Sister Hongyue is slightly taller than me, so her gaze is slightly downward when she looks at me. Generally speaking, this kind of gaze will give people a condescending feeling, but her gaze does not have any such meaning at all.
If I had to describe it, it’s like the look in a mother’s eyes when she looks at her useless child, with a trace of disappointment in the sadness.
"Little Amy, you are not a waste~ Because of you, we were born, which makes us feel very lucky~"
"I know...Ling Mei said the same thing." I nodded and looked away again.
"Can you feel our sincerity?" Sister Hongyue held my hand and continued walking forward, while asking an incomprehensible question.
"Of course... Because I know that your love for me is sincere, I can now trust you unconditionally... Why do you ask this?"
"We will never hurt you, do you believe this?"
"Believe it, I definitely believe it."
"But now you feel that Ani hurt you, am I right?"
"..."
Did Ani hurt me? I don’t know, maybe...or maybe I thought she hurt me? She just punished some mortals as a god, she didn’t do anything. But this kind of behavior
For me, who was once a mortal, it was unacceptable and cruel.
I don’t understand why she suddenly became so cold, and I don’t understand why she teased those people to death. That’s not the Sister Aini I know. She is a carefree and joking person who is gentle and considerate at critical moments.
It cannot be an emotionless, aloof god.
"People should pay the price for what they have done. Aini just carried out this process as the world." Sister Hongyue's voice was very soft, which made me feel very comfortable.
"I hate Sister Aini like that! She looks just like a villain!" I shook my head vigorously to express my strong resistance.
"Villains... To evil people, we are indeed villains... We have cut off their opportunities to continue to do evil, and we have to give them corresponding punishment. To them, we are the bad guys... Although to us gods
For humans, there is a fixed standard of good and evil, but for mortals, good and evil are indeed relative."
"There is obviously a better way... There is no need to do that..." I muttered quietly and continued to look at the ground.
"Uh-huh? Such interesting handicrafts! How do you sell these?" Sister Hongyue suddenly stopped persuading me and dragged me to a shop selling ethnic handicrafts on the side of the road.
Well, it looks like her collecting habit has struck again.
After almost all the goods in the store were moved away, Sister Hongyue happily pulled me along and continued walking across the street.
"Little Amy, this is for you!" Sister Hongyue held a small statue in her hand and handed it to me.
"Ah, thank you sister!" Although I wasn't interested in this kind of thing, I quickly accepted the gift.
This is an animal statue carved from wood. The workmanship is a bit rough and it looks like a lion. African people are good at creating this kind of abstract art. Could it be said that abstraction originated in Africa?
"Little Amy, do you think it's pitiful for an antelope to be eaten by a lion?"
"pitiful."
"Isn't it pitiful that the little lion starved to death without food?"
"It's pitiful..."
"So is it pitiful for a poacher to be killed by a ranger?"
"Of course it's not pitiful. They are bringing it upon themselves."
"Don't you understand this?" Sister Hongyue narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
"I...I understand the truth, but I can't accept her behavior..."
Sister Hongyue cast her gaze into the distance and spoke slowly in a telling tone: "There is no natural law, no karma, and no rules that can restrict people in this world. If no one is discovered, then the crime is not a crime. If the criminal
If you are very powerful, then committing a crime is not a crime. That’s why there is a winner-take-all in this world, and that’s why some people laugh at morality.”
"We are very dissatisfied with this world, so we have to set rules for the world. Planes can soar in the sky because of the laws of physics, and games can be colorful because of the rules of grammar. Without rules, the world is just like what you have experienced.
That would be such a mess."
"But... if we forcibly restrain mortals, wouldn't it just turn the world into a pool of stagnant water? Everyone is forced to abide by the rules. Isn't this tyranny?"
Sister Hongyue cast an appreciative look: "Little Amy is indeed very smart. You are right. We are not trying to forcefully restrict the behavior of mortals, we just want to add a set of rules of rewards and punishments to the world. Mortals are still
You can do anything. You can do evil, but you have to pay the corresponding price for your evil deeds. This is a world-level thing. Even if you are stronger than the devil, you cannot escape."
"I probably understand what you mean, but..."
"We don't like death, but death is the norm in the world, and you have to accept it sooner or later. If we completely overturn the structure of the world, then the world will truly be dead. Aini is a little anxious, she just wants to let go as soon as possible
You are just aware of this. Although her methods may seem cruel to you, you have to know that the most cruel methods were invented by mortals. If we are not qualified to decide on punishment methods, then mortals are even less qualified."
"I understand punishment, but is it really necessary to torture them?"
"Little Amy, didn't I say that people have to pay the price for their actions. You didn't see it when they tortured the defenseless weaklings, did you? If you saw such a scene, you would become better than Amy.
Ni is even more cruel. If you think a bad thing doesn't matter, it's just because you haven't experienced it personally. If you let the victims punish them, they will only die more miserably."
"Yes... I can imagine that if I saw that kind of scene, I would probably rush up and tear human flesh with my hands..."
"Uh-huh? Little Amy is so scary~" Sister Hongyue clenched her hands into fists and raised them to her chest, pretending to be scared.
"I understand... In fact, I have always understood these issues... It's just... her completely inhumane, cold-looking attitude is really hard for me to accept. That's not Sister Aini at all..."
"Xiao~Ai~mi, I also have that kind of pattern, do you want to watch it? Do you want to watch it?" Sister Hongyue tilted her head, showing a dull expression.
"Uh, no, no, no!" I waved my hand quickly.
"What about this look, are you scared, right?" Sister Hongyue suddenly changed her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, she looked a little evil, and there was a large amount of visible black energy surging behind her.
"Ah! Don't even want this! This is what I'm most afraid of!" I quickly raised my arms in a defensive posture.
"So, people have more than one image. Although the external appearance looks different, the heart has never changed... Since you can accept the gentle Aini, why don't you try to accept the cold Aini?
?You clearly know that everything she does is not a bad thing? Little Amy is not a villain, so there is no need to be hostile to her, right? And in fact, Aini is not what you think..."
Sister Hongyue regained her tenderness and looked at me with hopeful eyes.
"I know...I'll try my best!"
Yes, these gods who work hard for a second are actually doing their best for a mortal like me. I have no reason to let them down.
"Little Amy! You are not allowed to think like this! You are our most important family member, and nothing we can do for you is too much!" Sister Hongyue pouted, looking very angry.
"I'm sorry...I have such unreasonable thoughts again..."
"Well, little Amy just needs time~"
"By the way, what do you mean when you say Sister Aini is not what I thought?"
"Oh~ Her coldness is just a disguise, you will know later~" Sister Hongyue put her hands behind her back and showed a charming smile.
Well, replace the black energy behind you with a halo. Sister Hongyue is really a goddess. It would be great if she could always be like this. Sister Aiti is the same.
"Speaking of Sister Hongyue, I think you and Sister Aiti have very similar personalities. Is it an illusion? You are obviously stupid by nature, but Sister Aiti is a gentle elder sister."
"Ah~ your feeling is correct... Anyway, I am a natural idiot who can only pretend to be stupid. In fact, she is a gentle big sister at heart... It is so annoying to have repeated attributes. Who makes her and Aiti's images both real?
As for the image of the goddess... even little Amy has felt it. I might as well become a real fool. Well, I will discuss it with that person after I get back..." Sister Hongyue said with a dark face, feeling disappointed.
.
"Ah! Sister Hongyue, don't worry, hahaha! I just said it casually! In fact, it's because you two are both evil-minded, so I think you two are very similar, hahaha...
"I panicked and quickly tried to smooth things over and try to save the situation.
"The panicked little Amy is so cute. I lied to you, haha~" Sister Hongyue instantly regained her brilliance and stuck out her tongue to show me how cute she was.
"...Sister Hongyue, all of your goddesses have one thing in common, they like to play tricks on me."
"Uh-huh? Is that so?"
"Is such that."
Nearly three thousand words, as stupid as me.
"Yes, you are as stupid as she is!"
Yisi, please stop taunting across dimensions...
"If you don't tell me this, idiot, you still have something to do, right?"
When you said that, I remembered it.
Chapter Recommendation: "Deadly Bet"
It's a heavy, plot-oriented, and witty book. If you're interested, you can read it.
Even if you don’t read the book, it’s still good to look at the cover. The girl on the cover is pretty good.
Well, do people really read the chapters of me, the Salted Fish King?
