Chapter 901: Satomi and Yoko
"What is the Mandate of Heaven? Who has made it? Alas...... It's really not that I'm pedantic, but in today's world, it's no longer a good person who can say it. "In the dim night, Xun Yan broke away from the real illusion, like waking up from a dream, as if fate had been reincarnated so far, and the helpless sadness would be repeated again. He thought in his heart, feeling ignorant, but he did not regret his original intention. The white lotus melts into the filthy world and is spotless, I'm afraid it is also a scarce preciousness, right?
Xun Yan complained at first, and then sighed. In today's world, the way is filthy, and the wicked are in charge, so that the gentleman is covered with dust. Yes, he didn't think that his fate was due to his own pedantry, he attributed all this tragedy to this chaotic world, to the dark reality! He knew that he couldn't always live in a dream, but who would want to see a hellish world?
Because there is ambition, there will be strife, and the chess pieces in the hand are getting bigger and bigger, and the ambition is also increasing. In his previous life, the "lord" was also a young man with strong blood, and the reason why he did not become a "demon" prematurely was because the power in his hands was not enough, and his ambition was not too big. When he had just entered the imperial capital and became a small lieutenant at the feet of the Son of Heaven, at that time, how could he dare to think of becoming king? When he became a wanted criminal and wandered like a rat crossing the street, how could he have thought that one day he could slaughter the lives of people in one city after another? Is this the fault of the power itself, or is it the responsibility of the people's hearts that are out of control?
When the selfish desires and greed of the human heart swell, when the world no longer pursues the truth but is invincible, when the fanatics who love war grasp the absolute domineering power of the human world, when everyone thinks that morality is useless, power is invincible, justice is nothing, and power is omnipotent, it can only prove that human beings have long lost the last trace of innocence, and the human heart is being overwhelmed by brazen utilitarian thoughts. The human world, which seems to be gradually unified, is actually just a prop for someone to realize their ambitions, this piece of the country is just a puzzle put together by careerists, in fact, the bad atmosphere of the human world is even more prosperous than the demon world!
That's right, in Xun Yan's view, a group of soldiers who can't think, don't distinguish between right and wrong, and only know how to obey, they may be brave in killing the enemy, but if they become the executioners of the slaughter of the city, they will also be the most inhuman demons in the world. They are no longer people, but machines, puppets, props, and murder weapons! Such a concept does not seem to be objective, but Xun Yan is powerless to change the status quo, so why should he think too much? With his cultivation, even Guo Xing beside Sutlun can't win, so why bother asking for trouble for himself?
As the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the heavy task of rectifying the discipline, he naturally did not dare to slack off. He knew that everything he did would cure the symptoms rather than the root cause, but he was powerless to shake the terrifying mountains, the source of darkness, and it was not as simple as just Sutron. He couldn't do it alone, because what his heart was facing was the darkness of the whole world, and even a saint could not be the enemy of the whole world. Since there is nothing he can do, he should not think too much.
It is not Xun Yan who is wrong, but the world! It is the fault of the world! Benevolence, righteousness and morality will not be wrong at any time, if benevolence and righteousness cannot be upheld, morality will become pedantic, and the sky will be blamed for having no eyes, and people's hearts will be lost. Now, away from the hustle and bustle, he can do something for the world, which is also a great blessing in misfortune. As long as he is alive, he cannot waste his time.
"Whew...... What, the sun still has to rise as usual, so why should I worry about the sky?" Xun Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Member of the Wind Discipline Committee...... I can contribute a little bit to the world, do what I can, and do what I can, and it's worth it......"
After a while, crisp footsteps sounded outside the office door, and soon, a pleasant female voice sounded outside the door: "Is Chairman Xun here?
"Come in. Xun Yan returned to his normal color and sat upright in the middle.
Pushing through the door were two young women who looked about eighteen years old, and an aura unique to a magical practitioner came to their faces, and another assassin-like murderous aura forced into the room at the same time.
Xun Yan had seen the world after all, and he stretched out his hand to beckon one of the women to come forward. The woman was handsome, not tall, small and delicate, with blue eyes and silver hair and a ponytail, and was wearing a black casual dress. Xun Yan really felt the aura emanating from his body, this person's cultivation was not low, he looked at this woman, and asked with a leisurely smile: "This girl, what is your name?"
"My name is Lin Congmei, this is Yoko Oda, the two of us have always been good friends......" It was this "Lin Congmei" who spoke before knocking on the door just now, she was quite enthusiastic, and she knew that her personality was lively when she listened to the tone, although she was cultivated, she was also simple, and she had a certain unique attraction of a girl. In contrast, the tall woman named "Yoko Oda" behind her seemed a little more indifferent.
Lin Congmei...... Well, yes, very honest girl. Why did you apply for the position of Discipline Officer?"
"If you have skills, you don't have a place to show them...... That's all...... I didn't have a place to go on weekdays, and I didn't like to fight and kill, so I didn't join the army. Lin Congmei said frankly without subtlety, "As for Yoko, he likes to kill people very much, but she likes to be alone, and she is a little confused, she once took over a commission task from the killer group, and originally planned to kill an unknown little thunder magician with a killer of the demon clan...... As a result, she overslept, causing the killer on her team to be killed by the little magician. Originally, as long as Yoko went, that kind of small role couldn't escape her slashing at all...... Because of this incident, Yoko was expelled from the killer group, lost her job, and refused to take care of the home, and now she finally has a stable and not too restrictive job to do, so ......"
"Congmei ......" Yoko's cold voice finally sounded, and between the gloomy words, there was a faint murderous aura, as if it was more terrifying than the flood beast, "You have to say half a word more...... My demon sword 'Village Rain' will unload you in an instant......"
"Don't do that...... Yoko, no matter how fast you are out of the knife, I'm afraid you won't be able to help my ability......" Lin Congmei smiled all over her face, not taking Yoko's cold tone seriously at all, one is a young girl with a bit of nerves, and the other is a cold female killer who doesn't smile, two girls with completely opposite personalities, in Xun Yan's opinion, can play a complementary role.
Yoko smiled coldly: "Really, your movement distance is limited, I just don't want to demolish you." If it weren't for you and my sister, I would have chopped you up with a knife......"
"Well, it's worthy of being a descendant of 'Oda Nobunaga', and he is so domineering when he speaks. But I, Lin Cong, is also a good man in Liangshan, a descendant of 'Leopard Head Lin Chong'...... Forget it, for the sake of Yoko, you are a year older than me, it still doesn't hurt your self-esteem......" Lin Congmei was joking, she also knew that Yoko was a more serious person, and everything was easy to be more serious, so she just "played" with the other party, if you want to hurt your self-esteem, isn't she almost hurt?
Yoko is tired of her smart and grinning personality, always open-mouthed, and now she is exposing her ugly things in front of their future leaders, how bad the impact is! Congmi is really unintentional, she can't control her mouth, she can't help but say it, Yoko also understands, she is by no means a black-bellied person, but she is always such a "big mouth", who can stand it?
It's just that Yoko doesn't know that she may be really unqualified as a killer, but that time she overslept and delayed the assassination mission, but it saved her life instead. If she had gone to Lordaan City with the Demon Slayer named "Bradley" that time, there would have been another electrocuted corpse on the streets of Lordaan City when the rain stopped that night. Because of that trip, the target she assassinated was named "Xia Yanfeng", but she herself knew nothing about intelligence.
Of course, Yoko's personality is too lazy to know too much, she doesn't like to read texts, she actively refuses the information provided by the employer, and she wants to kill the other party anyway, so why ask everything clearly? Which killer will remember the appearance of everyone they killed?
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, everyone will be colleagues in the future, change the bad habits a little, after all, the discipline committee members are in charge of discipline, and if you want to manage others well, we have to lead by example first. Xun Yan asked, and his aura came out, instantly suppressing the momentary arrogance of the two girls, "So...... I know your names, tell me what you are capable of. ”
Lin Congmei spoke first. She practiced spatial magic, and her ability was "spatial movement", which is "teleportation" in the true sense. Although she can't do anything but move in space, this ability exists in the Heavenly Continent and is obviously extremely useful. Because in the Heavenly Continent, there are very few magicians in the space system, because the difficulty of space magic cultivation is extremely high, and it is also extremely dangerous, and the elemental variables when transferring themselves are also extremely difficult to control, once the control is slightly deviated or accidentally out of control, the mind is haunted, and they will transfer themselves to an extremely unfavorable environment, or transfer to the river, to the underground, and into the wall, so it is common to be seriously injured or die during practice.
According to Xun Yan's understanding, the cultivation of space magic requires Qi Gao Qijian's mind, and his mental power must be a few times higher than that of ordinary people, and his attention must be concentrated, and in the process of transfer, even inadvertent distraction is fatal. Moreover, space magic is not compatible with other types of magic, if you practice elemental magic and space magic at the same time, then the sea of spirit carries too many magic streaks, and it cannot fully respond to spatial movement in time. Legend has it that none of the above high-level magicians are practicing space magic, so it can be seen that this girl named Lin Congmei is by no means simple, and may even be a potential stock worth cultivating.
"It's just that my 'spatial movement' is not very stable, and the realm is not high, and each movement is no more than 500 meters at most, and I can't stand it physically and mentally if I exceed 500 meters. When moving, you can't carry objects or people, and you can't move if you have a wound on your body, otherwise the wound will burst. After each move, it takes ten seconds to slow down, and the mana can't keep up with the continuous movement...... To put it bluntly, I'm a 'rookie'......" Lin Congmei is also blunt about her own disadvantages.
Satomi is different from Yoko, she can't kill people, because she can't hold things in her hands, and her weapons will drop when she moves, so she can't kill people in space while moving. However, Xun Yan admires her very much, after all, the "Discipline Commissioner" does not need to be able to kill, and the use of "spatial movement" to chase people is undoubtedly a great "magic skill", which is more effective than those tricks that can fight and kill.
"You are qualified......" Xun Yan was facing Lin Congmei, with a smile on his face, "You are a good girl, I hope you can work hard and become an excellent member of the Discipline Inspection Commission......"
"Hmm......" Lin Congmei would not hide her emotions, she nodded excitedly, and hurriedly took the armband handed by Xun Yan, "I will work hard......"
