Chapter 57 Underlying Personality
From a sunny and cheerful youth, he transformed into a gloomy and sinister Demon Lord. Demon Eye's transition was seamless, giving people a sense of naturalness, as if he was such a person with both righteous and evil sides.
Demon Eye's strong upper body muscles swelled, blue veins protruded beneath his skin, and his expression was fierce and ferocious, like a killing god from hell.
He tried to break free from the camphor tree, and the entire cell trembled because of his actions, the canopy rustling.
"You've actually accumulated so much power? This is impossible!" Elder Dog's stunned and adorable dog face revealed human-like shock.
The Demon Eye Heavenly King, whose cheeks were covered with blue veins like an eerie war god, raised the left corner of his mouth: "The power of the ancient war god comes from the heart, from the will! As long as my fighting spirit does not die, my power will never wither!"
Elder Dog nodded in realization: "So you've been secretly accumulating power."
Speaking of this, a strange look flashed in his black button-like eyes: "I know you value Yuan Shi Tianzun very much, but I didn't expect him to have such a high status in your heart."
Because of an unconfirmed piece of information, he had become angry to the point of almost losing his mind, not hesitating to expose his power that had been hidden for so long.
The love and hatred of evil professions are different from ordinary people. Decades of friendship may be worthless in their eyes, while a brief moment of looking back, a moment of recognition, is enough for them to risk their lives for you.
Distorted and twisted.
Elder Dog said lightly: "Yuan Shi Tianzun is not dead!"
The trembling cell suddenly calmed down, the canopy stopped shaking, and the Demon Eye Heavenly King was stunned for a moment, asking with a somewhat dazed expression: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Elder Dog couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "You were the one who went crazy for no reason."
"Oh, then it's nothing!" The killing intent and violence in Demon Eye's eyes quickly dissipated, and the corners of his mouth turned up as he returned to his sunny and cheerful appearance: "What happened to him?"
Elder Dog was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "He killed a colleague."
A light suddenly lit up in Demon Eye's tired eyes, his head leaned forward involuntarily, and he stared at Elder Dog with a burning gaze, eagerly asking in a tone that suppressed excitement: "Tell me more, tell me more!"
Elder Dog frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Demon Eye's excited posture. "A few days ago, I went to the Jinghai branch to carry out a mission..."
He immediately told Demon Eye about what happened at the Jinghai branch, and at the end, Elder Dog sighed: "He should have had a more rational and appropriate choice, but he disregarded the consequences and made a big mistake."
Demon Eye was dumbfounded.
The cell fell into silence, and after a long time, a low laugh rang out.
The laughter gradually expanded, turning into loud laughter, turning into狂笑.
"Hahahaha..."
Demon Eye laughed wildly, overjoyed.
This was different from his usual habit of coldly smiling at the corners of his mouth. He laughed so wantonly, so flamboyantly, heartily, and each sound echoed in the room.
"Have you laughed enough?" Elder Dog raised his head and glared, saying unhappily: "Anyone who didn't know would think you were ascending the throne to become emperor today!"
The Demon Eye Heavenly King ignored him, continuing to laugh loudly. After a long time, he stopped reluctantly and asked excitedly: "The last time I saw him, I noticed that his ferocity had become heavier. What did he say when he killed someone? What was his expression like? Do you have a video? Hurry up and send it to me, hahaha!"
"Enough!"
Elder Dog seemed to be provoked, raising his paw and slapping it on the ground.
The vines all came to life, wrapping around Demon Eye Heavenly King's mouth to physically shut him up.
After a while, when Demon Eye calmed down, Elder Dog waved his paw and removed the vines, asking in a deep voice: "I understand Yuan Shi. He is wise, profound, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and is also rational. He is definitely not a stubborn and eccentric person. Did you curse him? I want to know how exactly you did it."
Demon Eye Heavenly King raised the corner of his mouth. "You've misunderstood one thing. I did curse him, but that was just meaningless trash talk. I'm just an Enchantment Demon, I'm not a witch doctor."
Elder Dog was stunned.
Fu's Family Bay, underground chamber.
In the thirty-square-meter small room, Zhang Yuanqing sat by the round table, looking at the gentle man with gold-rimmed glasses sitting opposite him, and smiled: "We meet again, Dr. Sun!"
The middle-aged man was gentle and thin, but without the slightest sense of weakness. Instead, he had a kind of resilience and majesty like bamboo joints. The white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses concealed his sharpness.
This person was the psychological doctor who was responsible for investigating and assessing the mental state of the Songhai official Spirit Envoys during the physical examination.
"I've heard about your matter." Dr. Sun sighed, "You should have come to see me sooner."
"The Captain reminded me, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with me. Mental patients don't think there's anything wrong with them, right!" Zhang Yuanqing said frankly.
Dr. Sun's eyes lit up: "In other words, you admit that there is a problem with your mental state?"
"I don't think so," Zhang Yuanqing first shook his head, and then said: "Until now, I still don't think there was anything wrong with killing Wei Yuanzhou, but after calming down and thinking about it, I was a bit irrational at the time. I should have tied him up and brought him back to Songhai."
"If it were me in the past, I probably would have done that. I can feel that I've changed a lot, so reason tells me that maybe I should see a psychologist."
"Being able to admit your mistakes shows that there is still room for redemption." Dr. Sun nodded. As an experienced psychologist, he easily understood what Yuan Shi Tianzun meant.
"It's like the old me was timid and cowardly, and the current me has become brave and fearless. I can clearly feel the changes before and after."
"But the current Yuan Shi Tianzun won't think there's anything wrong with him, because self-awareness is a very subjective thing. Madmen never think they're crazy."
Dr. Sun asked, "Then what do you think is the reason for the obvious changes in you in such a short period of time?"
Zhang Yuanqing said without hesitation: "It's Demon Eye's curse, that bastard. He once cursed me to be as crazy as him. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but I didn't expect that I would become Demon Eye-ized without realizing it. Aren't you angry?"
Dr. Sun frowned: "But I heard from Elder Fu that Demon Eye didn't curse you at all. The Enchantment Demon doesn't have curse skills."
"I'm not too sure either. Elder Dog also said that I wasn't cursed, but that's just how it is." Zhang Yuanqing said helplessly.
This problem was destined to be unable to be discussed to a conclusion. Dr. Sun pondered for a few seconds and began to enter the second step of psychological diagnosis. He asked in a gentle tone: "Do you think Wei Yuanzhou deserved to die?"
"Doesn't a person who kills their parents deserve to die?" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
"He certainly deserved to die, but why did you ignore the assassination of a colleague?" Dr. Sun asked.
"Of course, assassinating a colleague is wrong, but this is just using dark methods to achieve a goal. Which successful person in this world hasn't used dirty tricks? Of course, it deserves to die, but I won't be angry because of it," Zhang Yuanqing said.
"Moral fastidiousness has worsened, so he has become more extreme and stubborn. This is a weakened version of the Demon Eye Heavenly King." Dr. Sun made a judgment in his heart and continued along this topic: "Before coming here, I collected as much information about you as possible. The thing that caught my attention the most was the Copper Sparrow Tower incident. I want to ask you what your attitude is towards those powerful and wealthy people involved in the case."
This question caused Zhang Yuanqing to fall into a long silence. Dr. Sun waited patiently without asking further questions, always wearing a gentle and kind smile on his face.
With a long sigh, Zhang Yuanqing said: "I saw the arrogance of those in power, and I was very angry, but I was powerless. I said this sentence not long ago, and it was my most genuine feeling. I am dissatisfied with the subsequent punishment results of the Copper Sparrow Tower and dissatisfied with the Shkou District Security Department's refusal to admit its mistakes, but I can't change anything."
"Like most people, I can only complain in my heart."
Dr. Sun hurriedly asked: "What about now?"
Zhang Yuanqing slowly said: "I will probably still endure."
"Probably still endure means that there is also the possibility of acting on behalf of Heaven." Dr. Sun nodded and extended the topic, guiding him step by step: "It is undeniable that there is power everywhere in this world, and fairness and justice are also relative. An adult with rich social experience and life experience is often difficult to brainwash because they have seen too much injustice and darkness and no longer believe in goodness. What do you think?"
Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Although you are trying to trick me, I agree with your statement."
"No, it's not tricking, it's a heart-to-heart talk!" Dr. Sun corrected, and then listened to Yuan Shi Tianzun continue: "Because the human heart is like this, there is a good side to human nature, but there is also extreme selfishness and darkness. When a person has power, they will definitely seek benefits for themselves and for their family, so they will plunder those without power, and then exploitation and oppression will arise."
Zhang Yuanqing said: "I said I was powerless because I can't change human nature."
Dr. Sun initially understood Yuan Shi Tianzun's mentality, grasped his psychology, and decisively entered the third step - guidance.
He said: "Yes, human nature cannot be changed, so why not try to coexist with it? We can look at the darkness in human nature from a more rational and objective perspective."
"What do you think?"
He looked at Yuan Shi Tianzun with a burning gaze.
Zhang Yuanqing smiled. He looked back at Dr. Sun and said word by word: "Why should I coexist with it?"
Dr. Sun was stunned.
"Impossible!"
Elder Dog raised his voice: "Although I didn't detect the aura of a curse on him, the effect you wanted was achieved. Yuan Shi has indeed become extreme and eccentric in a short period of time. This is an objective fact."
Demon Eye Heavenly King revealed a strange smile and said: "Remember what he said that day when he came to see me?"
Elder Dog recalled slightly: "He said that greed is human nature. We must face human nature and face those dark sides. While punishing evil and promoting good, we must also learn to live in harmony with the world. I admire his words very much. They are very rational. This is right."
Demon Eye Heavenly King laughed loudly: "Bullshit! He's talking nonsense. He's fooling you. He's fooling himself."
"What do you mean!" Elder Dog's expression turned serious.
Demon Eye Heavenly King asked back: "Do you know why I value Yuan Shi Tianzun so much? I'm not familiar with him and don't know much about him. I really admire his courage to never use his power for personal gain, never bully good people, and to fight to the death with evil people for justice."
"But even though people like this are rare, I can still find quite a few if I try my best. But I have never favored a person so much, let alone regarded a righteous person as a companion."
"Only Yuan Shi Tianzun is an exception. Don't you think it's strange?"
Elder Dog fell into silence. He thought for a long time and vaguely had a guess in his heart: "You mean..."
Demon Eye Heavenly King laughed wildly: "Because he is such a person. Slickness is his protective color to cover up his stubbornness, and rationality is his guise to paralyze himself and others."
"He is an extremely stubborn madman with a beast hidden in his eyes. The first time I saw him, I smelled the scent of a kindred spirit from Yuan Shi Tianzun, even if he disguised it very well."
"He is destined to be my companion. We will join hands on the road to cleansing the world and eventually create a truly fair and just world without oppression or power."
Demon Eye's excited laughter echoed in the room.
"Why should I coexist with it!" Dr. Sun was stunned for a long time, staring sharply at Zhang Yuanqing: "Do you know what you're saying? What's the difference between your words and Demon Eye's?"
"The biggest difference is that I'm rational and he's not rational enough," Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart: "I know these words sound very extreme. Well, let me give you an example, Dr. Sun. If you saw a pile of dog shit on the street and you happened to have the time and tools to clean up the garbage, would you choose to clean it up?"
"I would!" Dr. Sun nodded.
"So, when I was just an ordinary person, I only dared to complain about some injustices in my heart because I knew I was powerless. But when I have the ability to sweep away those dirt and filth, why should I endure it? Why should I coexist with it? Coexistence is a compromise under powerlessness," Zhang Yuanqing said, telling his true feelings. "Your analogy is not appropriate. The correct analogy is that if I saw someone robbing on the street, I would subdue him and hand him over to the Security Department to let the law punish him," Dr. Sun said: "Instead of chopping off the hand that robbed him. If the power of the judiciary falls into the hands of individuals, that would be unfair to the weak. Yuan Shi, if everyone were like you, where would order be?"
Zhang Yuanqing retorted: "Then have you ever thought about it? You handed that robber over to the Security Department, and as a result, he was the Director's brother-in-law, and he turned around and let him go, and he continued to rob and steal outside. Is this fair to the weak?"
"If you insist on arguing that there is naturally law to punish the Director and his brother-in-law, then my example is still valid. Maybe the leader of the inspection team is their brother-in-law."
Dr. Sun thought to himself that he was almost led astray by you.
He took a deep breath and said in as gentle a voice as possible: "We said just now that human nature is ugly and needs to be punished. The investigation and punishment of derelict members of the Five Elements Alliance has never stopped. The example you gave is an individual case and belongs to a conceptual swap."
"If everyone did what you did, the world would be in chaos."
Zhang Yuanqing was silent. He didn't speak for a long time, seeming unable to refute.
Just as Dr. Sun was preparing to further shape his views, Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and said softly: "Do you know Wei Yuanzhou's grandfather?"
"I've heard of him!" Dr. Sun nodded.
"Then who will speak up for him? Who will give him justice? You said that the organization will punish him and raise his grandson for more than ten years. Has the organization punished him? Has it given him justice? If he wasn't desperate, would he be willing to go to extremes? The ancients said that things must be unbalanced before they make a sound. No one will give me justice and fairness, so I will naturally speak out," Zhang Yuanqing said: "And there are definitely not just a few cases like him. I even don't know if the so-called punishment that you mentioned has punished most of them, leaving only a few that slipped through the net, or only punished a very small group, and more of those who deserved to die are still at large."
"The number of illegal and undisciplined groups handled by the Five Elements Alliance is probably less than the number of powerful families killed by Demon Eye in a year. Is it possible that most of the looters and lawbreakers are still at large and have never been punished? Maybe they will never be punished in their lifetime."
"In that case, why do you say I'm wrong?"
Dr. Sun was silent for a moment.
Zhang Yuanqing continued: "I killed Wei Yuanzhou, but I'm not happy because even though Wei Yuanzhou deserved to die, he was also one of the victims. The ending of this matter is that the poor family is wiped out."
"So what exactly led to this ending? Was it me?"
"Of course, I admit that my approach was not appropriate and I was impulsive. I had a better way to deal with it, but that's because I have the ability and the channels to make Wei Yuanzhou accept punishment."
"But, Dr. Sun, many people have no way to appeal."
The room fell into silence. Dr. Sun was silent for a long time and stood up and said: "I understand what you're thinking. I don't think today's consultation needs to continue."
He nodded slightly and left the room.
Fu's Family Bay study.
Under the guidance of the bunny girl, Dr. Sun met Fu Qingyang.
"What were the diagnosis results?" Fu Qingyang asked.
Dr. Sun repeated the conversation between the two to Fu Qingyang and sighed: "He has a strong sense of justice, but he is extreme, stubborn, and prone to impulsive actions. What's worse is that his set of ideas is correct to some extent and is in line with public morality and the human heart, so it is even more difficult to reverse. How should we reverse the correct things!"
"But if we can't effectively curb and improve it, it is likely to become the second Demon Eye Heavenly King in the future."
Fu Qingyang's face sank, his elbows propped on the table, and he slowly said: "We still don't know what form Demon Eye used to curse. Elder Dog has already gone to test Demon Eye. I will tell you the results later, hoping to inspire your treatment plan."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Dr. Sun wanted to say something but hesitated, he frowned slightly, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."
Dr. Sun nodded and said: "Perhaps Demon Eye didn't curse him at all."
Fu Qingyang was stunned: "What do you mean!"
Dr. Sun carefully worded his words and said: "During the physical examination, I once asked about his family environment. Yuan Shi Tianzun lost his parents at a young age, and his parents left him to be taken care of by his grandparents, and he was poorly managed."
"A child suddenly living in an unfamiliar environment has a big impact on him. If he is often bullied during his studies..."
Fu Qingyang's face became more and more ugly, and he coldly interrupted him: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Dr. Sun smiled bitterly: "Is it possible that this is the real Yuan Shi Tianzun? Being smooth and good at communication is his choice to adapt to the environment. The rationality we saw before is also the same."
"Rational, cheerful, and good at communication is his superficial personality, but in fact, the base color of his personality is stubborn and unyielding." I once wrote in the evaluation that he is an idealist... In fact, this is the tip of the iceberg of his true personality."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Fu Qingyang and saw that he was listening with a serious face before continuing: "After he became a Spirit Envoy, his ability became stronger and stronger, and his level became higher and higher, and he subconsciously felt that he no longer needed to disguise himself, so he gradually began to show his true personality."
Fu Qingyang said angrily: "No, Yuan Shi is not such a person. If the personality he showed was all a disguise, do you think I wouldn't be able to see it?"
But Dr. Sun said: "This is possible, for example, he himself didn't realize his true personality. For example, the second personality we often talk about."
"Search on Baidu for Deep Space Beyond..., a master will remember in a second: m?.j?h?s?s?d?.?c?o?m!"
