I train Batman in a horror world
Chapter 56: The Treachery of the Human Heart
The second Maoshan Conference was held not long after the first one.
Not even for a day.
After all, the Taoist priests had just come down the mountain when suddenly...
soon!
The Maoshan Conference has been held again!
Who turned on the light?!
who is it? !
The Taoist priests who had not yet gone far all had this question in their hearts, but they kept walking towards the town.
Shi Jian was the same.
As the senior disciple of the sect, he had to hurry over as soon as the lights were on to take charge of the situation.
As for what major event caused the lights to come back on, that remains to be seen.
He had no way of knowing.
But deep down, Shi Jian had a slight suspicion that he didn't want to think about, but couldn't help but have to.
Please, please don't let it be your own son...
Absolutely not.
......
At this moment, Shi Jian returned to the town.
The town was bathed in bright sunshine, a scene where everything was in full bloom.
This stands in stark contrast to the scene of darkness and howling ghosts and wolves that occurred during the meeting last night.
The street was crowded with people who had come specifically to see what was going on, all talking and watching the scene ahead.
Shi Jian walked through the crowd and saw rows of apricot-yellow Taoist robes; they were his fellow disciples.
Confused, he asked, "Who convened the Maoshan Conference again?"
"I don't know, Senior Brother... I rushed here as soon as I received the news."
"Senior Brother, what exactly is going on...?"
Uncle Nine naturally stayed inside, and he echoed his fellow disciples beside him:
"Yes, Senior Brother, what happened?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian immediately turned his gaze to his junior brother.
He noticed that his junior apprentice was not accompanied by the little doll-like disciple he had seen before; only Wencai and Qiusheng were present.
"Hey, Senior Brother, where's your disciple?"
"I also want to ask—"
Shi Jian was about to speak when he was interrupted by another shout.
"Quiet, everyone be quiet!"
Captain Awei appeared in everyone's sight, strutting around like a bear, his hands gripping his belt.
Behind him, another man with his head hanging low and looking extremely listless was being detained and brought out.
"Shao Jian!"
"father!"
The onlookers didn't recognize who was being detained, but the group of Taoist priests in yellow robes gathered there certainly did.
Among them, Uncle Nine was the most unexpected.
He exclaimed in surprise, his expression clearly one of utter astonishment:
"Oh dear, senior brother, how come your disciple has been arrested!?"
"you!"
Shi Jian glared at his junior brother and planned to go forward and ask Captain Awei for an explanation.
He had barely lifted his foot when a dozen dark gun barrels were pointed at him simultaneously.
"......"
Admittedly, Taoist priests are skilled at exorcising demons and monsters, but the way of the spear is also a way, and spear techniques are also a method.
Faced with this new era of "Taoist magic," the eldest disciple, Shi Jian, who was capable of creating thunder magic with his hands, finally stopped.
"Captain, what exactly happened? Why are you detaining my apprentice?" Shi Jian asked.
"Are you this lecherous thief's master?"
Captain Awei stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug.
He looked around and thoroughly enjoyed the lively scene.
"A lecherous thief?"
Shi Jian cursed his good-for-nothing son in his heart, but pretended not to know what was going on.
"When did my apprentice turn into a lecher?!"
"Hey, at first I didn't believe it either, after all, I've seen the tricks of you Taoist priests before, but I didn't expect so many victims to come today!"
Captain Awei was telling the truth.
He had only come at the invitation of Boss Qian to handle a small matter.
But as he worked on it, he discovered that this seemingly small matter had taken him by surprise!
A group of people, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, told him how they had been treated and how this seemingly virtuous Taoist priest had tainted their innocence.
Logically speaking, he had encountered cases like this involving complaints in court before.
But the sudden appearance of so many people completely blew his mind! (A bat: It has nothing to do with me, Bruce gave the order.)
As a result of countless unjust accusations, Captain Awei was ultimately affected.
With a wave of his hand, he decided to play the role of the incorruptible judge today!
"Bring all the victims out!"
Captain Awei gave an order, and several pale-faced victims appeared, both men and women.
As soon as they appeared, they began cursing at Shi Shaojian without saying a word:
"You beast! Do you even remember me?!"
"That's him!"
"You bastard, you son of a bitch!"
"..."
A torrent of insults rained down on Shi Shaojian. Shi Shaojian raised his weak face and loudly defended himself:
"Father, I don't know these people!"
"..."
He knew perfectly well that this was a setup against him, especially in front of so many fellow disciples!
The Second Maoshan Conference was not convened because anyone encountered difficulties.
Rather, it was to frame him in front of everyone!
"Captain, is there some misunderstanding here?" Shi Jian couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, I specifically considered that you would ask this question, so I decided to let these victims answer it!" Captain Awei said cheerfully.
In the time that followed, under the watchful gaze of the slowly rotating Tai Chi pattern in the sky, a verbal attack on Shi Shaojian began.
......
Meanwhile, the little Taoist priest with bats, who had meticulously planned this whole show, was hiding in some unseen corner.
He watched this scene alongside the bat on his shoulder.
At that moment, a hint of joy of success appeared on Bruce's youthful face.
"With this outcome, I think Shi Shaojian will not only be punished, but he will also never dare to do such heinous things again!" the Bat Taoist priest judged.
"My assessment is that this is not over yet." Foul shook his head as he looked at the scene of verbal attacks below.
"Shi Shaojian is about to receive the punishment he deserves, and in front of so many fellow disciples and fellow students! And this isn't over yet?!"
Bruce squinted his cute face, somewhat displeased with Foll's words.
Although this Maoshan Conference may cause the sect to lose face.
But his plan was precisely to work in such an environment.
Expose Shi Shaojian, this pest!
Bruce simply could not tolerate Shi Jian's cover-up, nor could he tolerate the evil deeds committed by Shi Shaojian!
"If we were in another world, I mean..."
Foul's eyes darted around, and he continued, "In some less extraordinary worlds, your plan would be considered perfect."
"But haven't you forgotten something?"
"Forgot what?" Bruce frowned.
"This world contains demons and monsters, as well as the Taoist arts that you call 'magic'."
"..."
Bruce was taken aback.
This little Taoist priest with bat-like features has a very pure idea.
Shi Shaojian did bad things, and then Shi Jian protected him.
So he brought the matter out into the open, under the watchful eyes of so many people.
Let's see how you try to cover for me now!
From beginning to end.
All Bruce wanted was for Shi Shaojian to receive the punishment he deserved.
"Do you think the feng shui master from before was scarier, or the ghosts and zombies you've encountered so far?" Foul asked again.
"...Feng Shui Master." Bruce remained silent for a moment.
The former wanted to turn Old Master Ren's body into a zombie at any cost, without considering the consequences of the zombie's birth.
The latter... can be resolved as long as the Taoist methods are profound enough.
Therefore, Bruce suddenly remembered a sentence that Uncle Nine had once said.
What's more terrifying than ghosts and monsters is the human heart.
You underestimated the evil in some people.
"..."
