Facing the cool sea breeze at night, Zhang Cheng enjoyed the most densely populated and prosperous Manhattan Island in New York through the window. He didn't know what he was thinking.
But when the car crossed the sea bridge into Brooklyn, he suddenly turned his head and asked the other two people in the car without warning, "do you think there is something wrong with my mental state?"
"Huh? What!" Tracy was obviously stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"I mean, compared with ordinary people, is my usual reaction a little extreme or full of violence?" Zhang Cheng explained expressionless.
Just on the road, he has been constantly reflecting on his recent behavior and found that he has changed a lot unconsciously. Especially in terms of the relationship between life and death, he completely broke the traditional moral concept formed in more than 20 years, and began to look down on ordinary people in a condescending attitude, even without paying attention to the life and death of civilians.
There is no doubt that this is very abnormal, at least when he feels that the change is too fast and too sudden.
It may be the side effect of gaining powerful power quickly, or it may be caused by a strong sense of loneliness and estrangement. In short, the warning of the magic sword and prophecy witch Anthea finally attracted his attention.
Sarcastic ridicule, a little harsh, selfish, eccentric, and a little weird way of thinking, but it's not bad at all, "Tracey make complaints about in a cold tuckus.
After all, in her opinion, the mysterious young wizard sitting beside him not only saved his own life, but also paid for his tragic sister. In any way, he must be grateful rather than vicious.
"Abnormal, sour, lonely, eccentric way of thinking... Well, that's what I look like in your eyes." Zhang Cheng sighed helplessly.
Since childhood, he has been praised by countless people for his intelligence and cleverness. He never dreamed that he would leave such an impression on others.
"Ha! Just kidding, don't take it too seriously." the girl smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
But Zhang Cheng didn't give up. He patted the lawyer driving: "Polman, what do you think?"
The latter pondered for a moment and responded carefully: "Sir, I don't think you should compare yourself with the mental state of ordinary people. There is no comparability between the two.
The reason is very simple. You have unparalleled magic power, but they don't. in the underground world, many powerful people often have many quirks.
For example, Senator miles likes to keep all kinds of dangerous highly toxic reptiles and eat them at a specific time;
Ms. Catherine likes to play with young and handsome men and kick them open after capturing their hearts;
Ansia witch likes to collect mirrors. Anyone who dares to break the mirror in front of her will be unlucky for a full year.
In fact, not only the underground world, but also some politicians and rich people in the ordinary world will have some unknown special hobbies, which are the embodiment of their inner desire without exception.
But you, you seem to have deliberately suppressed your desires and made yourself as rational as possible. To be exact, you are too rational. Rationality is somewhat inhumane and frightening... "
Polman racked his brains and tried to avoid using some words with supervisor tendency and irony, for fear of accidentally offending the object of his loyalty.
"Too rational?" Zhang Cheng repeated the word in a low voice, and a mysterious smile soon appeared on his face.
He finally understood what his problem was. He was too eager for quick success and instant benefits in his way of thinking recently. He even took feelings and desires as a tool that can be used to seek benefits for himself.
In the eyes of outsiders, this behavior is undoubtedly quite terrible. If a person can give up his feelings and desires at any time, what else can't he give up?
This is not only the weakness of human nature, but also the basis for building mutual relations in the process of human communication.
If a person handles what happens around him in full accordance with his interests and completely ignores the feelings of others, he will still be excluded and isolated even if his decision is correct and can bring great benefits to his group.
Unfortunately, in order to pursue endless power and knowledge, Zhang Cheng has been doing things according to this set of standards of conduct, and was inadvertently labeled as "dangerous" by some people.
Just as he was considering how to reverse this disadvantage, the car suddenly stopped.
On the empty road not far ahead, an old man on crutches blocked the way. He was no one else, but Kane, the "element messenger" who visited in person not long ago.
"Sir, what should we do?" Polman turned and asked with some uncertainty.
"Relax, maybe he just wants to talk to me." Zhang Cheng calmly pushed open the door, came down, smiled and said, "good evening, Lord Kane, what can I do for you?"
"Good evening, young wizard. I heard that you met Senator miles a few hours ago, so I wanted to ask about the media. How, are you able to make it?" Kane said nothing nonsense and directly expressed his purpose of blocking the way.
"Of course! As long as you need and can afford the price, I can provide sufficient supply at any time." Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking.
Although he hasn't devoted time to study what the colorful gravel is so far, he believes that as long as there is a formula, he can copy it perfectly in a few days.
"Oh? It seems that you have made some unknown deals with miles. If I guess correctly, it must be related to his family?" Kane quipped with a smile.
"I think it should be our business, doesn't it have anything to do with you?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows and pushed back impolitely.
As a penetrator who hides a lot of secrets, he instinctively excludes anyone from prying into his privacy.
Kane shrugged his shoulders indifferently and explained: "Don't be nervous. I don't want to inquire about your transaction. I just want to remind you that if you need to protect his family, you should turn around and go to Miles's house right now. Because half an hour ago, * * Banshee Patty just recruited a group of outlaws in the territory of many lords in Brooklyn. According to her character of vengeance, I'm afraid there now There are not many people left. "
"What?!" Zhang Cheng suddenly changed.
"Don't you know? Miles humiliated this dangerous woman, not only deprived her of her title and territory, but also exiled her to the uninhabited tropical rain forest of South America. Now she's back, with endless anger and hatred, how can she not retaliate, especially when the enemy is weak enough to linger on the edge of death..."
