Chapter 38: Small Kindness May Seem Like Great Evil, Great Kindness May Be Merciless
Although Li Shu usually spoke as if he didn't care at all about killing this and that, in fact, this fourteen-year-old boy had been staying in the Holy Medical Alliance and had never really seen death, nor had he encountered death. The great terror between life and death just now had a profound impact .
Lin Mo searched the bodies of the three people and found only some valuables and a small amount of medicine and poison. He divided them into three equal parts, took one for himself, and Yun Tianqing also took the other. When he gave the last part to Li Shu, Li Shu said nothing, silently accepted it, wiped the blood off his face, and remained silent.
Lin Mo frowned and said, "This is the martial arts world. Death is not far away from everyone. In many cases, a person's status and position cannot guarantee his own life. If you had directly hit the fatal points of the two just now, this would not have happened. Only a dead enemy is a good enemy."
Li Shu was obviously brainwashed by Lin Mo's words during this time of intense emotional fluctuations. He said to himself, "Yes, if I had killed them just now, this wouldn't have happened. If Brother Lin hadn't made that move, I might have died. I would have died just like that. Even if my mother avenged me, I would have died."
The young man seemed to be in a trance at this time. Lin Mo patted Li Shu's head and said, "Remember next time, even if you press acupoints, you must press all acupoints. People in the martial arts world have their own set of methods to open acupoints, and some will pay a price to open the acupoints.
What’s worse, some people know how to fake their own death, so every time I cut off their head, this way I can ensure that I am completely safe.”
Li Shu nodded, but then said, "Brother Lin, my strongest skills are finger skills and golden needles, which are not as convenient as your knife. I should strike the opponent first to make sure that the opponent is dead."
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "You can strike the opponent's temple and then attack the opponent's brain, which is fine. Secondly, you can also use your finger skills to strike the opponent's heart, but some people's hearts grow on the other side, so every time you kill someone, you must confirm that the other person is dead again and again."
Li Shu nodded after hearing what Lin Mo said. After taking a few deep breaths, he seemed to have returned to being the innocent boy he was before. However, only he knew that the influence he felt at this moment would accompany him throughout his life.
Yun Tianqing was speechless, always feeling that Lin Mo was teaching the kid bad things, but what Lin Mo said was right, the martial arts world was like this, no matter what status or position, a dead enemy was a good enemy. After thinking about it, he felt that Li Shu's three views would definitely have some unknown deviations, even if he would not become murderous, he would be ruthless. But this was also good, after all, he was also a poisonous snake.
Then, three people with abnormal outlooks took a rest in the copper room.
At this time, a line of text appeared on the central stone platform:
A world-famous chivalrous hero, while chasing a heinous murderer, accidentally killed your parents in a fight with him in a town. What will you do in the future after practicing peerless martial arts?
1. Kill the hero.
2. Choose to forgive him.
At this time, two large doors appeared in front of the copper room, with Door No. 1 and Door No. 2 written on them.
Lin Mo looked at the two and said, "Which one would you choose?"
Yun Tianqing was silent for a while, thought for a while and said, "The first one."
Although venomous snakes are cold-blooded, they will take revenge according to the situation. If the gang they founded is destroyed, they will not care about it after they have a better development. But if it is their parents, even if they are cruel people, their hearts are filled with darkness, but there is always a ray of sunshine in a corner of their hearts. This pure land for most people is called family affection.
Li Shu said to Lin Mo: "Brother Lin, why is there a second option? Isn't it normal to choose the first one and avenge your family?"
Lin Mo said: "There are such people in this world who regard justice as more important than anything else. Even if they think that their parents are dead, they have contributed to the hero's efforts to eliminate evil, so they will not have the slightest hatred. What's more, even if you want revenge at that time, there will be countless white lotuses popping up saying that your parents are already dead and the hero didn't do it on purpose.
How can you be so petty? The hero has done so many good things. You should forgive him now. In the end, they will make the choice for you to forgive the hero. No one knows your hatred, your pain, and your experience. They only see that you have mastered your skills and want to kill the world-famous hero.
They will only think that there is something wrong with you as a person, that your heart is too ugly, and finally say that the hero has done a lot of good things and saved a lot of people, so shouldn’t you forgive him? If you insist on seeking revenge, they will label you as an unparalleled evil, and the reason for all this is that you simply want to avenge your parents.”
Li Shu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he said: "Brother Lin, if I encounter such a thing, I will kill all those white lotuses who make sarcastic remarks. I think they are more hateful than that hero. They don't understand everything and impose their will on me. After they die, the other white lotuses will be afraid, and no one should come out to stop me."
Lin Mo nodded, with an expression that showed he was a teachable kid.
Yun Tianqing also nodded, indicating that this was the right thing to do.
Then, the three people with distorted values, after regulating their breathing and recovering from their injuries, walked towards Gate No. 1 at the same time.
The same dizzying feeling took place, and the three of them arrived at the same copper room again. The room was no different from before, and the stone platform in the middle was still blank.
Yun Zhongqing's injuries had not recovered yet, so he continued to calm down and regulate his breathing.
Seeing this, Lin Mo took Li Shu aside and asked quietly, "Xiao Shu, does your Saint Medical Alliance have any drugs that can destroy the opponent's mental power or disrupt the opponent's thinking?"
Li Shu thought for a moment and said, "I have a bottle of psychedelic potion that can relax people's minds and make them fall into their most desired fantasy, making them intoxicated. However, it will only be effective when the other person's mind is in a weakened state."
Lin Mo thought for a moment and whispered to Li Shu, "Sell me this bottle of potion. I'll need it later."
Li Shu casually handed the potion to Lin Mo and said, "Brother Lin, don't be so polite. You just saved my life. It's just a bottle of potion." After saying that, he looked at Yun Tianqing and blinked at Lin Mo as if he understood.
Lin Mo also knew that Li Shu just lacked experience in the martial arts world, but he was actually a very intelligent person. With Xu Tianfu's previous reminder, Li Shu already knew that this butler and Lin Mo were not the same kind of people. When Lin Mo asked for the hallucinogenic potion, he roughly guessed Lin Mo's thoughts.
After the three of them took a short rest and waited for the next team to arrive, Lin Mo said, "Butler, continue to regulate your breathing. Xiao Shu, you will be responsible for killing one of them, and I will take care of the remaining two."
