Lu Ren looked around but couldn't find Wang Min.
"Are you so afraid of death that you don't even dare to show up and meet me?"
"As a human being, you should always cherish your life." Wang Min laughed:"I am not as stupid as that old fox. When you fought with him just now, I had countless opportunities to attack you, but I didn't do it in the end. Do you know why?"
Lu Ren snorted coldly:"Don't you just want to use me to get rid of Zhang He?"
"You are only half right. I don't care who lives and who dies. If I have to choose one, I prefer you to survive.
After all, martial arts geniuses like you are rare in the world. If you are willing to swear to follow me, I can promise you an extremely bright future. How about it?"
"Born as a human, why should I be a dog? Besides, killing you won't affect my future, right?"
"You are too conceited. My methods are far beyond your imagination. In time, the entire dynasty will become my puppet!"
Wang Min's tone was full of confidence.
"Having talent but no background and power will not get you far in this cannibalistic world. Following me is the wisest choice."
Lu Ren thought for a moment and said with a half-smile,"Okay, but I want to know what benefits you can give me. How about we meet and talk in detail?"
Wang Min was silent for a while, then laughed angrily:
"You are really persistent........Are you so sure you can kill me?"
"I don't know, but I always have to try.......I am also a native of Shanyin County. You have killed so many people in the city. You must repay this blood debt!"
"They are just a bunch of untouchables, are they worthy of your attention?"
Wang Min seemed to remember something and said sarcastically,"They didn't have to die. Your arrival caused this tragedy.
Besides, you killed a lot of people before. When you swung the butcher knife, why didn't you feel pity for those poor creatures?"
Lu Ren said expressionlessly,"I killed all monsters!"
"No, you are wrong. They are all our fellow race, living people."Wang Min continued to seduce.
Lu Ren remained unmoved.
Wang Min tried to confuse his mind with words, but he would not be easily fooled.
"They are all demons, you can't fool me"
"I think you should have known that those demons were born in borrowed bodies. If you kill them, it is equivalent to killing the original bodies. Isn't this killing innocent people?"
Lu Ren frowned slightly:"You mean those people were still alive before I took action?"
"I have locked their souls and consciousness somewhere. Although they have lost control of their bodies, they can clearly see and perceive everything that happens in the outside world........What will they feel when they see you, the self-proclaimed justice and the guardian of the common people, raise your butcher knife to chop off their heads?"
Lu Ren fell into silence.
He had thought about this question before.
When killing a demon, the original owner of the body is also wiped out.
He was overwhelmed by the huge lifespan of the demon at that time and did not consider this level of problem at all.
In fact, the chances of these people surviving are already very slim.
But he became the executioner who deprived them of their last hope of survival.
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by doing all this?" Lu Ren looked around angrily and asked loudly.
"I just want to create a world where humans and monsters coexist harmoniously."
Wang Min's calm voice floated into Lu Ren's ears like catkins.
"Humph, stop flattering you. If you really have such a kind heart, you shouldn't have started this turmoil that has affected the entire city."
"There is no way. My ideal is an absurd act that is incomprehensible and unacceptable to this world and to all people.
If there had not been that signal, and you had not come to investigate the truth, perhaps my ideal would have been perfectly practiced for the second time in this small county town."
Lu Ren's eyes suddenly condensed:"The second time?"
Suddenly, he thought of Wang Min's origin.
This man was transferred to Shanyin County by the governor of Tianchen Prefecture.
Before that, he served as the county magistrate in a county town under the jurisdiction of another county for seven years.
It is said that the local people are simple and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. When Wang Min left office, the people of the whole city lined the streets for twenty miles to see him off, which was enough to show how popular he was.
Now it seems that the so-called love and respect of the people is mostly because that group of people have been brainwashed by Wang Min for years.
And that county town was the first test site for Wang Min to implement the coexistence of humans and monsters.
"Most of the demons in this world have committed many evil deeds, killed countless people, and are cruel and vicious. How could you imagine that humans and demons can live in harmony? What is your intention?"
"Demons kill people, but haven’t humans killed demons before? Moreover, there are also cases of killing each other between humans and between demons.
You have a preconceived notion that humans are the oppressed and persecuted party, but you haven’t seen that the Demon Suppression Division kills all the demons, even the young demons are not spared."
Wang Min's words were flawless, and Lu Ren couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing them.
After a while, he raised his head with a sneer on his lips:"I agree with your statement for the time being."
"Haha, it seems that you and I share the same ideals. Come on, follow me, and together we will realize a harmonious world where humans and demons can coexist."
"No, we are not the same kind of people." Lu Ren shook his head.
""Why? Don't you agree with my point of view?" Wang Min asked in confusion. Lu Ren said with sarcasm,"You said that your ideal is the harmonious coexistence of humans and demons, but what are you doing now? Harming and slaughtering the lives of both humans and demons at the same time is so heinous that it is simply unforgivable!"
After that, he smiled indifferently, and then said,"Don't bother thinking about it. I know you said so much just to make me your puppet.
But I can tell you very clearly that all this is just your wishful thinking!
I advise you to stop quickly and let the people in this city regain their sanity as soon as possible, otherwise.......Your fate will be miserable."
After hearing Lu Ren's words, Wang Min was silent for a long time.
"well........It's a pity that such a good blade will eventually break in my hands. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I'll trouble you to take the blame for the massacre."As soon as the voice fell, Lu Ren suddenly heard a slight buzzing sound in his ear.
When he finally realized the potential danger, it was too late.
A black insect quietly landed on the base of his ear and bit him quickly and fiercely!
In an instant, a sharp pain came, as if to tear his earlobe.
Then, Lu Ren felt that the world in front of him began to become blurred, and his body shook as if it had lost support.
He tried hard to stabilize his body, but found that his legs were weak and he could hardly stand.
A strong feeling of dizziness filled his brain, making him feel dizzy.
"ah……"
Lu Ren groaned in pain, his hands dancing uncontrollably, slapping his head frantically, hoping to relieve the pain and discomfort.
His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, hitting his chest like a drumstick, and every nerve in his body was tense to the extreme.
At this moment, the suffocating discomfort gradually subsided.
Lu Ren opened his eyes with difficulty and looked around blankly.
The streets were empty, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire space. There was no trace of life.
"Wang Min, what did you do to me?"
Lu Ren touched the base of his ear that had just been bitten by an insect, and there was nothing unusual.
Strange, what was going on?
Just as he was puzzled, his eyes suddenly stopped in a certain direction.
I remember that there should have been a big fire there before.
But now not only is the fire gone, but the buildings that had been burned to ashes have also returned to their original appearance.
Lu Ren's heart twitched suddenly.
No, this is not the real world!
He was pulled into the mirror world by Wang Min again.
On this clean and tidy street, there was silence, as if the whole world had been emptied.
In the dark night sky, there were neither twinkling stars nor bright moonlight, giving people a feeling of death and extreme depression.
This place is like a cage imprisoned in chaos and nothingness, leaving Lu Ren trapped in a dead end and no way out. The dilemma he was facing was so great that even the passage of time seemed to have stagnated.
Having experienced this once, Lu Ren seemed to be quite calm at the moment, and did not show too much panic or fear.
But he also knew that he could not keep wasting time.
God knows what crazy things Wang Min would do in the outside world.
He must escape as soon as possible to stop Wang Min's evil deeds.
How to get out?
Lu Ren asked himself in his heart.
The previous change came from him pushing open the city gate.
Since there is no other way, he has to try again.
With this mentality, Lu Ren rushed to the direction of the city gate.
This time, no one came out to block his way.
Lu Ren put his hands on the heavy city gate.
But this time, there was no cold touch.
His hand seemed to touch a mass of nothingness that did not exist at all.
Despite many doubts in his mind, he still pushed the door open.
However, the city gate did not move, but collapsed outward in a weird state, like a stone smashed into a calm lake.
And Lu Ren was that stone.
His hands penetrated the city gate, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and entered the world behind the door.
When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was in a dark and boundless space.
There was nothing here, a scene of nothingness and desolation.
Lu Ren turned around hurriedly, and the city gate behind him had disappeared, cutting off his way back.
This space was endless and boundless, making people feel desperate.
Lu Ren tried to break this space, but found that he couldn't even use his spiritual power.
He looked down at his body in great confusion, and it was translucent!
He then swung his fist at His chest, but the fist went through his body without any hindrance, and he felt no pain at all.
Until this moment, Lu Ren finally realized a terrible fact.
He was not real now, but was floating in this empty space in the form of a soul.
Is this the place where souls are imprisoned as Wang Min said?
Even he felt helpless, let alone those short-sighted people.
How desperate are they at this moment?
Lu Ren kept pacing back and forth, feeling extremely anxious. Wang
Min's methods were really terrible, and he could imprison people's souls invisibly.
Not to mention a head-on fight, he didn't even see the other party's face.
Although Wang Min was a human, he was far more terrible and difficult to deal with than a demon.
I don't know how long I waited, the gray sky suddenly fluctuated like the surface of water.
Then, a dynamic picture appeared in front of Lu Ren.
A hand appeared in the picture, holding a broken knife.
He recognized it as his Liuyun Broken Moon Knife at a glance.
Looking more closely, the palm of the hand holding the knife was festering and bloody. It was his own hand!
The picture was from a first-person perspective, so Lu Ren couldn't see the face.
But he was absolutely sure that what he saw was himself!
At this moment, his soul was imprisoned here, so.......The person who controlled his body could only be Wang Min.
Recalling that before he lost consciousness, Wang Min had said that he would take the blame for the massacre of the entire city.
Lu Ren thought that it was a common method to kill and then frame him, but he didn't expect that it was the person who controlled his body who"personally" did it!
Lu Ren's heart sank, and he shouted at the picture above his head to stop it:"Stop it!!!"
However, the"him" in the picture seemed to have not heard any sound from the outside world at all. He walked slowly forward with empty eyes and a dull expression, like a walking corpse without a soul.
Not long after, a woman suddenly appeared in front of his field of vision.
The clothes on the woman's body had long been stained with blood into a scarlet color. She was holding an extremely sharp kitchen knife tightly in her hand, and she rushed towards this side aggressively.
"Bold lunatic! How dare you attack the Demon Suppression Guards? You are simply courting death!"
This was Lu Ren's voice, but it was not what he had in mind.
Just as the woman was about to rush in front of him, the"Lu Ren" in the picture suddenly took a step forward, raised his right foot and kicked the woman's chest hard.
There was a muffled"bang" sound, and the woman's chest suddenly sank deeply, and even several ribs were broken.
Then,"Lu Ren" swung the broken knife in his hand mercilessly, chopped it down, and directly killed the woman on the spot.
When Lu Ren witnessed this scene in front of him, an indescribable helplessness and despair surged into his heart.
At this moment, he truly realized what kind of great pain and torture those ordinary people whose souls were imprisoned were suffering.
They could only watch themselves and their familiar neighbors, relatives and friends engage in a cruel and bloody life-and-death fight around them, but they were powerless to do anything about it..........
Some people even had to watch the entire process of being killed with their own eyes.
How cruel and inhumane is this method?!!
"Stop it, don't kill him!" Lu Ren shouted at the top of his lungs.
However, his voice was soon swallowed by the nothingness in front of him, and he could not expect a response from Wang Min.
"Damn it! How can I get out?"
Lu Ren held his head with both hands, his expression revealed madness.
In the picture, the massacre continued.
Figures fell silently in front of him, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Lu Ren's eyes were red, and he could no longer bear to look at this miserable scene comparable to purgatory on earth.
