Chapter IX Rules
"What the hell are you looking for me? "I sat down again, my back straight, and I had regained my saneness.www.biquge.info
"Oh, I finally got it. I've said so many times that I'm not going to kill you, so you just can't figure it out. "He was careless, but I had to be vigilant. After a failed assassination, I have fully understood the difference in force between me and this monster, and if he says that if he doesn't kill me, it doesn't mean that I don't need to be defended. On the contrary, I became more wary of him.
"You don't have to be so defensive of me, I won't kill you if I say it, and I won't hurt you either. Otherwise, you really think you can live until now. Xiao Zheng put away his cynical expression and sat up straight like me, "Yiqing, I don't kill you, not because I sympathize with you or intend to use you, but because I feel that I don't have the right to decide your life and death, and similarly, I don't think anyone else can." ”
"Of course, I can see that you have a deep prejudice against our demon clan, and I don't ask you to trust me all at once, but you must know that your situation is really dangerous now, and if I don't kill you, it doesn't mean that other demon clans won't kill you."
"So, what the hell do you want? Is it because I can see that I deserve to be decided by you monsters? "I hate those monsters who play with human life lightly, and I hate the savior-like posture of this person in front of me.
None of this was my choice, but I had to carry it all.
"I mean, do you want to do things for me. You know, there are a lot of demon clans who want your life, and to put it bluntly, your three-legged cat kung fu is really not enough. Coincidentally, I'm missing an assistant right now, and if you do things for me, I'll take care of keeping you safe, okay. If you have to say it, you can also use each other, but in fact I can definitely protect you very well, don't you think? ”
Xiao Zheng seems to be serious, but if I ask me to do something for a monster, I can't do it. Who knows what kind of hurtful thing it is, my impression of the monster is already too bad to be worse.
If you want to steal peace, how can you be at ease.
"Don't." I'm very determined.
"You haven't even asked me what I'm going to ask you to do, so you just refuse." Xiao Zheng's expression was a little unsightly, probably because I refused too simply to hurt his face.
"Whatever it is, you're a youkai, and I don't want to do anything for youkai." My position is firm.
"Even if you're asking me to help me get the truth back for the dead man just now?" This time, Xiao Zheng's voice was a little subtle.
"No," wait, "what the hell are you talking about?" "I felt like something was wrong with my hearing.
"I say, help the dead find justice." He repeated, and it turned out that I had indeed heard correctly.
"You can see the monsters, and you can also see the traces left by the monsters, so it means that the truth that these ordinary humans can't pursue, only you can discover, enough to explore, and have the ability to expose. Why, isn't the reason why you are bold enough to speak out today because of your thirst for the truth? "Everything Xiao Zheng said was right to my heart, but he was a monster, why did he do it.
"You're a monster too, why do you want to do such a thing, don't you have to help those of your kind cover it up." My tone was sarcastic, I really hated youkai.
"Just like people need to follow certain rules, so do youkai. Whoever breaks the rules will pay the price. Xiao Zheng's expression was very serious, but his eyes drifted far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What are the rules of the demon clan?" I asked a question I've always wanted to ask.
"It is forbidden to use the methods of the demon clan to kill humans."
This is something I didn't expect.,I'm not allowed to use the power of youkai.,Is it okay to do it in a human way.。
"What does that mean?"
"Whether it's a youkai or a human, you have to pay for your actions. Our demon clan pays attention to revenge, so if there is really hatred, we will do whatever it takes to take revenge. But again, killing is killing, and killing comes at a price. Using human means to kill, it proves that this monster is ready to pay the price, and through evidence and all means, humans will eventually get the truth, and such a monster will be punished by the law in the end, and what they do will be borne by themselves. Even if you escape, it only means that the evidence is insufficient, but it has nothing to do with the identity and ability of the youkai itself. ”
And the youkai who used the demon clan ability to kill people proves that he has no intention of taking on everything at all, because he knows that with human ability, it is impossible to investigate the true cause of the dead. It's a loophole that they're trying to exploit. However, everything has a price, and since they are not ready to pay the price, someone has to help them prepare. And I am currently in charge of this work. "Xiao Zheng explained to me the rules of the demon clan, and I have to say that although I hate monsters, in all fairness, such rules do limit the abilities of monsters to some extent. If what Xiao Zheng said is true, does it prove that maybe there are really youkai who are looking for a relatively fair path where humans and youkai can coexist peacefully?
"Hmph, youkai are so selfish and cunning, even if there are such rules, how many of them will be willing to be bound by human laws." I admit their rules, but I don't believe in their temperament. In my own experience, I can't trust youkai in any way.
"You're right, otherwise I wouldn't be working so much right now." Xiao Zheng didn't refute my words, obviously he also knew the inferior roots of the demon clan.
"If you want to say that in the past, our coexistence with humans is quite harmonious, except for the big monsters that live for a long time, there is no difference in the lifespan and ability of ordinary small demons and humans, and it is relatively easy to manage. But recently, for some reason, the control of yokai has become more and more difficult. So, would you like to help me? This should also be considered the fulfillment of your own wish, with these eyes, to reveal all the truth. What humans can't accept, what humans can't believe, I can help you do it. He looked at me and seriously invited. It was the first time that my eyes were recognized, and there was no need to hide it, no need to explain it. At that moment, I almost burst into tears.
"You still say you can't read minds, otherwise how would you know my dreams." I had to change the subject.
"I've said it a long time ago, everything about you is in these eyes. I can see it. He looked me in the eye and looked very gentle.
