Cats are not born to hunt mice.
He didn’t remember where he got this knowledge, but Zhou Yu clearly remembered that he had read the so-called “Cat and Mouse in the Same Cage Experiment”. If cats and mice are kept in the same cage since childhood and raised artificially, the two natural enemies will get along well with each other, and even let the mice ride on the cats to play.
From this point of view, the vast majority of so-called "natural enemies" are not actually born enemies, but are learned from the environment. When one party understands the value of the prey, the other will understand the threat of the hunter. There's nothing magical about it, it's just a simple survival response based on the food chain.
Therefore, unreasonable hatred, hatred, and murderous desire directed at a specific object can be regarded as a veritable "natural enemy." There is no need for any conflict of interest or necessity of survival. As long as you witness the other party's existence, you will feel so dirty that you cannot tolerate it.
——This was the thought that boiled from his fingertips to his mind when he stared at the sky.
No experience could compare with it. Whether it was the green sword held by Hongye or the Sanglian hiding underground, they were all different from the feelings Motian gave him. In addition to the hatred that trembles at the fingertips, there is also the unspeakable fear hidden deep in the heart.
Yes, if I have to pursue it, it should be the feeling of "being a prey".
Rabbits can also chase eagles, and antelopes can also fight lions, but the hunting relationship between the two will not be reversed.
"Motian, what are you doing here?"
Almost as soon as he understood this relationship, the coldness and pain disappeared from his body. He held the handle of the knife and asked the other party in an unfamiliar tone.
The owner of the skull ring grinned.
"Ah... Didn't I find someone in need of help when I was passing by? It's rare for me to be so kind, but the little girl didn't even say a word of thanks?"
"You are the one who made that crow come to me."
"How could I have such ability? This is a little gift from my poor former master to you, little girl. Did he never mention it to you? You have also heard advice such as asking you to open more windows, right? ?”
Motian answered in a smooth tone. In response, Zhou Yu tilted his head coldly.
"Then, was it also the dead man's arrangement to let the crow fly in after Hong Ye left?"
The skull ring chuckled silently along with its owner. What is hidden under the mockery is malice that is dirtier than mud and water.
"... Well," Mootian said slowly, "the previous owner did not consider the timing of the gift. I think it is better to avoid the princess with this gift."
"You are really scared to death of Hongye. Are you worried that she will turn you into a stone? Although it is also an ugly statue, it is a little prettier than the fat body you have now."
"Oh, you are such a bad-tempered little girl. With your attitude towards your savior, it seems that you don't want to know the origin of that piece of paper."
"Do you think I don't know your purpose?"
Zhou Yu laughed softly. It was not his consciousness, but his body laughing on its own.
"Isn't that flute hinting at Sang Lian to me? What do you want to say? Someone in his place also knew your name before. You must have sent someone to explore there a long time ago."
"I don't deny this."
Motian patted his bloated belly and continued to say in that disgusting tone: "But little girl, in this regard, you and I are on the same side. Not all the things written in your diary are about killing him. Something like that?"
Zhou Yu looked at him noncommittally.
"Hehe, you have even forgotten who the person you want to kill is really pitiful. If you don't believe it, you might as well go to him personally to confirm and ask yourself if you have looked for him before."
"Even if there is, it doesn't mean anything." Zhou Yu said coldly, "What about you? What are you planning to do by killing Sang Lian?"
"I am here to share the princess' worries. Little girl, do you know what that starving ghost is doing now? The princess has been patrolling here for ten years, but he forced her to run away. Don't you want to know the reason?"
Ferris suddenly burst into nervous laughter.
"He is eating the entire city. At this stage, he is still eating in the form of energy. When the preparation is complete, he will eat it in the physical form, right? That great sage is doing such dirty things now. Ahahahahahahaha..."
He seemed to have heard a big joke and almost rolled on the ground with laughter. The harsh sound like an owl's cry made Zhou Yu frown.
"It's boring as hell. This city can't be swallowed up."
I don’t know how he arrived at the judgment, but it came out naturally from his mouth. That's right, even if the real world dies, this place will last forever.
"Don't be so confident. Even if you are the ancestor, it is inevitable that you will end. The teacher of the Great Sage was also the one who stole the sky fire. He must be very experienced in this regard."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"That is to say, why don't we join forces this time."
The smile on Motian's face became even more distorted.
"Little girl, what do you think? As for me, although I am not interested in the life and death of the people in the city, after all, it is the place where the previous owner lived for so many years, so I am somewhat nostalgic. I can't bear to destroy it like this! It's so majestic. It’s really heartbreaking to see the city collapse in an ant nest!”
Zhou Yu didn't believe a word of his words. Seeing the other party's confident expression, he just sneered slightly.
"How dare you say that? Do you think you have a way to deal with people who Hong Ye can't deal with? If a lackey like you could deal with Sang Lian, I'd probably have done it myself, right?"
"Oh, I'm not good at dealing with this kind of great saint. The princess must be the same, right? But, isn't there a little girl like you now?"
The eyes of the skull ring shimmered with blood-red light as if in an illusion.
"Should the princess give you 'Revenge'?" Motian said with a smile, "That weapon is the nemesis of the Great Sage. Little girl, if you think about it, killing that underground earthworm is easy."
"You're talking about the 'Second King's Sword', right?"
"Oh, the princess didn't tell you its real name." Motian laughed again.
"The Second King's Sword... Hahahahahaha, such a subtle statement makes no sense at all, it is simply nonsense. That is a first-rate demonic ghost sword. It was called 'Vengeance' from the time it was created. How about it? Very suitable for you, little girl, right?”
"I'm not interested, neither in you nor in the sword."
"I don't want the pretty girl to be annoying either. If the previous master was willing to lend me the sword, he wouldn't come humbly to ask for your help, little girl."
"Really? So what are you going to do if I refuse?"
Zhou Yu grasped the handle of the knife tightly. He didn't think that the other party was really asking for him, otherwise there would be no need to bring two more people.
However, Ferris just yawned lazily.
"Don't be so tense. I'm just making a suggestion. I'm not forcing you to do anything, little girl, right? But sincerely speaking, killing that earthworm is good for both of us. It would be better for you to think more about it."
As he spoke, he retreated towards the exit. The other two followed him step by step.
"Go and ask him yourself. Ask the great sage why he left his flute in this hole."
Before leaving, Motian still announced with a smile. The third skull ring he wore on his middle finger had a more sinister and sneaky light in its eye hole than the other four. Until the three of them left the warehouse, those two sinister red eyes still remained in Zhou Yu's mind.
After confirming that he was the only one left in the entire space, Zhou Yu slowly let go of the knife and sat down on the rain-filled ground. He wanted to walk over and check the hole to see if there were any human traces where the nails had fallen off, but his feet were too painful to move. He took the screen of his mobile phone to take a picture and found that the lower part of his knee was completely swollen.
Let’s go back and talk about it first.
After making this decision, he closed his eyes unconsciously and fell asleep completely.
