It's hard to tell right from wrong: Puppet chapter
The ghost's reaction was also extremely fast, and he instantly withdrew his hand to avoid the sword, and then punched again at an incredible speed, directly hitting Xiao Shu's lower abdomen, he did not choose the fatal point of ordinary people such as heart and throat, because he knew very well that the root of Xiao Shu's body was a soulless spirit puppet, and the spiritual power gathering place could not hide from his eyes.
Can't be hard anymore, Xiao Shu secretly thought in his heart, the strength of the ghost's body is much higher than his half-hung spirit body, if his fists and feet are hard, he is not an opponent anyway, unless he can condense the Dao body, he can compete with it under the blessing of the inner element, he forces himself to take the defensive position at a faster speed, and the sword technique cannot be used, and he will definitely lose if he blindly resists.
If you want to keep up with or even surpass the speed of the ghost, Xiao Shu is not impossible, but this spirit body can't bear it, once the speed crosses the critical point, without the other party's action, this body will collapse on its own.
But if you just maintain the current speed, no matter how fast you react, you can only defend, flaws are often fleeting, and if you can't catch them, it means that there are no flaws, and when the soulless spirit puppet faces a strong person like a ghost, the disadvantages will be infinitely magnified.
Xiao Shu was about to avoid this punch, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Rose who was sitting on the ground behind her, she had not yet recovered, if she retreated, Rose would definitely die, and in desperation, she had to raise her sword to block again.
Half-step Shenyuan's punch can be blocked, and the ground spreads to both sides like water, and the street lamps and houses along the way all collapsed, and it was not until a hundred zhang away that the momentum stopped.
"The soulless puppet restricts you too much, even if you win, it's not boring, so let's stop here. ”
The ghost shook his head, the time is almost up, the puppet should have been done, if he is a puppet, he will never let go of this opportunity easily, and he will definitely kill Xiao Shu to prevent future troubles, but ghosts are the same as night crows, they would rather let go of their opponents than disdain to take advantage of people's danger.
Just as he was about to turn around.
A strand of black hair fell down, a slight stinging pain came from his cheeks, and a bottomless ravine appeared on the ground on the right side of nowhere, and suddenly a violent storm arose, the robes hunted, and the ghost's footsteps paused slightly, if this sword was aimed at the back of the heart, I am afraid that it was himself who fell.
"Next time, I hope you can get back to your full glory, and we can have a good time. ”
The ghost touched the wound on his face, although he was frightened, but he was not half afraid, he was only half a step away from the abyss, but he couldn't break through for a long time, although the puppet just asked him to delay time, but for the ghost, it was unbelievable, after all, when it came to his realm, it was difficult to have a chance to shoot with all his strength.
However, it was still a little worse, he underestimated the restrictions of the soulless spirit puppet on Xiao Shu, and he was inevitably a little lost in his heart, there was no point in continuing to fight, anyway, the task was completed, and he left without looking back.
In the ruins, Xiao Shu barely supported the collapsed floor above his head with his only remaining left hand, his right hand had been shaken apart, his figure loomed, and he could almost see the spirit puppet body in his lower abdomen.
Rose beside her was already unconscious, and although she was not injured, she couldn't bear the oppression caused by the ghost's punch, and fainted directly.
Mo Yoo slowed down for half a minute, and when his body was a little more solid, Xiao Shu pushed away the boulder and called a few times, but Rose still didn't wake up, so she had no choice but to pick it up from the ground and slowly walk in the direction of her house.
The west side of the aristocratic district is in ruins, countless buildings have collapsed, the ground is shattered, and I don't know how many people have suffered this unjustified disaster and died in vain.
Panicked people can be seen everywhere, stumps and broken arms can be vaguely seen in the rubble, adults rush to the nearest medical area with children with bloody faces in their hands to seek treatment, they can't care about the injuries on their bodies at all, maybe a moment later, it is the difference between life and death.
Obviously, one second there was still talking and laughing, and the next second, the cold wind in the north swept away all the warm storage.
"Please help me...... My mom she's crushed underneath ......"
No one paid attention.
Where is the life and death of others compared to the lives of themselves and their families, the cries are endless, they are helpless, as if the sky is falling, blood and dust stick to their faces, desperately pulling the rubble, but the pieces of thousands of pounds of boulders do not move at all, everything is just in vain.
Xiao Shu couldn't help but stop, and a blank appeared in his calm and waveless eyes, these people did not die at his hands, but if he didn't insist on doing it, how could there be this scene in front of him, tracing back to the source, half of the evil consequences were attributed to him Xiao Shu, he always thought about why the injustice of heaven was, and the scene in front of him aggravated the doubts in Xiao Shu's heart.
"It's okay, you watch this sister closely, I'll move these stones away now, is your mother crushed underneath?"
After Xiao Shu put down the rose, he squatted down and touched the little girl's head, but comforting people is not his strong point, it's okay if he doesn't open his mouth, but when he opens his mouth, the girl cries even more, and the words are not good, Xiao Shu was trying to comfort a few words, and suddenly felt that his left hand was wet, and it was full of blood.
"Don't cry yet, it may hurt a little, bear with it. ”
Xiao Shu carefully brushed her hair, only to find that there was a deep wound on the back of her head, and now it was still bleeding out, if it was not discovered in time, it would definitely be life-threatening.
"Are there any other injuries anywhere?"
The girl shook her head.
"That'...... I'll take you to treat the wound first, bandage it a little, and even if you save your mother, you'll die." Xiao Shu glanced at the ruins in front of him, he didn't want to say it explicitly, but there was indeed no breath of a living person down there, and it was impossible to survive.
The girl still shook her head.
"Cover your wounds and keep an eye on this sister. ”
Xiao Shu sighed, turned around and walked towards the ruins, but was stopped by the girl, she pointed to Xiao Shu's right hand, and whispered, "Your hand...... Is it crushed?"
Xiao Shu was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, it was crushed." ”
"It's too heavy, you can't lift it alone......" The girl didn't believe that this thin teenager with a broken hand would be able to help her rescue her mother.
"I wish I couldn't lift myself, but if so, why ...... Alas, maybe the little monk in the north and south is right, there is cause and effect in the dark, and the tracing back to the root is endless, how can I, Xiao Shu, be detached. ”
Xiao Shu laughed at himself, if he was just an ordinary mortal, it would be impossible for him to come to the Void Spirit Realm, and all this would not have happened, and they would not have suffered this unwarranted disaster, could it be that the calamity of these people was already doomed the moment he Xiao Shu was born?
Without much effort, he easily moved away from the rubble, the miracle did not happen, there was only an unrecognizable, twisted and deformed corpse under the ruins, and it was vaguely recognizable as a woman, Xiao Shu's mood became heavier and heavier, I don't know how many similar corpses there were, these people had nothing to do with him, but they died because of him.
"Mom, how's she doing?"
The girl walked towards Xiao Shu step by step, hoping that with Xiao Shu's long silence, it would dissipate without a trace, she didn't understand what death was, but death had left an indelible imprint in her heart in the most tragic way.
"She's not my mother, my mother doesn't look like this......! That's right...... She's definitely playing hide and seek with me, she's definitely hiding, isn't she...... I'm going to find her...... I'm going to find her......"
The girl retreated to herself, she had already lost too much blood, and she was even more in a trance under the repeated blows, and she stumbled backwards, but the ruins were full of sharp wooden thorns, which would scratch if she was not careful.
Xiao Shu was in an indescribably dazed mood at the moment, his thoughts were complicated, and he couldn't react for a while, and when an exclamation sounded in his ears, it was too late to turn around.
The smell of lavender, the girl barely opened her eyes, it was the sleeping sister, how could she be in her arms.
"It's okay, it's going to pass. Rose whispered, reaching out to wipe the blood and dust from her face, perhaps too tired, and the girl fainted in her arms.
If it weren't for Rose catching her, the three sharp wooden thorns would have killed her, and the incident happened suddenly, when Rose woke up faintly, she just saw the scene in front of her, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she subconsciously rushed up and hugged her, and the three wooden thorns were directly pierced into her arms and legs.
"Bear with me. ”
Xiao Shu saw it clearly, stepped forward to look at the wound on Rose's leg, and the Red Leaf Sword gently cut off the wooden thorns, pulling them out one by one, and the dress was immediately soaked with blood.
"Your hand...... What the hell is going on?"
"I'm fine, the spirit body, even if you don't care about it, it will recover quickly, don't ask, I'll send you to Lingwan's medical area, it's better not to delay the injuries of the two of you." Xiao Shu interrupted Rose's questioning, and he was distraught at the moment.
"I don't blame you for this at all, it's all that person's fault, and you don't need to blame yourself. ”
"Say no more, let's go. ”
If Xiao Shu is a demon who kills people without blinking, then he naturally won't take the lives of these people to heart, and if they die, they will die, but in fact, there are very few people who die under his sword, unless they are forced to do so, Xiao Shu is mostly pointed, but suddenly he has an unknown number of lives on his body.
Of course, he could blame all this on the ghost like Rose, but he felt guilty for doing so, why didn't he think earlier that his action would affect the innocent people around him?
For the first time, Xiao Shu had doubts about his choice, whether all this was right or wrong, if it was right, did these people deserve to die? If it was wrong, what should they do?
Under the blood-red sunset, only the sores and sorrows remained.
No one can give Xiao Shu an answer.
And no one can give an answer to the victims?
