Seeing the child in this state, both Xi Ran and Chu Sheng showed expressions of heartache.
The two exchanged a glance, unsure how to explain the truth to the child.
Xi Ran could only pull him into her arms, patting his back as she gently whispered:
"Don't cry, don't cry...good boy..."
After about ten minutes of coaxing, the child fell asleep in her arms.
The child is probably only 5 years old.
Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xi Ran, saying:
"Sure, Xiran!"
Xi Ran smiled and said:
"I have a younger sister, and this is how I used to lull her to sleep."
As Fengling watched all this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her.
Cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, criminals...
There seems to be some connection between these things!
So he walked up to Xi Ran.
Xi Ran was puzzled, thinking that Feng Ling also wanted to hug the child.
But then he slowly squatted down and approached the sleeping child.
He took a deep breath near his ear:
"Get up!"
"ah--"
The child trembled in Xi Ran's arms, startled, and turned sharply to look at the wind chimes.
His face was completely bewildered.
Xi Ran was startled and stared blankly at the wind chimes.
Before he could react, the wind chime asked directly:
"I heard you talking in your sleep just now, and you mentioned sheep. Did you ever keep a sheep at home?"
The child paused for a second, then nodded:
"Little lamb, you're my good friend...but..."
As she spoke, her little mouth pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Wind Chime immediately said:
"But he was killed by your father, wasn't he?"
"Ugh... um..."
He wiped away his tears, and seeing this, Xi Ran quickly used her gentle approach again to coax him.
"What are you doing, Wind Chime?"
Chu Sheng was puzzled. Feng Ling's face was a little gloomy. She said indifferently:
"I'm going to find Yin Kong Men. You all wait here."
Before Chu Sheng could react, she turned to leave.
Chu Sheng originally wanted to follow, but then suddenly understood.
Oh, this is the world that Fengling created for herself and Xiran!
I understand!
Wind chimes! You're truly my good brother!
Seeing the wind chimes run away, Xi Ran called out:
"Brother Wind Chime, be careful!"
Feng Ling paused slightly, glanced back at Xi Ran with narrowed eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and finally nodded.
"good."
Once outside the town, he shouted:
"Yin Kong Men!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Swish—
Yin Kongmen appeared before him without warning, like a ghost, and said nothing.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Fengling said helplessly:
"You're not going to say anything?"
Yin Kongmen spoke calmly:
"You already know, what more do I need to say?"
Fengling pouted, sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at the entrance of the Demon-Examining Town in front of her, and waved her hand:
"Sit down, let's talk."
Yin Kongmen: ? ? ?
Hey kid, you better understand who's in charge here.
Are you the mayor of this town?
"Feng Ling suddenly asked."
Yin Kongmen shook his head:
"no."
He looked at the town ahead, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:
"Human negative energy can cause the dead to transform into demons..."
"The Demon-Testing Town is used to conduct experiments based on this, right?"
Yin Kongmen nodded without speaking, so Feng Ling continued:
"This place is filled with heinous criminals. Their deep-seated evil thoughts constantly haunt this town, which makes it highly likely that the livestock that die here every day will transform into demons at night when the yin energy is at its heaviest."
The monsters that appeared before were all domestic fowl like chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and pigs, which Fengling found very strange.
Of course, that cat was an exception; as for what it went through... you can probably imagine.
They were undoubtedly tortured to death.
Yin Kongmen remained silent, and Feng Ling continued:
"Humans kill livestock, livestock transform into demons, and demons then kill humans... When necessary, you must intervene to resolve the situation and maintain it at a sustainable level. Keep it in an experimental state."
"Simply put, this is... an experimental base specifically used to produce demons, right?"
"The test is about what kind of demon race will be produced by different evil thoughts, negative energy, or under specific conditions, right?"
Having said that, Fengling had basically covered most of the points, and Yin Kongmen simply said, "That's right."
He took over the wind chime's words:
"The Demon Testing Town is an experimental organization jointly established by the three top families in the Spirit Master world and several other families. Each Demon Testing Town has a different testing method, but their purpose is to understand the demon race so as to better fight against the demon race and protect this world."
A cold wind blew by, and the wind chimes felt a little cold:
How many towns like this are there in total?
Yin Kongmen remained silent.
After a long silence, Feng Ling sighed and slowly spoke:
"I feel a little annoyed..."
Yin Kongmen frowned and said:
"What's bothering you?"
Fengling pursed her lips and asked:
"You should have been there when the Thousand-Faced Sheep was born, right?"
Yin Kongmen nodded, and Feng Ling continued:
Why did those three children survive in the end?
He seemed to know what Fengling wanted to say, but did not answer the question.
Feng Ling turned to look at him, their eyes met, and she said in a deep voice:
"Those three children survived not because their father stopped the Thousand-Faced Sheep, but because the Thousand-Faced Sheep never intended to kill them. Right?"
"Otherwise, with the strength of that Thousand-Faced Sheep, it would have already swallowed those three children whole!"
"Because the sheep and the three children were friends..."
"But I killed the Thousand-Faced Sheep. Tell me, did I do the right thing, Commander?"
After saying that, Fengling smiled.
Yin Kongmen narrowed his eyes slightly. What did that smile mean?
He still had a smile on his face and said:
"It is our evil thoughts, greed, and negative energy that created these monsters. We gave them a second life! We are the great creators! They should submit to us! Right?"
Yin Kongmen knew that the wind chimes were mocking him, and said calmly:
"This is for the sake of all mankind. Otherwise, you will see a world overrun by monsters and where all living beings suffer!"
The smile on Feng Ling's face vanished:
"Tell me, are there any good demons in this world?"
Yin Kongmen remained silent for a moment, then said, word by word:
Humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies!
The wind chimes just smiled:
"Then, Commander, what do you think constitutes a good person?"
