Chapter 326: The Train of Thought Was Correct, But Only Half-Correct

"City of God... Utopia... a joke from start to finish."

Although it was unclear whether Yu Kaiyu's death was fortunate or unfortunate, Ye Lin was very clear about one thing.

That was that the entire City of God was a massive scam.

That bizarre flesh inside these creatures' bodies could absolutely not be there just to rid them of desire; this was clearly parasitism.

The people of the City of God might all just be individual mobile petri dishes.

Once the time was ripe, this bizarre flesh would burst out from their bodies.

Ye Lin left Yu Kaiyu's home, preparing to find his next prey.

He had roughly figured out the habits of that bizarre thing: as long as the host encountered a life-or-death crisis, the bizarre thing would abandon the host without hesitation, burst out, and go to find the next host.

If this point were utilized well, it might not be impossible to save everyone in the City of God and let them break free from the control of that bizarre thing.

It was just that he still needed to clarify one thing.

Si Sui, Lin Qi, and that human in the Bright Moon Realm—these top combat forces in the City of God—were they also deceived by the so-called God? Or was it that they knew everything and were simply accomplices?

If they were also kept in the dark, then he could first force the bizarre thing out of Si Sui's body and then make him his helper.

If they were accomplices... then Ye Lin would only be able to carry this out in secret.

Ye Lin soon encountered his second prey; it was a long-haired man with glasses.

Using a script similar to the one just now, he successfully got the other party to take him home.

After some cajoling, this person also believed that there were distracting thoughts in his heart and strongly demanded that Ye Lin remove them for him, even if it meant death; it was exactly the same as Yu Kaiyu.

"Alright, then you must cooperate with me and cannot offer any resistance."

"Okay!" The long-haired man with glasses nodded with a determined look on his face.

This time, Ye Lin did not use Endless Devour, but directly cast the forbidden spell Heaven-Burning Karmic Fire.

The purplish-red, eerie flames burned on the body of the long-haired man with glasses, and the excruciating pain caused by the burning made the man's face turn ferocious.

"You cannot cry out; this is the divine fire cleansing your sins. Making a sound is a great disrespect to the God."

Fearing that the long-haired man's screams would attract others, Ye Lin spoke up to warn him.

Sure enough, once these words were spoken, even though he was about to faint from the pain, the long-haired man with glasses still gritted his teeth tightly and did not make a single sound; even his upper and lower rows of teeth began to make a clicking sound from the excessive force.

Ye Lin was even afraid that the man would bite his own teeth to pieces, but fortunately, Ye Lin's line of reasoning was correct; under the burning of the karmic fire, the man's vitality dropped rapidly.

The bizarre thing inside his body seemed to have sensed something and directly burst out, lunging toward Ye Lin, wanting to burrow into Ye Lin's body, but Ye Lin had been prepared for a long time; how could he possibly be successfully ambushed?

He reached out his hand and grabbed that bright red flesh directly; the tentacles on the flesh were constantly wriggling, and then Ye Lin withdrew the karmic fire from the long-haired man with glasses.

Although he was burned to a horrific state, as long as he received timely treatment, the long-haired man with glasses could still recover his health.

"Is this the distracting thought inside my body? Thank you, Brother Xie! You have done me a huge favor!"

The long-haired man with glasses, who had been burned to his last breath by the karmic fire, was full of gratitude.

"This is not some distracting thought; this is the culprit that keeps you from having desires. Feel it—have you recovered your worldly desires?" Ye Lin said, looking at the long-haired man with glasses.

The long-haired man with glasses fell silent.

And when he realized that he was reacting to women again, and even wanted to eat, the expression of the long-haired man with glasses became extremely bizarre.

"Brother Xie, don't joke with me..."

"I am not joking with you." Ye Lin held up the mass of bright red flesh with tentacles, his tone resolute. "This thing is what the God you worship planted inside your body. The God you worship very likely looks like this too."

"Heh... hehe... haha... hahahahaha!"

The long-haired man with glasses squeezed a series of incredibly bizarre laughs from his throat.

"Impossible, you are lying to me! The God is omnipotent; you must be lying to me! You God-deceiver, you will suffer the most severe punishment from the God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long-haired man with glasses, who had already been heavily wounded by the karmic fire, actually relied on his willpower to stand up and slammed his head into a corner of the wall with a bang, breaking his head and bleeding.

Fresh blood stained his face, which had been burned black, a dark red; his body was still twitching, and he had not yet completely died.

"Kill... kill me... please... kill me..." The eyes of the long-haired man with glasses were full of pleading.

Ye Lin remained silent.

The most terrifying thing in the world is having one's worldview and cognition changed.

This is like a cockroach possessing human cognition, or rather, you soul-transmigrating into the body of a cockroach while retaining all the cockroach's memories.

Then you begin to recall your life, and the beautiful memories you once had begin to make you nauseous.

You once stepped into a rotting, stinking trash can to feast; it contained many spoiled and moldy food scraps, which to you was a buffet restaurant.

You could eat anything, even the corpses of your own kind; they tasted like biscuits, somewhat crunchy, and the shells and internal organs were tender and juicy when chewed, melting in your mouth.

You now have six legs covered in hard, fine hairs; they are very strong and can support you in crawling back the same way after falling into a toilet bowl filled with excrement and being flushed into the sewer.

You have a belly full of insect eggs; as long as you find a suitable place and time, you can begin to multiply your offspring by the hundreds or thousands.

You also have powerful wings that can support you in soaring, flying onto people's faces, and making them let out high-decibel screams.

All of this, as a cockroach, is happy and wonderful; it is just a pity that you are a human, or rather, in your own cognition, you are a human.

For a cockroach, this is absolutely a catastrophic disaster.

Ye Lin making the people of the City of God realize that the God they worship is just a mass of bizarre flesh is equivalent to giving a cockroach human cognition.

This is also the reason why the long-haired man with glasses wanted to seek death.

Ye Lin's idea was wrong; the people of the City of God were beyond saving.

Making the people of the City of God realize that the God is fake is equivalent to looking up and staring directly at an Evil God in the Cthulhu world.

Their cognition has already been completely twisted and changed by that so-called God; even if they are made to realize that the so-called God is just a mass of bright red flesh, they will only immediately seek death.

No one can accept that what they have firmly and fanatically believed in all along is actually a massive scam.

Ye Lin raised his hand and devoured both the long-haired man with glasses and that mass of bright red flesh.

"Th... thank you..." The long-haired man with glasses revealed a smile of relief.

Realizing that the people of the City of God were beyond saving, Ye Lin felt a sense of relief instead; things... had suddenly become simple. Since they couldn't be saved, why couldn't they die by his hands?

If the enemy can go, I can go too!

After leaving the home of the long-haired man with glasses, Ye Lin arrived at a plaza.

A bonfire party was being held in the plaza, and countless living beings were singing and dancing around the bonfire, the atmosphere incredibly joyful.

In the City of God, you could even see a Bloodthirsty Dragon Beast and two humans holding hands and dancing; if this were in the outside world, it would absolutely be a wonder of the ages.

Ye Lin looked at the harmonious scene before him and revealed a kind and honest smile.

"I, Ye Lin, am kind by nature and upright in character; I have a heart of great love and compassion. I have always refrained from killing the old and the young, but here in your City of God, the old are not old and the young are not young—what am I to do? You are trying to put me in a position of being unbenevolent and unrighteous!"
