Change your destiny from becoming a villain

"bishop."

In a certain natural cave, Shugen quietly stared at the burning candle on the table in front of him, his gray eyes filled with indifference.

"I know what you want to say." He said slowly, without looking at the people kneeling behind him. "I have already seen part of their memories before they died."

"So are the rumors true?"

"Rumor? I've said from the very beginning that that guy actually exists." Shugen slowly stretched out his hand, and a white mouse with pure white fur ran out from his cuff to the desk in front of him, rubbing it affectionately. Rubbing his fingertips, "The undead ghost king who has ruled the world for 600 years, the source of our strength."

"It is also the 'old enemy' we must fight against."

"Bishop, I still don't understand what you mean." An emissary whispered: "If he is our old enemy, we must at least have the power to match him. But according to your previous description... ours None of the messengers was his match."

"That's because you are too anxious." Shugen teased the white mouse on the table with his index finger, and said in an unhurried tone, "Do you know how mice live?"

"How do mice... live?" Several messengers looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable aggrieved feeling in their hearts. "Are you saying that we are actually the same as mice?"

"Of course." Ratroot turned around at this moment, revealing his face in the light of the candle.

He looks very ordinary, just like the passers-by you often meet on the street.

After the first sight, he will quietly disappear from your memory, and there are not many traces to be found again.

But who would have thought that he was a certain sect in the shadow of the Warring States Period... no, to be precise, he was the leader of a certain "organization".

"In order to avoid natural enemies and human interference, mice mostly move at night and in dark places, and the main habitats vary according to their habits and races."

"Their life is 'hiding', 'escaping' and 'reproducing', day after day for food and avoiding danger, and silently ends after the short lifespan is consumed."

"It's really a boring life to say, but that's how mice live."

"It's also how we live."

"But this..."

"It's too aggrieved, too painful and too sad, isn't it?" Shugen interrupted the emissary who couldn't help but want to refute, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, this is indeed a very painful way of living."

"Even if it becomes like this, we still live the same as before with the power beyond human beings, so I didn't stop you."

"Both Sanjiro and Murata are guys who can't hold back their temper. One kills recklessly, the other hides himself cautiously and timidly, and you have seen their end." Shugen shrugged, "They are all dead. .”

"One was scalded to death, and the other was hacked to death, just like an ant in a child's hand."

"Then will we be like this forever?" Another messenger said, "Even if we become messengers now, nothing will change, bishop."

"Aren't you living well enough?" Shugen looked at him in surprise, as if he had known him for the first time, "Our lives were precarious before, but now we have paid a lot for this, but we still live Great."

"Didn't you kill the group of warriors you wanted to kill? Didn't you enjoy the sweetness of your power? Now you freely control the life and death of people like you before, want to eat them, want to play They play with them, what else do you want?"

"I...I..." The messenger was stunned speechless, hesitating and unable to speak.

"Do you think we are a regular army? Do you think I am a daimyo or some noble family? Don't think too much, we are just a group of wild messengers. To put it bluntly, it is a 'sect organization'. To put it bluntly, it is a group of 'Wild Bandit Ronin', if you want to climb up to become a nobleman, you have to join those noblemen, what's the use of telling me?"

He acted like a rogue and said very annoying but realistic things.

Up to now, they have no room for regret.If they hadn't become like this, they were either killed by those soldiers during the war, or they were still being trampled on at will, farming day after day, just waiting to be exploited by the lord above with taxes.

But now, the price they paid was exchanged for something of sufficient value, and the difficulty of life was much easier than before.

The most fundamental thing is that they have power.

"The source of the power of our 'Rat Secret Cult' comes from that ghost's blood. Once the Lord Mouse God appears within the range of that person's perception, he will be crushed to death by that person's thoughts without taking a single breath." The pair of gray eyes glanced slightly at the messenger in front of him, and he sighed: "It's just like you are in front of me."

"I know you are very unwilling, but this is our status quo."

"But..." Changing the subject, Shugen's changed tone made the envoys subconsciously hold their breath, "This is only temporary, everyone."

"The birth of us is the instruction of fate. We are his catastrophe, his tribulation, and his old enemy that he must face, just like Buddha and Bo Xun."

He turned around and put the white mouse on the table into his palm, then turned back and respectfully lifted the white mouse to the top of his head, looking like the master of ceremonies holding a worship ceremony.

"The birth of Lord Rat God is the 'Mandate of Heaven' and the trial of that ghost king. We are the pioneers in the game between 'God' and 'Ghost', that's why we are called 'Messenger'!"

"But my lord bishop..." Another envoy asked puzzledly, "If there really is a 'mandate of heaven', why didn't heaven give that ghost king heavenly punishment?"

"Kenji." Shugen put the white mouse in his arms, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes, "What do you think is the sky?"

"This..." The messenger suddenly choked up, "I don't know."

"Heaven is destiny, and destiny is all living beings." Shugen casually grabbed a stone on the ground and crushed it into powder, then threw the stone powder on the ground "Flowers, plants, trees, humans, birds and beasts are all part of the sky." , that ghost king may be particularly outstanding. But to fate, it is just one of all things, and there is no need to target it."

"Then...then why..."

"The sage said: "Heaven sends a great mission to a man, he must first suffer from his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and mess with his behavior. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what he can't do."

He whispered a passage that was extremely profound to the messengers, but he didn't mean to explain it.

"Perhaps in his eyes, that ghost king is special."
