When this faint whisper sounded in Jiang Chen's heart, a past event that Jiang Chen didn't want to recall for the rest of his life resurfaced in Jiang Chen's mind.
Just three years ago today, Jiang Chen encountered a painful experience that he would never forget in his life.
A rampaging ghost broke into their community and started killing people wantonly. Unfortunately, Jiang Chen's family was not spared. In order to protect their son, Jiang Chen's parents risked their lives to stop the ghost.
Jiang Chen bought time.
By the time people from the Dangyang Bureau came to the rescue, it was already too late. Not only were corpses littering the community, but Jiang Chen's parents had also died tragically on the spot. They even retained their postures to block the door after their deaths.
Perhaps out of some sympathy and some intolerance, Chen Yi saw that Jiang Chen was a good cultivator, so he not only brought him back to the Yang Bureau, but also personally accepted him as his student and trained him carefully.
Since then, Jiang Chen's temperament has changed drastically, from being cheerful and lively to being taciturn. He is busy practicing and performing tasks every day, and he is particularly hateful and hostile towards ghosts. He simply can't wait to...
"Want to kill all the ghosts in the world?"
At this time, the voice in Jiang Chen's heart sounded again: "Don't deceive yourself. In the past three years, you have conducted so many investigations into the death of your parents. Don't you still know the truth of the matter?"
This voice was like an inner whisper, like feedback from the depths of the soul. Jiang Chen, who was already in grief at this time, was completely unaware of the abnormality. Especially after hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen's breathing was heavy.
A lot.
"You should know that what happened three years ago was not a disaster, but a stupid experimental accident. It was an avoidable tragedy caused by Professor Wang Gaowei of the Imperial Academy of Sciences!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly flashed. Just as the voice said, he had secretly conducted a lot of investigations into his parents' affairs in the past three years. Especially during his time in the Imperial Bureau, he learned more about it.
Lots of truth.
The culprit three years ago was certainly a ghost, but that ghost was the product of an experimental project conducted by Wang Gaowei. Due to the negligence of Wang Gaowei and the Imperial Bureau, the ghost escaped, and finally fled all the way to Yangcheng for various...
Small damage.
"But...but Wang Gaowei was also punished!" Jiang Chen retorted somewhat feebly. At this time, even he himself didn't realize that his heart seemed to be divided into two consciousnesses fighting each other.
"Punishment? If you put him in solitary confinement, it's considered punishment? Don't forget how many people died because of his fault, and the punishment he received was just not being able to leave the empire. How unfair is this?" Na Dao thought in his mind.
The voice that sounded was extremely bewitching.
After hearing this, Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly. To be fair, he hated Wang Gaowei, because without his mistake, his parents would not have died, and the punishment he received was insignificant, so Jiang Chen actually had some feelings in his heart.
Resentful.
"This disaster was originally caused by the imperial government, but they never considered the feelings of the victims and their relatives. They did not give the culprits the punishment they deserve. They regarded the lives of the victims and the feelings of your relatives as nothing.
.”
"In the eyes of these upper-level leaders, people can only be divided into useful and useless people. The dead civilians will die if they are useless, but Wang Gaowei, an outstanding scientist who can rival Shen Ming, cannot die. This is the reality. If you don't
If you had some talent and ability, Chen Yi wouldn't be able to treat you so kindly, you are just a poor guy who is of some use."
"Even Yang Ju, who you regard as your second home, must bear some responsibility for the death of your parents. If it weren't for their inefficiency and slowness, your parents would not have died. They took taxpayers' money and did nothing.
It’s their fault for not doing what they were supposed to do!”
"Wang Gaowei and Di Juyang Ju are the ones you should really hate!"
Listening to the inner voice that kept echoing in his ears like a demonic voice, Jiang Chen, who was already in a very bad mood, felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, gradually losing himself in the face of huge pain and hatred.
In the past three years, he would dream about his bloody parents blocking the door countless times at midnight, trying to buy himself a brief escape time in front of the window.
If the people from the Yang Bureau could have come a minute or two earlier, both his parents would have been saved. It was in this short period of a hundred seconds that he lost his beloved parents!
damn it!
Thinking of this, a look of anger appeared on Jiang Chen's face. His face was even trembling slightly due to his anger, and his eyes were filled with heart-stopping hatred and chill!
"They all deserve to die!"
The voice in his heart sounded at the same time as the words in Jiang Chen's mouth. Jiang Chen almost squeezed these five words out of his teeth one by one, his voice mixed with deep-seated hatred.
At the same time, Jiang Chen stood up. Under the moonlight, there was an icy chill on his handsome face with sharp edges like a knife. At this time, Jiang Chen was simply strange and terrifying!
"Jiang Chen, you are indeed here." At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Jiang Chen, which made Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly clear, and he recognized that it was my voice.
Jiang Chen still remembered me. After a moment of silence, he turned his head stiffly and said to me behind him: "What are you doing here?"
To be honest, the look that Jiang Chen looked back at me really shocked me, because I had never seen Jiang Chen with such a strange expression and eyes. But at the time, I thought it was because Jiang Chen was too sad.
He didn't care, but directly took out two bottles of beer from behind, waved them in front of Jiang Chen's eyes, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this because I'm worried about you? I know you are in a bad mood today, and I'm afraid that you will be sad alone, so I thought
Come here to meet you for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk..."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen trembled all over, the hatred and coldness in his eyes quickly receded, and he regained his original clarity.
This made me suddenly surprised. I didn't expect Jiang Chen's expression to change so quickly. It seemed that I had come at the right time. If I hadn't come, Jiang Chen would have been very sad, and this could be taken advantage of by the desire spirit.
At this time, I had not thought that my worries had actually become a reality, and what I never thought was that if I had not arrived, Jiang Chen would have been unable to extricate himself from hatred and the past.
"...Thank you." Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to come here to see me. I feel much better. How did you know that?"
"I also accidentally heard what Director Chen Z said. I could see that he has always been worried about that incident and regretted that he did not rescue him in time." I smiled and said, "I saw that you were missing, so I was thinking about you.
If you are in a bad mood today, then you will know."
At this point, I sighed and said: "Brother, don't be sad. I believe that the spirits of your uncle and aunt in heaven don't want you to be too immersed in sadness. We who are still alive should move forward with strength."
"Well, you're right." After listening to my words, Jiang Chen nodded silently.
"Come, drink."
Saying that, I handed Jiang Chen a bottle of beer, and then violently opened the bottle cap with my fingers. Seeing this, Jiang Chen also opened the bottle cap in a decent manner. He usually doesn't drink very often, but today
He didn't mind a bottle.
Standing on the edge of the roof, looking at the feasting and bustling traffic below, as well as the tens of thousands of lights that illuminated the entire prosperous Fucheng, I raised my glass and said to Jiang Chen beside me: "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
After the two wine bottles collided, I made a toast gesture towards the moon in the sky, which was a gesture of respect for Jiang Chen's masked parents. Parents who sacrificed their lives to protect their son are great.
Then, like Jiang Chen, I drank the wine glass in one gulp!
"Ha!" After drinking this bottle of beer, I looked at Jiang Chen next to me and said, "Are you feeling better?"
"I've been fine for a long time. I've been fine since the moment you came." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have almost lost the most important thing to me."
"The most important thing?" Hearing this, I was stunned.
"That's right." Jiang Chen pointed at me, then pointed at his heart, and said: "I almost lost everything I finally got. Obviously I have so many precious things now, but that damn desire
The spirit actually took advantage of this period to bewitch me and destroy everything. I must settle this account!"
"What?!" After hearing this, I almost dropped the wine bottle and said in shock: "Did Yu Ling attack you just now?!"
"Yeah, but don't worry, I'm fine, and I'm sure that the desire spirit can't seduce me anymore." Jiang Chen glanced at me and said with a smile: "Thank you, Ye Yan, for helping me find it.
Self."
"That damn desire spirit, I have to find it out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen's whole body suddenly erupted with a surging golden ghost energy, and then suddenly flew into the night sky.
