Chapter 54: Hurting Others Without Blinking (2/2)

“What do you mean alienate?” I asked, not understanding.

”His situation is very special. I can only explain it to you based on my under-standing.” Liu Shuai said after thinking about it, ”From his words today, I can see that he has a complete set of knowledge about this world. Furthermore, he has begun to have the ability to make use of some of the loopholes in this world and do things that he originally didn't want to do, wasn't willing to do, or didn't dare to do when he had a soul, such as —”

“Such as hurting others with some furtive tactics while not making himself in-volved in it.” I took over Liu Shuai's words, ”What will happen in the future?”

”Do you remember what Avalokiteshvara said about the sheriff setting fires?” Liu Shuai suddenly asked me this question.

“Sheriff setting fires... Yes, I remember it.” I thought about it, then said, ”Zhang Chi Hang said that the sheriff set fires not because he took the position of sheriff. He probably had that idea when he was an ordinary person.”

”Exactly,” Liu Shuai nodded. ”Zhou Yuan already has such an idea. He was totally careless when he made the description just now. If he really rises to a higher level in the future, no matter what industry he is…”

I was so scared that my hair stood on end. I couldn't imagine what Zhou Yu-an would be at that time, but it would absolutely not be the same Zhou Yuan in our memory.

I suddenly became flustered. “We planned to discuss Zhou Yuan about his con-ditions today, but it seems like there's no need to discuss it further. Let’s just bring him to my place and the three of us can honestly talk and see what we can do.” After that, I looked at Liu Shuai, then I thought for a while and firmly said, “I’m sorry, Liu Shuai. I have to save Zhou Yuan first. I'll think of a way to ask Avalokiteshvara to help you later.”

Liu Shuai blushed and punched me, ”What are you talking about? Are you a man or not? Zhou Yuan is also my friend. He's in such a situation yet you still try to act pretentiously? Don't say anything, I’ fine, but it is just Yan… ”

”I cannot take care of Yan this time.” I continued, ”But, Zhou Yuan's soul in Yan’s Mirror World. If we cannot get his soul, Avalokiteshvara's medicine wouldn't work. We must properly persuade Yan on this matter.”

It was the following night.

I straightly brought Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai to my place. Zhou Yuan was very obedient. He watched us chatting with Yan who was in the mirror about our current situation.

Yan had gotten addicted to watching online television recently, so we had to turn on the TV and let him watch it while listening us to explain the current situation.

After we finished speaking, Yan blinked and turned off the television. He frowned as he walked back and forth in the mirror world. Liu Shuai and I couldn’t help but feel a little scared as we watched him passing through us time and time again in the mirror.

”Yan …” I thought for a while and mustered up my courage, ”I know that it’s not fair with you, but we feel that Zhou Yuan's condition is extremely dangerous. If this goes on, I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold on for long, so I can only ask for your sacrifice.”

Yan lowered his head with a distressed expression. After a while, he raised his head and told us, ”I understand what you mean. It’s fine if I go out sooner or later. Anyway you have found Avalokiteshvara, so there will be more chance to ask him for medicines.”

Seeing Yan being so generous, Liu Shuai and I couldn't help but become spirited, as if the dark clouds of the day had been swept away.

”But,” Yan thought for a moment. “There is a bad news.”

Liu Shuai and I suddenly felt as we fell from heaven to hell.

“There is only half of Zhou Yuan's soul left.”
