"Uh...it seems...that's the case..."
Bai Jie scratched her face in embarrassment.
After all, she is a ghost too, and she knows what she understands. If she comes out obediently just by being shouted at, then... that would be so uncool.
"What do you call it?"
Li Lin raised his chin towards the man in front of him whose face was covered by fog.
The man looked at Li Lin in silence, his face completely covered by mist, so Li Lin couldn't see his expression. After a long while, the man slowly spoke.
"You also received the general's military order?"
Li Lin's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck.
If what he expected was correct...
Most likely the neck is glowing now.
"Li Lin, your neck..."
Bai Jie covered her mouth in disbelief and pointed at Li Lin's neck with her trembling right hand.
Okay, you can remove most of it, it's just glowing.
"It seems you answered it."
Li Lin crossed his arms over his chest and simply stopped covering it. Bai Jie put her hands on his neck and touched it, muttering that he was more handsome than me, but she just rolled her eyes and didn't comment.
“And it failed.”
"I succeeded."
The man groaned, raised his right hand slightly and pointed at the cold pool water behind Li Lin.
"The general asked me to save Youshui Mountain, and I did it, and it worked."
"Eh... we are treating Youshui Mountain... not," Li Lin raised his chin meaningfully, "the residents of Youshui Mountain."
"People can be replenished at any time."
The man put his hands behind his back and explained the cold facts in an extremely calm manner.
"The land is gone, it's really gone."
"So, you, you choose to save the mountain instead of saving people?"
"No, we chose to use people to save the mountain."
The man spoke quietly after a brief silence.
"Use human lives to exchange for the life of this mountain."
"And you..."
Li Lin was not surprised at all. He raised his hand and pointed at the man whose face was wrapped in fog, and continued speaking.
"It is used to exchange for the life of the mountain, one of the lives."
"Yes."
Bai Jie's expression was a little stiff.
As a normal person of this era, she didn't really believe in those supernatural talks, let alone the idea of exchanging human life for the life of the mountain, which had no scientific basis.
Unfortunately, she herself is the best proof that there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science, so she really cannot use the feudal superstition to refute the idea that a human life can be exchanged for the life of a mountain as she did when she was alive.
In particular, Youshui Mountain now appeared in front of her with vitality, and there was no sign of the "approaching death" that the man had described.
"Ha... is this true?" Li Lin couldn't help but sighed, holding his forehead. "I received the military order. If I can't do it, I will die. If I do it, I will still die."
As someone who had also received a military order, he couldn't help but express his feelings.
The future is worrying...
"I am willing to die."
The man puffed out his chest. Although his face was still covered by mist and his expression could not be seen, there was a hint of pride in his voice.
Volunteering to die?
Really... what a good person who is willing to die, just like those heroes who sacrifice their lives and shed their blood, but unfortunately...
"so……"
Li Lin pointed to the pond behind him. The bodies of the victims were gradually turning into clear pond water. Their lives were gone, but became the life of the mountain.
"So they volunteered?"
"There are always people who don't understand what justice is," the man sneered, "They can only do nothing all their lives. Instead of wasting their lives, why don't they devote themselves to justice and prolong the life of this beautiful country?"
Bai Jie opened her mouth and wanted to refute the man, but before that, Li Lin had raised his hand to block her.
"Why do we have to continue the life of this beautiful country?"
Li Lin rolled his eyes.
“What’s the point of having such a beautiful country if you can’t enjoy it yourself?”
The man was stunned. Although he didn't say anything, the mist on his face completely stopped.
"Did your parents raise you to be a battery? To charge the land of grown men? Or are you the kind that will be thrown away after charging?"
Chapter 231 I am a kind person and I cannot bear to see others sad
A man should sacrifice his life and shed his blood.
The man stared at Li Lin.
He could feel from Li Lin, although only vaguely, that since he was able to accept the military order, he must be someone who was willing to sacrifice his life.
But what Li Lin said made him feel...unacceptable.
Li Lin's point was simply that he shouldn't sacrifice his life, but filial piety was the first thing he started.
This made him not know how to refute. If he refuted, he would be unfilial, not even filial. Then he could not hold his head high and talk about the things of sacrificing his life and shedding his blood. It was as if something was stuck in his throat and he could not say it out loud with such pride.
But if I don't refute it... wouldn't it be the same as admitting that it was wrong to sacrifice my life and shed my blood?
For a moment, the man fell into chaos and confusion.
He needed some time to sort out his thoughts, but unfortunately Li Lin didn't intend to give him this opportunity.
"Ha, you're speechless!"
Li Lin put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.
In a situation like this where the husband thinks he is right and the wife thinks she is right, it all comes down to who has the loudest voice. As long as your voice is loud enough to scare the other person, you win.
So you must raise your voice, the louder the better, interrupt your opponent's thinking, and use a set of combos to make the opponent's mentality explode. As long as the opponent's mentality explodes, you win. Back then, he used to hold the keyboard in this way to beat those three-dimensional defenders until they collapsed and could no longer pretend.
"Do your parents know that you chose to sacrifice yourself? Did they agree?"
"Well... they will understand my ambition..."
The man coughed awkwardly and took a step back.
Obviously, he did not tell his parents, and even felt that even if he told his parents, his parents would not agree to it.
There is a chance of winning.
"Of course, you have the final say in your own life. Now that the child has grown up and has become independent, it is natural for him to have ambitions far away," Li Lin folded his arms and sighed.
"That's right, men should be strong, soaring into the sky and doing great things," the man suddenly regained confidence, "Parents should understand that."
"but!"
Li Lin suddenly raised his hand and pointed it at the man. His intimidating aura was so strong that even the man who claimed to be a veteran couldn't help but take a step back to avoid his attack.
"Who are you to make decisions for others? They didn't even make the decision themselves! Children are their parents' future and hope, and you took their hope away without permission!"
"Ah, if you mean the residents of Youshui Mountain, don't worry. In order to prevent this matter from spreading, everyone in Youshui Mountain was sacrificed, and all nine clans were captured. We guarantee that no one will be sad because of losing a family member."
……
Both Li Lin and Bai Jie were completely stunned, looking at the man in front of them with his face wrapped in mist in disbelief.
To ensure that no one will be sad because of losing a family member...
Kill all nine generations of the clan to ensure that no one will be sad because of losing a family member.
Really, he is too kind.
careless...
Li Lin raised his hand and slapped it hard on the forehead.
He got one very important thing wrong, which was the identity of the man in front of him.
The first person to speak was a general, most of them were from ancient times, when...
The moral bottom line is not flexible, but...extremely rigid.
You can exchange one life for another, or you can kill all nine generations of your clan.
Just like now.
Don't worry, no one will be sad because of losing a family member, because they are all in this together!
Li Lin turned his head and glanced at the pool water behind him. The body he had pushed into the pool just now had almost turned into clear water. He probably stirred it with a stick, and all of it disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes.
"Even if I tell you, these people's parents will be sad..."
Li Lin sighed, and the look he gave the man became much colder.
"You wouldn't care, and you might even say that you hope the families of those people can come to this mountain as soon as possible so that you can send them off together."
"Yes, because I am a kind-hearted person and I cannot bear to see others sad."
Bastard this guy!!!
Bai Jie rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush forward.
"That's true, you really are a kind-hearted person. Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of person," Li Lin raised his hand to block Bai Jie and gave the man a bright smile.
"I am a super asshole~"
The man whose face was obscured by the mist hesitated, and inexplicably had a very bad feeling.
"Your actions are not that difficult to understand. After all, in your eyes, people are just like resources. They can be consumed endlessly and regenerated after death, right~"
"Yes, as long as we protect this land, we can breed more people," the man nodded. "Without this land, no one will be able to survive here in the future. In order for more people to survive in the future, sacrifice is necessary."
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, it's really annoying...
Li Lin raised his hand and patted his forehead helplessly.
Sacrifice can be called sacrifice and can be called a hero precisely because it involves self-sacrifice.
[I think this is a great thing. I plan to sacrifice myself, and you have to sacrifice yourself too. If you don’t agree, it’s just because you don’t have foresight and the spirit of self-sacrifice. It’s okay. I’m kind. I will help you sacrifice. In order not to make your family sad, I let you sacrifice together.]
This guy is just a simple psychopath.
Fan girls are all cuter than this guy... uh, well... at least in terms of appearance, fan girls are definitely much better than the man in front of me!
Well, just from the looks...
"Well, I've come to the conclusion that you're a scumbag."
Li Lin spread his hands.
"He is still a very~unself-aware scumbag."
“I have saved this land.”
The man's attitude was extremely calm, and he was not shaken at all by what Li Lin said. Obviously, his approach had been opposed and even resisted by countless people, but he still did it and did it to the end.
"Ha... this attitude, I say..."
Li Lin scratched the back of his head helplessly.
"You don't think you are a hero who saved the land."
"I don't need future generations to judge me. My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."
Although it was not said explicitly, it was no different from saying that he was a hero who saved this land.
