Chapter 171 Is Human Nature Inherently Good? Or Is Human Nature Inherently Evil?
Chapter 171 Is Human Nature Inherently Good? Or Is Human Nature Inherently Evil?
[May 1995: Your relationship with Lin Ye progressed rapidly, during which you learned various sword techniques from Lin Ye.]
June 1995: Your relationship with Lin Ye is getting better and better, but you always feel uneasy late at night. This is because you realize you're different from others. You start to worry whether Lin Ye will dislike you for this.
July 1995: During summer vacation, Lin Ye said he wanted to take you on a trip away from Guanbuzi City, but you didn't agree. Finally, you decided to tell Lin Ye everything.
Ryougi Shiki is ready to be honest. She doesn't like the feeling of hiding things, and she decides that no matter what Lin Ye does, she will accept it openly.
At this moment, Lin Ye also noticed that something was wrong with Ryougi Shiki.
[July 13, 1995: Late at night, you heard a knock on the door, so you opened it.]
At this moment, you see Ryougi Shiki standing at the door, looking at you. She waves and then smiles as she introduces herself, "Hello, my name is Ryougi Shiki."
Is it woven with Yin and Yang?
Lin Ye lowered his head and thought for a moment. He already knew who he was facing.
The two are essentially the same person, Shi and Zhi. Apart from some differences in personality, they are basically the same.
However, Shiki may have some misunderstandings about Oori. She thought that Oori only knew how to kill, so in order to ensure Ryougi Shiki's morality, she repeatedly "killed" Oori in her mind, thereby controlling Oori's killing desires.
However, Ryougi Ori doesn't actually enjoy killing; rather, in her naive mind, all she knows is how to kill.
"Lin Ye, right? This is our first official meeting, isn't it? I never imagined that Shi would open her heart to a man."
Ryougi looked at Lin Ye with curiosity, constantly scrutinizing the man in front of her.
"Shiki hates humans. I really can't believe that she would fall in love with a man and even enjoy being loved."
“Shi actually understands everything,” Lin Ye said directly. “She doesn’t hate humans; in fact, she loves humans more than anyone else.”
Lin Ye understood Ryougi Shiki very well. She was just not good at expressing her feelings, but that didn't mean she hated everyone.
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Ryougi Ori was also stunned for a moment, and then continued, "Is that so? I don't think so. Humans can only express the emotions they have felt, but I am different. I have felt everything about humanity since birth. Shiki is one with me. How could she, who has felt the evil of humanity since birth, possibly like humans?"
"Do you think you understand everything about human nature?" Lin Ye looked at Ryougi Shiki in front of him. He knew that what Ryougi Shiki thought was just her opinion.
“Of course, human nature is inherently evil,” Ryougi-ori said.
"Is that so?" Lin Ye looked at Ryougi Shiki in front of him and suddenly said to her, "Let me tell you a story. There was a girl walking alone on the road. She met a blind beggar. The girl suddenly felt sorry for the beggar, so she gave him 1000 yuan."
This person... is called Ryougi-ori.
"That was just something I did on the spur of the moment." Ryougi's expression changed slightly. She herself had almost forgotten about it.
Ryougi Shiki enjoys nighttime walks because it's the only way she can experience a peaceful solitude. As for what Lin Ye mentioned, she does seem to have done it, but she doesn't know when it happened.
"1000 yuan doesn't mean anything."
"No, I think this 1000 yuan represents a lot," Lin Ye shook his head.
Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil has been debated for nearly a thousand years without reaching a conclusion.
Lin Ye felt that humanity was binary, and that neither extreme good nor extreme evil was correct. In Ryougi Shiki and Ryougi Ori's eyes, however, they mistakenly identified themselves as good or evil, which was itself a flawed way of thinking.
"How about we do an experiment?" Lin Ye suddenly said.
"What experiment?" Ryougi looked at Lin Ye, puzzled. Lin Ye simply opened his hand, and flowers began to swirl around it. "I've always believed that pure kindness cannot be observed independently. So... come with me."

Suddenly, Lin Ye grabbed Ryougi Shiki's hand, and in that instant, he pulled her up into the air.
She had seen this man's magical Ryougi Shiki before, so she didn't show any surprise.
...........
Then, Lin Ye led her to a small alley. At that moment, several delinquent teenagers were chasing a girl in a school uniform in the alley. Clearly, these teenagers had ulterior motives towards the girl.
At that moment, Lin Ye whispered in Ryougi Shiki's ear...
"Her name is Asagami Fujino. Like you, she's from one of the four great exorcist families. Like you, she displayed extraordinary abilities from a young age. However... unlike you, her family avoids her abilities like the plague, even going so far as to infuse her with large amounts of [unspecified substances] to prevent her from using them."
The painkillers caused her to develop analgesia.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Ryougi looked at Lin Ye beside her. "If you want to save her, then do it. Why are you telling me all this?"
"Take action? No, no, no, this is her destiny." After saying this, Lin Ye's body turned into flower petals and disappeared into the sky.
At that moment, Ryougi clearly saw that the girl had been cornered by several delinquents, who continued to approach her, and the girl's face was filled with fear.
But there was nothing she could do; she could only watch helplessly as these thugs drew ever closer to her. "Help!"
The girl kept shouting, but no one could answer her cries for help in the dead of night.
"Go ahead and scream! You can scream your lungs out, but no one will come to save you!" the thug said, then drew closer and closer to the girl...
Three meters... two meters... one meter...
Finally, just as the leader of the delinquents was about to place his hand on the girl, Ryougi's voice rang out, "Stop!"
Brush brush!
Instantly, the four delinquents turned around. The moment they saw Ryougi Shiki, their eyes lit up. "Heh, we were worried that one wouldn't be enough, but another one has come knocking on our door! Brothers! Let's go!"
Brush brush!
Instantly, the thugs rushed towards Ryougi Shiki, and at that moment, Ryougi Shiki couldn't hold back and raised her fist.
"You guys...you're really disgusting!"

Chapter 172 Bringing Ryougi Shiki to the Holy Grail War!
[Ryougi's fist slammed into the opponent's face, and then she discovered that everyone in front of her had turned into flower petals and disappeared. Illusion A+]
Asagami Fujino's fate was already altered during the last simulation, so it certainly won't appear this time. Besides, the timing isn't right either.
"It seems the experiment has yielded results."
Lin Ye appeared beside Ryougi Ori, and seeing this, Ryougi Ori understood everything.
"You really are..."
Ryougi was speechless for a moment. She could only look at Lin Ye in front of her and after a long while, she finally said, "You won."
Seeing Ryougi Shiki like this, Lin Ye smiled.
"4, 2, 3..." "She...was actually persuaded by Lin Ye?"
Ryougi Shiki watched this scene, and she never expected that Ryougi Shiki could also gain Lin Ye's approval.
For Lin Ye, the existence of the Yin-Yang Weaving was somewhat perplexing. This experiment was not just a trial, but also a process for Lin Ye to find the answers.
If Ryougi Shiki's performance satisfies Lin Ye, then the ending will be a happy one. If Ryougi Shiki disappoints, then Lin Ye wouldn't mind having Ryougi Shiki's personality disappear.
Fortunately, Zhi did not disappoint Lin Ye.
[1996: You are 17 years old and in your second year of high school. Your relationship with Ryougi and Hayashi has progressed rapidly.]
1997: You are 18 years old and a senior in high school. Your relationship with Lin Ye is progressing rapidly. After the college entrance examination, you decide to go to the University of Tokyo, so you prepare to leave Kanbuko City with Lin Ye.
However, on the very night you were packing your things to leave Guanbuzi City, as you and Lin Ye were strolling hand in hand, a car sped towards you!
"Danger!"
You instinctively wanted to push Lin Ye away, but Lin Ye turned around and protected you behind him. He then kicked the car, sending it flying more than ten meters away.
Then, Lin Ye took your hand and said, "Wait here for me, don't move. I'm going to buy something and I'll be right back."
Then, Lin Ye's figure disappeared.
You just wait where you are. Ten minutes later, Lin Ye came back, took your hand, and left without saying a word.
You smelled a faint scent of blood on Lin Ye, but you said nothing.
Because you trust Lin Ye completely.
Who caused Ryougi Shiki's tragic life?
Araya Sōren.
This man is a magician who has lived for over 200 years, and his goal, like most magicians, is to reach the root.
