A devil's self-redemption

"With your strength, do you find it difficult?" Luo Lai asked in a daze.

"I'm not the best in the world, I'm just the three major families and the city lord's mansion. Any one of these strengths can compete with the Heavenly Beggar Alliance. They also have masters at the same level as me, or even higher than me. Anxiong City It’s just a small town, what about other big cities? Haha!”

After Li Xiaoqi finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Luo Lai followed him all the way into the mansion. Everyone he met on the road smiled and greeted Li Xiaoqi. Some were called Master Qi, some were called Xiao Qi, and there were many elderly people. People call him a cheapskate.

"Why do they call you stingy?" Luo Lai asked curiously.

Li Xiaoqi raised his head and said: "I basically got them here in the first year. Money was tight that year, so they were stingy when spending money. Don't call me stingy for these guys, but I feel very proud, it just shows that they are close to me."

Luo Lai couldn't figure out why a monk with such a high level would restrain himself for the food of these ordinary people.

"Now that we've finished reading here, I'll take you to see some industries controlled by the three major families. It's very interesting." Li Xiaoqi grabbed Luo Lai's shoulders and disappeared in a flash.

As soon as Luo Lai appeared, he heard the sound of warblers and swallows, and all kinds of sweet sounds and coquettish words could be heard endlessly. Luo Lai quickly understood where this was, the fireworks were hanging off the rails!

"I'm only six years old. Is it really appropriate for you to bring me here now?" Luo Lai looked at Li Xiaoqi seriously.

Li Xiaoqi didn't care about Luo Lai's objections, and said as a teacher: "The demons have very strong desires, and often they cannot vent their desires. This kind of place becomes a place for them to vent their desires. You know the little Are there many shops in Anxiong City that only sell skin and meat? There are more than 170, and there are countless private prostitutes with their doors ajar."

"I know there are places like this for all races, isn't it surprising?" Luo Lai had seen it before, so how could he be stumped by these small scenes.

Li Xiaoqi glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said: "Then do you know where these women in the hooks come from?"

"Maybe it was bought and sold?" Luo Lai said uncertainly.

Li Xiaoqi said solemnly: "Business is just a way, more of it is plundered from other cities."

Luo Lai was silent for a while. He couldn't express his opinion on this matter just by listening to one side of the story.

"There are also other urban forces that come to Anxiong City and plunder some of the people out of the city. Then they return to their own cities and sell the plundered women into hook bars and the men as slaves. The younger children break their hands and feet and put them in various corners to beg." As Li Xiaoqi was talking, a room door opened wide, and a relatively strong demon walked out. He was covered in blood, his expression was ferocious, and there seemed to be traces of flesh and blood between his teeth.

He reached into his arms, took out a handful of magic crystals, threw them to the boy who came quickly, laughed and said: "It tastes good, I will come again next time." After that, he strode away.

The servant smiled flatteringly, led the other two people into the room, and lifted out a bloody demon woman from inside. At this time, the woman's breasts were gone, the teeth marks were obvious between the flesh and blood, and her lower body was a mess. There was a blood hole on her neck, and blood was still flowing out. The woman had a good face, and was probably about thirteen or fourteen years old. His appearance, but his eyes were dim at this moment, and he was obviously dead.

Luo Lai just glanced at it and then hid in the corner and vomited wildly. Cannibalism, something that even many beasts couldn't do, happened unscrupulously in front of his eyes. What's even more frightening is the numb reaction of the people around him, as if everything is normal.

"Three hundred years ago, there was no such thing, and there were not so many shitty things in various cities. I don't know when it started, unbearable things happened one after another, and the reactions of the people around me started from panic. It has become a habit, and now it is even more deliberate to encourage this kind of thing to happen. Do you think this is normal?" Li Xiaoqi's eyes were deep.

"I know this is not normal, but what can I do?" Luo Lai stopped vomiting, mainly because there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit.

"What can you do at a young age? It's just to grow up faster."

"Then what's the purpose of showing me these?"

"Among the younger generation, I haven't seen anyone like you who can think about good and evil. Originally, I wanted to find the little girl from Feite's family, but unfortunately she was stopped by Canglan Academy. Is that really him..."

"Mireya?" Li Xiaoqi said about the little girl from the Fit family, and Luolai was thinking of Mireya.

Li Xiaoqi sighed: "Hey! What a good seedling. If you don't cultivate it properly, it will be ruined. After all, there is not much time left for the demons. If you want to wait for a good seedling with good nature and qualifications, it is true. It’s not easy!”

"What's wrong with the Demons? Why do you say that the Demons' time is running out?" Luo Lai asked in confusion.

Li Xiaoqi sighed again and said, "Let's go, we can't talk about big things here." After saying that, he took Luo Lai and disappeared from here.

Luo Lai looked at Anxiong City at his feet and agreed with Dafu for the first time that Anxiong City was really small.

"Come, sit down!" Li Xiaoqi sat on a big stone, pointed to the stone next to him, and motioned for Luo Lai to sit down.

"The roots of Mount Teglas have followed your sister, which means that the entire Mount Teglas is about to collapse!"

Just as Luo Lai sat down, he heard Li Xiaoqi drop a bombshell.

"What? Collapse?" Luo Lai jumped up: "Then you still drag me to the mountain? Let's go quickly!"

The old man Li Xiaoqi was leaning against a stone wall, "Young people are frivolous! Listen clearly, I said it is about to collapse, not immediately."

But Luo Lai still looked confused. Sitting on a mountain that was about to collapse, no one would feel at ease. Li Xiaoqi ignored him and started talking to himself.

"Do you know who the demons have been fighting against, let alone the humans? I don't believe you don't know."

"It seems to be the Abyss Demon Clan, a race called Earth Rats." Laura replied.

Li Xiaoqi chuckled: "Then do you know why the half-demon is needed to charge at the forefront?"

Luo Lai lowered his head and muttered: "They say that our half-demon blood is impure, so we must act as cannon fodder."

Li Xiaoqi sneered: "Bullshit, let me tell you, it is doubtful that half of your half-demon blood, the human blood, can resist the original demonic energy in the abyss. In fact, using the human Wei Pioneer Army is the most appropriate choice, but The human race is so powerful, why would they go to war for the sake of a small demon race, not to mention that there is no benefit at all."

"Um, are the demons very small?" Luo Lai asked.

"Haha, not only is it small, compared to the human race, it is as different as a palm-sized stone compared to the entire Mount Teglas. Human beings have been multiplying for countless years, while the demons have only been around for a few thousand years. How can they compare with humans? ." After saying this, Li Xiaoqi seemed to be a little uninterested.

"There are rumors that the existence of demons is probably the result of some kind of mutation experienced by humans."

Luo Lai has his own unique insights into this: "This rumor is probably true. There is a saying called reproductive isolation, which means that two creatures of different races cannot reproduce after they are combined, but humans and demons can. It is very easy to give birth to offspring, which supports this rumor."

Li Xiaoqi stared at Luo Lai and asked after a while: "Who did you hear about reproductive isolation?"

"You don't care, I just know it anyway." Facing Li Xiaoqi, Luo Lai was not very afraid and just fought back.

"Then please tell me in detail." Li Xiaoqi was obviously very interested.

"It's very simple. Sheep and rabbits generally don't reproduce. Even if they do, they won't produce the next generation. Even if they do, they won't have the ability to reproduce. For example, mules born from horses and donkeys, you understand. ." Luo Lai gave an example directly.

"You mean that according to reproductive isolation, humans and demons are the same race?"

"It must be!" Luo Lai raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly.

Li Xiaoqi chuckled and said: "It's interesting? But how do you explain the phenomenon that the nine sons of dragons are different?"

Looking at Li Xiaoqi's naughty smile, Luo Lai said angrily: "The genes of some races are very powerful and can adapt to the different genes of each race. This is the characteristic of only a part of the race giving birth to offspring. "

Li Xiaoqi pointed his thumb at Luo Lai: "It's amazing, you little brat with no hair on your head actually knows more about having children than I do! But where did you see all this from?"

Luo Lai was already thinking of scolding you. I'm going to discuss academic issues with you, but you're acting like a hooligan to me... so he didn't answer his question.

Li Xiaoqi did not get entangled, and said with a straight face: "Let's get back to the topic. My guess is that thousands of years ago, a group of normal humans were affected by the demonic energy of the abyss and mutated. Some of them became demons, and some became demons. They became the Abyss Demon Clan, and now, the original demonic energy of the Abyss is spreading, starting in the areas outside the Abyss. If it cannot be solved in time, the demons will eventually become the Abyss Demon Clan."

Luo Lai also looked solemn, "What does that have to do with me, and what does it have to do with Mireya?"

"The original demonic energy not only changes the external form of the demons, but also gradually erodes our minds, turning the demons into mice who can only rely on instinct. Nowadays, the demons are becoming more and more weird. Because the seven emotions and six desires are magnified."

"You mean that kind emotions will curb the erosion of the original evil energy?"

"It's not containment, but effective resistance! In fact, the reason why the human race doesn't help also has another meaning. It is that the human race's emotions are well hidden and usually will not be revealed. However, if such a human being is completely contaminated by the original demonic energy, It will become extremely scary, just like the enemy in front of you compared to the enemy behind you, which one will hurt you the most?" Li Xiaoqi also gave a simple example.

Luo Lai thought for a moment and returned: "It depends on whether they are stronger than me or weaker than me!"

Li Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, "Don't play word games with me, I'm just giving you an example!"

"Go on, hehe!" Luo Lai was a little embarrassed.

"So, the demons have been suffering from the invasion of primitive demonic energy for so many years, and as time goes by, this situation will become more and more serious. If it is not solved in time, it won't take long for the demons to all become It’s a ground rat.”

"The ground rat is the product of the demon race being corroded by the original demonic energy?" Luo Lai was greatly surprised.

Li Xiaoqi changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued: "The origin of the original demons is more complicated. Some people say that the demons become like this after they are eroded by the original demonic energy early. Some people say that the human race becomes like this after being polluted by the original demonic energy. It will turn into a ground rat, no matter what, the culprit is the original demonic energy!"

"Is the original demonic energy emanating from the abyss? How did the abyss come from?" This is the most critical question.

Li Xiaoqi laughed loudly: "It's up to you to be explored in the future. Diyuan has indeed been continuously emitting primitive demonic energy. The origin is unknown!"

"Stingy guy? Why are you here? Hey! This little guy looks familiar!" A tired voice sounded.

When Luo Lai saw this person, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and was about to salute, but Li Xiaoqi interrupted: "You are an old guy. Even your juniors don't know you. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Luo Ziye looked at Luo Lai and suddenly realized for a moment: "Oh, come to think of it, whose son are you? How could you be with this stingy guy?"

Li Xiaoqi interrupted again: "I'm talking about Luo Gui, this is the junior I like, and I plan to take him as my foundation to train him. Whatever the conditions, I can do it as long as I want."

Luo Ziye glanced at Li Xiaoqi in surprise, turned around and looked at Luo Lai carefully, and said in his mouth: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what's so strange about you, that a stingy guy would take notice of him? This guy is very ambitious." He doesn't even take us old guys seriously." After saying that, he grabbed Luo Lai's little hand and started to explore it.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes flashed: "Hey! Is there really something strange about me? Isn't it just that my bones are quite heavy? How can such a person tarnish the reputation of your leader Li? I am still Take him home and take good care of him!"

Li Xiaoqi sneered: "They say that your eyesight, Luo Ziye, is not good, but you are shameless. Today I learned a lesson! This kind of eyesight... tsk tsk, it's not as clear as a dog's eyes."

"Oh? You didn't see it clearly, so tell me what else you saw?" Luo Ziye said tit for tat.

Li Xiaoqi was not angry, he just chuckled and disappeared. A faint voice came from the distance: "Hahaha, since this disciple can't harvest today, then he won't accept it."

Luo Ziye's expression was gloomy and he looked at Luo Lai with a rather unkind look: "A little brat, why are you running around when you have nothing to do?"

Luo Lai said aggrievedly: "Senior Li brought me here! Why did the ancestor come here...?"

"The roots of this mountain were taken away by little Jin girl. I don't know when this mountain started to collapse. I came to check." Luo Ziye said to Luo Jin, his expression rarely softened a lot.

"What will the ordinary people in Anxiong City do then?" Luo Lai asked worriedly.

Luo Ziye shook his head: "There is no way. If Mount Teglas is likely to collapse, just issue an early warning and ask them to move away from Anxiong City."

"Then when did this mountain start to collapse?" As soon as Luo Lai finished speaking, his feet swayed, and large boulders rolled from the top of the mountain towards Anxiong City.

Luo Ziye's expression changed drastically and he shouted softly: "Now? How could it be?"
