Chapter 149 The Boundary Between Good and Evil
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.
Jiang Chaosheng returned to the shop and saw Zhongshu sitting at the tea table, lost in thought.
What happened at Chimelong Shopping Mall severely damaged his worldview.
There are clearly many good people there, so why are they all rushing to become executioners?
What exactly is the boundary between good and evil?
Zhongshu had some understanding, but couldn't quite grasp it.
The drowsy Li Xinyuan saw Jiang Chaosheng, quickly stood up, and bowed to him.
Jiang Chaosheng nodded, not disturbing Zhongshu's thoughts.
He walked to the counter, sat down, and flipped through a book.
This person rarely shows any emotions.
The fierce battle we just experienced certainly generated a lot of passion.
That passion, however, became dull and tasteless after flying back to the Zero Antique Shop.
Li Xinyuan nudged Zhongshu, who then snapped out of his daze and realized it was Jiang Chaosheng.
He quickly stood up:
"Sir, thank you... thank you for your help."
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Zhongshu.
This kid is a bit of a simpleton.
Zhongshu asked:
"How is Lucifer?"
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at his book and casually replied:
"He's dead."
Zhongshu's eyes revealed admiration:
"Lucifer is right, only you are qualified to save the world."
Jiang Chaosheng was stunned for a moment.
Save the world...
It sounds as if the world is on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Chaosheng's expression quickly returned to normal. He turned to a new page and said:
I am not qualified.
I have no interest in saving the world.
As he spoke, Jiang Chaosheng chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"Even less suitable."
He has very poor empathy.
How could I possibly be a savior who saves the world?
Let those acts of great compassion be left to people like Zhongshu or Li Mingyue.
"Him? Save the world?"
At this moment, the evil crow cawed and laughed from the side:
"He stopped Lucifer not because he liked you, but because you were still useful."
He has no heart; he only divides people into useful and useless.
Do you expect someone like this to save the world?
What terrible things has this world done?
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Xie Ya.
What it says is correct, but there's a bit too much of it.
Zhongshu seemed to be deep in thought, and said softly:
"Keep the useful ones and get rid of the useless ones..."
Zhongshu raised his head and looked at Jiang Chaosheng:
"It was only after I figured this out that I was able to save so many people."
When Chung-shu was at Chimelong Shopping Mall, he killed many troublemakers.
It was precisely because many people were killed that the chaotic scene was brought under control.
But Zhongshu always felt incredibly guilty.
He would always remember the old man that Li Xinyuan had thrown into the lava pit.
The old man cried out that he still had grandchildren to take care of and had a reason not to die.
But who among these people wants to die?
The reason Zhongshu chose to throw the old man into the lava pit was because the old man had also killed someone.
The elderly are more vicious than others.
Whenever he thought of this, Zhongshu felt so suffocated that he could hardly breathe.
My thoughts are getting more and more jumbled...
Zhongshu sighed:
"Sir, Lucifer asked me whether I knew the boundary between good and evil."
I still don't understand what the line between good and evil really is.
Jiang Chaosheng looked at Zhongshu suspiciously:
"The line between good and evil?"
Is this kid kidding me?
Zhongshu nodded seriously.
Jiang Chaosheng then realized that Zhongshu wasn't teasing him.
That kid is just plain stupid.
Jiang Chaosheng put down his book:
"The reason you can keep those people in Chimelong Shopping Mall in check is not because you've figured out anything or understood any principles."
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Li Xinyuan, whose face was full of fatigue:
"You are because of him."
He's a formidable fighter; he can blow everyone's heads off, that's why people are afraid of him.
Through Yang Xiao's grimaces, Jiang Chaosheng learned everything that happened at Chimelong Shopping Mall, and naturally also knew about Zhongshu's process of taking in the Blasphemous Bell.
Zhongshu looked puzzled.
He admitted that it was because of Li Xinyuan's existence that he was able to keep those terrified people obedient.
But... what does this have to do with the boundary between good and evil?
Jiang Chaosheng said leisurely:
"Back in Chimelong Shopping Mall, you were the one who set the line between good and evil."
If you say he is good, then he is good; if you say he is evil, then he is evil.
Zhongshu stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind, so loud that he couldn't hear anything.
Jiang Chaosheng's patience with Zhongshu was almost exhausted, and he asked:
"You're the first to successfully contain it, so tell me, what reward do you want?"
Zhongshu remained silent for a moment:
"Could you give me that bell?"
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Xie Ya.
The crow was utterly shocked:
"That's a blasphemous bell!"
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent.
The crow muttered to itself:
"That's really generous."
The evil crow flapped its wings and flew to the back room.
After a few minutes.
The evil crow used its two claws to grab the three pointers, each about a meter long.
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"You can leave now."
Zhongshu, holding three pointers, bowed and said:
"Thank you, sir."
Looking at Zhongshu's lonely figure, Jiang Chaosheng had a feeling that this kid was going to do something big.
He muttered to himself:
"That's good, everyone in the Forbidden Society has something important to do."
Jiang Chaosheng shook his wrist.
The shadowy figure was thrown off.
The shadowy figure quickly bowed to Jiang Chaosheng.
The shadowy figure quickly bowed to Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng tapped the little man's head:
"Give them a boost of morale."
The shadowy figure is making a solemn salute.
......
Nanhai City, Shentai Biotechnology Company.
This is a key project for World Dream Group this year.
This clearly indicates that World Dream Group is finally moving towards high-tech industries that are not traditional industrial and commercial enterprises.
Shentai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has not yet started formal operations, and has not even recruited researchers. There is still a faint smell of formaldehyde in the building after the renovation.
However, the real key to Shentai Biotechnology Company—the underground research laboratory—had already been activated.
The underground research lab is kept secret; even employees of Shentai Biotechnology Company don't know what it's used for.
All they'll know is that this is a company research secret.
In a massive, technologically advanced white research lab, Liu Weiqian is focused on studying the essence and blood of vampires.
The research on extraordinary beings is a massive undertaking.
Liu Weiqian could delegate some of the scraps from the research project to researchers at the underground research institute.
Those researchers wouldn't know what the underground research institute was studying; at most, they would assume it was researching or cultivating some kind of new bacteria.
In other words, all the researchers recruited by Shentai Biotechnology Company in the future will be Liu Weiqian's assistants.
Xia Li sat in her office, her face somewhat pale.
Because the essence blood that Liu Weiqian studied came from her, the progenitor of vampires.
Suddenly, a smiling shadow appeared on the office wall.
Shirley glanced at the smiling face:
"Yang Xiao? What's up?"
The smiley face transformed into a few crooked words:
"Zhongshu, successfully contained number 0-26, the Blasphemous Bell."
Shirley pursed her lips:
Tell me something I don't know.
She was even planning to take over from Zhongshu to contain the Blasphemous Bell, but in the end, she never expected that the kid would actually do it.
Shadowed font:
"Reward received: The Bell of Blasphemy!"
Xia Li's hand holding the coffee trembled, and the scalding coffee spilled onto her white sleeve.
But she didn't care.
Shirley's pupils trembled:
"A direct reward... the Bell of Blasphemy?"
No, I must talk to the master and ask him to let me keep the next forbidden item!
......
South Sea City, Twilight Bar.
This bar has only been open for a short time, but it's already packed with customers.
There are two reasons.
First, the bar implements a "mask system," requiring everyone entering the bar to wear a mask.
This sense of novelty and mystery attracts the attention of young urbanites.
Secondly, the bar was co-founded by several glamorous and beautiful women.
Every midnight, a female proprietress would perform a bold and energetic dance on stage.
Countless people come here because of the beautiful reputation of the proprietresses.
The first floor of Twilight Bar features a dance floor and open seating area, the second floor has private rooms, and the third floor is a private area.
.....
At this moment, on the third floor.
The room was huge and dimly lit, like a super luxurious karaoke room.
The walls are covered with images of various subcultural myths.
Five women, each with a different style but all wearing masks and possessing alluring and sexy figures, sat on the sofa in seductive poses.
"Sister, the Witch's Guild is still missing two sisters. We need to find them quickly so that we can have some fun."
I think Rose from the mutual aid group is pretty good.
A woman dressed scantily clad, with a slender figure and wearing a black fox mask, said while fixing her nails:
"I'm tired of seeing you withered flowers and fallen willows every day, even if I, Lord of Dusk, am not tired of it."
This is a witch who recently joined the Witch Guild.
The arrogant witch, tall and with long legs, threw the water bottle at the witch.
"You shameless hussy, seeing you makes me forget all about others. Can't you see your sister is thinking about something?"
The witch rolled her eyes at them and stood up:
"Okay, okay, I hate it the most, I'm going out to dance."
"Absorb more yang energy so I can feed my master well at dusk, hehe."
The older sister the witches were talking about was none other than the succubus Jin Meiting, who called herself the Jealous Witch.
Although she and the others all called themselves witches, she was the strongest in combat and could be considered the progenitor of witches.
Jin Meiting suddenly sensed something and abruptly looked at the wall in front of her.
The witches followed Jin Meiting's gaze, and even the witch who was about to walk out the door was drawn in.
A smiling shadow appeared on the wall, followed by a few crooked words:
Good evening, beauties!
Jin Meiting said coquettishly:
"Did you come to see me, or to see these younger sisters?"
The witches stared in astonishment at the smiling shadow.
They were not afraid, because they had already heard about it:
The Lord of Twilight has a shadow messenger by his side who is highly skilled and deeply loved by Twilight.
However, these two sisters, the Arrogant Witch and the Witch, who joined the Witch Guild later, have not yet met.
Shadow text:
"I have some news to share."
Shadow text:
"Zhongshu successfully contained the 0-26 Blasphemous Bells."
Jin Meiting frowned.
Zhongshu, you're that strong? You already have the ability to independently contain forbidden objects?
Shadow text:
"Zhongshu has received his reward—the Blasphemous Bell!"
Jin Meiting's beautiful eyes widened suddenly.
Shadow text:
"I'm leaving. You guys continue."
