Chapter 154: Selfishness
Personally, Locho didn't approve of Nero being a member of the club because Nero had his spiritual seed in his body.
Possibly, Locho didn't want Nero's vision to be lost like this.
However, based on the club's most basic trading principles...... Since the guest has made a request, the transaction will be triggered if the price is affordable.
There will be endless dealings, willingly or unwillingly, but the power has reached that point – it will never change.
This may be part of the lost freedom...... A feeling of being involuntarily.
Luo Qiu knew that it might be soon, it might be too late, but it was bound to come—most likely, he would become like his predecessor, and he would eventually lose interest in everything.
Just like the club's motto, what you want to get, you just have to give.
It will become an eternal agent of the Root in the infinite time and space, and it will also become a puppet under the will of the Root...... It's equivalent, right?
Nero's request was approved by the Altar - in fact, every transaction would be approved by the Altar, and the heaviest contract would appear.
The power of the contract comes from the altar, and Luo Qiu is only a witness and executor.
......
Nero's greatest wish was to be alive – in the club, patrons were involuntarily amplified with their most original thoughts.
You may be strong enough and strong enough to resist...... But you'll be motivated because you've been here long enough and because you've made enough trades...... Because you have been on a path of no return from the very beginning.
She just seemed to want to live, one way or another.
But the requirements to live can be great - it can live to be old and to eternity.
Obviously, the price of eternity is great, almost immeasurable...... But there seem to be ways to do it - for example, the path to becoming a Black Soul Emissary.
Perhaps that's what Nero was thinking at this point.
"You will lose your freedom, your body, your will, will no longer belong to you. Your life, your death, henceforth, will only be in a thought, and you cannot betray my will. And, in the course of your mission, you may also encounter a potentially fatal situation...... Would you like to do so?"
This is a transaction, unlike the transformation of Dazhe, who first became the property of the club and was transformed by Luoqiu, and did not have the right to choose.
At this time, both Dazhe and Taiyinzi were silently watching Nero - because Nero was likely to become their kind in a few minutes.
"Boss, is it really good for you to do this business?" Nero looked at Luo Qiu's eyes at this time, "Aren't you afraid that the guests will not be willing?"
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "If you make it clear, there won't be too much argument in the future." Moreover, the choice is always in the hands of the guest. ”
Nero said indifferently: "But, the better is always on your side, isn't it." Despite the so-called right to choose...... But where better could there be?"
Looking at the parchment scroll slowly floating in front of her, Nero easily imprinted her palm on it, and she whispered, "I don't want to hurt like this anymore." ”
The process of transformation is very simple, and with the power of the club, the transformation process does not even take ten seconds.
Nero gave up the human body and obtained a body made of the source of the alien.
The scars on her body disappeared in this moment, and she looked at her new body, feeling the relief of everything she had done before—even without drugs...... It doesn't hurt anymore.
- It doesn't hurt anymore, the pain is gone.
The voices of his parents as a child suddenly flashed through Nero's mind.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore. ”
Nero looked at Luo Qiu and smiled.
Luo Qiu saw a tear slowly flowing from under her eyes. It was the first time Luo Qiu had seen Nero's smile like this.
Not cruel, not indifferent, not hideous or frivolous, no malice and bad intentions, just a very ordinary, ordinary smile.
So ordinary.
......
......
With the addition of a new Dark Soul Emissary, Miss Maid was not too surprised—not even, not in any way that it was Nero.
In the past hundreds of years, Miss Maid has long been accustomed to witnessing one illustrious person after another become the Dark Soul Emissary, and watching them die again in various difficult missions.
Miss Maid's mood even seemed to be very good - when Boss Luo finished transforming Nero and went back to the study again, Taiyin Zi was surprised to find that she might not die?
The Black Soul Emissary is under the management of Miss Maid...... At this time, the maid was carefully explaining to Nero the work of the Black Soul Emissary.
"First, it is not permissible to use coercive means to force customers to make a transaction, but it is allowed to use inducement methods. ”
Nero shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Second, we have no real enemies, and every guest who comes here, even if he is something you hate, must maintain the most basic respect for the customer. ”
Nero shrugged his shoulders indifferently, indicating that he knew.
"Thirdly, the master is our everything, and any thought of betraying the master is not allowed, especially not to be promiscuous, and to put on clothes as soon as possible after bathing. ”
Nero...... Nero opened his mouth in a matter-of-fact manner, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Education is still ongoing, and it seems that it will take some time.
......
......
The underground medical room of Wolong Villa.
Mo Mo would come to visit Zhan'er almost once a day - at this time, Wolong Villa only left two logistics staff and one medical staff.
Zhan'er's current situation cannot be transferred...... Thankfully, Wolong Villa was built with great care, and its self-sufficiency was able to sustain itself - as for the dense fog, it was blocked by the barrier released by the Authority.
This allows the use of medical equipment here.
If this barrier could be moved, it wouldn't stay here, but would be used to move in the current fog, right?
Maybe it was too boring to stay here, and the nurse who had been ordered to stay behind began to clean up at this time—for example, she was going to take Zhan'er's changed clothes and wash them.
There was still blood on the clothes, which she had taken off during the treatment, and then put them in a corner, and she ignored them - when she picked them up, something suddenly fell out of them.
It's a little rattle.
"This rattle ......"
The sound of the rattle landing caught Momo's attention, and he walked up to the nurse, picked up the rattle on the ground, and subconsciously shook it twice.
The crisp sound seems to have a strange magic that calms people's minds.
"Mr. Momo, the things haven't been broken, have they?" the little nurse girl looked at Momo with some uneasiness at this time—she naturally knew who was staying in Wolong Villa.
This unsightly rattle may be something like the magic weapon of those Daoists who flew away from the sky...... If it breaks, she can't afford to pay for it.
"No, it's fine. Momo smiled, "You go get busy." ”
The little nurse girl walked away quickly with a worried face...... Mo Mo looked at Zhan'er's sleeping appearance through the glass at this time, and was a little helpless, "You have been carrying this thing all along. ”
This is the first day Mo Mo stayed in Wolong Villa, and the contemporary cloth cloth Taoist successor Lai Caisheng got from him—or rather, this is Lai Caisheng.
Mo Mo didn't expect that Zhan'er would always carry this rattle...... Momo shook his head, took the rattle in his hand, and walked out of the medical room.
There's also a support staff here, so there's no one watching.
Thanks to the existence of the enchantment, the interior of Wolong Villa will not be covered by dense fog...... Just looking out from the courtyard, Wolong Villa looks like a small world isolated in the thick fog.
The fog was so thick that the villa was so dark that if you didn't look at the time, you couldn't even tell whether it was morning or afternoon - but Mo Mo didn't expect that at this time, he would encounter a ...... who was setting off a huge wave outside The mysterious man with the bronze mask!
It was in the same courtyard that Bu Yidao held.
Momo didn't even know when the other party had arrived and how they had passed through the barrier...... At this time, the bronze masked man stood in the courtyard and looked up at a plane tree in the courtyard.
Momo's heart was terrified at this time...... The only two remaining logistics personnel in the villa naturally can't be counted on.
He was the only one left.
And the only thing that can make Mo Mo a little confident is that after returning to the villa again, his luggage has also been recovered, and the magic weapons and talisman seals of Longhu Mountain have been recovered, so that he will not only be able to fight hand-to-hand.
He secretly clasped a powerful talisman in his hand and walked into the courtyard...... Momo had a feeling that the bronze masked man had come to look for him.
"Tianxin Seventy-One!You even dare to break into Wolong Villa!" Mo Mo rushed into the courtyard, and the nameless black wooden sword pointed at him, and said angrily: "What do you want to do!"
"Your companion, it's all right. The bronze masked man turned around, looked at Momo, and said indifferently: "I heard that he picked up a life, right?" ”
Mo Mo gritted his teeth, "It's all because of you that Zhan'er ...... Damn!"
"As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. Of course, the Bronze Masked Man said at this moment: "He is like this, and so are you." This proves that your lives are strong...... But just because you have a strong life doesn't mean you can squander it unscrupulously. You may be able to see a new world, so why not cherish it. ”
"Cherish?" Momo sneered, "On that day, if you hadn't been rescued, then ...... So many Dao realm seniors, demon clan masters, have they become victims? For your own selfish desires, do you have to bury the lives of many people? Or if you can't survive, shouldn't you stay...... On what basis do you decide?!"
"Those who have always achieved great things must have sacrifices. The bronze masked man said indifferently: "In ancient times, in order to maintain their vitality, the weak tribes would send the old and weak tribesmen away and abandon them, in order to leave more food for future generations, which is also a reason. In the long years, they have already exhausted their potential, and even if the aura recovers, it is impossible to break through the current self. To this end, they pin their hopes on those who still have potential, and are willing to sacrifice themselves...... In your opinion, it's just selfishness. ”
"They...... Is it voluntary?" Momo opened his mouth in surprise.
"You don't know. The bronze mask said: "Unable to go further in pain, you don't know that Shou Yuan will die without approaching despair." You haven't seen it yet, the road is still there, but it is completely blocked. After a hundred years of cultivation, it was all empty, and the penance of a few Jiazi was exhausted until the potential was exhausted, hovering on the edge of despair, and the days passed mercilessly day by day. These, you know?"
Accompanied by the voice of the bronze masked man, Momo actually saw pictures in front of him.
One by one, in despair, they chose to end themselves as cultivators......
One by one, the demon clan roared in grief and indignation......
Hate hate hate!
Kill, kill, kill!
I don't know how long, maybe it was just a moment, Mo Mo only felt a cold sweat...... The endless resentment and pain seemed to penetrate the depths of his soul.
The black wooden sword fell to the ground unsteadily, and Mo Mo fell to his knees with weak legs...... Fall to your knees in the midst of endless unwillingness, anger and despair...... Those who have been lost in despair since the fairy road was blocked.
It wasn't until the sound of the rattle suddenly sounded that it was like a lightning bolt that broke through this resentment, and Momo's mind was withdrawn from the horror.
He gasped for breath and looked at the bronze masked man in front of him...... In his hand, he didn't know when he actually held the rattle.
"Whether it's the Dao Realm or the Demon Realm, it seems peaceful. The Bronze Masked Man said slowly, "But how many of them are turbulent, you may not be aware of them...... It is accumulating, this despair is accumulating all the time, and this repression is increasing day by day. When that day comes when it can't stand it anymore, when it can't suppress it anymore, madness will follow, maybe really to the extreme. Do you know why the Authority was established after the establishment of the new country?"
Mo Mo shook his head blankly.
"Because it's even crazier. The bronze masked man said indifferently: "The Taoist who used the life of a mortal to break through this shackle in private, the demon clan has long been even more crazy...... They become more secretive, and their methods become more frantic and extreme. If you can't absorb the aura of heaven and earth, then absorb the essence of the living. The quiet inaction of Taoism has long disappeared, and behind his back, he has more or less turned into the devil and become a devil who swallows people. It was like a plague, quietly spreading to the Dao and Demon Realms. We have only two destinies, to die in madness, or to find a new breakthrough...... And if this breakthrough is not found, then there will only be a demise of madness and madness, and it will even sweep the entire mortal world. ”
"How could it be ......?"
"You should be rejoicing. The Bronze Masked Man walked over to Momo, "glad they chose sacrifice rather than madness...... Thankfully, they are willing to open a way for you to live, leaving hope for you. ”
Momo looked up at him.
I saw him slowly take off the bronze mask on his face, "In this way, do you still think that we are only for our own selfishness?" ”
Momo's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's you!"
What is in front of me is ...... Lai Caisheng.
