After watching Xiao Zhengyi leave, Xu Shenxing continued to ask curiously, "There's no one else here now (Mo Li sneaked into the Earth God's house to play games), are you still not going to tell me?"
"If I don't tell you, you won't give up, right?"
Earth God and Xu Shenxing looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
"Well, although it's a bit troublesome, if you really want to find it, I … No, to be precise, it's Mo Li, she still has a way to find that thing."
Xu Shenxing nodded.
Then he added in his heart, At most, it will increase the possibility of the world being destroyed.
"Well, since you insist on knowing …" Earth God sighed and began to talk about some of the situations he knew, "Although you shouldn't have studied the myths of this world, you should have more or less heard of the story of women turning into monsters, right?"
"Women turning into monsters?" Xu Shenxing pondered for a moment and said with uncertainty, "Are you referring to the story of the Jersey Devil?"
The Jersey Devil was a legendary monster that lived in the wilderness of New Jersey. It was once considered the murderer of a large number of livestock mysteriously slaughtered. There were sightings of this monster from the early American Indian era until 1991. It could be regarded as one of the oldest ghost stories in the West.
There were many stories about the birth of this monster. One of them was that a young woman named Mrs. Leeds was cursed by the gypsies and turned into this horrible monster.
"Why don't you know about the more popular stories, but you know about such an unpopular type …"
Earth God Loli didn't seem to know about this ghost story. She complained with some anger, "Aren't there other famous ones? Elizabeth Bartholomew who became a vampire in Pennsylvania, Kiyohime who turned into a giant snake in ancient Japan, and Lamia who was turned into a half-human half-snake monster by Queen Hera in ancient Greece … Even in this country, isn't there a story of a beautiful queen who turned into a fox? Whether it's Daji in "Investiture of the Gods" or the white-faced fox demon in Picchu in "Journey to the West". "
"Wait a minute, this isn't right, is it? The first few were people who turned into monsters, but the two you mentioned were monsters themselves! "Xu Shenxing immediately said," Do you think I haven't read The Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West? "
Elizabeth Bartoli killed nearly 800 girls and bathed and drank their blood to maintain her youth, so she was often regarded as the origin of vampires alongside Dracula. Kiyohime couldn't get the person she loved, so she simply turned into a snake and burned her lover Anzhen to death. Lamia was deprived of sleep because of Hera's jealousy and became a half-human half-snake monster, and because her children were killed by Hera, she became crazy and kept killing and devouring children day and night …
"It's been so long. Can you guarantee that the records in those books are correct? Can't they be like Elizabeth Bartoli because they like to take pleasure in the process of killing and torturing others, so they became monsters? " The mushroom-headed girl continued, "And let's not talk about Kiyohime … Whether it's Elizabeth Bartoli, the half-human half-snake Lamia, or the fox in Picchu, although the way is different, in a sense, they all like to eat people. Even Daji has eaten Bigan's heart."
Xu Shenxing thought about it and felt that it was better not to complain about why a Chinese god would know those foreign mythical stories.
So he asked, "You mean, the criminal who committed this crime is also the same type?"
"…"
After a long silence, the god of earth said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the previous god of earth in Jiang Jin."
"… What?" Xu Shenxing, who didn't expect that there would be such a development, picked his ears in disbelief.
"You didn't hear it wrong, the other party is likely to be a very ancient god … She has been the god of earth in Jiang Jin for about 1,300 years. The other party should be much older than that. It is likely that she is the kind of existence that has been born in the Mythological Era."
Earth Goddess Loli's expression seemed to relax a little. It seemed that she also wanted to find someone to confide in, but she didn't have a suitable person in the past. Plus, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she didn't say anything.
"That god of earth … became a monster?"
"That's right. From the moment she became a land god, her immortal record was canceled. A low-level god like a land god is actually not much different from a so-called wandering ghost after losing her Divine Position …" Earth God Loli laughed self-deprecatingly.
"But even so, no matter what you said before, she is a monster that is harmful to human beings after eating people."
"I won't deny this, but I still want to tell you the story of her past …"
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!" Xu Shenxing covered his ears and shouted.
"Are you the heroine of a romance novel?!"
"Because the so-called story, secret, and so on will definitely clear that guy's name, right?" Xu Shenxing said with certainty, "Instead of listening to that kind of thing and not being able to do it, it is better not to listen to anything, not to know anything, and directly beat the other party into pieces."
"…" Perhaps because she felt that Xu Shenxing's words made sense, the god of earth loli also fell silent.
"And eating people is one of the absolute bottom lines … No matter what kind of past or secret, once you eat people, you will never be able to stand in the light." Xu Shenxing said in a deep voice. His rare serious expression made the god of earth loli a little absent-minded, "Instead of being tortured because of a conscience, it is better to let it rest in peace."
As long as they had a certain degree of individual strength, the binding force of the world's laws would become very weak for superhumans like them. Even if Xu Shenxing was a law-abiding person, he would not act like a righteous policeman to uphold the justice of the law just because some superhumans killed the dregs of society.
But eating people was not allowed. Eating people was a behavior that completely broke the bottom line of morality. No matter if it was a human or something else, once it was done, Xu Shenxing would regard it as a harmful monster and destroy it.
That was it.
"Is that so … you are right …" The current god of earth of Jiang Jin seemed to have given up. He gave up on himself and revealed a tired smile, "Letting that lord rest in peace might be a good choice."
Just when the atmosphere became a little heavy, Mo Li suddenly appeared.
"Mushroom, I overwrote the record of the game you are playing (about 500 hours)." Saying this, she hit her own head expressionlessly, stuck out her tongue and acted cute, "Hehe ~"
