Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Seed of Evil (Asking for Votes and Collections)
In the middle of a dilapidated incense hall.
Weeds, dead branches, and fires occasionally beep and burn.
The boy fiddled with an iron hammer, and the greedy cat on it was charred, but from the coke there was a smell of meat.
"Some of the low-level subspecies of Hell can be eaten, as long as the stomach gets used to the smell. ”
The young man carefully controlled the height of the iron drill and slowly rotated.
"No one used to eat this meat, but since the advent of the hounds, they have to eat it if they don't eat it, because no one wants to starve to death. ”
Qi Xuance sat opposite and listened quietly, trying not to let his eyes fall on the scorched corpse of the greedy corpse.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that the Hound is the former witcher. The fire reflected on the young man's face, both resolute and confused.
"No one knows when the witchers lost control, and no one knows what it all caused.
But that's what happened,
About eight years ago, when I was younger, I just thought that the TV networks on the streets were full of information about witchers.
Among them, the highest call is to disclose the identity of the demon hunter, establish a joint organization, and accept public supervision.
Isn't it ridiculous? Between the subspecies of Hell and the Witchers, humans are more worried about the latter. ”
The boy stuck the iron chisel into the ground, patted the charcoal-like shell of the gluttonous cat, and blew his fingers.
"It is said that human beings are afraid of ghosts, but in fact, there is no need at all, because throughout history, it is always human beings who kill people at most. ”
Hearing this, Qi Xuance was in a trance again, because the old man always muttered: "There will be no worse species than people in the world, and sometimes, the hell subspecies raised by the son of a bitch can't be compared." ”
Patting off the burnt skin little by little, revealing the dark green fishy barbecue, after signaling Qi Xuance's refusal, the young man tore off a strip and stuffed it into his mouth.
This decision was of course ignored by the witchers, who had always considered themselves fighting for humanity as a whole.
Faced with the ugly creatures that crawled out of hell, their countless lonely bleeding and even death, the witchers thought they should be glorified, admired rather than questioned. ”
The boy chewed the greedy cat meat one bite at a time, then swallowed it quickly, and tore another one and put it in his mouth.
The Demon Hunter's ignorance quickly spread among humans, and in word of mouth, countless conspiracy theories burst out.
For example, the Demon Hunters are no longer human, they are actually another powerful creature, the so-called resistance to the Hell subspecies, just to fight for the final right to belong to the human race......
More and more of this argument is popping up.
The crowd began to get angry, and the rhetoric against the witchers became harsher and harsher, until the various coercive measures against the witchers were introduced, and everything was irreversible. ”
The boy took out a kettle from behind him, took a few sips, and wiped his mouth.
"Eventually, after a hunt to kill the subspecies of Hell, an injured witcher was found and imprisoned after forcibly extracting DNA.
This behavior caused a lot of resentment among the witchers, who raided the detention site and rescued the injured witcher, only to accidentally lead to the death of a human prison guard.
This event may have been the trigger for the beginning of everything.
At this point, the relationship between humans and witchers is about to reach a freezing point, and the two sides begin to clash on a small scale, and this conflict gradually erodes the last shred of reason on both sides.
Finally, five years ago, after the last Spring Festival, the skirmishes slipped step by step into the abyss of all-out war......"
The young man said as he ate, but when he said this, he still stopped, looked at the fire with deep eyes, smiled mockingly, and said, "Total war ......"
Oh, yes.
Total War!
Behind these four simple words, what is represented is a ruthless and bloody meat grinder, a meat grinder composed of humans and humans.
"It wasn't until humans began to hunt down witchers that civilized humans living in the twenty-first century really understood the power of the latter.
Technology is a foreign object after all, especially when the demon hunters completely control the satellite communication base, when the power of science and technology no longer forms a joint attack, but falls into separate battles, the powerful physical power will tear apart the technology that modern humans are proud of.
I've seen an old gray-haired witcher slaughter a mechanized regiment...... The regiment commander was my father, and the company commander was my elder brother. ”
The boy's tone was indifferent, it was helplessness after sadness.
"When killing becomes a habit, ordinary humans become prey, prey struggling between the infernal subspecies and the witchers. ”
Eloquently talking about the situation in the world in the tower, the young man who talked to himself seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, and a trace of old age appeared on his immature face.
Qi Xuance was also silent, is this the old man's experience in his youth?
It doesn't matter anymore.
The important thing is - will this situation occur in the world outside the tower? The witchers roam the darkness, hunting the demons of hell with their blood and lives, which is of course correct and glorious.
But who gave the witchers that right?
The answer is no one.
It all stems from what the witchers consider to be their duty, from a legacy that has been passed down from ancient times.
And he who sustains all this,
It's just the self-regulation of the witchers.
There has never been a group of people who are all good.
The same goes for witchers.
When everything in the world outside the tower is made public, will the humans there maintain their generosity and trust in the witchers?
When doubts arise, will the demon hunters, led by the Four Holy Lands, put down their bodies to explain in the face of human distrust?
The point is – is the explanation useful?
Qi Xuance beside the fire suddenly felt a chill in his body, because he suddenly discovered that the unstable factors in the human world were not only hell demons, but also demon hunters.
In the face of human suspicion and greed, peace has always been so far away.
With a long exhale, Qi Xuance's understanding of the Hell Tower was another layer deeper, and the middle-level Hell Subspecies didn't believe it if he was killed.
If the first layer of eternal illusion depends on the obsession of life and death, then the second layer is completely cold people's hearts.
It depicts the horror of the human heart to all the witchers who enter the place with a brutal picture, planting a seed of distrust in the hearts of the witchers.
This is more evil and vicious than anything else, and the witchers have no way to refute it, because the long and bloody history of warfare shows that this is indeed the case with human beings.
"Passerby, that's why I call you a hound, you're a powerful witcher, aren't you?"
The young man was full of food and drink, and his eyes were staring at Qi Xuance.
Qi Xuance nodded, thought about it, and took out a small talisman and returned it.
"It's called the Flower of Pingjiang Lane, a vulgar name, from a vulgar old man, you can keep it and think about it slowly. ”
The young man grabbed the talisman in his hand, looked at it over and over, and said lightly: "The flower of Pingjiang Lane?" is the name...... I love it!"
Qi Xuance rolled his eyes.
meanwhile
With a click, the idol in the middle of the ruined temple was smashed by a long ladder of white bones falling from the sky.
Now that the evil seed has been planted, the third layer of passage will naturally appear.
