Chapter 400: Instinct Awakening 3
With a bang, the flames on my body dissipated, and I smiled, looking at the woman in pain, up and down her body, her skin cracked little by little, faintly showing red light.
A large hole appeared in the woman's chest, and she groaned in pain and wailed bitterly.
"No one can stop me, ah......"
Suddenly, the woman screamed, and black tears flowed from her eyes, and the tears that seemed to be thick ink flowed to her chest little by little, and the big hole that had pierced me was healed little by little.
I lay limply on my head with the Desire Monster, and my consciousness was about to melt.
There was a creaking sound, and I felt like I was being caught, it was the desire monster, the woman's distorted smile, and the hollow dark eyes that revealed a bottomless darkness.
With a roar, the desire monster roared angrily, as if representing the woman's will, and I only felt the scenery in front of me shaking, and then quickly fell to the ground.
There was a thud, dust kicked up all around, and I fell to the ground.
"Are you going to die?"
My head was blank, all over the sky, one by one, ghosts, open their mouths, gathered towards me, black, all around, all black, gradually, I closed my eyes, Lao Ren hurriedly ran towards me, shouting.
Through the cracks, I saw the woman, hand raised, smiling maniacally, with a completely crazy look on her face.
"Are you dead?" Once again, I came to a half-white, half-black world, and stood in the middle, and in the darkness, the ghost with golden eyes appeared, and walked slowly towards me.
"What's the difference between a human and a ghost? Zhang Qingyuan. ”
"What do you say?" I looked at the golden-eyed ghost in a daze, his eyes seemed to have a hint of a smile.
"I'm not asking you, people and ghosts, two different kinds of existence, this kind of childish thing, answer me, what is the difference between humans and ghosts?"
Suddenly, I found that the surrounding scenery was changing little by little, it was a farmhouse, raising a lot of chickens and ducks, and at night, in the house, the lights were bright, and a woman's screams of pain kept coming from inside.
Outside the house, there stood a farmer, an old man, and others, who looked like villagers, and I noticed that on the roof tiles, a ghost with a tongue falling out and a black face was squatting, looking down excitedly.
In the room, the voice of an old woman kept coming.
"If you work hard, you will be born soon, and you will be fast."
In the house, the baby was being born, and I looked again, and on the roof, the black-faced ghost, as if waiting for something.
The people outside the house seemed to be very anxious, while the villagers next to them were constantly comforting the farmer who was about to become his father.
Inside the house, the painful howls of the woman giving birth continued.
Finally, the croaking baby cries and sounds.
"It's a son, congratulations."
The door opened, and the midwife came out with a baby in her arms.
Suddenly, I saw the black-faced ghost on the roof, and with a snort, flew to the crying baby, and the baby's crying was even louder, and I saw the ghost, stretching out his hand, a hand, into the baby's body, and then suddenly, grabbed a white mass and swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly, I wanted to rush over, but my body couldn't move, and then the black-faced ghost burrowed into the baby's body, and the baby, who was still crying, stopped crying.
The baby's eyes changed, very fierce, and no one noticed that the black-faced ghost had completely occupied the baby's body.
Gradually, the baby grew up, and was expressionless and very violent all day, and would hide in a dark corner, without seeing the sun all day.
Slowly, the grown child, every night, would secretly go out, some of the village livestock, alive and swallow alive, and then, when he became an adult, the child, no longer satisfied with livestock, began to eat people, tearing out people's hearts, swallowing them alive.
Gradually, the people in the village disappeared one by one, and finally, it was the turn of the child's parents, and when they killed their parents, the child laughed happily.
Little by little, the picture disappeared.
"Is that a human or a ghost?"
The golden-eyed ghost asked again, and I looked at him blankly and muttered in reply.
"It's a demon in human skin."
A burst of laughter came, and then the picture appeared again, it was the young man who was the incarnation of the black-faced ghost, who was already dressed in fine clothes and food, and had been dressed in official robes, but had become very elegant, in the court, and many powerful people, had a very good relationship, and there was no ghost appearance at all, and he was still in the time of natural disasters, in his own jurisdiction, opening a warehouse to release grain.
"So this time, is he a human or a ghost?"
The golden-eyed ghost asked again, and for a while, I didn't know how to answer him.
"Look at these again."
The picture turned again, it was a big house, in broad daylight, but gloomy, a family, old and young, all standing at the door, looking very rich, but because the house was haunted, and restless all day.
The family, on the first night of the new house, was disturbed by the ghosts, and the next morning, the family would sleep in the yard for months.
I have found a lot of monks and Taoist priests to come back, however, they all gave it to the female ghost and threw it out.
Finally, I found a Maoshan Taoist priest who seemed to have strong mana, and that Taoist priest sacrificed the altar that night, cast a spell, and after a vicious fight, fixed the female ghost in the talisman array.
"Oh, demon, don't get out of here quickly."
"No, Dao Chief, please, let the family move out, my kid, hasn't come back yet, I have to wait for him here, it's too popular, my child, don't dare to come back, you have a good heart, please."
The female ghost kept begging, but the Taoist priest didn't say a word, and tortured the female ghost, no matter how the female ghost pleaded, she had no choice but to leave, and the Taoist priest also found her ashes altar, sent it to a mass grave far away, ignored it, and after collecting a lot of money, the Taoist priest left satisfied.
And the female ghost, after being sent to the mass grave, was bullied by the lonely ghosts who were more powerful than her in the mass grave all day long, and washed her face with tears all day long, and she couldn't leave here, and washed her face with tears all day long.
Little by little, the picture fades away.
"Let me ask you again, is the ghost here a human being, a ghost?"
I said in a dull voice.
"It's just a missing child, an ordinary mother."
The ghost with golden eyes laughed, and the picture turned again, it was the female ghost, covered in black gas, who had turned into a powerful ghost, and she continued to devour the ghosts in the mass grave.
Then the female ghost, having gained strength, went back, and in one night, the whole family, hundreds of people, and livestock in the house all died.
The Taoist priest who heard about this, in addition to grief and indignation, came back again, and started a death-defying duel with the female ghost, and finally, let the female ghost fly away and turn into ashes, and the Taoist priest was also seriously injured, and soon after going back, he muttered that he had eliminated the demon and died.
"Then let me ask you again, the ghost obviously killed someone, but you said that she is just a mother waiting for the child to come back, she is a human and a ghost."
I froze in place, staring blankly at the golden-eyed ghost, who approached step by step, at the place where the black and white dividing line, revealed his figure, with a cold face, and looked exactly like me.
"Zhang Qingyuan, let me ask you again, what is the difference between humans and ghosts?"
"As you said before, people are born of ghosts, and ghosts are formed after people die, and their grievances do not disperse."
"No, it's not right at all......"
The ghost with the golden eyes had one foot out, and then I found that the white part was dyed black little by little, and his cold hand grabbed my shoulder.
"If there are two beings who are exactly the same in form, ability or strength, man and ghost, I want to ask you whether man is a king or a ghost is a king, one is the king, and the other is only a stepping stone to the king, and the existence that enhances its power, whether it is a human or a ghost, you answer me, where is the surprise of the two?"
I looked at me with golden eyes in amazement, he looked extremely excited, and his cold expression melted a little, revealing a sense of pleasure.
"To have the same power, in order to use stronger power, what is needed, to be a king, what is needed is the desperate pursuit of power, the desire to fight, the ruthless destruction of the enemy, the possession of the absolute desire for power, that is, the seal engraved in the deepest part of our body, engraved in the most primitive essence of things, incomparably thorough, called instinct."
My eyes widened in surprise, and my shoulders were pinched by the golden-eyed me, and then suddenly, the space around me became black and white, and the golden-eyed me pushed me away.
"What do you lack, the most fundamental instinct to be king, answer me, what is your instinct?"
I quietly recalled the past, everything, in my mind, like a marquee, swept by.
With a bang, I took out a black long sword in my hand and walked over step by step.
"Answer me, what is your instinct?"
There was a strange feeling in my hand, I felt it, I was holding a white long sword in my hand, very simple, with only a long string of pure white long swords on the back of the knife, more than a meter long, exactly the same as the one I used when I fought against the ghost rakshasas.
Whew, the golden-eyed me, flashed in front of me, and I immediately held the white sword, and with a ding, blocked his attack.
"Answer me, what is your instinct? What is the source of your despair? ”
I looked at him in shock, and I, with my golden eyes, raised my black sword again and slashed at me.
