Liang Yuan laughed so hard that tears came out. "I just persisted in this environment for a while. I thought I could make it, until they called me to the rooftop and made Yang Lin choose between me and them. They also stripped my clothes and made me bark like a dog. Even that humiliation wasn't enough. They forced me to stand up there, forced me to... die!"
Wen Xi sighed softly, "I know that Zhong Cheng is still a drug addict. He had already committed several crimes before transferring here. It was his father who cleaned up his mess. It's only a matter of time before he'll be finished."
"Of course... What I want to say is, Liang Yuan, you did nothing wrong. Even killing these people, I can't call it... doing anything wrong."
Wen Xi smiled faintly and said calmly, "The evil in their hearts is the accomplice who catalyzed your death. None of them is innocent. They died, and they couldn't escape their fate. But do you know? Who forwarded your video? Who helped you select people one by one to spread these videos?"
Liang Yuan clenched his fists, lowered his head and said nothing.
Wen Xi continued, "Looking at your expression, Liang Yuan, I think you know that all of this was done by your father, who depended on you for everything. He knew your soul was in the video, and that you wanted revenge. He helped you take this step, but if he knew that you were going to destroy your soul for revenge, what do you think he would think? He would condemn himself and feel guilty for you, but he would also come down here to accompany you. Anyway, the last straw that broke the camel's back had already fallen."
Liang Yuan said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, Dad... he has done so much for me. I can't let him give up his life for me."
"But you can't stop him."
Wen Xi stepped forward and, ignoring Zhong Cheng's resistance, kicked him in the knee. Amidst his wails, he snatched the talisman from his hand. With a snap of his fingers, the talisman was engulfed in flames. "Come, I'll give you a chance. You don't need to die to get your revenge. However, Zhong Cheng is a very violent person. His hands are stained with blood. If you are killed by him, he will turn you into a ghost like you. By the time he becomes a ghost, you will have become weaker and may not be his opponent. What will he do then? Tear you apart and then go find your relatives to make you taste the pain they feel?"
Liang Yuan's eyes turned cold, obviously he didn't want this to happen.
Zhong Cheng ignored the pain in his knees when he heard this and laughed arrogantly, "So that's how it is. I can also become a fierce ghost. Yes, I'm so powerful. I tortured you when you were alive, and I can also suppress you after death. Don't think that you are so powerful just because you become a fierce ghost. I can do it too. Come on, Liang Yuan, don't you want to kill me? Hurry up and do it. I don't believe that after I become a fierce ghost, I can't deal with you. You will be defeated by me!"
Seeing his frenzied look, Yang Lin felt a chill in her heart and cursed, "Zhong Cheng, you are truly a complete lunatic. You can actually have such thoughts. You are simply sick. You have harmed Liang Yuan like this, and you still want to become a ghost and destroy him?"
Zhong Cheng's eyes were filled with madness. "Why not? I'm going to tear you to pieces, Yang Lin. After all, I've always liked you the way you are. If I die, I'll definitely take you with me."
Liang Yuan really hesitated, his eyes full of grief and despair. His enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn't take action?
Yue Yan couldn't help but shout, "Wen Xi..."
Wen Xi said, "I know you don't have the heart to do it, but the underworld also has rules. I can indeed let Liang Yuan kill Zhong Cheng, and I can also take him in first after Zhong Cheng becomes a fierce ghost, but... why should I help Liang Yuan? He no longer has the light of merit. No matter what wrongs these ghosts did in their lives, it is not Liang Yuan's turn to make the final judgment, and some of their crimes are not punishable by death! Liang Yuan's hands are already stained with a lot of blood. He will be judged and punished in hell. I have my own rules and regulations, and I can't make an exception for him."
Yue Yan sighed softly, "I know. I originally planned to let him possess me to scare Zhong Cheng, get more evidence, and restrain him at the same time. I didn't expect things to develop like this."
Zhong Cheng shouted proudly, "Look, Liang Yuan, all the good things are on my side. People like you are destined to hide in the dark corners and be like a rat crossing the street!"
Liang Yuan's soul began to tremble slightly. Although he hated him with gnashing teeth, he no longer had the urge to kill him.
Wen Xi rolled her eyes at Zhong Cheng and kicked him hard a few times. "I'm talking about my rules. Am I giving you face? You idiot, you rubbish! Being the most useless person in the world is better than being a scum like you. Do you think I'm helping you? What the hell is this? How dare you get involved with me? You're scolding Liang Yuan. I just don't want you to become a fierce ghost and dirty your way to the underworld, you idiot!"
Wen Xi beat Zhong Cheng up so badly that he started cursing his parents and begging for mercy.
"Stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I beg you!"
Zhong Cheng didn't even dare to resist. Zou Zheng's cold gaze was fixed on him, and he couldn't move.
Wen Xi beat him up, but still not satisfied, she said coldly, "Liang Yuan, I've said so much, do you understand the truth?"
Liang Yuan hesitated, "I..."
Yue Yan was speechless. "Liang Yuan, where is the cruelty you showed to them and to me? Can't you tell that Wen Xi wants to help you? You have no chance of winning against Zhong Cheng head-on. If you kill Zhong Cheng, he will turn into a fierce ghost and kill you and your father. Zhong Cheng is not immortal, but..."
"Let him live a life worse than death!"
Wen Xi brushed the dust off the corners of his clothes and regained his composure. "You can torture him first to vent your anger. Just think of it as a promise I made to you... worth a thousand gold!"
Liang Yuan suddenly looked up at her and said hesitantly, "You mean..."
Wen Xi said, "He will have his punishment, a punishment that will make his life worse than death. You can witness it all and see if you can let go of your resentment and voluntarily report to the underworld."
Liang Yuan hung his head and remained silent.
Yang Lin couldn't bear it any longer. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "Liang Yuan, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Did you promise her? I was originally afraid that you would come looking for me, but now it has come to this. I just hope that your next move will be better than the last one. I also know that I have let you down. Even if you really want to take my life, I am not afraid anymore. If you want my life, then take it."
Liang Yuan smiled sadly, "Yang Lin, I really did want to kill you once."
