Must be a bad guy?

Ash was confused: "What do you mean?"

Black Crow said: "I am the Judgement Warrior of Crow Killer. Outsiders call us 'Black Crow' because we are always portrayed as bad guys."

"Why?"

"Because evil people are not afraid of good people." Black Crow said: "A kind and strong person, a good person who abides by the rules, a magician who likes small animals and likes to help the weak... cannot deter those crazy people who seize every opportunity to do evil."

"So, we must be ugly, vicious, rule-abiding, cruel and tyrannical enough, and even inhumane, so that the villains will tremble when they see the black crows, and the murderers will panic when they hear the crows are killed."

Ash hesitated for a moment, "Then-"

Black Crow seemed to realize what he wanted to ask, and spoke first: "In the Crow Killing Sect, in addition to the Judgement Warriors, there are also Blessing Monks. Just as the Warriors are called 'Black Crows', the Blessing Monks are called 'White Crows'. The basic configuration of the Crow Killing Team is one Warrior and one Monk. If the mission is more difficult, there will be multiple Warriors and one Monk."

"The warriors are responsible for killing and destruction, and the monks are responsible for healing and comforting." He said: "The work of rescuing others is the responsibility of the White Crow."

"As fearful as the wicked are when they see black crows, as joyful as the good are when they see white crows. Therefore, white crows cannot kill people, and black crows cannot save people. They are clearly distinguished from each other, and they complement each other."

"All hatred and fear are carried by black crows, and all gratitude and love are carried by white crows."

"Black crows herald death, white crows herald life. This is the rule of killing all crows."

Ash said, "So that's why you were so cold just now?"

Black Crow nodded: "Moreover, the more indifferent and ruthless we Black Crows are, the more those who are rescued will know that our justice is not taken for granted. Then, when they receive rescue from White Crow, they will be more grateful and cherish it."

"Carrot and stick." Igula said slowly, "It's a very simple application of psychology."

"One is responsible for the appearance, and the other is responsible for the inside." Ash said thoughtfully: "So you expected that we would leave food behind?"

Black Crow nodded again: "When I was on a team with White Crow before, she was responsible for all these things. Now that I'm on a team with you, since you are willing to carry out White Crow's good deeds, I will naturally continue to maintain Black Crow's evil deeds."

Ash asked, "But this will only make people fear you, alienate you, or even hate you. Can you accept that?"

"Of course, I was already aware of this when I became a Judgement Warrior and put on the mask." Black Crow's distorted voice could not hide his arrogance.

Igula suddenly asked: "Will people who become white crows also have this awareness?"

Black Crow looked at the Trickster: "What do you want to say?"

"I guess you would think that the psychological burden of the Black Crow is much greater than that of the White Crow, but that's not the case." Igula said: "You don't need to rescue others, which means you are far away from life and death, but the White Crow has to deal with your mess. Those who were accidentally injured by you, those who you didn't have time to save, those who you saved but were retaliated against... The difficulties you face are nothing more than unfinished killings, while the White Crow faces irreparable tragedies."

"The Black Crow can at least use its sacred martyrdom to offset the psychological pressure, but the White Crow can't find any other excuses. It can only open its eyes and witness the tragedy one after another, but it still has to maintain the face of your sect and greet tomorrow with a smile."

"You are not the only one who is suffering." Igula looked ahead and said slowly, "Others also have their own concerns."

Seeing Black Crow lowering his head like a computer crashed, Ash sighed.

They have been entering the Four Pillars Sect's sphere of influence to hunt down Yin Deng for more than ten days.

These days, Tamashi has been recalling his past more often. For example, although he did not mention who his White Crow partner was this time, everyone could guess that it was the former Mercury Trojan.

Ash didn't understand why he wanted to dig up those painful memories, and tried to interrupt him several times, but was stopped by Igula.

"If you tear off the scab after the wound has formed, the wound will never heal." Igula explained to Ash: "The crow not only tore off the scab, but also deliberately enlarged the wound so that he would remember the pain."

Ash finally understood Tamashi's thoughts.

After all, when they caught the Silver Lamp, they would have to face the Four Pillars Cult. This might be the best opportunity to kill the Mercury Trojan Horse, so Tamashi kept recalling the good old days, so that when he faced the Mercury Trojan Horse, he could be more decisive and ruthless.

Because our initial encounter was so beautiful, the resentment is so deep now.

Everyone in the team holds different attitudes towards Black Crow's idea. Harvey doesn't care and tends to support it. After all, the necromancer's attitude is "revenge is everything in life, so what's wrong with that?"

But Iguerra was against it.

The Trickster didn't think that Black Crow shouldn't be immersed in revenge, he just simply hated Tamashi, and even Ash could see that.

At this point, Ash himself was a little confused. He didn't know how these two became enemies...

As a spiritual sanctuary, Igula's methods of bewitching people are naturally extremely sophisticated. He only needs to listen carefully to Tamashi's memories and then raise doubts one by one to make Black Crow fall into deep confusion.

Under Igula's guidance, Tamashi discovered that his proud memories seemed to have hidden many contradictions and undercurrents. And he could no longer find the answers because he was the only one left after the Crow Killer.

Although Igula had bad intentions, Ash did not stop him.

Because every time Black Crow got lost, he would become more determined and sharper the next day. The words of the trickster were like a whetstone, sharpening his knife faster and sharper.

Every time Ash exited the virtual realm and opened his eyes to see the black crow, he would worry that he would be chopped to death by Tamashi as an evil crow because of his chaotic emotional relationship.

Boom!

After crossing the rugged mountains, Ash and his companions soon arrived at their destination - a huge pit suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. The closer they got, the more they realized that the pit was endless.

When they reached the edge of the giant pit, they could see the ruins of a city in the deep pit. High-rise buildings, highway structures, and corroded and chaotic traffic were all clearly visible.

But the most eye-catching thing is the symbols and words that can be seen everywhere.

Every inch of the wall, every inch of the ground, every brick, wherever you can see, is engraved with symbols and words. Some of them can be barely discerned, but some are almost self-created symbols and are completely incomprehensible.

The whole city looks like it is covered with tattoos, and there is not a single clean spot. One cannot help but wonder who is so bored as to spend so much energy to uglify the city.

"You are late."

The four turned around and saw a strange female sorceress spreading her golden and silver wings and flying out from the deep pit.

"However, you can also say that you came at the right time." Mercury Trojan smiled, his eyes filled with unfathomable depth.

"The Silver Lamp is already under the control of the Four Pillars Divine Religion."
