Chapter 589 The Evil of Human Nature
At Xu time, Zhongling County Government Office.
Standing in the darkness, looking up at the gold-plated plaque on a black background, the corners of Wei Changtian's clothes rustled in the wind.
From time to time, laughter and women's crying could be heard drifting out of the county government office, and it sounded like some bandits were having fun.
In contrast to the "lively" atmosphere inside the yamen, there was dead silence outside the county government office. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other movement, and there was not even a single patrolling bandit.
I don’t know if it’s because they are so used to bullying others in Zhongling County that these bandits feel there is no need to patrol anymore.
“Clang.”
He slowly drew the sword from its sheath, and the shadowy blade shone with a cold glow under the moonlight.
Wei Changtian walked up the stone steps in front of the yamen with an expressionless face, stopped, and then pressed the closed door with one hand.
The next moment, pure internal energy burst out from his palm and instantly blasted the several-inch-thick door into countless pieces.
"Bang!!!"
“Boom!!!”
A huge noise exploded in the night sky of Zhongling City, and all movement in the county government office came to an abrupt halt.
"Damn it! Who is it?!"
"Dare to break into the county government? Are you tired of living?!"
"You're disturbing my fun! Damn it!"
In front of the gatehouse, several raggedy-clothed bandits flashed out with knives in their hands, fierce eyes, and yelling and cursing.
They saw Wei Changtian standing with a sword hanging down at one glance, and then rushed over without any hesitation.
And in the open door behind them, several women in tattered clothes and bloodstained bodies had their eyes wide open in fear and curled up tightly in a ball.
"Boy! I think you are..."
“Swish!”
“.”
The shadow of a knife flashed by, lifting a head, and blood spurted into the air.
The bandit who was rushing in the front lost his head before he could even finish his sentence, and the others didn't even see Wei Changtian's movements clearly.
"Yes, he is a master."
"Ah!! Go and inform the boss!!"
“Run away!!!”
The remaining bandits stopped immediately, turned around and fled in panic without hesitation for a second.
In a flash, accompanied by shouts of fear, several embarrassed figures quickly disappeared deep into the county government office.
However, Wei Changtian did not kill them. He just dragged the blood-stained knife and slowly walked into the candlelit gatehouse.
“Hula!”
A gust of wind caused the candlelight to flicker, and the flames shone on the torture instruments in the room, creating a sickening refraction of light.
This is not a county jail, nor a torture chamber, so these blood-stained torture instruments are certainly not used to interrogate prisoners.
Then their target users are undoubtedly the women in the house who are covered in wounds.
“.”
His eyes swept across seven or eight faces of different ages and appearances but with extremely similar experiences. Looking at their expressions of fear, numbness, or despair, Wei Changtian said nothing.
The ugliness of human nature was fully displayed at this moment, as if all the despicable and ugly things in the world were displayed nakedly before his eyes like the exposed skin of these women.
It was obvious that these women did not hold any important secrets, and most likely they had no deep hatred with the bandits.
It was impossible for the bandits to improve their own cultivation by torturing them, nor was it possible for them to extract any reasonable value from them.
Therefore, the bandits had only one purpose in abusing these women in such a cruel way.
That's for fun. You know, there is always a reason and a motive when anyone does anything or commits any evil act.
Maybe it was for the country and the people like Ning Yongnian, or maybe it was for one's own cultivation like Bai Youheng.
But now, when this reason became the simplest "having fun", Wei Changtian realized that he still underestimated the extent of the evil of human nature.
The thick smell of blood lingered in the nose, slid down the blade of the knife, making people want to vomit.
Wei Changtian slowly closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them after a few breaths.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the same went for the women.
The latter may have thought that Wei Changtian was just a bandit from another hill, or he may have developed an indelible psychological trauma towards any "man with a knife".
In short, Wei Changtian could see deep fear and pain in their eyes.
Just like that, the room fell into a brief silence.
Until a faint voice suddenly sounded.
"Hurry, hurry up."
“They will be back soon”
The woman's voice was weak and trembling.
Wei Changtian was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
He quickly found the person who was talking, but his eyes only stayed on him for a moment before he immediately looked away.
Because this woman or girl had no covering on her body, only bloody wounds.
Wei Changtian couldn't tell her age accurately from her bloodstained face, but he estimated that she was no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
At this age, he would probably still be in primary school in his previous life. He took a deep breath, inserted the shadow diagonally on the ground, and reached out to untie his outer robe.
Wei Changtian's actions made the women in the room close their eyes in despair, and the only remaining hope in their hearts was instantly shattered.
Footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer However, what they thought did not happen.
Especially the girl who reminded Wei Changtian to hurry up, she suddenly felt warm, as if something soft was covering her body.
She had never worn anything so smooth and fine.
The girl opened her eyes tremblingly and looked at Wei Changtian who was slowly getting up. Her eyes suddenly became clearer.
But the next moment, when waves of shouting came into the house from far away, she became frightened again.
"Boss! That kid shouldn't have left yet!"
"Damn it! He dares to come here to cause trouble. It seems that he doesn't know how to write the word death!"
"Hurry up, damn!"
"Kill that brat!!"
"Yes! Just wait and see, boss!"
“.”
"Hurry, hurry up, hurry up"
There seemed to be some pleading in the trembling voice. The girl already knew that Wei Changtian was a "good man" and did not want to see him die under the knife of the bandits.
However, Wei Changtian did not respond. He turned around expressionlessly and slowly pulled out the shadow that had been stuck in the ground.
The girl stared at his back in a daze, her lips trembling and her eyes seemed a little moist.
She didn't know why she was crying.
She clearly didn't cry when she was tortured by the bandits before.
Including the other women in the room, their eyes were filled with sadness at this moment.
This emotion is due to both the bandits who have returned and the fate that one is powerless to resist.
It is also because a rare "good guy" like Wei Changtian is about to die at the hands of evil people.
"Why, why?"
"Why do good people die, but bad people live?"
"God, please, open your eyes."
Suddenly, the girl's desperate murmurs came to an abrupt halt, and the sudden burst of golden light illuminated her wide eyes.
She stared blankly at the back, watching long swords with dazzling golden light pouring out of the latter's scabbard, surging in the night sky like a golden dragon.
At this moment, she seemed to see the gods in the sky slowly open their eyes.
“.”
"Fuck you."
On the other side, standing outside the gatehouse, looking at the hundreds of bandits opposite with astonished expressions, Wei Changtian blurted out a swear word that he hadn't said for a long time.
He looked past the countless flying golden knives, glanced at the cold night sky, and slowly raised his left hand.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, an invisible wall of air rose from the ground, covering the entire county government office.
"Today, I will..."
While talking to himself, Wei Changtian's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the next second he crashed into the group of bandits with countless long swords.
"Do justice for the heavens!"
