In the dimly lit room, the roaring demon's remaining eye was covered in dense veins of blood … the color of blood was slowly seeping out from the depths of its eyes.
Because of the tugging, the wound caused by the Pipa Lock kept bleeding.
It looked like an evil ghost.
Momo took half a step back subconsciously.
Before he went down the mountain, his master, Long River Taoist, told him that there were not only beautiful things in the world, but also evil and dirty things that you couldn't imagine.
"You're scared! You're stepping back!! "The wounded monster grinned," You're ashamed of what you've done! You're hesitating … you're hesitating! "
Momo lowered his head, quietly listening to the monster's mockery. After a long time, when the monster stopped panting due to tiredness, Momo said faintly, "Once upon a time, a predecessor told me that the coldest thing in the world is the human heart … but the warmest thing is also the human heart."
The wounded monster was still panting, but the blood in its eyes didn't fade away. It stared at Momo as if that was its only weapon, sharp, terrifying, crazy … crazy and fearless.
Momo took in a deep breath, raising his head and looking at it, "I believe this sentence is suitable for the monster race or Dao Sect … Although this world is dark and dirty, it's mostly peaceful and tranquil. Most people don't have too much malice in their lives. You can say they're mediocre, but you can also say they're quiet … They have their country, laws and morals, so the good is greater than the evil. I can understand your hatred, but I don't agree with you … I don't agree with your practice of sacrificing millions of people. "
"Bullshit!!" The wounded monster roared, "What do you understand! Is it your relatives who were cruelly killed in front of your eyes? Or they shed tears of blood in front of you, asking you to save them, but you couldn't do anything!! Have you ever watched your own child starve to death before your eyes?! No!! What you said is bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!! I don't need your approval!!! I have nowhere to vent my hatred. I've lived a peaceful life in the deep mountains and forests! I followed the rules of the Three Realms and restrained my clansmen from taking the initiative to step into the human world … What did I do wrong!!? Now, you still want to use your sense of justice and conscience to force it on me!!! You treated me cruelly, but you didn't allow me to take revenge! You eat the flesh of my clansmen, drink the blood of my children, but you don't allow me to kill, you don't allow me to be dissatisfied, and you only allow me to obey? Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!!! One day, when the roles of man and demon are reversed, when I slaughter your loved ones and eat your flesh and blood, will you be able to smile at me?! Do you dare to swear?! You can do it!! "
"I …" Momo subconsciously … finally avoided his eyes.
"Scram! Don't be a hypocrite! " The monster gritted his teeth, pulling his body crazily, turning the chain of the pipa into a straight line. He came to the front of Momo, less than half an arm's distance … This was the limit.
"Brat!! You don't know the sufferings of the human world, you don't know the evils of the human heart! You don't know our … hatred!! If you don't have the ability to eliminate all the injustice in the world, if you don't have the ability to eliminate all the evil in the world … you shouldn't be kind, and shouldn't preach to others!! If you can't do it, don't boast!! Don't disgust me!! Scram!! "
In an instant, a crazy and ruthless aura spread out from his body.
The dim room seemed to be filled with a face that had struggled out of the abyss … It was a face formed by countless crying, despairing, and empty gazes.
— Save me …
— Save me …
— Don't kill me …
— Father …
Sorrowful cry.
Momo retreated in fright, instinctively retreating … until he got out of the room unconsciously, closing the door in a flurry. He stuck the seal with trembling hands, then knelt down on the ground weakly.
Scared.
He hadn't seen the truth yet.
Momo looked at the small piece of blue sky in the thick fog with hollow eyes … He suddenly realized why that senior said he wasn't ready yet.
"I … I was resisting from the bottom of my heart … right, senior?"
…
…
The door of the underground infirmary opened slowly.
The young nurse who hadn't had a good rest for a long time was dozing off, but she woke up easily.
Hearing the sound, she slowly raised her head and saw Momo walking in silently … This Mr. Momo spent most of his time here accompanying the patients. Most of the time, he would watch them for several hours without speaking much.
He was a very quiet person … but his appearance should be quite sunny.
"Mr. Momo, do you want some hot tea? You don't look well. "The young nurse came to Momo, bringing him a cup of hot tea.
Momo looked at her silently. Her face wasn't delicate, but it looked very ordinary. Only her smile seemed to be infectious.
Momo took it over subconsciously, putting his palm on the cup and holding it still.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Momo holding the cup still, the young nurse couldn't help being curious, "You have something on your mind … Are you worried about the things outside?"
Momo forced a smile, seeming to comfort this young girl who was working seriously.
The young nurse stuck out her tongue, "Actually, I'm scared too … I thought it would be safer to work in the infirmary, but I didn't expect to be in such a horrible place."
Momo gave a start, looking at this young girl, he found her body was slightly trembling.
This young girl didn't have any spiritual power wave, nor was she a martial artist. She was just an ordinary person. In this Crouching Dragon Mountain Villa, even if the Taoist and the powerful monster clan tried to hide their aura, they still released their aura unintentionally, making this place like a huge dye vat. How could a mortal bear with all kinds of powerful aura?
Momo thought for a while, grabbing the young girl's wrist, shaking his head under her slightly flustered gaze, "Relax."
A warm current gushed out from her wrist and then spread throughout the little girl's body, making her feel warm.
"You can't stand it here with your body." Momo said softly, "I'll help you clear some of the monster aura on your body, or you'll be sick in the future."
"Ah! Thank you so much! Mr. Momo! " The young nurse was pleasantly surprised, because the warm aura made her feel much better.
"That's all I can do." Momo smiled bitterly, letting go of the young girl's wrist.
"That's not great!" The little girl opened her eyes wide and said, "Me? I never knew that there were so many powerful people in this world. There are even monsters and whatnot. After becoming a member of the Administration, my worldview was totally changed! "
The young girl's face turned red.
Momo smiled, "Do you regret it now?"
"Of course!" The young girl shrugged, "How can I not regret it! I don't dare to tell my family about it … Although it's a secret in the Administration, I feel I'll be sick if I keep it to myself! "
"Then you …"
"Mr. Momo …" The young girl suddenly grabbed Momo's arm forcefully … Her eyes didn't calm down because of the comfort, instead, she became more panicked, "Will … will we be okay? I … I haven't been home for a month … not even during the New Year. I can't contact my parents, they must be worried about me. Will … will we be okay? I … I … I want to go home so much! Can … can you take me away? You're a powerful cultivator, right? I saw Section Chief Yan was very polite to you … Mr. Momo, can I beg you? I … I don't want to stay here! "
"I …"
Looking at her panic-stricken eyes, that trace of rosy complexion instantly paled once again … It turned out that she had long since reached the limit of what she could bear.
"What … what are you doing!"
Suddenly, the young girl held Momo's palm, pressing it on her chest, "I … I can do anything, as long as you can take me away from here."
It was incomparably soft to the touch … Momo had never touched this place before.
"I really can …"
The young girl stood on tiptoe, her trembling lips stuck on Momo's lips … It wasn't warm, it was a bit dry, but it was forceful.
Her body was so close to him, and her hands were hugging him tightly. It was as if she wanted to squeeze his entire body into hers … She was so scared.
"I beg you …"
Momo subconsciously hugged her, his palm gently placed on her back … feeling her more obvious trembling.
He spat out his magic power from his palm.
The young girl was stunned, only feeling her eyes getting heavier … Finally, she fell into Momo's arms.
He helped the young nurse to a chair at the side and put her down. Then, he took a coat and put it on her.
— If you don't have the ability to eliminate all the injustice in this world, if you don't have the ability to eliminate all the evil in this world … you don't need to be kind!
— What do you understand! Is it your family members who were cruelly killed in front of you? Or they shed tears of blood in front of you, asking you to save them, but you can't do anything!
Momo clenched his fists, then suddenly sat down cross-legged, forcing himself to enter the state of meditation.
He gradually threw away all the troubles in his heart, leaving only one thought … Not long after, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
"Mr. Momo, are you calling me?"
Finally, a voice rang in his ears.
…
Momo slowly opened his eyes — This wasn't the place he had been to for several times. It was still the underground treatment room.
However, the young girl in front of him and Zhan Er who was in the isolation ward were gone — this place was like another place, a mirrored world.
It was just him and … the boss.
"I happened to be nearby." The boss's voice and smile could always calm people down.
"Senior …" Momo took in a deep breath, standing up, "This time I … this time, I want to know."
"Really?" Luoqiu looked at Momo, asking with a faint smile.
Momo shook his head.
"Then what do you want?"
"But before that …" Momo took in a deep breath and asked seriously, "I want to know how you define good and evil, senior. You told me before that the coldest and warmest thing in the world is human heart. Then, what's the definition of good and evil … Why are there black, white and … grey? "
Luoqiu kept silent for a while, "We do provide consultation service for customers. But I'm sorry, Mr. Momo, I can't answer your questions. "
"Is there a price?" Momo gave a start, then realized … this senior was the boss of that place.
"Not really." Luoqiu shook his head, "You should know that the so-called answer is in everyone's heart. Is the answer given by others worth your reference? Is it worth becoming your answer? It's too difficult … Any slight deviation will lead to a different result … Even if you know my answer, it only represents my personal answer. And I don't represent others, nor can I represent you … So, what's the difference between knowing it or not? And if you force yourself to know, will you feel in the future that I was actually intentionally leading you to a result that I wanted? "
"Senior, you're not that kind of person." Momo shook his head, "If you are that kind of person, then … when we met for the first time, I might have become your customer. So, please tell me … even if it's just for reference. "
Luoqiu thought for a while, suddenly saying, "I'm sorry, I still won't tell you my definition of good and evil. However, I can provide you with a paid service so that you can figure it out for yourself. What do you think? "
"Paid …" Momo murmured, then took a deep breath, "OK!"
"Don't worry, even if it's paid, it won't be too high." Luoqiu smiled faintly, "Although it's a paid service, it's just an experience … How about exchanging 30 years of your life for two reincarnations?"
"Reincarnation?" Momo gave a start.
Luoqiu waved his hand … and a strong pulling force pulled Momo into a whirlpool.
When the whirlpool disappeared … this underground treatment room was like a broken mirror, all the scenes cracked … and it recovered to its original appearance.
The little girl was still sleeping on the chair. In the isolated ward, Zhan Er's heartbeat was jumping along with her breathing.
"Good and evil, black and white and grey …" Luoqiu murmured, "I also want to know."
…
…
A swaying force pushed Momo's body to one side. In a split second, his head seemed to hit something, so he woke up.
The dazzling sunlight crashed into his eyes, he saw a silver sea … on the winding mountain road, on this shabby country bus.
"Next stop, Lui Village …"
