On the occasion of collapse

"Sister, tell me, why can't people live in peace? Why do we have to start a war? Is power really so attractive?" Looking at the bleak scene on the street, Bai Zhi certainly knew that this was Why.

Because of the coming war.

She has experienced the war that changed dynasties, and now she will experience this emperor's battle again.

She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand why people have to fight.

Looking at Bai Zhi's expression, Poria closed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, is power really so attractive?" She chuckled and shook her head. Poria raised her head and looked at Bai Zhi.

"Xiao Zhi, the answer to this question is that power is really so attractive."

Slowly taking two steps forward, Fu Ling looked in the direction of the city gate.

"I've seen many people do anything for power. Some people sell their daughters as commodities to achieve their own goals. Some people kill their companions for power. Some people even don't care about everyone's life or death for power."

"Just like this city gate, if it is closed, an ordinary person will not be able to open the door anyway. But if it is the emperor, then the door will be opened without hesitation."

Having said this, Poria turned around and looked at Bai Zhi who was thoughtful.

"This is power."

"Now, Xiaozhi, let me answer another question of yours." There were some strange emotions in Fu Ling's eyes, and Fu Ling did not try to hide the ridicule and contempt in it.

"The answer is also very simple. As long as human beings still exist, there will be no peace or harmonious coexistence. Because human beings are like this, and the evil in their hearts cannot be eradicated."

"A long time ago, I also imagined that human beings could unite as one and live in harmony." There was another emotion in Fuling's eyes.

That's called sadness.

She felt sorry for the human existence.

"But the result is obvious. It is impossible for human beings to truly unite as one. Human beings always think that they are very powerful, but they don't know that they themselves are the frog in the well.

Arrogance, arrogance, greed, envy, sloth, lust, rage.Look, human beings have all the negative emotions in the world, which is doomed to the fact that human beings cannot have eternal peace. "Speaking of these, some of Fu Ling's memories seemed to be recalled, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

"But Xiaozhi, even if it is such a human being, there are still some people who will believe in such a human being and even risk everything for the sake of human beings.' Although human beings have all kinds of evil thoughts, at the same time, there are also good thoughts in the hearts of human beings. Don't because of human beings' To deny human goodness by doing evil'."

Fu Ling felt that her lips were a little dry and her throat was even a little hoarse. She knew that as a god, these small problems would not really occur.

"Someone told me this. Even if she is suspected, questioned, hated, used, or abandoned, she still believes in the goodness in human hearts." Fu Ling's voice was a little tired, as if she had taken no time to say these words. All the strength in her body.

"..." Bai Zhi was silent. Although Fuling's words answered her question, she also heard another thing in the words.

'she'

To be able to make Fu Ling lose his temper like this, this person must be very important to Fu Ling.

"Then, what about me, sister, how do I feel in your heart?" Bai Zhi lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves.

"The few kindnesses she left in my heart can be seen in you. So, I am also willing to believe you." Poria looked at Bai Zhi and smiled lightly, but that smile was the same as usual. no the same.

Looking at Poria cocos like this, Bai Zhi had an illusion.

A kind of illusion that Poria cocos is very weak.

She knew Poria cocos was powerful, so she knew this was an illusion.But now the Poria cocos gave her the feeling of being a delicate flower that was being ravaged by the strong wind.

It seems that this flower should have been taken care of by one person, but that person left on the eve of the flower blooming, leaving the blooming flower to face the coming storm alone.

"Xiao Zhi, I don't say this to hope that you will deny human beings. But you have to know that no matter when or where, humans are always more terrifying than beasts.

You can doubt everyone, but you must not trust everyone.There is good in human hearts, but the vast majority of human beings also have evil in their hearts.What you didn’t realize is that it’s not that human good has defeated evil, but that evil has been restrained.

And once this constraint is slightly weaker, then human evil will be fully reflected. "Having said this, Fuling looked at the tightly closed city gate.

"Now, in this period of chaos, this restraint is weakening. It won't be long before human beings will release the restrained evil in their hearts. Kindness cannot survive at this time." He looked at people walking out of the houses around him. The man holding the weapon, Poria smiled.

"This is my first lesson in human nature."

Looking calmly at the man charging towards her with a weapon, Fu Ling calmly raised her hand and wiped the man into thin air.

"Never trust human nature."

Seeing the man turn into ashes all over the sky, Bai Zhi looked at the Poria cocos and felt that such Poria cocos was a bit strange.

It's not that Fu Ling has never killed someone in front of her. On the contrary, she has seen Fu Ling kill someone.

But during those times, Poria had always had a very casual expression on her face, and she just simply knocked people away. In Bai Zhi's understanding, it was just to cut off people's vitality through internal energy and other methods.

But now, Poria uses her familiar power to destroy a man invisible.

She could see Poria's eyes were cold, like a god sending judgment on mankind, which was shuddering.

Of course she is not unfamiliar with that power, as is every slayer.

Because that is the power used by demons.

Chapter 343 Then, are you still my sister?

On the way to the capital, Bai Zhi and Poria sat silently on their horses, neither of them speaking.

Fu Ling did not ride a horse, she sat diagonally behind Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi controlled the horse beneath her to accelerate, but her mind was not on riding the horse at all.

She could never forget the power that Poria showed that day that she was so familiar with.

It was just a little bit of breath, but it was countless times more terrifying than the breath of any demon she had ever seen.

She couldn't imagine why Poria was able to use that kind of power.

Not that no one has tried to use the power of demons for their own use, but everyone has failed, and without exception, they have all turned into demons.

When Fu Ling used that power, not only did she not have any strange reactions, on the contrary, that power seemed to belong to Fu Ling originally.

Deep down in her heart, she hoped that Poria would succeed in using the demon's power for her own use.

Bai Zhi was afraid that if she asked, Fuling would tell herself, and then this answer was the answer that Bai Zhi was most afraid of, and it was the guess that she was most afraid of.

So Bai Zhi didn't want to ask, and she didn't dare to ask.

If the answer is unsatisfactory, it is better to never know.

There was a strange silence between the two of them. Neither one spoke first, but they both expected the other to speak first.

"Xiao Zhi..."

"sister........"

The two spoke at the same time, but at the same time they silently closed their mouths when they heard each other's voice.

Silence filled the gap between the two of them again, and the only sound left in their ears was the whistling wind.

Finally, it was Fu Ling who broke the silence first.

"Xiao Zhi, if you want to ask anything, just ask." A long time ago, Fuling decided to let Bai Zhi slowly understand some things about her.

From the super strength shown at the beginning, to taking out many things from space, to later creating and destroying items out of thin air.

Then she showed off her strength not long ago.

It belongs to the power of Honkai, Honkai energy.

If she just wanted to simply spend nearly a hundred years, she could have kept Bai Zhi secret for the rest of her life.

But she also knew that if she really wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Bai Zhi, she needed to tell her these things.

She doesn't want to lose it again. She didn't have the ability to do it before, but now that she can do it, she won't fail to do something.

"Sister, is that power the power of a demon? Can you tell me its name?" Bai Zhi hesitated and finally asked the question.

"Honkai energy." Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Poria cocos slowly said everything that people in this era didn't know.

"Then, what are the names of those demons and devils?" Bai Zhi looked ahead, without looking back at Poria Cocos behind her.

"Hengkai beast, dead warrior." He said calmly, but Fu Ling didn't pay too much attention.

She used to think that it was too early for Bai Zhi to know this, but in the blink of an eye, Bai Zhi was already in her thirties.

Halfway through her life, Fu Ling knew that she could no longer persuade herself with the excuse that she was still young.

"What about you, sister?" Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and finally asked this question.

She couldn't escape the answer, even if it was truly unsatisfactory.

"...their gods." Poria raised her head slightly and looked at Bai Zhi, who had her back turned to her. She could clearly feel that when she said these words, Bai Zhi's body stiffened. one time.

Bai Zhi said nothing, as if digesting the shock brought by these words.

After a long time, Bai Zhi slowly spoke.

"No wonder, those monsters won't attack you, sister. They will even take a detour when they see you. So, that's how it is."

Poria couldn't see Bai Zhi's expression, but she could feel Bai Zhi's complex emotions.

"Ah." Poria didn't say anything, but simply replied with this word.

The horse stopped, Bai Zhi turned over and dismounted, clenching and unclenching her hands constantly.

Fu Ling also stood on the ground, her eyelids drooping slightly, not knowing what she was doing.

"Then, are you still my sister?" Bai Zhi opened and closed her mouth, and finally uttered these words.

Poria was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Bai Zhi to say such words.

She had thought that Bai Zhi would be angry and sad, but she did not expect that Bai Zhi would care about this.

Poria turned her head and met Bai Zhi's eyes.

There was no anger or sadness in Bai Zhi's eyes, only stubbornness.

I don't care about those things, I don't care if you are a human, a monster, or some Honkai God.All I know is that you are the sister I have been with for more than 20 years and your only relative.

Bai Zhi didn't speak, but her expression said everything.

"Of course, I will always be your sister." Looking at Bai Zhi's stubborn appearance, Fuling smiled.

Smile from the bottom of my heart.

She is a god, but she is not a cold-blooded god. In the end, her humanity has the upper hand.

No matter how much she hates humans, she has to admit that humans have some qualities that are really good.

It's not that she has never seen gods who have abandoned humanity, such as Tianli, who has already abandoned most of humanity.

She doesn't like that and doesn't want to be like that, so she leaves her humanity behind.

She can be cold-blooded when needed, and will also show her tenderness in front of people she knows well.

He is God, the Honkai God responsible for maintaining balance.

She is a human being, a Poria cocos living in this world.

"That's enough." Bai Zhi smiled, these words were enough.

She had never killed monsters for the purpose of protecting her family and country, and she had no bloody revenge to avenge.

She just happened to be a slayer, and a slayer's job is to slay demons, that's all.

Being an exorcist is her profession, her means of making a living and traveling around the world.

Back then, Li Changle never taught her how to slay demons and protect her. He said that he became a demon slayer just because it happened.

Just like Angelica dahurica.

Bai Zhi could vaguely sense that there was some connection between Li Changle and the demon, but she didn't know what it was.

Therefore, the honor of being a slayer is not that important to her.

If she were asked to choose between the Exorcist and Poria, she would choose Poria.

On one side is the right path and righteousness, on the other side are family members.

She never considered herself to be a righteous person. Her vision was very narrow and she could only see the people and things she cared about.

Damn this bullshit, what does it have to do with her Bai Zhi.

When she was about to die, when she was alone, when she needed company, no righteousness came to save her.

Poria is still her sister, that's enough.
