Chapter 195
“You heard everything. You can decide for yourself where you want to go.” The benevolent one said as he walked away without turning his head.
Xiao Bai followed behind her, remaining silent.
Now she's just an ordinary disaster. The bow is nowhere to be found.
Come to think of it, the people are dead. How could they possibly keep their weapons?
She was heartbroken because of Benny's attitude. That girl was hard-hearted. Although she hadn't seen it, she probably knew what kind of impact this would have on this strong person.
You can tell how tired she is just by listening to her voice.
She was truly exhausted, so exhausted that she didn't even want to live anymore.
It's not Benny's fault; she knew she couldn't protect Little White. This incident is a prime example; if it weren't for the overflowing compassion of the compassionate one, Little White would probably have died.
She didn't think she would be so lucky next time. Although the Benevolent One was someone who used his abilities based on love, she knew how dark his true nature was.
It's hard to judge what this guy does; you can't always assume he'll do good.
“You’re the first person, as a calamity-level being, to not respond to my words,” the benevolent one said casually, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow. “I won’t make you do anything difficult; in fact, you can’t help me anyway.”
"Yes, I can't do anything."
"I have to say, it's something you absolutely have to do. I need a cute girl to be my lucky charm. She can bring me good fortune, because my luck has been absolutely terrible lately." The benevolent one said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Fine, if you really haven't decided yet, you can try doing something for me once. If you really hate it, then forget it."
"What?" Xiaobai looked at her hesitantly, knowing that she really needed time to make a decision.
"There's this guy in the dungeon who's really foul-mouthed. I was finally starting to feel a little better. Could you take him some food?"
"The guys in the dungeon?"
"His exact words were that he would become stronger if a cute girl could bring him food." The benevolent man spoke slowly and deliberately, thinking of the guy's mocking face.
Resilient? I've never seen such a disgusting person. That's the state you only see after complete depravity and even self-abandonment. Nothing can make a broken person any worse.
So after understanding this, she's been treating the guy in the dungeon better lately, at least she's started giving him food. And the pointless abuse has stopped.
Although the meaningless abuse stopped, the main job was still similar to scientific research.
Therefore, we need to do some extreme things to this child to understand why he has these characteristics.
Is there no concept of death in the fundamental sense? If there is only no concept of death, then there is no resurrection.
Perhaps he has a boundary to death, but he just hasn't found it yet.
So just look for it.
And that guy named Ark, they're all monsters outside the rules.
How many things are outside the rules?
The benevolent man frowned, sensing unease.
This is a sign that the rules are beginning to collapse; their invincibility is built on the foundation of those rules.
The reason why the Chaos Realm is the way it is is due to the rules that have begun to collapse.
Once the rules and order are reduced to zero, this space will collapse and disappear.
This bounded box will disappear sooner or later; it's just a matter of time. The originally projected timeframe has been pushed back by about a thousand years.
But no one expected the warning to arrive so quickly. Things happened so fast; the signs had already appeared, but no countermeasures had been devised.
They need to find ways to postpone their destruction.
Although I am not exactly a good person, as a saint, my responsibility is still to prevent the resurrection of the demons. While the resurrection of the demons is no longer the primary concern, what we need to prevent is the collapse of civilization due to the breakdown of its rules.
"Is that guy Ghost Duke?"
"Hmm? You know him? That would be even better."
......
Little White carried the tray up the dungeon stairs.
The entire dungeon was made of white marble.
It's not for aesthetic reasons, but so that the blood can be cleaned up more easily.
If the blood isn't wiped away, there will definitely be insects and rotting matter. The dungeon will then smell terrible, leaving people with a psychological trauma.
In a sense, the benevolent do indeed have the most followers, because many are needed to clean up the mess.
Little White carried the tray and slowly walked up the stone steps.
The sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the stairwell.
With her hearing, she can hear more things.
For example, the sound of blood falling to the ground.
The door opened, and she saw the guy chained up in the dungeon.
That was Ghost Duke; he was chained and suspended in the air.
Because half of his body had been cut off, leaving only his upper body, he was left hanging there, blood dripping onto the ground.
"Long time no see," Xiaobai said softly.
"Hey! That guy really is good to me, he actually found a cute girl to bring me food." Ghost Duke opened his eyes and looked at the guy who was completely stunned.
Xiaobai was frightened.
It wasn't that I was frightened by the injury; after all, I had just died and had seen my share of hellish sights.
Instead, it was Ghost Duke's smile that captivated him.
This guy laughed so arrogantly and gleefully in this situation.
It was as if the evil spirits had finally returned to hell.
"What good luck!" Ghost Duke said with a chuckle. "Looks like there are vermicelli noodles in my breakfast today? I hope there's vinegar and some chili oil too, then I'll really enjoy it!"
As he spoke, he stared blankly at the child standing there.
Then, realizing something, he smiled helplessly.
"Sorry, it seems you're not planning to feed me. But it doesn't matter, I'm already full just seeing cute girls." Ghost Duke slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
His face was pale, his whole body was pale, because he had almost bled out.
The ground was covered in bright red, viscous blood.
The internal organs were piled up below; Ghost Lord's body was already completely empty.
This guy isn't invincible; he can get weak.
Therefore, he is now extremely weak, and his limit is just being able to glance at the guy standing in front of him.
Xiao Bai looked at the wound on his body and saw it slowly beginning to heal. Although it was slow, it was indeed healing.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" She heard the voice behind her and looked at the benevolent person standing behind her.
"No matter how much damage you do, you won't die, and you'll keep regenerating. There's no reason for it, it's like a set rule with no logic whatsoever." She spoke slowly, taking a short sword from behind Xiaobai and throwing it over.
It pierced straight through his head and then splintered into the opposite wall.
"That was a terrible shot. It's completely useless if it just goes through the head." Ghost Duke opened his eyes again and looked at the guy.
Then he tilted his head again, and the knife stuck in his head was twisted, creating a fairly large hole in his head.
“Oh, I just didn’t shoot through your eyes.” The benevolent one’s voice was soft, but clear.
She patted Xiaobai on the shoulder: "Help him feed some food. He's really been working hard lately. I have things to do. If you don't want to, you can eat by yourself. Wasting food is not a good habit."
He left as he spoke, leaving Xiaobai standing there, bewildered.
"Do you need me to help you pull it off?" she asked hesitantly, but no one answered.
Ghost Duke completely fainted, and the last of his blood was drained.
Xiao Bai took a deep breath to calm herself down and closed her eyes with a slight pain in her eyes.
The benevolent person has no intention of hiding anything from me; the implication is that this is what you'll see every day, and if you can't stand it, you shouldn't come here.
Although they were indeed there to poach people, they didn't actually intend to hire anyone.
About half an hour later, Xiaobai came out of the dungeon and looked at the sunlight outside.
It was so blinding; I'd never felt anything like it before. I absolutely didn't want the sun in the sky to continue shining on me.
In the end, I declined the invitation from the benevolent person, something that required pushing myself to my limits every day. It just wasn't the right place for me.
I don't plan to go back to Benny's place; I can't help her in any way. There's no need to go back.
"Let's just take it as the church tacitly granting me my freedom," Xiaobai thought, fiddling with the cloak she was wearing.
That was the cloak of the benevolent one, which she gave to me after I refused it.
Although it doesn't possess any particularly magical abilities, the materials used are at least quite rare.
In addition, as a parting gift, there is also a usable short knife.
This is what I'll be carrying when I start traveling alone.
No one saw her off; she was preparing to leave the city, for there was no reason for her to stay in the city where the Central Church was located.
Are there any outside? I don't know, I'm not sure. It's just that I'm homeless right now, so I have no choice but to wander around aimlessly.
Even if I die, it doesn't matter. This world has already collapsed to this point. This is pure hell. Death might be a kind of liberation.
"If you care so much, then give her a gift." The benevolent one rested his head on his hand, not wanting to look at the arrogant junior.
Benny stood outside the window watching Little White leave through the city's main gate, carrying nothing but a knife.
That's enough. For monsters, as long as they have enough means to fight, they can already have a place in the world.
If you don't have a place, you'll die, and then enough monsters will spawn.
No one ever forces anyone living here to move forward; it's a very simple thing. If someone can't do it, there will simply be a replacement.
Both monsters and humans are like this; neither lacks a replacement. If something cannot be done, a substitute will take its place. It doesn't matter if either one is missing.
“Benevolent One, what is your name?” Benny suddenly asked.
"My name? Oh dear, I'm a little embarrassed that you suddenly asked me." Ren'ai rested her head on her hand and thought for a moment before saying, "I haven't used my name in a long time, just call me Xiaobai."
"Huh?" Benny paused, then turned around to look at her.
“My name is indeed Bai, just like that child’s name.” The Benevolent One knew Benny’s question: “That’s why I care about that child. She has the same name as me, so I’m a little concerned about her.”
“You never told me that.”
“What’s the use of telling you? I can’t force you to change that child’s name, can I?” The Benevolent One shook his head: “So my name is just Benevolent One, it’s a name that specifically refers to me. Just like I might call you Eight Colors Glass in some places, it always feels a bit strange to just call a girl that.”
After a moment of silence, Benny said softly:
“I’m puzzled. You said that our abilities can only be triggered by belief.” She said softly, “Your ability requires an emotion called love to use, right? I don’t understand why you use it so smoothly.”
"Oh, is that why you want to ask?" The benevolent one leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "I really don't have anything else to do, and it would be nice to explain to the younger generation what love is."
"like?"
What do you think love is?
Benny froze, scratching her face.
Is my relationship with Ark considered love? They're practically a married couple who haven't gone through any formal ceremony. But in the first few years of love, does my heart still feel that spark from that other guy?
"It's rare to see you shy, but although I didn't hear your answer, I roughly know that what you perceive as love is just favoritism." The Benevolent One untied his bound eyes and opened his empty eye sockets to Benny.
It was empty inside; the guy had removed his eyes at some point.
“Favoritism?” Benny didn’t refute it; it was indeed favoritism. If it weren’t for Ark, she wouldn’t have felt love for anyone else.
It would be difficult to imagine if every person whose abilities are being used needed to have feelings of love.
“And my love represents God’s love.” The benevolent one said, emphasizing each word: “What is it that each of us possesses?”
"Just tell me, you don't need to ask questions. I'm just curious, just explain it to me."
"Heh, what a student who never gets a good mood. Benny, you need to know that we all feel pain, we all feel hunger. We all die, we all feel fear, we all feel terror." The Benevolent One said, emphasizing each word: "These are things that can only be experienced by living people."
Benny paused, then realized something, and her expression turned strange.
"Do you mean that these setbacks are also part of God's love?"
“Correct.” Ren’ai slowly rose, his hand tracing the edge of the table. “Once I had this thought, I loved everything in the world. Every experience, no matter what it was, was a miracle of life. Miracles that can only be experienced by living. Therefore, I could indulge in joy, indulgence, or even depravity and despair—these were all experiences that could only be had by living. All of these combined were a collection of love. Yasheri, you misunderstood one thing from the beginning. It wasn’t that I loved the people I healed, but that everything was something I loved. This applies to everyone.”
