"My God, a comeback from near-death!"
In the commentary booth, Li Jiu exclaimed, " Exalted Emperor Ukyo Tachibana, with a sliver of health, pulled off a comeback against Yazi Lu Bu, securing the first blood of the match!"
" Exalted Emperor's operation was calm and bold!" Pingzi couldn't help but exclaim, "He skillfully dodged Lu Bu's Flash with a subtle Flash, and then used his passive skill to finish off Lu Bu!"
"Not a single action was in vain!" Huahai praised generously, "Every action was aimed at killing Lu Bu."
The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were in a frenzy.
"As expected of the Exalted Emperor, who bears the title of First Blood Emperor!"
"Is Exalted Emperor a robot devoid of emotion? If it were me, I would have panicked long ago if Lu Bu had brought me to a sliver of health. He not only calmly cleared the lane but also managed to secure a solo kill. It's just ridiculous!"
" Yazi suffered because of the unpopular hero. If he had even a basic understanding of Ukyo Tachibana's skill mechanics, he wouldn't have been solo-killed!"
"Are there any skilled Ukyo Tachibana players here? Exalted Emperor's play was amazing, what score would you give him?"
"I'm not a pro player of Ukyo Tachibana (a popular Chinese game platform), but I still want to offer my opinion. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, I honestly don't know how to evaluate it, just as I said at the beginning, I'm not a pro player of Ukyo Tachibana."
There isn't Ukyo Tachibana online! The only one who left the scene nine years ago seems to be Shura, the captain of the Hyakki Hundred Demons ) team!
" Exalted Emperor Youjing, if ten is a perfect score, how would you rate Ukyo Tachibana's solo kill?"
"In the VIP viewing room on the second floor," the Great Tengu asked curiously.
Yugong Youjing sat cross-legged on the sofa, cradling a dark green bamboo sword, his eyes glued to the live television broadcast. He said, "3 points."
"3 points?"
Great Tengu frowned and said, "Is the evaluation really that low?"
" Ukyo Tachibana was a swordsman, the epitome of the samurai spirit, embodying loyalty, courage, honor, righteousness, and self-discipline. However, he killed countless people and was burdened with sins. No matter how beautiful the words used to describe him, this remains the truth."
Yugong Youjing stared intently and said, "Therefore, Ukyo Tachibana is an evil being. To play Ukyo Tachibana well, you yourself must be a heinous criminal!"
The Great Tengu was completely stunned.
Does playing Ukyo Tachibana well require being a villain? According to this logic, to play Cao Cao well, one must actually have a penchant for married women?
"The oppressive aura of Exalted Emperor Ukyo Tachibana may seem extremely evil, but in reality, it's nothing more than using justice to portray evil," Yugong Youjing sneered. "Ultimately, Exalted Emperor isn't a villain in reality, but rather someone who claims to be righteous!"
Great Tengu was slightly taken aback. "You call yourself righteous?"
"Those who claim to be righteous often commit many unjust acts!" Yugong Youjing made no attempt to hide his disdain. "These kinds of people are actually hypocrites with virtuous appearances, far more unforgivable than truly wicked villains!"
The Great Tengu couldn't help but say, "Lord Youjing, according to your logic, there are no righteous people in the world."
Yugong Youjing hugged the bamboo sword tightly, his face full of admiration, and said, " Captain of the Imperial Crown Imperial Emperor is a man of justice."
" Imperial Emperor?"
Yugong Youjing nodded, his eyes filled with respect, and said, "His Majesty the Imperial Emperor... oh no, the Imperial Emperor is pure justice!"
Yugong Youjing spoke faster, "The biggest difference between him and those who claim to be righteous lies in their understanding of doing evil!"
Yugong Youjing got more and more excited as she spoke, "A self-proclaimed righteous person [crushing an ant] will try to justify herself when caught, saying, 'I didn't do anything bad, it was an Kokoronashi, I'm actually a very righteous person!'"
"And the Imperial Emperor would say—"
"Say what?"
" The Imperial Emperor would say, 'That's fun.'"
"Fun?"
Great Tengu astonished. His mind was a bit of a mess. How could the Imperial Emperor described by Yugong Youjing be so vastly different from the captain Imperial Emperor he remembered?
Are you sure the Imperial Emperor is a righteous man, and not an evil one?
"You must understand," Yugong Youjing said with a smirk, "Evil taken to its extreme is justice, and justice taken to its extreme is evil! The Imperial Emperor and the Shura are, in themselves, the opposites of justice and evil!"
"So!"
" Exalted Emperor is a self-proclaimed righteous man!"
" The Imperial Emperor is the only righteous one!"
"How about it?"
The Sovereign Dominion Stadium.
Su Hang said with a smile in his eyes, "Does my solo kill on Lu Bu qualify me to be compared to Shura Ukyo Tachibana?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Huyan Lan finally spoke, asking, "Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"
"That's the truth, of course."
Everyone asked in unison, "Are you Shura, the captain of the Hundred Demons?"
Uh~
Su Hang, his face darkening, said, "I've said it so many times, no, no, who am I? I could never be that Shura!"
"Damn it, Brother Su, you really scared me!" Hu Xiao said, still shaken. "The evil feeling you had when you played Ukyo Tachibana just now was exactly the same as when I faced Shura!"
"I almost screamed!" Yin Long wiped the sweat from his brow. "I even suspected that the teammate sitting next to me was Shura. That extremely evil and oppressive aura was a complete replica of Shura!"
"Actually, I've never been good at playing Ukyo Tachibana because the hero's prototype is a Japan swordsman, a ruthless executioner who has killed countless people; his true nature is that of a heinous criminal."
Su Hang shrugged and said, "I've never killed anyone in real life, I'm not a heinous criminal, so I can't deeply empathize with Ukyo Tachibana."
Huyan Lan asked, puzzled, "Then how will you play?"
Su Hang recounted, "I thought about this for a long time. Later, in junior high school Chinese class, when we were studying the Analects, the line '[Do not refrain from doing good because it is small, nor do evil because it is small]' inspired me!"
What inspiration did you draw?
Su Hang smiled and said, "I am the inspiration of a heinous criminal!"
"Ah?"
"When I was three or four years old, I was very naughty. If I saw an ant crawling on my clothes, I would grab it and kill it without hesitation. When my mother asked me why I killed the ant, I said it was fun."
Su Hang said casually, "I haven't killed anyone, but I have taken living things. As long as you firmly believe that crushing an ant is an evil act, then you are a sinner!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Su Hang pondered for a moment and said, "When I play Ukyo Tachibana again, I recall the killings I committed as a child, all sorts of small evils accumulated, and I firmly believe that I am a heinous criminal. It's easy to deeply immerse myself in Ukyo Tachibana."
Yin Long extrapolated, "The reason why the Hundred Demons Captain Shura can play Ukyo Tachibana so skillfully is because he can deeply immerse himself in Ukyo Tachibana?"
Su Hang nodded. "That's right."
"So, does Shura also identify with Ukyo Tachibana in the same way you do? Recalling his past acts of killing and convinced himself that he is a heinous criminal!"
Su Hang shook his head and said, "No!"
"No?"
Yin Long asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Su Hang's eyes flickered as he said, "Although I don't know what profession Shura actually does, he is a heinous criminal."
"His crimes were heinous?"
Everyone was completely confused.
Su Hang narrowed his eyes slightly. "I subtly hypnotize myself into believing I'm a heinous criminal by recalling all the petty evils I committed as a child, while Shura doesn't need to recall or be hypnotized. In other words..."
Su Hang's next words sent chills down everyone's spines!
