While Zhongshu was thinking, Jiang Chaosheng made some movements.
He fiddled with the teacup and said:
"I am a very serious person when it comes to my work."
So I woke up the old dragon king in the early morning, and it rained. Then we set off for the abandoned Dongpu train station.
On the way, I saw an old woman scavenging for scraps.
The old woman carried a heavy snakeskin bag on her back, which bent her back.
Zhongshu blinked.
Is he telling a story?
Zhongshu listened very attentively, just like when he listened to a lecture by a famous person in college.
Xie Ya poured a cup of tea into Jiang Chaosheng's teacup.
Jiang Chaosheng continued:
"This old woman is not the only one who gets up early as diligently as I do."
I saw a Mercedes-Benz driving down the street; it must be a new model, very beautiful.
The old woman didn't even glance at the car.
Perhaps it's because wealthy people are all hardworking, because a Panamera soon drove up from the end of the street.
The old woman didn't pay attention to the car either.
That Panamera was really beautiful; I even stopped to admire it for a while.
Later, another scavenger, pushing a tricycle, passed by me.
I clearly heard the old woman say something.
Zhongshu asked:
"What?"
Jiang Chaosheng smiled:
The old woman said enviously, "I wish I had a tricycle too."
Zhongshu was stunned.
The story wasn't particularly dramatic, but it captivated him at the moment.
There seems to be some philosophy here.
Why did the old woman not yearn for a Mercedes or a Panamera, but instead long for another scavenger's tricycle?
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"That is unity."
The old woman had already decided that she and the owner of the luxury car were not of the same ilk and did not belong to the same world.
The old man pushing the tricycle was also a scavenger; they shared a common trait.
Zhongshu understood.
The reason I hate male actors and masked men with guns is because they share a commonality.
Because they are all human beings, and not invincible.
Jiang Chaosheng began to speak:
"The Sea-Riding Horse is too powerful, so powerful that you treat it as an irreversible natural disaster."
You and he are not of the same ilk; you naturally place him on a higher level.
No one really hates hurricanes or volcanic eruptions.
People just pray that these disasters won't befall them.
Zhongshu lowered his head in shame.
Because the Sea Coachman was too powerful, as powerful as a demon god, and just one roar was enough to make him tremble.
I always despise those who are cowardly in public but fiercely ruthless at home.
The reason is not as simple as servility.
The bigger reason is that, deep down, they believe it is simply impossible to defeat.
Zhongshu murmured:
"I... I don't want this to happen again."
But I... I'm too weak..."
Jiang Chaosheng said slowly:
"The taboo will not bring you glory or fame; it may even force you to go to another world and live in darkness for the rest of your life."
However, the Forbidden Order can give you a sense of unity with those terrifying beings, and you will grow stronger and stronger.
Jiang Chaosheng looked out into the darkness and said softly:
"What brings real disaster to ordinary people is not evil people, but those truly terrifying things."
Those wicked people who cheat and take shortcuts are really insignificant.
This world has ambitious people who use forbidden things to commit great evils, and perhaps there are also so-called gods and demons who live on in this world.
Since you have this desire to prevent good people from being oppressed, you should use your energy in the right place.
Zhongshu's breathing became rapid.
He felt that his life had a completely new purpose.
A goal that I'm willing to give everything to achieve, a goal that I'm willing to burn myself to pieces!
For more than 20 years, many people have called him a saint.
These days, calling someone the Virgin Mary isn't a compliment.
Chung-shu believes that he is not the kind of saint with negative connotations.
The so-called "saintly bitch" is someone who sacrifices others for the sake of the collective.
But what about yourself?
I am willing to use these 100-plus pounds of my own flesh to uphold a great and radiant heart!
It's a bit silly, but I'm happy to do it.
Zhongshu became serious and said sincerely:
"Sir, I'm willing to join the Taboo Society!"
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Yang Xiao, who was sitting by the door watching the moon:
"Take him to Black Rose Manor."
Black Rose Manor was a stronghold that Shirley gave to the Forbidden Society.
Zhongshu has joined the Forbidden Society, so Xia Li needs to be introduced to him.
Shirley is the head steward of the Forbidden Society in the secular world.
Yang Xiao jumped up from the threshold:
"Alright, let's go, buddy."
Jiang Chaosheng watched Zhongshu leave the Zero Antique Shop and then drank the cup of tea on the table.
A crow stood on the table:
"You're brainwashing him."
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"I'm giving him a goal to strive for."
The evil crow remained silent for a moment:
"You don't really believe in his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of the people."
Jiang Chaosheng nodded:
"Hmm, I don't believe it. I've never met such a kind person."
Evil Raven glanced at Zero Antique Shop.
Who are these people?
Fox spirits, succubi, and crows from Luoyang Slope—all are vicious creatures.
As for Yang Xiao, needless to say, he's more devilish than a devil!
Who are these people?

Looking around, there wasn't a single decent item in this room!
Jiang Chaosheng continued:
"However, his feelings for Baitasha were genuine."
"With Baitasha in my hands, he has no choice but to be loyal."
The crow paused, stunned:
"Feelings? You actually have the nerve to say you can see other people's feelings?"
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Xie Ya, his eyes somewhat cold.
The evil crow shrank its neck and chuckled sheepishly:
"I... I was just kidding."
After saying that, it flew towards the back hall.
Jiang Chaosheng looked at the counter.
Su Daji sat there, her eyebrows and eyes languid, a gentle smile playing on her lips, lost in thought.
Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a moment:
"You can sleep upstairs tonight."
Su Daji paused for a moment, her bright red lips slightly parted, and she looked visibly stunned.
Jiang Chaosheng added:
"There are guest rooms upstairs."
In his mind, Daji was no longer a taboo.
Since it's not a forbidden item, it shouldn't be slept in the back room.
Su Daji suddenly laughed.
That smile was more dazzling than fireworks.
.....
Antique Shop Zero, Study.
Jiang Chaosheng is writing in his diary:
"I've broken the curse, and I want to go out for a walk tomorrow."
It is very short.
He felt that this was how diaries should be.
Just write down the most important things for today.
Jiang Chaosheng put down his diary and looked at the moon outside the window.
It was round and bright, just like the night my mother left me.
Jiang Chaosheng murmured:
"I think I have a friend now."
After his mother left, Jiang Chaosheng lost a part of his memory.
When she regained her memories, she found herself in an orphanage.
Those were tough times; loneliness is a common experience for everyone.
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head:
"I was too sentimental and almost forgot I had things to do."
Jiang Chaosheng put down his diary and took out his notebook.
The notebook contained ideas about the Taboo Society, as well as records of its future development.
Jiang Chaosheng muttered to himself:
"It seems the investigation team has arrived. Let's give them a gift first."
Jiang Chaosheng tapped his fingers on the table.
The little black figure on his wrist fell off and bowed repeatedly to Jiang Chaosheng.
Jiang Chaosheng said:
"Does the police department have any dealings with you?"
