Chapter 35: The Siren
The brilliance of the setting sun disappeared into the darkness at the moment when the siren sounded, taking advantage of this opportunity, He Qi pulled the stunned Zhu Jiujiu, through all kinds of stunned white clothes, and drilled into a stone mountain near the gate of Jiucang Temple, before Zhu Jiujiu could react, the two had already crossed a narrow path and came to a high place.
"Many years ago, there were some river and foreign thieves living in Jiucang Temple, and there were a lot of such secret ways. β
This explanation did not make Zhu Jiujiu's face look good, she wrinkled her brows, sneered a few times, and said, "It turns out that this is you." β
"There's nothing wrong with being a merciless person, or being indifferent. He Qi smiled quietly and said slowly: "So, there are only a few people I care about." β
"So, you have given up on guarding this world, letting all this happen in front of you, and being indifferent, is that so?" Zhu Jiujiu shook his head miserably and said: " Do you know that Mr. has told your story countless times, the person I saw, although standing in the dark, but is taller than anyone in this world, when you chose to protect the weak in this world, and then never regretted it, I once wanted to become a person like you, the funny thing is that I have such a dream, and I still refuse to wake up today. β
"This world is not worth guarding me, look at these people in front of you, and you will understand that the so-called guardianship is just a self-deception. He Qi smiled, pointed to the panicked white clothes and said: " Although it is just some failed experiments, but before that, we, the people in the Jiucang Temple, are indeed seriously guarding them, but unfortunately, they don't understand that giving the guardian to the jackal, tiger and leopard is not in exchange for the pity and kindness of the jackal, tiger and leopard, in those stories you hear, there are always heroes and the weak in the suffering, the hero defeated the bully, and then everyone lived a happy life from then on, this happy ending, is just, the story, from then on those blood and tears, the old man who loves face, where will it be toldγ β
He Qi's smile turned mocking, he raised his head, looked at the vast mountain that was gradually swallowed by darkness, and said calmly: " Jiucang Mountain is such a story, we have guarded these white clothes who follow us countless times, giving them the power to rely on trust, get rid of those who trample them under their feet, and then, when the heroes stand together, those white clothes feel fear, no torture, no coercion and temptation, those weak people we have guarded just instinctively chose to betray, that day Jiucang Temple went to the empty building overnight, how could it not be because of our kind of people who can only be invincible in the dark, in just a few days by those weak people from behind to the foreground, when the net opened, the only thing we can do is to leave, But even so, there are only a few companions who escaped from Jiucang Mountain, so I say to you, those who stand up can no longer stand up, today, is just a repetition of that day, I think, the taste of despair, it's time for these weak people to taste it. β
"This, is this a revenge?" Zhu Jiujiu was taken aback, turned his head and looked at the crowd in the distance, only to see that in the midst of speaking, the panicked white-clothed people had been controlled by the armed police under the guns in a pile of dozens of people, and those who were a little panicked and wanted to resist had already been smashed to the ground and looked unconscious, only the old monk on the five-story lotus platform was still smiling and facing the crowd.
"It's just a competition. He Qi took a deep look at the old monk on the lotus platform and said slowly: " He wants to protect the world, but naively thinks that he can rely on these weak people, although he walks in the dark, but he has a bright heart, he used all the despicable means to support the tiger and wolf Haoqiang, trampling the weak under his feet and then stepping deeply, but I have never seen anyone who loves these weak people more than him, even if he is betrayed by them, he loves them deeply, forgives them again and again, saying that this can get their hearts, so that the failed test subjects can become real believers, become those who have been betrayed by them, like partners, but now, what is itοΌβ
He Qi laughed coldly, facing the direction of the old monk, pointing to the white clothes who knelt down in front of the armed police and said: "Look, look at these so-called returnees, they have betrayed without hesitation, their fingers are pointing high at you, all of them are repeating the same words, your past, your darkness, all your actions, those you have done, those you have not done, they, your so-called believers, have betrayed you again, they are simply people who can't stand up." β
"I haven't lost yet. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, He Qi frowned, turned around, and saw Bai Mu in a black monk's robe, between his eyes, something called madness suddenly sprouted in the air, he looked at He Qi quietly, and then showed a bright smile.
He often said that we are almost the same people, but how can I be about the same person as you, I am obviously a weak person, and you, always smiling, never afraid of anything, let alone like me often wake up in your sleep, crying secretly for those who used to be despicable and unscrupulous, the distance between us, is like day and night, I like the sun, I like the light, I want to be a good person, but in the end, I have to curl up in the mud and keep struggling, you always stand in the dark, like a shadow, do things, and don't care if it's right or not, just do what you want, is a spring breeze like a chic and warm person, I used to think that my husband is old and says something inexplicable. Bai Mu said quietly: "However, today, I suddenly understood that Mr. is a person who sees far away, and we, indeed similar people, will do whatever it takes, and will, for the sake of what I think is right, to do something that is extremely wrong, so I haven't lost yet, I still have a card." β
"It's those kids!" Zhu Jiujiu exclaimed violently, at the moment when Bai Mu's voice fell, the exclamation from the five-story lotus platform made Bai Mu's words very clear, on the lotus platform built by the pagoda, there were suddenly many more panicked children, some of them stood on the lotus platform, holding the guardrail tightly, and some were crying through the window on the lotus platform, and the person standing on the lotus platform at this moment was so shocked that Zhu Jiujiu could barely stand up, under the white monk's robe, the old monk had disappeared, and it was the chic Zhang Tianzheng who smiled silentlyγ
"This is a place called the Temple of Light. He Qi shook his head, his smile seemed a little bitter, and he sighed: "The guy who sent it to the door, where can it be so simple." β
"Not everything is in your hands. Bai Mu sneered and said slowly: "I remember you once told me that in this world, there is no such thing as coincidence, the so-called coincidences are just the result of careful design and ingenious layout, you always feel that you are the dealer of this game, and you always think that you can control everything, even if it is an incorrigible situation, you can turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, but what about today, when Zhang Tianzheng found you, this game has already begun!" Bai Mu smiled coldly: " Maybe you never knew that Zhang Tianzheng's younger brother was the hunchback in Jiucang Temple back then!"
"That person..."He Qi's face finally changed, maybe it was the wind, and his body actually trembled slightly, this change made Zhu Jiujiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, in the impression that this man who was always smiling, was indeed like to control everything in silence and silence in his hands, if you use a tongue-twisting phrase, that is, you never know that in fact, he knows you don't know he knows he knows you know.
"When we walked the world, although we did save a lot of people, but the power of offending was enough to squeeze us to pieces, the funny thing is that for your so-called doubts, as well as the betrayal of ideals, Mr. actually gathered everyone together, the original flying eagle wandering all over the world became a sparrow at home, and then, it was the one that caught it all!" Bai Mu looked at He Qi sarcastically, and asked word by word: " That person, the one who walked last, the hunchback who left the opportunity to live for you, you, you have forgotten it a long time ago, right?"
"If you forget, why bother, come here..."He Qi sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he whispered: "That day, I will always remember that those heroes who were deceived and trampled by us finally stood together, Jiucang Temple became the world's largest fraudster den overnight, at that time, we were just some fish and meat waiting to be cooked, like, just like today's Jiucang Mountain." β
"Revenge on those weak people, is that your plan?" Bai Mu sneered coldly: "Just based on those leaflets, do you really think that those people will believe that the people here are all cults that want to be exterminated, don't forget, these thousands of people, in the final analysis, are still gathered by us, He Qi, you, let me down too much!"
"And him. The sun bloomed on He Qi's face at this moment, he squinted his eyes at Zhang Tianzheng standing on the lotus platform, and said slowly: "Those schools in the ravine, those students that Zhang Tianzheng wants to protect, originally, are the hard work of a hunchback, this kind of thing, I have never forgotten." β
