Chapter 57 The Underlying Color of Personality

From a sunny and cheerful youth to a gloomy and sinister demon king, Demon Eye's transformation was seamless, giving the impression of being completely natural.

It was as if he was such a person with both righteous and evil sides.

Demon Eye's strong upper body muscles bulged, veins protruded beneath his skin, and his expression was fierce and็‹ฐ็‹ž, like a hell-sent killing god.

He tried to break free from the camphor tree, and the entire prison cell trembled with his movements, the canopy rustling.

"You have accumulated so much power? Impossible!" Dog Elder's stunned and adorable dog face showed a human-like shock.

Demon Eye Heavenly King, with veins crawling across his cheeks like a demonic war god, curled up the left corner of his mouth:

"The power of the ancient war god comes from the heart, from the will! As long as my fighting spirit does not die, power will never wither!"

Dog Elder nodded in realization: "So you have been secretly accumulating power..."

Speaking of this, a strange color flashed in his black button-like eyes: "I know you value Yuan Shi Tian Zun very much, but I didn't expect him to have such a high position in your heart."

Because of an unconfirmed piece of information, he was already furious, close to losing his mind, and did not hesitate to expose his hidden power for so long.

The love and hatred of evil professions are different from ordinary people. Decades of friendship may be worthless in their eyes, while a brief glance back or a moment of recognition is enough to make them risk their lives for you.

Deformed and twisted.

Dog Elder said indifferently: "Yuan Shi Tian Zun is not dead!"

The trembling prison cell suddenly calmed down, the canopy stopped shaking, and Demon Eye Heavenly King froze, asking with a somewhat dazed expression:

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Dog Elder couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "You were the one who went crazy for no reason."

"Oh, then it's okay!" The murderous intent and violence in Demon Eye's eyes quickly dissipated, and he perked up the corner of his mouth, returning to his sunny and cheerful appearance:

"What happened to him?"

Dog Elder was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "He killed a colleague."

A fierce light lit up in Demon Eye's tired eyes, his head leaned forward unconsciously, and he stared at Dog Elder with burning eyes, urgently asking in a tone that suppressed excitement:

"Explain it clearly, explain it clearly!"

Dog Elder frowned, extremely dissatisfied with Demon Eye's excited posture: "A few days ago, I went to the Jinghai Branch to carry out a mission..."

Immediately, he briefly told Demon Eye what happened at the Jinghai Branch. At the end, Dog Elder sighed and said: "He should have had a more rational and appropriate choice, but he acted recklessly and made a big mistake."

Demon Eye was dumbfounded.

The prison cell fell into silence. After a long time, a low laughter sounded.

The laughter gradually expanded, turning into laughter, turning into wild laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

Demon Eye laughed wildly at the sky, ecstatic.

This was different from his usual cold-smiling lip-curling. He laughed so freely, so flamboyantly, echoing in the room in bursts.

"Have you laughed enough?" Dog Elder raised his head and looked down, annoyed: "Anyone who doesn't know would think you're ascending the throne to become emperor today!"

Demon Eye Heavenly King ignored him and continued to laugh loudly. After a long while, he stopped with lingering excitement and eagerly asked: "The last time I saw him, I noticed that his ferocity had become heavier. What did he say when he killed someone? What was his expression like? Do you have a video? Send it to me quickly, hahaha!"

"Enough!"

Dog Elder seemed to be provoked and raised his paw to slap the ground.

Vines came to life and wrapped around Demon Eye Heavenly King's mouth, teaching him to shut up physically.

After a while, when Demon Eye calmed down, Dog Elder waved his paw, removed the vines, and asked in a deep voice:

"I understand Yuan Shi. He is wise and profound, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and is rational. He is definitely not a biased or eccentric person. Did you curse him? I want to know how you did it."

Demon Eye Heavenly King raised the corner of his mouth: "You've misunderstood one thing. I did curse him, but that was just meaningless trash talk. I'm just a bewitching demon, not a wizard."

Dog Elder was stunned.

Underground basement of Fujiabao.

In a small room of thirty square meters, Zhang Yuanqing sat at a round table and smiled at the refined man with gold-rimmed glasses sitting across from him:

"We meet again, Dr. Sun!"

The middle-aged man was refined and thin, but without any sense of weakness. Instead, he had a kind of toughness and majesty like bamboo, which was concealed by his white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses.

This person was the psychologist responsible for examining and evaluating the mental state of the Songhai official The Way of the Extraordinary during the general physical examination.

"I've heard about your matter." Dr. Sun sighed: "You should have come to see me earlier."

"The squad leader reminded me, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with me. Mentally ill people don't think there's anything wrong with them, right!" Zhang Yuanqing said frankly.

Dr. Sun's eyes lit up: "In other words, you admit that there is a problem with your mental state?"

"I don't think so." Zhang Yuanqing first shook his head, and then said:

"I still don't think there was anything wrong with killing Wei Yuanzhou, but after calming down and thinking about it, I was a bit irrational at the time. I should have tied him up and brought him back to Songhai.

If it were me in the past, I would probably have done that. I can feel that I have changed a lot now, so reason tells me that maybe I should see a psychologist."

"Being able to admit your mistakes means there is still room for recovery." Dr. Sun nodded. As an experienced psychologist, he easily understood what Yuan Shi Tian Zun meant.

This is like the timid and cowardly me in the past. The current me has become brave and fearless, and I can clearly feel the changes before and after.

But at this time, Yuan Shi Tian Zun would not think there was anything wrong with him, because self-awareness is a very subjective thing. A madman never thinks he is a madman.

Dr. Sun asked: "Then what do you think is the reason that caused you to have such obvious changes in a short period of time?"

Zhang Yuanqing said without hesitation:

"It's Demon Eye's curse. That son of a bitch once cursed me to be as crazy as him. I didn't care at the time. I didn't expect that I would become demonized unconsciously. It's annoying, don't you think?"

Dr. Sun frowned: "But I heard from Elder Fu that Demon Eye didn't curse you at all. Bewitching demons don't have curse skills."

"I'm not too sure either. Dog Elder also said that I wasn't cursed, but that's just how it is." Zhang Yuanqing said helplessly.

This question was destined to be inconclusive. Dr. Sun pondered for a few seconds and began to enter the second step of psychological diagnosis. He asked in a gentle tone:

"Do you think Wei Yuanzhou deserved to die?"

"Doesn't a person who kills their parents deserve to die?" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"Indeed, he deserved to die, but why did you ignore the assassination of a colleague?" Dr. Sun asked.

"Of course it's wrong to assassinate a colleague, but that's just using shady means to achieve a goal. Which successful person in this world hasn't used dirty tricks? Of course it's wrong, but I won't be angry because of it." Zhang Yuanqing said.

Moral fastidiousness has increased, so he has become biased and paranoid. He is a weakened version of Demon Eye Heavenly King. Dr. Sun made a judgment in his heart and continued with this topic:

"Before coming here, I collected as much information as possible about you. What I'm most concerned about is the Bronze Sparrow Tower incident. I want to ask you what your attitude is towards those powerful and wealthy people involved in the case now."

This question made Zhang Yuanqing fall into a long silence. Dr. Sun waited patiently without asking, with a gentle and kind smile on his face.

With a long sigh, Zhang Yuanqing said:

"I saw the arrogance of those in power. I was very angry, but I was powerless. I said this sentence not long ago. That was my most real feeling. I am dissatisfied with the subsequent punishment results of the Bronze Sparrow Tower. I am dissatisfied with the Shako District Police Department's refusal to admit its mistakes, but I can't change it.

Like most people, I can only complain in my heart."

Dr. Sun hurriedly asked: "What about now?"

Zhang Yuanqing slowly said: "I will probably still endure it."

"Probably still endure it" means there is also the possibility of acting on behalf of Heaven. Dr. Sun nodded and extended the topic, guiding him step by step: "It is undeniable that there is power everywhere in this world. Fairness and justice are also relative. An adult with rich social experience and life experience is often difficult to brainwash because they have seen too much injustice and darkness and no longer believe in goodness. What do you think?"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Although you are trying to get information out of me, I agree with your statement."

"No, it's not trying to get information out of you, it's a heart-to-heart talk!" Dr. Sun corrected, and then listened to Yuan Shi Tian Zun continue:

"Because the human heart is like this, there is a good side to human nature, but there is also extreme selfishness and darkness. Once a person has power, they will definitely seek benefits for themselves and for their family, so they will plunder those without power, and then exploitation and oppression will arise."

Zhang Yuanqing said: "I said I was powerless because I can't change human nature."

Dr. Sun initially understood Yuan Shi Tian Zun's mentality, grasped his psychology, and decisively entered the third step of guidance.

He said:

"Yes, human nature cannot be changed, so why not try to coexist with it? We can look at the dark side of human nature from a more rational and objective perspective.

What do you think?"

He looked at Yuan Shi Tian Zun with burning eyes.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled. He looked back at Dr. Sun and said word by word: "Why should I coexist with it?"

Dr. Sun was stunned.

"Impossible!"

Dog Elder raised his voice: "Although I didn't detect the aura of a curse on him, the effect you wanted has been achieved. Yuan Shi has indeed become biased and eccentric in a short period of time. This is an objective fact."

Demon Eye Heavenly King revealed a strange smile:

"Remember what he said the day he came to see me?"

Dog Elder recalled slightly: "He said that greed is human nature. We must face up to human nature and face up to those dark sides. While punishing evil and promoting good, we must also learn to live in harmony with the world. I admire his words very much. They are rational and correct."

Demon Eye Heavenly King laughed:

"Bullshit! He's talking nonsense. He's fooling you. He's fooling himself."

"What do you mean!" Dog Elder's expression froze.

Demon Eye Heavenly King asked rhetorically:

"Do you know why I value Yuan Shi Tian Zun so much? I'm not familiar with him and don't know much about him. I really admire his courage to never use his power for personal gain, never oppress the good, and be willing to fight to the death for justice and evil.

But even though such people are rare, I can still find quite a few if I try my best. But I have never favored a person so much, nor have I ever regarded a righteous person as a fellow traveler.

Only Yuan Shi Tian Zun is an exception. Don't you think it's strange?"

Dog Elder fell into silence. He thought for a long time and vaguely had a guess in his heart:

"You mean..."

Demon Eye Heavenly King laughed wildly:

"Because he is such a person. Smoothness is his protective color to cover up his paranoia. Reason is the guise he uses to paralyze himself and others.

He is an extremely paranoid madman. There is a beast hidden in his eyes. The first time I saw him, I smelled the same kind of scent from Yuan Shi Tian Zun, even if he disguised it well." He is destined to be my companion. We will join hands on the path of cleansing the world and eventually create a truly fair and just world without oppression or power."

Demon Eye's excited laughter echoed in the room.

"Why should I coexist with it?" Dr. Sun stayed in a daze for a long time, staring sharply at Zhang Yuanqing:

"Do you know what you're saying? What's the difference between your words and Demon Eye's?"

"The biggest difference is that I'm rational and he's not rational enough," Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart:

"I know these words sound very extreme. Um, let me give you an example, Dr. Sun. If you see a pile of dog shit on the street and you happen to have the time and tools to clean up the garbage, would you choose to clean it up?"

"I would!" Dr. Sun nodded.

"So, when I was still an ordinary person, I only dared to complain about some injustices in my heart because I knew I was powerless. But when I have the ability to sweep away those filth and dirt, why should I endure it? Why should I coexist? Coexistence is a compromise under powerlessness." Zhang Yuanqing expressed his true feelings. "Your analogy is inappropriate. The correct analogy is that if I see someone robbing on the street, I will subdue them and turn them over to the police station to let the law punish them," Dr. Sun said:

"Instead of chopping off the hand that robbed them. If the power of the judiciary falls into the hands of individuals, that is unfair to the weak. Yuan Shi, if everyone was like you, where would the order be?"

Zhang Yuanqing retorted:

"Have you ever thought that you turned that robber over to the police station, and it turned out that he was the director's brother-in-law, and he turned around and let him go. He continued to rob and steal outside. Is this fair to the weak?

If you insist on arguing that there is naturally a law to punish the director and the brother-in-law, then my example is still valid. Maybe the leader of the inspection team is their brother-in-law."

Dr. Sun thought to himself that he was almost led astray by you.

He took a deep breath and said in as gentle words as possible:

"We said just now that human nature is ugly and needs to be punished. The Five Elements Alliance's investigation and punishment of derelict members has never stopped. The example you gave is an isolated case and belongs to a change of concept.

If everyone did what you did, the world would be in chaos."

Zhang Yuanqing was silent. He didn't speak for a long time and seemed powerless to argue.

Just as Dr. Sun was about to further shape his views, Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and said softly:

"Do you know Wei Yuanzhou's grandfather?"

"I've heard of him!" Dr. Sun nodded.

"Then who will speak for him? Who will give him justice? You call it free organization to punish him, raise his grandson for more than ten years, the organization has punished? Have you returned him justice? If it was not desperate, he willing to go to extremes? The ancients said that the object is not flat, then Ming no one will return my justice and justice, I naturally want to Ming." Zhang Yuanqing said:

"And like him, it is by no means an isolated case. I even don't know whether you said that always punishing "is to punish the majority only leaving fish or only punish a very small number of people, more damned people is also at large.

Five Elements Alliance processing of illegal groups may not be more than a year to kill the local tyrants much. Is there a possibility that the vast majority of looters, illegal individuals are still at large not have been punished. Maybe they will never be punished.

If so, why do you say I'm wrong?"

Dr. Sun was silent for a moment.

Zhang Yuanqing continued:

"I killed Wei Yuanzhou, but I'm not happy because Wei Yuanzhou is guilty, but he is also one of the victims. The ending of this matter is that the poor family is extinct.

What exactly led to such an outcome? Is it me?

Of course, I admit that my approach was inappropriate, I was impulsive, I had better ways to deal with it, but this is because I have the ability and the channels to make Wei Yuanzhou accept punishment.

But Dr. Sun, many people are begging for no help."

The room fell into silence. Dr. Sun was silent for a long time, got up and said:

"I understand what you mean. I don't think there's any need to continue today's consultation."

He nodded slightly and left the room.

Fujiabao study.

Dr. Sun, led by the bunny girl, met Fu Qingyang.

"How are the diagnostic results?" Fu Qingyang asked.

Dr. Sun retold the conversation between the two to Fu Qingyang and sighed:

"Has a strong sense of justice, but is biased, paranoid, and prone to impulsive behavior. What's worse is that his set of ideas is correct to some extent and conforms to reason and human nature, so it is more difficult to reverse. How should we reverse the correct things!

But if it cannot be effectively curbed and improved, it may become the second Demon Eye Heavenly King in the future."

Fu Qingyang's face sank, his elbows propped up on the table, and he slowly said:

"We still don't know what form Demon Eye uses to curse. Dog Elder has gone to test Demon Eye, and I will tell you the results later. I hope it can be inspiring for your treatment plan."

After finishing speaking, seeing Dr. Sun hesitating to speak, he frowned slightly, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

Dr. Sun nodded and said:

"Perhaps Demon Eye didn't curse him at all."

Fu Qingyang was stunned: "What do you mean!"

Dr. Sun worded it a bit and said:

"During the general physical examination, I once asked about his family environment. Yuan Shi Tian Zun lost his parents at an early age, and his parents left him to be taken care of by his grandparents, neglecting management.

The impact on a child who suddenly lives in an unfamiliar environment is great. If he is often bullied during his studies..."

Fu Qingyang's face became more and more ugly, and he interrupted him coldly: "What are you trying to say?"

Dr. Sun smiled bitterly:

"Is it possible that this is the real Yuan Shi Tian Zun? Being sophisticated and good at socializing is the choice he made to adapt to the environment. The rationality we saw before is also the same.

Rationality, cheerfulness, and good at socializing are his superficial personality, but in fact, the underlying color of his personality is paranoid and unyielding." I once wrote in the evaluation that he is an idealist...in fact, this is the tip of the iceberg of his true personality."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Fu Qingyang and saw that he was listening with a solemn face, and then continued:

"After he became a The Way of the Extraordinary, his ability became stronger and stronger, and his level became higher and higher, and he subconsciously felt that he no longer needed to disguise, so he gradually began to show his true personality."

Fu Qingyang said angrily:

"No, Yuan Shi is not like this. If the personality he shows is all a disguise, do you think I can't see it?"

Dr. Sun said:

"This is possible, for example, he himself didn't realize his true personality. For example, the second personality we often say."
