Judgment

Xu Ru is not dead, of course, so is Liu Xiaoyue.

Last night, Xu Ru suddenly appeared in Liu Xiaoyue's room, waking her up from the nightmare that bound her to death.This morning, we did everything we could, and together we staged a farce in which innocent souls risk their lives.

However, all of this was planned by the scavengers early on.As early as when Xu Ru was not dead after being attacked, they let Xu Ru fake death, and planned everything after that, just to force Pei Feifei to have a mental breakdown.

Who would have thought that Xu Ru, who looked like an ordinary girl, would be a spy of the red team of the demon squad?

Liu Xiaoyue walked out of the room and let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that I would be so good at acting one day. I didn't expect that not only did you not die, but you were also a secret member of the Ministry of National Security!"

A member of the Ministry of National Security is Xu Ru's external identity.

Xu Ru wiped off the ketchup on her body, and smiled at her: "You cooperated very well. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to find out the real mastermind so quickly."

"Then are you going to the imperial capital to investigate that person? What will you do if you find out?" Liu Xiaoyue asked curiously.

Xu Ru looked at the north, "After you find them, you should clear them all up."

Monsters that seduce people's hearts and tease humans should completely disappear from this world.

"team leader!"

The two chatted outside the room for a while, when a stern man came not far away, Xu Ru suddenly got up and saluted, and said, "I've already found out the clue."

The captain of the red team nodded, "Where's Pei Feifei?"

"She's still inside, feeling a little unstable."

"You left her inside alone?" The captain immediately frowned, looking at Xu Ru with a trace of reproach.

"But this is our territory, no one should be able to take her away..." Xu Ru explained.

"There will be no one! But there will be monsters!" The red team leader shouted angrily, and hastily opened the door.

Inside the house, Pei Feifei was lying on the bed intact.

Xu Ru breathed a sigh of relief just now, but the captain stepped past her and strode to Pei Feifei.He stretched out his hand to check her breath, and after a while, he punched the mattress hard!

"brute!"

Xu Ru felt a chill in her heart, "Captain! Could it be..."

"Preempted by the monsters."

The captain of the red team looked at Pei Feifei's body, which was already silent on the bed.

"Her soul was devoured."

Liu Xiaoyue outside the door covered her mouth with an exclamation, while Xu Ru clenched her fists secretly. "Is it the monster that tempted her to fall?"

"No." The captain shook his head, "If it was it, it wouldn't wait until we asked Pei Feifei to find her whereabouts."

"Who would that be?"

"...Do you remember that Pei Feifei went out to meet unknown people in the first few days?" the captain asked, "At that time, none of the people we sent out to track came back. It is likely that the person who met Pei Feifei that day The person Feifei met, no, it was the hands of a monster."

"For Pei Feifei, how many monsters interfere?" Xu Ru gritted her teeth, "Do they really want human souls that much?"

"There are many conflicts of interests between monsters." The captain looked at Xu Ru, "Pei Feifei is just a victim of their struggle."

"Are we just toys for those devils to bully and tease! Manipulate people's souls at will, and treat our love and hatred as a joke. With just one finger, countless people can die because of them! They are distorted and lured by them, have they ever thought that we also have hearts and souls! Not dolls that we play with intentionally and randomly!”

Xu Ru said so many words in one breath, Liu Xiaoyue outside the door was startled by her.She never thought that Xu Ru, who had always been calm before, was suppressing so many emotions in her heart.

She used to think that Xu Ru would be dismissive of Pei Feifei.But it was only now that Liu Xiaoyue realized that perhaps those indifference and ignorance were not because Xu Ru hated Pei Feifei, but because she could see the end of Pei Feifei's tragedy more clearly, out of the deepest pity in her heart.

Because of pity, she didn't want to see Pei Feifei immersed in her own world and finally walking towards death.

The captain looked at the somewhat hysterical Xu Ru, and after a long time, he said, "Do you know why the demon squad has always been unwilling to rescue the tempted people?"

"It's not because there is no way, nor is it because there is no ability, but because it is unnecessary."

Xu Ru paused. She was not ignorant of the indifference of the demon squad to the bait, but she still couldn't understand it, and even complained faintly.And what the captain said today seems to have seen through the indecision in her heart.

"Monsters like the evil in people's hearts, and like to lure human beings to degenerate. Human beings lured to degeneration by monsters are potential threats to society. Even if there are no monsters, these people will break out one day and endanger the people around them. So Saying that is not to excuse the monsters.”

The captain said: "I just want to tell you, whether it is the monster that lures humans to degenerate, or the humans that are tempted. They all contribute to each other, and the absence of either party is not enough to threaten. But in the end, it is the greedy monster that should be blamed. Whether we should hate our cowardly countrymen is not a question we can figure out."

"What our demon squad should do is to do everything we can to get rid of these monsters that threaten humans, not out of our own selfishness, but to allow all humans to survive. Do you understand?"

"But, captain, are humans really so weak compared to monsters? They can only be played by them passively?"

"Weak?" The captain sneered, "Monsters take pleasure in teasing humans, they are greedy for the dark emotions of humans, but they never dare to touch the good side of humans. Do you know why?"

Xu Ru shook her head.

"Because they're scared."

The captain said slowly: "The reason why monsters are so powerful is because they are heartless and emotionless. They feed on human emotions, but they never touch positive emotions because they dare not."

"Don't you dare?"

"Whether it is human beings or monsters, we all know that the most swaying heart in this world is not hatred or hatred, but love. Parents' love, friends' love, lover's love, selfless love. These are salvation for us , but it is poison to monsters. They dare not touch it, because they are afraid that they will become like humans after touching it."

The captain sneered: "Human beings are weak? Then dare not touch monsters with half emotions, they are more cowardly than humans. At least human beings are fragile because we have love and hate, while monsters dare not touch these things. .”

"It's actually very simple to break them. As long as the monsters understand love and hate, they will naturally be vulnerable."

Xu Ru was thoughtful, "Captain, you said that monsters are afraid to touch the positive emotions of humans because they dare not. Then is there such a monster that is not afraid of human emotions, and can even understand human emotions?"

"How is it possible, that kind of monster is not a monster." The captain said: "Only humans can understand human love."

"Ah!"

Wang Chen sneezed fiercely, and William, who was sitting beside him, quickly handed over a piece of clothing.

"Your Highness, please pay attention to your body."

"Strange? I have a cold." Touching his nose in disbelief, Wang Chen said, "Could it be because I've eaten a lot of messy things recently?"

William nodded and said, "Your Highness, I have already said that apart from the negative emotions of human beings, you'd better eat less other unknown objects."

The monster steward counted with his fingers, "On the way, you have eaten the despair of a couple who are about to jump off a building to die in love; the pain of an old human who sells sweet potatoes on the street; Joy, and this morning, the anger and sadness of a child who fell and broke his skin."

"You are already able to evaluate the top ten heroes of human beings for their righteousness and bravery, Your Highness."

"..." Wang Chen ignored William's sarcasm and just closed his eyes in his seat.

They are now on their way to the imperial capital. In order not to be known by any demons, they specially chose the human travel method.

After a while, the young Highness muttered: "I just want to increase my own strength before meeting Ji Xuan..."

William taught: "Then you shouldn't be satisfied with nibbling these weak emotions, but devouring the fallen soul of mankind." He looked at Wang Chen with unpredictable eyes.

"As a candidate, you have only devoured two human souls so far. Your Highness, you really don't look like a monster."

Wang Chen paused for breath, then turned to look at William, "I don't look like a monster, so what do you think I look like?"

William stared at those black eyes, obviously without a sense of oppression, but it made Wang Chen feel as if he had seen through him.After a long time, the monster steward turned his eyes away and said, "You still need to grow up, Your Highness."

Wang Chen didn't agree, and just asked, "William, since what happened to Pei Feifei, I've been thinking about one thing."

"What is it?"

"Could this world we live in be just a dream? Then, as long as one day wakes up from the dream, the world in the dream will collapse and cease to exist." Wang Chen said with a smile: "And in There are always some special things in this dream. For example, for humans, monsters are their nightmares, luring them into the abyss. But for us, what is a nightmare?"

"You think too much, Your Highness." William said, "Monsters have no fear."

Hearing what he said, Wang Chen stopped talking.Just tilting his head and closing his eyes, he remembered Pei Feifei's expression when he left the hotel that morning. He thought he had everything under control, but he didn't know that he was stepping into the abyss.Are monsters in a situation similar to hers?

Whether it is human beings struggling to survive, playing various expressions, and treating each other with hypocrisy; or starting this trial, examining and examining human monsters in various names; they are all just characters in this dream, and one day Waking up is over, who is the final winner?

The young candidate closed his eyes and fell asleep.I look forward to the day when I wake up from the dream.

Last quote:

The funerals of Chen Xiaoqi, Sun Jiahui, and Pei Feifei were held on the same day.

In addition to their relatives and friends, there were also many classmates from the university. Unexpectedly, the most people came to pay tribute to Pei Feifei.

Almost all of those ordinary classmates who had a good relationship with her on weekdays, or who had only spoken a word or two, came to pay her respects and comfort Pei Feifei's parents who had grown gray overnight.

Liu Xiaoyue silently sent a bouquet of flowers and walked back to Xu Ru.

"Who knew that the one who was sacrificed by so many people was the culprit of this incident?"

Xu Ru replied, "No one will know."

After a long time, she said another sentence. "Pei Feifei won't know either."

"kindness?"

Seeing those classmates who sent bouquets to Pei Feifei, Xu Ru said, "She will never know that the mask she hates deeply is actually liked by many people."

Pei Feifei chose true revenge in the end, and ended up ruining her own life.But the flattering smile she hated was exchanged for bouquets of flowers and sincere condolences in front of the coffin at this moment.Is this her sorrow, or someone else's sorrow?

Or, once a mask is worn for a long time, it is no longer a mask.There has never been no sincerity in those smiles that are shown to people.

What do you say, Pei Feifei?

The wind blows the flowers.

No one answered.
