Situ Qin curled up as if she was saying something unimportant. She did not seem to care about her life or death.
In her eyes, there was no reluctance to live. Her body twitched and she was immersed in endless sorrow.
The others looked at her. Although their eyes were filled with sympathy, they all fell silent and sighed.
Qin Manyun pursed her lips and did not speak.
Although she could not bear to, Situ Qin was right. Once she became the experimental subject of the Ministry, there was no turning back. Once she began to devour, she would become a beast. She would no longer be human and would become a monster that only wanted to devour everything.
This was the biggest drawback of this technique. The Ministry was still in the process of perfecting it.
Only Situ Qin's soft sobs could be heard.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. He said calmly, "Are you willing to accept this?"
Situ Qin's body trembled. She could not help but look up at Li Nianfan with her eyes wide open. She looked pitiful.
She was like a flower in a storm. There was no hope. She only had one last breath and could collapse at any time.
Shi Tuqin didn't know this man, and she didn't pay attention to other things. However, she vaguely heard that this man was extraordinary, and everyone present was in awe of him.
She looked away. She did not dare to look at Li Nianfan. She remained silent.
So what if she was willing? So what if she was not? There was no other way for her to go.
Li Nianfan continued, "Your natal demon beast sacrificed itself to protect you. If you die like this, will you be worthy of its sacrifice?"
Situ Qin started to cry again. She choked and said, "I let it down."
Li Nianfan looked at her. He could not bear to see her like this. However, it was because he sympathized with her that he wanted to talk to her.
She was already pitiful enough. He couldn't just watch her die like this.
He said, "No matter who it is, there will always be a period of time where they can't think straight. It's fine as long as it's over. You must forget everything in the past because it's not important. What's really important is the choice you make now."
Situ Qin said in despair, "But, I … do I have a choice?"
"Of course there is."
Li Nianfan said with a smile, his tone full of meaning. "Just like your natal Demonic Beast, at the last moment, it could choose to recover its rationality and save you. You can do the same!"
"Your Demonic Beast can choose not to lower its head, but if you give up now, then what's the point of its efforts? It sacrificed itself because it thought that you could live a better life in its place! "
Li Nianfan's words were like a sudden clap of thunder, crashing into Situ Qin's mind, causing her pupils to shrink to the size of needles, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over her body.
That's right, my demonic beast has the will to resist that cultivation technique, so why should I show weakness?
If I lose, doesn't that mean that my demonic beast will also lose?
It didn't lose!
I can't lose face for it!
Situ Qin's eyes gradually began to shine, and she said firmly, "Ah Bai, don't worry, I'll work hard for your share!"
Seeing her like this, Li Nianfan smiled. The chicken soup from his previous life had worked again.
Although it did not have any substantial effect, it was indeed unparalleled in terms of motivating people. No matter who it was, after a bowl of chicken soup, almost no one could escape the fate of being hot-headed.
It had to be said that no matter where it was, talking was the strongest skill.
As for the others, seeing that Li Nianfan was able to reinvigorate Situ Qin with just a few words, they were all shocked. However, they also felt that it was natural, and felt that the expert was powerful.
Just a few casual words were enlightening, thought-provoking, and directly pointed to one's Dao heart. It was impossible to do that if one's realm was not high.
The originally heavy atmosphere was instantly diluted by a lot.
"Wu!"
However, in the next moment, Shi Tuqin let out a muffled grunt, causing the atmosphere to tense up once again. A blood-red mana began to seep out from her body, carrying with it a sense of coldness and brutality. It was like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour someone and could go on a rampage at any moment.
This aura made people uneasy, and it made them feel disgusted.
The surrounding demonic beasts' faces all changed, and they all retreated, looking at Situ Qin with extreme caution. Many of them were even panicking.
"Oh no, oh no, this is the cultivation technique of the Ministry starting to react!"
"This won't do. Once she becomes the experiment of the Ministry, swallowing and fusing will become instinctive, like eating or drinking. How can she control it? It's worse than death. "
"Indeed, it's worse than death. If it was me, I'm afraid I would have lost my mind long ago."
"Perhaps killing her would be the best way for her to free herself."
The crowd could not help but discuss softly, with uneasiness, pity, and a deep fear of this cultivation technique.
They circulated their mana, ready to defend themselves at any time. After all, Situ Qin was now a ticking time bomb. They did not know when she would pounce on them, bite them, and swallow them.
Situ Qin's body began to tremble, and in her eyes, a brutal blood-red color rose. She muttered to herself, "I can't admit defeat. Ah Bai, watch me, I can also maintain my own sanity!"
As she said that, she raised her hand to her mouth. She restrained herself, and without hesitation, opened her mouth and bit down.
Two streams of blood flowed down, dripping onto the ground. It was a ghastly sight.
Qin Manyun began to play the zither again. The sound of the zither flowed like a tide, surrounding Situ Qin, trying to help her stay true to her heart.
Li Nianfan's eyebrows twitched. Looking at Situ Qin, who was trying her best to support herself, he could not help but purse his lips, feeling a little hot on his face.
Damn it, do you have to hit me in the face like this?
Seeing that my mouth had just gained some effect, the aftereffects immediately erupted. Is she provoking me?
"Pfft!"
Situ Qin bit off a piece of meat from her hand, and did not spit it out. Instead, she chewed it in her mouth, and there was a lot of tiger fur at the corner of her mouth. The scene was extremely horrifying.
Her hand was a furry snow-white tiger claw, and at this time, it was blood-red with blood.
"Is she eating her own meat, or tiger meat?"
Li Nianfan could not help but be curious, but then he shook his head and threw away this untimely distraction.
At this moment, Situ Qin's body had slowly stood up. Her eyes showed an extreme struggle, and the manic aura caused her long hair to dance wildly. The muscles all over her body were clearly bulging, and this was a state where she was ready to attack at any time.
Qin Manyun's zither music became more and more hurried, and there seemed to be sweat on her forehead, but the effect was obviously minimal.
This zither music … Li Nianfan could not help but ridicule.
Originally, if the zither music was correct, it could indeed have a soothing effect. However, Qin Manyun was obviously not a professional in this area, and the music she used was not good. It gave people a chaotic feeling, and it would be strange if it could soothe them.
Perhaps the zither music was just a technique, and she just wanted to use her mana to forcefully suppress Situ Qin.
Daji, who was beside Li Nianfan, raised her hand slightly with an expressionless face.
Immediately, a layer of ice appeared under Situ Qin's feet, and quickly spread up, wrapping around Situ Qin's legs.
In her eyes, there was only Li Nianfan, and she would not allow anything that could threaten Li Nianfan.
Now, Situ Qin was showing signs of going crazy, and she had only sealed her movements, which was already an exceptional mercy. If Situ Qin made any more extreme actions, there would be another ice sculpture here!
"While I still have reason, let me die with dignity."
Situ Qin's face had already begun to contort, and she was in extreme pain. Her body actually let out a beast-like roar. She looked at Li Nianfan and said in despair, "I'm sorry, I don't want to become a monster, I want to die …"
"Young Master."
Daji looked at Li Nianfan, waiting for Li Nianfan's instructions.
As long as Li Nianfan nodded, everything would end.
"Sigh."
Li Nianfan sighed softly, and there was a trace of melancholy in his voice as he said, "Since you still have reason, why not try to fight? As long as you have hope, you will be invincible! "
In his opinion, Situ Qin was now like a drug addict. As long as she could maintain her reason, there was still a chance for her to overcome it. The most important thing was that she had to have faith in her heart.
Regarding this, he felt that he could still help, but he needed to use a little trick in the mind.
Situ Qin had clearly reached her limit. She raised her hand again, and directly bit off a piece of meat. She cried and said hoarsely, "I really can't control myself, I don't want to experience that evil feeling again."
"You shouldn't use death to escape."
Li Nianfan shook his head, then said, "Little Daji, get me a brush and ink."
Daji was slightly stunned, then immediately said, "Yes, Young Master."
Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji trembled at the same time, and their eyes lit up with extreme anticipation and excitement. Their hearts thumped, and they almost exclaimed in excitement.
The expert's heart was moved … Was he going to make a move?
Finally, they were going to see the expert make a move again. That kind of heroism was really admirable.
This little girl could be saved!
The others were also shocked. The demons only knew how powerful the expert was from others' words and their own guesses. They did not expect the expert to suddenly make a move.
As for Kun Peng, its eyes were wide open.
It had heard from the people in the Heavenly Palace that it was captured because the expert drew a picture of 'Come to the bowl quickly', and it was easily captured. This time, it could finally see the expert's calligraphy with its own eyes!
So excited.
Daji quickly prepared the brush and ink, and spread it in front of Li Nianfan. At the same time, she obediently began to grind the ink.
Li Nianfan held the brush and looked at the white paper in front of him. He was not in a hurry to start writing.
At that moment, a strange aura began to slowly emanate from his body.
This aura was like a tranquil ocean, boundless and endless, yet calm and tranquil. It was like a harbor that could calm down any restless heart.
At that moment, everyone present was infected. The anticipation, nervousness, and excitement in their hearts gradually disappeared. They quietly waited for Li Nianfan to start writing.
Situ Qin, who was about to go crazy, also regained her senses. She stared blankly at Li Nianfan's direction, and only felt that she was surrounded by an irresistible rule.
It was as if … When Li Nianfan started writing, the heavens and the earth were about to stop and become a foil!
All the instability must be suppressed!
"What is good, what is evil?"
Li Nianfan's voice came out of his mouth. Although it was not loud, it rang in everyone's ears and shook their souls.
If it were any other time, they would have scoffed at this question. But now, their brains could not help but think deeply, constantly questioning in their hearts, as if … their Dao hearts were being interrogated!
Li Nianfan's voice sounded again. "Little Daji, do you think there is an absolutely good person in this world?"
Daji thought for a moment and said, "No, after all, everyone has their own selfish desires."
"Yes, in this world, it is not difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Moreover, everyone will have good and evil thoughts. The difficult part is how to choose. Both feet on one side, this is human nature!"
Li Nianfan nodded and said, "Good and evil are only a matter of thought. Miss Situ Qin, since there is a choice, how can you say that you have no choice? Ask yourself in your heart, do you want to be good or evil! "
With that, Li Nianfan started writing. Along the center of the white paper, he gently drew a line, dividing the white paper into two!
As the tip of his pen fell, everyone felt as if the world was being torn apart. Even their own souls were being divided into two!
Half was white, half was black!
Li Nianfan's pen did not stop. On the left, he wrote the word "good", and on the right, he wrote the word "evil"!
Boom!
Everyone looked at the paper and their minds suddenly went blank. They only felt that there were two balls of gas, one black and one white, intertwining to form a Tai Chi diagram. Sometimes they were on the black side of the Tai Chi diagram, and sometimes they jumped to the white side of the Tai Chi diagram.
Waves of the Great Dao flowed out from the paper. In front of this power, everyone was like a child, trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.
All of their past experiences rushed into their minds. Every single thing they experienced, every choice they made, every single mental activity, all of it appeared in their minds. There was good and evil.
These things, one after another, interrogated their hearts, washed away the past, and strengthened their hearts.
No matter who it was, there would not be pure kindness. Not only would there be good, there would also be evil. The key was in the choice.
Situ Qin had already fallen into a daze. She felt that she was in an endless darkness, without the slightest bit of light. It was so oppressive that she could not breathe, as if it was going to swallow her whole.
Just as she was about to despair and give up hope, a bright light suddenly appeared. The phantom of a white tiger, glowing brightly, appeared in front of her, spreading its wings and flying.
"Ah Bai!"
Situ Qin shook violently and rushed forward excitedly. "Wait for me, Ah Bai!"
She did not know how long she had been running, but she was so tired that she was panting. Gradually, a light appeared in front of her, and it grew brighter and brighter, stinging her eyes.
She vaguely saw herself as a child. At that time, she was still a little girl, and it was the first time she met Ah Bai.
She excitedly raised Xiao Bai high up and said loudly, "Ah Bai, from now on, we'll be partners in battle. Together, we'll … eliminate evil and defend justice!"
In front of her, the phantom of the white tiger stopped and turned to look at Situ Qin, who was in a daze.
"Master, I believe that you can maintain your sense of self and stay true to your heart, just like how I was able to overcome all evil and choose to protect you!"
With that, it spread its wings and turned into a bright light, merging into Situ Qin's body!
