This girl is a streetwalker in the demon world

"That's because the entire Jiangning is already under its control, including its designer, that is, you, right?"

An Ling pointed out the most critical issue sharply, leaving Li Mo speechless.

Now the prototype of "Desire Realm Red Dust" has long turned into a pile of scrap metal, and the fragments of "Desire Realm Lihen Changshengtian" that maintain its magical properties have also been shattered by An Ling and fell into the void.

"Now that the thing is gone, you can think back to what has happened since you got it."

Hearing An Ling say this, Li Mo suddenly recalled what he had done in the past and was stunned.

It seemed that he had never thought about this matter since the completion of "Desire Realm Red Dust". When preparing for construction, he had discussed with Zheng Boshan, the president of the Academy of Sciences, and other scholars of the School of Sciences about how to avoid being affected by debris.

"We had made all the necessary preparations at that time. We designed countless formations to prevent the power from leaking out. The machine that carried the fragments also used meteorites collected by the academy over the past thousand years. After calculations, we were definitely able to control it... It seems that we can't defeat the way of heaven after all..." Li Mo was silent for a moment and said slowly.

An Ling also sighed. She finally understood why Zheng Boshan was so obsessed. The fragments of "Desire Realm, Lihen, and Eternal Heaven" could bring out the greed hidden deep in the human heart to the greatest extent. Even if Shanhai Academy tried its best to weaken its influence, greed would gradually accumulate over time, allowing the greedy evil spirit in everyone's heart to grow slowly, and finally, control their reason and consciousness, making them do things that they themselves could not even believe.

An Ling comforted him, "But you had already realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop the disaster."

Li Mo shook his head. "How do you know if my idea of ​​'stopping disasters' was induced by the fragment of Heaven's Dao? How do you prove that I am still the same person as before? It is also possible that I have been confused since the day I got the fragment."

An Ling opened her mouth. She felt that Li Mo seemed to be stuck in some obsession. In the beginning, he believed in his research without a doubt, but now, he kept denying and doubting himself. She even began to think that everything he did was caused by the fragments.

"Heavenly Law... Haha, I have studied the laws of the world for half my life. I once thought that I could master all the laws and make nature submit to my calculations. I never thought that a mortal would never be able to reach the realm of 'God' even if he spent his whole life!"

As An Ling listened, she felt something was not right. The headmaster was too pessimistic. He would not want...

An Ling quickly stopped him from talking, "Master, please don't think like that. We all live in this world. Things like the Way of Heaven and gods have nothing to do with us. There's no need to attribute something indescribable to your own fault."

"But little An Ling," Li Mo's cloudy eyes were filled with sadness, "Do you know how long it took to build 'Desire World Red Dust'? I have been studying it for twelve years. Now let's calculate, it's a total of 4,621 days."

"At that time, I was still full of enthusiasm and thought that as a mortal, I would directly challenge the realm of God."

"I want to be the first mortal to control 'God'."

"But, it turns out that my thoughts were all triggered by the fragments of the Heavenly Dao."

"Tell me, isn't my life ridiculous? I put in so much effort, and in the end, this is the result I got."

They were both silent at the same time. The breeze blew the hanging bamboo curtains, sometimes quietly and sometimes vigorously. The sunlight flowed out from the gaps, changing its shape.

An Ling clenched and unclenched her fists several times, and finally clenched them firmly. She raised her head and looked at Li Mo with bright eyes. Li Mo didn't even dare to look directly at this young man. "But Master, you still have me. I have already chopped off two fragments of the Heavenly Dao! I am the best proof that man can conquer nature!"

"The first time I encountered a fragment of the Heavenly Dao was in Tianxing Prefecture. The fragment was called 'Colorless and Tasteless Xumi Heaven' and was in the hands of a Fusang magician. She used the fragment to destroy the minds of many humans and monsters and put them into the fragment for her use. I was once caught in the fragment by her. Even so, after going through a lot of things, I still successfully destroyed it."

"The second time was the 'Desire Realm, Separation, and Eternal Heaven' here. It couldn't affect my mind, so I was able to successfully approach Ouyang Qian, who had the fragment, and get the fragment from her. Later, it was..."

An Ling couldn't help but stop talking here. Li Mo was listening intently and asked quickly, "What happened next?"

An Ling smiled, hiding her emotions, "Later, it was snatched away by Lin Du, also known as Lin Yuzhou. In order to stick to his principles, he swallowed the remaining fragments in front of me."

When Li Mo heard the name "Lin Yuzhou", his eyebrows trembled a few times and his mouth opened and closed several times. In the end, he did not speak and continued to listen to An Ling's story quietly.

"He...he failed. The power of the fragments was too strong. He didn't hold on for long before he began to disintegrate. He begged me to kill him."

"So you killed him?" Li Mo was completely shocked and stood up from the couch tremblingly.

"Yes." An Ling answered, "I stabbed the sword into his stomach and crushed his internal organs and the debris inside." Her expression became extremely gloomy, as if she was lost in some kind of memory. "I stabbed it in easily, I rotated the sword to crush him, then pulled it out and crushed it again..."

There was something wrong with An Ling. She stared at the table and woodenly described the process of her torture and killing. Li Mo got goosebumps when he heard it.

Li Mo took out a jade pen and wrote an article in the air that could help people stay calm. He then slapped it on An Ling, causing her whole body to tremble.

Li Mo sat down again. "This must be your first time to kill someone, and you killed him so cruelly. It seems that this experience is hard for you to forget. Take a deep breath and stop thinking about that scene. Imagine the lake outside the academy. There is a small pavilion on it. You are sitting in it now, feeling the breeze from the river."

After Li Mo's treatment, An Ling felt much better. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and smiled apologetically at Li Mo, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"This is actually all my fault," Li Mo poured a cup of tea for An Ling. "Yuzhou is a student I think highly of, and he is extremely talented, so I told him about this, and he insisted on going with me. Alas..."

When talking about his most promising student, Li Mo seemed to have aged a few years, and looked lifeless.

"He... When did he come to the academy?" An Ling knew that Lin Du's real identity was actually the future leader of the Tianqiong Sect. It seemed that he had been lurking in the academy for a while, wanting to obtain the fragments through Li Mo's relationship!

"It seems like, in recent years, he said he was a failed candidate and wanted to come to the academy to study for a while."

Just then, a waiter knocked on the door and said, "Headmaster, someone outside wants to see Miss An."
