I still couldn't forget the scene of corpses and blood flowing like a river, especially when the Blood Demon said to me, 'One day, you will become mine.'
Although I didn't know why the Blood Demon was so sure, I couldn't deny that he knew a lot of secrets. Moreover, the current situation was completely out of my control.
Taking it literally, I would sooner or later become a demon who would kill without blinking an eye. However, according to my nature, I would never do such a heinous thing. In other words, it would only happen when I was possessed by the devil, or when I lost my mind in a fit of rage.
After hearing my answer, Curator Du heaved a sigh of relief. There was no other way. In fact, he had already thought about it. He would respect my decision. Even if he had to delay it day by day, or if I had to run away from the Huaxia Country, Curator Du wouldn't have any complaints.
What made him feel lucky was that I understood the big picture. It would be safer this way. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be avoided.
"Xiao Zhuang, it's not that you want me to turn myself in. It's just that we need to sit down and have a good talk to find the best way to deal with it. Sigh, I can see that you are a kind-hearted child. Although the Blood Demon started because of you, you didn't have a choice. Moreover, some things are destined by the heavens." Curator Du patted my shoulder and said sincerely.
Indeed, I was responsible for the Blood Demon's growth, but I had to admit that I was also helpless. I had always been led by the nose by the Blood Demon. There were several times when I was on the verge of death, but I had relied on the Blood Demon's power to avert the danger and obtain supreme glory. It was like playing a game with a cheat code. Others didn't have a cheat code, but only I did. I could kill one person with one shot. That feeling was simply wonderful.
It was a wonderful feeling. Moreover, this thing was very addictive. Actually, the Blood Demon had been tempting me, trying to make me his puppet. However, I didn't foolishly fall for his tricks. Otherwise, I would have ended up like Zhong Yuchen.
Not only Liu Jie and the others, but my family and friends would also be affected.
"Director Du, thank you for your guidance."
I said gratefully. I had known Curator Du for a long time, and he was like a teacher and a friend to me. Most of the time, Curator Du was more like a father to me. Not only was he kind, but he also guided me patiently.
Ever since I had left the village, I hadn't had much contact with my parents. The last time I had seen them was when my cousin had passed away. They had come all the way from the village.
They had almost no idea what happened to me. They thought I was still studying hard at No.3 High School and living a regular life …
It was precisely because I didn't have my parents to teach me that I needed to be self-reliant. Fortunately, I had Curator Du, Grandmaster Chen, and the other elders who trusted me wholeheartedly. That's why I was able to walk step by step to where I was today. Thinking back to the experience of the past six months, it was like a dream.
"No, no, the one who should thank you is me. Look at the prestige of the Heavenly Eagle Martial Arts School. Not only is it famous in Nan Yun, but almost all the martial arts enthusiasts in the country know that there is a magical martial arts school in Nan Yun that has produced an extraordinary little guy. My own status has also risen. It's not an exaggeration to say that you have helped me realize my original dream. If it wasn't for your help, Gu Yue wouldn't have returned to my side. You are my benefactor."
Curator Du said excitedly. If it was possible, he would like to bear the burden alone, no matter how serious the consequences were. However, this idea was obviously unrealistic.
"Curator Du is exaggerating. This is what I should do." I waved my hand and didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
We were originally on the same line. Now that it was time for me to take the initiative to bear the responsibility, I naturally wouldn't be ambiguous. Previously, I had considered telling the truth and receiving leniency, but I didn't know who to tell the truth to.
Now, Curator Du had pointed out a bright path for me. Although I had promised Curator Du, I didn't want to go to the capital immediately. After leaving for so long, I finally returned to Nan Yun with great difficulty. At least I should accompany them more.
Most importantly, I still wasn't sure where the Blood Demon was right now. If he staged a diversion again and lured the tiger away from the mountain, then wouldn't I be finished!
So after thinking about it, I made an agreement with Curator Du and asked him to give me another three to five days. Curator Du hesitated slightly, but still agreed to it. Actually, I also understood his concerns. Since the higher-ups attached so much importance to it, it meant that they were investigating. If they found out the truth in these few days, then it would be very embarrassing.
After all, we had already decided to tell the truth. It was like turning oneself in. Taking the initiative and "bragging" after being caught were two completely different things.
So I had to hurry up and arrange the matters on Nan Yun's side. First, I had to ensure the safety of Liu Jie and the others. Second, I had to treat Grandpa Shangguan's illness. That's right, there was also old man Ouyang's secret martial arts!
This was also the most important thing. As the saying goes, having more skills is not a burden. Although I had mastered the True Martial Seven Extremes, I still had to use it according to the situation. Yi Jinjing was mainly used to protect the body. Dragon Fist was not bad, but it also had some limitations. If I could get old man Ouyang's secret martial arts, my combat power would definitely increase significantly.
Looking at the time, it was already past three o 'clock in the afternoon. It seemed a bit late to rush to the military area. After all, it would take a few hours to drive from Kun City. Besides the highway, there were also many rugged and winding mountain roads.
I simply said goodbye to my sister-in-law and the others, and then prepared to go find old man Ouyang. Taking advantage of my current reputation, it was necessary to hurry up. Moreover, I was also afraid that a long night would bring many dreams. If something happened to old man Ouyang, then where would I go to cry?
