Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Bai Tianming returned to the plant again...
Bai Tianming returned to the botanical garden again.
He was still a little confused. He looked around and found that the small gray particles floating in the air were twice as dense as before. In the time it took him to blink, the situation in front of him distorted again.
In a village shrouded in clouds and mist, Bai Tianming, who had appeared many years ago, was squatting beside a corpse in human form, with one hand on the corpse's neck. He frowned, listened carefully, heard nothing, and was about to withdraw his hand.
Suddenly, a white feather arrow flew over. With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the clouds and flew in front of Bai Tianming. Bai Tianming blinked his eyes, dodged to the side and avoided it.
The arrow flew straight past him and pierced the wall behind him. Bai Tianming took a look at the arrow, then turned his head and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
A man gradually walked out of the clouds, with a pair of huge white wings covered with white feathers behind him. He held a white feather arrow in his left hand and a bow in his right hand.
Bai Tianming's gaze fell on the bow. A golden light flashed around the bow like lightning. It was obvious that the attack power of this thing was extremely strong.
"You killed him?" Joshua glanced at the body on the ground.
The face of the corpse gradually turned a poisonous blue color, and the expression was stiff and calm. Beneath the calmness, there was a hidden distortion, as if he had suddenly been redeemed in an extremely painful situation.
Bai Tianming frowned, shook off the hand that had just touched the corpse, and replied, "I didn't kill him."
Joshua didn't believe it, but he was still willing to give Bai Tianming a chance to explain, even though he had shot an arrow at him before and had no intention of talking to anyone. "How did he die?"
"How should I know?" Bai Tian knew that it was suspicious for him to be standing there. After all, he had just taken his hand away from the corpse, as if he had just strangled the person to death.
But in fact, there were no fingerprints left by him on the body. He had just measured the other person's pulse to confirm whether the other person was still alive, not to strangle the person to death.
The man died before he arrived.
Joshua frowned and looked at Bai Tianming with a cautious, scrutinizing gaze. He stepped aside, blocking the intersection to prevent him from escaping. He asked seriously and meaningfully, "You don't know? Then who would know?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Tianming frowned, looked at him and asked.
"The deceased is an angel, and I am also an angel. Just for this reason, I cannot turn a blind eye. Moreover," Joshua took out his ID and showed it to Bai Tianming, "I am an angel investigator."
The Investigator is responsible for investigating these things——
Angel's corpse, angel's death, and so on.
Bai Tianming nodded thoughtfully. He was an angel investigator, so there was nothing wrong with him stopping the suspect as soon as he saw the body.
"So how did this person die?" Joshua took the ID back and asked Bai Tianming without blinking his eyes.
"I don't know," Bai Tianming spread out his hands with an innocent look on his face. "Maybe he died of illness? I just saw him lying on the ground and came over to check on him. I didn't expect he was already beyond saving and that you saw it."
Joshua stared at Bai Tianming, his expressionless face revealing what he was thinking. Bai Tianming blinked, and Joshua slowly looked away.
It seems that he is not a suspect, but we cannot let him off the hook based on one-sided testimony. In order to avoid the criminal escaping due to negligence, it is better to keep him with you first. Later, when you get clues and find out the truth, you can also clear his name and apologize to him as soon as possible.
"Can you form a temporary team with me to investigate the cause of death of this body?" Joshua looked serious and extended an invitation to Bai Tianming.
Bai Tianming thought about it and realized that he had been stopped now. If he had to leave, it would only increase his suspicion. If he could find out the truth, there should be no problem. "Okay."
To avoid being kept behind, he added, "But once the matter is clarified, I will leave immediately."
Joshua nodded and said calmly, "Okay."
A gust of wind blew over, and the gray particles in front of my eyes were scattered. The next moment, they gathered together again, and another scene appeared.
The sky was clear and the air was bright. Bai Tianming and Joshua were sitting in front of a very bright and clear blue pond.
Under the sunlight, the pond looks like a very smoothly polished sapphire mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, shining brightly and beautifully.
Joshua looked at his reflection in the pond, tilted his head, and asked Bai Tianming, "I'm very different from other angels, right?"
Bai Tianming didn't look at him, but smiled and replied, "You asked me this question, and you already have the answer in your heart."
Joshua was silent for a while. Bai Tianming was right. Before he asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart. Because before coming here, he once again heard the angels not far away whispering about him.
"An angel getting so close to a foreigner, what kind of thing is that?"
"That foreigner really looks like a demon, but he's completely unaware of it? Or is he doing it on purpose? He just wants to get close to the demon, so he pretends not to notice it when he finds out, and even tries to deceive everyone else? This is too much!"
"He's the least like an angel. He has those dead eyes, a deadpan expression, and he's so obsessed with rules. Which angel is like him? There isn't one!"
"Even the plants he grows have the least mutation. He's not an angel at all, right? How could an angel not be able to cultivate plants with the greatest mutation?"
These words are still considered nice to hear, because the more unpleasant words are completely insulting.
He actually didn't quite understand why this happened, because he had no idea what he had done wrong. If he hadn't done anything wrong, why would those angels reject him?
Just because he's different from them?
But every angel has a unique appearance, and that doesn't necessarily mean all angels are exactly the same. They're all different, so why single him out? Do you think he's easy to pick on? That's unfair.
Nothing in the world is absolutely fair, but why should he be the one to suffer injustice? How could he accept his fate when there wasn't even relative fairness?
Besides, everyone was living in precarious circumstances, so why should he just swallow his anger? Was it because they were more shameless? He didn't think he had done anything wrong.
"I'm a little sad." Joshua lowered his eyes and whispered like a mermaid sitting on the rocks by the sea shedding tears.
Bai Tianming, like a sparrow on a branch, tilted his head to glance at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "What should we do then?"
Joshua blinked and asked in confusion, "Do you hate me?"
"No!" Bai Tianming answered without hesitation.
Joshua was a little happy at this answer, but then he felt down again. "I know I have shortcomings, but I also know that I can't believe what people who hate me say. Everything they say is just to vent their emotions and belittle me."
He asked tentatively in a low voice: "I want to know what you think of me. I want to know what shortcomings I have in your eyes. Can you tell me in the gentlest terms possible?"
Bai Tianming thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Joshua looked at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Bai Tianming blinked and began to speak in a rhythmic manner, "I'm too rule-abiding, so I'm unwilling to be flexible, which makes those who try to exploit loopholes dislike me. I'm too serious, so I don't have any expression, which makes timid people unconsciously alienated. I'm too concerned about punishment, so I often act swiftly, which easily causes harm to those with lower martial arts skills. I'm too stubborn, so I don't easily listen to other people's different opinions..."
Seeing that he was about to continue, Joshua took a deep breath and quickly stopped him: "Enough, enough, that's enough! This is enough for me to think about for a day and a night, no more! If you say more, I won't even be able to rest properly this week!"
Bai Tianming closed his mouth, blinked his eyes, and looked at him obediently.
Joshua lowered his head and sighed, feeling even more depressed and doubtful. "Am I really that bad?"
Bai Tianming shook his head: "You are not bad, you are not hopeless. I have met a very stubborn person.
Even when someone gives him money, flowers, or gifts, or even says "I like you" to his face, he won't admit that they really like him, because he thinks it's impossible for them to like him. So no matter what they do, he assumes there's something else going on, like "You want to find the love of your parents and siblings that you're missing in me," or "You don't understand your own heart at all," or "You'll meet someone better in the future," or "You're just delusional..."
Bai Tianming sneered, "I really don't know if that person is too stupid to realize whether others are telling the truth, or if he's too narcissistic. So even if someone understands the situation better than him but has the opposite opinion, he refuses to admit that they are right. He just blindly believes that he is right. It's ridiculous."
An angry look appeared on his face. "When I was watching, I wanted to rush up, grab that guy by the collar and tell him that things are not what he thinks! But he is such a stubborn person, he won't listen to others. Even if I beat him up, he won't listen! It's just making me angry for no reason!"
Joshua blinked, looking at him with a confused and somewhat guilty expression. Was I really that extreme?
Bai Tianming took a deep breath, turned to Joshua and smiled, his face relieved and very gentle: "You are different, you can really hear what I say! You have to believe in yourself, you are a completely good person!"
