Suddenly, Ye Fan seemed to think of something!
He asked in a trembling voice, "You...you...you can't... you can't be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, right?"
The middle-aged man showed a playful smile.
"Don't you think it's weird?"
"Is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in your impression supposed to be a kind-hearted person?"
"It's not like me, full of hostility and domineering?"
Ye Fan nodded dully.
He was right. In Ye Fan's impression, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should have the compassion of Buddhism.
But how could this person in front of him have any sense of mercy?
It's not bad that Ye Fan didn't regard him as a god of death!
The middle-aged man said lightly: "Actually, you are right to think so!"
"When I first accepted the [-]th level of hell, I did have the face of a Bodhisattva as you imagined!"
"However, the eighteenth floor of hell is not a holy place for Buddhism. There are too many sins and evils here!"
"I have to face endless sins every day, and I keep chanting sutras for them to wash away the sins of these people!"
"Even if I have Buddha's light body protection, over time, I will be eroded by the endless evil here!"
"I swore before, hell is not empty, and I vow not to become a Buddha!"
"However, the me now, not to mention becoming a Buddha, is already burning incense if I don't fall into the devil's way!"
The words of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were like a heavy punch, hitting Ye Fan hard in the face.
Ye Fan only felt a 'buzz' in his head, and his whole brain went blank!
what is this?Why is what I see completely different from what I remember?
Could it be that the things I saw before were all fairy tales?
Seeing that Ye Fan's eyes were dull, he couldn't accept this reality.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly said, "Ye Fan, this world is like this!"
"What you see and hear is always what others want you to see and hear!"
"The truth is far more cruel than your imagination!"
As soon as the words fell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand, and scenes from the [-]th floor of hell appeared in front of Ye Fan.
Those scenes, scenes of ugly faces of human beings, no matter men, women, old or young, polite or vicious people, no one is clean.
What those people did was simply unsightly.
And these people are the ones Ye Fan desperately wants to save.
Even at the final critical moment of life and death, they still think of harming others and benefiting themselves!
"Hahahaha!" Ye Fan burst into laughter suddenly.
Ye Fan stopped laughing until he couldn't even straighten his waist.
His original smiling face gradually darkened, and finally turned into a terrifying face.
"It's all a lie!"
"It's all a lie!"
"..."
Ye Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "Is this world already rotten?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not answer him, but asked calmly, "Do you believe in light?"
Ye Fan said with a gloomy face: "Hehe! I believe in light, but there is no Ultraman in this world!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't know what Ye Fan meant, he was already in darkness and couldn't listen to anything.
However, the corners of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mouth slightly raised.
This is exactly the result he wanted!
A person who saves the world cannot only have compassion in his heart!
Even though he could tell at a glance that Ye Fan was the kind of decisive person to kill.
But this is not enough for a savior.
Not only does he want to be able to deal with the enemy, but he also has to be able to deal with the people around him!
Any hesitation may ruin his life!
A true savior cannot have any weaknesses!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued: "Where there is light, there is darkness. This is an eternal truth!"
"Where there is light, there is good, and where there is darkness, there is evil!"
"However, this is not static!"
"Sometimes the evil in the light is better than the evil in the dark, and the good in the dark is not necessarily less than the good in the light!"
"Good and evil are never separate!"
"You cannot abandon all the good just because there is evil!"
Ye Fan slowly raised his head to look at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, grinning and said, "Bodhisattva, what do you think I should do?"
"Saving the many evil for the good few?"
"In this case, even if the rescue is successful, the world will soon return to its original appearance!"
"What's the point of that?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "You can't just look at the result, the process is the most important thing!"
Ye Fan: "So, you have become what you are now, and you still don't regret it?"
