Don't Call Me A Devil

But Wei Pingsheng interrupted:

"You want to be Tao Ran, and you want to use the life he bought back to save more lives. Then every person you save will be the continuation of Tao Ran's life!"

"In this way, you will feel better in your heart, won't you?"

Ren Jie gritted his teeth, but had nothing to say, he just clenched his fist silently.

Wei Pingsheng smiled wryly: "Silly boy, do you know that people cannot be saved forever? As long as evil disasters exist in this world, tragedies will continue to happen!"

"The devil is the source of all the tragedies. Being a cleric cannot stop the evil disaster from happening. We are just mending this dilapidated world."

"And to become a demon suppressor, as long as you keep moving forward, it is enough to change the world."

"To become stronger, to hunt and kill demons, and to curb evil disasters from the source will be more valuable than being an official of Yao. Sometimes, killing is also a kind of salvation!"

"Don't waste your talent..."

Ren Jie shook his head:

"What talent do I have? There are many people like me in this world, and there are countless geniuses, not bad for me..."

"I don't think I'm special, and I don't fantasize about becoming a hero who can save the world. In this world, some people are good, and some people are mediocre."

"I just want to be an ordinary person, live a good life, live my life in a down-to-earth manner, and protect the people I care about. Is this wrong? The road is not just to become a demon suppressor..."

Wei Pingsheng took a deep breath: "Indeed, that's true, but nine times out of ten, the world is unsatisfactory. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future?"

"You don't think you have any talent, you are not unique, right? You don't know how many people desire everything you have!"

"Look at those mechanical colonizers, look at those ordinary people who can only drift with the flow, and look at me!"

Ren Jie was taken aback, and looked at Wei Pingsheng in astonishment:

"Uncle Wei? You..."

Wei Pingsheng gave a wry smile, exhaled a puff of smoke, and turned his head to look at the falling sunset, dyeing the sunset glow in the sky red like blood...

"I'm just an ordinary person who has not awakened my abilities. I am so ordinary that I can't be more ordinary. When I was young, I also imagined that I could become a god-favored person, a magic contracted person, and a genetic warrior with the power to move mountains and seas. To suppress the evil disaster, to change the world."

"But the god of fate has never favored me. At the age of 18, I joined Siyao Hall without giving up. I wanted to try genetic medicine again. I wanted to give it a go. I was ambitious and wanted to make a career."

"But no matter how much money you spend, or how many injections of genetic medicine you inject, you just won't be able to awaken your ability."

"I desire power, desire to become stronger, and desire to use this power to change the world, but I don't have it. I have tried forced reproductive surgery and gene transplantation, but they all failed. I also lost an eye and a liver because of this... "

Pulling open his shirt along the way, a surgical scar is very conspicuous...

Ren Jie frowned:

"So... have you become a martial artist?"

Wei Pingsheng sighed: "Yes~ This is the only way for ordinary people like me. I train day and night, learn fighting skills, and dream of being able to walk through the road of being a martial artist and walk out of my own unique path. path of."

"But... after all, it's just a fantasy. I'm too ordinary. I'm like an inconspicuous weed. I'm trying my best to grow, but I can't stand out from the vast grassland."

"With no way out, I thought about leaving Si Yao Hall, but... you know, after staying for a long time and experiencing many things, I am reluctant to leave..."

"My life is not only my own, but also those of those comrades who have passed away, carrying their unfulfilled wishes. Many old people are still in the team, and they all have their own reasons..."

Ren Jie remained silent. He had known Uncle Wei for a long time, and he often took care of the family, but it was the first time they sat together and talked like this.

Wei Pingsheng looked up at the sky: "I'm not married, and I broke up with a girlfriend. I'm afraid that if I have concerns and thoughts, I won't dare to fight..."

"But I have worked hard for most of my life, but I haven't achieved any results, but I don't regret it. Even now, I still long for power and change the world."

"I want the evil disaster to disappear completely, and I want all the evil in this world to retreat, so that the prosperous world can be healthy!"

Ren Jie stared blankly at Wei Pingsheng. When he said this, there was light in his eyes. Even though he was forty-eight years old, he still poured out his dreams like a young man.

Who has never been young?

Wei Pingsheng smiled: "But I've seen it now. After this time, I'll probably quit, go fishing, play chess, sit at the gate of the community and brag to the old ladies and grandparents, it's good too..."

"But...Xiaojie, you are different, you have talent, you have what I dream of, to be honest, I'm jealous of you."

"I am a weed, and my path can be seen to the end at a glance, but you are different. You are a small sapling, and you have the possibility to stand out and grow into a towering tree, sheltering the endless weeds from wind and rain, and even opening up the territory for the human race. of!"

"Don't let your life be wasted in vain. Once a person walks in this world, it will either be vigorous or soul-stirring. Don't come this time in vain."

After finishing speaking, Wei Pingsheng looked at Ren Jie with anticipation and hope in his eyes, with a smile on his face.

Looking at Wei Pingsheng's profile, against the backdrop of the setting sun, although he was thin, he looked unusually tall...

This reminded Ren Jie of his father. In his memory, the figure of his father had long been blurred, but the figure of Wei Pingsheng made him feel familiar...

"I know Uncle Wei, I will think about it..."

Wei Pingsheng then patted Ren Jie on the shoulder:

"Stinky boy... the mouth is really hard."

"Go and do everything possible to become stronger. Justice without a sense of strength will only make those who believe in this justice despair."

"You are different from me. The path you chose Uncle Wei has come to an end, and you... have to fly farther than me, understand?"

"If Tao Ran knows all of this, that kid will definitely show off to me. Look, the kid I rescued is promising, right? Hahahaha..."

"Don't live with guilt, just like what you said to that child back then, if Tao Ran was alive, he wouldn't want to be like this..."

Ren Jie wiped his nose and nodded heavily, his eyes were a little red.

"By the way, Uncle Wei, speaking of this, I want to ask you something. How much do you know about the Jincheng Class A disaster ten years ago?"

"Remember ten years ago, you also went to support Jincheng with Uncle Tao?"

The black pendant that changed his destiny has an extraordinary origin, and it may be inseparable from the Jincheng disaster ten years ago!

Ren Jie naturally wanted to find out what happened back then. He was only eight years old that year. Although he had personally experienced the disaster, what could an eight-year-old child know?

Memory is a little fuzzy.

It's not that Ren Jie hasn't checked before, but there is very little useful information.

As soon as this was mentioned, Wei Pingsheng's face became completely solemn, and there was even a hint of fear that he didn't want to recall deep in his pupils.
