#863 - What is evil
Miranda Warren was stunned.
When Evelyn spoke, her companions had been taken to the next transit point by the [Summoning Ceremony].
Only the ritual token in her hand was still quiet.
Miranda frowned slightly and looked at Evelyn with a little vigilance:
"What's the matter?"
After knowing the other party's devil identity, Miranda has always been wary of Evelyn, and has never been willing to trust Evelyn completely like she trusted Gale and others.
As we all know, devils are very good at using "real lies" to deceive mortals.
Rafi Gunasius is a typical example.
He thinks highly of himself and never disdains to use cheap lies to deceive people.
Rafi can make every word he says true, but different angles of understanding or different situations will cause these truths to become misleading false information, and then let the mortals who are deceived fall into his carefully prepared trap and pay the price of their souls.
In the eyes of the devil, using language skills to play with people's hearts is much more interesting than simply lying to deceive people.
As for Evelyn.
Although she has always been quite sincere to the believers of Norwen, and is even willing to ask for the protection of God as a devil.
But why the other party did this is still an unsolved mystery.
She obviously has her own plans and calculations, but she has never said it out loud.
Evelyn smiled softly with her lips covered.
Her makeup today is quite "devilish".
Thick smoky makeup, purple-black eyeshadow, dark black cherry lip glaze, plus exaggerated eyeliner and eyebrow drawing.
Her long wavy hair was dyed wine red by her, and she showed her good figure generously in this cold winter.
In short, she doesn't look like a good person at first glance!
Even the most dissolute prostitute would not dress like this.
"Miss Warren."
Evelyn raised the short-handled staff in her right hand and drew it slightly.
A light blue light flashed by.
Miranda began to hear a faint "rustling" noise in her ears.
She frowned slightly.
She was not unfamiliar with this thing, because she had seen Gale use this magic before.
Level 2 magic [Noise Blocking].
The effect is just as its name suggests. The words spoken by the caster and the target he chooses will become "rustling" noises to the people around him, and only the two parties can hear each other clearly.
The power of the magic is naturally not as strong as the level 4 [Silent Field] or similar sound-related magic.
And it is not difficult to crack. In theory, a level 2 magician can use [Noise Elimination] to crack it and make this magic ineffective.
The problem is.
Evelyn is a real devil.
So it is quite strange that she can use magic!
It feels like the goddess of magic is forced to submit.
Evelyn walked slowly to Miranda, almost sticking to her, leaning close to her ear, and whispered:
"I just want you to think about this question carefully."
"What do you think is evil?"
Miranda frowned: "Of course it is those distorted things from the void!"
"Evil gods, monsters, and the cult lunatics who are willing to serve them, they are the greatest evil in the world!"
Evelyn didn't seem surprised by this answer, and asked: "According to your standards, Bishop Sket of Green Harbor, the leader of the Bloodfang Gang, Dursley, Bishop Henry Trang of Ceylon, and Rune Monger, the former richest man in the kingdom, these people... are evil?"
Miranda: "Yes!"
"The merits and demerits cannot be offset. No matter what they have done, when they choose to go along with evil, they are stained with the indelible evil mark!"
Evelyn blinked.
"Most of what Bishop Skeet of Green Harbor did was instructed by others, because he had a handle in the hands of the person behind the scenes."
"Refusing the other party's request means ruining one's reputation and being imprisoned and exiled."
"If Dursley of the Bloodfang Gang gave up accepting the "gift" of the evil god, he might always be the little De who served as a follower of the gang boss, and maybe one day he would die in a street fight for territory in the lower city, and then be sent to the crematorium in the lower city, without even a tombstone left."
"Bishop Henry Trang of Ceylon, his every move is monitored by the person behind the scenes, no matter who he is, as long as he sits in this position, he has no choice."
"Whether he resists or exposes, he will only face a lot of frame-ups and Framed, because he couldn't even determine the true identity of the person behind the scenes. "
"As for Rune Monger, after he had countless wealth, he tried to pursue a longer life so that he could enjoy everything he had more. "
"When he spent more than ten years and realized that praying to the gods was useless, his birth had determined that he would never become a transcendent in his life, and his life was almost over and he could die at any time, he chose to pin his hopes on another force, that is, the evil god from the void. "
"They are also evil, which makes sense. "
"Because they actually have the opportunity to say no to the so-called "evil", even if it means destroying everything they have. "
Miranda hesitated.
If it was her before, Miranda at that time had just left the Glorious God Cult not long ago, and her understanding of the world was simple and pure.
"Resisting the evil god, fighting the cultists, and destroying the monsters is justice, which symbolizes the glorious and sacred white;"
"Helping the evil god, supporting the cultists, and summoning monsters is evil, which symbolizes the void and chaotic black."
Simple judgment criteria.
At that time, her mind was full of thoughts such as "dedication, justice, and mercy". If she had to sacrifice herself to save others, Miranda would never hesitate.
At any cost, she could abandon her life at any time to maintain the "justice" she upholds.
But after experiencing one adventure after another, Miranda gradually came to understand more:
This world is neither white nor black.
It is a touch of exquisite gray.
Some so-called "evil people" are not cultists, and they know what they are doing.
They know that they are doing dangerous things.
They know that doing so may bring serious consequences.
But-this is the choice they made after weighing the pros and cons.
Compared to the other option, this choice is the best way they can find.
"If, I mean if."
Devil Evelyn said with a hint of meaning:
"There is a way to completely change the pattern of hundreds of years of difficult confrontation with evil at the cost of sacrificing countless mortals and severely damaging the entire civilization."
"Are those who choose to do this considered evil?"
