Chapter 162 Sudden Unrest and Anxiety
Chapter 162 Sudden Unrest and Anxiety
After making his decision, Luo Ang found a large tree, used his slashing technique to cut it down, and began making a coffin.
When they finished making the coffin, placed the unconscious Anserlo inside, and were looking for a suitable burial site, Loen suddenly froze.
A feeling that something was wrong surfaced in his mind, making him suddenly feel very uncomfortable—this discomfort was like when he was in his past life, organizing his homework the day before class, but not realizing that he had forgotten a subject.
"Strange, what exactly is wrong?"
"What did I overlook?"
"Or perhaps my considerations weren't thorough enough? Besides the Mark of Vengeance, do the Silver-Gray School have any other ways to find me?"
Luo Ang frowned and looked around.
The forest remained quiet; the place he had chosen was a very safe and well-preserved spot—there were neither birds nor wild beasts.
There was hardly any sign of human presence.
There was nothing around to spy on them.
There are no hidden dangers whatsoever.
"But why am I so agitated and uneasy?"
Luo Ang circled around for a long time, even going so far as to walk around the area, but the restlessness did not subside in the slightest.
It wasn't until he started taking stock of everything he had, then took out his spatial bag and his diary from it that his agitation lessened considerably.
"A diary." Luo Ang frowned, found a tree to sit on, and began to flip through his previous diaries, comparing the contents with his memories.
After finishing reading through his diary, Luo Ang was suddenly startled.
"Buried alive... When did I become so cruel?"
When did he become so cruel?
The education he received in his previous life was not about 'forgiveness'; he also emphasized revenge and punishing evil to promote good—he did not shy away from killing.
However, the worldview taught in my previous life was that even in killing, one should adhere to the principle of "killing without torturing."
Killing and torture are two completely different concepts!
Killing might be based on some kind of "good" reason, but "torture" is simply indulging one's own "evil"!
Since arriving in this wizarding world, although Loen wouldn't dare say he's a good person, he can certainly say he's definitely not a 'bad person'.
The sense of right and wrong, good and evil, cultivated by his education in his previous life still influences Luo Ang in the present.
But now... Luo Ang suddenly realized that he was about to become a sadistic 'bad person'.
First they broke his limbs, crushed his teeth, pulled out his tongue, and gouged out his eyes.
What a terrible idea!
However, Loen himself naturally came up with this idea and made this decision.
The reason for making this terrible decision was not because Ancel was so cruel or vicious that he had to punish him in such a horrific way.
This was to avoid being tracked by the vengeful mark on the sorcerer Anselor.
It's to make myself feel "safer".
After much deliberation, he made the horrific decision to cut off his limbs, gouge out his eyes, and finally bury him alive.
Is that correct?
That's not right!
That's completely wrong!
"That was close!" Luo Ang closed his diary, put everything back into his spatial bag, and then rubbed his face vigorously.
In that instant, his face was filled with lingering fear.
"Is this the influence of wizards?"
When he was writing in his diary, Luo Ang didn't really notice anything—but now, after going through his diary from beginning to end again, Luo Ang accurately grasped the changes in the diary and the process of his own changing mindset.
After killing several nobles around Chashanling, his mindset began to change.
—From that time on, Loen’s understanding of life began to change, and the ‘weight’ of some people’s lives began to decline in Loen’s perception.
Then came the conversation with the witch Valennir.
During that exchange, Loen saw for the first time a wizard who "did not consider himself human".
After that, the image of the wizard in Loon's mind began to decline from that of a normal person—becoming "inhuman".
Meanwhile, under the circumstances described by the wizard Valennil, the pressure on Loon himself is increasing.
Next up was the 'game' in the Great Shield City.
Four registered wizards take charge of the situation, acting as 'players,' while some court wizards serve as 'save points.'
Other commoners, nobles, knights, etc., all became meaningless 'NPCs'.
Luo Ang himself was also a member of that game.
During those ten days or so, Luo Ang was both a participant and an observer in the game.
—As a result, his perception became increasingly distorted.
Later, when he saw Anselo leading everyone to "eat infants," his rationality snapped in that instant.
From that moment on, his perception of wizards like Ansello changed to, "Since you don't treat me like a human being, then I won't treat you like one either."
From that moment on, he came to perceive himself with a sense of mission to "set things right".
Therefore, the "weight" of his own life, as he perceived it, became increasingly heavy—he became increasingly unable to die!
Even taking risks should not be done lightly.
Therefore, when using this kind of cognition as the fundamental logic of thinking, in order to keep himself further away from danger, he has more "expedient" options, the boundaries of his actions become more extensive, and his bottom line becomes lower and lower.
At the same time, because he increasingly disregarded wizards like Anselor as human beings, he became less and less concerned about how he dealt with Anselor.
The problem is that even though Anselor is still not considered a human being, he is still a life form—a life form that is "killing without abusing".
"This is outrageous." After a long while, Luo Ang finally opened his eyes and exclaimed.
It's often said that it's easy to learn bad habits but difficult to learn good ones.
In his previous life, he was bound by various laws and morals, so he didn't have a very clear understanding of this statement.
But now, Luo Ang has a profound understanding of this sentence!
Until this moment, he had always considered himself a person who was neither bad nor cruel.
His style of doing things has always been within a certain boundary, and can be described as "conformist".
But now, he is just a little bit away from completely breaking free from the constraints that bind him.
It's easy to go astray; you can imagine how simple that is.
"Thank goodness for this wizard's diary."
After sorting out his thoughts, Loon's incredibly complex gaze finally fell on the wizard Anselo lying in the coffin again—this wizard of the Silver Ash School was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that he had just escaped from an incredibly terrifying nightmare.
"We can't torture him; we have to give him a quick death."
"How can we avoid being tracked by that mark of vengeance?"
Luo Ang frowned. After regaining his composure and bringing himself back from the wrong path, Luo Ang's thoughts became much clearer than before.
"Perhaps we can consider this from another perspective."
"If the pursuit of that vengeful mark is unavoidable—is there any way to prevent the Silver-Gray School from touching that mark?"
"Is there any way to get the Silver-Gray School to recognize this normal vengeance mark as a 'flexible vengeance mark'?"
Luo Ang rubbed his temples.
He had a vague idea about this in his mind, but it was like a mountain range shrouded in thick fog, its specific shape difficult to discern.
The more he tried to see the thought clearly, the thick fog that enveloped him became even denser.
"Forget it, I'll meditate first. If all else fails, I'll just let those Silver Ash School wizards chase after me."
"Anyway, I originally intended to draw the attention of the Silver-Gray School and share the pressure on Fork Mountain."
After a moment, Luo Ang stopped dwelling on those vague thoughts—it was like when he was looking for something in his house in his previous life.
When you put all your effort into finding it, you just can't find it no matter what you do, even if you turn the house upside down.
But after a while, when you're not in such a hurry anymore, you'll suddenly realize that what you're looking for is right within your reach.
So, let's meditate first.
First, let those restless thoughts calm down.
