Fury Ocean - Chapter 318

“No longer selfish?”

Xiong Wugong grinned, his expression looked a little weird: “Okay, I’ll cooperate with you. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, the shore is turned back, forget the hatred, and realize it … this is what you said, Niu Ben did not do? “

“The description is wrong.” The old man on the screen smiled and said, “Your nickname has the word” monk “, but I am not persuading you to be a monk, and a monk cannot save the world.”

“I’m waiting for you to explain.” Xiong Wugong sneered.

The old man said, “This is not something you can do in a conversation or two. At the moment I just need you to answer a few questions and think about something.”

“You said.”

“First, among the people you killed, were there innocent people like your wife and children. Women and children, honest people, the sick, etc., because your task was implicated and killed by you. “

“Yes.” Xiong Wugong said without hesitation. “Is anyone going to get revenge? Just come to me.”

“Not everyone knows as many killing skills as you do,” the old man said lightly. “They are as helpless as you are now when it comes to killing loved ones.”

“That’s …” I wanted to say that they deserved it, Xiong Wugong stopped when he said it, and finally just hummed.

The old man looked at him and said, “The second question is still the question just now, but the time has changed. How will you answer when your wife and children are alive?”

“I …” Xiong Wugong faltered, his voice was lowered unknowingly: “They are dead.”

“Yeah, they’re dead, you have no concerns, no hope. So you don’t care if someone finds revenge. But that’s not my question. What I ask is, how would you answer when they were alive? Or you could add another sentence ,What would you do?”

Xiong Wugong could not answer. For so many years, he lived as carefully as a fugitive in Tianmen, daring not to show his ability, and swallowed his voice when he encountered conflict. The reason is actually very simple, afraid of being known to be here, attracting revenge, and people who want to die for other reasons.

Now things have changed, his abilities have been released, but he has lost his goal.

Confused, the old man asked again: “The third question is still an extension of the question just now. Among the people who want your life, not everyone can do it. If they come and kill you What do you do with your wife and children? “

“I …” Xiong Wugong opened his mouth, still unable to respond.

“Fourth question: Do you want your wife and children alive?”

“Crap!” Xiong Wugong almost jumped up, his eyes suddenly brightened. “Can you make them …”

Realizing the mistake before speaking, Xiong Wugong sat back to his original position.

“Impossible. This is simply impossible.”

“Of course it is impossible. I am not a fairy and I cannot raise the dead.”

The old man didn’t care about Xiong Wugong’s mood at all. Instead, he shattered the last hint of fantasy in his heart with a decisive tone, “Your wife and children are dead, and no one can change it.”

“Are you here to strike me?” Xiong Wugong’s eyes gradually turned red and he asked with a tilted head. “Why do you say this?”

“I just want to tell you that their death is related to you, and it is not necessarily a good thing to live.”

“What did you say ?!” Xiong Wugong jumped, hissing and roaring, “You say it again?”

“It’s okay to say a hundred times.” The old man looked faint: “If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t necessarily die. Because of you, they were scared when they were alive. Don’t forget that your wife knows a lot about your past, isn’t it? She does n’t worry about someone coming? Does n’t she worry about you, do n’t worry about her children? And your children, yes, they are still very young, and you and your wife have n’t mentioned anything to them before. But do n’t forget, you They often tell them to pay attention to strangers, and their levels and methods are different from other parents. You are not allowed to make friends casually, and you are not allowed to stay outside, even the home of the most familiar people. You are not even allowed to be too good, for fear it will lead to People pay attention and bring disasters. You also teach them how to respond to emergencies, and those emergency situations are completely different from ordinary people. You know the consequences of doing this when you grow up and understand the truth You will have doubts later, and you may also reveal your identity … but you have no way, you are afraid every day, your wife is more afraid, so the Lord Ask you to teach them. “

Hearing here, Xiong Wugong is about to be defeated. On the one hand, he was surprised by the ability of the Dragon Gate. On the other hand, since the other party can achieve this level, it actually means that his hidden plan has completely failed.

Just go to Longmen or a similar place to submit a commission and spend a little money. Those who want to die by themselves can easily find themselves.

It hasn’t happened in so many years, I don’t know if it was because of luck.

Thinking wildly here, the old man on the screen continued: “Imagine how tired your wife should be when he is alive, how much complaints your child has, now it ’s okay, when they grow up and have their own ideas, they You will feel the depression. That ’s why I said that living is not necessarily happiness, and death is not necessarily a bad thing. It ’s not a bad thing, but it ’s a true fact. ”

“enough!”

Xiong Wugong shouted again, his voice was desperate: “Are you trying to say that I should hate myself most, I should avenge myself?”

“of course not.”

The old man waved his hand gently and said, “Don’t worry, there is a fifth question: why did you become a mercenary?”

“… Why do you ask this?” Xiong Wugong looked confused.

“It’s the root cause.” The old man’s expression became serious: “Imagine if you weren’t a mercenary, didn’t kill so many people, didn’t have so many enemies. Wouldn’t all this happen today?”

“Uh……”

Xiong Wugong tilted his head, and Blessing grabbed his sleeve, and somehow found a copyboard, and used his fingers to draw the handwriting on it.

“That way you won’t meet this wife and have no children.”

Huh!

Xiong Wugong took a deep breath and woke up like a dream.

He began to weigh in his heart, which fate he was more willing to accept.

As Defu said, the old man on the screen is an intelligent program, and the operator who is far away from the sky can’t see it, and continues to speak.

“Unwilling to answer? It doesn’t matter, I know your experience. At that time, you had to be a mercenary, at least you think so. What I want to tell you is that in the final analysis …”

“In this world.” Xiong Wugong responded suddenly.

“Huh?” The opposite person didn’t expect this, and paused for a moment: “I have better understanding than I thought. That’s right, it’s the world that made you today, and therefore bears the present results. Including this war, you The root cause of the direct death of his wife and children is the same. “

“That’s why you made me stand high.” Xiong Wugong asked. After entering the back room, his eyes penetrated the old man on the screen for the first time, and he realized the reality of talking with “people”.

The opposite person replied, “Only when you look away and you can see the essence.”

Xiong Wugong asked: “Does that mean that I should avenge the world and be an anti-human?”

“Of course not.” The person opposite denied flatly: “Think of the second requirement.”

“No longer selfish.” Xiong Wugong quietly sighed.

“That’s right.” The other person responded, but didn’t know why, and didn’t talk about it as much as before.

“He is skeptical of you.” With Fu Lala Xiong Wugong’s sleeve, his left hand drew on the copyboard.

“Ok.”

Xiong Wugong nodded to understand, and then asked: “I’m guessing, you are a behind-the-scenes organization, with the ultimate goal of building a perfect world, so you recruit all kinds of people. Is that right?”

“It’s not wrong to understand this. But …”

Through the voice, it was obvious that the other party was becoming cautious. Xiong Wugong didn’t care, and then asked, “Did Niu Ben join? Did he let me come, did he perform his duties as an introducer?”

“Niu Ben is not up to the mark. But I believe he will eventually join.”

The opposite person did not answer the second question, Xiong Wugong asked again.

“Which step did Niuben do? Also because of lust?”

“Principle. He can’t let go of some principles.” The person opposite answered: “For you, these are not important. You have the ability and understanding, but you haven’t reached that point yet.”

“I see.” Xiong Wugong didn’t delve deeper. “Excuse me, how do I save the world after all the conditions are met?”

The opposite person replied: “I said that one or two conversations won’t solve your problem. What you have to do now is to look far away and want to be current.”

“What should I do now?” Xiong Wugong asked.

“Do what you want to do.” Ambiguous response.

“Do you want to do anything?”

“of course.”

“Is it okay to kill?”

“can.”

Xiong Wugong’s response was not surprised by the person opposite, including the irony implicit in the discourse, and he didn’t care.

“I know that you still have the hatred of your wife and children in your heart, and you need to vent it to see further. Don’t worry, although you have not passed the test, let alone join, but when you walk out of this room, you are already carrying some These missions. “

“With these missions, everything I do, including killing people, will become sacred and sublime,” Xiong Wugong said.

“Exactly.” The other person answered with an affirmative affirmation.

…

…

Tianmen City’s two main streets, Ping’an Street and Taiping Road intersect. Taiping Road is the place where the main decree is issued. Ping’an Street is a commercial center. The two are comparable to the heart and lungs and form the pillars of Tianmen City.

Peace, peace, or the voice of people living in a place of protracted war. Regrettably, since Penglai has suffered many calamities since ancient times, Tianmen is a must-have place. Although these two streets can maintain their prosperity, they will never be worthy of the name.

The prince is now headed by the Ji Peng Empire and the prince is here. The banquet will be held tomorrow night. As a safety measure, martial arts martial arts patrols were carried out on the main section of the military road, centered on Wudelou. The bustling streets of the past were suddenly empty.

In sharp contrast, the flow of people around Ping’an Street has increased sharply, and people in familiar clubs, bars, tea houses and even streets and streets gathered together, and most of what was discussed was related to tomorrow’s banquet.

Forgotten Tea House, Tianmen has a long-established reputation and has a history of more than 100 years. Although the location is on the main street, it is different from the bustling and noisy elsewhere. The facilities in the teahouse are old but tidy. Except for the side facing the street, the internal tables, chairs, doors and windows are almost antiquities, and square tables and bars are still in the hall The surface of the bench has been peeled off, like the face of an old man.

Drinking tea here not only smells of tea, but also feels nostalgic. Here, time seems to be back to decades ago. The uneven ground is the traces of previous steps, putting the tea bowl back on the table, repeating the way of the ancestors, and realizing the meaning of inheritance and the value of reproduction. .

The small tea house contains extremely solemn things, no matter how much annoyance people feel in it, they will become peaceful without knowing it.

For the convenience of customers, there are private boxes inside the teahouse, and the bare walls are extremely thick and hardly decorated. The rest is also very simple, nothing more than a table, chair, tea set, and you don’t see anything extra.

“Here, the biggest benefit is peace of mind.”

Holding up the tea bowl, the young man opposite Hong Xiping motioned to him: “How do you feel?”

“Very good,” Niu Bencheng said earnestly, “tea is also good.”

Hong Xiping said quietly: “The ancestral property of the Hong family. My nephew, Yan Ping, is the master now, and his grandfather is actually the master. The 80- or 90-year-old guy is neither willing to let go nor letting go, especially he is not allowed to rebuild and change Tea set is not good. Grandpa and son often carry this for me, and they come to me several times. “

He laughed as he said, “At that time, I was the commander of the city defense. I was guarding one side of the soil. No matter who mentioned Tianmen, I had to leave a place for me. People have me in their hearts, not to mention relatives. Whenever something happens at home, he will always come to me to preside over justice or comment on it. “He sighed and said,” Sometimes I feel that I am more proficient at doing these things than directing war. “

On the opposite side, Niu Ben quietly listened to him, without intervening or urging, but listening in silence, sometimes nodding gently.

“The war broke out, and the empire came into the heavenly gate. I am still the commander, but everyone around me has changed. Ordinary people have scolded me, and some people threatened me even to kill me. Some relatives ran away, and those who stayed did not come to me. Even the children started to hate me and resist me. Only here, the Yanping family still treats me like the family of the Hong family, even if the business of the teahouse is greatly affected. Then I suddenly understand … “

After stopping here, Hong Xiping waved with ridicule: “The parents are short and say something useless. The teacher is a person who does big things, and laughed.”

“Everywhere is difficult, everyone has choices.” Niu Ben thought for a while, adding: “real life, I like to listen.”

“… like to listen …”

Hong Xiping leaned back and slowly leaned on the back of the chair: “There was a time when the teahouse was about to open. Well, the teacher may know when it is.”

“During the flood,” Niu Ben said softly.

“Three feet on a flat ground, not retreating for several months, corpses can often be seen in the water, some are found late, they are soaked white, and swell up like a fat pig. Touch it with your hand, bang! Internal organs, tapeworms, and feces are everywhere. “

Hong Xiping closed his eyes, as if reminiscing and escaping.

“Teacher, have you ever seen such a scene?”

Niu Ben shook his head.

“I think so.” Hong Xiping sighed. “I have fought for a lifetime and my record is not comparable to that of the teacher seat. I should have seen more dead people. But I have never seen that kind of horror and I have never been so scared. . “

Niu Ben no longer spoke, just listening silently.

Hong Xiping said slowly: “Water! There is water everywhere, but you can’t drink it. Without clean water, the teahouse will naturally fail to open. The old undead uncle came to me and I said to him when I was thinking Teahouse, it’s not bad to be alive. You guess what he said? “

“I don’t know.” Niu Ben responded gently.

“He said that the tea house is as important as human life. Even if it cannot be opened, it must be protected from being flooded. I was so burned every day that I could n’t get angry after hearing it, and he called him old and confused. Plus some tableware, it ’s no big deal to rebuild, and you can buy it again if you lose it. How can it be compared with human life? He called me narrow-minded and short-sighted. The memory of the teahouse is our connection with our ancestors. In the future, we and our children and grandchildren. He also said that forgetting ancestors is no root, without these, people are like popping out of the cracks of stones, and animals are not as good. “

After speaking in one breath, Hong Xiping was silent, and opened his eyes a moment later, “Think now, these words seem to make some sense. What does the teacher think?”

The question was abrupt, but Niu Ben seemed prepared, and responded without much thought: “The old man’s persistence is worthy of respect.”

“What else?”

“At the time, there was nothing more desirable.”

“Nothing more to do?” Hong Xiping smiled, but his eyes grew sharper: “What does the meaning of a teacher mean, life is more important?”

“Of course.” Niu Ben nodded: “Life is priceless. The meaning of life lies in creation, which can be generated while alive, and last more memories.”

Hong Xiping listened to these words carefully, “The lecturer’s explanation of the meaning of life is admirable. But you … a million people become ghosts between raising your hands, and somehow similar to this tea house become ruins.”

He sat up from his chair, leaning forward to stare at Niuben’s eyes, and a depressed voice forced him.

“Is it a bit hypocritical to say such things now?”

Niu Ben didn’t immediately respond this time. He looked at Hong Xiping. The two eyes crossed, looking for weakness in each other’s face and eyes.

The results failed.

“Jerusalem is well-deserved.”

The flood last year was initially thought to be the result of the army god. Until this year, some internal information leaked slowly, and people began to know that Niuben was the originator. He did not have such a strong qualification as the God of War, and was greatly accused of being scolded, hated, and even hatred, and received some nicknames.

Iron man is just one of them. Iron man is not a compliment. Human demon is naked hatred. The combination of the two is considered to be an objective evaluation.

Hong Xiping knew that he was neither iron-blooded nor demons, and he had a moderate ability to defeat the opponent. He quietly retracted the hostility in his eyes, and his expression became sad and indignant: “This is the center of Tianmen City, and the seat is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of dead souls. There is no fear in the heart? Some days after the teacher entered the city, what I saw was painful. In case of a flood, in the face of them, you will not feel a little bit guilty? “

Niu Ben thought for a while and replied, “I said no, do you believe it?”

“I don’t believe it!” Hong Xiping said flatly, “Even the devil born …”

Niuben interrupted him and asked, “So I said yes, are you satisfied?”

“…”

Hong Xiping opened his mouth and couldn’t say anything.

The two confronted again, their eyes were not as intense as before, but their breath was more depressed.

For a long time, Hong Xiping closed his eyes slowly, and admitted helplessly that there was no matter whether he was a demon or a person, and his will was undoubtedly stronger than himself.

“In exchange for sacrifice for time, a legend has been created, as the so-called one will be done. Hehe! I think … I just want to ask on behalf of everyone, what is the gate of heaven? Why should we make it? sacrifice?”

“Because this is the federal portal, because the war starts here, because … I understand, but I can’t understand it, I can’t accept it.”

“The division stands tall and far-reaching, and is broad-minded and broad-minded like a **** of war. It will not be confined to the heavens and gates. With these principles, the division is calm and feels that it is neither necessary nor disdainful to explain to me this defeat.

Mocking sometimes means giving up, Hong Xiping’s expression is stunned, his face is more aging than before.

He carefully prepared for the meeting, fighting it as a battle, even the most important battle of his life. However, in the contest, I felt a complete defeat in a short time, and even the most basic goals were not achieved.

Is this person’s heart cast iron?

Is it, as rumored, that he is actually a secret weapon developed by the Commonwealth, a robot, and does not have human emotions at all?

Maybe he was really a demon head, just covered with a layer of human skin.

When thinking wildly, Niu Ben whispered in the opposite side: “No matter how many, the best explanation is just self-defense, do you want me to get understanding through self-defense, no longer hate me?”

“Because I want to hear! I want to hear yourself!”

Hong Xiping was infuriated. Hong Xiping said angrily: “It’s not just me. Everyone who lives on the Hanjiang Plain wants to listen to the teacher to explain the reason for doing so. Forgiveness is the last word, so is resentment. Seat, hundreds of thousands of lives, is it not worthy of your explanation? “

Niu Ben was silent. He looked at Hong Xiping and realized his grief and helplessness. The inner waves were turbulent and it was difficult to calm for a long time.

Hong Xiping didn’t know Niuben very well, and he had too little contact. He would never know what Niuben was experiencing at the moment, and what kind of squall came from the calm face.

Control expressions, everyone can do it, deep minded people are better at it, but when the inner fluctuations are too large, anyone will inevitably lose their state of control or even lose control. This is not the case for Niuben, not only because of the will, but also because of unique weapons.

Using true energy to solidify facial expressions is something Hong Xiping can’t imagine. Niuben was able to achieve Tarzan’s collapse without changing his spirit, because now he was almost paralyzed until he changed the environment and released control.

As an adviser and executor of flood release, Niu Ben knew best about the consequences of doing so. He should have thought about it, and he should have prepared it before, to bear and bear it, to be calm or to endure, and to test his will and state of mind.

He once thought that he was sufficiently prepared to at least be calm, but when facing Hong Xiping and facing simple anger demands, his heart could not be calm after all.

What happened, what’s the use of explanation?

Hong Xiping would not understand this, but he still wanted to hear an explanation. As he said, most of the flood survivors had similar ideas.

What about yourself?

Asking himself, Niu Ben felt that he probably didn’t want to hear explanations, and he didn’t want to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and responsibility, but how to plan revenge.

With this in mind, Niu Ben whispered softly: “Our president declared war on the empire in an ‘unlimited way’. After that, many imperialists who stayed in the Federation were killed, some of them, As innocent as ordinary people who died in Tianmen. Earlier this year, the empire landed in the federal territory, except where the empire filmed war propaganda videos, burned and looted, and did everything. Those who died were as innocent as the dead here. Now Orr Mums steppe, millions of troops are fighting fiercely for months, and the soldiers who die every day are as innocent as those here. Of course, there is Penglai. Now, the front line is fighting every day, and every day, villages and cities are turned to ashes in the flames of war. The dead are as innocent as the dead here. “

Hong Xiping became more and more confused and couldn’t help asking: “What do you mean by that?”

Niu Ben did not explain, and continued: “Including the imperial soldiers who died in the flood, there are also many innocent people. Finally, it includes me, the soldiers around me, the people who have encountered in the battle, the people who have killed, they Many of them are innocent. “

“I don’t want to listen to this, I just want to know …” Hong Xiping cried.

“Why put water in the digging hole in Tianchi?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Hong is not the first person to ask me this way, nor will he be the last.”

“……then?”

“What I did was only suitable for reflection at the end. I want to say a few important points to you about this.

“What is it?”

“First, breaking the embankment is part of the war. There are no innocent people in the war. People usually have only two choices, killing and being killed. Second, I will do it again, and at most delay the time. Thirdly, what I said just now is not self-defense. I hope people will think of it as a reflection on war. Fourthly, my trial, whether it be the destruction of reputation or physical destruction, hopes to remain after the war is over. “

“Judgment after the war …” Hong Xiping repeated the word, his expression was uncertain. “The teacher is telling jokes?”

Niu Ben asked, “Why do you say that?”

Hong Xiping teased slightly: “No one has said so now. With the power and determination of the division, when the war is over, either you will die as a national hero or you will have a lofty position comparable to the **** of war. By then, who would dare These two words against you? “

Niuban Dandan said: “Many people want to do this, but they lack opportunities. When the war ends, there will be more such people and opportunities will appear. Repeat, who wants to do this, I hope he can wait until the outcome of the war. “

“This is your explanation? Is it for the Tianmen people?”

“It’s not an explanation. These words are only for you.”

“why?”

“I want to spread these words through you so that those who want revenge don’t hurry to find me.” “Why? Are you afraid?”

“No. I just don’t want them to die.”

Hong Xiping was faint at heart, and asked, “What if you do this?”

“Kill him, or them.” Niu Ben answered without hesitation.

…

…
