Chapter 397: The Gambler (43)
"You lie, you lie......" A terrible scream came from the other side of the river, and I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a female ghost. Behind her, two rows of ghosts stood silently behind her, both with their heads bowed and their faces rotten. I recognized a few of them, and Chen Jin was among them, as well as Chen Jin's two sons.
As soon as Wu Yi saw these scenes, he was so frightened that he moved back again and again, and he frequently shouted in his mouth: "You are ...... Get rid of these ghosts...... Kill them, I don't want to die...... I don't want to die...... Don't find me......" He kept muttering to himself, panicked, incoherent.
Suddenly, Wu Yi grabbed Bai Xuanzhi's feet next to him, kowtowed desperately, and kept pleading: "Please, don't let them harm me, I know it's wrong, can't I be wrong?" Look at me, now it's all down to this point, aren't you still satisfied?" These words seemed to be said to Bai Xuanzhi, but they were actually said to those ghosts outside. Unexpectedly, Wu Yi's words aroused a deeper resentment from the leading female ghost.
"Wu Yi, you still don't repent at this moment, I won't kill you today, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart. Don't meddle in your affairs, if you help this kind of person, heaven and earth will not tolerate it. The female ghost suddenly turned to the three of us and warned us viciously.
Bai Xuanzhi, who had been silent, looked at Wu Yi at his feet, and said in a loud voice: "That's right, I promised you just now, but I asked you to tell the truth, did you do it? You are just full of lies, in order to escape the crime, you put all the sins on others, did I say it wrong? Actually, the real murderer of Liu Hong is you, right? Am I wrong, Liu Hong?" Bai Xuanzhi raised his head and looked at the group of ghosts, and one of them even locked his eyes on Liu Hong's face.
Liu Hong's face was shocked, and then nodded slightly, "That's right, it was this beast who killed me, he is not a human, I hate it......" Liu Hong's resentful voice seemed to penetrate our eardrums and drill directly into our brains. Immediately afterwards, the ghosts behind also complained, and then echoed: "I hate it...... I hate it......" I don't know if the hatred of these ghosts is Liu Hong, who is aggrieved, or Wu Yi, who is lying on the ground and crying bitterly.
"You guys, remove the jade from his body, and then hurry out of here, as far as you can. Liu Hong's eyes suddenly reddened and gave us a command, and her tone was unquestionable. The two of them and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. Wu Yi is very hateful, even heinous, but Liu Hong asked us to remove the life talisman on his body, what is the difference between this and us killing him with our own hands? Bad people are bound to be punished, but it is not the turn of a few mortals to decide his life and death. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and who is right and who is wrong, it will always see clearly. Moreover, there are human rules in the world, and the punishment of those who do wrong things can only be judged by the law.
"We can't help you with this favor, Liu Hong, why don't you let go of the grudge in your heart and let Wu Yi accept the ruling of the law, after all, you no longer belong to the world, so why should you be obsessed? Even if you are captured by demons and sent to the underworld, do you think that you will be safe and sound after killing so many people? Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you should save yourself, let Wu Yi go, and let him accept the punishment of the law. In this way, why not have the best of both worlds? You can get the snow for your grievances, and Wu Yi deserves it, and he can only spend the rest of his life in prison, and life is better than death. Bai Xuanzhi persuaded in a good voice, in fact, I agreed with what he said.
"What do you know? I won't kill him, I can't swallow this resentment. Even if I were to go to hell and suffer punishment, I would slaughter this beast-faced thing. Liu Hong roared at us, her ghostly howl almost bursting our eardrums. I touched my ears, and it seemed like I had some kind of auditory hallucination.
"If you continue to be so obsessed, then we can't help you much. However, I can't watch you kill him in front of me. Although he is a heinous man, he is also a human life after all. Neither you nor I have the right to decide whether he lives or dies, only Heaven can. Bai Xuanzhi said reluctantly, as if he wanted to persuade Liu Hong to let go of the deep hatred in his heart.
However, Liu Hong just resolutely disagreed, she had made up her mind, she had to take Wu Yi's life, and even if the Jade Emperor came, she couldn't shake her determination. Thinking of this, a faint sorrow suddenly floated in my heart. We are nothing more than outsiders in this matter. Speaking of which, it is impossible to say who is right or not in this matter. Perhaps, both of them are at fault. One is wrong in lawlessness, and the other is wrong in careless human life.
"Liu Hong, I beg you to let me go, I promise you to accept the punishment of the law, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet, please let me go......" Wu Yi said while kowtowing his head heavily, breaking his scalp, he didn't know the pain. Perhaps in the face of fear and pain, fear will always prevail.
"Hmph, do you think I'll agree? I begged you the same at the time, but did you do it? Do you think I'm going to let you go?" Liu Hong let out a chill to the bone, and approached Wu Yi, she didn't take a step closer, I felt more and more cold on my body, and I even felt that my heart was frozen and couldn't beat.
I swallowed my saliva and pulled off the corner of Bai Xuanzhi's clothes, he looked at me, I leaned close to him and whispered, "Think of a way!" He looked at me helplessly, saying that there was nothing he could do, this is the grievance between the two of them, there is always a result, the problem is that Liu Hong now she has to ask Wu Yi to pay for her life, killing people to pay off debts and money, it is also completely unreasonable, in terms of reason, we are just outsiders' positions.
"Liu Hong, you killed Wu Yi now just to dissipate your grievances for a while, keep his life, let him live reluctantly, maybe it will be even more torture for him. "I thought of such a trick and blurted it out, and I didn't know if I could fool Liu Hong. I fixed my eyes, Liu Hong suddenly stopped, she turned to me, I was stared at by her heart, panicked, swallowed saliva unconsciously. Bai Xuanzhi used his body to block in front of me, and looked directly at Liu Hong, "Liu Hong, what do you want to do?" Don't push people too much, you can't be fooled around here." If you continue to be so evil, I will immediately transfer to the Yin soldiers to arrest you and go to the Netherworld. You can take a step closer and try it, and see if I can do what I say?" Bai Xuanzhi's tone was a little stunned, his eyes narrowed, and his clear eyes gradually condensed with anger. There was an eerie chill emanating from his body.
