Chapter 24: The Evil Merits and Virtues

  Thank you book friend "Old like pine and cypress" for your reward support! Your little reward is my motivation of ten million points, thank you very much!

  Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he had an intense premonition that Knife Brother was definitely scared to death. He leaned in closer, and under the light, he saw clearly that Knife Brother's face was pale green, his eyes were wide open, and his gaze had lost all its color.

  After a brief moment, a policeman probed Knife Brother's neck and wrist as well as his nostrils, looked up at the other several policemen, and said in a low voice: "He... is already dead."

  This final result was unexpected by Ye Feng. His original intention was not to let him die, but unexpectedly he was scared to death.

  Is the power of elementary Soul Capture Technique so great? If it's really like this, will Ye Feng dare to easily use Soul Capture Technique on others in the future?

  Fortunately, a sentence spoken by an old ghost who had a good relationship with Knife Brother at ordinary times made Ye Feng's heart balance quickly again.

  The old man said to a policeman: "Officer Wang, actually... I knew that Knife Brother had heart disease and had surgery last year."

  The police officer was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief and said to the other officers: "I thought so, let's take a look at his file again. If he really had heart disease, then his sudden death would make sense."

  Ye Feng actually felt a sense of relief in his heart. Knife Brother's death didn't make him feel particularly guilty, and he even thought that it was better for someone like him to be dead than alive. Ye Feng had previously felt uneasy because he hadn't expected that the first time he used Soul Capture Technique would indirectly kill someone. Others might not know, but Ye Feng himself was very clear: Knife Brother's death was at least half due to his use of Soul Capture Technique on him.

  But since he had heart disease, the cause of his death should be that he was startled and died suddenly after a heart attack, although the reason is still because of the soul-capturing technique, but Ye Feng thinks that his responsibility is not so great.

  This is actually a balance that Ye Feng found for himself. The first time he killed someone, although it was indirect and unintentional, but in the end, someone still died.

  Just as Ye Feng's mind was complicated, a "ding" sound rang out in his consciousness, this prompt tone was similar to the last spatial law prompt that he could log on to the second layer, only the voice was not so crisp.

  Right after that, a thick but voiceless sound echoed in Ye Feng's mind: "Congratulations to the space owner, successfully obtained 5 points of evil value and 10 points of merit value."

  Ye Feng stood stunned in the chaotic cell, his heart filled with shock and joy. He hadn't expected to suddenly gain evil points and merit points under these circumstances, especially since the merit points had reached as high as 10 points.

  The most crucial thing is that the 5 points of evil value and 10 points of merit value added together, converted into soul value, are equal to 150 points of soul value. Just in this instant, Ye Feng obtained the soul value that might have taken him ten or more days to obtain before.

  Ye Feng immediately raised a question to Fa Ze: "Fa Ze, why did I suddenly obtain evil value and merit value? How are these two values obtained?"

  "The space owner eliminated a person in the real world, but because this person was suffering from a stubborn illness and not directly killed by the space owner, they could only gain 5 points of evil value. The person eliminated by the space owner was an evil person, so after eliminating him, many people would feel grateful, thus gaining 10 points of merit value."

  Ye Feng was still a bit unclear, although the timing of the airport didn't match, Ye Feng couldn't help but continue to ask Fa Ze: "How many evil points can be obtained by killing one person? If I kill not an evil person, but a good person, will I still get evil points? How is the merit value calculated specifically, what are the calculation standards?"

  Ye Feng is now really eager to know how this is calculated, because only now has he finally realized that the value of merit and evil is much more efficient than his hard work in collecting soul values. Ye Feng's mentality is like a person who only knows that eating mantou is good, but one day eats a meat bun with a better taste, and only then realizes that the flavor of the meat bun is far better than the mantou.

  "The law in Ye Feng's consciousness replied: 'Killing an evil person can earn 10 points of evil value, killing a great evil person can earn 100 points of evil value, and killing an extremely evil person can earn 1,000 points of merit value. These are just for ordinary people. If the space master kills a cultivator of similar level, they can earn 10 times more. However, if the space master kills a good person, their evil value will be deducted, with the deduction amount depending on how good that person was. The standard for earning merit value depends on the size and scope of the good deeds done by the space master, as well as the number of people affected and the gratitude received. The more extensive the impact, the more people involved, and the more gratitude received, the more merit value will be earned. This amount cannot be calculated precisely, and the law will make a judgment based on specific circumstances.'"

  The explanation of the law was a bit more detailed than before, but Ye Feng still had many doubts in his heart. However, the situation in reality no longer allowed Ye Feng to stand here and ask questions to the law, so he temporarily severed his connection with the law.

  Dage's body was taken away by the police, and then the police returned to conduct some overnight investigations, but the bizarre nature of the facts made the police unable to continue questioning halfway through.

  Dage said he saw a ghost, shouting the name of the deceased Wang Hailong nonstop, and kept saying don't kill him, harm him, take him away. Such a strange and mysterious thing makes it hard for the police to believe, but the fact is that more than 20 people in the entire cell are all saying this, and there is also surveillance at the entrance of the cell, even if you can't see the picture clearly, at least you can still hear the sound.

  So, no one in the monitoring room would or dare to collectively fabricate such a strange and absurd lie.

  Everyone didn't get back to their beds until midnight after a lot of trouble.

  Ye Feng, however, was wide awake at this moment.

  The death of Knife Brother would no longer stir up any ripples in Ye Feng's emotions, as all his thoughts were now focused on his Virtue and Evil values.

  Lying back on the bed, Ye Feng's consciousness eagerly entered the space, continuing to seek explanations and answers from the law.

  After communicating with Fazhen for nearly half an hour, Ye Feng finally clarified the calculation standards and acquisition methods of merit and evil values.

  Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh again at the unparalleled great power of Tian Yuan Zhen Xian. The rules and laws he created with one hand were like a self-contained world, transcending all else. Such a powerful True Immortal had fallen, and was even killed by other immortals working together. It's imaginable how cruel and formidable the cultivation world is.

  Cultivating to become an immortal is still far from the end, the path of cultivation has no boundaries and no end. Even if one becomes a powerful and mighty Tianyuan True Immortal, it's not like they can fall just because someone says so.

  Evil value, called evil, is actually not evil. The true meaning should be to wipe out the truly evil people.

  To gain evil points, there is only one way, that is to kill the wicked, the more evil they are, the wider their influence, the more evil points you will get.

  On the other hand, if a good person is killed, the corresponding evil value will be deducted.

  As for the definition and judgment of good people and bad people, the law only gave Ye Feng one principle, which is to judge according to the established rules and standards of the real world where Ye Feng lives. After all, this is not the Tianlong Cultivation World, on the planet Tianlong, cultivators killing people and stealing treasures are common things, and they are not considered bad people, but in Hua Country, usually, those who have killed people are usually bad people.

  There are many ways to gain merit points. From small acts like helping an elderly lady cross the road, to big acts like being a philanthropist who donates thousands of dollars, all can accumulate merit points. Even after killing an evil person, one will correspondingly obtain merit points. In a way, it's not difficult for Ye Feng to gain merit points.

  For example, if Ye Feng works on a construction site and helps other workers with their tasks in addition to his own work, he can accumulate merit points from their gratitude.

  For example, Ye Feng helps an old lady cross the road every day. Even if he only gets a little merit value for helping ten times, but after doing it many times and accumulating over time, he can still gain a considerable amount of merit value.

  In short, the key to gaining merit lies in earning people's gratitude, thanks and appreciation.
