Chapter 44: The Philosophy of Shanes

"Who are you?" Faryl asked.

"Nice question."

Shanes tilted his head slightly, curled the corners of his mouth, and pointed his self-righteous face at Farrow.

Because this is in the mental space, there are no scars or handprints on his face.

"I'm just a passer-by I don't know, and I saved two lost souls."

"You're sick, the hairs on your head are scorched!"

"Huh? Oh......" Shanes hurriedly reached out to extinguish the fire overhead.

"No wonder I smell a burnt smell, it turned out to be the top of my head ......"

But this did not affect his demeanor in the slightest, and the King of Hunters, with a wolf's tail grass in his mouth and his hand on his waist, where hung a light crossbow, swaggered to Farol's side, and smiled at her.

"Hey, beautiful lady, is this family of three here chasing you?"

"So what?" Farol frowned.

"Mind if I kill them for you?"

"Elimination? It's up to you? The female thief chuckled, "If you think you can do it with this little crossbow, please." ”

"Thanks, then please hold your chin, beautiful young lady. Because then, it's time to witness the miracle. ”

He stretched out his hand, but instead of picking up the crossbow, he raised it flat forward, as if holding something. The other hand was also raised, making a gesture of pulling the bowstring.

"Don't you use a crossbow, or is this just pretending?"

"The crossbow is just a decoration, miss. The King of Hunters never needed a bow and arrows, I am the bow and my mind is the arrow. ”

Shanes chewed hard, then spit out the wolf's tail grass and tilted his head slightly, as if to aim.

And then

"Whoa—"

The moment he let go, Farol really heard the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the wind, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't quite right, it seemed to be this guy's own voice......

She was about to laugh at each other, but the nine-year-old Faryl, her mother, and her father in front of her suddenly stumbled backwards as if they had been hit by several arrows, and fell to the ground with their backs despite their struggles, as if they were really fixed on the ground by arrows......

Blood bloomed on them, blood smeared and flowed freely, and soon a pool of foul-smelling blood quickly accumulated on the ground, and it was not long before the three of them were completely silent.

At the same time, the lingering whispers in Faryll's ears suddenly disappeared, and the world suddenly fell silent, and she was a little uncomfortable.

"You...... Who the hell is it? She turned blankly.

Shanes had already walked to Erin's side, and when he heard the question, he stopped his steps, and said without looking back:

"Shanes, King of the Hunters, remember my name, beautiful young lady."

"How did you get in? This...... Where is this? ”

"I heard the cries for help from the lady, and no righteous gentleman could sit idly by. Don't thank me, I'm just a passerby. ”

Out of nowhere, he took out a round-brimmed leather felt hat and put it on his head, lowered the brim slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed a charming smile.

Then Shanes had another dog's tail grass in his mouth, and he swaggered into the minefield, and the baptism of lightning from six-year-old Erin splashed on his head like a wind and dust, and his hat was instantly blown away, and his hair was once again heavy.

Mu Yan, who witnessed this scene outside, looked constipated, he didn't realize that Shanes was so fond of pretending to be forced and keen on western style......

If he was on Earth, he would probably be a big fan of his big cousin.

……

On the other side, Shanes came to Erin.

The priest girl was frightened, her clothes were torn apart, and she clung to a rag on her chest, her petite body trembling.

Shanes stared at her, as if remembering something, and his tone was more gentle than ever.

"I'm not a bad person. Will you believe me? ”

Erin looked up, recognized that the man had just saved her, and nodded cautiously.

"Good."

Shanes unwrapped his cloak around Erin, pointing to the people lying on the ground.

"These are the bad guys, am I right?"

"...... right"

"They did something bad and they need to be punished, right?"

"Yes......" Erin stopped talking, but in the end she only said one word.

"I understand, I understand...... You're trying to say that even then, they don't sin unto death, and there's room for salvation, right? ”

The girl glanced at Faroel, who snorted coldly and turned her head away disdainfully.

Erin wiped away her tears and nodded slowly but surely.

The Lord tells us that sins can be forgiven if the victim forgives and repents sincerely. So...... As long as they sincerely repent...... Me, I can forgive them for their atrocities......"

"Good boy......" Shanes wiped the tears from her face and said softly, "You are a good boy, you are different from those idiots who talk about morality, they forgive others, be generous for others, resentful for others, jealous for others, but never look at what kind of person you are." You're not one of those people, so there's nothing wrong with your kindness, understand? ”

"Hmm...... Wow......" Erin couldn't help crying, and the grievances in her heart were swept away. Finally someone recognized her and insisted that she was doing the right thing.

"It's okay, it's okay...... Shanes patted her gently, "There's nothing wrong with being kind, it's these bad people who really make mistakes." You should indeed forgive them, but not now, but after their truly heartfelt 'repentance'. As for whether the 'confession' is sincere, it needs some means to test. ”

"Huh?" Erin looked up, "Why?" ”

"Bad people are cunning, for example, they may just try to deceive your sympathy, pretend to admit their mistakes, but in fact do not sincerely repent, and your forgiveness of these people is tantamount to condoning crime."

"Right...... But how do I discern ......?"

"It's simple."

Shanes showed a innocent and harmless smile, grabbed a man who fell to the ground and pretended to be unconscious, and slapped him with a crisp and loud voice.

"You're not genuinely repentant, you're pretending, are you?"

The man shook his head desperately, "No...... No, I am sincerely repentant! It's sincere! ”

"Smack"

With another slap, half of the man's face was swollen high, and several blood-stained teeth flew out.

"I'll ask you again, you're not genuinely repentant, you're pretending, aren't you?"

"I ...... I'm sincere......"

"Smack" The man's mouth is missing most of the teeth.

"I'll ask you again......"

"I am ......"

"Smack"

The slap was so heavy that the man was fanned and flew up, his body spun in the air for three and a half weeks, and he fell to the ground and rolled several times.

"I'm not! Sorry, I was wrong!! The man who was beaten into a pig's head crawled back and wept bitterly: "I, I lied to you, I am not sincerely repentant, I am pretending...... You're right...... Please don't hit me......"

Shanes nodded with satisfaction and said seriously to Erin, "See? If he really repents sincerely, he will never turn his back on his 'sincerity' because of such a loss of pain, and it is precisely because of his lack of sincerity that he will succumb to the pain of the flesh, which is 'false', and we often judge it this way. ”

Although Erin didn't seem to understand, she vaguely felt that it made sense, and she really listened to it.

"This is called the physical identification method, and then we will practice it one by one."

Shannes's eyes were extremely gentle when he spoke, but when he turned his head, a pair of wolf eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, but anyone who was swept by his gaze was like falling into an ice cave, as if he was being targeted by a wolf.

The men who pretended to be dizzy all over the ground scrambled to their feet, kneeling on the ground and slapping themselves.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I sincerely repent, I beg your forgiveness......"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I sincerely repent, I beg your forgiveness......"

The confession was accompanied by a loud slap, and the sound was continuous, playing a symphony.

"See, this is spontaneous repentance, and they even inflict pain on themselves as a sign of sincerity. As for whether these sinceritys are true or false, like ascetics, only they themselves know, and to outsiders, only time will test all this. In short, you don't have to worry about it for the time being. ”

He held out his hand to Erin, "I still have something to teach you, do I want to learn?" ”

The girl nodded firmly.

"Good."

Shanes led her to six-year-old Irene.

The latter's invincible lightning was deflated in front of Shanes, and with Erin's will gradually becoming firmer, she had degenerated into an ordinary six-year-old girl, and she couldn't help but take several steps back when she saw the stranger.

"You, you, don't come here! Villain! ”

Little Lori's voice was milky, but Shanes didn't eat it at all.

He picked it up, rested it on his lap, and slapped it heavily on his ass.

"Smack"

"Say! Who are the bad guys and who's the good guys? ”

"Woo woo, you're a bad guy......"

"Smack"

"Say! Who are the bad guys and who's the good guys? ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Whining...... You...... You ......"

"Smack"

"Who am I?"

"You're a bad person...... Woohoo......"

Little Lori cried intermittently, but never let go. It seems that this stupid girl's uprightness and stubbornness have been a big problem since she was six years old.

"Mr. Shannes......" Erin was a little overwhelmed.

"You should know how important it is to stand up for what you believe in." Shanes looked at her with righteous and clear eyes, but his hands did not stop.

"But she's still a child......"

"Age can't be an excuse, a child who is still in the process of growing up needs more education, and it will be too late when he grows up." The King of the Hunters smiled, "And to me you are just a child, but you have been hurt by those men and are still holding on to your creed, thinking that they can be saved." If this child is really you, then she should also stick to her creed, not just talk about it. ”

Erin was silent.

"If you're worried I'm going too hard, come on, hit her, convince her physically. If you want to make others as good as you are, if you want to change the world, to purify the ugly and evil, at least make them listen to you. As for how to listen to you, I will convince them in this way. Come on, teach this bear child a lesson. Somebody has to do it. ”

Erin gritted her teeth and slapped her six-year-old self on the buttocks.

"Erin, do you know what's wrong!"

"Woooooooooo......oo You...... You're bullying me too......"

"Smack"

"Apologize to me! Say, say you're wrong! ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Smack!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!! I apologize to you...... I don't play anymore...... Woowoo...... I'm the bad guy and Ireen is the bad guy...... Erin is the bad guy ......"

As these words were spoken, as if some trap had been triggered, the entire space shook suddenly.

Immediately, six-year-old Irene, the men who were all over the place, and the men who were slapping themselves all stopped moving, and then slowly dissipated, and the space began to distort and collapse.

At this point, Shanes stood up, rubbed Erin's hair, and held out his hand to Faryl in the distance.

"Beautiful lady, it's time for us to leave."
