Joshua suddenly became irritated.

He pursed his lips and looked ahead. He didn't know where the resentment came from, nor who it was against, until Jiang Xiu said softly, "Don't you leave?"

Only then did Joshua realize that this resentment was directed at Jiang Xiu.

He didn't like Jiang Xiu who was obedient like this, but he couldn't tell why, so he had to start the car without saying a word.

Jiang Xiu quietly held the car in his arms, looked out the window without saying a word.

About half an hour later, the car stopped. This was a villa on the outskirts of the city. Joshua said, "It's here."

Jiang Xiu got out of the car. She looked up at the villa in front of her. It was ordinary and nothing special. After walking in, Jiang Xiu found that she planted a Schisandra chinensis tree in the garden of the villa. At this time, the trees were covered with red Schisandra chinensis, which looked like a bunch of small lanterns, which was particularly festive.

The woman in a long white dress raised her hand and took off a string. The red fruit made her fingers look more plain and slender, almost a little white. The woman turned around, and her eyes were like picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and her pear blossoms were dull.

It overlaps with Jiang Xiu's childhood memories.

When she was still very young, Lan Jinxi was like this. She seemed to have never changed for so many years. Time particularly favored her, as if her time had been frozen ten years ago.

Jiang Xiu stood there, a little dazed. Lan Jinxi said, "Jiang Jiang, are you unhappy when you see your mother?"

Jiang Xiu came back to her senses, she looked at Lan Jinxi and smiled coldly: "I am happy only if I can't see you."

Lan Jinxi sighed softly and said helplessly: "You just can't understand it yet."

She put the string of Schisandra in Joshua's hand and then said to Jiang Xiu, "Come with me."

Jiang Xiu went in with her box in her arms.

The decoration in the living room was simple but exquisite. Lan Jinxi asked her to sit down and then poured her a cup of tea. The cool breeze of the air conditioner blew away the heat outside. Lan Jinxi's voice was calm: "Jiang Jiang, we might as well talk openly. I can help you with what you want, but you also know what I want, right?"

Jiang Xiu lowered his eyelashes and said after a long time, "What do you want me to do?"

Lan Jinxi stood up, held the backrest of the sofa with her fingers, and said, "Demoneye is my lifelong effort. It is like my second child. Although many people still don't understand Demoneye, Jiang Jiang, you have to know that Demoneye has never brought about destruction, but rebirth."

She looked at the black box beside Jiang Xiu and said, "You agree with this, right?"

"What about those dead?"

Jiang Xiu asked softly.

Lan Jinxi chuckled: "Since ancient times, great things have been achieved, so how can one not die without bleeding?

This is the necessity of history, and I cannot avoid it."

Jiang Xiu bit her lower lip, and she didn't know whether she agreed or opposed it, she said, "I have always wanted to ask you a question."

Lan Jinxi said softly: "You said.

"Jiang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at her eyes, saying, "Are my mother in childhood real you, or is she real you now?"

Lan Jinxi's smile was calmed down and then she said, "That's all me."

Jiang Xiu smiled: "No, this is the real you now. The you I recognized in my childhood are just your disguise."

The mother and daughter looked at each other quietly. After a long time, Lan Jinxi said: "Jiang Jiang, I was born unknown. When I didn't know the meaning of life and death, I had already killed my mother's life. When I was young, my father took me around and frolicked around. I saw the ugliness of human nature. They were like poisons that penetrated the intestines, corroding everyone silently. My father said, "I want to learn to forgive them, they are stupid. They don't understand the righteousness. I have always thought so. Why should I argue with a group of idiots?"

Until——” She closed her eyes and said, “It was not until I won the medical ceremony and was incredible that I became a scapegoat. I realized that in the eyes of the people I loved deeply, I was just a chess piece and a tool. He could abandon me without hesitation and use me to build a bridge that could reach the sky, even if I stepped on my corpse, I would not feel any guilt.”

"In that short time, I witnessed the ugliest human nature, and you can't imagine how I survived it."

Jiang Xiu wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. Lan Jinxi's turning point in her life was when she was twenty years old. Whether she went from being a talented person to a political prisoner, being betrayed by her lover, or there were many entanglements that outsiders didn't know about, it was enough to make anyone crazy.

Lan Jinxi suddenly chuckled lightly and said, "But it is also beneficial. At that time, I finally understood what I have always hated, that is human nature. I have been thinking that if this thing is erased, will this world be as clean as a piece of white paper?"

Jiang Xiu said: "At that time, the world was just a thread-lifting puppet in your hands. What's the point of living?"

Lan Jinxi shook her head, instead of continuing to explain, but said, "You will understand."

She looked at Jiang Xiu condescendingly and said, "Jiang Jiang, I have been waiting for you for so many years. My position will eventually belong to you, and only to you."

She was like a snake that bewitched Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom, and her voice was soft: "You and I are the same people. As long as you promise me, you are the heir of Demoneye. You can see your dead lover, stay with him forever, and grow old with him. Isn't this what you want?"

"..." Jiang Xiu's eyelashes trembled.

Lan Jinxi sat down beside her, held her hand, and said, "Jiang Jiang, when you were still in my stomach, I thought about what kind of child you would be, whether you would be like me or Jiang Zhi, you will live up to my expectations, you will be smarter, you will be more talented than me, I believe you will take Demoneye to a higher and farther place."

"Demoneye is a redemption for mankind, not a killing. People in the world are short-sighted and can only see sacrifices, but ignore the discovery that can shock the world later. You are my child, my bones and blood, can you see it, right?"

Her voice softened: "You must see the new life behind blood and death, Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Xiu's fingers trembled: "Mom...I..." Lan Jinxi hugged her into her arms and said softly: "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm by your side, you don't need to be afraid of anything."
