93. Stubborn
Domingo was silent. The silence lasted for a long time. He didn't know why he couldn't make up his mind to refuse or accept it. He was confused and didn't know what he was thinking. He had been murderous several times. The veins on his neck were exposed, but he forced them to hold it back. Finally, he sighed, as if he had been exhausted from his whole body's strength. He said in a hoarse voice: "They are still children, and their lives are just beginning. How can they determine their lives based on temporary good or badness? Maybe they are just impulsive and ignorant. Even if they have some mistakes, they will not receive the punishment of death. This is too inhumane and cruel. I don't know why you don't like them and you must take their lives. Maybe the purpose of your existence is blood, but please don't use my hands to do such things. Maybe you won't think there is anything, but I will feel uneasy because of this."
"Oh, such a reason is indeed enough to convince yourself, but you know, whether it is up to you or not, these people will die. The sins they committed have given me an excuse to kill them. Haha, from some point, I am really a demon. I trampled on other people's lives as I wish, and the annoying things must be eliminated. Just like the apostles did, haha, you can tell those people my purpose, but these people will not believe you." Li Yi felt that this big nose called Domingo was boring and ignorant, and obedient. He finally had the opportunity to eliminate danger but did not cherish it. He even made up some high-sounding reasons to deceive himself. It was ridiculous.
"What? You kill them no matter what? You! You cruel executioner!" Domingo was stunned. He rolled and crawled to Ardana, repeating all the words he heard from Li Yi. His sweaty and breathless look looked sad and pitiful.
"Fart! Are you crazy?" The noble boy could no longer bear Domingo. He didn't know what the other party made up such a string of obviously lies. The only thing that could explain was that he was sick in his brain and was very sick.
This time, the horse boots with iron palms were nailed to Domingo's knees. Obviously, the other party wanted to kick his leg off, but due to insufficient strength, only a deep wound was cut, and the flesh and blood surging, revealing white bones.
"Get out!" Jonas punched him on the cheekbones, and he suddenly looked at him. After the incident, Aldana walked to Li Yi and apologized to him, "This lunatic is crazy all day long, and he is thinking about money in his mind. Don't mind his actions."
"I can see that you can't stand him either, so I don't care. I didn't expect that there are such people in this world. It's really a bit of knowledge!" Li Yi answered lukewarmly.
Now, they have returned to their previous state of walking side by side. Li Yi patted Domingo on the shoulder and said, "The wound cut by dirty iron sheets will be infected with tetanus and gangrene. Tetanus will cause bone marrow infection and muscle atrophy. The mortality rate is 10% to 40%. Gangrene is a wound that causes bacterial growth and leads to systemic poisoning. The mortality rate is also extremely high. Look, these people not only do not regard you as human beings, but also want to kill you. Hum, this is the nature of these people. Do you still stick to your opinion after you have suffered such injuries?" Li Yi looked at the wound on his legs and asked.
"I won't compromise with the devil. No matter how hard you force me, it's useless." He still rejected Li Yi's kindness.
"This Domingo is really stubborn and numb to this point. I originally wanted to save him, but now it seems that there is no need, so let's follow the original plan!" Li Yi thought to himself.
The fern fern is a medicinal material containing spiritual power, with soft zigzag leaves and juicy tuber. If it is not grayish in color, it is a bit like lettuce. Their spiritual power is very gentle, and explorers usually use them to feed young spirits. The purpose of Ardana, Jonas and others here is to collect them, which is the final work of the hospital.
"I have been skipping classes for several months, right? If there are school rules, I will definitely be expelled. No, I pretended to be killed by Dimantedis. Oh, will those teachers put me on the list of the dead students in the hospital? The chairman cannot not know, so there is no need to worry. Andrew and Dionysus don't know how it is going there. With the cunning guy, Andrew... there will be no problem. I don't know if the hospital will hold a large-scale event... It would be a pity to miss it." After Li Yi lost interest in the guy beside him, he was thinking about it.
Jonas and his group were very lucky. The fern fern, which was not easy to find, collected most of the quantification in just half a day. At this time, the sun gradually passed through the forest, dispelling the mist and coolness of the morning. It was noon.
"It's great. I thought I would set up a tent here for the night. At the current collection speed, I could go back in the dark!" Jonas kicked away a stone, feeling very happy.
Everyone stopped by a stream. Originally, Domingo was going to clean the wounds by the stream, but they drove him away. They were afraid that he would pollute the water source. Several girls happily washed their hands in the water, scooped up clear and sweet water and drank it. They washed away the hard work of the journey and became bright and beautiful. This made the two noble boys move ambiguously. With a burst of laughter, several civilian boys also cheered on the side. The scene was very lively.
Domingo was not infected by such a cheerful atmosphere. The wounds on his legs were already very serious. The rusted and dirty iron sheets rudely tore open the flesh, leaving a lot of rust and soil. With a long journey, blood stasis, bacteria, and sweat, they would have fatal consequences. If you can get clean water to clean the wound, it may also prevent inflammation and infection, but Jonas and his gang did not allow him to approach the stream at all.
In pain and helplessness, he gradually felt resentful thoughts, "Haha, these people may not regard me as human beings, right? Most of the fern ferns were discovered by me. You eat snacks and sing along the way, and there is no way to find these things that are close to the color of moss, which are very difficult to find, but now, I can't even get a little water!"
"Your wound looks serious. Do you want a little water and medicine?" Li Yi came over and asked him with concern, holding a large wooden cup in his hand, containing clean water, and in his other hand, he held a bandage and a paste with a medicinal fragrance.
"Can you really give this?" Domingo widened his eyes and didn't even dare to answer. He didn't believe that Li Yi would help him so selflessly.
"Of course it's impossible, haha, have you forgotten what I have said before? I hate people who get it for nothing. If you want to get these things that can save your life - clean water and medicine, you have to pay the price." Li Yi was not in a hurry. He didn't think that anyone could escape his control. No matter how strong the will, he had weaknesses. He wanted to understand the human psychology and have an in-depth understanding of this race, so he needed a test piece, and there was a good one in front of him.
"I won't kill anyone! I won't make a deal with the devil!" Domingo refused righteously. Even though the wound on his leg was very serious and the lightest infection would be amputation, he still refused to do something that made his conscience uneasy.
"Is that true? I don't want you to kill someone this time."
"So what do you want to do? As long as it doesn't harm others, I will promise you!" Domingo's eyes lit up.
"There is a bottle of white powder here. Just take it and pour it into the stream. The white powder is not toxic, so it's OK, right? I want you to get used to trading with me. This is just a form." A plugged test tube appeared in Li Yi's hand, which contained the white powder bought from the old witch doctor. It was white and not toxic yet.
"What is this?" Domingo was a little confused about Li Yi's words. Since it was non-toxic and harmless, what did he want to do when put it in the water?
"Ah, I don't know the truth, but it's guaranteed to be non-toxic. If you don't believe me, please see?" Li Yi pulled out the plug, stretched out his index finger and dipped it in it, put it in his mouth. When he took it out, the powder on his fingertips was gone. He smacked his lips, shrugged, and said, "It tastes pretty good, am I? This is just a form, which gives you experience in trading with me. I will give you some sweetness first, which is the basis for future cooperation."
After hesitating for a while, Domingo found that Li Yi had no discomfort after tasting the white powder, so he took the test tube and walked towards the stream.
"Go and put it inside, yes, that's it, they can't see you, don't worry." Li Yi directed. Isabella was a master of illusion, and Jonas and others could not see Domingo's actions by the water.
After doing all this, the big nose successfully got what he wanted, endured the pain and bandaged itch, and the scorching pain and itch were gradually replaced by cooling. His face was still pale, but he became much more peaceful. He turned around and said thank you to Li Yi.
"What an innocent child who has never seen the world. He didn't even notice that the index finger that I put into the test tube was my index finger and the middle finger that I put into my mouth." Li Yi sneered, and the other party poured the white powder into the stream as he imagined. He completed the transaction.
"Let's camp!" a civilian teenager suggested, and the suggestion was immediately approved by everyone. They had to spread the tablecloths on the soft dead grass in autumn, then neatly lined up baskets and plates, put caviar, foie gras and some precious ingredients, which were just ordinary food for explorers.
"Look, they are happily eating the delicious food, but without your share. They are celebrating the rich harvest, but forgetting that you are the greatest hero. Some people are so ruthless. If you want to get along well with them, they beat you, insult you, treat you as a beast, and hate your existence. Some people are very nice to you, such as me, I give you a chance, even if you don't accept it, I can't deny my kindness. I help you in disguise to save you from the danger of wound infection. You can think of me as a demon, but think about evil thoughts carefully.
What did the demons do? They are to destroy the order of the world, destroy the beauty, and allow evil and sin to perpetuate. The devil's behavior is not for any benefit. They just want to see the world burn. Am I like this? I just want people to be full of virtue, let them have their own dignity and fight for it. Perhaps the means are cruel and inhumane, but the purpose is good. You can call me the Dark Knight, but you must never call me the Devil again." Li Yi slowly guided him and let him accept his thoughts.
"Maybe you are right. They will not bring any benefits to the world. Just look at what their parents do. They will know that they are nothing more than oppressing the weak and using dirty means to obtain wealth. Therefore, such children have become cruel and inhumane under the influence of the eyes." Domingo was shaken in his heart. Li Yi saved his life no matter what, but those people were constantly hurting him and trying to kill him. If they insult Li Yi as a devil, he would be really inferior to beasts.
"Very good. This big nose seems to be worthy of redemption. In this way, I will slowly guide you to another level, no longer limit yourself to a difficult life, no longer think that you are incompetent, you can only live in vain, but discover the value of your existence and cherish your life. I am so great!" Li Yi couldn't help thinking.
"You just want to achieve your goals. What's great about it? You think you can control everything by being arrogant. What is the simple thing that must be so complicated is your vanity?" A lazy voice suddenly came from his ear.
"Well, Isabella, although you are very smart, you are not a human being. You don't understand some subtle emotions. Human things are like a cup of liquid filled with substances. Whether it is external stimulation or internal reactions, they will undergo drastic changes. It's amazing, right?"
"So what do you want to get? Understand the process of these changes?"
"Not just, I have to wonder how to make these chemical substances explode! Have you ever seen the explosion? Bang! It splashed around and everything was ruined." Li Yi was happy.
"You are so evil!"
Jonas came over and invited Li Yi to have a meal together. Li Yi happily agreed. Soon, his humorous conversation and elegant demeanor were recognized by these people. He was humble, polite and knowledgeable, which made the two noble children feel inferior but not jealous. The atmosphere was well created.
When Domingo saw Li Yi as if he had merged into these people, he felt lonely and lonely. Loneliness and helplessness enveloped him again. He wanted to get rid of this feeling, so he walked around to see if he could find traces of the Cangworn Fern, as if this was his only reason for his existence.
He was lucky. He found a piece of grass not far away. Just as he was about to cut it with a wooden knife, a huge black shadow appeared above him, and the wind storm blew!
"Ah!" He screamed, turned over and fell to the ground, and looked up and saw a giant black spider that was as big as a house, staring at him. The moment of shock actually scared him, and his heart twitched violently, as if he was about to faint! The spider was a green spirit, and it approached quietly. Jonas and others did not sense the threat that was so close! It was not that their spiritual power was too low, but that Isabella deceived them.
Chapter completed!
