The Spirit World

Chapter 414 Sin [This chapter will definitely cause discomfort]

[Ding-ling～Ding-ling～]

I see...

I saw black flames appearing in the sky, like a hand grabbing the thin layer of sky, twisting and tearing it apart, until black lightning flashed, and everything began to collapse: sky! land! sea! forest! desert! snow-capped mountains!
The lightning and thunder roared like exploding drums, making a dull and last sound in the sky!

The volcano erupted recklessly! The flames and smoke covered the sky! In this darkness, I was so small and meaningless.

The tsunami rolled over like a blanket of dust, and the waves surged up layer by layer, tearing everything in the ocean apart! In the face of this endless force, we are so fragile and powerless to resist.

The plague in the forest brought mutation and madness everywhere, notorious and defenseless, spreading endlessly from the center of the world.

Desert, storm! Coming!

Ice and snow, furious! Merciless!

This is what I saw…

Everything you see!
[Ding——Ding——Ding——]

The church bells rang in the old man's heart like a death rattle. His heart, which was about to jump out, was like a fish that could never jump out of a puddle, beating, struggling, and suffocating in despair.

Death may be coming soon.

He looked at the boy in front of him. The green sword in his hand was like a butcher's blade, shining brightly. He felt a little scared because the child was crying strangely just now...

"My name is Locke. Actually, I'm quite afraid of death..." The man suddenly sat down on the church bench. The tiny pieces of the Virgin Mary made of colorful glass were staring at him with their black eyes.

He looked at the elegant Virgin Mary and put her hand on her thigh. For a moment, he was in a trance and returned to the first day he came to Wenti County. The heavy snow stopped near the border of Wenti County. The whole Wenti County was green and crisp. It was a world of difference.

sky……

land……

Why is the difference so big?
"When I first came to Wenti County... I worked as a helper in Longxing Society. I ran around day and night, from one house to another, just because I needed to send money to my mother in the small village. My brother was taking care of her, and they were all waiting for my money. I thought I wouldn't collapse from exhaustion, but I still collapsed... Those days... Thinking about it now... were really difficult..."

The boy held the sword tightly in his hand.

It was like looking at a piece of wood, and those eyes, red from crying, were as red as bloodshot.

He didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"That period was really difficult... I had some relatives living in Wenti County, and the first thing I thought of was to go to him. How naive I was. I should have known earlier... My mother was wailing on the hospital bed... I shouldn't have expected to have any relatives... I got the first cold shoulder in my life... It was from my uncle... When I was lying on the hospital bed, I was thinking... Would my little family disappear from this world quietly... Would I even spend all the little income I earned from working day and night on the medicine I needed... Because I couldn't afford the cost of the Dragon Conference, because I couldn't afford the cost of the academy! I could only do those manual labor! I didn't even have a chance to find a good job!"

Locke smiled, he lowered his head and looked at the wrinkles on his trousers, he patted them and smoothed them out.

"As for me... at that time, I could only lie on the bed, coughing and crying. I thought about my parents... I thought about my brother... I thought about how I had no hope of living. I hated this world so much! Why! I was born into such a family! Why! I can't participate in the Dragon Assembly like other children! Why! I will always be inferior to others! Why! No matter how hard I try, I can't earn so many gold coins! Why! I can only have such a fate! Why! It is always me who faces such a desperate situation!"

why!
Why are there so many whys!
Loken grabbed his fist and clenched it tightly.

The boy just listened. It seemed that he needed to give enough time to the old man who seemed to be confessing his life, to talk about all the regrets in his life.

"I had a fever for three days and three nights. My ears became deaf... My throat became hoarse... I couldn't call this a life-saving experience. The tragic things were still going on. I couldn't read a single word... I couldn't tell anyone that I needed to continue working and earning a meager income here... I was like all the other homeless people... living on the streets... I didn't even think about going home... I didn't know how to answer my brother, my mother... I was exhausted, but I didn't bring a single coin home... I was too ashamed to see them..."

It seemed as if the past was still vivid in his mind, so tragic, but he couldn't shed any tears as he looked at the young man standing in front of him.

Perhaps, this young man would not be so resolute... His black pupils were deep, like black gems, sparkling, looking at him with deep hatred.

"I was living on the streets, sleeping in the open... I was starving, digging wild vegetables and searching for scraps in the trash... I didn't know how to live... I didn't know the reason to live like this... I could only cry... When I cried, I thought of my mother at home... My stomach had long been broken... I would vomit when I ate, and it hurt like a knife. I could feel that my whole body had long been getting worse. I looked at those beasts walking on the street who laughed at me! I endured being driven away by everyone... Only ignorant children would approach me... but they would be pulled away immediately, so that they could stay away from a plague like me..."

It was as if he had really encountered those figures that were chasing him away. There were so many black snakes around him, spitting out long tongues... red light was burning... staring at the old man who was sitting quietly...

The boy held the sword tightly, and the green blade never deflected. He seemed to just watch. The black snakes did not dare to approach him and just circled around his body.

"How I wish...how I wish I was born into a wealthy family...How I wish...how I wish I wouldn't have a serious illness that would ruin my future! How I wish! How I wish I could be as good as them! Live a decent life in this world! I also want to have enough gifts for your birthdays! Instead of a ragged patched piece of clothing! How I wish I could use a real wand to cast spells when I want a wand to practice! Instead of a broken branch! I also want to be grateful! If I had money! I would definitely learn to be grateful! I would also be able to talk and laugh!"

Black snakes crawled into his ears, nose, and mouth. Those tiny creatures left black mucus all over his body, which was sticky and dirty, and exuded a bloody stench...

"I! Locke! I can also become a superior person!"

He roared, like a loud shout! The snakes were furious, flowing stickily all over his body, turning into long snakes that were mating together, like a deep-sea python in a quagmire, entangled around his neck, tightening more and more.

"I can do it, too! I can do it, too!" Loken shouted, and those snakes like black clay splashed out of his mouth! They splashed on the face of the boy who was looking at him coldly, but they just disappeared silently in the air, turning into white dust. The green sword flashed with light... like the star-green aurora in the sky, flickering gently, quietly rippling with a halo...

"I can do it too! As long as I have money! My mother won't die! As long as I have money! My brother won't steal medicine and get beaten to death! As long as I have money! Those guys who eat human flesh and drink human blood won't order me around! As long as! I have money!"

Black snakes splashed in his mouth, like spit, causing his entire mouth to fester without reservation! Black snakes drilled out of his eye sockets, like black swamp mud gushing out of his eyes. He opened his eyes wildly, and his human form was no longer recognizable, and the snakes filled his body that had already begun to fester.

"Only! Only! Only!"

He yelled madly and punched the bench, making a loud bang!
The bench made of bamboo and wooden strips collapsed with a buzzing sound, and he seemed to be about to fall down, but he just took a few steps back without support, staggered a few steps, then slowly stood up and stared at the young man.

The boy's cold eyes were like ice that had already frozen and would never change.

"What's wrong with me killing those people! They are born superior! They are born rich! They are born! Deserve to die! They are the ones who deserve to die! Not us who are sick and can only die! Not us! Not me!"

The church bells rang slowly again. They were not the bells telling the time, but someone was asking for prayer. No one would forget the Virgin Mary made of broken glass on the colorful wall of the church.

Because she is always so dignified and proper, she is plump and full of maternal radiance, and the corners of her specially made smile are always like this, smiling, but that is definitely not smiling at you, that should be smiling at the sorrow of this world, because she is just a piece of broken glass, she is just a Madonna made of glass, only sharp objects and stones can destroy her, not disease, poverty, or even words...

"I returned home, facing a stinking corpse. I looked for my brother, but all I got was bad news... I watched the rats gnawing at the corpse... this tragedy in the world... I looked at the familiar clothes in the mass grave..."

Locke suddenly became calm again, looking at everything, the tiny details, the young man in front of him, he had already turned into a golden bubble in his eyes, with a dull glow, green... should be the color of hope, mottled like a broken crystal ball...

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

"You hurt...Lin'er...What you said...was just an excuse...What I saw and heard...was not as tragic as you said..."

The young man spoke, and he stepped out, preparing for battle. His horse stance was very steady, and he was so skilled that he only needed one second to get into a fighting stance.

He was on full alert, facing the terrifying, sticky figure that was completely enveloped by the black aura. He could no longer recognize the human appearance. Only the eyes looked human. Both the body and internal organs were torn, rolled, and collided by the black snakes. They condensed into such a human shape, spitting out black tongues and roaring human words.

"The excuses for your crimes are nothing but a joke... The girl named Chen Lin is so innocent, but you won't show mercy to her... You are just a selfish evil ghost!" The young man said, with the sword in his hand, majestic and rustling.

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

[Ding-ling! Ding-ling!]

"Why not eat meat... How ridiculous! Absurd!" Locke laughed!
"You are so insignificant! The future! The crumbling, shattered future! It's all proof of your insignificance! You can't change anything! You can't change me killing people! You can't bring them back to life! You can't change anything! This fallen world! The truth of the spiritual world! The future of this world! You can't change anything! You are just a speck of dust! You are just a murderer who uses lynching like me! Damn you! A waste from Mousse Village! The tragic reincarnations of your previous lives have long been seen by those bigwigs! You are just a humble bug! Take the sword! Use lynching! Kill me! You will be like me! You can't provide any evidence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs! There is no way to put me to death! This is the power of money! You will never understand!"

That mad monster! Like a wild beast in a flash flood, it rushed straight towards the boy.

"Kill me! Become a demon who lynches people like me! Your crimes are too numerous to count! Do you think you are clean enough? You are as dirty as me! Kill me! Let these blood-stained hands never be washed clean!"

The young man did not hesitate, and in an instant, the green blade cut everything here!
The brown benches were also shattered.

Those pitch-black snakes, with their big eyes and bloody mouths agape, pounced towards the young man. When they came into contact with the green light, they turned into white mist and disappeared into ashes.

They rose and fell one after another, like a continuous curved waterfall, hitting the blade, as if Loken was flying out and crashing into the sharp blade!

"I never said I was afraid... I never said I would hide my past, I've always been here..."

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

"If you insist on saying that I resorted to lynching... then I can only say that I am enforcing justice... I never kill innocent people, and I never wrongly accuse others without knowing right or wrong... After all, you and I are different... You are just a running dog... Running dogs don't need to know so much... nor do they need much flattery... I am never afraid of having the blood of sinners on my hands, I just hate that I can't kill all the scum like you who kill innocent people indiscriminately. You can give me nightmares. What I am afraid of is not bearing the sin, but I am afraid that those innocent souls will not die a good death..."

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

"Don't you hate it? You also have a tragic past! Don't you hate it? Don't you hate it?"

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

"I can't hate... I know the evil of this world... but I still see the beauty of this world... I hate those I hate, but I can't hate those beautiful people... You can hate me and end everything you have, but I won't accept your hatred, because I... am this kind of person..."

"who?"

[Ding-ling… Ding-ling…]

"A...little...human..."

You should have guessed that this should be the [dream] that Chang Yufeng had when he fainted after being tortured...

Because of the blood curse, he can see the future and the past...

A lot of foreshadowing has been recovered...
