At this time, Yu Xiude, who was walking in front, slightly lowered his presence to prevent the objects in the dream scene from disturbing them. He spoke calmly, as if they were just taking a stroll and chatting:

"Although it's just a chat, it's actually to give you some more social common sense about the people who have destiny."

Coming from the office area was the depressing sound of keyboards beating on one's heart. Yu Xiu De glanced at the staff there.

It was much more depressing than in the newspaper office. There wasn't even a hint of impatience or boredom on his face, only mechanical numbness.

"Generally speaking, the family of the owner of the fate grid doesn't need to participate in similar work. Their most common job is to act as the owner's agent, responsible for managing the owner's property and negotiating matters related to the owner of the fate grid...

"You can understand it as they won't become employees of these companies or enterprises, they will often only be employees of the relatives of the owners of their fate."

Speaking of this, Yu Xiu De couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although he was not a registered owner of the destiny in the federal registration and lacked some common sense knowledge of destiny owners, Yu Xiu De was not completely ignorant. He had learned some common sense with the help of the "Two-Faced Man" registered in his early years, and received information relayed by Guan Wei Zhong, the nominal guardian of the "Two-Faced Man".

After becoming a news editor, he also had a lot of gossip circulating in his hands. Even if it was very shallow compared to the real intelligence departments, in fact, the activities of the fate owners in the Federation were not very secretive at all.

The owners of this world's destiny are truly a very special kind of existence.

They are not extraordinary individuals who are brave and aggressive, nor are they immortals who are isolated from the mortal world. They are high above but also interfere in the mundane world. While pursuing their own sublimation, they also have their own personal joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. They will affect ordinary people and will also be affected by ordinary people.

Civilization, which has been accompanied by destiny since its birth, also has a self-contained system of operation that conforms to history. The two groups of people who own destiny and those who do not have destiny have long been accustomed to each other's existence, and this is reflected in various aspects such as systems, laws, and social common sense.

"Once you become a destiny holder, not only will the Federation provide you with a monthly allowance sufficient to support a family of three in a relatively affluent life, but it will also guide you to participate in social production."

"Some individuals possessing this fate can, with a little effort, single-handedly achieve production goals in the same timeframe that would require hundreds of ordinary people working together at their full capacity. However, some individuals possessing this fate are capable of tasks that ordinary people, no matter how advanced science is, cannot accomplish. These include increasing lifespans, altering memories in seconds, and even creating life out of nothing..."

"If abilities are scarce, then it's possible that a person with this fate represents an entire industry, and that they themselves are the sole producer who cannot be replaced."

"But except for a very small number of people with special fates, most people still need ordinary people to help them with trivial matters. And when it comes to strangers who know nothing about them, or special personnel sent by the Federation, familiar people are definitely more trustworthy."

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

After hearing Yu Xiu De's story, Zhu Ya Jing couldn't help but think of this impolite proverb.

Then she shook her head quickly.

How can you compare your sister and mother to a chicken and a dog!

At this moment, Yu Xiu De stopped at the end of the corridor and came to a piece of translucent glass.

This is a classic layout for many business offices. For managers, glass walls make it easy to monitor employees' work. The same is true for managers' managers. It can also avoid some bad office scandals.

Of course, this also needs to be done in moderation to avoid making employees feel uncomfortable about being overly monitored, so the glass is not completely transparent, but translucent.

"Look at what you've made! This project is so important, and this is how you treat it?"

A very harsh scolding sound came from the office.

Through the glass, Zhu Yajing could see two blurry figures, one sitting and the other standing, with their heads lowered, but neither of them could see their specific faces clearly.

Yu Xiu De placed his hand in front of the translucent glass. In an instant, the glass that was originally covered with a layer of fog became very transparent, and Zhu Ya Jing could clearly see everything inside.

The person being scolded was Zhuqin, who looked younger than in real life. Sitting on the office chair was a middle-aged woman who looked wealthy and had a harsh face. She seemed to be Zhuqin's boss.

Scolded by her boss, the young Zhuqin in the dream bit her lip, didn't refute, and nodded reluctantly, saying, "Yes, yes, the manager is right..."

After her boss finished his rage, she tried to defend herself:

"But the workload this time is truly enormous. According to the company's previous standards, we usually form a team of four or five people to complete it..."

"Big? You say the workload is big when the work can't be completed?!"

The woman sitting behind the desk suddenly stood up and pointed her thick finger at Zhuqin, cursing:

"I think you're not trying your best! You're not putting your heart into it! What's wrong with offering you 1.2 times the salary and asking you to do more? Can't you just stay up late and work overtime to complete this work?"

The woman's words were unreasonable but aggressive.

Zhu Yajing, who was outside the glass wall, had already clenched her fists.

Zhuqin, whose eyes were already red, said in a trembling voice:

"That day is my daughter's parent-teacher conference... I have to..."

"must?!"

The fat woman's voice rose another octave.

Then, as if she remembered something, she came out from behind her desk, walked around the bamboo zither, looked it up and down, and sneered as if she knew the answer:

"What about your daughter's father?"

Zhuqin's face turned red and white.

The boss who touched Zhuqin's sore spot arrogantly scolded:

"Since your daughter doesn't have a father to raise her, why don't you work harder? Why attend these formal parent-teacher conferences?"

"If you like it, do it. If you don't like it, get out!"

Zhu Yajing outside the glass window had a cold expression on her face, her red lips slightly parted, and she only uttered one word softly.

In an instant, the fat woman suddenly covered her chest and fell to the ground, while Zhuqin in the dream stood there in panic, seemingly frightened.

Nightmare dreams are always vivid and easily affect other people's emotions.

But after venting his anger, the novice curse master obviously realized how rude his momentary impulse was in his neighbor's dream, so he quickly apologized to Yu Xiu De.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Yajing received a reply that made her unsure whether to feel at ease or uneasy.

Yu Xiude shook his head and said calmly:

"That's fine. This is exactly the atmosphere I wanted to create for the conversation."

Zhu Yajing's gaze returned to the glass.

Looking through the glass window at the gradually cooling corpse, Zhu Yajing suddenly felt something was unreal.

It wasn't because the scene before him was unreal. Whether it was the fat woman clutching her chest, bewildered as she faced death, or the young mother in the dream panicking, pacing back and forth, sniffing her breath, every detail seemed authentic and believable.

But using his ability to kill this woman was too easy, as easy as stamping your feet out of anger, and...

I just now did not have the thought of killing others because I or my family were in danger.

I took someone's life simply because he insulted me.

This made Zhu Yajing feel a little dazed and even a little scared for a moment.

She didn't know whether it was because she had experienced too much in reality and in nightmares these days, which made her bad temper, or whether it was the "nature" of being a person with a natural character.

Zhu Yajing only knew that she did not want to be a curser who spoke foul words, and did not want to be someone like Liu Liangrui.

……

"Don't dwell on this, Miss Zhu Yajing, and don't close your eyes again because you're afraid of the overly hot light. This is just a dream. In reality, who knows how many ordinary people want to become the owner of a destiny, even if it's acquired later."

Yu Xiu De seemed to know Zhu Ya Jing's deepest worries.

He wiped the glass in front of him again, and the next moment, the scene inside changed. It became the scene of two little girls being bullied that Yu Xiu De saw when he sneaked into Zhu Yueyu's dream.

This time Zhu Yajing held back, but her fists still clenched involuntarily.

Yu Xiu De, who was standing next to her and was an illegal fate holder, continued to explain to her in a steady voice the benefits of becoming a federally registered fate holder.

"Economics, social status, power, and destiny are basically all available to those who possess them. Your family can escape their previous predicament, and even..."

Yu Xiude said in a heavier voice:

"You have the power to settle the past, especially you."

"Although everything you saw was only part of a dream, it was all based on the memories of your mother and sister. Such things must have happened in reality, and they may even exist not only in the past but also in the present."

"Since you've already met your father, you should understand more or less how the Federation tolerates those with destiny. So, what will you do then?"

A strange light flashed in Yu Xiude's eyes. He spoke in a gentle tone, as if treating a nightmare, and patiently and coaxed him:

"It's okay to kill him."

"Even the law will help you."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 171 Good night and sweet dreams.

What would it do?

When you only need to move your mouth, you can easily take the lives of those who once laughed at you, bullied your sister, and insulted your mother.

When you become the owner of the fate, you only need to inform the relevant federal departments, and even the law will be on your side. You can make things as difficult as possible for those who have made things difficult for your family in the past and present, and help you vent your anger.

In the past, the family had no money, power or influence, and was exploited by powerful superiors and bullied by classmates from normal families.

Then immediately, my family will become rich, powerful and influential, so can I take revenge on them?

It doesn't even take much trouble, just open your mouth... and you can kill them...

In the past, anyone who bullied my family would die...

Zhu Yajing's thoughts were a little confused.

Facing Liu Liangrui, and Liu Liangrui who appeared in Yu Xiude's dream, she could kill him without hesitation, because Liu Liangrui's behavior was so beastly that even the kindest saint in the world would turn a blind eye.

But...what about the other bad guys whose crimes do not deserve the death penalty?

He must die because he bullied his family.

He must die because he insulted his family.

He must die because he has caused trouble to his family.

So what does bullying really mean? Can a childhood shove turn into a deadly boomerang years later?

What kind of insults should be used? Can habitual curses turn into soul-haunting curses years later?

How should we define difficulties? Not just those at work, but also those unscrupulous vendors in life, those neighbors who gossip behind our backs... Can they escape them? Should they escape them?

……

……

Zhu Yajing thought for a long time, and finally gave her own answer:

"I will curse them."

She took a deep breath and didn't dare to look at Yu Xiu De's facial expression at this moment, as if she was afraid that her previous kind image in the eyes of her neighbors would be shattered, but she was even more unwilling to lie to her neighbors.

"But perhaps I don't need to be so drastic. I just need to give an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Just like the law stipulates a proportional relationship between crime and punishment, not all curses are life-threatening."

With her head lowered, she did not notice the slightly raised corners of Yu Xiu De's mouth, whose expression remained largely unchanged.

Yu Xiu De was very satisfied with Zhu Ya Jing's answer, and was also very satisfied with Zhu Ya Jing's hesitation, which was exactly what he wanted most.

It's not about unlimited forgiveness without any improvement, but it's also not about a drastic change of temperament that would be influenced by fate and lead to endless resentment.

A hopeless person is disappointing... but a madman with a gleam in his eyes will also make people keep their distance...

Overall, Zhu Yajing's personality change now makes her more like the rumored owner of an acquired destiny.

This is very good. After all, according to Yu Xiu De's past experience, people with innate fate are basically born mentally ill, unable to be judged by common sense and difficult to get along with.

Of course, except for myself...right?

After being expelled from the human race by the inhuman nightmare in his dream, Yu Xiude, who was confident that he had only been slightly hurt, muttered to himself. He reached out and politely patted Zhu Yajing's shoulder, motioning her to look up and look at him, and said calmly:

"No, it has nothing to do with the law, because in a situation like yours, the federal law will support you."

"You don't want to kill them because you have morals that those who like to bully the weak don't have."

The voice sounded only slightly gentle, but it made Zhu Yajing feel relieved. At the same time, she felt an extremely warm current flowing into her heart.

She was originally worried that her honest but unforgiving answer would disgust her neighbors...

After all, in Zhu Yajing's perspective, her neighbor was kind, gentle, and tolerant. He had been offended by her mother, but he helped her mother before she apologized... This is what Zhu Yajing later learned from Zhu Qin. In the incident in the "real dreamland", Yu Xiu De appeared in her dream and woke her up so that she didn't have to get lost in the dream. However, Zhu Qin concealed how he was "woken up" in the middle.

After receiving Yu Xiu De's recognition and support, Zhu Ya Jing became more relaxed as the conversation deepened.

Concerns about the future after becoming a [Curse Master], fears about whether Liu Liangrui's death would bring trouble to Yu Xiude, and troubles about the rumors left by Liu Liangrui, whether true or false...

She told Yu Xiu De everything she could, but this time she used her voice instead of gestures.

This feeling was quite strange and unfamiliar to Zhu Yajing at first. She couldn't help but use sign language several times, but was interrupted by Yu Xiude every time.

"You could speak a little louder and more confidently. You have a nice voice."

Yu Xiu De's plain and objective praise made Zhu Yajing feel a little ashamed, but it also made a subtle sense of self-confidence sprout in her heart.
