What Qing Ling said about cooperation was not very different from what I had in mind. I nodded and said, "Okay."
"You agreed so readily. Are you afraid that I will lie to you or harm you this time?" Qing Ling raised her eyebrows.
"You have shown enough sincerity about what happened yesterday. I think I have no reason to question you. After all, I have to show sincerity to cooperate." I spread my hands and smiled.
"He is indeed the best student under my command. His words make people feel comfortable." Qing Ling said with a smile.
"Thanks to Principal Qingling for your love, but I just don't know what you value in me, so you have to choose me to cooperate." I frowned and said, "Compared with me, there are too many more suitable candidates, such as Su Liu
Liu Qin Jiujiu, obviously they are all better candidates."
"I have taken a fancy to your potential. Do you think two-star cultivators in the third level are very common in the world? In terms of potential, it is obvious that you are more suitable to be my partner."
Qing Ling smiled and said: "Of course, I didn't make this decision out of nowhere. You have passed the many previous tests perfectly. This shows that I made the right bet. I hope you will not let me down."
of trust.”
"Test?" I frowned.
"Fifth Middle School is a big test, and your performance in the Spirit Game Competition is beyond fault. It's not easy to survive these two tests, let alone perform perfectly."
"If this doesn't count as my bet was right, then I can only say that I may not be able to find a better partner in the future." Qing Ling shrugged.
"...Thank you for the compliment."
Is Qing Ling complimenting me from the side?
After a moment of silence, I said in a cold tone: "I am honored to be recognized by you, but I feel unworthy of the more than two thousand students in No. 5 Middle School. They have become cannon fodder in your bet!"
"It can be seen that classmate Ye Yan has a strong opinion of me, which is not conducive to future cooperation." Qing Ling said with a smile.
"Isn't it true? Just because of your frivolous test, more than two thousand innocent lives in the fifth middle school passed away in the best years." I sneered.
Why Qing Ling did what he did in No. 5 Middle School has always been a mystery, and I actually don’t think Qing Ling did what he did just to make a bet.
I have a vague feeling that Qing Ling has a deeper reason for doing this, but I am just guessing. The details still depend on Qing Ling's answer.
Of course, no matter what Qing Ling said, it could not wash away the crime she committed in No. 5 Middle School. This was a crime she could not deny.
"I am indeed a heinous person. I admit this, because my hands are indeed stained with blood." Qing Ling did not deny it at all, and nodded directly.
"Then why are you talking so much?" I shrugged and said, "But don't worry, I won't deliberately cooperate passively because of personal emotions."
"Classmate Ye Yan, do you think your hands are clean? As far as I know, your hands are also stained with blood, and many of them are also innocent." Qing Ling said.
What Qing Ling said made me feel a pain in my heart. I wanted to refute, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know what to refute.
Because what she said was true, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of countless similar people, which always left a layer of haze called guilt lingering in my heart that could not be dissipated.
I have also discussed with Ye Yuyou whether it is right or wrong to kill the opponent in a life-or-death situation where you either die or I live.
Neither of us has an answer to this question, and it has troubled me for a year and may stay with me for the rest of my life.
"You see, the same goes for you, so the two of us are essentially the same kind of people, and you have nothing to blame me for." Qing Ling said with a slight smile.
"How come I'm the same kind of person as you? Why don't I do this because you force me to do this?" I suddenly became angry, slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "Whether it's Wang Xiaoli or Sun Yu, I
I would do such a thing, why didn’t I let you force me?!”
After my voice fell, the coffee shop suddenly fell into a strange silence, and everyone was looking in my direction.
Only then did I realize that my emotions were out of control. Maybe it was because I couldn't answer Qing Ling's question directly, maybe I was venting the anger and resentment accumulated in my heart, or maybe the guilt in my heart was in urgent need of an outlet. At this moment
I don’t know what I was thinking. I, who have always been calm, actually lost my composure like this.
"Guest, are you okay?" A waitress came over with a worried expression.
"It's okay, it's okay, he was just a little excited just now." Qing Ling waved her hands.
"Okay, but I still hope you guys can be a little calmer, otherwise it will affect the dining experience of other guests." The waitress said.
"Don't be so excited yet. As you said, you are forced to do nothing about some things, but why am I not the same?" Qing Ling said with a heavy tone: "You also know that sometimes, people are all affected by their body.
I can’t help myself.”
Qing Ling's words made me calm down a lot. Judging from her meaning, it seems that she also has unknown difficulties and helplessness?
Having calmed down, I thought this might be a good opportunity to learn more about ghost masters, so I immediately asked: "So why do you ghost masters do this? You want to use such extreme methods to select talents.
?"
"Yes, look, don't you know it yourself?" Qing Ling said with a smile.
"Why do you want to select talents? What is your purpose?"
I asked with burning eyes. At this point, I no longer had to lie to her, I just asked directly.
Of course, if she didn't want to answer, I wouldn't give up my cooperation, but Qing Ling still answered, and she said with a smile: "There are some things, it's not necessary for you to know so much, because you can't help, even if it's
me too."
"Regardless of whether I can help you or not, I want to know what you want to do." I continued to ask.
"Selecting talents to fight against the wraith spirits, is there any need to ask? You should also see that the biggest enemy is the wraith spirit and not the ghost master, right?" Qing Ling replied.
Sure enough, the purpose of selecting talents for the ghost master is to fight against the resentful spirits, which is exactly what I guessed. Su Liuliu and the others also share this view.
I feel that Qing Ling did not lie to me. What she said should be the truth. The purpose of selecting talents by the ghost master is to fight against the resentful spirits!
I still remember that when Sister Jiujiu mentioned the factions of ghost masters, she once made a guess. She said that the two factions of ghost masters should have a common unknown enemy.
At that time, I didn't know who the unknown enemy was, but now it seems that it must be the Wraith Spirit. Only monsters like the Wraith Spirit that span several worlds can pose a threat to the behemoth of the Ghost Master.
I vaguely feel that I am almost aware of the truth of the world.
Thinking of this, I asked very eagerly: "Then if that's the case, why don't you use some gentle methods? Do you have to use such a cruel selection process? Do you know that many talented people are in such fierce competition?"
Are you dead due to competition?”
"There is no way, time is tight. Of course, this is what the above said. Personally, I don't have such a clear sense of urgency." Qing Ling said helplessly: "But since the above has given the order, we subordinates must do our best to do it.
, are you right?"
"Above, do you mean those three-star ghost masters on the other side of the island?" I asked with a frown.
Bi'an Island is an island built by ghost masters in the Pacific region specifically for them to live in. However, the only people who can live on the island are high-ranking ghost masters.
I have only heard that there is such an island, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. In fact, this island is not marked on the map.
"It's not the superior of Bigan Island, but a higher, higher superior."
Qing Ling pointed to the sky and showed a meaningful smile.
