"I believe you!"
"I want to believe you too, but how can I be sure you're telling the truth and the victim is lying?"
The viewers in the live stream had heard the entire story.
Some believed, while others were skeptical.
"Carrying an iron rod late at night for self-defense?"
"The key is, why would the victim do something like this? They should be heartbroken and distressed, not have the energy to spread rumors."
"Upstairs, you don't understand. If he's telling the truth, and the killer hasn't been found after so many days, the victim's family would surely be anxious...
And, you have to pay money if you kill someone, right? Think about the 'fake accident' theory.
However, the situation is still unclear, so I won't say too much. If there's another twist, I'll be the executioner."
"Dog head for self-preservation, let's see what the streamer says."
...
In the live stream—
"Believe me, believe me! Why don't you believe me!"
Zhou Lan grabbed Jiang Lin's hand, his breathing becoming unsteady, his eyes turning bloodshot.
The surrounding Yin energy also began to stir, flowing towards them.
Faint traces of knife wounds began to appear on his body.
The words of those people were like knives, striking him one by one, manifesting as countless wounds, large and small.
Making him bleed and hurt.
"I believe you."
Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder.
It suppressed the changes and also quelled the restless Yin energy around them.
Jiang Lin said calmly, "You didn't kill anyone."
Some things, humans cannot see, but he could.
If someone had killed, there would be a trace of blood qi on them.
But Zhou Lan had none.
Jiang Lin glanced at the group of over a dozen adults below, and the little boy.
Some matters, the mortal realm might consider human ethics, consider the law, and be unable to judge.
But the underworld would not; the underworld has its own laws.
If you did it, you did it.
Everything they had done would be etched onto their souls.
The Judge, holding the Book of Life and Death, could read their entire lives at a glance.
"You, you believe me?"
The almost deranged Zhou Lan blinked, murmuring,
"You believe me... they don't believe me, but you believe me..."
His aura gradually calmed down, and the changes on his body disappeared.
His eyes were no longer red, and the wounds on his body were gone.
It felt as if something in his heart had cleared.
"You believe me..."
He mumbled, and his rationality began to return.
Looking at Jiang Lin, who was dressed as a Bai Wuchang, he suddenly posed a question:
"If you saw a dog about to fall into the water, and you couldn't bear to see it, so you lent a hand and saved it.
But after it got up, it not only bit you, but also pushed you into the river..."
He paused, then continued, "What would you think?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment. What kind of divine dog could push him into the river?
"Perhaps I would regret saving it, or perhaps I would hate it. But..."
Jiang Lin glanced at him and said calmly, "But who can know what happens afterward?"
"Since you couldn't bear to see it, and you had the ability to help... then just seek to have a clear conscience at that moment."
Every decision a person makes can lead them down a different path.
Therefore, people often say, "If only I had known..." or "I shouldn't have..."
But who can know what happens afterward?
They have no foresight.
The future is ever-changing, and no one knows.
Just like those who rushed forward to block bullets without hesitation, they didn't have time to consider what would happen next.
Just like when the gods fought on the battlefield, they didn't know if they would be sent to the 'Black Abyss'.
Just like 'Jiang Lin' in that life, after proposing the divine reincarnation plan, didn't know if any negative consequences would arise.
Just like...
Su Shenxue in the past, didn't know if she could represent justice.
All they could guarantee was having a clear conscience at that moment.
If many things were not done out of fear of potential outcomes...
Then this world would likely be a different place.
...
"But seek to have a clear conscience at that moment..."
Zhou Lan murmured, and the situation that night was recalled.
At that time, he truly didn't know if the other party could still be saved.
If he had seen it, and didn't even call 120...
Wouldn't that be abandoning someone to die?
Even if he had left then, he would have felt uneasy when he thought about it later.
Perhaps because someone had once held an umbrella for him, he wanted to lend a hand when he saw something he could help with.
...He did nothing wrong.
The ones who were wrong were those who judged without understanding the facts.
He looked at Jiang Lin, "You're right, I had a clear conscience at that time."
"And I still have a clear conscience now."
He had lived up to himself in this mortal life.
"Come with me." Jiang Lin saw that he showed no further signs of becoming a ghost.
He stood up, opened the passage to the underworld, and was about to take him back.
The next moment, a bright light suddenly erupted from Zhou Lan, instantly enveloping him.
Strands of threads appeared, coiling around the outside of the light sphere.
Jiang Lin felt the aura emanating from it, was stunned, and then erected a barrier around them.
Isolating the outside.
Even the small live stream ball was excluded.
"This is... restoration complete, returning to the Heavenly Palace?"
Jiang Lin looked at the light sphere.
It was quite sudden.
The process of gods repairing themselves through reincarnation was not easy.
Not to mention failed repairs...
Even if the repair was successful, if any accidents occurred during the reincarnation process, the possibility of returning to the Heavenly Palace would decrease.
For example, committing underworld laws during reincarnation.
Or, like Zhou Lan just now, becoming obsessed and unable to think clearly due to certain matters...
These could all become obstacles to recovering power and returning to the Heavenly Palace.
...
Jiang Lin was stunned, and the viewers in the live stream were also shocked.
The entire bullet screen was almost divided into two parts.
The moment before, they were still saying:
"So there really was a twist. Thankfully, I didn't spray randomly before."
"Yeah, but seek a clear conscience. Who knows what will happen in the future."
"Boys need to protect themselves when they're out."
"Cyberbullying is truly terrifying, killing without a trace. If I were treated like that, I would have been depressed long ago."
And then, in the next moment,
Zhou Lan flew up, enveloped in holy light.
Looking like he was about to evolve or transform.
The viewers were dumbfounded, their sunflower seeds falling to the ground with a clatter.
"Holy crap, I guessed there would be a twist, but I really didn't see this coming."
"What's going on? Ascending to Buddhahood on the spot???"
"I bet all those online trolls are eating their words. People should never rely on luck. Even if you escape the mortal realm, you can't escape the underworld's laws."
A group of viewers instinctively double-tapped the screen to take screenshots.
This awe-inspiring scene had to be saved.
Having watched dramas and novels for years, encountering exciting screenshots... this had become their instinctive reaction.
After taking the screenshots, they all realized:
Damn, we forgot that underworld scenes can't be saved.
"Where are the painting masters? Hurry up and save it, no, remember it in your minds and draw it!"
"The moment of witnessing a miracle has arrived!"
"May all good people have good fortune!"
As thousands of viewers in the live stream were getting excited.
The next moment, the small live stream ball was blocked outside the barrier.
Then, the live stream screen went black.
[Underworld Healing Daily] Live stream is not broadcasting.
The viewers who had just become excited: "..."
Don't do this, let us see more qaq.
