Chapter 344 Taking up the Weapon of Law

"What do you want?"

It was as if a voice sounded, questioning Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng stood on the street in a daze, not knowing who to answer this question to.

He just felt as if he had experienced countless lives and had countless identities in a short moment.

All of these identities met with extremely tragic fates, and each fate strongly stimulated some negative emotions in him.

Jealousy, anger, greed, depression, fear and so on.

Every emotion comes with an opportunity to change or vent.

However, Shen Cheng never committed any murder from beginning to end, allowing these opportunities to slip away before his eyes.

Every time there is a voice in his ear questioning him - what do you really want?
The voice became more and more anxious and impatient, but Shen Cheng remained silent.

Until this moment, standing on the busy street, countless memories in my mind are fading away, and new memories are coming to my mind.

This time, Shen Cheng's identity was extremely prominent. He was the son of the richest man. He had been living a life of luxury since childhood, enjoying all the splendor and wealth...

boom!boom!
At this moment, two people fell from the sky one after another and died in front of Shen Cheng.

These two photos look like a middle-aged couple who jumped from dozens of floors high. Their death was very miserable, which scared the passers-by around them.

Shen Cheng stared at the two bodies blankly, and finally recognized that they were his parents.

All kinds of memories surged in his mind. It turned out that his parents had been framed and bankrupted several months ago. The wealth of the richest man was plundered, and Shen Cheng's sister died in a car accident last month.

His parents failed to get justice, and finally today they both fell to their deaths from the building that originally belonged to them.

Shen Cheng was still standing there in a daze, staring blankly at the two bodies. He had rushed here after receiving the suicide note left by his parents, and he didn't expect to witness such a tragedy with his own eyes.

Suddenly, a luxury car stopped not far away.

The car door opened and a pampered middle-aged man got out.

He looked at the two bodies on the ground. Instead of being afraid, he showed a faint smile on his face. Then he sighed in a pretentious manner, "How pitiful! The richest man has ended up like this."

Shen Cheng slowly raised his head and looked at the wealthy middle-aged man in front of him.

This man's name is Jin Xing. He is a capable subordinate trusted by Shen Cheng's parents. It was also he who sold the company's secrets to outsiders and cooperated with competitors to set up a secret scheme, which led to Shen Cheng's family falling into their current situation.

Now seeing his enemy appear, a strong hatred began to slowly emerge in Shen Cheng's chest.

Relying on the bodyguards following him, Jin Xing came in front of the silly Shen Cheng.

"why?"

Shen Cheng suddenly asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Not only his parents, but his whole family treated Jin Xing very well. He couldn't understand why Jin Xing would betray his parents.

At this time, there were already many onlookers around. When Jin Xing heard Shen Cheng's words, he asked in surprise: "Why don't I understand what you are saying? Your family's bankruptcy is just a mistake made by your parents. What does it have to do with me?"

The expression on his face was extremely sincere, without any flaws at all.

Perhaps only such powerful acting skills could deceive Shen Cheng's entire family.

"Haha, since you call me Uncle Jin Xing, I'll tell you the truth."

Seeing Shen Cheng still in a daze, Jin Xing felt a sense of mischief in his heart. He took a step forward and leaned close to Shen Cheng's ear: "Because your parents are too stingy, I have worked so hard for them for so long, but they only gave me a little bit of shares. Since they are unfair, don't blame me for being ruthless. To tell you the truth, I hired someone to hit your sister, and I also arranged for someone to throw your parents down from the upstairs. Keeping your whole family here will always be a problem. As for you, when do you think I will take action?"

After that, Jin Xing patted Shen Cheng's shoulder gently, and then adjusted his collar for him, and his voice rose slightly: "Don't worry, Uncle Jin Xing will take good care of you in the future."

Many onlookers heard this sentence. They were all white-collar workers nearby. Of course, they also recognized Shen Cheng, the son of the former richest man, and Jin Xing, the new owner of the building.

The dazed look on Shen Cheng's face had disappeared, replaced by a kind of indifference. An extreme hatred made his whole body tremble, his hands and feet tremble slightly, and his eyes were bloodshot and swollen.

Jin Xing was startled by the change in Shen Cheng's expression and subconsciously took a step back, trying to keep some distance.

Shen Cheng pounced on him and knocked Jin Xing to the ground.

Seeing this, the bodyguards around them hurriedly wanted to rush over to rescue, but they heard Shen Cheng yelling, "Don't come over."

Shen Cheng strangled Jin Xing's head with one hand, and with the other hand he took out the knife that he had hidden on his body and put the tip of the knife against Jin Xing's throat.

Seeing Jin Xing being held hostage, the bodyguards were shocked and didn't dare to get any closer.

The onlookers even made a commotion, wondering if the son of the former richest man had been so shocked that he had gone crazy.

Jin Xing had just comforted him and said that he would take good care of him, but he turned around and held him hostage.

"Don't be impulsive."

Jin Xing tried to stay calm, but his voice was trembling slightly: "If you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't do anything rash."

Shen Cheng stared at him with his head down: "You want to wipe out my entire family? Do you think I will let you go? At worst, I will drag you down with me."

"I was just kidding you!"

Jin Xing said with a sad face: "Everything I just said to you was false. I had nothing to do with the death of your parents and sister. I just couldn't help but lie to you because I wanted to show off."

He is regretting now, extremely regretful.

I originally thought that this timid boy was no longer a threat and that he couldn't do anything to me with my bodyguards in public, but I didn't expect that he would carry a knife with him.

"Haha, do you think I will still believe your lies after all this?"

Shen Cheng sneered in a low voice, his red and swollen eyes seemed to be dripping with blood: "In the suicide note my parents left me, they told me that you are the culprit."

Hatred made his hands stronger, and the tip of the knife had already pierced into the skin of Jin Xing's throat, and a drop of blood flowed out.

"stop it!"

Jin Xing screamed in fear: "You have to pay with your life for killing someone in the street. You don't want your Shen family to be extinct, do you?"

Shen Cheng didn't say anything, but the knife in his hand became tighter and tighter.

The intense hatred in his heart seemed to have turned into substance, transforming into his parents standing behind him, holding his hands together, and slowly applying force.

"Son, kill him and avenge us."

His parents said this behind his back.

"elder brother."

Shen Cheng's sister seemed to appear before him, begging him: "Kill him quickly and avenge me."

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The onlookers around also started shouting.

Originally there were only a few people shouting, but soon more and more people joined in, and the noise gradually became uniform, and even the bodyguards joined in.

Thousands of onlookers shouted at the same time, the sound was deafening. "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Jin Xing also changed his previous begging look and shouted at Shen Cheng at the top of his lungs: "You weakling, if you have the guts, kill me and avenge your parents and sister."

Hatred is the strongest desire and emotion. When it reaches its extreme, it can even completely change a person's personality.

Driven by hatred, Shen Cheng's knife pierced into Jin Xing's neck bit by bit, and blood gushed out.

Instead of being afraid, Jin Xing became even more fanatical and excited, shouting and urging along with the people around him.

If it goes in a little bit deeper, it will cause irreparable damage and kill Jin Xing completely.

But at the last moment, Shen Cheng stopped and did not go any further.

The shouting became more and more intense. Shen Cheng's parents and sister kept begging him, and Jin Xing also used foul language to insult and provoke him.

Shen Cheng did not continue to attack, but slowly pulled out the knife.

The surrounding voices stopped and everyone stared at him in a daze.

Jin Xing felt the same way. He didn't understand why Shen Cheng could endure such hatred that could kill his entire family.

He asked in disbelief: "Why don't you do it?"

Shen Cheng shook his head and said, "This is not what I want."

It was this sentence again that made Jin Xing's expression completely stiff.

He yelled at Shen Cheng in a rage: "Are you going to let your enemy go just like that? Let go of the enemy who killed your entire family?"

Just then, the alarm sounded.

The police finally arrived, rushed into the crowd, drew their guns and pointed them at Shen Cheng, ordering him to put down the knife in his hand.

Shen Cheng threw the knife in his hand to the ground as expected, and several bodyguards immediately rushed up to rescue Jin Xing. The onlookers around also returned to normal, as if the shouting in unison just now was just an illusion.

Jin Xing broke free from the support of several bodyguards, started to tidy up his messy clothes, and then sneered at Shen Cheng and said sarcastically: "That was your last chance to take revenge on me, but it was a pity that you wasted it."

Shen Cheng's parents and sister, who had turned into hatred, were also looking at Shen Cheng with extremely sad eyes.

"Not necessarily."

Shen Cheng took out his cell phone and pressed the play button.

"To tell you the truth, I hired someone to hit your sister, and I also arranged for someone to throw your parents down from the building..."

Jin Xing's voice came from the phone. It turned out that Shen Cheng had secretly recorded it.

Jin Xing's face turned pale all of a sudden, and the eyes of the onlookers and the police fell on him in an instant.

He rushed forward and tried to snatch Shen Cheng's cell phone, but Shen Cheng let him take it away.

After snatching the phone, Jin Xing wanted to delete the recording, but found that Shen Cheng not only turned on the recording, but also turned on the live broadcast software. Everything they experienced here had already begun to spread on the Internet.

Lost!

I totally lost!

Jin Xing looked dejected and let the phone slip from his hand and fall heavily to the ground.

In this spiritual confrontation, both sides have things they need to do.

What Jin Xing wants to do is to lure Shen Cheng into following his desire and killing his enemy.

Every enemy is actually Shen Cheng himself. If Shen Cheng kills his enemies with his own hands, it would be equivalent to suicide.

What Shen Cheng has to do is to succeed in revenge, and to succeed in revenge he must kill someone, and killing the enemy with one's own hands is suicide.

Jin Xing was originally invincible, because if Shen Cheng wanted to take revenge successfully, he had to kill his enemy. If he killed someone with his own hands, it would be suicide, and Jin Xing would win.

If Shen Cheng didn't fall for it and didn't kill anyone, then he and Jin Xing would be tied.

So for Jin Xing, he would feel comfortable dragging Shen Cheng in only if the two outcomes were a draw or a win.

Who would have known that in the many scenarios designed by Jin Xing, Shen Cheng forced himself not to kill his enemies personally every time.

If this is the case, the best that can be considered a draw is for both sides.

Although Shen Cheng did not kill people personally, he learned to use the weapon of law to punish his enemies.

In such a spiritual confrontation, Jin Xing must ensure the basic operating logic of this world, otherwise he will be backlashed, so the law is effective.

Every time Shen Cheng punished his enemies with the law without taking action himself, he neither fell for it (killed people himself) nor failed to achieve his goal (successfully taking revenge).

The only loophole that could lead to victory was found by Shen Cheng, and Jin Xing lost miserably.

The surrounding onlookers, police and bodyguards all disappeared, leaving only Jin Xing and Shen Cheng.

All negative emotions and desires have been tried, and the hatred just now was the final confrontation.

Jin Xing looked up at Shen Cheng, with strong doubt in his voice: "Why can you hold back every time? Why don't you do it yourself every time?"

Even the most timid and cowardly person would lose his rationality under such strong stimulation, and it should be impossible for him to hold back.

And Shen Cheng doesn't look like a timid or law-abiding person.

Although Jin Xing lost, he still wanted to know the answer to this question.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng replied: "Because that's not what I want."

Hearing this, Jin Xing's expression was completely distorted, and he shouted at Shen Cheng in frustration: "You said this again? Do you know that I almost went crazy when I heard this! What on earth do you want? You bastard!"

In every confrontation, Jin Xing would always ask the same question, and Shen Cheng would always say this sentence, but never said what he really wanted.

Even Jin Xing, who was so well-mannered, was forced to completely lose his composure.

"What do I want?"

Shen Cheng repeated this sentence, as if he was asking himself again, with a look of confusion on his face.

With the victory of the mental confrontation, Shen Cheng's memories that were blocked by Jin Xing also quickly returned. He remembered every bit of himself, his two lives, what he saw and heard in his two lives, and the wish that was once buried deep underground.

"I want to... see the infinite future, I want to touch countless possibilities, I want to know the mysteries of the universe, I want to know the origin and end of all things..."

Shen Cheng recited silently, his voice became louder and louder, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Shen Cheng finally remembered his previous wish.

That's why he became an explorer, because he wanted to explore more unknown areas and explore more possibilities.

This wish gradually became vague after years of exploration, and after the time travel, it was kept deep in my heart, turning into a simple desire for adventure.
