Aoba Office

I found myself wavering.

Compared to the wavering he felt when facing Ye Qing, the wavering he felt now was even worse.

Because I don’t know if I continue to do that, will it lead to a worse future.

Even worse than the future world ruled by the ghost king is the future world ruled by monsters.

If you think about the fact that the ghost king can still communicate with people, while the monster is completely destructive, you can understand the difference between the two.

Bad and worse.

It's not like I haven't thought about this issue before.

It's just that I didn't have such heavy pressure in the past. I was just afraid that I would make a mistake and bring harm to others, which might kill dozens, hundreds, or more, leading to the death of tens of thousands of people. I never thought that if I made a mistake or failed, the whole world would fall into a state of irreversibility.

I have never had such a psychological burden.

When I am truly desperate, I can ignore it and just move forward with all my heart. But before that real despair, I would hesitate and fall into the distress of a choice.

The thin man asked about my condition with concern, but I couldn't explain it. I didn't know where to start.

"Do you think it's the monster that's scary, or the ghost king?" I still couldn't hold myself back and asked the thin man.

The thin man asked: "Is it a monster like Nian Beast?"

"Yes." I nodded and added, "It's more terrifying and destructive than the Nian beast. It may only take ten minutes to destroy a city."

"That's it." The thin man looked a little uneasy and his eyes fell on the two corpses on the ground. "The ghost king is more terrifying. If you want to talk about enemies, I will choose that kind of monster as the enemy." The thin man said slowly. He calmed down and said, "If they are ghost kings... how should I put it? They are transformed from us and have many connections with us. If they are monsters, they are another species."

I didn't expect a thin person to have such an opinion.

"So, when it comes to choosing an enemy, I choose monsters. When facing monsters, we don't have to worry." The thin man gave an affirmative answer.

I remembered what happened when I faced the Nian beast.

At that time, we were really focused. Not only us, but also those who don't know what supernatural events are, can fight against the Nian Beast without hesitation.

Like the thin man said, if it were another species, there would be no scruples.

Facing the world ruled by the ghost king, I would feel depressed and desperate, but if it were a monster raging, I would only think about how to kill them.

Not just me, but others too. Everyone has no choice but to unite to deal with such an enemy.

I thought silently, and the figure of Ye Zhengyi appeared in my mind.

no choice……

He said that he had no choice, but he still struggled and wanted to be the King of Ghosts. I don’t want to be the king of ghosts, but I also want to become a spirit.

But, these were all destroyed by me.

As for earlier plans, there were definitely more plans that were ruined by Liu Che.

Liu Che and Ye Qing chose this path and forcibly tied everyone to the same ship.

I was stunned and used Nangong Yao's ability to observe the surroundings.

That kind of black-and-white world didn't appear, and I didn't feel that threatening sight.

I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart.

I'm afraid I thought wrong.

I touched the Mencet mark on my palm and saw no one dying.

I must have thought wrong.

Monsters and ghost kings...this choice has nothing to do with God's decision in the future. It counterattacks in the past, which is not what I thought. I want to eliminate the monsters in advance and create a world without monsters.

it's not like that.

A ridiculous idea suddenly occurred to me.

Ye Qing only caught and sealed the Behemoth, but never killed it. Is he doing research? That's not necessarily the case...

perhaps……

There is just one possibility.

A slim possibility...

Monsters are not our enemies.

After brushing, the hairs on my body stood up, and I felt that the eyes were on me again.

I was nervous, but not because of the sight.

I've figured out the rules of this thing.

Like some kind of motion capture camera, when my thoughts get close to that taboo, this gaze will fall on me.

But this thing is very mechanical and not aggressive.

Only if I really touch that taboo and figure out what that taboo is, will God in the future personally take action and kill me.

I've been on the verge of death once before, but I didn't die.

I was forcibly interrupted in the middle of my thinking and saw Xu Tiancheng's situation.

Xu Tiancheng encountered a ghost and was directly killed by the future God.

I have already guessed what Xu Tiancheng encountered.

But just thinking about it makes me feel heavy.

I don't know whether I should be happy, guilty, or grateful...

I can only think about how many more times I can try this.

Xu Tiancheng is dead.

Yao Nie and Ye Zhengyi are ghosts.

There are also so many commissions that Aoba has handled, and so many passers-by and survivors that he has come into contact with...

When I had this idea, I felt that I was too despicable and inhumane.

A year ago... not even a year, just half a year ago, I would not have had such an idea.

Even now, I still feel bad about Ye Qing killing Wu Ling and the others.

I looked at the Mencet mark in my palm.

My grudge may not be against Ye Qing, but towards myself.

I became the person I originally feared and hated.

Just like...Ye Qing...

I clenched my fists.

The sight was gone.

As long as I have a thought and continue to think deeply, I might be able to further discover the truth about that taboo. That might be my key to changing the world. Even if there is danger, Ye Qing can still block several death threats for me.

But I couldn't help but see Xu Tiancheng swallowed by the flames.

I looked at the two corpses in front of me.

When I frequently used my abilities to resurrect others, I probably lost my respect for death.

After witnessing Aoba's death and being unable to save him, I no longer wanted to use my power to resurrect others.

I know there's no point in doing this.

As the world deteriorates, anyone I save will die.

I can't save anyone like this.

"You're right. Let's let monsters be our enemies." I said to the thin man.

The words came out of my mouth without any disturbance in my heart.

I know very clearly that what I want to destroy is the King of Ghosts and the God of the future world.

I patted the thin man and motioned for him to go out together.

My cell phone rang at this time, and the caller ID was home.

My calm mood just now had a slight fluctuation.

I quickly answered the phone and heard my mother's worried voice.

"Son, you haven't come back yet?"

"Be back soon. What's wrong?"

"Upstairs, there's a fire in your Aunt Wang's house. We're fine, don't worry. The fire brigade is putting out the fire. It's extremely hot." Mom hesitated to speak.

"I'll be right back. You guys stay away."

"Yeah. I know. Your dad and I are at the small restaurant here."

I paused, "Have you eaten?"

"Sitting here, I must buy something. I don't know how long it will be before I can go back..."

"I'll be right back," I said again, ending the call.

Goodnight everybody.
