Chapter 457: Dialogue of Destiny (16,000-word chapter!)(1/4)
The truth is often cruel, wrapping the rotten essence in the sugar coat of lies.
Li Chenxi had already understood this cruel truth when she was three years old.
The bad people who exiled her to an uninhabited island did not know that a three-year-old girl, who was born with intelligence, had been pretending to be in a coma, and had their crimes seen from beginning to end.
The isolated island left in the sea does not actually exist in the human world, but is in a trial place. It is just a trial place that is extremely difficult and used to train newbies, but it is like hell for a three-year-old child.
And in this trial land, the isolated island where she is is not the only one. There are thousands of similar isolated islands in the trial land.
Therefore, she was not the only child exiled to the isolated island at that time. Maybe hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, but these children have one thing in common: they are all orphans.
This plan to place thousands of orphans on an island of beasts in the trial land, leaving them alone and fend for themselves, and screen talents in such an extreme way is called the "orphan plan".
When the "Orphan Project" was launched, her only relative's mother died of illness. Although she was a child of the Li family, she was just a marginal clan. Therefore, she was unfortunately chosen as the goal of the plan by the executor who was eager to gather the number of people.
The most ironic thing is that the Li family was the power to start this plan. The original purpose was to cultivate a group of "excellent" killers. If a three or four-year-old child can survive alone in an isolated island where crises are everywhere, the "perversion" of his ability and will can be imagined. No matter how many children are sacrificed, as long as he can leave more than a dozen or even a few excellent seedlings, it is worth it. Who said that these children are just orphans who are purchased at a cheap price or even adopted for free?
However, things went against my wishes, and the plan was still a little too whimsical. After three years of being placed, when the Li family was preparing to "harvest", they found that among the thousands of orphans, only a six-year-old girl survived.
But the proposer of Ling Jihua, the old patriarch of the Li family, was very happy that the six-year-old girl was actually from the Li family. Although she was just a child of a side tribe, the little girl who was "accidentally" classified as an orphan plan did indeed flow with blood belonging to the Li family.
As the only survivor, the little girl's value is far higher than previous estimates, and having the blood of the Li family has caused a qualitative change in her fate.
After a little test of the results of the little girl's three years of survival in the island, the old patriarch seemed to have seen the more glorious future of the Li family in her.
The follow-up plan to raise the little girl into a killer was immediately overturned, and the old patriarch even adopted the little girl on the spot and claimed to have found the lost grandson.
Perhaps it was a whim, or perhaps it was a desperate bet because the offspring was too mediocre. After thinking hard for a long time, the old patriarch decided to train this little girl who could survive alone in the isolated island for three years as her successor, and even deceived her gender from the outside world.
The above is the cruel truth, and it is also the truth that Li Chenxi has always known.
But the old patriarch, who mistakenly thought that the orphan plan was implemented seamlessly, did not know that the little girl had already known the truth. The lie he carefully woven was a gorgeous "sugar coat" wrapped in the rotten truth.
The "reapers" sent to the isolated island disguised themselves as rescuers, claiming that her encounter was the black hand of the hostile forces of the Li family. They had never given up on searching for her and searching for her. After three years, they finally found her.
The old patriarch told her in tears that her father was actually his illegitimate son, while she was his granddaughter. Then he explained that the heirs in the family were all mediocre people, and hoped that she would dress up as a man and work hard to succeed the next generation of patriarchs.
At the age of six, she could only watch the old patriarch's exaggerated performance expressionlessly, and sneered silently in her heart.
If she didn't know the truth, she might be grateful to the old patriarch and the Li family and become the most loyal tribe member of the Li family.
However, even after she was six years old, she was treated as a heir to the Li family, and the old patriarch treated her like a granddaughter, giving her an enviable environment for growth, and she still would not let go of her vigilance.
Because she knew very well that all this was just an illusion that would be shattered at any time.
If she doesn't work hard enough, her talent is not strong enough, and she cannot show the value of a "successor", then everything she has now will be gone, and the old patriarch will put away all his kindness and kindness.
Fortunately, she worked harder than anyone else without distraction, and her talent was unprecedented. Her value far exceeded the expectations of the old patriarch.
The introverted personality that she has created after living in an isolated island for three years is taken for granted. She does not need to cater to anyone, does not need to attend family gatherings, or even deliberately plays the role of the granddaughter of the old patriarch. She only needs one person to keep becoming stronger and more dazzling, and become the well-deserved heir of the Li family.
Although everything you have is based on lies, it is undeniable that such a life is very beautiful.
However, after seeing through the lies and deception, I understood what human nature was, but it still left the root of the disease in the heart of the six-year-old girl.
Li Chenxi started to develop a cleanliness habit since she was six years old.
......
Cleanliness is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which means that things within the normal hygiene range are considered dirty, anxious, and obsessively clean, check and reject "unclean" things.
Li Chenxi's obsession with cleanliness is quite special, and there is only one kind of "unclean" thing she rejects - humans.
She doesn't want to get close to anyone, nor does she allow anyone to get close to her. It's like a cleansing patient can't stand a little dust. Once someone gets close to her, she will feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Li Chenxi knew that she was not normal. Whether it was "inaudible sounds" or "exclusion of humans", they were all very serious psychological diseases, but she never thought of changing because she had become accustomed to being alone, a world with no man's life with only plants, stones, birds and beasts.
Until this moment, she finally realized that it was not that she didn't want to change, but that she could not change it. It was not that she could not hear it, but that human voices could no longer be conveyed, it was that she could not get close to it, but that the ugliness of human nature could no longer be wiped clean from her heart.
But this is not inevitable.
Because, a young man named Shi Xiaobai broke the inevitability that she thought could not be changed.
He let her hear the sound.
When facing absolute power, he not only did not retreat, but instead firmly determined his persistence in victory, and used all his strength to cut out the regretless posture of the last sword, blooming the most beautiful brilliance in human nature.
He is special and different from everyone.
If it was him, it would be fine.
She mustered up the courage to approach him on her own initiative, and she did not feel disgusted. She held him in her arms with shame, but she didn't feel rejected. She even gradually recalled the warm memories of sleeping in her mother's arms before she was three years old.
This feeling is beautiful, warm and unexciting.
But how long can this feeling last?
For the first time, she understood what "worrying for gains and losses" means.
"Oh, you are indeed... not a human, aren't you?"
Li Chenxi murmured in a low voice, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.
Shi Xiaobai clearly said that she could talk anything, but she was confused before she knew it because she had forgotten. She usually started chatting casually with what topics she usually used.
You are not a human being.
Li Chenxi never expected that he would get a thump, so stupid that he used such a topic of destructive atmosphere as the beginning of the chat. This was simply the worst starting move.
“Calm down.”
"Anyway, change the topic quickly."
Li Chenxi quickly turned his somewhat stiff thoughts, but unexpectedly, Shi Xiaobai's sudden and excited voice came from his ears.
"I didn't expect you to realize this so quickly. The witty girl, of course, is not a human!"
When Li Chenxi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his body suddenly became stiff.
Hello, hey, what strange expansion is this?
It turns out that he is not a human at all?
Is it because he does not have ugly human nature that he can overcome his obsession with cleanliness and muster up the courage to get close to him?
Isn't this true?
"So... are you actually... really the devil of the seventh level world?"
Li Chenxi tried hard to calm herself down, and she realized helplessly that she had never been able to truly distinguish which sentence Shi Xiaobai was the truth and which sentence was a lie.
Shi Xiaobai's reaction was beyond her expectations again. He suddenly smiled disdainfully, and then sneered slightly: "The Demon King of the Seventh Level World? Please do not compare the mentally retarded gods and demons in this world with me. The real gods and demons can sweep the gods and demons in this world. And I am a more supreme existence above the real gods and demons."
"Listen, my true identity is... the king of kings! Whether it is the king of human race, the king of gods, the king of demons, or the kings in thousands of worlds, they must bow down to me and shout "my king". I have created good and evil, and ruled the justice and evil in thousands of worlds. Because of my existence, the war between justice and evil can be stopped. Because of my king's ambitions, peace has come to thousands of worlds."
The boy's voice gradually became excited. The middle school second-class words made Li Chenxi confused for a while. After slowly calming down, he realized that this sentence was not trustworthy at all. She actually showed off to think about whether it was true.
Li Chenxi felt a little funny, but she didn't hate it, and couldn't help but joke, "Then I accidentally beat the kings of the kings and didn't even have the strength to speak? Is my identity not simple?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately felt Shi Xiaobai's head shaking on his shoulders, and then heard him snorting, saying: "Innocence girl, I am just a plot by the kings of all worlds. The king's holy body was destroyed, the immortal soul was sealed with millions of seals, and had to be reincarnated as a physical body, and his true strength was imprisoned. Now, the strength of this king is only one trillionth of the original. Of course, it is also a thing to be proud of when you can tie with the king's one trillionth of strength. You are one of the few real geniuses among human beings."
The tone of swearing was as if everything I told was true, but it was just a lie that felt ridiculous when I heard it.
One trillionth, does he know how many zeros are in the number he mentioned?
It was obviously such an excessive dialogue in the second grade, but for some reason, Li Chenxi gradually relaxed, and the feeling of not knowing what topic to create completely disappeared.
What he said was really casual, so casual that she couldn't hold anything, but she also felt that she could let go of everything.
"Since the cycle of reincarnation has become a physical mortal fetus, are you now human?"
First, confirm his self-setting, and then naturally ask questions that you still care about.
Li Chenxi thought so in her heart, and she felt that her "little trick" had an indescribable pleasure.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling with how to answer, and finally sighed: "I am temporarily... a human being."
"temporary!"
When he admitted that he was a human, his tone dropped rapidly, but he immediately emphasized the word "temporary" again in an emphatic tone. Although he could not see his face, his mind naturally showed what expression would look like on his pretty face.
That must be, very cute.
Li Chenxi finally managed to stop laughing, and inexplicably felt that his body had become very light, as if he was in a sea of clouds and floating in the sky.
Ah, such a ridiculous joke, why do you want it to continue so much?
"Then the kings who will sooner or later regain the throne, what is the first thing you want to do most when you re-place the throne that rules good and evil?"
Li Chenxi felt that she was strange, but she was not rejected. She even cooperated with his "performance" and catered to his topic, which made her feel happy.
There is no need to deliberately make the topic easier or heavier, but to go with the flow, follow his footsteps, listen to the words he wants to say the most, and talk about the topic he is most willing to continue, and everything is so beautiful.
Haha, she is hopelessly stupid.
However, Shi Xiaobai's voice coming from his ears was obviously much more excited than ever before, making her feel that it would be okay if she was stupider, because the sound she always wanted to "hear" was such a sound full of self, unique, and never drifted with the flow.
"Did you want to do the first thing you want to do most after taking back the throne?"
The young man fell into deep thought and was considering this issue very seriously, so serious that she almost took it seriously. After a while, Shi Xiaobai finally spoke softly: "I will redefine the concept of good and evil. What is true good and what is true evil? Whether humans or gods and demons have been confused, they have always used their own judgment to draw wrong conclusions, and even commit evil crimes in the name of good. And correcting and giving the most correct answer, making it clear that good and evil is what I want to do the most."
Li Chenxi was stunned for a long time, and chewed Shi Xiaobai's answer in a complicated mood.
If this is a short answer question for a test, then most testers will answer "revenge on the kings who once conspired to conspire on themselves" or "suppress the kings again and restore the original peace of the world", because this is the answer that best suits the situation setting.
But Shi Xiaobai's answer sounded too real, as if this was not a simple question with a brilliant setting, as if he was really considering the answer to the question from the standpoint of the king of good and evil, as if he was really the king who controlled good and evil.
What is this weird illusion?
Li Chenxi slowly breathed and whispered: "So, in your opinion, what is true good and what is true evil?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
Shi Xiaobai sighed softly and said, "When good and evil were born, it was the stupid king who defined such a vague and ambiguous good and evil. During the long years, I always thought that my definition of good and evil was correct. It was not until a human asked me a question that I realized my mistake. I happened to be ambushed by the king when my faith was shaken. In fact, part of the reason I reincarnate and become a human being is to find the real answer."
