Chapter 9 As long as life goes on, evil will never cease.
I'm home.
Yu Qing changed into slippers, went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp. The icy liquid slid down his throat and into his stomach, instantly calming him down.
Yu Qing screwed the bottle cap back on, put it in the refrigerator, and turned to walk towards the bathroom. A moment later, the sound of splashing water came from inside.
After taking a shower, Yu Qing lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling, but Lu Chi's figure still echoed in her mind.
He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
This state lasted for nearly forty minutes until he finally couldn't stand the irritation anymore. He sat up in bed, went to his computer desk, and turned on his computer.
My fingers flew across the keyboard as I searched for information on criminal psychology.
The room was dark, and the dim light reflected off Yu Qing's face, revealing his serious expression.
His hand slowly dragged the mouse.
Soon, an article titled "Human nature is inherently evil" caught his eye. The first sentence of the article was: Human nature has no morality; morality is a product of civilization.
"I am a police officer. No one understands the dark side of human nature better than me. I have seen far too many criminals. The more I see, the more I enjoy interacting with small animals, because animals will always be animals, but sometimes people are not human."
"Through my years of investigation, I have found that in all cases, only a very small number of crimes stem from love and responsibility, while the vast majority of crimes originate from human greed and desire."
Xunzi believed that human nature is inherently evil, and that goodness is acquired through imitation. This means that human nature is selfish and greedy, while so-called kindness and morality are the result of education and legal constraints.
"I disagree with his point of view. Education can only filter out academic underachievers, not scumbags. And scumbags are not bound by the law. Some people are just born bad; the criminal gene is ingrained in their bones, and no one can change them..."
The paper's content revolves around an analysis of the criminal's psychology and living environment, including various personality traits and habits displayed by the criminal in their daily lives.
This paper covers a wide range of professional knowledge, and it is clear that the author is an expert in the field of psychology. His descriptions of the criminals' psychology are quite detailed, and he provides an explanation for each strange behavior.
Yu Qing read the paper from beginning to end with unprecedented seriousness, as if he had opened a completely new door and seen a dark abyss.
He suddenly realized that in the face of greed and desire, human nature appears so despicable that one cannot help but lament its ugliness.
...
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Yu Qing got up on time and went out with dark circles under his eyes. He had been watching TV until 3 a.m. last night, and finally couldn't stay awake any longer, so he dozed off on the table. When he woke up, it was already dawn.
The fog was thick in the morning, and there were very few pedestrians. The only sound on the wide road was the sound of sanitation workers sweeping.
Yu Qing stood at the bus stop waiting, but in the distance came the complaints of sanitation workers: "Oh my god, who gave birth to a child without an anus and did this? They don't even spare stray cats. What did they do to you that you have to poison them to death?"
The sanitation worker's voice was loud, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Yu Qing looked up into the distance and saw a dirty tabby cat lying under the sanitation worker's broom. Its body was stiff and there was vomit at the corner of its mouth, indicating that it had eaten something unclean.
Passersby glanced at him, then looked away with disdain and continued waiting for the bus. Only the sanitation worker was there, cursing and swearing.
Yu Qing stared intently at the tabby cat's corpse, his mind replaying the events of the previous night. He could strongly sense Lu Chi's presence, as if he were standing there, looking at him through the corpse with a mocking smile, seemingly laughing at his foolishness and naivety...
Yu Qing unconsciously clenched her fists.
"Just as the paper said yesterday, some people are born bad, and the criminal gene is engraved in their bones. No one can change them."
Bedwetting, arson, and animal cruelty are early characteristics exhibited by offenders in their childhood.
Once he gets used to the pleasure of torturing animals, he will seek greater stimulation and evolve to the next stage, which is killing.
At this point, first-time murderers often choose vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, women, or children, as their primary targets. They will gradually adapt to this state for a period of time and then evolve to the next stage.
As long as life goes on, evil will never cease...
Yu Qing seemed to understand how angry the person who wrote the Bible must have been when he sent God to flood the world, drowning a group of beasts whose eyes were blinded by greed and whose minds were clouded by desire.
...
Yu Qing arrived at the classroom with a heavy heart. The students had gradually arrived. He subconsciously glanced at the seat against the wall and found that Lu Chi was sitting there quietly as usual, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Yu Qing went straight to her seat, took out her textbook from her bag, and buried herself in reading, trying to distract herself.
However, he had barely sat down when he felt someone gently poke his arm: "Yu Qing!"
Yu Qing looked up and saw Zhou Xiaoming, the one who had been beaten up in the bathroom last time. Zhou Xiaoming looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Yu Qing frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Lin Yueyue seems to have been lying there ever since she entered the classroom. I don't know what's wrong with her. Do you want to go and check on her?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qing's brows furrowed even more. He turned to look at Lin Yueyue behind him and saw her lying on the desk in pain, her forehead covered in sweat and her lips frighteningly white.
Yu Qing immediately stood up and patted her shoulder: "Hey! Are you alright? Should I take you to the infirmary?"
Lin Yueyue struggled to open her eyes, looked weakly at Yu Qing, and said with trembling lips, "I feel so weak... I think I have a cold..."
Yu Qing reached out and touched her forehead, finding it covered in cold sweat. He frowned and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
“No…” Lin Yueyue shook her head.
Yu Qing immediately realized that it must be a case of low blood sugar, otherwise she would not be so weak as to be in this state.
"Wait for me a moment." After saying that, Yu Qing hurriedly ran out of the classroom.
He returned in less than two minutes, handing Lin Yueyue a few White Rabbit milk candies and a bottle of cola: "Eat a couple of candies to calm down. Don't worry, it's just low blood sugar. Remember to eat breakfast from now on, okay?"
Lin Yueyue took the candy and put it in her mouth. Then, as Yu Qing instructed, she drank a big gulp of cola. She finally felt a little better and said gratefully, "Thank you."
"We're all classmates, no need to be so polite." Yu Qing waved his hand casually, turned around and went back to his seat, taking out his test materials to review.
As Lin Yueyue watched Yu Qing's retreating figure, she felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity when she heard the word "classmate."
Morning self-study session ends.
Yu Qing tidied up her desk and left the classroom.
At this moment, Wang Meili came over and asked with a curious look, "I just saw Yu Qing buy you snacks. I knew he was trying to get your attention. It's only been a few days, and he's already sending you things again?"
"It's not what you think," Lin Yueyue quickly clarified.
Wang Meili pouted and said sourly, "Oh! They even gave me White Rabbit milk candy. Nobody has ever given me that before. Waaah... I want some too."
"Wang Meili, stop drooling," Lin Yueyue said disdainfully.
"That's not my saliva, that's my tears of envy."
