Sinmonger Chapter 9: Burning

December 13, noon, Tianyi's bookstore.

An unshaven man in a leather jacket pushes the door and enters.

He walked straight to the boss's desk and said, "You are under arrest."

Tianyi didn't read books all day, just sat there drinking coffee leisurely, as if he had been waiting for this moment.

"Is that Whale Police Officer? It's been a long time."

The whale bird replied: "Humph, did you know I would come?"

"Of course I know." Tian Yi held his chin in one hand, calm.

"Since you knew I would come, but didn't run away in advance, it means that you either have the consciousness to confess your guilt, or you are a complete lunatic."

"I'm not crazy, the world is crazy."

"It's up to you." The whale took out a pair of handcuffs and threw them on the table: "Do you want to put them on yourself or do you want me to do it?"

"Do you have an arrest warrant?" Tian Yi was completely unmoved.

"Hahahaha..." Whale Bird couldn't help laughing: "A person like you actually told me about legal procedures?"

Tian Yi didn't smile: "So you know that your actions are illegal."

Whale Bird put away her smile instantly, took out the gun from the holster and pointed at Tian Yi's eyebrow: "This is my law!"

Tianyi slumped on the chair and applauded calmly: "No, this is not law, but justice." He finally smiled: "The law is just a tool, written on paper, to serve the powerful, It can be used, modified, abolished at any time; but justice is more than that.”

The whale bird's hand holding the gun is still firm: "Then please put on your handcuffs before you are hit by justice and accept the legal punishment."

"I haven't finished my words yet." Tian Yi stood up.

The whale bird took a half step back alertly, and the muzzle followed Tianyi's movements, pointing at its head without deviation.

Tian Yi casually walked to the bookshelf on the side: "But I have to say that justice is the thing that disgusts and disgusts me the most. It's just an illusion of human beings." He pointed out Whale Bird: "You adhere to the concept of right and wrong derived from a broad set of moral ethics, use the word 'justice' to hypnotize yourself, turn it into belief, and make yourself believe in everything you do , every choice is correct.

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than a high-level hypocrisy. "

He took four black books from the shelf, put them on the table, then walked to the corner of the room, crouched down and opened a cabinet.

"For the lion, it is justice to prey on the antelope, otherwise it and its children will starve to death; for the antelope, it is also justice to escape the predation of the lion, otherwise it will be eaten. In this case, justice Is it self-contradictory? No, what they follow is the same. Animals just follow the instinct of survival. This is the law of nature, and the rules of the world are maintained and run in the dark. It cannot be written on paper. It cannot be tampered with or violated. To call it the name of 'justice' is simply a great insult."

Tianyi took out an iron bucket from the cabinet. With the book in one hand and the bucket in the other, he walked to the door of the store, "If you don't mind, please open the door for me."

Whale Bird had already put down his gun at this time, and he could see that Tian Yi had no plans to escape at all.

"What on earth are you doing?" Although he asked, the whale bird pushed the door open for Tian, ​​and followed him out of the bookstore.

The sky is hazy outside, and the north wind is cold, and Tian Yi, who is only wearing a shirt and suit, is obviously shivering.

He put the iron bucket on the ground, took out a kerosene lighter, and lit a book in his hand.

Continuing what he just said, Tian Yi said: "So, human beings are the same. From the point of view of any ordinary human being, only himself is the only protagonist in his life. It's just a supporting role.

And justice has become a very subjective thing. Children who grew up in troubled times, children who grew up in prosperous times, children who grew up in slums, descendants of princes and aristocrats... They are exposed to different levels and instilled with different values. In the end, everyone will have their own justice.

Whale Bird, you think what you are doing is right, just because it conforms to the justice in your heart. "

The whale snorted coldly: "So...you mean, you are right to kill innocent people?"

Tianyi threw the half-burned book into the iron bucket beside his feet, "I didn't kill them, since the day I came to Hokkaido on December 5th, I have never left. Bookstores, at most, come to the door to burn books and sign for some takeaways, how can you say that I killed innocent people indiscriminately?"

"But the case is all under your control!"

"Really? So, do you have any evidence to prove it? Even if those people come back to life, they'll tell you that I never 'instructed' them to do anything like murder, I just let them do something irrelevant It's just the little things that matter, and in exchange, they can hear some interesting news from me, or read the books I have in my hand."

The whale bird's gaze unconsciously looked at the almost burned book in the barrel ~IndoMTL.com~ The smoke was emitting a faint purple.

"What kind of books are these?"

Tianyi looked up at the sky: "These books record the 'sin' of people." He took a deep breath, and glanced at the ashes in the bucket: "The greedy young people hang their corpses in the crowd."

The whale bird was startled when she heard the words, and Matsuo's death flashed before his eyes.

Tianyi threw the second book into the bucket again, this time the smoke was slightly orange.

"The tyrannical and ruthless man splits his body with a knife."

Whale Bird stared at the bull's eye, stepped forward and grabbed Tianyi's collar: "Besides Matsuo and Miura, who are the two books you have in your hand? Who else did you kill?! Did you kill Ikeda too? !”

Tian Yi smiled and threw the third book into the bucket, red smoke rose up: "Sloth indulgent people, disemboweled." He stared into the eyes of the whale and bird: "This book's The owner is indeed called Ikeda, but it is not Ikeda Wang, but Ikeda Meng."

The whale bird gritted its teeth and said, "You bastard..."

Tianyi held up the last book: "This is the 'cowardly and jealous' Ikeda-kun, don't worry, he is not dead yet." But two seconds later, Tianyi threw the book into the burning barrel Zhong: "Unfortunately, he is crazy, 'life is better than death'. So, his book is useless, and the content behind it is all crazy talk that I can't understand, oh, yes, he was yesterday I came home late and saw some things, and I went crazy after being stimulated. I haven’t gone to school today, so I don’t know what’s going on now…”

The whale bird let go of Tianyi and ran towards Ikeda's house, scolding: "Damn..."

Tian Yi straightened his neckline and smiled wildly at the back of the whale and bird: "You understand now! What is justice! Hahahaha!"
