Blue-Haired One: "They despised you for being poor, for having no money."

Blue-Haired One didn't know what kind of nerve the person wearing the Western plate armor in front of him had, wanting to talk about his past, to listen to his old stories.

To be honest, Blue-Haired One had absolutely no interest in listening to other people's stories. But because this body he currently occupied had been excessively drained by the first two alternate personalities, he was taking advantage of this opportunity to rest properly.

The Armored Man said: "No."

"Her parents and she herself knew my situation, so they never despised me for being poor. In the end, what they despised about me was still my father."

"I was very confused at the time. I don't live with my father. My father is locked up for life. Why would they despise my father?"

"Later, I finally found out the reason. It turns out it was because my father had done such a thing. Any children I might have with my girlfriend if we got married in the future would not be able to take the civil service exam, not even join the military, because they wouldn't pass the political background check."

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I also learned about this kind of thing through my girlfriend. I never knew before that a parent's crime could drag their children down to this extent."

"In the end, there was no other way. Just like the male and female protagonists in some romance dramas, even though we loved each other very, very much, I still broke up with my girlfriend in the end because of various reasons."

"Not long after the breakup, my girlfriend got married to a guy introduced by her parents, and soon had a child. And I was still alone."

"So, I hate my father. I never imagined that this person who ruined my childhood happiness and made my entire upbringing extremely painful would screw me over again on the matter of marriage, even though I hadn't seen him for a very, very, very long time."

"Thinking about it now, if it weren't for this reason, if I had married my girlfriend, I probably wouldn't have become the ghost I am now."

"If I had married my girlfriend, I should still be living like an ordinary person, walking on the right path."

"So, my father ruined everything for me."

Blue-Haired One: "Is that so? Then what about you afterwards? How was your life after that? You probably became the kind of person you hated most, your father. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, right?"

Blue-Haired One was still stalling for time, recovering.

The Armored Man nodded, his heavy armor making clanking and clattering sounds as it collided.

"Like other men and women who broke up because of love troubles, I fell into pain for a long time, into extreme pain."

"I stopped working, just smoked and drank in my rented room all day, getting myself completely drunk every day."

"I really wished I had drunk myself to death during that time, so I wouldn't have to live in this painful world anymore."

"Until one day, a woman in her thirties came to find me."

"She said she was my father's woman, and even showed photos and the like as proof. I didn't doubt it, because I always thought my father wasn't someone faithful in love, so it was normal for him to have other women outside before."

"I asked her, what did she come to find me for?"

"She said she was entrusted by my father to take care of me."

"I said I didn't need anyone to take care of me."

"Because when I needed it most as a child, they didn't come. What's the use of coming now?"

"Moreover, I hate my father, and I don't want to owe him any favors. It was him who messed up my life!!"

"But that woman was very patient."

"She saw I was in a bad mood and asked if something had happened."

"I ignored her. This woman was also a tough one. After that, no matter what I said, she just moved into my rented room and stayed for a long time."

"Until one day, this woman packed her luggage and wanted to take me away. I asked where to, she said to go make money."

"By that time, I had lived with this woman for so long, and we had already slept together. I have to say, I had developed feelings for her, even though she was once my father's woman."

"She and I went to a city in the neighboring province and met three other men. According to her introduction, these three men, and her, were all part of my father's gang back then. When the net fell, only my father was caught; they weren't arrested."

"They were very grateful to my father, because when my father was caught, he didn't rat them out, taking all the blame himself, very righteous. So they were willing to take me along."

"Later, I also understood what they meant by taking me to make money."

"It was stopping vehicles on the road and robbing them."

"Of course, they were all remote roads."

"They robbed cars traveling on these roads. I thought they were just after money. I never imagined they would actually kill the people too."

"After all, I was still a law-abiding ordinary person back then. Even though my father was a jailbird, I thought I wouldn't be like him. So I asked them at the time, if you're after money, just take the money, why kill people? Didn't they say they definitely wouldn't call the police?"

"I got this answer: They're lying. They will definitely call the police. So killing them is the safest. And we already have many lives on our hands. Killing one more or one less makes no difference, might as well kill them."

"I was very disgusted with them back then and wanted to leave. I wanted to take my father's woman, now my woman, and leave, even though she was over ten years older than me."

"But she wouldn't go. The reason was simple: If we don't do this line of work, how will we live outside? Work honestly? Earn a few thousand yuan a month?"

"She wouldn't leave, so I couldn't leave either. In the end, I succumbed to the woman's charms; she was too captivating."

"But afterwards, I still maintained my original principles. I only helped them with support tasks, not the killing. Out of respect for my father, they didn't give me a hard time and let me be."

"After that, I kept following them, watching them commit case after case."

"They were really cruel, even though they treated me quite well."

"When they stopped a vehicle to rob it, if the person in the car was a man, they'd squeeze out all value, then kill him directly."

"If it was a woman, they'd check if she was young or old, pretty or not."

"If she was old and faded, they'd kill her directly too. If she was somewhat good-looking, she'd be taken away, raped, and imprisoned. Until she was no longer needed, considered a burden, her final outcome would still be death."

"I don't remember how many vehicles they robbed, how many people they killed."

"But I do know their ending."

"I remember that day, the weather was nice. We were still waiting for prey on a relatively remote road."

"Finally, a car, after running over the nails and other things we scattered on the road, got a flat tire and stopped."
