Itto heard this and shouted, "What, Uncle Wang disfigured you?!"
Kuki Shinobu couldn't listen anymore and rubbed her forehead, saying, "Boss, haven't you understood yet? It was those villagers, or rather, a portion of them, who made this guy look like this."
"Of course, this is just his side of the story. Without concrete evidence, we can't easily believe it."
Everyone nodded, feeling that Kuki Shinobu's words made a lot of sense.
As the saying goes, 'what the mother says is reasonable, and what the father says is reasonable.'
Besides, none of them had interacted with the other villagers, so how could they know who was right and who was wrong?
Perhaps this guy in front of them was just an antisocial personality, and all of this was a lie he fabricated.
"I know you won't believe me. If you ask them, they'll surely distort the truth as well."
"As early as when I was 8 years old, I understood that right and wrong, good and evil, are all lies. Only the victor can write the answer!"
Yanfei, however, strongly disagreed with this view: "What you're saying is too exaggerated. Even if the law cannot shine on every place, what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong."
The disfigured mysterious man laughed, but his laughter was filled more with self-mockery.
"That's because you haven't lived in a place like this. You haven't seen what it's like to have demons in human skin."
"Twenty years ago, Zhuang Gui Village was still a poor village. Transportation was inconvenient, and even people from other villages rarely came here."
"Everything that happened here would not be known to outsiders. There is no such thing as your so-called right or wrong here, only profit and catharsis."
Cyno thoughtfully said, "So what you're trying to say is that you are a victim of the interests of the majority."
"It's not what I'm trying to say, but that's just how it is."
"When I was little, my parents worked away from home and sent money back every month."
"Gradually, our family became the wealthiest in the village."
"My grandmother and I depended on each other, but they set their sights on us two, grandmother and grandson."
"Ultimately, my grandmother died because of their rumors. But her death did not awaken their conscience; instead, it made them believe that the lies they fabricated were the truth."
At this point, the mysterious man tightly clenched his fists, and tears streamed down his disfigured face.
Everyone fell silent, because without such deep hatred as a driving force, he probably wouldn't have chosen such a method of revenge.
"Being young, I didn't understand what was happening. A family took me in and treated me well with good food and drink."
"I thought I was lucky, and that everyone was kind."
"But unexpectedly, not long after, I was driven out of the house, and my original home was taken over."
"After that, I could only sleep in straw, and when it rained, I could only hide under someone else's eaves."
"I was bullied by children from the same village, beaten and scolded by them, and this face was burned, and they even called me a bastard!"
Tears streamed down the man's face as he unveiled the deep scars in his heart.
"I thought my parents would return, but in the end, what awaited me was news of their death."
"As I grew older, I learned that they had forced my grandmother to her death, intercepted the money my parents sent back, and then occupied my family's house."
"Aside from a few individuals, all the villagers in this village are murderous devils!"
"Those few people either died or left, leaving only Uncle Wang."
Xavier, who had initially been angry, became very silent at this moment.
After a moment, he asked, "So after you escaped the village, you learned the art of Feng Shui, just for revenge."
"That's right!" the mysterious man said, clenching his fists. "I want them to pay for their actions."
"As long as I can get revenge, I can give up everything, even my own life. I diligently studied and practiced, planting the suppression objects, all to make this village the way it is now."
"And I believe that only I can help them solve this problem."
"By then, they will surely worship me as a god, and then, under my guidance, they will walk towards death."
"But your appearance interrupted my plan, and you even thought it was an act of justice."
The man's eyes were filled with resentment, as if he wished he could devour everyone present.
"So that's how it is. I wondered why that group of people was so strange..." The duo of swindlers also suddenly realized.
Xavier immediately pressed, "Why were they strange?"
The two didn't dare to hide anything and answered truthfully, "Alas, we have to act like we're legitimate when we scam people, so we asked if anything bad had happened."
"As a result, those villagers all stammered and only said that an old woman had hanged herself before, and they weren't willing to tell us anything else."
"We thought, 'we're just scammers, you don't need to dig into the details,' but we didn't realize that this was the real situation."
Xavier sneered. No wonder the villagers didn't report such a big matter but chose to secretly run away.
They even found the duo of swindlers to come over, which was clearly a desperate act.
It turned out they had a guilty conscience, and each of them was a murderer, which is why they didn't dare to publicize it.
The man in front of him probably also used this method of revenge because of the other party's psychology.
Xavier finally asked the soul-searching question: "What about Uncle Wang? And the children born later? Didn't you think about innocent people?"
He certainly believed that these villagers deserved to die, and that the crimes they committed could not be punished by law.
But he didn't think the man's method of revenge was correct.
At least, Wang Gouzi was innocent.
If even one person is innocent and is implicated to death, then this revenge is destined to be wrong.
"So what! Although he didn't help those beasts against me, who told him to be born in this village!"
"There is no right or wrong in this world, only self-interest and selfishness!"
The man's eyes were bloodshot, completely clouded by hatred.
He acted on this principle and survived to this day because of this idea.
"This is too scary, let's just run away..."
The duo of swindlers knew that this matter had far exceeded their expectations, so they planned to run away, but Xavier grabbed them back.
"It doesn't matter how you want to get revenge, but you must never harm a good person, especially someone who is good to you."
"We will pretend that today's events never happened. All the suppression objects have been removed by us."
"I hope you seek justice from the right source and not be blinded by hatred, otherwise, what's the difference between you and them?"
After hearing Xavier's words, the mysterious man froze in place. After a long period of contemplation, he finally made a move.
He knelt down towards Xavier and kowtowed several times, then said, "Little brother, thank you."
"From today on, I will not let go of any evil person, nor will I accidentally harm any innocent person."
With that, he disappeared into the mist.
