Zuo Zhicheng didn't say anything. His breathing became heavier. He looked away from the woman's face and looked at the food on the table.
"It's not a problem to reconcile."
The woman's eyes lit up. Zuo Zhicheng continued, "But let me lead you. I think it's better for the country."
"How dare you." The woman's face turned cold. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Don't you have to sacrifice for the big picture? You can sacrifice yourself too."
"His Majesty is the emperor, the emperor …"
"So he doesn't need to sacrifice himself. He only needs to sacrifice my interests, right?" Zuo Zhicheng swallowed. He stared at the food in front of him and said, "Since your Majesty doesn't want to sacrifice his interests, you'll be the one to do it."
"If you take off all your clothes here, I will consider the matter of reconciliation."
"You!" The woman stood up abruptly. Her face was red and her chest was heaving up and down. But when she thought of the power Zuo Zhicheng represented, she suppressed her anger and said slowly, "What do you want?"
"Don't talk to me about the big picture. When I kill, I don't care about the big picture or morality." Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "What do I want? Wait until I kill the people who deserve to be killed. "
Zuo Zhicheng stood up and walked out of the restaurant. The woman behind him followed and shouted, "Aren't you going to ask what we can compensate you for?"
Zuo Zhicheng didn't say anything. He just took a few steps and disappeared from the woman's sight.
…
In the alley, Alva suddenly appeared behind Zuo Zhicheng. Zuo Zhicheng didn't turn around. He just asked, "You found her?"
"Yes, sir."
Zuo Zhicheng nodded and continued to ask, "Am I talking more and more?"
"Yes."
He was talking about the conversation he had with the woman in the restaurant. If it was on a normal day, he wouldn't talk nonsense with her.
This was the change in his personality brought by the second avatar.
Personality was really hard to say. He was always changing unknowingly. When a person is born, they are like a blank piece of paper. Their personality is constantly changed by their environment.
Whether it was hobbies, preferences, dreams, ideals, introversion, extroversion, shame, or self-esteem, all of these were created by the influence of the environment.
What a person saw, what kind of information they absorbed, what kind of individuals they came into contact with, what kind of country they grew up in, and so on. These were the key factors that formed a person's personality.
It could be said that if a person was born in a vegetative state, then he would not have the so-called hobbies, dreams, and so on.
Therefore, personality was a direct reflection of the environment, not a person's will. No matter what a person's will was, as long as their environment was changed, their personality would definitely change. As for what they would become, it was hard to say whether it would be good or bad. That was a matter of probability.
Zuo Zhicheng understood that he was now facing a similar problem. The change in the second avatar's personality was as subtle as the environment. Unknowingly, his personality had changed little by little.
Therefore, he asked Alvarez to record his words and actions at all times so that he could constantly correct himself.
After taking a few more steps, Zuo Zhicheng asked, "Has Yan Gucheng been buried?"
"I've arranged everything."
Yan Gucheng, who had almost completely exhausted the power of the Night Seed, was so weak that he could not regenerate his limbs when Zuo Zhicheng woke up two months ago.
After two months, his condition became worse and worse. Finally, he reached the end of his life a few days ago. Although the Night Seed had increased his vitality by a hundred times, it was not unlimited.
Zuo Zhicheng put a hand on Alvarez's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
…
In the southern suburbs of the capital, in an ordinary-looking farm.
There were busy farmers, gardeners, servants, and maids everywhere. However, if an expert were to observe carefully, he would find that the farmers' arms were strong and sturdy. The gardeners' eyes were spirited, and their auras were steady.
Even a random servant or maid would walk like a dragon or a snake. Their eyes shone brightly, and they were extraordinarily strong.
It was in the basement of this farm that a desolate figure was sitting at a table, continuously pouring jug after jug of wine into his mouth.
His expression was a little dull, and his face was pale and thin. There was an unpleasant stench all over his body, as if he had not bathed for many days.
It was Cao Sheng, who had been hiding all this time.
His current mental state did not look good. It was because Zuo Zhicheng had put too much pressure on him during this period of time. When he found out that Zuo Zhicheng had appeared again after the battle at Mount Baotian, he had not slept for two days and two nights.
After that, he had been on the run again and again, and heard that one expert after another was killed by Zuo Zhicheng. The mental pressure on him had increased by the day.
Suddenly, the stone door of the basement rang. Cao Sheng stood up nervously, and a nervous expression appeared on his face. He kept retreating to the corner of the wall. "Who is it?!"
"Young master." A steward walked into the room. "I'm here to deliver food."
Cao Sheng exhaled. "How is it? Did you catch Zuo Zhicheng? "
The steward looked at Cao Sheng and did not say anything.
"Trash, all of you are trash." Cao Sheng slapped away the food in the steward's hand. "Inform father and ask him to come here. I have something to say to him."
"Young master …" The servant was halfway through his sentence, and his entire body suddenly stopped. It was as if time had stopped.
In fact, it was not only him. Other than Cao Sheng, everyone else in the farm had stopped at this moment. They were like puppets, and did not move at all.
Two men suddenly appeared in front of Cao Sheng, one in front of the other. They were Awar and Zuo Zhicheng.
Tears, sweat, and snot flowed down Cao Sheng's face. He wanted to speak, wanted to move, but his trembling body made him unable to do anything.
"Want to run?" Zuo Zhicheng smiled.
Cao Sheng nodded with difficulty. "Let me go, please. I can tell you where my father and that dog of an emperor are hiding. They love me very much, and I can help you lure them out.
I really didn't do what happened to Qing Yueqiu on purpose. I don't know how she disappeared. I really didn't do it.
I beg you, let me go. "
"Run." Zuo Zhicheng looked at Cao Sheng's dazed expression and said, "You're not running? Then I'll make my move. "
"Ah!" Cao Sheng seemed to have come to his senses. He screamed crazily and immediately ran out.
Awar glanced at Cao Sheng's back and reminded him, "Sir, it's not your usual style to play with your prey like this."
"Yes." Zuo Zhicheng was stunned. He rubbed his face slightly, and his expression became cold again. "You've said a lot. It's not my usual style."
At the same time, Cao Sheng activated almost all the magic treasures on his body that could be used to speed up. His entire body was shrouded in a colorful brilliance. He had already arrived outside the farm. He stumbled, fell, and constantly got up. At the same time, he shouted for help. However, no matter how much he shouted, no one paid any attention to him.
"Help!"
"Someone save me!"
Cao Sheng's face was almost covered in snot and tears. He was shouting crazily when he suddenly stopped. Zuo Zhicheng and Awar had flashed in front of him again.
Cao Sheng knelt down. "I beg you …"
With a swoosh, a long sword shot out from behind Cao Sheng and cut his head in half. He didn't even have time to change his expression.
The attacker was a woman in black tights. Her body was so good that it could make a man stare. Her cold face and hot body formed a strong contrast.
She kicked Cao Sheng's head to Zuo Zhicheng's feet. Then, she threw the head tied to her waist over.
Zuo Zhicheng looked down. It was the woman in military uniform who had talked to him before. Her eyes were still full of disbelief and resentment. She couldn't believe that the higher-ups would sacrifice her just like that.
'Did they kill this woman to please me? Or was this woman used as a pawn to be sacrificed? 'Zuo Zhicheng thought.
The woman in front of him said, "She didn't know any better. She offended the Sect Leader. Naturally, she deserved to die."
Zuo Zhicheng said indifferently, "What kind of person are you?"
"Compared to the Sect Leader, I'm just a nobody." The woman shook the blade, and the blood on the blade spilled onto the ground. She sheathed the blade and said slowly, "The Crown Prince, the Imperial Advisor, and Prince Yu have invited you to Mount Liang, which is ten miles away from here."
