The Ninth Seat, who was standing by, saw this scene and a look of helplessness emerged in his eyes. He waved to the women and they dispersed. As they left, they did not forget to turn back and glare at Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu glanced at them and glared back at them fiercely.

"...You can't do this." The ninth seat held a wine glass and walked to Shen Qingzhu and sat down.

"What's wrong?"

"What we do is a life on the edge of a knife, which requires us to be in a highly tense mental state for a long time. If we can't find a suitable outlet, it's easy to have psychological problems." The ninth seat shook the wine glass in his hand and said.

Shen Qingzhu said calmly: "I don't need to vent."

The ninth seat shook his head. "No, everyone needs to vent. No one can keep themselves tight forever. We need to do something we like to relax our minds. For ordinary people, their way of venting may be taking a vacation, watching a movie, sleeping, dating, playing games...

But we are different. In our line of work, we are in a state of high tension for a long time, and no one knows when we will die. We are used to the dark side of human nature, so our ways of venting are generally bloody, such as killing, looting, and torturing... Relatively speaking, venting through women is a relatively gentle way.

I know you are different from others and won't choose those perverted methods, but I didn't expect you wouldn't even touch a woman. This is not what you should do at your age."

"What about the night watchmen? They are also under great mental stress and don't know when they will die. Why don't they need to vent?" Shen Qingzhu asked back.

"That's different." The Ninth Seat shook his head. "Do you know why the Night's Watch operates in small teams?"

"Because it requires teamwork?"

"This is only part of the reason. Another reason is that when they are under high pressure, they have teammates they can rely on to share the pressure. They can relax themselves by communicating and joking with each other. This is why there are always funny people in those outstanding Night Watch teams. Do you really think they are stupid?

In a sense, they are the smartest people and the ones who have the deepest feelings for this team.

And you? You're just one person.

There is a difference between an individual and a group of people.”

Shen Qingzhu stared blankly at the ninth seat in front of him, as if he understood something.

"What about you? How do you vent?" Shen Qingzhu couldn't help but ask.

The ninth seat smiled slightly and pointed at the plump beauties who had just left. "Who doesn't like beautiful women and good wine? Although I am old, I am still a man and I still have lustful hearts.

Kill in cold blood when it is time to kill, enjoy when it is time to enjoy, enjoy when it is time to be cool, do not use violence unnecessarily, do not disturb others presumptuously, I think this is the best way of life for those of us walking in the dark. "

Shen Qingzhu stared into the eyes of the Ninth Seat for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You don't give me the feeling of a [believer], but rather like..."

"Like what?"

Shen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and uttered four words, "Green Forest Hero."

The ninth seat was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing, and slowly his smile disappeared.

"When I was young, my favorite book was Water Margin. A group of frustrated people who were manipulated by fate gathered together, ignoring the secular perspective and the constraints of the rules. They robbed houses, but they did good things to protect the people...

Back then, Lord Yiyu found me and told me in detail about what a perfect society of equality and justice would emerge after the evil god came to the world. I was young and full of passion, but was deeply hurt by the reality. I felt that this disgusting society needed to be corrected, and [Believers] were Liangshan, who were carrying the mission of saving the world.

Lord Yiyu is naturally the Song Jiang in my mind.

When I first joined the Believer, I did meet a few like-minded friends, and we regarded the name of the Believer as an honor... But slowly, I found that things were not what I imagined. "

He stared at the wine glass in his hand, his voice a little dull.

“Some of Lord Yiyu’s orders were incomprehensible to me, but perhaps out of trust in Lord Yiyu, I still followed his orders… But I found that there were more and more such orders. As time went by, the members of the Believers changed several times, and this organization became more and more unfamiliar to me.

I simply closed my eyes, not trying to judge what was right or wrong. I just relied on my trust in Mr. Whispering to kill, kill, kill...

I don’t know when it started, but I can no longer feel ‘me’.”

The ninth seat put the wine glass in his hand to his lips, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Qingzhu looked at his figure silently, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The Ninth Seat himself was not aware of it, but Shen Qingzhu certainly knew what was going on.

The so-called perfect society and Liangshan were nothing more than means for Yiyu to trick him into becoming a "believer", and the so-called "trust in Lord Yiyu" was also because of the soul contract that Yiyu had planted deep in the other's soul.

It's not that he is unwilling to face reality, but under the control of the whispering soul, he subconsciously refuses to accept reality and unconditionally offers his loyalty...

His mind has essentially been manipulated.

If it weren't for the [Returning Jade] to cancel the soul contract for him, I'm afraid he would have become like the Ninth Seat, completely lost himself, and worked for Yi Yu in a daze.

Among all the [believers], there are many people like the Ninth Seat who were deceived into joining, but as time goes by, most of them lose themselves in the darkness and become true evil [believers].

But even though the Ninth Seat's soul had been controlled for so many years, he still subconsciously adhered to his bottom line, which surprised Shen Qingzhu very much.

"I can feel that you are different from the others." The Ninth Seat turned to look at Shen Qingzhu, his eyes a little distracted, as if he was drunk, "There is something in your eyes that other [Believers] don't have... I was like this when I first joined [Believers].

I am old, but you are still young, and your potential is higher than mine. If it were you... maybe you could really change the current [Believers], and lead the entire [Believers] to glory, just like Master Yiyu said."

He patted Shen Qingzhu's shoulder, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I'm optimistic about you."

Shen Qingzhu's eyes met his gaze, and she silently shifted her gaze elsewhere.
