Chapter 30 Children Chasing Stars (4)

When the men returned from their absence, they looked at the bodies of the children and let out desperate wails.

Le Jing looked at these men and women who had lost their children in silence. He had never felt so exhausted at this moment.

Even if he has unparalleled plans and strategies to determine the country, he can't do anything about death itself.

He put down Li Mei in his arms and walked towards the leader step by step.

This indomitable middle-aged man held his son's body and cried like a lone wolf.

Le Jing bent down deeply as he cried, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise, I didn't protect them properly."

The leader shed tears and shook his head, choking and saying: "No, it's not your fault. After all, you are only one person. It's all our fault. We shouldn't leave..."

Le Jing opened his mouth to say something, but fell silent in the end. He didn't know what to say to comfort this man who had lost his son. Under the corpses of dozens of children, any language seemed so pale.

It's his fault.

He is too arrogant.

His constant smooth sailing made him overestimate his abilities and underestimate the evil of human nature.

He dreams of changing the world, but he can't even save the people around him.

He is an incompetent man.

This was the first time Keynes had seen a young man so lost.

He shouldn't be like this. He should always be bright, always determined, always calm, always high-spirited.

He looked down at the little corpses without any emotion in his heart. He had killed more people than this and seen more corpses than this.

To him, death was not something to be sad about.

But Le Jing was very sad, so an unknown emotion began to fill his heart, sour and astringent, as if he had swallowed a lemon raw. He didn't care what the emotion was, he just wanted to make Le Jing happy, and he could do anything for that.

So he walked up to Le Jing and asked him: "Do you want them to come back to life?"

The young man suddenly raised his head, his eyes were astonishingly bright. He grabbed Keynes's arm forcefully and asked quickly: "You can save them, right?"

Keynes nodded and replied: "Yes, I can. I am half elf and can use life magic to resurrect them."

Victor looked at the half-elf in shock.

Life magic is the top magic that can only be cast by the Elf King's lineage! This half-elf actually has the royal blood of the elves! The members of the elven royal family, who have always been arrogant and noble and only intermarryed among themselves, actually merged with humans and left a bloodline! Moreover, their child Cairns not only failed to inherit the elves’ love for life, but instead became a murderer with a prolific pace!

Interesting, so much fun! Victor stared at the expressionless Keynes with interest, becoming more and more curious about his past.

"Please, please save them." Le Jing begged with red eyes: "If there is a price to pay, I will pay it."

Keynes shook his head: "It doesn't cost anything, this is my racial talent."

It's just that he has never successfully used it before. Because the prerequisite for using life magic is that the user must have compassion for life. Keynes felt that if it were now, he would definitely succeed.

A faint white light emitted from Keynes, covering the children's bodies bit by bit. The blood-soaked corpse thus gained a hint of holiness and warmth.

Then the wound healed, the pale face gradually turned rosy, and the eyes on the ground opened again, filled with vitality. The parents, who were crying bitterly, were stunned to see this miraculous scene.

The dead king returns to earth, and the stars return to heaven.

Only through the horror of despair can the preciousness of hope be realized.

For the first time in his life, Le Jing felt what redemption meant.

Men and women held their resurrected children and cried loudly, as if they wanted to drain a lifetime of tears.

It was a hard-won reunion, so they didn't notice Le Jing and Keynes leaving.

"Keynes." The young man stood at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the dark sky, his eyes darker than the sky. "I'm sorry, can you go back to your old business this time?"

The tall young man stood firmly beside him and answered without hesitation: "I listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

The young man twitched his lips and showed an emotionless smile, his eyes faintly igniting the black flames of revenge.

"Let's go to their base."

Following the route Shitou told them before he died, Lejing and the others stopped at the entrance of a cave several kilometers away.

No wonder they would find the human base where Le Jing is located. It is true that the new base where the newly moved cult is stationed is too close to Lejing and the others.

From the cave came the sounds of men laughing and having fun, women begging for mercy, and the sounds of children crying and screaming.

Le Jing was not too surprised.

Those cult members can no longer be considered human beings. They are a bunch of irrational beasts. Le Jing never has any unnecessary sympathy for "non-human" existences.

Le Jing walked into the cave and looked at the human demons inside who indulged in singing and animality with disgust. He said calmly to Keynes: "Kill all the members of the Truth Cult and leave no one alive. Try not to hurt the women and girls here. child."

It was a one-sided massacre.

When these villains brought the butcher knife to their victims' heads, they probably never thought that they would die one day.

These villains enjoy the fear of their victims until they, too, become lambs on chopping boards, and then they learn to fear.

Those who take the lives of others will eventually have their lives taken away by others.

Le Jing watched this scene intently and seriously, as if he was watching the best movie in the world.

Where is the world full of flowers? He doesn't know.

He only knows that only by getting rid of some pests can the flowers grow better.

"Don't kill him!"

A woman covered in wounds firmly protected a frightened man crying bitterly behind her: "He is my man, please don't kill him!"

Because of Le Jing's previous explanation, Keynes stopped and looked at Le Jing hesitantly.

Le Jing walked to the woman, squatted down, held up her scarred face, and asked gently: "Is he good to you?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded fiercely, and said against her will: "He is very good to me!" She cried and hugged Le Jing's legs and begged: "Please let him go! We can't live without our child. Father! How can we, an orphan and a widowed mother, live without a man in this world?"

"Oh?" Le Jing chuckled and said to the woman in a soft voice: "Let me go first. If we have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."

The woman was confused by the young man's gentle attitude, and slowly let go of her hand. She saw the young man take a step back, his smile as cold as ice: "Keynes, kill that man."

The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, and when she turned her head, she was splashed with blood from the artery cut in the man's neck.

The young man's clear voice echoed in her ears: "Your child can't live without a father? But your husband has made countless parents without children, and countless children without parents. Some of them are younger than your son."

The woman held her husband's body and cried loudly, as if she had lost her soul in pain.

She was so thoroughly tamed by her cruel husband that she dedicated herself to her husband. Now that her husband is dead, her self has also disappeared.

Le Jing ignored the woman and said to the women and children in the cave: "You are free. From now on, you can go wherever you want."

The tortured women and children were stunned. They spent every day struggling in purgatory, trying their best just to stay alive. What is happening now is undoubtedly a scene they can only see in their dreams.

Ten seconds later, a white-haired woman first pounced on the crying woman holding the body and bit her neck hard.

"Hahaha, retribution! This is retribution!" The white-haired woman swallowed the blood in her mouth and laughed hysterically, "Your husband is dead, let's see how you can still be so mean and ruin us!"

The white-haired woman's actions were like a fuse, completely igniting the anger of others.

So, the second woman pounced on her, the third woman pounced on her, the fourth woman pounced on her... and finally even the children pounced on her.

"You accomplice!"

"You killed my mother, you bitch! Bitch!"

"You dog! Disgusting dog! Why don't you go to hell!"

Le Jing walked out of the cave and left the place to these avengers.

The place behind you is entangled with the most twisted, disgusting, and filthy human nature.

An inhumane atrocity was taking place there.

But Le Jing was not qualified to stop it. In this lawless place, revenge is the right given to the victim by axiomatic morality. He has completed his revenge, and now it is time for their revenge.

Le Jing looked up at the dark sky and suddenly remembered Nietzsche's words: Those who fight the devil should be careful not to become the devil. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.

Just like Yagami Yue in "**". His original wish was just to punish the evil in the world. But he lost himself in the power and eventually became another more evil devil, bringing more evil to the world.

Le Jing looked back at the half-elf behind him and said solemnly: "Keynes, can you promise me something?"

Keynes didn't ask what it was about, and nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

The young man smiled because of this trust, and his eyes finally dispelled the haze and became clear again: "Become the Sword of Damocles hanging above my head."

"If one day I become a disoriented devil, just kill me."
