Demon Refinement (3)

0After being imprisoned, Li Chong cried out for justice. Under the constables' oppression, he could only offer large sums of money. But before he could have his case elevated elsewhere, he was 'hanged' in prison.

He only learned the truth before he died.

"You pitiful worm. Master Wang from the county has gotten together with your wife, so he wants you dead."

The two murderers carried him up and hung him by his neck, immediately killing him.

The memories ended.

"Hahaha… Isn't it ridiculous?" Li Chong in his demon form appeared and stared at Xu Jingming with his blood-colored eyes. "This world is ridiculous, isn't it? I worked hard to manage my business, and I was bullied by the officials and the gangs, but in the end, my wife and children were robbed from me. My assets were snatched, and I died in prison as an innocent man."

"As for the officials, they remain high and mighty despite their utter disregard of human lives."

"Wang Han is a tyrant in Liuxian County. He has caused the deaths of countless people, but he remains free."

"In this world, good people can still lose their lives despite working hard to make an honest living! Villains commit evil and harm lives, but they can enjoy all kinds of riches!"

"Is this world wrong, or am I wrong?" Li Chong in his demon form stared at Xu Jingming, his blood-colored eyes filled with confusion. "Am I not supposed to be a good person but a villain?"

"How satisfying is it to be a villain? Who would dare to bully me? I can't accept it!" Li Chong's voice echoed in Xu Jingming's consciousness.

Li Chong's obsession had already attacked Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness. The collision of obsession and mind was also the most dangerous moment.

"Those two murderers said that you were a pitiful worm." Xu Jingming's consciousness was very calm. "You're indeed very pitiful, and you're pitifully stupid."

"I'm pitiful? I'm stupid?" Demon Li Chong's mind became even more frenzied. "I was stupid not to be a villain! Isn't it better now for me to be a villain, a devil?"

"That's why you are going to end up being refined by me," Xu Jingming replied with his subconscious.

Demon Li Chong was stunned.

"I said you were stupid, but you didn't believe me. You want to be a villain because a villain wants you dead?" Xu Jingming continued with his subconscious, "Then, should you become a dog if you die from a dog bite?"

Demon Li Chong was momentarily at a loss for words. He felt that it was better to be the villain who killed him.

Then, what if he died from a dog's bite?

"If a dog bites me to death, it's because the dog is too strong. I can't defeat it." Demon Li Chong finally came up with a reason. "If it were an ordinary dog, I would've long kicked it to death."

"A villain killed you because he was too strong. You couldn't defeat him," Xu Jingming said. "If it were an ordinary villain, you would've long sent a few guards to kill him."

"Hooligans bully you because their gang is stronger than you."

"The officials dare to bully you because they are stronger than you."

"You're miserable not because you're a good person but because you're weak!" Xu Jingming explained.

Demon Li Chong stared at him in a daze.

"Even if you're a villain, if you're weak, you'll be devoured by stronger villains," Xu Jingming continued. "Just like now, you're a demon. A Human Demon like you will still be refined by me!"

"It's all because I'm weak?" Demon Li Chong murmured. He was somewhat convinced.

"You're indeed pitiful," Xu Jingming said. "If this world were peaceful, you would naturally be a rich man. But in this world, demons are at work, and they can slaughter everything at any time. Any family or faction will think of ways to become stronger—all of this in order to survive!"

"In such a chaotic world, being weak is a sin." Xu Jingming's consciousness voice struck Li Chong's obsession, which was already on the verge of collapse.
