After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Take Action, Avenge Those Children Who Died Tragically

You Yi didn’t know why he was entertaining thoughts that went against his principles.

Yet now, if he had to destroy the soul within the girl in front of him without hesitation, he couldn’t do it.

"Moreover," Lu Sheng finished speaking, then lifted his eyes calmly, "You Yi, I’ve been entangled with you for an entire lifetime. I don’t want this life to be endlessly tangled with you as well."

"There are some things I’ve wanted to make clear to you for a long time, but never had the chance, because before, whenever you saw me, you just wanted to kill me. But now, I can at least finish what I have to say to you."

"I know you were taught by your family from a young age. They told you there are no good demons in this world, and that the nature of demons is to harm people, so they must be eradicated completely. But in this world, humans have good and evil, naturally, demons also have good and bad."

"I am indeed a demon, but I have never actively harmed anyone. Even though Lu Qianrou has tried to kill me several times before, I didn’t use demonic power to kill her; I just sent her to jail so she could suffer the consequences of her evil deeds."

"The first time you met me was six years ago, in that UK shopping mall fire. Hundreds of people were almost trapped inside, burnt alive and suffocated; you sensed a demon using high-intensity Soul Power, so you arrived."

"When you came, you saw me resting against the wall using too much Soul Power. So you directly concluded, based on your experience, that I caused the fire using Soul Power, trying to kill everyone in the mall to strengthen my power."

"But that was really just an accident."

"When the fire broke out, I happened to be reading in a café on the first floor of that mall. The reason I used such high-intensity Soul Power was to help those who were almost suffocating by shielding them from the smoke, helping the firefighters control the spread of the fire and extinguish it, and cooling down those who were already burned and unconscious to maintain their heart rate."

"It was because of this first encounter that you relentlessly pursued me for years afterward, with the sole intent of killing me. But You Yi, have you ever thought about this - does what you see necessarily constitute the truth? Is what you believe definitely correct?"

Lu Sheng’s tone was calm.

But these few questions, like knives, stabbed into You Yi’s heart, one after another.

You Yi was immensely shocked.

Or rather, the facts he believed in before all collapsed in front of him.

He thought his momentary softness towards Lu Sheng, deep down, was already the greatest impermissible mercy.

But now...

He realized, the truly cruel, vicious, and arrogant person who only saw a part of the whole was himself.

You Yi’s refined brows and eyes filled with a look of pain, his voice trembling: "Are you saying... that day you weren’t there to kill, you were there to save people? And it was because you saved people that I pursued you for so many years?"

"Yes, I did not harm anyone at that time, and did not afterward," Lu Sheng looked directly at You Yi, his words striking You Yi’s heart, "But I don’t blame you. You have your position, your responsibility."

"You were born into a Demon Hunter family, hunting and killing demons is your duty. No one taught you that there are good demons in this world, and no one taught you how to distinguish between good and bad demons, so I don’t hate you, nor do I blame you."

"I just hope that after I’ve said all this, you won’t see me and just want to kill me as you did before. Even if you use some magic artifact on me, as long as there’s any intent to harm, I’ll be willing to let my soul scatter. I beg you, let me go."

Where could there be such a magic artifact?

You Yi gave a bitter smile in his heart.

Moreover, even if the girl hadn’t said anything to him, he was no longer just seeing her and wanting to kill her.

"There’s one more thing I need to tell you," Lu Sheng raised his eyes and said, "The note that led you here was written by me."

--- The note?
