Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Whether you submit or not, what does it have to do with me?

Li Zheng said calmly, "I never intended to kill you. On the contrary, after hearing about your experiences, I want to sincerely apologize to you. It was my oversight that led to this situation and caused you to suffer."

At the same time, I also want to apologize to you on behalf of the terminal. He did not consider all aspects when formulating the rules, which resulted in loopholes that could be exploited.

I know some of the damage is irreversible, but I believe I don't deserve to die. After all, the number of people who survived because of me far exceeds the number of people who were harmed.

This may hurt your feelings, but it's the truth.

"As for you..." Li Zheng glanced at them again, especially at a few of the girls: "While some people's experiences are worthy of sympathy, and my words may sound like hindsight, I still want to say... you really underestimate me, Li Zheng!"
So what if you have solid evidence, even if you killed someone?

Some people deserve to die, like those mud-covered people I killed. If I had been ruthless enough to wipe them all out, the tragedy of over a hundred people dying in their attack on the Qidian Legion wouldn't have happened!

"I have no right to tell you to let go of the past and stop living in the shadow of the trauma you suffered, but people always have to look forward."

As for the resentment in my heart, I'll let go of what I can, and continue to hold on to what I can't. If anyone uses this to transfer their hatred and wants to kill me, I'll oblige.

“But now, the outer city does not tolerate those who are bloodthirsty, so I will take away the blood energy from you and restore your white names.”

Li Zheng smoothed his resentful black hair behind him and said, "Release your bloodlust."

what?
The dozen or so people were stunned.

They called us over only because they have a way to take away the blood energy from our bodies?

From now on, we no longer need to hide and can go out and live on the streets.
Feng Shan said coldly, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and remove the things that suppress your blood energy? Do you all think Li Zheng has that much time to waste here with you?"

More than ten people seemed to wake up from a dream, and took off the different styles of blood energy suppression props on their bodies, with a faint pink blood energy emanating from them.

These people have few lives on their hands, their blood is thin as mist, and some are not even pure in color.

Li Zheng used his mental power to control the black hair of resentment to grow longer, circle around everyone, and absorb all their blood energy.

After the blood and qi were removed, the dozen or so people felt a sudden sense of relief, as if the gloom that had been weighing on their hearts had suddenly cleared away and become bright.

"No one is allowed to spread even a single word about what happened here today or what anyone said." Li Zheng withdrew his resentful black hair and said coldly, "If I find out that the future lives of these girls have been affected, you should understand whose credit it was for you to be able to enter the outer city while you were entangled in blood and qi."

"I can let the Bloodthirsty Ones into the outer city and expel the regular residents!"

"Don't worry, boss, we'll keep it a secret!" everyone said in unison.

Feng Shan frowned: "Guaranteeing is useless. I suggest using a memory releaser to extract and destroy all relevant memories."

More than ten people felt a pang in their hearts.

For such a trivial matter, you're actually planning to use the memory release device?

This……

Isn't that a bit too extravagant?

Compared to the crystals they spent on purchasing the memory release device, their past is practically worthless!
"good idea."

Surprisingly, Li Zheng agreed to Feng Shan's idea: "But you'll have to pay for it."

Fengshan was speechless for a moment: "Hehe." "No need."

A girl who had been assaulted looked at the other women around her who had suffered the same fate and said, "People always have to carry some burdens and secrets. We are all adults and should understand this principle, instead of being like naive children who crave a carefree tomorrow."

Several people nearby who were interested in using the memory release device heard her say this and began to reflect on it. They found that her words made a lot of sense and started to agree with her.

“Now that you’ve reached a consensus, go back and live your lives well.” Li Zheng waved his hand, and Mudala opened the door: “Don’t let the past define whether you can live a wonderful life in the future.”

“Thank you, boss!”

More than ten people left gratefully.

Li Zheng helped them remove the blood energy, thus eliminating a potential threat to them. After all, the residents of the outer city were enemies of the Bloodthirsty Ones, and they didn't want to one day die by suicide with more than twenty stab wounds in their backs.

After everyone left, Fengshan spoke up, "I didn't let them talk earlier because I didn't want you to feel guilty..."

Li Zheng indirectly caused these people to become bloodthirsty. Based on Feng Shan's understanding of him, if he knew about this, he might hold a grudge.

"Guilt?" Li Zheng said calmly, "Why should I feel guilty? They don't use their brains and think I'm a stupid idiot who can't distinguish right from wrong. Can you blame me for that?"

"Then you just..."

“I apologized only because I did not consider things carefully, which does not mean that it was wrong for me to warn others about becoming a red name.” Li Zheng glanced at Feng Shan: “Now it is only the sacrifice of a few people that has brought about overall peace and harmony. I may have made mistakes, but my crime does not warrant death.”

As he spoke, he took out the inscription card and sent a message to the terminal: You let some people with weak blood energy into the outer city on purpose?

Terminal reply: Yes, these people were all carefully selected by me. Are you satisfied?

satisfaction.

Li Zheng sent a message: You made me realize how foolish I was in the past.

As long as you're satisfied.

Terminal: Now it's your turn to make a choice. There are many people like them. Will you let them advance to the wilderness for the sake of your own reputation? Or will you break the rules and let all these people enter the outer city?

Li Zheng asked: Is this a test you've given me?

Terminal says: You should know that there are traitors among the clones, which means that even the clones I created myself have considerable hidden dangers. You can take this as a test of your humanity.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

Li Zheng continued to send messages: From the moment you decided to test my humanity, you were destined to receive an answer that would disappoint you.

So, what's your answer?

The terminal asked.

"My personal reputation is nothing compared to the interests of the group. If you think I would cherish my own reputation and make the choice to send those people into the wilderness, you are wrong!"

After careful consideration, Li Zheng replied: "Rules are made by people, and you, who set the rules, have already begun to break them. So it seems reasonable for me to continue doing things your way. Therefore, I choose to violate the rules and let them enter the outer city."
