Heart dies and the Tao is born
"You are so good at pretending, how could you not do it?" Su Liu said with a smile.
"Su Liu, what's wrong with you? There's something wrong with you," Boss Lou held Su Liu's face and looked into her eyes seriously.
It seemed that after Su Liu learned that Qi Fengling did not die of natural causes but was murdered, that strange feeling began to appear.
——Su Liu beat Lu Qi personally and called Lu Liang’s brother a bitch. This was not something he would do before.
Su Liu lowered her eyes in silence.
After a long time.
He whispered, "He knew about this, too. If it hurt so much, it's impossible that he didn't feel anything at all. But he lied to me, saying he didn't know. He ended up here after sleeping..."
As she spoke, Su Liu raised her eyes slightly and looked at Boss Lou.
Boss Lou was like a child who had done something wrong and asked Qi Fengling to clean up his mess.
Qi Fengling had been trapped in Boss Lou's body for so long, and was faced with this situation as soon as he was released. He was obviously not used to it.
"...Su Liu, it doesn't hurt anymore," Qi Fengling used his mouth to catch Su Liu's tears.
Su Liu's eyes were sad, but his voice was cold. "They should be thankful for dying so easily. If I had known that day, I would have made them feel a life worse than death. I would have made them suffer as much as I did, only then would I be able to apologize!"
Yes, before Su Liu connected Qi Fengling's death to those people, those people were killed by the way of heaven.
Killing Su Liu's adopted husband is no different from seeking death because of being tired of living.
Not long after Qi Fengling's death, three consecutive earthquakes occurred in the country where those people belonged, which not only took their lives, but also uprooted the experimental base they had secretly built.
At that time, there were rumors that Su Liu had released secret weapons into their country. Su Liu felt puzzled. Why was he blamed for such a thing? He must be sick.
Now that I think about it, it was definitely his subconscious that did it.
"I'm sorry," Su Liu said while hugging Qi Fengling.
I'm sorry for not protecting you the first time.
I'm sorry I didn't avenge you properly.
I'm sorry, I have seen the future in the long river of time and accepted that future. From that moment on, I can no longer reverse the situation and pull the timeline back to the past.
I'm sorry, when you died, I wasn't sad at all and I didn't even give you a hug.
I'm sorry, I can stand clearly outside of cause and effect and save others, but I can't save you.
I'm sorry for not digging up your grave and throwing the dirty urn of your enemy out of your territory.
I'm sorry, I didn't know it was such a sad story. When you were picky and said you liked the sandalwood scent, I actually laughed with you.
I'm sorry, I'm so willful and always break up with you.
"If I tell you, will you transform into a demon king for me?" Qi Fengling asked softly in Su Liu's ear.
"I am the Demon King, but I have been suppressing my desire to kill," Su Liu said, "I want to destroy the world and let all humans be buried with me."
"Su Liu, do you admit defeat? I am the sacrifice they carefully selected. If you kill me, you will lose control, and that's what they want. They don't have complete souls, and it's impossible for them to go to the new world through ascension. If you destroy the world, they can stay on that continent and indulge in pleasure for many years in human skin," Qi Fengling's voice was still very light.
"I now finally understand what 'Heaven is impartial' means. As long as people are in this world, it is difficult for them to have no preferences. If there are preferences, there will be discrimination. If there is discrimination, there will be hatred. If there is hatred, there will be no compassion. Gods without compassion are nothing but demons and monsters. They want me to completely fall into evil and be used by them... No wonder I didn't know about this all along. Everyone kept it from me, everyone was lying to me, and they said it was an accident... I actually believed it..." Su Liu leaned on Qi Fengling's shoulder, with a dazed look in her eyes.
"But I am still by your side now. I am not dead. Everything is the best arrangement." Qi Fengling turned his head to look at Su Liu with a gentle smile on his lips.
"You shouldn't have said you were mine in the first place," Su Liu wiped her tears onto Qi Fengling's clothes and couldn't help complaining.
He had just heard a few days ago that Qi Fengling had spread rumors that they were having an affair, and the first reaction that flashed through his mind was that Qi Fengling's death might not be that simple.
I didn't expect it to be true.
The thing he was most worried about finally happened.
"But your identity is very useful," Qi Fengling said, lightly pecking Su Liu's tearful lips.
"If I had known you would die for me, I would have married you immediately," Su Liu said with mixed feelings.
"Su Liu, you are free. I am very touched that you are willing to be sad for me. I don't want you to do something irrational on impulse. Do you save those people because you hope to get something from them?" Qi Fengling sighed.
Su Liu is certainly not the kind of person who repays a favor with a favor. He saved people just because he happened to see their fate. Compared with their good deeds, he thought that such bad consequences were not worthy of them.
He hopes that they can still embrace freedom after being reborn.
Whether it's Xun Ruozhang, Ji Lian, Lian Gufeng, or Yu Tu...
He hoped that when he left this world, they would not remember him.
He hopes that the world can be so beautiful that there is no need for a savior.
He hopes that kind people can embrace happiness without paying a heavy price.
He hopes that everyone can live freely and healthily, without being shackled or infected by any demons, ghosts, enemies or creditors.
In the end, he hoped that the creature that crawled out of the suffering would not be a devil, but a merciful god.
He... doesn't want to be a demon king.
He doesn't want to give up.
"...The villain organization 'Dawn of Tomorrow' should be similar to the unfilial people in my world when choosing sacrifices. In order to challenge my authority, they obviously picked such a person. This store owner seems to have an ordinary background and no powerful backing, but because of his good character, he has some popular support. He is the kind of sacrifice that can shake the society's beliefs and give the powerful a slap in the face without causing a tsunami." After venting the emotions that had been accumulated for many days, Su Liu quickly analyzed the current situation.
This top-level sacrifice is a loud slap in the face at this window of reform.
If Su Liu cannot handle this matter properly, it will be impossible to implement the provincial-county system in the future.
The people are not fools. His Majesty the new king is unwilling to investigate even this obvious injustice, and is promoting a provincial and county system that has never been heard of. Isn't he just trying to use different means to continue exploiting them and want to take their lives?
Haha, if you stick your head out, you will be cut by the knife. If you hide your head, you will be cut by the knife too. Why don’t we rebel together!
This is the ultimate goal of "The Dawn of Tomorrow".
It is also their usual tactic to win people's hearts and minds.
On the one hand, they undermined cohesion and shook public sentiment; on the other hand, they united with the powerful to put pressure on him, and even found some small handles to threaten him, so that he would shut up.
If he was the former king, he might have been controlled by these bastards.
After all, the previous king was very concerned about his reputation.
They also pay attention to their own majestic image in the eyes of the people.
But he, Su Liu, is not.
At worst, he can admit that he is indeed the Demon King. What's wrong with that?
The devil can't be king?
Or does it mean that a savior cannot have horns?
He never said that the purpose of his reforms was to redefine power and wealth, or to divide up land and resources in various ways like rats.
He has only one purpose, which is to achieve enlightenment, so that he can free up time to ascend to a higher dimension and realize a harmonious society.
Today he heard the common people of Xiucheng scolding him so harshly, saying that he was protecting Lu Qi and was a tyrant. There were also some people from "The Dawn of Tomorrow" mixed in and scolded him as a whore. He knew it all clearly.
The fact that they were willing to scold him showed that he was right to lock up Lu Qi and the others.
If he doesn't care about anything, people won't just scold him.
When people are forced into desperate situations, they can do anything.
After all, they had indeed secretly raised funds and planned to hire someone to kill Lu Qi.
At this time, there was a noise outside the yard.
The news from Su Liu and others finally came.
Do you think he would let those people from "Coming Dawn" go so easily?
Is he that naive?
"...Two people died in the dungeon." Lin Su visited late at night.
Su Liu pretended to be confused. "Someone is visiting the prison? What's wrong with you? They haven't explained everything clearly yet, and you let someone in to visit? I didn't say a word, and you made such a stupid mistake. How can you be so stupid that you need me to teach you everything?"
Lin Su smiled. "Your Majesty, there's no need to act like that in front of me. The two people who died were from 'The Dawn of Tomorrow'. They were specifically responsible for infiltrating the children of the powerful and wealthy, giving them advice and stirring up trouble. You know that, don't you?"
Su Liu knew, of course. He'd watched the revelations of those twelve hours very carefully, even using the timer. Of all the lackeys and flirtatious women around Lu Qi, there weren't only two from Dawn of Tomorrow; a conservative estimate was at least five.
Among the five people, two were involved in the store owner incident and three were suspected of the Yu Tu case.
Su Liu ignored the three people because the two people involved in the store owner incident had evidence against the three people. As long as he caught those two people, the other three people would definitely find ways to kill their companions.
Su Liu and Lin Suxu were coaxing each other, "I have no connection with this organization. Since you are familiar with it, you should come forward and bring the murderer to justice."
Since Lin Da's death, the remnant of "The Dawn of Tomorrow" has split into several factions. The two largest factions, one followed Lin Miao, and the other was controlled by Lin Su.
The remaining scattered factions are the "unstable factors" that are most difficult to control for the "Dawn of Tomorrow" organization. They are intricately intertwined and closely linked to the fate of all kinds of powerful people. They are spread all over the place, like tangled tree roots, weak yet strong.
Lin Su looked at Su Liu deeply, bowed and took his leave.
After she left.
Ji Lian, who was serving on the side, sat down and drank tea with Su Liu.
"That shop owner is also pitiful. Those people dumped his body into the shop openly and walked away with a swagger and a smile. It's really hateful. No wonder passers-by thought they were bandits. They rushed into the shop in broad daylight to kill people and rob money, and they were so fearless. Later... the guys in the shop said that the shop owner was forced to go out for a drink the night before. He didn't come back all night. When they opened the door for business in the morning, several burly men came in carrying the boss's body. They said that the boss accidentally bumped into the knife and died of excessive blood loss. The boss had a bad life and was a short-lived ghost. What does it have to do with others... Is this what human talk is? They lie without even thinking, and they are too lazy to even pretend." Ji Lian, who has learned martial arts, seems to have learned something more than before and began to talk about business.
Su Liu was very happy to see these Omegas rise. He took a sip of tea with interest and encouraged, "So what do you think is going on?"
