Chapter 252 Do You Still Want Me to Lie on the Ground and Bark? (Two in One)
"Senior Ye, you're back."
As if sensing the chill emanating from Ye Xishui, the voice of the holy servant guarding the gate of the courtyard shrank.
"Is Lingbing back?"
"Elder Lingbing returned to the branch altar just over an hour ago and should be in the room now."
Before the holy servant could finish his words, he felt a gust of wind blowing in his face. When he came to his senses, the figure in the blood-stained robe had already passed him and walked towards the building in the courtyard.
"Hello, Senior Ye."
"Hello, Senior Ye."
Ignoring the greetings from everyone along the way, Ye Xishui kept approaching the room in her impression with a cold face.
Soon, as the closed door came into view, she keenly caught two breaths from the room.
Two?
And another strange but weak breath. Who is it?
She did not stop because of the doubts in her heart. Just as Ye Xishui was about to break in directly, a faint voice rang in her ears.
Although there was a thick wall between them, the cultivation of the 99th level Extreme Douluo still allowed her to hear the words completely.
"So, you said you wanted me to help you with something, so you wanted me to help you with this?"
In the silent room, Ye Guyi's voice full of disbelief slowly echoed. Looking at the white-haired boy with a calm face who didn't feel anything wrong, she frowned and asked.
"You want me to help the evil soul master? Why?"
"Didn't you see it just now?"
Huo Yuhao asked calmly: "Some people living in this branch temple even lived worse than some soul beasts before joining here, didn't they?"
"But this has nothing to do with us."
Staring into those beautiful blue eyes, Ye Guyi calmly retorted.
"I do feel sorry for what happened to them, but this is how the world is. Huo Yuhao, you are not a child, you don't have to pay for other people's mistakes."
"Really? Then why did you help me drive away those little hooligans that day?"
"I"
Looking at Ye Guyi who didn't know how to refute, Huo Yuhao slowly lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
"They are not wrong, they just have no choice."
"Maybe the evil soul masters in this facility really have no choice, but what about those outside?"
Ye Guyi shook his head, his tone serious.
"Huo Yuhao, it's not that I can't help you, but you have to give me a reason. Why should I help the Holy Spirit Church? Why should I help evil soul masters? Why should I help a group of psychopaths who rely on killing innocent people to achieve their goals?"
"Aren't there people who died outside because of these things?" Huo Yuhao asked back.
"You should know that this underground facility only gathers the evil soul masters of Mingdu. In the dark corners of other cities, there are countless similar beings who are struggling to survive in places without sunlight."
"Not only are they persecuted by normal soul masters, but even their fellow evil soul masters are full of malice towards them. But what can they do? Living is worse than death, or dying quietly."
"The Sun and Moon Empire is more accepting of evil martial spirits because of the soul guides. What if the evil martial spirit owner was born in Douluo Three Kingdoms?"
Recalling the argument with Xuan Lao at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's calm and gentle voice slowly echoed in the room.
"It seems that they are destined to live in hell from the moment they are born, but those so-called big powers have never cared about their experiences, and even contributed to this situation, because compared with the really important things, these people's lives seem so insignificant."
"But what can be done for those insignificant people, for those who have been abandoned? They can't survive anymore, so they can only resist and kill."
"I say this not to accuse the world of how bad it is, nor to blame those big powers for what they should do. , but there are many reasons why the Holy Spirit Church can exist and the evil soul masters can form such a huge scale now. "
"Similarly, I don't intend to defend the Holy Spirit Church and those evil soul masters. Many people have indeed killed many innocent people and deserved to die, but there are also some people who, as I said, are wanted to be killed. If they don't kill people and commit crimes, they can't survive."
"But they are guilty after all, aren't they? From the moment they kill people, they are no longer innocent."
Listening to Ye Guyi's questioning, Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted it frankly.
"Indeed, from my situation at the Holy Spirit Church headquarters, there are very few senior executives who really want to make changes..."
Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao paused and sighed softly.
"But I want to change it, Ye Guyi, since those forces are unwilling to do this, then I will do it."
Ye Guyi trembled all over and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Evil soul masters should make changes, and it's time to change."
"Perhaps many evil soul masters will still do evil, but what I want to do is never to change everyone, but to give those who don't want to do evil one more choice."
Huo Yuhao's voice still echoed in her ears: "But in addition to the evil soul master, I have many other things to do, and there are many enemies waiting for me to deal with. Even if I have more energy, I can't do everything by myself."
"So Ye Guyi, I need your ability, I need you to help me."
In silence, Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Guyi and spoke solemnly.
"We can replace the Holy Spirit Church and establish an organization that does not need to rely on death and violence to deter, and can prevent suffering from continuing to happen. It is more legitimate and more acceptable than the Holy Spirit Church."
"Even if it is still a long way from that day, if we do nothing because of this, there will be no hope at all."
Silence.
After a long silence, recalling everything he had experienced after meeting Huo Yuhao, Ye Guyi finally spoke, but it was not an answer to him.
"...I have one last question."
Huo Yuhao did not speak, but just stared at Ye Guyi quietly, waiting for the other party's next words.
Ye Guyi hesitated for a long time, and finally bit his lip and asked the last doubt in his heart.
"What about those evil soul masters in Dongyang City? Many of them must have killed people, right? I want to know why you only killed that Wanhun Douluo?"
"Because he wanted to kill me, I killed him."
Huo Yuhao asked doubtfully.
"Does it mean that because they killed people, I have the right to hold high the banner of justice and punish them in the name of judgment?"
"Then should I also kill all the soul masters in the world because they killed innocent soul beasts for soul rings?"
"Going further, should I kill ordinary people, including myself, who kill lives to fill their stomachs? It shouldn't be like this, right?"
Looking at Ye Guyi lowering his head in silence, Huo Yuhao said seriously: "Ye Guyi, as I said just now, all I can do is stand on my own standpoint and give soul masters a choice not to kill soul beasts, and give evil soul masters a choice not to do evil."
"They killed people, and maybe one day in the future, they will encounter evil soul master nemesis like you, and may be killed by others when killing people, or because of excessive killing, they will cause public outrage and be surrounded and killed. This They deserve all these crimes..."
"But I shouldn't punish them with a high-handed judge's attitude, shouting death. I don't have the qualifications to judge those who have nothing to do with me, and I don't have the qualifications to forgive them either."
"Everything I did was just based on my own considerations. I gave them the choice because I wanted to do it, not because they deserved it."
"As for the Wanhun Douluo you just mentioned, if you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed. This is why I killed him, and it is also what I can do from my own standpoint."
Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao thought about it, chuckled and added: "If there is anything wrong with what I did during this process, it's probably fishing enforcement, right?"
Ye Guyi stared at Huo Yuhao, looking at his blue eyes that had never moved away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He is the owner of the Holy Angel Martial Spirit, the nemesis of the evil soul master, and now he is trying to change the evil soul-like situation.
Even overestimating his own capabilities, he tried to rewrite the order and rules that had existed in this world for who knows how many years and had long been deeply rooted.
But she just felt that her heart was moved. Maybe she simply wanted to help this arrogant boy, or maybe she was infected by Huo Yuhao's words, or she felt that this task was challenging enough to stimulate her desire to win.
Has she been influenced by this guy's strange ability without knowing it?
After secretly laughing at himself, Ye Guyi slowly spoke.
"I have to say that you have successfully convinced me. Judging from the current situation, this is indeed not a bad thing."
"You saved my life. If you go astray one day, I will not kill you, but I will leave without hesitation. But before that..."
She looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated look, and said word by word in an unprecedented serious tone.
"I will be your tool."
"I didn't ask you to be a tool..."
Huo Yuhao laughed and shook his head, then raised his hand towards Ye Guyi.
"Welcome, buddy."
Ye Guyi pursed her lips, glanced at her palm, and recalled the scene when this guy held her hand to fight against Wanhun Douluo.
After many days, she finally had the chance to hold the little hand she had been thinking about again!
As if treating something indescribably precious, Ye Guyi raised her hand carefully and shook it stiffly.
Unlike the last time, the palm gave people a cool and warm touch. While secretly surprised in her heart, an idea quietly emerged from Ye Guyi's mind.
It feels so good...
After an unknown amount of time, the girl suddenly realized it, and her pretty face blushed and she let go of Huo Yuhao's palm.
Damn, it's okay to be a devil all day long, even the palm is so good to touch, it's really an evil soul master born evil!
Thinking of this, she looked up and down at Huo Yuhao with a hidden look in her eyes, and spoke softly.
"So, what should I do?"
"This matter is not urgent for the time being. An empty room has been arranged for you. Your task during this period is to stay here and let your body adapt to the skyrocketing cultivation level. Then I will take the time to take you to obtain the soul. Wait. Once your cultivation reaches the standard, I will assign tasks to you."
The sharpening of the sword does not waste the time of chopping firewood. Right now, Ye Guyi, who is only five rings, can't help him at all, but it will be different when the other party obtains subsequent soul rings and reaches the eighth-ring Soul Douluo.
Perhaps in terms of martial soul quality alone, there is not much difference between the Holy Angel and the Ten-Headed Fire Phoenix, but in terms of the ability to suppress evil soul masters, even Ma Xiaotao may not be able to match Ye Guyi at the level of his fellow practitioners.
You must know that in the previous life, when Ye Guyi was only at the sixth ring, the impact of his own soul skills on Ye Xishui had already surpassed that of the Broken Star Douluo, who was already at the ninth ring at that time. It is conceivable that the Holy Angel Martial Spirit is in front of him. What an exaggeration when dealing with evil soul masters.
Hearing that he would soon have a soul, Ye Guyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I understand, then I will practice now..."
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly added something for no reason.
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao was stunned and chuckled: "Since we are companions, then don't talk about this."
"companion……"
Not sure what the word reminded him of, Ye Guyi couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at him. After humming softly, he finally walked out of the room without any nostalgia.
Crunch——
As the door opened, a woman with a very enchanting figure covered in a bloody robe came into view.
The moment he saw the other person, Ye Guyi suddenly felt like he was in a trance. Then, a chill surged through his heart for no reason, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
However, this situation only lasted for less than a second. Before she could react, she felt an extremely slight tingling sensation in her head. It was Huo Yuhao who used Soul Shock to pull her out of her trance.
As soon as Ye Guyi came back to her senses, she found that Huo Yuhao had come to her side at some point, looking at the blood-robed woman with a calm expression.
"You go back to your room first."
"……Um."
Understanding that this sentence was meant for him, Ye Guyi glanced at Ye Xishui in fear and walked straight past him.
Ye Xishui obviously had no time to pay attention to an insignificant person at the moment, or in other words, her eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao from beginning to end.
"Master Shengzi has finally come back, and you don't want to invite me in for a chat? Or do you want to just talk about it like this?"
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and turned away.
"Senior Ye has helped me so much. Since we are talking about something, I still have time to invite senior for a cup of tea. I wonder what senior would like to drink?"
"oh?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's confident look, Ye Xishui narrowed his eyes slightly and walked in.
"My taste is very tricky. I wonder what kind of tea the Holy Son has here?"
Huo Yuhao closed the door and spoke calmly.
"Just plain water."
Ye Xishui stumbled and turned around to glare at Huo Yuhao who was holding the cup: "Then you ask me what I want to drink?"
"Originally it was just a polite inquiry, but who knew that senior wouldn't even refuse."
This kid still dares to make fun of himself at this time!
However, before Ye Xishui could get angry, a biting chill swept through the entire room.
Huo Yuhao was seen taking in the water, but ice-white dragon scales began to appear on the surface of his body, and five soul rings of unimaginable colors appeared under his feet.
Miraculously, even though the entire room was filled with terrifyingly low temperatures that could freeze ordinary people instantly, the water in the water glass was not affected at all.
Without any scruples, he showed off his ice attribute martial spirit in front of Ye Xishui. Huo Yuhao just casually took a few ice cubes and put them into the water glass. After thinking about it, he used his second soul skill again. A snowdrop petal goes in.
"Please use it, Senior Ye."
Looking at the water glass that was pushed in front of him and still steaming, Ye Xishui raised his head playfully and met Huo Yuhao's blue eyes.
"What? Could it be that you guessed that your identity was exposed, so you didn't hide your ice-attribute martial spirit?"
Not seeing the panic he expected from Huo Yuhao's face, Ye Xishui instinctively leaned forward a little and asked coldly.
"Unprecedented Three-Life Martial Spirit, Huo Yuhao, you are so good. Even I was almost deceived by you. Tell me, what do you want to do by sneaking into our Holy Spirit Sect!?"
"Didn't I already tell you what I want to do last time?"
As if he didn't expect Ye Xishui to ask such a question, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but tilted his head, his face full of confusion.
"And wasn't Senior just outside the door the whole time and heard exactly what I wanted to do?"
"What a joke. People who live in the sun actually start to care about the well-being of rats in the gutter?"
Ye Xishui sneered, his voice a little louder due to the excitement.
"You're the only one who joined Shrek, how can I trust you!?"
"But you have no choice but to believe me, right?"
Huo Yuhao just looked at Ye Xishui calmly and asked.
"Or do you think that the current Holy Spirit Sect and your methods can change the current situation of evil soul masters?"
"Do you think that as long as you cooperate with the Sun Moon Imperial Family and use them? Will they really agree to you? Didn't you know from the beginning that this method would not work at all?"
"It sounds good, but if we don't cooperate with the Sun Moon Empire, who else can we cooperate with? With Shrek where you are?"
Ye Xishui sneered: "Are you trying to say that you Shrek have the ability to change the status quo? Even if I am convinced by you, it will only turn the Holy Spirit Church from a lackey of the Sun Moon into a tool of Shrek."
"Speaking of which, if you Shrek want to do something shady, can't you do it yourself? Why do you need our Holy Spirit Church?"
While speaking, Ye Xishui supported herself on the coffee table in front of her and suddenly moved in front of Huo Yuhao. Looking at the beautiful face close at hand, her voice was mixed with strong sarcasm.
"Or do you want to train us rats in the gutter to be loyal dogs to you alone?"
"Are you still thinking that I, Senior Ye, will be grateful to you for a few words, lie on the ground and bark a few times, and wag my tail to beg for mercy?"
However, no matter how hysterical she was, the expression on Huo Yuhao's face did not change at all. There was no condescending pity, no panic of having his thoughts exposed, and no anger because of her distrust. He just looked at her leisurely.
"Since you don't trust me, why don't you just do it to me?"
"What?"
Looking at Ye Xishui's astonishment, Huo Yuhao asked softly: "Why waste time arguing with me until now? Why didn't you come in to interrupt me after listening outside the room for so long?"
"In the past six months, you should have seen in this facility that for evil soul masters, this is the real transformation and way out. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Church will sooner or later fall and be destroyed."
"I don't want to see all this happen, so I will destroy the Holy Spirit Church with my own hands, erode the foundation, disintegrate everything, replace it, and rebuild everything on its corpse."
"I don't want it to be destroyed in the hands of others, nor will I let it fall into hell like this."
Ye Xishui was silent. In fact, when she heard Huo Yuhao's words outside the door, she felt that this guy was crazy.
Now he is even more crazy, saying in front of her, the Supreme Leader, that he wants to destroy the Holy Spirit Church, and then threatens to let the rest of the people be his dogs.
What is wrong with this? What kind of dream is this?
But unfortunately, she felt that she was not quite normal.
Or, isn't she a crazy woman?
It's normal for a crazy person to be moved by the words of another crazy person, isn't it?
"To be honest, Huo Yuhao, I don't believe in this extremely hypocritical world, nor do I believe in those hypocritical hypocrites, including you..."
Ye Xishui paused, and after taking a deep look at Huo Yuhao, the subject suddenly changed.
"But I will help you once."
"Just think of it as the ticket I paid to see you hit your head and bleed in this dead end, to see your unrealistic ideas being crushed by reality."
"I want to see how far you can struggle."
Huo Yuhao didn't get angry, but just shrugged and chuckled.
"I hope that day will never come."
"Naive."
Giving his own evaluation without hesitation, Ye Xishui picked up the water cup in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a sip.
Although it didn't smell good, the refreshing aroma that went straight to her head relaxed her body a little.
After calming down, Ye Xishui looked up and down at Huo Yuhao who was sitting opposite her. When she spoke again, her voice had returned to the seductive hoarseness of the past.
"So, what role can I play in your plan?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huo Yuhao's eyes light up, and then, the other person's figure disappeared in an instant, replaced by another self sitting opposite her.
Also wearing a red robe, sitting in the same posture, even the breath is exactly the same.
The next second, the other self turned into Xu Tianran again and spoke calmly.
"I need you to help restrict Kong Deming when I replace Xu Tianran in the future."
