Chapter 146: Enraged
The boy's slightly maniacal laughter came out of his throat, echoing slightly through the shadowy basement. There was no smile in his eyes, only a dry laugh coming out of his throat. Suddenly, a gloomy and miserable feeling slowly crept up every corner of the studio.
Liqi couldn't see any mental abnormality from his previous words and deeds, and she didn't think that her actions could destroy the young man's spirit to the verge of madness in a short period of time.
Lizzie pondered in silence for a moment, then approached the young man who was chuckling softly, and at the same time looked at the unkempt boy with suspicious eyes. The living conditions of the slum dwellers are quite poor, but they are not so poor that they are not as unruly as they are.
The boy's dirty dress was rather deliberate, and even among the slum dwellers it was a little abrupt - the only people who looked like him were homeless vagrants and beggars. There is no doubt that these people can easily fall prey to the hands of the "True Eye".
These people who have nothing are better agitated than others, because most of them are quite dissatisfied with certain groups that have relegated them to the bottom, and they are also desperate to change the status quo. And it costs little to let these people who are full of malice towards the existing group of Catrice squander their last bit of value, and there is no more suitable cannon fodder for those "true eyes" who are afraid of the chaos in the world.
As the boy's laughter grew softer and softer, Lizzie was almost close to him. He still didn't care about Liqi's actions, but was just immersed in his own world. A pair of moist eyes blinked from time to time, meaninglessly past Lizzie, staring into the dark void.
"What are you laughing at? I'm not going to give up just because you're in the wrong mind - it's just the beginning. It's not going to end until you're willing to sue me for something. Lizzie cast her gaze at the boy with his head down, allowing herself to appear in his field of vision, "Since you were planning to remain silent or show me that you were dismissive of threats in the first place, I could spend a little more time with you." ”
In fact, the human spirit has a great strength of elasticity, and there are naturally reasons for crazy words and deeds. Whether it's war, abuse, or any other intense personal experience, it can be traumatic. But if you want to drive people into madness, it's not that easy.
Pure violence will only hurt people*, while long-term violence will have a lasting negative impact on people's psychology and even affect people's perceptions. Lizzie can guarantee that she did not use inhumane means to destroy the teenager's spirit, and the previous beating should belong to the category of deterrence.
It is true that most people who suffer from severe mental illness begin at an early age. And suffered from mental illness all his life. And if a typical person of normal mind is often the only one who has experienced extremely strict emotional fluctuations that will make him change from a "normal person" to a "madman".
Of course, misfortune can fall from the sky, and it may not be smooth sailing for anyone in his life. Regardless of the terrible conditions that care about closing anyone to the brink of extinction, it is not impossible that one day you have to face something that goes against the common sense of the world.
These incomparably terrifying knowledge and existences. It will make people understand their trembling true meaning spiritually and *mentally. No matter how strong a person's spirit may be, these "undesirable experiences" are bound to shake and destroy the "normal" worldview they once had.
The teenager didn't seem to have a mental disability per se, and the series of reactions from his attack on Curt to his turn and run after the defeat showed that he clearly had a clear sense of reason. Such a low, continuous laugh did not seem like a manifestation of his abnormal spirit, but more akin to a deliberate mockery.
The terminology used to describe a phenomenon is constantly changing, and one of the most obvious examples is that words that have been used for centuries, such as "madman," have begun to be replaced by more neutral terms. There are more definite words to describe their words and actions.
Among the known words and deeds, the most striking are those that are related to behavior and culture. Different births can get different education, and different thinking patterns can be cultivated under the influence of different education. Eventually, people with different mindsets will have different words and deeds.
The same is true of the young man in front of him, if he is really a homeless man or a beggar from the lowest level of the Carteris, as she appears from the outside. Then it is difficult for his way of thinking to be detached from his experience, and what he does should naturally be done according to his own mode of thinking.
But Lizzie doesn't think that these low-level people can have much team spirit, they will only do things that are "good" for themselves, regardless of whether they will disobey the order or not. Although it is true that they are unlikely to betray their friends. But that's only when there's not enough interest for them to betray.
It stands to reason that these people are not suitable for any secret work. For not only cannot be relied upon in this matter, but also cannot be trusted in everything. As long as they are threatened by a certain amount of Cheng dù or can move their interests. will be able to make them defect without hesitation.
But this young man does not have the sense of instability that those people should have, but has an unwavering faith. Somehow, there is a will that is different from ordinary people supporting him, making him almost like those fanatics who act for some "noble purpose".
His gaze did not look at Liqi, and his eyes lacked emotional fluctuations, and he looked blankly into the void, not knowing whether he was mocking his fate or trying to use violence on himself to obtain information. For some reason, he was always reluctant to communicate with Lizzie.
The flat laughter gradually stopped, and the boy was silent for a moment before finally speaking...... However, what came out of his mouth was not the information that Lizzie wanted, but a mockery akin to a curse: "Four sages, you unrighteous people will eventually burn in the fire of the end." ”
Hearing the boy's sneer and the taunt squeezing out between his teeth, Lizzie was speechless. Faith leads to a strong will, and it is true that some people will not be discouraged in the face of death, but there should never be a young poor boy among them.
"Four Sages, I'm really sorry that your 'Holy Master' isn't here......" Responding to the taunt with a mockery, Lizzie looked at the young man who was calmly facing the threat, "No, that bastard is nowhere - neither in this world, nor in the world you want it to be." ”
Basically, in the territory of the Osattaria Dominion, many people will show awe and longing when they hear the name "Four Sages". As the most widespread religion in the human race, the Holy Episcopal Sect represented by the "Four Sages" has a wide range of believers in Catrice.
Although some scholars now regard them as fairy tale characters and doubt the authenticity of their existence, with the spread of religion, their great deeds have become a legend known to everyone throughout the old 6 and even in the whole world.
Many people have grown up listening to their glorious deeds as bedside stories, and there are countless novels, stage plays, and movies based on the stories of the "Four Sages", as well as paintings and music of these legendary fragments.
But for some reason, this religion is none of the most hated faith groups in Lizzie.
What the boy has done so far is to provoke Lizzie, if it weren't for Curt having told Lizzie not to use "too violent" means against the boy, she would definitely use electric shock spells to make the boy spit out all the things in his body without mercy.
But that didn't stop her from beating the boy with all her might—she manipulated the shadow tentacles to knock him off, and then suddenly took a step forward, slamming all her strength into the boy's flank. The punch was aimed at the gap under the bone, and she could clearly feel that she had hit the opponent's body.
"You can pray to whomever you want, Cleabrola and Queros of the Four Sages...... Or is it the Holy Lord who looks at the control of a qiē, no matter who it is. Lizzie looked indifferently at the boy who was gasping for breath from the blow, and sarcastically mocked him mercilessly, "If you think they will come to your rescue, or if I will die suddenly from heart paralysis, then pray as much as you can." ”
While pressuring the boy with a mechanically ruthless tone, Lizzie flew up again with an expressionless face, causing her heel to sink into the boy's flank. She didn't have the magic to strengthen her body, but the pain from this kick still made the boy's body twitch for a while.
The boy gritted his teeth, and he finally reacted to Lizzie's actions, but eighty percent of them were anger, and there was no fear in the remaining twenty percent. Lizzie's remarks were undoubtedly an attack on his faith, but the boy could do nothing but endure her attacks now.
"Or do you want me to recite the prayer for you? If that's the case, then it's not impossible for me to recite something a little to fulfill your wishes. ”
Lizzie sneered, as if to mock the young man's meaningless faith: "Woohoo, the great one who rules over all things in the world, please lower your noble gaze." The innocent are crushed by the guilty, the good are staggered under the whip of the wicked, and your humble children yearn for your salvation. ”
The passage recited by Lizzie is from Book 9, Chapter 7 of the Holy Book, which describes the prayers of the four sages to the Lord when they saw the enslaved people in their ministry. However, when she, as the perpetrator, recited this prayer, it was full of sarcasm about what the boy had done. (To be continued)
