An Honest Corporate Slave Even Inner Demons Disdained

Di Tian noticed Lin Mo's hesitation and explained, "Relax. You are blessed by the Heavenly Dao and protected by auspicious energy. Moreover, according to bloodline, you are the ancestor of this Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow."

"It won't resist; just let it absorb."

Lin Mo nodded, pondering where to begin, when he saw the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow move closer and rest its head on his palm.

Immediately afterwards, the life force of Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow began to rapidly ebb away, and it slowly closed its gray-white eyes.

"Buzz--"

A dark purple Soul Ring emerged from its body.

Black energy swirled around the Soul Ring, exuding a chilling aura, yet within that aura lay an indescribable tranquility; as if this Soul Beast was not perishing, but returning.

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately sat cross-legged in front of Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow and slowly drew the purple Soul Ring towards him, gradually integrating it into his body.

The instant the Soul Ring entered the body--

"Splash~"

He felt an extremely cold and malevolent aura surge into his body like a flood bursting its banks.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo's consciousness began to drift uncontrollably, as if countless illusions were crawling out from the depths of his memory.

Seeing this, Di Tian and Bi Ji were not surprised at all.

The two men stood guard on either side of Lin Mo, their eyes fixed on him.

Although the Mystic Baleful Scorching Crow did not resist, after its death, the evil energy within its body became uncontrollable and would surge into Lin Mo's body along with the Soul Ring.

When malevolent energy enters the body, inner demons begin to grow.

Next, Lin Mo will face the most dangerous hurdle in absorbing the Soul Ring.

The Illusion of Inner Demons!

Once one's mindset becomes unstable, one is very likely to suffer a backlash.

Although the Mystic Bird was protected by the Heavenly Dao, making the chance of a backlash extremely small, Bi Ji was still on high alert.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

At this moment, Lin Mo was completely oblivious to everything around him. His consciousness was being dragged down by that malevolent energy, plummeting into a bottomless darkness.

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, he had already fallen into a state of chaos.

From that chaos, distorted, familiar faces slowly emerged—

The first thing to strike was the memory of Blue Star.

"Look at other kids, they got into Tsinghua University Peking University! And you? You only got into a lousy second-tier university, that's all you'll amount to in your life!"

"How many times have I told you? The boss hasn't left yet, how dare you go home? The boss is working so hard, how can you, as an employee, have the nerve to do that? We're all working overtime until 11 PM tonight, we absolutely must let the client see our dedication!"

"What? You don't even have a house or a car, and you dare to go on a blind date? What a waste of my time!"

The ridicule from relatives, the exploitation from the boss, the disdain from blind dates... countless real and chilling scenes exploded before Lin Mo's eyes like a revolving lantern.

Then, the scene shifts.

The second life, Douluo Continent.

The sky was blood red.

The Holy Spirit Church was a scene of carnage and bloodshed, a veritable hell on earth.

And above this purgatory:

"Damn it, why did she reject me? Why! Resources, wealth, power—what haven't I given her? What's so great about that white-haired brat? He's thirty and hasn't even reached the Soul Ancestor!"

"I'm sorry, I've always loved you, and *** is your child too."

If there is an afterlife, we will still be together.

"No! You can't die!"

"Where's the doctor? Heal her! If she dies, I'll make you all pay with your lives!!"

The scene shifts again, this time to the Sun Moon Empire.

The only emperor who had ever protected him, Emperor Xu Tianwan, was now coldly looking down at him.

Lin Mo.

Her voice was as cold as ice. "Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a pawn in my hands. Don't think too highly of yourself."

"I can rescue you, or I can throw you back into that hell at any time."

Images like these constantly surrounded Lin Mo, attempting to break his spirit and drive him mad and corrupted him.

However, to the surprise of the inner demons--

Lin Mo remained expressionless throughout. He stood there quietly, pulling out a handful of popcorn from somewhere and eating it, as if he were watching a movie, as if the scene before him had nothing to do with him.

Inner Demon: "???"

no?

How can this guy's composure be so stable after going through so many tragic things?!

"Why?"

The inner demon could no longer contain itself. It emerged from the darkness and demanded incredulously in a shrill voice, "With so much despair and resentment in your heart, why is your state of mind completely unaffected?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo simply shrugged:

"Maybe it's because I've experienced so much; to put it nicely, I've gotten used to it; to put it bluntly, I've become numb."

Inner Demon: "... Huh?"

Lin Mo continued nonchalantly, "Besides, even if I hate them and want to kill them, what good will it do? Please, Blue Star Huaxia is a society governed by law. Murder is a crime, and you'll end up in jail working on a sewing machine."

"This Douluo Continent is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and where 'physics' are paramount."

"Do you think it's easy to find a job in Huaxia? And in the Douluo Continent, I can't beat those people, and those I can beat are all kind-hearted people from the lower classes."

Even if I hate them to death, what can I do?

"I have no other choice."

Inner Demon: "..."

Lin Mo seemed to have finally found someone to vent to, and he got more and more excited as he talked. "Besides, I'm just an animal, and I'm already exhausted from going to work and struggling to survive every day."

"As soon as things are over, I basically collapse into bed and go to sleep."

"Where would we find the time to waste on hatred and internal strife?"

"Every day I can live is a day I'll cherish."

"Even in this third life, it's the same." Lin Mo shrugged. "You can't kill people at the Shrek Academy, and Huo Yuhao has luck protecting him; I can't afford to offend him."

"If I want to avoid him, I have to leave Shrek. If Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master at the Shrek Academy, I'll be killed the moment I show my face; but if I'm outside the Shrek Academy, I'll be killed the moment I show my face."

"The Dou Ling Empire is weak, the Star Luo Empire is busy preparing for war, the Heaven Dou Empire is too far away, and the Sun Moon Empire is practically in cahoots with the Holy Spirit Church."

"Tell me, where can I run to?"

"It's better to stay at Shrek; at least our safety is guaranteed."

"Besides, I was originally just a pawn in Xu Tianwan's game. She protected me, and I worked for her."

"As a person, you should at least have some self-awareness."

Lin Mo put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of lecturing, successfully silencing his inner demon.

a long time.

The inner demon slowly raised its thumb, formed from black mist:

"You're awesome."

After saying that, the demon's form began to dissipate inch by inch.

Before it dissipated, it even left behind a few resentful muttered words:

"I'll never hire any corporate slaves again."

"These people are complete pushovers; punching them is like hitting cotton. They won't feel any satisfaction, they'll just laugh in exasperation."

"Grass."

As soon as he finished speaking, the inner demon vanished completely.

In reality, the dark purple Soul Ring had already been stably and completely integrated into Lin Mo's body.

The third Soul Ring is complete.
