"It was not forced, and there was no misunderstanding...the fact is that your master was killed by his own hands."
There is no long-lasting blood feud in this. If you want to say whether Wen Jiu regrets it now, the answer is meaningless. Because indeed, he made such a decision out of his own will. But could he really kill him without any hesitation in front of his master who was so kind to him?
Probably, there is no time to hesitate.
"It's a great luck that that room is still there. The other rooms have been used as warehouses. The only place where the murder occurred is an empty house. Although it is true that liquids can be used to restore the scene as much as possible, but the information It is still limited. The water and blood that belonged to that year have basically disappeared, or returned to the ocean, or melted into the air. Most of the information that can be read comes from the objects themselves. And then there is...sound. If More help is needed to restore the conversation at the scene. Fortunately, the furnishings at that time were basically unchanged, and we still obtained very valuable information. But..."
"But?" Wenying asked eagerly.
"In a place like this, there is room for the person who helped us to do anything. But with Kanna-kun's supervision, and we have negotiated terms, there should be no problem..."
Xie Zhe looked at her and asked a question.
"Is the person you mentioned helping you...an evil envoy?"
"..."
Jiao Mo nodded.
This is really not exciting news. It would be better to say that they were still very sensitive to such words after just getting rid of two evil angels. Jiao Mo also knew that almost everyone suffered a lot, especially in the battle against Liar. But it is an established fact that she and Kanna-kun have "cooperated" with an evil envoy. Even if they want to treat it as a joke, even if they want to pretend that it has not happened, it is unrealistic.
"How do you...Kanna-kun, he-uh, no, um..."
Even Shi Wuqi didn't understand what the man was thinking.
"He should know what he is doing." Master Lintian thought, "Since, I remember the assistance of Guixiangu. Furthermore, this is equivalent to using the power of Death Shadow Pavilion... Assuming that Ye Xuici is still dead Under the control of Shadow Pavilion.”
"More specifically, I don't know much, but he only used part of my power, so I agreed. As you all have guessed, the only one who can dig out secrets in objects is the Evil Envoy of Thieves. Such a spell It was very difficult to execute and the conditions were very harsh, but in the end we did it... although Ye Xuici also learned about it."
"It doesn't matter." Han Chang said, "Since it is a fact, then knowing it means knowing it. No matter how you quibble or whitewash it, it will not change."
How on earth could he be so open-minded? Even Jiao Mo couldn't figure it out, and she was worried that when she told them, both of them would get emotional. But at the moment, it seems that only Wenying has a bigger reaction, and even Lingyu seems more surprised than Hanshang. But in the final analysis, she and Xie Zhe probably only looked at the problem from the perspective of being friends.
Xie Zhe asked further: "So, did you really know clearly the conversation at the scene?"
If possible, Jiao Mo wouldn't want to hear that truth.
Almost all the residents along the coast have heard the rumors about Shiranui. Their master was not a native of the area, but chose to live in seclusion in that place. But what people don't know is that he has been eyeing such power from the beginning. The human body is not a very good container. For monsters, their monster power is better compatible with it.
From the moment the two foxes bowed to the door, the trap began to slowly tighten.
Those maintenances and those preferences have become false disguises. They are utilitarian and have a purpose. For Wenjiu, who has never let down his guard against humans, this is undoubtedly a betrayal. This was indeed a long conspiracy, and his judgment was not wrong. However, compared to the hatred that emerged from his master, Wen Jiu might not be able to forgive himself.
He thought he had forgiven everything.
"He doesn't want to pretend anymore," Jiao Mo said. "He pressed your master every word. I couldn't repeat every word calmly. I..."
Han Chang said: "No need to force it, just keep talking normally."
Jiao Mo felt a trace of sadness for his "consideration".
She just sighed heavily, again and again, as if she was releasing all the sorrow in her heart before she could continue her statement. She continued. Han Chang didn't wait for the warm wine on the stone beach that day because his master stopped him. Among the two of them, one is proficient in thunder and the other is proficient in fire. The latter, Han Shang, is the most appropriate choice. Their master just wanted to make Shiranui attach themselves to Han Chang's body, and then try to weaken this power and take it for himself. All he had to do was stop warming the wine, lest the plan go wrong. Unknowingly, Wenjiu was called to the room by his master, but he deduced some clues from some hexagrams and calendar calculations around him. He didn't know why yet, but he only knew that in Master's eyes, today was a rare and important day. .
The hexagrams are not so accurate. Although it is on this day, the strange behavior on the sea surface is ahead of schedule. The changes that are difficult for humans to detect were discovered by Wenjiu, a monster. He wanted to know what was happening at sea, not to mention that Han Shang was still there, but the master showed signs of obstruction. In this way, it was difficult for him not to suspect something. To say that their master could hold his breath for so long, but was too impatient at this moment, is probably the so-called capsize in the gutter. But since he had already shown panic, it was impossible for someone like Wen Jiu not to be alert.
Wenjiu had not always doubted his master, but this trust was like the accumulated stones at the bottom of the pond. Once a corner is turned over, no matter how clear and silent the pool is, it will turn into a pool of mud. He has never been a person with a sharp personality, and is even much gentler than Han Chang. But once doubts arise, he can no longer remain calm. Unfortunately, a close disciple who knew about it arrived and started a fight with Wen Jiu without saying a word. This time their position was exposed.
Between the master's education and the brotherhood of brothers, Wen Jiu decisively chose the latter.
He killed the master without any hesitation, without any hesitation.
Perhaps their master was overconfident and felt that the children he brought up would not be able to really do anything, or perhaps he felt that their moral conduct was far from enough. He had no preparations. The master, who could have been evenly matched by the two brothers' combined efforts, was easily killed by him with one blow. Even his fellow disciples didn't expect this, so they didn't have any precautions. When all this happened, the close disciple had not yet recovered. But in the end he was greedy for life and afraid of death. He only knew that warming wine would kill people, so he rolled out of the house and ran very fast. He shouted while running away, so all the brothers and sisters around him knew. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to take the next step. This was the decision made by Wenjiu. Similarly, he also understands Han Chang very well. Although this is not possible, if Han Chang makes the same move as him, his personality will definitely stay and be explained clearly.
"He always thought that I was too idealistic," Han Chang said sadly, "Especially at that time, maybe I really wanted him to stay, bring all the evidence to the table, and clear the suspicion. But if I am now, I won't blame him His choice. I know very well that truth can only be explained to those who are willing to reason. If they agree on an answer, there will be no chance of being vindicated - and they will not let you have the chance to escape guilt. Master's many years of experience Preaching and receiving karma, there is a steelyard in everyone's heart. No matter how harmonious the relationship between humans and demons is, they will only listen to what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe. At the first moment, they greet each other with smiles, regardless of you and me, they are brothers and sisters, and at the next In a moment, for the sake of the friendship between compatriots and the righteousness of the race, just like Hai Shien, he will raise his butcher knife towards you. All this was confirmed after Wen Jiu left. He was right to escape...if he didn't escape, he would be killed with blood to write these realities.”
Wenying sat there a little vacantly, her eyes dull. She stopped talking.
There was only silence in the room. People's chests feel like there's a stone pressed down on them, and they can't take a breath up or down. It's just stuck here, making it impossible to say a word.
After a long time, Xie Zhe seemed to have calmed down. He asked cautiously:
"Listening to what you said, could it be that...you already knew the truth?"
"If this is the truth, then I only know it." Han Chang replied, "About when Mrs. Jiaomo said she wanted to tell me about it. At that moment, I had an inexplicable feeling that I had been Some of the evasive assumptions may be the facts themselves. Only in this way can everything make sense. Wenjiu never refutes it because it is the fact."
Wenying's voice was trembling.
"So, so, I, who have always believed in his innocence, am the one who has been deceiving myself?"
"No. For a long time, I have been deceiving me and everyone just like you."
As if seeking some warmth in this late autumn night, Wenying reached for Hanshang's hand, and her brother responded. The four hands of the two people held each other tightly, and the strength made both of them feel pain and refused to let go. People who are connected by blood, they only have each other in this world. This kind of connection can't be cut by any sword in the world.
Collaborating with evil angels may be a sign of his identification with humanity. Rather than saying it is such human beings, it is the choices they make - Wenjiu's recognition of the choices. His hatred for humans has become ineradicable, solidified in every part of his limbs. Nothing could melt him anymore. And when he made this choice, he also knew that he would never be able to continue on with Han Shang and Wenying.
"One day we will meet again. Until then, a life-and-death fight is not impossible. We are all ready to fight for our ideas."
Han Chang's tone was still so calm, as if he had been tempered by despair a hundred or a thousand times.
