After listening to Jin Pingan's confession, Ai Liang's expression did not change at all.
He said very calmly: "If you continue like this, sooner or later you will regret it."
"Whether I'm self-righteous or self-satisfied, we'll talk about the future later... At least now, I can't turn a blind eye to those victims."
"I want to ask you a question."
Ai Liang knelt down in front of Jin Ping'an and looked at his face: "You said those missing people are victims, so am I, who was involved in the troublesome incident, not a victim?"
"You clearly know the dangers of the investigation, but because of your lack of ability, you still want to drag me in. In your eyes, the lives of the victims are lives, but the lives of the facilitators are not lives?"
"not like this!"
Jin Ping'an gritted his teeth and said decisively: "I won't let you accompany me to investigate. I just want you to help me deduce the clues. I promise that if an accident does happen, even if I die, I will die by your side."
Front!"
Jin Pingan held his pants tightly with both hands and looked at Ai Liang firmly.
Unfortunately, before he could observe Ai Liang's expression, Ai Liang had already stood up.
"After all, you still can't guarantee the safety of your helpers."
Ai Liang left these words and turned to leave.
This time, no matter how Jin Pingan called him, he never looked back.
…
After returning home, Ai Liang changed her shoes and went to the balcony. There was no figure of Ye Qing on the balcony next door. She must have gone back to the bedroom to sleep.
Jin Pingan's words kept echoing in Ai Liang's ears. He looked at his hands, with no emotion on his calm face.
The full moon in the sky is very bright, but it is useless no matter how bright the moon is at night.
At best, it can only let people see light. It can't even illuminate a slightly dark corner, and it still can't see clearly where it should be.
Ai Liang's original intention of coming to Qianhua City was to stay away from the evil intentions of Neihua City.
But I didn't expect that Qianhua City has become so chaotic in recent years due to the influence of Neihua City.
Since arriving in Qianhua City, he has tried his best to avoid contact with the black areas of Qianhua City.
He didn't want to see this darkness again, lest it reignite the murderous intention that he had finally calmed down.
However, if you don’t want to see it, if you don’t see it, wouldn’t those darkness exist?
Ai Liang stood on the cramped balcony, raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window, unable to speak for a long time.
At this time, the security window was like a huge shackle, imprisoning him in the balcony.
Ai Liang originally thought that after five years of venting his desire to kill, he would be able to return to his former self after five years of living an ordinary and peaceful life.
The reality was completely different from what he planned.
In the month after his consciousness returned to his body, Ai Liang could indeed clearly feel the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and would respond accordingly.
Especially in the days after he emerged from the soil, he would even take the initiative to comfort people.
However, the burst of emotion brought about by this return of consciousness began to slowly subside as time went by, and he returned to his previous stagnant state of mind.
Material determines consciousness, as if his body has become accustomed to a state of having no desires or desires.
As Maggiore said in his previous life, correct consciousness can guide people to effectively carry out practical activities, while wrong consciousness can lead people's activities astray.
Ai Liang's subjective initiative is too dangerous.
If Ai Liang craves emotional feedback and seeks stimulation, under strong stimulation, the killing switch will be activated if he is not careful.
There are four endings for those who have witnessed the evil of human nature.
The first type is those who are meaningless evil themselves and pursue chaos.
The second type is those who understand that human nature is inherently evil and give up on themselves to join in it.
The third type is people who cannot understand that human nature is evil, but for various reasons, do not take action and look on with cold eyes.
The last type is an ideal person who knows that human nature is inherently evil, but still works hard to make himself and the world a better place.
Ten years ago, Ai Liang was the second type of person. In order to vent his emotions, he chose private legal sanctions and became a throat-slitting maniac who used violence to fight violence.
Ai Liang is now the third type of person. He clearly remembers that when he tortured the masked man before, he kept smiling. He was a smiling murderer seeking self-release.
In order to prevent himself from completely degenerating into a murderer, he now chooses to turn a blind eye to the suffering in the black zone and become a drifter.
Jin Pingan is the last kind of person, he has strong empathy.
No matter what the surrounding environment is, no matter how much malice he endures, even if his own life is in danger under the shadow of malice, he always pursues the glory of goodwill.
Just like the protagonists of those hot-blooded comics, he sticks to his beliefs.
People with firm beliefs, whether good or evil, are usually highly contagious.
To be honest, Jin Ping'an's words only touched Ai Liang... a little bit.
Rather than impressing Ai Liang, it is better to say that it stimulated Ai Liang's own vigilance.
Ai Liang was vaguely aware of his mental state. In order to suppress the violence brought about by his five-year killing career, his rationality was in an overwhelming dominant position.
While suppressing negative emotions, his feelings were also disappearing little by little. Things that used to bring touching and pain have now become trivial matters in Ai Liang's eyes.
For example, Gao Fuye's fatherly love for Gao Jiajia will still be touched by this emotion before his consciousness returns to his body.
But Ai Liang's consciousness began to become more and more indifferent due to the influence of his body.
If he were to go back to the day he found Gao Jiajia's body, he would not even look at Gao Fuye who was crying.
Ai Liang didn't think there was anything wrong with this change, but it was this subtle, unfamiliar change that he didn't even think was a problem, that was the scariest thing.
The night is already deep.
Ai Liang returned to the bedroom. He didn't sleep that night. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling all night.
After all, I had just emerged from the quagmire of Neihua City, and now I was about to jump into the quagmire of Qianhua City.
No matter who it was, he would be hesitant.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Ai Liang came to the cold street.
On a bench on the street, a figure leaned quietly on the back of the chair.
The person sitting on the bench is none other than Jin Pingan.
He did not give up persuading Ai Liang.
After breaking up unhappy last night, Jin Pingan found a bench nearby and stayed overnight.
He planned to continue to plead with Ai Liang the next day, but his tired spirit, driven by alcohol, still couldn't resist the drowsiness.
"Wake up."
Ai Liang raised his hand and pushed his shoulder.
Jin Pingan, who was already in a light sleep, was awakened instantly by Ai Liang's push.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Ai Liang in front of him.
Jin Pingan patted his head, looked around blankly at the surrounding environment, and then pinched himself to make sure this was not a dream.
Surprise and expectation appeared on his face, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You..."
