Chapter 333 Return to the Island
"Hahaha! I'm not a devil. I'm just curious why you suddenly became so afraid of death. I heard that when you were sent to the Black Gate and the White Mist, you didn't even frown. Now, just a few killers have scared you like this. Why?" Liu Lingshan laughed.
“This is different from the Black Gate and the White Mist. I am an explorer of the Black Gate and the White Mist, and they are two natural phenomena. The malice of these two phenomena is not simply aimed at me, so I can discover its laws and find their weaknesses by observing what happens to other things.
But this time the killers are coming for me. They will not act rashly unless they are sure they can kill me. Otherwise, they will not give me any chance to observe them.
And after the last fight, they already have a general understanding of my strength, and the next assassination plan will definitely be more comprehensive. If I continue to face their attack in the same state as now, I will definitely die. I have to at least become a little stronger. "
Su Ming's current plan is to improve his strength in a short period of time, exceeding the opponent's expectations, and then use this information asymmetry to counterattack the opponent in the next attack, capture one of them alive, and then find a way to obtain key information from the opponent.
"How long do you think it will take you to reach the level you want? If I give you all those chaos fragments, can you reach that level?" Liu Lingshan asked.
Su Ming looked at the other party in surprise and nodded: "Probably."
As expected, the master was not a fool. He knew what he wanted those chaos fragments for at once. However, even if he knew it, it would not matter. Su Ming had already made preparations for this. He could destroy the chaos fragments for the other party and strengthen himself at the same time. This was a win-win process. The master had no reason to refuse.
"You wait here."
Liu Lingshan got up and walked out of the room. A few minutes later, she came back in with a bag filled with chaos fragments.
"Here you go. Let me see how you can get rid of it." Liu Lingshan put the bag on the coffee table and opened it to reveal crystals of different shapes inside.
Su Ming picked up one of the stones, placed it in front of him and looked at it carefully, thinking about how to deal with the stone.
The system in his mind had already given an explanation, but it did not tell Su Ming how to absorb this stone. Currently, the only known way to absorb this kind of stone was to turn on the annihilation mode. The last time, the white dragon's crystal was destroyed and absorbed in the annihilation mode.
According to Su Ming's previous experience, as long as he is within a certain range when destroying something that has abnormal properties, he can obtain those properties. But the key problem now is that this stone cannot seem to be destroyed by conventional methods.
"Hey, don't you know how to make it disappear?" Liu Lingshan stared at Su Ming's face and saw that Su Ming was at his wit's end.
"Well... there is a way, but I can't use it casually right now."
Liu Lingshan frowned and looked at Su Ming with an expression that said "Why are you so difficult?" Then she put the stone away and went back to her room.
Finally, at twelve o'clock midnight, the airship arrived at the dock of Dongyang Island. Su Ming then remembered that he would send a message to Flora when he returned.
In order to show that he is a man who keeps his promises, Su Ming immediately sent a message to Flora, telling her that he had returned. Then, in order to prevent Xia Xiaoyu from getting jealous after knowing the news, he also sent a message to Xia Xiaoyu.
Su Ming estimated that Xia Xiaoyu might be with Flora now, because according to the fact that Xia Xiaoyu informed Flora's plan in real time, Xia Xiaoyu has been with Flora since he left Dongyang Island. Therefore, Su Ming has reason to believe that Xia Xiaoyu is still with Flora.
After the message was sent, Flora did not reply immediately, but Xia Xiaoyu replied immediately: [Where are you? I'll pick you up. ]
Su Ming replied: [No need, I'll be back soon. ]
[No, tell me now! I can't sleep knowing you're coming back.]
Su Ming sighed and asked Xia Xiaoyu to wait for him at the entrance of the Black Gate. He had already got off the airship.
When Liu Lingshan and Su Ming got off the airship together, Su Ming asked her a question. He asked if there were still some people in some places whose lives were in danger and were waiting for people like her to save them.
Liu Lingshan gave an affirmative answer.
Su Ming began to think about this problem. Liu Lingshan thought it was a good thing, because in the future, Su Ming would definitely face such a problem. Once facing such a problem, a new problem would arise. As a person who had experienced it, she knew that no matter how she explained the phenomenon, the final result would be despairing.
Once a person gets close to the truth, realizes that the truth is not as beautiful as he imagined, and sees the ugliness and cruelty of the truth, then... what kind of person to choose to be at that time, whether to become a purely good person... is something that is worth thinking about.
"Xiao Ming, let me ask you, do you think people are equal?"
Su Ming glanced at Liu Lingshan, not understanding why he suddenly asked such a philosophical question, but out of respect for Liu Lingshan, he answered honestly: "It depends on the specific measurement standard. If it is measured by social value, then it is definitely unequal. Although many people don't want to admit it, this inequality can be seen everywhere; but if it is measured by the quality of life, or if the emotional feelings of individual humans are used as the measurement standard, then people are equal. After all, humans can be sad and happy.
The latter answer is closer to an ideal answer. All men are created equal... Everyone likes to hear this. Poor people may believe it, or at least think that equality for all is right. Rich people will not deny it when they hear this. Shouting this slogan can show their kindness, and then... They actually know in their hearts that they are different from those poor people. They are more "noble" than the poor.
They understand... but they won’t say it.”
"Boy, I just asked you to express your thoughts. How could you come up with such a long and sour paragraph? Do you think you are a philosopher?"
"You! You asked me to say that! And you asked me this question!" Su Ming looked at Liu Lingshan in shock. The other party's slightly disgusted eyes made Su Ming feel offended. "Me! I won't answer this kind of question from you next time."
"Are you angry? Why should you be angry? You're just like a child." Liu Lingshan smiled happily, "We were just having a casual discussion just now. It's okay for me to complain a little. As my disciple, you can't be so narrow-minded."
