Overturned Tower

Chapter 212 The Fire of Jealousy and Greed

In fact, the previous plans proposed by the godfather to "leap onto the chessboard" and "become a competitor of the head office" only made Strangler feel like it "sounded like it would work."

But that's about it.

In fact, Hangsha is the most pessimistic person.

The reason why he was willing to support the godfather's plan was because he originally couldn't believe in ale.

The "Melting Pot" school and the "Ember" school are inherently opposed to each other.

One emphasizes tempering oneself with the hammer of pain and the fire of anger, transforming oneself into something great... The entire external world is a hardship and a test, all joy is false, and all pain is an opportunity.

The other believes that everyone will die, that even the world will be destroyed, and that everything will be reduced to embers after being burned by fire. Whether you are great or not is just a matter of how much fire is hidden in the embers... The most correct thing to do is to enjoy yourself while you are burning.

These are two completely opposite schools of magic.

The inheritance of the magic school itself includes the world view.

Just like what the Godfather said... According to the concept of the "melting pot" school, every area in the dream world is a kind of training. After enduring hardships and passing tests with all your strength, one's character will be reshaped by it.

Strangler is always silent and reliable. This is not unrelated to his experience of walking on the path of contemplation and temperance and experiencing many hardships.

For example, "Heart Lake".

He wants to drive a lone boat through the never-ending lake. Whenever there is the slightest stray thought in his mind, the originally calm lake surface will become turbulent and agitated; if he feels restless and anxious, the lake surface will become as terrifying as a tsunami; if he feels fear and panic, the lake surface will become really scary. There will be monsters attacking the lone boat.

The only way to get through that area is to stay calm and always ignore the rolling waves.

And the experience in this process has definitely had an irreversible impact on Strangler himself.

Because of this, he and Malt Liquor studied in opposite schools, which proves that their views must be opposite.

Not exposed, just because the malt liquor is cunning enough. She hid her true self to convince Strangler.

So when the godfather proposed another plan, Strangler agreed without hesitation.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the fact that it can solve the immediate problem and prevent Malt Liquor from succeeding is enough for him to support.

——But in fact, strangulation comes from distrust in the heart, and the godfather's plan can really be realized smoothly.

Until now.

For the first time, he suddenly felt... that he had reached such a high position without even realizing it.

He has really... grown to the point where he can influence the world.

Although it was The Godfather who really changed the world. But from another perspective, the godfather was also pulled over by him.

He was able to recruit the Godfather because he felt the pressure from the Veil of Ignorance and the Reincarnation. And this kind of self-esteem as a leader is acquired through training in the "Way of the Melting Pot".

It was precisely because he never stopped and absorbed all the pain from the outside to strengthen himself that he had the opportunity to recruit the godfather to his army.

The pain that tempered him did bear fruit...

And at that time, some ideas that he had never dared to think about before also burst out.

That's...greed for power.

The "family" they formed may really be able to influence the big shots in the upper city.

Those high-ranking figures who had made Hang Zhu feel scared since he was a child, who made him feel angry as soon as he could remember...actually became so close to him at this moment?

He didn't even dare to look up at those big shots before.

Because he has really seen how powerful those people are... He really knows how powerful money and power are. From a very young age, that kind of fear has been deeply ingrained in Strangler's heart.

That's not even an elf director, just a human director. That's not even a director of the head office, just the boss of a small company...

His way of wielding power wantonly and treating others as objects, bought, sold and dismantled left a deep psychological shadow on Strangler.

So he never decided to go head-to-head with Uptown, like the other two groups did.

This is because Strangler has an extremely clear understanding of himself——

He can't win. Absolutely no way to win.

They are just a bunch of rotten sewer dogs who can never defeat real "people".

...But now, the godfather told him. He has been able to kill an elf director.

After just two days of hiding, he was able to enter the dream world calmly... He knew that the godfather used a "self-binding ritual" when entering the dream world.

If it is not safe enough, using self-binding to enter the dream world is tantamount to asking for death.

Can this be understood to mean that it only took the Godfather two days... to defeat those "elven directors" who, in the eyes of Strangler, were simply invincible and could never be defeated?

So in the future, will the power of company directors...or even the power of directors of the head office be lower than that of the godfather?

If we say that Xiacheng District can really compete head-on with Shangcheng District...

Will he try to make the mark of the "White Lion Group" on his godfather clearer?

Ale and the elf boy were both greedy for him. They'd wanted him for so long...and the mare called him daddy.

But no matter what, the Godfather all came out of the White Lion group.

He is the talent I found!

he's mine--

The "shadow" hidden in the bottom of my heart gradually made the blood-red flames in the eyes of Strangler gradually become lighter...

It turned into a gray flame, with a light orange color jumping from time to time.

——It was not the fire of anger, but the flame of jealousy and greed.

It was a remnant of the time when he used to walk in the dream world based solely on instinct.

It was the time when he had not inherited the way of the "melting pot" and only relied on his own nature and walked on the path that suited him best... It was the time when he did not understand the rules of the dream world and was influenced by the way of jealousy and greed. The shadow attack of Tao, but the "inner demon" that always remains in the heart.

Jealousy, greed, madness, fear...that was the path he took during the period of confusion before embarking on the path of "anger".

He thought that after he embarked on the path of anger, these emotions had been turned into firewood and used as fuel for anger.

But I didn't expect...

"It's still in my heart..."

Thanks to the experience of "the way of contemplation" and "the way of temperance", Strangler gradually came to his senses.

He realized that there were impurities in his emotions that shouldn't be there.

Meditation and temperance strive to restrain greed and envy.

And when he was too "restrained", low purring sounds suddenly appeared from all directions.

……shadow?

"Careful... barber."

Hangzhou immediately stopped his previous thinking and replied seriously: "That is the shadow of the way of contemplation.

"Don't think about what they are, pretend you don't see them...just move on."

The "barber" raised his eyebrows.

Don't you call me godfather?

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a pleasant smile.

【What are you doing? 】

Russell's voice rang in his heart: [Why expose the nature of strangulation in a place like this? 】

It’s because of being in a place like this.

"The Barber" responded in his mind.

"It is precisely because of the blessing of regional power on the path of contemplation... that he was able to wake up immediately.

“It’s shadows against shadows, demons against demons.

"If this is useless to him... then it means that he has been too deeply contaminated. We should prepare a 'strangulation plan'.

"You're not still feeling lucky, are you?"

【……Won't. As he had already told me, his anger was not pure. I was curious and conducted a behavioral analysis on him, and easily saw the fear and greed in his heart]

[I just thought that this day would come later]

"This human emotion is called luck, my god."

【I know! I don’t need you to guide me]

"And this feeling is called anger."

The smile on the barber's lips became more obvious.

Although Russell looked a little angry, but since he didn't take back the control of his body, it means that it was just a few words.

It’s so easy to understand, the other me.

It’s the end of the month, please vote!
