Ren Jie frowned: "A lighthouse?"

I saw Bai Ge standing with his hands behind his back, a look of emotion on his wrinkled old face:

"In this world... every devil-contractor was once a child abandoned by the world. Their fate played tricks on them time and time again. They were like stray dogs huddled in the alley, lingering and covered with bruises..."

"The gods will not pity them, let alone set their sights on the losers of fate. They prefer those winners in life, giving them strength and icing on the cake..."

"Only the devil will respond to the expectations of those stray dogs, give them strength, teach them to resist fate, and give them the courage to roar unyieldingly at the world that has abandoned them!"

Ren Jie was silent. He had never considered this issue, but...it seemed to be the case.

Jiang Jiuli, Ye Weiyang, including Wu Li, they were born into superior family backgrounds and never suffered much hardship. They were born with silver spoons in their mouths and were born to be winners in life...

But people like Demon Contractor, Lu Chen, Qianliu, Yuan Ze, including myself... all have a past that is unbearable to look back on. Even if I think about it now, it hurts so much that I can't breathe...

The gods favor the victors, but the devil prefers the losers...

The truth is that...

Baige said hoarsely: "But... this world is fair. When you gain something, it means you have to lose something..."

"The magic mark disease, the price, the influence of the devil's original sin, every step forward by the devil's contracted person, he is closer to the devil and closer to death than others..."

"The spirit is tortured by original sin all the time. You must always stick to your true heart so as not to fall into the devil's abyss. In the past two hundred years, almost no one with the devil's bond has been able to die well, fell into the devil, died of the devil's mark disease, prejudice..."

"We, the Devil Contractors, are like night walkers walking on the frozen lake in the endless darkness. We walk one step at a time, unable to see clearly the way ahead, let alone the future, or when.

The thin ice under your feet will break..."

"Under the thin ice is the abyss of magic and death..."

"From ancient times to the present, how many people with the devil's contract have been able to reach the other side?"

Ren Jie also had a look of sadness on his face, a night walker on thin ice?

A very appropriate metaphor...

I saw Bai Ge squatting down, stroking the small lamp grass in the flower bed, and murmured:

"Everyone in Baigui Yama is a child who has been abandoned by the world. They know that it will be easier to live in the Dangtian Demon Realm, but...even if they have all kinds of grievances and many helplessness, they still firmly choose to stay.

In Daxia."

"Everyone has their own reasons more or less in their heart, and it takes courage to stick to it..."

"They are like these little lamp plants. Even under the heavy darkness of night, they still bloom with their own light and slightly illuminate the dark night..."

"But...the little lamp grass that blooms at night is destined to have no one to appreciate their splendor..."

Ren Jie slowly clenched his fists, feeling heavy...

Yes, with the strength of Baigui Yama and the relationship of The Fool, if he goes to the Dangtian Demon Realm, he will definitely have a place in it.

But Baigui Yama still stubbornly stayed in Daxia, preferring to be a rat in the gutter rather than betray the human race and become a demon in that realm.

Baige raised his head and looked at Ren Jie: "As a devil-contractor, you know best. We are always facing the deepest malice in our hearts!"

"One thought is a human being, another thought... is a devil!"

"Under the night, if there is no lighthouse to guide you, if you make one wrong step, the resentment accumulated by Baigui Yama for many years will turn into an omnipotent evil ghost, swallowing everything, and the persistence of many years will be wiped out."

"Once the devil is released, it cannot be contained. This will be a disaster for Daxia and the human race..."

"And the human race cannot withstand a fire that burns the sky..."

Ren Jie smiled bitterly: "Yes...the forces in the human race are complex and intertwined. Tianmen Church, Baigui Yama, Shun Da Express, Guild of Stars, Daxia officials are already in a state of distress..."

"If something goes wrong with Baigui Yama, it will also be a disaster for the devil-contractors in the human race."

When that time comes, the human race may be divided because of this, and there is still two minds on whether Daxia officials can support it.

Baige stared at the little lamp grass in the flower bed: "That's why... a leader is needed. Although there are many good people in Baigui Yama, no one can play the role of a lighthouse..."

"Even I... am just one of these little lights... I want to be a lighthouse, but I'm not. I... also can't see clearly the way forward for the Devil Contractor..."

While talking, Baige raised his hand and picked off a small lamp grass in the flower bed. The moment it was separated from the soil, the lamp stamen emitting a faint blue light gradually dimmed and eventually withered quickly...

Bai Ge slowly stood up and handed the withered little lamp grass into Ren Jie's hand.

"And I... am about to die too..."

Ren Jie's heart suddenly tightened: "You...were you injured the last time you fought against the Fool?"

Bai Ge shook his head: "No... I am in the night. As long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me, not even the Fool, that brat, nor the mirage!"

"It's just that I... have lived too long. I am already 207 years old this year..."

Ren Jie's eyes widened and his voice rose an octave: "More than two hundred years old? You...have you experienced a complete era of spiritual energy recovery?"

Baige smiled, his eyes full of memories: "Yes...all of them..."

"From the initial appearance of the spiritual spring, to the catastrophe, the reconstruction of human civilization, to the racial war, the war between gods and demons, the mirage eating the moon, the red bean crusade, the abyss war..."

"I have fought too many battles in my life. I have crawled out of the dead again and again. My relatives and friends have long since turned into a handful of loess, and my acquaintances have died one after another..."

"Time flies, and the years are like songs. I stood alone in the night, and when I looked back, there was no one beside me..."

"Sometimes, living too long is not a good thing. My life is over, and this body can no longer bear it."

"You understand, the road is long. I can't carry this body forward anymore. It's... too heavy..."

There was a hint of urgency in Ren Jie's eyes: "Is there really no other way?"

"You...don't die, you?"

I had just met Bai Ge not long ago, and I felt that this old man was very kind, and even gave Ren Jie the feeling of being his own grandfather.

Ren Jie has never experienced that kind of pampering from the elders to the younger ones for a long time...

Baige smiled: "Is there any other way? Maybe... everyone is walking on a dead end, and I have already reached the end of the road..."

"What's standing in the way is not the enemy, but...ourselves..."

"As for what is on the other side of the mountain, I don't know. This kid Lu Qianfan is really high-spirited. He is walking an unprecedented path..."

"I hope he is right, and I also hope that...his path will be followed by others in the future..."

Two words popped up in Ren Jie's head for no apparent reason...

"Kill me"!
