Jiang Qinian walked forward step by step, slowly but firmly, like a pilgrim. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, the faith in his heart would never waver.
Seeing this situation, those fierce ghosts seemed to have received some order and roared towards Jiang Qinian to kill him!
In fact, Da Xiang is right. For Jiang Qinian, whether he can cross his heart is a very difficult decision.
If Jiang Qinian can't cross it and his spirit and will continue to be weakened during the battle, then he is destined to die here.
Once his psychological defense collapses, he will have no chance of survival.
Some emotions are hard to let go of. The evil ghosts he encountered now were not the illusions he experienced before, but actual evil ghosts transformed from living people.
The Great Nightmare transformed them into deformed monsters. They no longer had emotions, human consciousness and thinking ability, and could not even speak.
But those familiar faces were like knives piercing into Jiang Qinian's heart.
He could name most of the people present, and some of them even had good friendships with him. But now they have become enemies with swords facing each other, and they must fight to the death.
The hot blood sprinkled on Jiang Qinian's face, but it could not wake up his numb and empty eyes. He seemed to be a machine without any emotions. The wailing and blood could not shake him.
Both hands mechanically waved the sword, cutting the bodies of the evil spirits into two pieces.
It's really strange for people. He had already made up his mind a long time ago, but when the sword struck the evil ghost, Jiang Qinian instinctively wanted to vomit.
"I'm obviously here to save them..."
Jiang Qi young murmured.
He also couldn't understand why things turned out like this. He obviously hoped that the people in Chun City were still alive. They were just trapped in a nightmare. When he came here, he would be able to rescue them naturally.
But when Jiang Qinian actually arrived at Chun City, he realized how ridiculous his idea was.
He was too naive. These people he knew were the Big Nightmare's bargaining chips. How could the Big Nightmare ignore them and wait for him to rescue these people?
There is a difference between real life and fairy tales.
In fairy tales, friends and relatives are imprisoned by the devil, and a righteous knight descends from the sky, saves everyone, and becomes a great hero passed down by word of mouth.
But in the real world, the devil will turn all the knight's friends and relatives into monsters, and let these monsters fight with the knight, thereby breaking down the knight's psychological defense.
Jiang Qinian suddenly remembered something Cheng Zaiyou once said to him.
The reason why evil is more powerful than justice is because evil does whatever it takes.
Evil people are not bound by so-called moral concepts. They have no scruples and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
But a righteous person cannot do such a thing.
Although the Meteorological Bureau often uses the same methods to deal with these people who have no lower limit in order to avoid being passive when dealing with the gods, there is still a difference.
The Divine Attendant and the Great Nightmare can use these ordinary people as bait and treat human lives as nothing, but the Meteorological Bureau cannot do that.
In this way, it is natural that the Divine Attendant takes the initiative.
Jiang Qinian couldn't remember exactly how many people he had killed, but judging from the mountains of corpses behind him, the number must have been over a hundred.
The souls and bodies of these evil ghosts have been completely tied together, which means that once Jiang Qinian kills them, they will not even have a chance to be reincarnated.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I have no choice. I will avenge you..."
Jiang Qinian's mind was numb. He apologized and waved the long knife in his hand.
He is trying his best to endure his desire to vomit. He knows that he cannot reveal any flaws in his current situation. Once his momentum slows down, the nightmare will definitely seize that moment of opportunity to kill him!
After making up his mind, Jiang Qinian no longer hesitated. Instead of killing them one by one, it would be better to kill them all once and for all.
There is no turning back for him. Since his hands are already stained with blood, he will simply go to the dark side!!
Jiang Qinian stopped. He stood in the middle, staring blankly at the sky. The evil spirits were not polite and rushed towards him from all directions. Their numbers were so dense that they almost formed a wall, covering Jiang Qinian.
There is no water all around.
But just when they were about to tear Jiang Qinian apart, a faint halo spread out with Jiang Qinian as the center.
But in any area shrouded by the halo, time stopped flowing, and the evil ghosts were stagnant in the air and unable to move, as if a immobilization spell had been cast.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qinian raised his arm, and a green sword energy shot out, like a slender thread. In just the blink of an eye, it instantly passed through the throats of those evil spirits!
The time pause ended, the world returned to silence, blood fell densely like drizzle, and the corpses fell to the ground one after another like dumplings being dropped from the pot, and the sound of "plop, plop" could be heard endlessly.
Jiang Qinian did not make any move, but let the blood fall on his body. The robe that should have been black was now stained with a little dark red, emitting a somewhat dazzling light in the lingering mist.
The strong smell of blood surrounded Jiang Qinian, making him unable to breathe. His eyes were still empty, but now they were filled with sadness.
I don't know how much time passed, but he finally lowered his head and saw that he first exhaled a long breath, then took steps and walked towards the city.
The sound his footsteps made while walking in a pool of blood was very weak, but for Jiang Qinian, it was like the sound of a drum that shook his mind, constantly beating on his heart.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As he continued to go deeper, more and more evil ghosts died at his hands.
The wailing cries of the dead souls before their death continued to torture him, and the aura of despair and sadness in his body became more and more intense, like a silent wave that was slowly drowning him.
"Am I wrong...?
Maybe I shouldn’t look for myself. If I didn’t come... they might not have died..."
Jiang Qinian kept murmuring softly, in a voice that only he could hear...
"In the end, I still can't save anyone..."
He could no longer remember how many people he had killed. Some were strangers from the same village, some were his classmates, and some were elders in his family.
But without exception, they were all cursed by the Great Nightmare and turned into monsters who only knew how to kill.
Jiang Qinian felt that there might be something wrong with his mental state.
Those people obviously didn't make any sound, but Jiang Qinian always felt that they were talking to him. They stared at him before they died, and then asked himself, why did he kill them?
Why?
Jiang Qinian couldn't understand.
Even he himself couldn't figure it out. He was clearly here to save these people, but why did he turn into an executioner and kill these people's chance of reincarnation?
Is he wrong?
Or... is it the Big Nightmare that is wrong?
But it was Jiang Qinian who killed these people. The big nightmare didn't do anything. The big nightmare just cursed them instead of killing them.
The one who really killed these people... was himself...
Jiang Qinian's brain has almost stopped thinking. He is naturally indifferent, but in the final analysis, he is just not good at expressing himself.
He knows who is good to him and who is not good to him.
He doesn't say sweet words to make others happy, but for those who are sincere to him, he always wants to use practical actions to repay them a thousand times.
He is also a person of flesh and blood. He is not without emotions. He feels that he can cut off the bonds with a knife without any scruples. But when he really faces it, he finds that all the indifference he had before is nothing.
It's just disguise.
If you are afraid of getting hurt, hide your soft side deepest.
But now the Great Nightmare has torn off all his disguises and forced him to face the things he least wanted to face.
"Strange, so quiet..."
Suddenly, Jiang Qinian, who was walking numbly, stopped.
A huge shadow enveloped him. Seeing this, he slowly raised his head.
In an instant, his pupils shrank sharply, bloodshot eyes filled the air, veins popped up on his body, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably!
The aura on his body was constantly trembling due to anger, and even the surrounding space was distorted!!
"Big Nightmare, I*you***, you*****,*%￥@!!!"
Unbearable curses suddenly sounded, and Jiang Qinian completely lost his mind at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and everything he saw was scarlet. His chest heaved violently, and a fire of anger and violence was brewing, almost igniting the air.
Go!!
It was a monster that was two or three stories high. It was huge, deformed, and its arms with weird shapes were waving in the air, almost dragging Jiang Qinian into the abyss!!
Grandparents, grandparents...
Those twisted faces come from his blood relatives...
He had long expected that the Great Nightmare would not let him go so easily, but he did not expect that the other party would be so evil, cursing all his blood relatives into such a deformed and terrifying monster!!
Unforgivable!
Jiang Qinian's eyes almost burst out with fire. He stared at the face of the monster, and the joints on his fingers were almost crushed and made a creaking sound!
"How are you, little friend Jiang Qinian, do you still like today's finale?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian suddenly turned his head and stared at the black figure that appeared next to him at an unknown moment, and then struck out with a powerful sword energy!!
The sword energy smashed all the buildings within a mile radius, but the big nightmare was not hurt at all and appeared somewhere else.
"Don't be so anxious, Jiang Qinian.
We have plenty of time to play slowly, but before we fight, how about you chat with your grandparents first?
You haven't seen each other for such a long time. You must have a lot to say to each other, right?
In this case, I won't interrupt you too much, and I hope you can have a pleasant communication.
