This villain has become a ghost

Chapter 228 Sin

Nangong Wanqing stroked the sword in her hand and said, "...If you are willing to follow me, I will definitely promise you what you want."

Someone asked loudly:

"Aren't you loyal to the governor? How could you do such a thing?"

Although some people questioned it, more people shouted as if they had grabbed the last straw:

"I'm willing to follow you!"

"As long as you give me 'powder' and 'cigarettes', I am willing to follow you and rebel!"

The voices of the crowd were different and noisy.

Nangong Wanqing glanced at them, and said calmly with unquestionable majesty:

"Quiet."

She pointed to the packages scattered on the ground:

"To show my sincerity, if you are willing to follow me, I will distribute these things to you first."

Everyone stared at it like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, revealing a gleam of desire.

Under the light, the blood on Nangong Wanqing's white sleeves had already coagulated and changed color, which was particularly eye-catching. Her face was cold, and there was an inexplicable sense of solemnity.

She said calmly:

"Now, I'll count to three. If you're unwilling, stand up. I won't force you."

"three."

"two……"

"one."

silent.

After a long time, the boiling voices finally broke out.

"I am willing to defect with you!"

"Sir, please give it to me quickly, please, it's too painful..."

"I'm willing to follow you!"

"I'll do anything if you give it to me!"

"..."

In the dim light, those haggard faces were filled with madness and desire, as if at this moment, all conscience and loyalty were thrown out of the window, as if they were not human beings, but caged beasts.

Nangong Wanqing seemed to have expected this to happen.

She squatted down and distributed the drugs in the package to everyone one by one.

【Wanqing, you are crazy, what are you doing?! 】

Jingtan's voice was extremely hoarse.

...In fact, from the assassination to now, Jingtan's voice has been in her mind, and she has been calling for an unknown amount of time.

But she just ignored it.

At this time, Nangong Wanqing finally began to respond to him. The dead air in her eyes gradually spread. She forced a smile, but her voice was calm.

"I gave them a chance."

“But it’s their own choice.”

"But you heard it, too."

"They chose to betray, chose to kill Yue Liuyun, chose to collude with the Chiyu people to cause the fall of Wuzhou, chose to join their own enemies, and killed their own relatives..."

"Since I can convince them to do this, it will be even easier for the Chiyu people."

"What happened tonight is the best example."

"Today, I'm the one who got injured and became addicted to drugs. Tomorrow, it will be Yue Liuyun, Liu Mang, Feng Ning, and Pei Duo..."

…But it’s enough that this happened to her.

She must eliminate all hidden dangers.

and so……

Drugs include not only what they call "white powder" and "opium", but also anything that passes through her hands will contain a little bit of real "poison".

For example, Duanchangsan.

He died after taking it.

As long as they choose not to take it, follow Yue Liuyun's arrangements for them, and quit on their own, they can save their lives.

But no one chose that.

Jing Tan felt cold sweat on his back and said in a trembling voice:

Their crimes do not deserve death...

【Stop, Wanqing, stop! 】

Nangong Wanqing's voice was very faint:

"You're probably all good people."

"but I am not."

"I've killed too many people."

"There are a lot of corpses buried under the Princess's mansion. My hands are stained with blood. Countless wronged souls will come to me at night to claim my life, but I won't be afraid."

"Leave this dirty and cruel thing to me."

"I know that my sins are so grave that even gods and Buddhas cannot save me."

"But I don't regret it."

……

Nangong Wanqing's thin figure was shrouded in snow-white clothes. She raised the candlestick and glanced coldly at the people in each compartment.

The atmosphere was gloomy and the night was dark.

Each of them had deeply sunken eye sockets, resembling a skull at first glance. They greedily stuffed the meager amount of white powder into their mouths and noses, inhaling it frantically.

An expression of ecstasy and extreme satisfaction appeared on their originally restless faces, and they collapsed on the couch, immersed in the illusory and short-lived pleasure.

Weird and desolate.

In this unusual excitement and joy, someone's lips began to turn purple. The poison of the Broken Heart Powder was extremely toxic, and he lost his breath in an instant.

One after another……

The dead still had a satisfied smile on their faces, as if they were immersed in heaven.

Finally it turned into dead silence.

Jingtan couldn't bear to watch any longer.

His voice was bleak and sad:

[Wanqing, I really can't persuade you. Everything I've done is really useless...]

【sorry……】

[This is all my fault...]

[I am too incompetent...]

Nangong Wanqing remained silent.

How can all this tragedy be blamed on him?

Nangong Wanqing was like a walking corpse, watching everyone take all the drugs one by one and then die.

Nangong Wanqing murmured:

"Ah Tan, do you think there will be an afterlife?"

Jing Tan thought she was talking about these people and replied in a low voice:

[Eight hundred reincarnations, three thousand worlds.]

【It will definitely happen. 】

Nangong Wanqing nodded, and then finally smiled sincerely:

"That's good."

Unexpectedly, the next second, Nangong Wanqing lit the tinder and threw it onto one of the straw mats along with the candlestick in her hand.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, he used his scabbard to knock over all the candlesticks used for lighting.

It was early summer and there had been no rain for some time, so the fire quickly grew stronger.

Jingtan: [!!!]

Before he could say anything, Nangong Wanqing dropped her knife, took out the Heartbreak Powder hidden in her sleeve, and swallowed the remaining medicine.

【Wanqing!!! No!!!】

Jingtan seemed to be going crazy, and the sound was resonating in her mind.

[No, wait a moment. I'll have someone teleport you to me. Even if it's Heartbreak Powder, someone will be able to rescue you...]

[Wait for me, just a moment...]

Nangong Wanqing immediately stopped him.

"Don't leave, stay with me... and talk..."

"I beg you……"

She found a corner, changed to a more comfortable position and lay down, feeling the poison slowly entering her lungs, and said helplessly:

"...You seem to always be against me."

"From the first time I saw you, you were rebellious and kept yelling at me to come back."

"And now, I no longer have any hope of survival. I just want to be free."

"You wanted to save me."
