At this time, Zhao Baian was completely sure that his speculation was not wrong.

After all this was more certain, Zhao Bai'an's gaze at the monk became even more fierce.

At this time, the monk's eyes suddenly opened, he had very soft eyes, but when he saw Zhao Bai'an, the monk's eyes suddenly shrank, and then, from the gentleness just now to a very sharp gaze, that kind of eyes were serious and terrifying, as if they could kill.

Zhao Bai'an was shocked, but before she could say anything, the monk looked away again, looked at the clerk standing next to him with soft eyes, and said, "You go out first." ”

The clerk gently agreed, "Okay." Then he turned and walked away.

There was silence in the room, and now only the monk and Zhao Bai'an were left, and the two finally began to look at each other officially.

"You're not her." The monk opened his mouth to utter four hoarse words, and his eyes became piercing again, even more terrifying than before.

Zhao Bai'an couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, she didn't care to complain about why this person's eyes could change so quickly, because the monk's eyes made her suddenly think of the day when the clown killed the man, and looked back at her through the crack in the window. She lost her composure, and her heart beat wildly.

"You... Hello, I ......" Zhao Bai'an's opening remarks were a little stammering, but she didn't want to behave so badly in front of the clown, so she immediately paused, and then adjusted her breathing to calm her heart.

Then she spoke again slowly and calmly, and remade the opening remarks: "Hello, my surname is Zhao, that's right, I am not a female student back then, I just want to meet you through her name." ”

Zhao Baian actually knew that as soon as she entered the room, her lies would be revealed. After all, the clown has now become an old monk, and the schoolgirl is at least middle-aged.

However, she didn't expect the boss to have such fierce eyes when she saw him, and she could be said to be caught off guard.

Zhao Bai'an and the monk looked at each other and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to trouble you. ”

The monk's fierce eyes changed slightly, and then it was finally his turn to break the stagnant air: "What is your relationship with that female student?" Is she your mother? ”

In fact, lying is an excellent choice at this time, but Zhao Bai'an does not have the slightest such thought, at this moment she just wants to tell the truth to the monk: "I have nothing to do with that female student. ”

When the monk heard what Zhao Bai'an said, he felt very strange in his heart, he didn't understand, since the person in front of him had nothing to do with the female student back then, why did he know that he was the clown back then?

Although he didn't do it seamlessly, no one has discovered it until today, and it has always been an unsolved case. And the only thing he didn't kill the other party was the incident of the schoolgirl, which was also the last one.

The monk asked again curiously, "How do you know about me?" ”

Zhao Bai'an didn't have much to hide in the face of the monk's inquiry, after all, this was the person concerned, and she came here to read his past.

"I saw you in a dream, and then, I saw the birthmark in your hand, and I re-experienced the things of the year with you in my dreams, first killing a man, then killing a woman, and then letting go of a schoolgirl."

Zhao Bai'an summed up her dreams and told them all, and she felt extremely relaxed.

A hint of surprise flashed in the monk's eyes, Zhao Bai'an laughed at himself in his heart, and explained: "I know, what I say is not believed by ordinary people, in fact, I don't expect you to believe it, I just want to tell you that I didn't lie to you." ”

The monk's eyes softened, and then Zhao Bai'an's words continued, "I believe what you say. ”

This time it was Zhao Bai'an's turn to feel strange, and she asked again: "Do you really believe it?" ”

The monk replied in a calm tone: "I really believe that the world is big, the Buddha has clouds, the cycle of rebirth, all have their fixed number, and there are arrangements for the origin and extinction of the cause." ”

When Zhao Bai'an heard such an explanation, his heart suddenly brightened, but this seemed to be expected. She knew what she was doing was dangerous before she came, but she thought it seemed feasible, so she did it.

She looked at the monk in front of her, and then thought back to the scene in her dream, if it weren't for the same birthmark, no one would connect the two, they were too far apart.

"Why do you want to become a monk?" Before Zhao Bai'an came, she didn't think about what to ask, she just wanted to take a look at the murderer back then, the current innkeeper, to see his psychological state, and listen to his thoughts.

The monk sighed in the face of Zhao Bai'an's inquiry, and he did not directly answer Zhao Bai'an's words, but asked Zhao Bai'an: "Why are you pretending to be that girl?" ”

Zhao Baian replied honestly: "I only said that I was a female student back then, and I wanted to meet you, you would only meet you, wouldn't you?" ”

The monk continued to ask Zhao Bai'an: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Bai'an didn't have the fear she had just now at all, and she sat cross-legged in front of the monk. The antique room was full of Zen, and Zhao Bai'an became very calm in his heart in such an environment.

The room fell silent, the two stopped talking, and the monk saw that Zhao Bai'an didn't seem to intend to speak, so he didn't ask more, but closed his eyes quietly again and meditated silently.

And Zhao Bai'an sat quietly on the side and sighed, the arrogant and laughing clown back then, and now this old man meditating silently, this is the charm of time, and it is also the magic of human beings.

For some reason, the two of them sat so close to each other, and it felt a bit like facing their old friends. She had entered his body and felt his emotions. And he, since she explained, has not shown any repulsion.

Zhao Bai'an suddenly thought that the clown hadn't answered the question she had just asked, so she asked again: "Joker, why do you want to become a monk?" ”

Faced with Zhao Bai'an's title, the monk was not angry, but accepted it calmly, and he replied: "I have always had a question that I can't understand. ”

Zhao Bai'an asked the monk rhetorically: "What is the problem?" ”

The monk replied, "How should we define good and evil, and how should we completely distinguish between good and evil, between beauty and ugliness?" ”

When Zhao Baian heard such a philosophical question, she didn't know how to respond for a while.

After all, she had no experience, and after thinking about it for a long time, she could only reply in more obscure and ambiguous language: "I think the boundary between good and evil is like black and white, and everything is just the imagination of the human heart." ”

What she said was a little unclear, in fact, even she didn't quite understand what she was talking about, so vague.

But she can't help it, since ancient times, the topic of good and evil has never been one-size-fits-all, and Zhao Baian feels that even the great men of the past may not be able to really explain good and evil clearly.

After she finished speaking, she quietly watched the clown's response, the monk's expression was still relaxed, he didn't have any response, just looked at Zhao Bai'an and smiled gently. His face was not good-looking, thin and shriveled and ravine-ridden, but Zhao Baian felt that at this moment, he was beautiful.

Zhao Bai'an also responded with a faint smile, and then slowly recalled the information Gao Yanran had given him before, and said slowly to the clown: "The female high school student back then is now middle-aged, and she has indeed devoted her life to charity. ”

The monk's expression was very relieved when he heard this, and he took the Buddha beads and casually recited: "Amitabha." ”

Zhao Bai'an then asked the clown, which was probably the last question she wanted to know: "Where are those cut organs?" ”

The monk frowned, a flash of pain in his eyes, and then his brow relaxed, and he replied, "I have buried these beautiful things properly." ”
