Chapter 52: Sherlock Holmes Shi Xiaobai

Everyone has a balance in their hearts, weighing the so-called justice, but when life is placed on both sides of the balance of sacrifice and redemption, people's standards for weighing justice will have differences.

Some people regard life as cold numbers, put larger numbers on the end of redemption, and therefore abandon smaller numbers on the end of sacrifice. They measure rationally, draw conclusions that they think are the highest returns, and strictly enforce it.

The other part regards life as a mass weight. The severity of life determines which side should be the end of sacrifice and which side should be redeemed. They distinguish the weight of life emotionally and then rationally abandon the lighter part.

Put these two different values ​​on the problems Shi Xiaobai faces at this time. The former will choose to save the criminals, while the latter will choose to save Shan Liang.

So, what choice would Shi Xiaobai make? Or, what kind of justice in Shi Xiaobai's heart belongs to?

Hua Li stared at Shi Xiaobai with interesting interest. Although the two of them were hidden in the black clouds at this time, the black clouds were filled with light, so Hua Li could clearly see Shi Xiaobai's expression.

"There are only these two options?" Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment, and seemed to have no answer, but instead asked a question.

Hua Li was stunned and then asked with a smile: "Do you want to save both sides?"

"No!"

Shi Xiaobai suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed it in a certain direction, and said with a serious look on his face: "I want to save... it is it!"

Hua Li looked along Shi Xiaobai's finger and saw a little cat walking between Can Heng's broken walls.

How come there are kittens swaying so leisurely in this hellish disaster place?

No, this is not the key, the key is - is Shi Xiaobai trying to save this little cat?

"Did you want to ask me from the beginning... Can you save this cat?" Huali couldn't help but think of this possibility.

"Of course!" Shi Xiaobai nodded seriously.

Hua Li's pretty face suddenly turned red, remembering that she had interrupted Shi Xiaobai before and said a bunch of "nonsense" that she thought was profound. It turned out that she was self-indulgent?

But at the same time, her heart sank slightly again. The reason why she asked Shi Xiaobai to choose was obviously to see how he viewed justice and how to choose sacrifices and salvation for life. But she didn't expect that Shi Xiaobai actually chose a cat between humans and cats.

Could it be that Shi Xiaobai is actually a man of hard work?

"Why don't you save those humans, but instead save a cat?" Huali put away her smile and her expression became serious. Since she was his mentor, she naturally had to figure things out and guide the child towards the correct values.

"While thinking about dying, damn it, why should I save it?" Shi Xiaobai's expression was equally serious, even more serious than Huali.

Hua Li was stunned when she heard this. She chewed on this sentence. The light that had already restrained in her eyes suddenly bottomed out and rebounded, becoming more and more intense.

"I want to hear your thoughts, can you tell me?" Hua Li blinked and smiled like a little girl who longed to listen to stories.

Shi Xiaobai was slightly stunned, glanced at the earth, and saw Shan Liang who was looking up at the sky and the criminals who fled in a panic, and then sighed deeply.

"I don't know what kind of sins the criminals have been infected with, nor do I know whether they are grateful to the hero in their hearts, nor do I know if they will change their minds and become human again if they survive. But there is one thing that I know very well. They have never helped each other, and even pull their companions and harm others while running for their lives."

"They are selfish monsters, succumbing to instinctive maggots. If they are saved, they will likely hurt others in the future due to selfishness and desire. The reason why darkness is dark is because they often devour light. If they save darkness, they will add a few shadows to the world, why bother?

"No one forces them to run towards death. The direction of life and the direction of running at this time are their own choices. They will die because - they deserve to die. I will not save those who deserve to die!"

After Shi Xiaobai finished this passage in a heavy tone, he paused for a moment, turned to look at the figure lying on the silver-scale tiger-headed snake, his eyes a little dazed.

Hua Li nodded and shouted softly, "Yeah, um" in her mouth. Seeing Shi Xiaobai paused, she urged, "Continue?"

"He lives very tired, and death may be a relief for him."

Shi Xiaobai pointed at Shan Liang and said, "I don't know what he has experienced, but you just said that his supernatural power is called 'Death Dream', and when used, it requires sacrifice to a fresh head. His movement of cutting off the criminal's head gave me a feeling. His intuition told me that his movements were very smooth and skillful, as if he had practiced thousands of times."

"So I think that he has killed people, and has killed many people. Because fresh heads are needed, the people he has killed are not just enemies, but most likely some of them are companions, friends, and even close people."

"Why would such a cruel and cruel person sacrifice his life to save a group of hopeless scum?"

Shi Xiaobai turned his head and looked at Hua Li and asked softly.

"Why?" Hua Li looked at Shi Xiaobai's face, which looked much handsome because of his seriousness. She was too lazy to think about why, so she asked directly.

"Because he was redeemed."

Shi Xiaobai felt that Huali's eyes were a little weird, and quickly turned to look at the ground and whispered: "He was redeemed by someone or something, realized his mistake, regretted his sins, and longed to leave the darkness and go to the light. When he saw those criminals, he thought of his former self, so he thought that if he did not redeem those criminals, then the fact that he had obtained redemption would seem sad and ridiculous."

"He has a sufficient reason to save the criminal, but it is not enough to make him sacrifice his life. So why did he do this?"

Huali held her little face and said with a smile: "Why?"

Shi Xiaobai was quite satisfied with Huali's reaction and continued: "Because he wants to die. There are obviously many ways to atone for sins. Saving these criminals cannot even be called "atonement". He should know that if he lives, he can save more kind people. But even though he knows that he will die, he still insists on saving these criminals. The reason is very simple, he always wants to die."

"For a person who hates himself because of his sins, living is a nightmare. So death becomes a relief. He wants to die, but he doesn't want to die casually. He has been waiting for the best way of death for him."

"If saving these criminals is equivalent to saving themselves as a person who was once, and if they give their lives for it, will the fact that they are redeemed become less humble and ridiculous, and will they become great and touching because of their own death?"

"Maybe I can also feel how the person who once saved himself?"

"To sum up, I think he doesn't want to live anymore. Why should I disturb his liberation if I want to die?"

After Shi Xiaobai said that, he smiled slightly, a little bitter.

"Awesome!" Hua Li couldn't help but give Shi Xiaobai a thumbs up.

"Tell me, I remember that I passed countless mystery games back then and was named Sherlock Holmes Shi Xiaobai. I think that I was... "

Shi Xiaobai grinned and counted his past achievements with great enthusiasm, but as he spoke, he became silent, and a depressing atmosphere filled him.

"Then... I won't save you?" Hua Li asked softly.

"No help!" Shi Xiaobai's voice trembled slightly.

Hua Li sighed. Even though Shi Xiaobai reasoned well, even if he really made all of them, even if Shan Liang and the criminals really didn't need to rescue him, a thirteen-year-old child, watching the lives of others towards death, had to grit his teeth and watch coldly. He must feel uncomfortable, right?

"Hey, sister Elf, you are very strong, right?" Shi Xiaobai asked suddenly.

Hua Li was stunned. She didn't know what to think about the title "elf sister". Although the elf was her identity at the beginning, she was not disgusted with Shi Xiaobai's intimate title such as "sister", but after all, she was already... Bah, no mention of age! Besides, she is Shi Xiaobai's mentor.

Hua Li wanted to be here, but suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Shi Xiaobai that she was his mentor.

"Well, it's very strong." Huali decided to ignore the title of "Elf Sister" for the time being.

"Where is comparing with the bald uncle?" Shi Xiaobai lowered his head and couldn't see clearly.

Hua Li was stunned for a moment before she realized that the bald uncle Shi Xiaobai was talking about was Yiquan, and she immediately smiled brightly, "I'm stronger."

Shi Xiaobai suddenly looked up, with hope in his eyes and shouted: "Then can you kill those two monsters? Sister Ultraman!"

Ultraman sister?

Before Huali could digest Shi Xiaobai's words, she was shocked by this weird name. What is Ultraman?

"Don't get me wrong!"

Shi Xiaobai's cheeks were a little red, but his tone was very serious, and he said seriously: "I am not trying to save those stupid humans, but since I have come to this world, then sooner or later, this world will bow down to me and give in to me. Every inch of land in this world will be owned by me! These little monsters with no eyes actually dare to destroy me in my territory, and their crimes should be punished!"

"Well, I am definitely not trying to save them, but to safeguard the king's dignity!"

Hua Li finally understood what Shi Xiaobai meant now, and immediately burst into laughter, stretched out her hands to pinch Shi Xiaobai's cheek, and shouted: "Why are you so cute?"

This little guy can see through everything better than anyone else, but he is more soft-hearted than anyone else.

His cheeks were ravaged by Huali, and Shi Xiaobai could not bear such "teasing". He quickly broke away from Huali's little hand, covered his face, and said aggrievedly: "Can you do it?"

It looked like a child asking for a toy.

"Yeah, I promise you."

Huali withdrew her hand, looked down at the criminals who were about to collide with Chimera, and whispered: "It's not for saving anyone, but for you."
