Chapter 156: Selfishness

Countless black silk threads, unguarded, continued to pour into his body from Shen Lao's facial features.

Ahhh

He let out a painful roar, and the whole person fell to his knees on the ground, his body trembling as the black silk threads poured in.

Intense whispers poured into his consciousness, overlapping vertigo and hallucinations almost blasting his mind away, and he felt as if something was changing in his life and spirit as the black threads poured in.

He seems, is being polluted.

However, the disparity in strength made it difficult for him to resist this change.

About a minute later.

Hoohoohoo!!

The black silk thread stopped pouring in, and Shen Lao knelt on the ground, panting constantly, his body was still trembling, and a large amount of cold sweat wet his clothes, even flowing to the ground.

It took about another five minutes for him to calm down completely.

He could clearly feel that new power seemed to be pouring out of his originally aging body, and an irrepressible feeling of evil, irritability, and anger would always unconsciously come to his heart.

At the same time, he felt that there seemed to be some subtle connection between himself and Meng Xuan.

He knew what had happened to him.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the irritable impulse in his heart, and looked at Meng Xuan with a wry smile on his face, "Even if you pollute me into a vassal, it won't help, since you have been promoted, you should be able to know that there is a world of difference between the extraordinary and the extraordinary, I am just a small patrol envoy of the Nine Lives Palace in Shahe City, I can't change anything, the terrifying things you exposed today will definitely spread, and the Star Rail side will definitely send someone to investigate you, but you don't have to be so nervous, as long as you have no problems with yourself, The star track side won't really embarrass you. ”

"I'm not in the habit of putting my fate in the hands of others."

Meng Xuan said lightly, besides, he knew his own situation.

Now, it is more accurate to say that he is a twisted life than a human.

Originally, there was still a trace of luck in his heart.

But the monster's words, Shen Lao's reaction and the ordinary people who were occasionally polluted by the terrifying power he unleashed made his heart completely enlightened.

Now he is a disaster for ordinary life.

Even the transcendent world and the Nine Lives Palace could not tolerate his existence.

Because of the distorted nature, he may lose control at any time, and if he continues to stay, his best outcome is probably to be strictly monitored by the Nine Lives Palace, and more likely, it may be to humanely destroy an unstable factor like him after asking for secrets.

After all, for the Nine Lives Palace and the Transcendent World, he was just an inconsequential newcomer, no one would intercede for him, only someone would fall for him.

The monster wasn't wrong.

From the moment he embarked on the twisted path, his future was destined to be full of darkness and loneliness.

That's the price of gaining power.

But whether he goes to the light or blends into the darkness, he will always be him, and will not degenerate into another person, replaced by another representative of the twisted self locked in the secret pattern.

"I don't need you to help me stop the Nine Lives Palace, I just need you to help me do some other little things."

Meng Xuan said calmly.

He had already made a decision in his mind that it was time to hit the road alone.

But before that, he had to deal with some things, and some things needed some help from Shen Lao.

……

……

Two days later, Jinhui Community, Meng Xuan's home.

That morning, Old Man Shen visited Meng Xuan's parents.

The old man was dressed in a neat brown suit today, with a serious face, attentive eyes, his hair meticulously combed back, an expensive mechanical watch by Zirkuk on his wrist, and gold-rimmed glasses with a retro look on his face, which looked like an elitist.

"What do you say? Because Meng Xuan's knife skills are exquisite, he has the qualifications to be sent to Charlotte University in advance?! ”

Liu Wanru, Meng Dongqi and Meng Qian almost couldn't believe their ears, if it weren't for the fact that the old man in front of him looked very imposing, and he revealed the nobility of a successful person from the way he dressed and talked, they would almost think that this guy was a liar.

Charlotte University, that is a good university that can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Chinar, how many high school juniors can't get in, with Meng Xuan's previous grades in school, he can't even think of it.

"Yes, I myself am in charge of the fighting and fighting courses in Charlotte University, Charlotte University now attaches great importance to the results of comprehensive competition, I occasionally found Meng Xuan in the city's knife competitions before, although he has not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, but I think he is a very talented good seedling, and after discussing with the school, I want to place a special recruitment quota for him, and the formalities have been completed, if you agree, I want to take him to Charlotte University for closed special training after the New Year in a few days, Prepare for the Chinar Sword Tournament in the first half of next year, and if the results are gratifying, maybe you will have the opportunity to see him on the live broadcast of the National Sword Tournament next year. ”

Old man Shen maintained a friendly smile and said, the strong self-confidence of the peak martial artist made his words invisibly more convincing.

But after listening to Old Man Shen's words, Liu Wanru and Meng Dongqi were still skeptical, and they didn't believe that there was such a pie in the sky.

Fortunately, Old Man Shen himself is a person from the relevant department, and he is even more familiar with similar work.

He took out a series of certificates, documents and admission letters from Charlotte University, and asked the head teacher and principal of Meng Xuan High School to confirm by phone, and finally drove his limousine to take Meng Xuan's family to a high-end restaurant in Shahe City for a high-end dinner, and Meng Xuan's family accepted this fact in a trance.

In the evening, after eating, Old Man Shen drove the Meng Xuan family back to Jinhui Community with obvious joy on their faces, saying that they had something to say to Meng Xuan, leaving Meng Xuan in the car.

Shen Lao and Meng Xuan watched Liu Wanru, Meng Dongqi and Meng Qian walk into the corridor with a happy and laughing face, and fell into silence for a while.

"Aren't you going to tell them the truth? I think that if you do this, it is actually more cruel to them, and the more joyful you are now, the more painful it will be when you know the truth. ”

Old man Shen said slowly.

"It's useless to talk too much, they can't help me, and the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes."

Meng Xuan looked at the disappearing back of his family, his face was calm, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do this.

He didn't know if he should let them know the truth.

He understands that they have the right to know the truth and make a choice.

But deep down, he didn't want to ruin their peaceful and peaceful life.

He knew that this was a very selfish act.

However, even though he had stepped into the transcendent, he was gradually approaching the twisted life.

But he was a man after all.

If it is a human being, it is impossible to make mistakes, it is impossible for a human being to do everything thoroughly, and it is impossible for a human being to be perfect.

As long as you are human, you will be flawed and you will be selfish.

Whether it is right or wrong, there is no right or wrong, this is his own choice after all, and he is willing to bear any consequences for it.

It was a dangerous and lonely path that he wanted to face on his own.

"What are you going to do next? Quietly leaving Shahe City? Hidden? To be clear, I will do my best, but I am not sure what will happen in the end. ”

Old man Shen's gaze looked in the direction of Meng Xuan's house in the Jinhui community.

"Quietly leaving?"

Meng Xuan's face was very calm.

"No, I'm going to turn the world upside down."
