Ren Yi impatiently said, “Are you trying to promote your brainwashing tactics again? Listen carefully, I don’t give a damn about your ideals, your beliefs, or your life pursuits. All I know is that you’re a worthless murderer, a beast who even killed his own wife and children. I want to stop you from harming more innocent people.”wPGZyJhdppnafbLqhvomdSEhdhGXVv

“You are the evil soul; you don’t need to be enlightened; you need to be purified.” Bai Chicheng’s gaze was chilling, “Fire is the will of the divine, the will of nature.

“Exactly, humans are the most delusional creatures in this world. Let me give you an example: in the animal kingdom, photographers watch animals hunt and be hunted without intervening, because humans love to preach ‘don’t go against the laws of nature,’ which is so hypocritical it makes me want to vomit.” Bai Chicheng showed a look of disgust, “Humans are like this with their double standards. Only humans continuously violate the laws of nature, wanting immortality, wanting to transform the Earth, wanting to control the fate of other beings. If you truly didn’t want to go against the laws of nature, you should let fire burn freely, let water flow freely, and let the will of the divine spread to all places and all things. Don’t you understand that the reason humans suffer from fires is because they foolishly try to use fire and are then bitten back?”gGpXQGaAzwgUEpgzrUvmLVejmeShZX

Ren Yi narrowed his eyes: “There’s one thing I have to admire about Purple Flame; really, aside from their top-notch brainwashing skills, their ability to identify people is also strong. How did they pick you out from so many normal people?” He then feigned realization, “Oh, Seraphim, right, that gathering place for perverts.”YZZZFdZKWCLFDfbwFlcIzIJPQlUMpd

“Exactly. After tracing Wang Minde, through his social connections and financial dealings, suspicion fell on you. Yue Xingu, did you bribe the doctor who provided psychological intervention for Gong Yingxian nineteen years ago, implanting false psychological suggestions in a six-year-old child who had just lost his family? After realizing the situation might be exposed, did you kill Wang Minde to silence him?”BFReKbrEbTvNhxsarABBgbJCqHmofU

After Ren Yi’s furious accusation, a sudden thought struck him. Wang Minde had been safe for nineteen years; how did Yue Xingu know they were suspicious of Wang Minde? Timing-wise, it seemed that as soon as Gong Yingxian found out about Wang Minde, Yue Xingu had acted. Was there a leak during the investigation? Did someone tip him off? How was it leaked, and who leaked it?oAqmREJGTRgaTfWmOIYVlNKTTAEYiK
