Chapter 153: Tolerating Evil is Evil (I)
Jiashan and others were also convinced by them. They had to be naughty and beaten before they would behave themselves?
The fatal attack they had just used really irritated the four of them, and the words they were supposed to use to plead for them felt like a thorn in their throats.
On the contrary, Xu Shanshan's character was as deep as the sea, and she remained calm. Under the floating light and cool shadows, and the black dragon-covered moon, her figure was clear and indifferent, and she had an extraordinary aura that was unparalleled.
"How about playing guessing game again?"
They froze when they heard her words, and looked up in confusion. It took them a while to react to her words before they understood her meaning.
Is she planning to... give them another chance?
Their pupils dilated in despair and fear, and they kept saying, "Play..."
"Let's play. Let's play."
"If you say play, then play. We will listen to you."
"How do you want to play, Master?"
"This time, I will guess your way out. Bet your life on it. This illusion is called Yayoi Shura. It is a life-or-death situation. If someone can accurately point out the way out, you will win and can escape."
"But remember, you only have one chance. If you make a mistake... you will be stuck here forever."
As she spoke, many black hole whirlpools appeared in Yayoi Shura's illusion. They were spread all around, and each one was exactly the same. It was impossible to distinguish the "dead end" and the "life path" with the naked eye.
How do I guess this?
They were shocked and felt extremely heavy in their hearts. At one moment they were excited about the "way out", and at another moment they were anxious and nervous because they were afraid that they would not be able to choose a "way out".
Among these vortex black holes, there must be a "way out" leading to the outside world, but it is difficult to judge which one it is, unless... someone is willing to take the risk and try it. The way out is the way out, and the way of death is the way out.
If you are lucky, you may be able to find a way out quickly by just choosing a random option, but if you are unlucky...
Their faces were pale and blue at this moment, looking very ugly. You looked at me and I looked at you, unable to make a decision.
They are people who are driven by profit, and their hearts are full of desires and ambitions. No one is open-minded and kind-hearted, willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
Xu Shanshan knew all this very well, but she just smiled and said nothing, watching their decision quietly.
She has given them the opportunity. As for whether they can seize it and whether they can keep the wisdom and kindness in their hearts, that is their own business.
"You are good at asking difficult questions." Wei Canghao was also stumped by this question. He wondered, if it were him, what choice would he make?
"Otherwise, how could I win you back?"
Her casual remark stunned Wei Canghao for a moment, and the next second, his ears felt like they were on fire.
Seeing that Wei Canghao was "disabled" by Xu Shanshan's words, and looked embarrassed, speechless and weak, the other three people who were originally planning to say something were immediately "killed as a warning to the hundred".
Well, she must have her own ideas. These people acted evilly and will eventually receive retribution. Since she has taken a step back and given them a chance to survive, she should just let fate take its course.
Jiashan, Guyue, Jiarong and the other three did not force Xu Shanshan to choose to forgive and release the animals, but waited and saw what would happen. However, one of them was unwilling to obey because of his selfish desires.
"You shouldn't be led by the nose."
I saw a thin man with gentle movements walking out from behind. His eyebrows were as dark as distant ink with a hint of melancholy, his eyes were like a pool of clear spring water, and his whole body exuded a heart-breaking softness.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. They were wondering where he came from and whether Xu Shanshan knew of this person's existence?
Due to Nangong Yu's extraordinary appearance and temperament, and the fact that Xu Shanshan was very calm and indifferent about his appearance, Wei Canghao, Chi Jiangdong and Gu Yuejiarong suddenly had a strange guess in their minds.
"Who is he?"
Simei immediately asked Xu Shanshan, her tone a little heavy and questioning with some inexplicable emotions.
Xu Shanshan generously revealed his identity: "Nangong Yu."
Nangong Yu?
When Wei Canghao first heard the name, he felt it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
"Is it the young prostitute who made you obsessed with him and wanted to break off the engagement with us?" Gu Yuejiarong asked in surprise. In fact, he was very sure of Nangong Yu's identity in his heart, but seeing that the three of them were all confused when recalling, he poked a little more at the window paper of Nangong Yu's identity so that they could remember it immediately.
Jiashan was stunned for a moment, then whispered softly: "It's him."
Chi Jiangdong's eyes widened with anger, "Is it him? How could he be here? Xu Shanshan, did you kill him?"
The people below listened to their conversation and felt as if they were being forced to eat a big melon again.
It would have been fine if she had four fiancés standing around her, but in the blink of an eye, another lover from outside came over. It has to be said that Xu Shanshan is not only powerful, but also strong in terms of both men and women.
Xu Shanshan was not in a hurry to explain to Simei, but stared at Nangong Yu with interest: "If you intervene this time, it will be equivalent to being involved in cause and effect with them invisibly. Are you sure this is what you want?"
Nangong Yu was shocked that Xu Shanshan saw through his inner thoughts at once and knew what he was planning to do... But the more she did this, the more the fire in his heart burned.
He quickly gathered his thoughts, his eyebrows and eyes were frivolous, and he said in a light tone: "Saving people is what I want."
When Xu Shanshan heard him say that, she just smiled, a smile that didn't have much meaning, and then she made a gesture, meaning that he was free to do whatever he wanted.
"Have you ever heard the story of being in the same boat?" Nangong Yu asked them.
This bet is between them and Xu Shanshan, and also between him and her. He doesn't want to lose, he wants to win her once, so he can join the game and get back at her once.
This story is about two good friends, Zhang and Li, who encountered heavy rain, rivers overflowed and roads were blocked. They chose to board a boat together and row against the waves. Even though it was windy and rainy, they finally reached the shore because of each other's support.
The sorcerers stared at Nangong Yu uncertainly, trying to guess what he meant. So, he was telling them to stick together?
"If your magical powers are used to help people, are they magical? If they are used to save people, are they magical? Could it be that, apart from killing and harming people, you can't think of any other uses for them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were heard like thunder.
"This young master is right. As the saying goes, each of the eight immortals has his own unique ability. What one person cannot accomplish, with so many of us, can't we come up with a perfect way to verify it?"
Once a person has an idea, his stagnant brain will start to work again.
"I have a solution that works, but it has its own problems..."
As soon as this person mentioned it, others jumped in: “I’ll help you.”
"I also have an idea, which is that we need..."
"I am practicing this technique, and I am willing to lend you a helping hand!"
They were finally no longer stagnant, full of sinister calculations, but opened up for discussion. Nangong Yu's expression relaxed as he saw that they were taking action.
However, many methods that sound effective still fail repeatedly when put into practice.
After much indirect inquiry and probing, it seemed that they were all "dead ends" and there was no chance of finding a "way out" by any chance.
From hope to doubt, their mentality now became much more depressed and worse than before.
"What should I do? I have tried every possible method, but I still cannot confirm the difference between a way out and no way out..."
"What should we do? How about..."
With evil intentions in their hearts, some people came up with sinister and vicious ideas.
Some of them suddenly looked at Nangong Yu, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw. They put aside their attitude and begged kindly: "Mr. Nangong, you just said you wanted to save us, why don't you be kind enough to help us again."
