Volume 3: The Demon King Chapter 5

The rabbit has returned to the demon world.

It carried a black cloth bag on its back, walked in front of the tree, and stood quietly.

There was a monkey laughing in the tree: "Little rabbit head, see if you can climb up?" ”

But the rabbit had a gloomy face.

Realizing that the rabbit was in a bad mood, the animals stopped making fun of him, and they said, "Rabbit head, what's wrong with you?" ”

The rabbit untied the cloth bag behind him and threw it in front of the tree.

Roll out of it a bloody rabbit head!

"Ah!!h

The animals screamed and almost fell off the tree.

But the little rabbit head calmly stepped forward and uncovered the cloth bag.

Fur, bones, minced meat......

The animals covered their eyes, and a few small animals even fainted in fright.

"Eaten by humans, that's all that's left." The little rabbit head said lightly.

Two lines of hot tears dripped from its face and onto the ground.

The rabbit asked the demon king, "Why is this happening?" ”

The demon king said, "Bury it in the soil." ”

The rabbit asked, "Why do humans do this?" ”

The demon king sighed, but didn't know how to answer.

"It accomplished its mission, saving the desperate, but it also put itself in it."

"Humans have betrayed the demon's trust in them...... "The demon king said.

"Human beings are not to be trusted." "From the beginning, we weren't supposed to help humans. They had water to drink and fruit to eat, but they still ate the rabbit that gave them hope for the sake of appetite. ”

"Humanity has done something wrong." The Demon King said, "It's been so long, and they still haven't changed anything. ”

The demon king said, "They will get the punishment they deserve." ”

"Yes." "I've punished them." ”

The demon king said, "What happened to you?" ”

"They're all dead." Rabbit Road.

"How did you kill them? You're a rabbit who hasn't gotten a demon yet. ”

"I poured out all their water and stole all their fruit, leaving only the portion of a man. They fought each other to be the only food they felt, and in the end, none of them remained. ”

The Demon King was silent.

"It's not right to kill." The demon king said, "Even if they deserve to die, it shouldn't be up to you." ”

"Why can't I kill them?"

"Killing is a sin, and it is not worth it to let yourself be guilty of sin because of human beings."

"So what should I do?"

"You're too young." The Demon King said, "You should leave these things to the other youkai, and they will warn the humans." ”

"Will the other youkai avenge the rabbit?"

The demon king didn't want to lie to the rabbit, he said, "Yes." But they won't be killed. ”

"But damn those humans!" Rabbit Road.

"Actually, for them, the rabbit is just an ordinary animal, and humans do not consider the killing of such a life a sin, and in fact, it is not a capital crime."

The demon king calmly told the truth.

The displaced human beings have gone through a lot of hardships and dangers just to cross this grassland and find a new home.

They are not afraid of dangers and obstacles, and they are persistently moving forward in the endless grassland, never giving up! This is the spirit that moves the tree!

So the tree sent the little animals to save them.

As far as the rabbit head is concerned, it is of course a crime for a human to kill his best friend. But from an objective point of view, isn't it a pity that such a strong group of human beings died in the grassland just because they killed a rabbit?

The demon king said, "They will not sin unto death." ”

The rabbit shook his head: "How could they not be damned?!" ”

"We have made a contract with humans that humans are not allowed to kill demons, but they can kill animals in moderation, because this is the rule of survival. What's more, you and the rabbit weren't in the Demon Realm at the time...... So, humans are not breaking the contract. ”

"But ......," said the rabbit, "they killed the rabbit......"

"People are always killing, only in this way can they live, this is the rule of survival."

"But ......," the rabbit thought for a moment, but was speechless.

"Let this matter be over like this." The demon king said, "They have already paid for their lives." Such a punishment is excessive. ”

"I thought ......," the rabbit said with a wry smile.

"It's for the peace of the demon world." The demon king said, "This matter ends here. ”

The rabbit thought for a long time.

"It is up to mankind to decide whether it is a capital offense or not. Is it true that the sin of killing life should be judged by time and place? ”

Humans and demon kings have their own standards, and they can judge what kind of killing is right and how killing is wrong.

But for every life to be slaughtered, killing is a sin from the beginning to the end, no matter what else.

Human beings can kill as they should, and use the rules of survival to justify themselves, hiding their faults even if they clearly exceed the limits of survival.

But if there is one more creature in the world that feeds on humans, will humans silently accept their fate and sacrifice themselves for the continuation of other lives?

Rabbits don't necessarily have a yes answer.

So in that case, why does the demon king still admit this statement of human beings?

Killing is because of the rules of survival.

Even though this is a truth, it is not used in any context.

For example, when there is water and food, humans still have to kill rabbits to eat, is this still to survive? No, it's because of desire.
