From the end of the world

Chapter 443 Little Devil Zhu Shi

Asking the Preacher's head, of course, does not mean exploring his subjective memory, which we have already explored through question-and-answer methods. I mean that we will use Ma Zao's historical retracing skills to investigate the objective trajectory of his activities during his lifetime.

"How did you suddenly take this guy's head out of your own flames... I remembered that you couldn't directly transform others into flames?" Zhu Shi said.

"To be precise, what cannot be transformed into flames are living people, while this head is a dead object. In my consciousness, it is my trophy, so it can also be put into the flames." I said.

"You cut off someone's head and regard it as your own. I feel that your mind is terrible in a certain sense." Zhu Shi said, "According to your mechanism of free conviction, doesn't it mean that as long as you can objectify all human beings in your mind, you can transform anyone you come into contact with into your own flame?"

"That's right," I said, "Based on my previous experiments with my abilities, I can materialize insects and small animals, as well as almost all plants, in my mind, and then transform them into the form of flames.

"In the past, there was a size limit for these targets, because one of the requirements for me to transform them into flames was that the targets had to be my personal belongings. Since they were personal belongings, they couldn't be too big. But recently I found that I could actually change the shape and size, and use flames to reconstruct a large enough body. In this way, objects such as cars and buildings can also be regarded as targets of the size of personal belongings.

"Of course, there is a big premise for all of the above practices, which is that I must be able to regard it as my own property. And with my current life where I am treated as a god wherever I go, it is not impossible for me to transform into a person who regards any object... or even any person as my own in the future..."

Zhu Shi quickly said, "I think it's best for you to be the way you are now, Senior Brother Zhuang! If you really become someone who objectifies everyone and regards them all as your own personal property, that would be really terrible."

“That’s what I thought,” I said.

That kind of personality is not so rare in Luoshan. What extreme transcendentalists pursue is a world where ordinary people are treated as consumable flesh and blood resources. If such a person had my superpowers, he might be able to do what I described easily. Maybe Mingzhu is also that kind of personality.

The more unrestrained the mind is, the more it can fully exert the power of transcendence. I feel more and more that the hegemony camp that imposes countless rules and regulations on itself is probably not the opponent of the transcendental camp. Gua Tianshi seems to believe that the world where transcendence is above everything will eventually be defeated by the creativity of countless mortals, and civilization will eventually return to the hegemony order where demon hunters and ordinary people go hand in hand, but will things really turn out as he said?
Or is it, as Taoyuan Village Master said, the current conflict in Luoshan over "which is more correct between transcendentalism and politicalism" is just a superficial and low-level discussion?

By the way, how come these Great Impermanences all care so much about the world... I couldn't help but have such thoughts. But maybe it's normal. For the Great Impermanences who can influence the order of the world with just a wave of their hands and feet, it's more difficult not to think about things in terms of the world. It's probably rare for Great Impermanences like me and Mingzhuo to think about themselves.

Now I may just not be able to adapt, but in the near future, I may also unconsciously "have the world in mind". This is not a matter of capacity or pattern, but simply because I have come to this position.

"You'd better put away the head of the 'Preacher' quickly. It's still dripping with blood!" Zhu Shi's words brought me back to reality.

I apologized, then collected the head, and used the flame to cleanse and burn the blood on the ground. The flame with the identification killing effect is also excellent in cleaning, and the ashes can be collected into the flame.

I didn't think about it just now. Not only Zhu Shi and the unconscious Zhu Jiu were in this villa, but also Zhu Shi's grandmother. Unlike Zhu Shi and Mr. Zhu, who had experienced many battles, Zhu Shi's grandmother was not a demon hunter, so it was not good to let her see such a bloody thing.

Speak of the devil, and here comes Zhu Shi's grandmother. She walked into the living room and brought a fruit platter to me as if she were a child visiting her home.

I had met him once before when I sent Chang'an, who was kidnapped by the weird shadow clone, back to the Zhu family residence. He still looked kind and his tone was as gentle as spring breeze. He asked me about my well-being and whether I had any plans to stay overnight.

Zhu Shi asked doubtfully: "Hmm? Zhuang Cheng can go home and sleep at any time, so there is no need for him to stay at our house, right? Although I have no objection..."

"Don't say that, Xiao Shi. You are an engaged couple, so it would be reasonable for you to start by sleeping together to get used to it, right?"

Grandmother Zhu Shi seemed to have heard a lot of things from Mr. Zhu, including the engagement between Zhu Shi and me.

I felt like Zhu Shi’s grandmother wanted to create a pink atmosphere between Zhu Shi and me, but Zhu Shi himself didn’t seem to realize anything, nor did he understand that “sleeping together” meant more than just sleeping under the same roof. He just nodded and said, “That seems to be the case…”

Seeing her granddaughter's clueless look, Grandma Zhu Shi sighed deeply and said, "Xiao Shi, I have heard from your grandfather that you and Xiao Cheng are planning to have a pure relationship involving only physical contact. Is that right?"

"Well, although this is true, is there something wrong with this statement?" Zhu Shi said.

Grandmother Zhu said earnestly: "You can't just be satisfied with this relationship, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

"What do you mean by 'only satisfied with this level of relationship'? You sound like I'm a nymphomaniac who's attracted to Brother Zhuang's body!" Zhu Shi said loudly.

"Then I won't disturb you two from being together. I'm old, and I don't have the energy to keep up. It's almost time for me to go to bed." Grandma Zhu Shi ignored her and took two steps back before adding, "Also, I usually sleep very deeply. The soundproofing of this house is also very good. No matter what noises are made in the house, I won't hear them. You can do whatever you want tonight..."

Zhu Shi seemed to have finally heard the hidden meaning and shouted anxiously: "Grandma——!"

Grandma Zhu Shi smiled and left the living room, leaving only Zhu Shi and I sitting on the sofa.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhuang, my grandma is actually more serious usually..." Zhu Shi said tiredly.

I always feel that she has said this to Mr. Zhu before.

However, what Grandmother Zhu Shi said just now also made me involuntarily think about that. Mr. Zhu supported me and Zhu Shi to be together, and Grandmother Zhu Shi seemed to be hinting and encouraging me to have a relationship with Zhu Shi, and now it was the scene of the two of us being alone late at night. After all, I am a healthy man in both body and mind, and it is difficult to keep a calm mind in front of the beautiful and graceful Junior Sister Zhu.

Zhu Shi seemed to have sensed something from my gaze, and his sitting posture suddenly became awkward. He asked cautiously, "Um, Senior Brother Zhuang... do you want to do that kind of thing with me?"

She swallowed and said nervously, "...do it tonight?"

Since we have agreed to have a baby with Zhu Shi, we have to do that sooner or later. As for whether we have to do it tonight, that is another matter. It might be too hasty to do it tonight. I am not really that horny. And it is not good to do it early without Ma's knowledge. Maybe I need to at least report it...

Many thoughts were intertwined in my mind. Suddenly, I felt that this kind of thinking was too slow and I was unhappy with myself. So I cut the Gordian knot and said only one word: "Think."

Hearing this, Zhu Shi became even more restless, and a shy pink color appeared on her face. From this point of view, she looked like a healthy girl, and it was hard to imagine that she didn't actually have any romantic feelings. However, shame and romantic feelings are not strongly bound together, and she was probably just shy out of social ethics. Now she was probably thinking about what words to use to reject me.

Unexpectedly, after a moment, she gave this answer: "Well...okay."

"Okay?" I was surprised.

"Well, I can. But I'm still a little scared," she said. "I've never thought that I would really do that so soon... Can you give me some time to prepare myself mentally? I'm not ready physically yet... So I can't do it tonight. Give me some time."

I can understand the psychological tidying up, but what about the physical tidying up? Did she mean that she didn't take a shower? If she took a shower, she would be done very quickly... Although I didn't quite understand, I still nodded and asked, "Is it really okay? If you are forcing yourself, then I won't force you."

"I'm not forcing myself. After I decided to have a baby with you, I've rehearsed this kind of thing in my mind many times. Finding a time to really practice it can also be regarded as a stone in my heart falling down." Zhu Shi said: "More importantly, I have thought about it again and again later. Brother Zhuang is a boy after all. He must have a lot of things accumulated. He is usually with such a lovely girl like Ma Zao. Maybe he will accidentally go off with it. But Ma Zao is still young after all. It would be inappropriate to really go off with it."

I admitted: "It is true that there is such a possibility."

"You should deny it a little bit!"

Zhu Shi complained first, then said: "But you guys should feel more relaxed after doing it. So I thought that as long as Senior Brother Zhuang does it with me more often and finds an outlet, it will be less likely for him and Ma Zao to have something unsightly.

"Even if Senior Brother Zhuang becomes addicted to it, he can still get satisfaction from me as long as I am here."

I didn't expect Zhu Shi to say such a bold thing! She must have mustered up a lot of courage to say it. I thought about it and nodded seriously: "It's not completely unreasonable."

"Is that so? Although I know that for a girl, I may seem shameless when I say this, but Brother Zhuang, whenever you feel like it, you can ask me to do it." Zhu Shi said seriously, "But there is a prerequisite, Brother Zhuang, you must promise me. If you don't promise me, I won't do it with you."

"What's the requirement? I'll do my best." I was curious.

She smiled and said, "It's a very simple thing. You can always do it with me, but you must not fall in love with me, okay?"
