I am the one who carries the glory of the Zhao family! Nothing can make me feel afraid except that the man died before I found him, which would bother me! Moreover, I am a genius! If other Zhao family assassins are ordinary members of the Zhao family, then I, who have gained new hope and goals at this moment, am undoubtedly a super member of the Zhao family!"

She said this and confidently came in front of Pennywise, and the next moment Pennywise looked at her, countless people appeared in front of Zhao Yingkong. Countless kinds of fear, but the most fearful thing was——

Herself!
And Pennywise's voice also rang in her ears.

"Oh, what a wonderful...meal!"

Following this voice, all the personalities in Zhao Yingkong's body were forcibly activated to feel fear, and countless memories, countless fears and emotions, all poured out of her memory frantically!
The first thing she saw was the process of herself being split apart by the real Zhao Yingkong!
Then, there was the scene where her sister Zhao Rui's hollow demon went berserk and killed everyone, and Zhao Chukong killed her sister with her own hands! So she looked at her hands in horror, but what she saw was her bloody hands that pierced her sister's chest!

And his sister was still looking at him with disbelief!

"No!! No! This is not real!! Blood! Ruikong's blood! No! No!!!"

It only took a second for Zhao Yingkong to kneel on the ground! Under Zhang Jie's accustomed gaze, Li Ke unceremoniously opened the third-level gene lock and swung the sword to block the attacks of the materialized Zhao Chukong.

"Protect the newcomer!"

As Li Ke spoke, the entire earth began to crack, and two equally huge forces quickly began to collide. Li Ke also quickly entered the posture of a demon without hesitation, and attacked Pennywise, who had absorbed Zhao Yingkong's inner fear!
He had his own confidence in letting Zhao Yingkong face Pennywise, although Zhao Yingkong's true form was a fourth-level warrior, and her inner demons and fears were extremely powerful.

But he, Li Ke, is not bad either!
His magic power was all-encompassing, and he still had no fear in his heart. He even couldn't help laughing when he saw Pennywise transforming into a tall male assassin who looked very similar to Uchiha Itachi.

"Pennywise, you don't even dare to reveal your true identity to me!?"

His attitude was extremely contemptuous. Not only was he not afraid of Pennywise, he had no fear in his heart at all, so he could clearly see Pennywise's true self under the illusion.

That is the last remaining ball of light shining with black and yellow light!

So, Li Ke swung his sword without hesitation!

It’s just a creation of the Lord God!

"Die!"
