…
"Spare your life?" Zeng Yi looked at the trafficker leader kneeling in front of him with an indifferent expression.
"As a human trafficker, have you ever thought about how many people you have killed? How many families you have broken up? At that time, why didn't you spare them once?"
Wang Erhu trembled on the ground and begged for mercy in fear: "Dear soul master, I really know that I was wrong. I will never engage in this kind of human trafficking business in the future. I will change my mind and be a new person in the future! You Just be noble and spare me a pariah!"
"Lord Soul Master! Spare me once!"
Wang Erhu suddenly raised his head, with a pitiful expression on his ferocious face.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but hesitate.
What should I do? Kill these people?
But Zeng Yi had never killed anyone before, and he couldn't believe the way he killed someone.
However, if you let these people go, they may continue to harm others in the future, wouldn't you be committing a crime?
What am I fighting for?
Save people? kill?
Redemption and killing are two opposite extremes, but they are closely connected.
At this moment, Zeng Yi couldn't help but doubt himself.
Zeng Yi's hesitation was also seen by Wang Erhu. At that moment, his big copper eyes flashed with ferocity, and he quietly touched behind him with one hand.
"Go to hell! You brat!"
When Zeng Yi hesitated, Wang Erhu took out a sharp dagger and stabbed Zeng Yi hard in the chest.
Phew~
Between the lightning and flint, blood splashed in the air.
Warm blood splashed on Zeng Yi's face. He held the Wuhun sword in his right hand and watched as the palm holding the dagger flew away and fell to the ground.
Zeng Yi subconsciously reacted to the sudden attack by summoning his martial spirit and cut off his hand with a knife.
"Ah! My hands!!!"
Wang Erhu looked at his broken wrist in horror and backed away in fear.
His pale face was twisted in pain, and he was shouting crazily.
But as he shouted, he started laughing wildly.
"Hahaha——, you damn brat, just kill me if you want! Even if I die, I will turn into a devil and eat your flesh and blood!"
He had tears, his bloodshot eyeballs looked extremely vicious, his face was distorted, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and he was laughing wildly, like a crazy ghost.
"You hateful nobles are born with everything you want, powerful talents, abundant resources, and you can easily become soul masters! How can you people understand our experience!"
"Being bullied by your nobles and treated as inferiors! Even if you have soul power, you don't have the resources to practice. If you want to become a soul master, you have to be your lackeys! You are aloof and treat us like ants, but no matter how hard we try, , can’t reach that level!”
"Do you think I want to do this despised business? You nobles didn't force me! I need money! I need training resources!"
"You incompetent nobles have done so many dark transactions in private to satisfy your perverted preferences! I am a human trafficker!
However, you nobles are the source of this evil! "
Zeng Yi looked at the angry, crazy, collapsed and twisted human trafficker leader, and after hearing his words, he couldn't help but sympathize with him.
Zeng Yi, who had just walked out of the village, also got to know this strange world again.
Maybe what he said to him was right, but what does this have to do with him.
Because he is not a noble, he is just an ordinary commoner.
"Perhaps those nobles deserve to die, but this is not the reason for you to do evil!" Zeng Yi said indifferently as he looked at Wang Erhu who was mentally broken.
"In this cruel world, the law of the jungle remains constant. Only strong strength can decide everything. Thank you for teaching me this truth."
Zeng Yi looked at the collapsed Wang Erhu and raised the blade in his hand.
"And I'm stronger than you, so I have the power to judge you, right?"
"Also, I'm not a noble! I'm not a soul master either. I'm just an ordinary soul master with no soul ring and tenth level soul power!"
The blade flashing with cold light slashed down.
Phew~
Blood splashed, and the tall body fell to the ground, and its vitality began to disappear.
Zeng Yi opened his eyes wide and looked at the trafficker leader who fell to the ground and lost his life. His heartbeat was beating violently and his chest was rising and falling.
He killed someone!
Zeng Yi looked at his hands, which were stained with red blood, with some fear.
Zeng Yi didn't feel uncomfortable when he killed someone for the first time. The beating heart in his body told him that he was excited.
I feel excited after killing someone. Could it be that my true nature is actually that of a murderer?
Zeng Yi shook his head to wake himself up.
He does not regret killing people, because these people deserve to die! If I don't have this ability, I will fall into their hands, be treated as goods, be sold, and be treated inhumanely.
This is no longer the original world. Only strong strength can protect yourself.
Zeng Yi put away his sword, dealt with the other two traffickers, and then walked towards the girl.
The girl curled up on the side saw Zeng Yi approaching with a sword, and her empty eyes were a little frightened. The other person was just a child about her own age, but he could kill people without any scruples, which frightened her.
Even if the person who was killed was a villain, the girl felt happy when they died, but this murderous child frightened her even more.
Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, looking at this frightened girl, standing in front of her, squatting down, with a smile as bright as the sun on his face, reaching out and stroking her dirty hair, and said warmly : "It's okay, the bad guys won't hurt you anymore, don't worry!"
The girl was stunned, raised her head, and looked at the boy who smiled at her with empty eyes. She had never felt such warmth!
This person, like the sun, dispelled the darkness that enveloped him and pulled himself out of the endless abyss.
"So...warm..."
Looking at Zeng Yi's smile, tears silently fell from the girl's eyes, and some color returned to her empty eyes.
...
At night, under the bright moonlight, two figures were surrounded by a fire.
Beside the silent campfire, the crackling sound of charcoal fire could be heard from time to time. Zeng Yi sat on the stone aside and looked at the girl opposite.
Zeng Yi took the dirty girl to a nearby river to take a bath and dressed her in his own clothes, although they were a bit loose for the skinny girl.
The girl was sitting by the campfire, holding a steamed bun in both hands. Her eating posture was very exaggerated, like a person who had been hungry for several days.
"Cough cough cough."
Because she ate too quickly, the girl choked and coughed rapidly. Zeng Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he took out a water bottle and drank it.
The girl didn't thank him either. She took the kettle and frantically poured the water into her mouth.
"Sorry, the only food I brought was steamed buns."
The girl put down the kettle, looked at the buns in her hand, and shook her head.
"Thank you...thank you."
"By the way, what's your name?" Zeng Yi asked.
The girl took a bite of the steamed bun and replied, "Xiaoyu, my name is Luo Xiaoyu."
"Luo Xiaoyu? What a cute name, haha."
Zeng Yi smiled, looked at her, and asked: "By the way, where is your home? I'll take you back. You were caught by a trafficker. Your family should be very worried."
Zeng Yi thought about it, and since he had saved others, he would do his best and send her home. It just delayed his own time, so it was nothing.
It's not in a hurry anyway, after all, I'm lost now.
However, when the girl heard Zeng Yi's words, her eyes couldn't help but shrink and she fell silent.
Zeng Yi also noticed that something seemed wrong with the girl's condition, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The girl held the bun in her hand tightly, pursed her dry lips, and said in a trembling voice.
"I...have no home."
Zeng Yi was stunned.
"What's going on?" Zeng Yi asked eagerly, and he couldn't help but have speculation in his heart.
Could it be that her family was destroyed by those traffickers?
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi felt extremely angry in his heart.
Tears slipped silently from the girl's cheeks and fell on the dry buns. The girl's voice trembled as she said: "My home is in a very remote village, and there is a drought there.
Due to the drought, the crops in the village have withered and there is no harvest. It is difficult for the family to survive this season.
I have two younger brothers at home. In order to make a living, they sold me to human traffickers.
So, I have no home..."
The girl's words were like thunder, hitting Zeng Yi's heart and making him freeze in place.
Zeng Yi's wide-open eyes were simply unbelievable. He thought his guess was cruel enough, but he didn't expect that the reality was even crueler than this!
He was sold by his biological parents like goods!
hateful!
Zeng Yi suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched his hands into fists, and his body was trembling slightly.
Luo Xiaoyu squatted on the ground, burying her cheeks in her knees, her body heaving and sobbing silently.
