I'm mentally retarded, who asked me to join Rules Monster Talk?

Chapter 198 Good Crime

Even though he had already experienced it, the feeling of fainting, nausea, and guilt still made Clemens vomit.

Almost almost vomiting bile.

Xiao Yi felt that such a reaction was normal when encountering this kind of thing. At the same time, he also understood why Clemens reacted like that to opening the refrigerator.

Then, the things in front of Xiao Yi began to change rapidly, and Clemens' past memories began to play out quickly in front of his eyes.

Xiao Yi saw it.

After that, Clemens did not choose to escape again. Instead, after thinking about it, he decided to escape with the girl who no longer had her parents.

However, Clemens himself knew that there was no point in doing so. It was only a matter of time before the couple's disappearance was discovered, and it was only a matter of time before they were arrested, so he had no intention of actually escaping from the beginning.

Clemens seemed to think that the reason for all this happened was because of himself, and that the future life of the girl who ate her parents was ruined by him.

No matter what, eating her parents will stay with her for the rest of her life, and her life has undoubtedly been ruined.

So Clemens made a decision.

He taught the girl everything to say when asked, and then when the police came, he silently took on everything and became the ogre Clemens.

As long as he bears the guilt, the girl's life can continue. This is his atonement.

However, just when everything was developing as Clemens imagined, like a malicious joke of fate, something unexpected happened to Clemens.

During the questioning, the girl relied on the testimony that Clemens taught her and completely convicted Clemens. Everything was as Clemens expected.

However, the person who asked the question at that time said something that made the girl realize the meaning of what she did.

The man said: "Well, in this way, we will definitely convict the demon Clemens who killed your parents!"

It was these words that caused the girl to become confused and ask questions.

Then, naturally, she realized her mistake and the sacrifice Clemens had made.

So, she told the truth to the police, hoping to clear Clemens of the sins he was carrying.

But... the police ignored her testimony.

The reason is simple, because the public opinion situation this time no longer allows her to tell the truth.

Society is tired of seeing news about children committing suicide and killing their parents because of their parents' oppression. However, a young man who everyone praises as kind-hearted is actually a terrifying ogre in private. This is too new for society.

This matter quickly attracted attention from all walks of life from the beginning.

Righteous people from all walks of life have made comments criticizing Clemens, a hypocritical ogre, in order to attract attention.

In order to satisfy their own sense of justice, the spectators also denounced him.

Moreover, there is not only pressure from public opinion at the bottom, but also pressure from the top. This incident has triggered such a social phenomenon, and the higher-ups hope to end the matter as soon as possible and avoid further mishaps.

Almost everyone is looking forward to this just trial of the hypocrites.

Therefore, the outcome of this trial has been decided before it begins.

And the girl's testimony naturally fell into disrepair.

She was desperate. The only person in the world who was kind to her, the only person she could trust, could only end up like this. She could only despair.

Therefore, with nowhere to turn for help, she had no choice but to commit suicide and leave this world.

When Clemens learned about this, he was completely stunned as if his soul had been taken away.

All the efforts he had put in were meaningless. Not only that, he had also suffered a sin that was not his own and had to be judged.

This is a tragedy, no one can question it.

Who can bear this kind of thing?

Clemens, ever since, became expressionless.

Then, all the changing scenes stopped, and Xiao Yi and Clemens returned to the kitchen where they were originally.

Clemens' story ends here.

"..." Everything he saw was still clearly reflected in his heart, and Xiao Yi lost his mind slightly.

However, when he saw Clemens still kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yi also came back to his senses, stepped forward and patted his back, and asked: "Are you feeling better?" "Well... thank you very much. Clemens wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and stood up unsteadily.

After calming down for a while, Clemens continued:

"The situation at that time is as you can see. Then, when I was being escorted, it was like fate. There was a car accident and all the police officers responsible for escorting died, but I was still alive. , even unscathed. Then, as if I was guided, I came to this hotel."

Clemens looked at Xiao Yi again and continued:

"I have always felt that everything that happened in this hotel was arranged by fate and was a judgment on me. Therefore, I am here to explain my sins."

"Sin?" Xiao Yi was confused: "I don't think you have anything to blame."

"No." Clemens shook his head. "All my good intentions are just pretense. I am essentially a very selfish and disgusting person. This is... the crime of hypocrisy. Xiao Yi and you agree. Have you figured out what kind of person I am?"

"Why do you think so?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what you think in your heart, you helped her, this is an objective fact, right? There is a good saying, a gentleman criticizes his deeds but disregards his heart, you You should understand what it means, right?"

"I understand, but..." Clemens added: "The tragedy that happened to that child was undoubtedly caused by my hypocrisy. I helped her, but it caused her parents to get worse, and I later I turned a blind eye and allowed her misery to continue until it became a tragedy. I am the culprit."

"Alas..." Xiao Yi was speechless, "People are not obligated to help others. Your willingness to help her once is already a great achievement. There is no need to force yourself to help her all the time. Only those who receive corresponding wages have the obligation to do so. Do it. Morality is not used to restrain or force people, but to protect them."

"..."

Somehow, even though it was just a few simple words, the guilt in Clemens's heart melted away a lot.

No, before that, when he told Xiao Yi the secret in his heart, but Xiao Yi didn't show any disgust, he already felt the redemption.

In fact, Clemens always felt that Xiao Yi was the angel who came to save him and give him salvation.

However, he didn't say it. He was embarrassed to say it, let alone in front of him.

Therefore, when the thoughts in my heart came to my mouth, there was only one sentence.

"Thank you, Xiao Yi."

"Well, you're welcome, although I don't know what I did."

"But... I still can't escape my sins."

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi was stunned.

Clemens continued: "No matter what, I have a certain connection. I originally thought that since I could escape, it would be good to keep escaping, but as expected, I still don't want to continue evading. I want to apply for a retrial. Even if it’s just useless work, I still want to do it.”

Xiao Yi suddenly felt helpless and could only wave his hand, "It's up to you. This is your own decision and I have no right to interfere."

"……Thanks."

Although the corners of his mouth were just raised a little, Clemens did smile slightly.

And at this moment, the page in someone's hand disappeared.

This page does not belong to that person, and that person cannot stop it.

Then, the page returned to where it should have been, that is... in Xiao Yi's hands.

"...Huh? This is it?"

Xiao Yi felt a strange touch suddenly appear in his hand. He looked down and found that he was suddenly holding a book page in his hand again.

"Book page? Here it comes again... No, this is a book page that was stolen by an unknown species before!"

Xiao Yi picked it up and took a look and found that the content on it was very familiar to him!

【My life is always dark, therefore, I never expect to see the sun. I will help others just because I still want to live, so I also know very well that others help me just because they still want to live. 】

There is no new content, but Xiao Yi seems to be able to understand a little bit of the inexplicable content on the page now.

"Is there any problem with this? Helping others is for yourself, because others will also help you. It is not a unilateral contribution, but mutual help." Xiao Yi said softly.

"Xiao Yi, is it that page again? Do you think this has anything to do with what we will encounter here?

"Who knows, at least for now, we still can't see any connection." Xiao Yi still shook his head.

"..." Clemens also felt curious, and he came over to take a look.

The words above touched him deeply.

However, although Clemens was also interested in the pages in Xiao Yi's hand, he knew that there were more important things to do.

Clemens said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, I have something important to tell you. I seem to understand the reason why we gathered in this hotel and saw all kinds of wonderful scenes."
