similar.
What a terrible wording.
To be defined in this way by the evil messenger of lies is truly speechless. Xie Zhe didn't know whether he was being promoted or humiliated. But he knew that getting attention and interest was definitely a dangerous thing.
"That's a really high evaluation." Han Chang teased Xie Zhe, "You should feel honored."
"That's surprising...I don't know why you said that."
Xie Zhe suppressed this unspeakable fear and looked directly into Zhen's eyes. He straightened his spine again, folding his arms over his chest and tilting his head back slightly. His movements and expressions conveyed a meaning that Xie Ze couldn't understand.
"No, you know. If you just... think about it again."
"Please don't waste your time needlessly. If you are willing to be more honest, you will save a lot of trouble." Xie Zhe said bluntly.
Zhen touched the side of his face with one hand and thought for a while. Then, he pointed to Xie Zhe and said:
"You went to the Tengu Tomb. I don't know how you escaped. You probably used some way to circumvent the curse, or cracked it, but that's not important. What's important is... you must have met someone."
"Yin Guihong."
"Yes. Or now we should call him the evil angel of anger."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out from behind him. All four of them were stunned. Because the person who suddenly appeared here was Yin Guihong himself, who had disappeared during the day!
Disorganized thoughts filled several people's minds. Didn't he escape? When did it appear again? What are you here for? From which sentence was he present? Why didn't he have any breath before he appeared? Even the newly born monster has been able to contain his demonic energy to this point. He really underestimated him. What's more, no one heard any footsteps, breathing, or heartbeat when he arrived. It was already tense enough for them to face off against the lie alone. Was he here from the beginning? It's unlikely... But at least now it seems that they are obviously working together. Maybe Lianyu has created some illusion to cover him.
"Since we are old acquaintances, I won't introduce you further." Chen said calmly, "Next, I will ask you a few questions for him. No, it should be said that these are questions for Mr. Xie alone."
"..."
Xie Zhe looked at the two of them nervously. Even though the two evil angels were very close to each other, his eyes were still too busy looking back and forth, making him feel that his two eyes were simply not enough.
"Although Yin Shaoxia and I have different views on some issues, this does not affect our cooperation. For Yin Shaoxia, emotions are a kind of power, and energy can be continuously transformed into demon power for one's own use. In all Among emotions, anger is the most powerful and the best weapon to use. So what does Master Xie think... what are emotions?"
"W-Where did this person come from?" Wenying couldn't help but say, "And what kind of fallacy is this? No matter it is a human or a demon, only when it has emotions can the soul be considered complete. If emotions are regarded as power Using it is like treating the soul as a tool...?! This is simply a blasphemy to the soul and is unreasonable."
Chen suddenly raised his hand, and all the curved bones surged up, restraining Wenying in the shortest possible time, and at the same time pushed her out hard. She was beaten into a pile of bones and fell very far. There was a clicking sound of broken bones along the way, which frightened everyone who heard it. The bones that trapped her were mainly curved ribs, strangling her so tightly that she couldn't breathe and couldn't even utter a scream. Han Zhang rushed forward, leaving Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo standing there in shock and unable to breathe.
"Didn't you hear? I said, this is a question to Mr. Xie alone." Xie Zhe stood motionless. He knew that if he acted rashly, the Jin Mie Ya in Yin Guihong's hand would not be a beautiful decoration. If only Zhen was here, when he hurt his friend's sister, he would have already drawn his sword and attacked her. Although he knew there was still some distance between their capabilities, he would take the risk if they had the numerical advantage.
But that didn't work now. For the time being, he could only swallow his anger and let others manipulate him. Otherwise, the situation may be even more out of control than it is now.
"So, answer me."
"Perhaps emotions can indeed turn into strength to a certain extent." Xie Zhe said solemnly, "Just like candidates who failed the exam, they may turn their grief and anger into motivation and get exceptionally good results in the next year's exam. Even in the exam room. On the Internet, there are also people who perform at a higher level than usual when they are overly nervous. But no matter what, I think emotions will not be the source of human power. People themselves should be the masters of emotions, rather than becoming slaves of emotions. "
Although the words seemed to have no specific purpose, Yin Guihong still raised Jin Mieya in a demonstration. Zhen chuckled lightly, stretched out the back of his hand and moved the blade away. He went on to say:
"In this regard, you are different from this dear friend... and also different from me."
"Then what do you think?"
“Emotions are a stumbling block to human progress.”
"...Really?" Xie Zhe asked sideways, "I really didn't expect you to think like this."
"On this point, there are some differences between my understanding and that of Yin Shaoxia, but generally speaking, there is not much difference. If emotions are power itself, then I...have been a powerless person since I was born. I have everything. I don’t have too many thoughts. In my eyes, ordinary people’s joys, sorrows, and joys are so childish that I sneer at them, and I’m even reluctant to give them ridicule. As you said, most people in the world are slaves to their emotions...I have been a child since I was a child. Then we can’t understand why human beings do many incomprehensible things under the inspiration of emotions? I agree with the last sentence, that is, people should become the masters of emotions.”
"and you……"
"Language is the best way to convey emotions. A slight deviation in the intonation and wording, even if the original meaning of the original words is not changed, can make the listener hear the meaning you want to change. Therefore, I am the evil messenger of lies. Everything is wrong. Wouldn't it be too boring to convey it exactly as it is? There are no loopholes to breed misunderstandings, which is really an interesting art."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Jiao Mo was extremely confused, and there was still resentment in this question. Xie Zhe couldn't help but sweat. He was afraid that Jiao Mo would be treated the same as Wenying. However, Huayu was probably in a good mood now, so he didn't care about it, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he quietly looked at Wenying. Han Sheng had already helped her up. She seemed to be fine, but it was best that neither of them got close.
"I don't understand either," Xie Zhe asked, "What does this have to do with the word "similarity" you mentioned?
"Don't you understand yet?" Zhen's tone was almost teasing, "Thank you, Mr. Xie Zhe. I have checked you, your life experience, everything about you. All of you, I have used the power of the Wuyong family to completely After checking, it was all boring news. But I just realized how interesting you are and how similar you are to me."
"…Please speak more clearly."
"You have an advantage worthy of my envy. There is no doubt that you are the master of emotions. You seem to have no emotions, but you have the strength to control Feng Yunzhan. The more critical the situation is, the calmer you are. Your calmness keeps you awake. , so you can make near-perfect judgments under any circumstances. Perhaps you have not yet shown this excellent quality in the past few crises. But as you continue to experience, you in front of me have been able to skillfully Master this ability. Emotions may not be power, but those who have the power to control emotions are undoubtedly the most powerful."
Is this a compliment? Xie Zhe tilted his head slightly, not quite understanding. Even if it was some kind of compliment, he didn't feel happy about it. Is being appreciated by the evil angel something worthy of celebration? The uneasy gas accumulated in his chest, making Xie Zhe take every breath carefully, for fear that if he was not careful, he would lose everything.
"And my ability to perceive emotions is so weak... Probably, this is why I keep chasing power and arming myself. I can admit it openly. Your existence undoubtedly makes me feel envious. To a certain extent. , we are clearly the same kind of people.”
"No...this is completely different." Even so, Xie Zhe felt inexplicably panicked. He tried his best to control his emotions and prevent his thoughts from diverging further, lest he follow his lead to a point of no return. "We are not the same."
Zhen suddenly started talking about irrelevant things.
"In Wuyongshi, there is a way to tame monsters. When they are still cubs, they tie iron chains to their ankles, and their range of movement is only one foot in radius. No matter how they struggle, the other end of the iron chain is firm Fixed on the wall, they don't even need to be whipped by someone. When they struggle until they are scarred and bleeding, they will stop and rest. Over time, they will grow into uncontrollable giant beasts, able to easily break ten pieces at the same time. There is such an iron chain. But at this time, even if the other end of the iron chain is not strong, they will never try to escape. This is a deep-rooted understanding in their hearts, so they will never waste their energy on unnecessary struggles. Thank you Master, do you think it’s just this rusty chain that traps them, or... something else?”
"What do you want to say?" Xie Zhe frowned, "What do you want to hear?"
"Hahaha... you say I'm a madman, who are you? Let me tell you: you are a ferocious beast, bound in a cage. When you were a child, you were influenced by kindness, taught by rules, and tamed by the world... ...Morals and ethics are your necklace and your shackles. It's so sad... Now you are decorated into the harmless appearance of humans and animals, which looks extremely boring. But I know that you are so depressed, growing up and When there is no one to restrain you, you still obey their will, tie yourself up in a cocoon, and are as docile and weak as a tame animal. And once you throw away the restraints of the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules, you will also be a sober lunatic."
Xie Zhe felt cold all over.
He sadly realized that the rumors might be true, but Xie Zhe couldn't be sure. On the one hand, he has torn apart the disguise that wrapped his conscience; on the other hand, he is an evil messenger of lies, and he should not believe a word of these words.
But these words seemed to be cast by a spell, worming their way into his heart.
Xie Zhe didn't hear a word of what was said next. He said to himself: "I have always longed to meet an opponent who is evenly matched with me, but not exactly the same... I think I have met it a long time ago."
He had to admit that he was shaken, whether it had to do with the nature of the lie or not. Was everything he said right, or did it become right just because he said it? No... Xie Zhe suddenly realized that he had already acquiesced that these words were correct. It must not be like this. This is simply being led by evil agents. It is really a shame and a great humiliation. But, but...
"Don't listen to him! He is a lying monster, and those are all nonsense to deceive you!" Han Chang shouted loudly over there.
Zhen raised his hand again and turned his wrist lightly. I saw several skulls rising into the sky.
In the darkness, his eye was as bright as the only full moon in the night sky.
"Let me help you break these bonds..."
