Chapter 120 Self-deception
After walking a hundred meters past the intersection, the tense atmosphere finally relaxed.
Wang Mianmian said: "It seems that this family is not bad."
Yu Jiuye smiled and said, "It's hard to say. We have more people on our side. They either have to be good people or keep their lives."
The hound laughed and said, "You make it sound like we are some bad guys who kill people without blinking an eye. That's not the case."
The dormitory head said, "But he is right."
Soon, she showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, you mean, we should stand on the moral high ground, right?"
"We are definitely good people. If there is a conflict, it is definitely not our fault. We are not wrong."
The little ghost said in confusion: "Isn't that right? If they didn't provoke us, we would definitely not do anything."
Qin Mengmeng almost died of laughter.
She looked around silently, trying two things at once: listening to a few people's irrelevant chatter while paying attention to the silence around her to see if there was any strange malice lurking in the quiet houses.
Wang Mianmian said: "Come to think of it, wasn't it said that they were a family of three? Why are there only the mother and son? Where is the father?"
"They hid themselves, probably." Yu Jiuye said, "They hid themselves to prepare for a surprise attack, or to prepare to ambush them during the battle. To be honest, I think it's more likely that they were there as a backup force."
"Generally speaking, a family of three can be considered reliable even if they are ghosts."
Qin Mengmeng said casually: "The probability of a general situation happening is not 100%. In our daily lives, we mainly guard against low-probability events."
Wang Mianmian agreed and said, "That's true."
In any case, it is better to be cautious.
"But at the moment, it seems that they are still relatively friendly." Wang Mianmian said, "They are not the kind of people who cannot communicate or make unreasonable demands and must go to the point of fighting."
The dormitory head said gloomily, “Yes.”
She wasn't actually very happy with the situation.
This is a militant in the making.
"It seems that their situation is similar to ours. They are in a situation where they are afraid of both sides." The Hound pushed his glasses and said, "This is also normal. A place like the underworld is simply a breeding ground for poisonous insects. The way they become stronger means that there will definitely be no good social order among them."
"The situation here is just like... a dark forest."
Wang Mianmian nodded in agreement.
Yu Jiuye looked confused: "What is the Dark Forest???"
Qin Mengmeng smiled and said, "To put it simply, it's a society where no one can trust each other and must treat all living things around them as enemies. Have you ever played the game of Chicken? Or raised a Gu?"
Yu Jiuye scratched his head: "Isn't this just a very ordinary real society?"
Wang Mianmian: “…”
She feels that real society is still very friendly.
But obviously, a Kyoto noble born in a peaceful country and a poor killer born in a turbulent small country would not have any resonance on this issue.
Yu Jiuye asked in confusion: "Isn't it just that people become stronger by eating other people? How is this different from the real world?"
The hound mediated and said, "It's OK, it's OK, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."
"Shh-"
Qin Mengmeng, who was walking in front, suddenly said, "Silence."
Before they knew it, they had reached the middle of Ping'an Street, less than two hundred meters away from the entrance of the Second People's Hospital.
But this was also one of the two levels that 47 had specifically warned about.
The entrance of Anle Community.
47 said that there would be an old lady who collects rags here.
At that time, the little bear passed by here and it took a lot of effort.
But Qin Mengmeng judged that this place would be more dangerous and the possibility of a conflict breaking out was greater than before, and it was not simply because of 47's description.
It's more because of identity.
Parents with children usually won't rashly choose to fight for their children's safety. But single people, whether men or women, old or young, lack restraints and shackles, and will do whatever they want even in the real world, let alone in the underworld where there is no law or order...
A lone wolf is sometimes scarier than a pack of wolves.
Qin Mengmeng turned her gaze and looked across the street calmly.
Across the street, next to a huge rock with four large running script characters "Anle Community" engraved on it, a dirty shadow was curled up. Under the moonlight, her hair was black and white, covering her face.
Qin Mengmeng withdrew her gaze.
As she continued to move forward, she saw a flash of black light suddenly in front of her eyes. The next moment, when she looked carefully, Qin Mengmeng saw that the little ghost had blocked her way, with his right hand around the old woman's neck, holding her firmly in front of him.
The old man's face was covered with layers of hanging skin and flesh, nearly covering his eyes, nose and lips, and when you looked closely, only the hanging skin could be seen.
Qin Mengmeng didn’t care at all about the death that flashed by just now. She just looked at the other person’s face and sighed in her heart.
This is time.
Such an old man must have been young and beautiful when he was young, but after a hundred years, he has become so old and dilapidated.
The little ghost looked down in confusion and asked, "We didn't offend you, did we?"
The dormitory head stood aside, with his hands on his hips and sneered: "Doesn't she have the right to do anything if you haven't offended her? Haven't you seen a bad guy?"
The little ghost suddenly realized: "It's a bad guy!"
Then it doesn't matter.
How could anyone resist the temptation to enforce justice?
Just as quickly as the opponent attacked, a black mist burst out in front of Qin Mengmeng, then floated towards the little ghost and merged into his body.
The dormitory head shouted, "Leave some for me!"
This scene was so much like a sale at a shopping mall where everyone was scrambling to grab things. Qin Mengmeng couldn't help but reached out to grab them.
【Congratulations to the anchor for gaining 200 units of resentment. 】
【Congratulations to the anchor for gaining 200 units of resentment. 】
…
The system was very powerful. Under the nose of the dormitory head, it managed to collect 400 grievances for Qin Mengmeng.
Although Qin Mengmeng still hasn't figured out what this thing is used for, it's better to have it than not... right?
Qin Mengmeng waved her hand, and saw the dormitory head holding a wisp of black air in his hand, floating towards Wang Mianmian. Wang Mianmian was very surprised: "What is he going to do?"
The dormitory head said enthusiastically, "Anyone who sees it gets a share, little bear, do you want to have a bite?"
The doll screamed, "No, no, no."
[Bear Doll: If Lin likes this, that would be great, but I really don’t need it. Thank you.]
The dormitory head didn’t quite understand.
How could any ghost resist becoming stronger and eating?
But since the other party didn't need it, she just politely responded and quickly swept away the remaining black energy.
Wang Mianmian clapped and said, "That's amazing!"
Both high school students smiled smugly.
No high school student can resist a sincere compliment.
Yu Jiuye also said: "If I had known you were so powerful, why would I be so cautious and just push through smoothly."
Qin Mengmeng smiled and said, "If it can be resolved peacefully, we must resolve it peacefully. What if we can't push it forward? What if we lose the fight?"
"Besides, even if you win and push all the way through, then what? What are you going to do next?"
“Then…” Yu Jiuye thought about it, shrugged his shoulders, and stopped talking.
The Hound said, "Simply put, peace instead of war."
"Just be a good kid." The dormitory head said unhappily.
Qin Mengmeng said: "That's not the case. The definition of a good kid is too broad."
"But like the mother and child we met at the intersection just now." Qin Mengmeng said, "They looked very scared, and they didn't attack us. Can you really kill them without any guilt?"
Yu Jiuye said depressedly: "They stole our drone."
Wang Mianmian comforted him: "I'll go back and buy you a new one. Don't bother with them. They are very pitiful."
Qin Mengmeng glanced at everyone's expressions. Xiao Gui and Wang Mianmian were so sympathetic that they didn't know what was going on. Yu Jiuye was just depressed, and even the dormitory head looked reluctant.
Only the Hound had a calm expression, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He met Qin Mengmeng's gaze and simply said, "I think you are right, Sister Meng."
Qin Mengmeng smiled and said nothing.
She saw that several lights were turned off in several buildings in Anle Community.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go to the Second Hospital."
Qin Mengmeng said gently: "Xiao Xiong, we will be able to get to the hospital soon. Now you can tell us what you want us to do, right?"
【Little Bear: Well, I think... you can just turn off the power of the hospital. 】
Qin Mengmeng stopped.
"that's all?"
【Little Bear: That’s it. It will only take ten minutes. Then you can restart it.】
Qin Mengmeng didn't expect that she would make such a request.
Until the last moment, she did not directly state her situation, but wanted to achieve her goal in this tactful way.
Is it because she thinks that no one will guess her true purpose...
Qin Mengmeng sighed softly.
No, as early as yesterday, when 47 and she just wanted to hide her going to the Second Hospital, just thinking that she was unable to move, someone had already guessed her identity and purpose.
What state is she in and what kind of things does she want to do.
There are really a lot of smart people in this world.
Although there are a lot of idiots... Little Bear is not a idiot, she is just young. What's more, there is a 47 who seems to be much older and has more social experience by her side.
Xiao Xiong and 47 can see all the comments.
All communications and exchanges in the live broadcast room are open to the public screen.
At that time, they did not respond to anyone's speculation.
Qin Mengmeng has figured out why they did this. Are they trying to cover up their mistakes?
Yes.
But it’s not that they covered their ears and pretended that they hadn’t been exposed, pretending that they could really hide it from everyone in the live broadcast room and Qin Mengmeng herself.
But... I hope that the audience in the live broadcast room and Qin Mengmeng herself can turn a blind eye and pretend that they don't know anything, pretend that they really just turned off the power of the hospital temporarily, instead of... murdering their friends.
How thoughtful.
I was just asked to turn off the power for ten minutes.
Such a simple thing, such an easy thing, no one would carry any moral burden for it, after all, it's just... being deceived.
I was being scammed and I didn't know it at the time.
You can explain it this way when the time comes.
This will make Qin Mengmeng feel much better.
Qin Mengmeng closed her eyes slightly and sighed, "Little Bear, but I'm not someone who likes to deceive myself."
