"Do you think so, too?" , Mo flicked his sleeves, glanced at the people around him, and asked calmly.

Everyone should not, they all 'laughed' and did not speak. Yakumo Purple on the side sighed lightly and shook his head. In fact, when she heard the word 'dependent', she already understood what it was.

It was an annual sacrifice in which the people offered sacrifices to the rulers of the region in exchange for long-term protection.

Accept the rule, cater to the rules, and offer sacrifices, just so that you and others can survive in this hellish world......

No matter how unreasonable the 'rules' are, no matter how ridiculous the 'order', as long as you can escape the hellish nightmare for a short time, you can be satisfied......

That's why they face life with a smile, selflessly dedicated, and smiling at others, just because that is their 'ruler', the only requirement of those who give them shelter.

Because of the demands of the 'rulers', they are able to 'laugh' and send others, neighbors, friends, and even loved ones into the mouth of the 'monsters', and praise and cheer for their praise......

It's just that they have no other choice but to do so......

At this time, the 'priests' who had noticed the commotion here turned around and wanted to come forward to stop it. However, before they could get closer, Mo flicked the sleeves of their coats, and everyone froze in place as if they had been immobilized, unable to move at all.

"Mo ......", seeing this, Yakumo Zi moved his lips, and finally turned into a light sigh, shook his head, and returned to silence.

"Mortal, why don't you devote yourself to the bliss of pleasure?" At this time, the huge figure that had been standing quietly in the air finally made a sound for the first time.

Countless faces gathered together, countless dancing figures fused into one, turning into a huge, laughing figure, looking down, looking at the small figure below, and asked serenely and smilingly

"How difficult the world is, how bitter the underworld is, in this case, why not laugh, why not be happy, why not be with me, be at ease, great detachment!"

Mo shook his head, took a step, and stepped on the void as if he had stepped on an invisible step, step by step, until he stood in mid-air, staring directly at it.

"You say, in that way, you have to get rid of the sea of earthly suffering, and you will have great happiness and great freedom?" Mo pointed to the new 'smiley faces' on the other party's body.

"That smiling face, that kind of joy, in my opinion, is more painful than the deepest weeping and sorrow, the most tragic wail. It's a real, heartfelt, soul-deep howl. ”

"Only when the spirit and will are completely distorted and torn apart can such a 'sorrow' be issued."

Under one finger, the smiling faces seemed to have changed in a trance. The faces that seemed to be at ease and detached became the ukiyo-e of hell at this moment. What is presented is something that cannot be described in words, words, words, distorted, mourned, mourned......

Then in an instant, it was like a phantom, and when it looked at it again, it reverted to a 'smiling face', quiet and peaceful, which made people look peaceful......

Serenity and fear, joy and sorrow, weirdness and sacredness, what distortions, contradictions, ......

Helpless......

The huge smiling face facing Mo shook his head and sighed lightly, "That's just your prejudice, your obsession, and your vanity, so you can hope that everything is hell." My joy, my rule, my kingdom of heaven are real! ”

"As long as you put aside your prejudices and take out your obsessions, you can see the true freedom and happiness, and only then can you go to the Kingdom of Bliss!"

"Oh, what's the proof?"

"All the people are witnesses!"

"I see." , Mo nodded, "Then ......"

"Let me ask you again, are you really 'happy'?" , Mo glanced at the people below again, and asked softly.

"Such a kingdom of heaven, such bliss, such order, such protection, do you really feel 'joy'?"

Everyone was silent, and after a moment of silence, they all smiled and cheered, "Of course! ”

"It is naturally a great happiness for us to be protected and ruled by the joy of heaven, to be able to help each other, to be selfless and selfless! Feel free! ”

"Exactly, exactly, we are in heaven now, how can we not be happy?"

"That's right, that's right!"

"We are so happy, we are very comfortable!"

"Joy! Joyous! Joyous! ”

A thousand words, all of which were turned into the word 'joy'. All the people should respond, all the people congratulate, all the words are happy, all the laughter is really a good look of heaven!

"Look, that's proof!" , the huge smiling face, so said.

Mo ignored it, still calmly staring at the people below, and said softly: "Even if you send others into the mouth of the 'tiger'? ”

Obviously, it was just a very calm volume, but it could still overpower the chorus of thousands of people, and it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Even if it's to offer the neighbors to the altar?"

"Even if it's an offering to a loved one?"

"Even if you don't know if it's going to be your turn next time?"

"Even so, you can laugh and sing, and dance just to be able to live a little longer?"

The laughter slowly stilled, the joy faded away, and in that calm inquiry, everything slowly turned silent. In the end, a couple with a child in their arms grew up, smiling unconvinced, and shouted angrily at the tall figure: "What do outsiders like you know about us!" ”

"We just want to live, what's wrong with that!"

"Without the protection of Lord Tianle Jianzun, we can live a few moments in the hellish world outside!"

"That kind of hell, that kind of world, it's not something that we powerless mortals can survive in!"

"Rather than being killed, devoured, or even immortalized by those inexplicable things! That's not as good as that! It's better to ......."

Mo looked at the couple, the child in his arms, who was one of the chosen 'dependents'.

He glanced at them, then glanced around the crowd below, and sighed softly, "I see, I see......"
