"See that?"
"That's Yu Mo, the guy you trust."
"And he's still deceiving you, all for his so-called goals and ideals."
"Do you think..."
"He's still your friend?"
At some point, Old White Ape had brought Yu Sheng to Yu Mo's side, speaking with a soft laugh.
"This world is dark."
"Selfish and hypocritical!"
"Everyone uses lofty reasons to self-righteously do disgusting things."
"Do you still want to save this world?"
"Heh..."
Old White Ape laughed mockingly and brought Yu Sheng back to Deep Mountain.
"Your best friends, your classmates!!!"
"In the end, they'll all die here, because of Yu Mo!"
"Does it hurt?"
By now, the Demon Beasts had charged into Deep Mountain, and the once-solid defensive line was beginning to show signs of collapse.
Old White Ape whispered in Yu Sheng's ear, his words full of temptation.
Yu Sheng's eyes had somehow reddened, and his body trembled slightly. He struggled against the laws binding his body, trying to see Old White Ape's face. "Let... let me down..."
"Let them live... I'll... never kill... you again..."
For some reason, Yu Sheng, who had remained calm all this time, suddenly grew somewhat panicked.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Fear...
That should be called fear, right?
He was afraid...
He was afraid Zhao Zicheng would die before his eyes, afraid Lin Xiaoxiao would never show that innocent smile again. He was afraid...
At this moment, Yu Sheng was truly afraid.
So...
Once he became a real "human," he would feel fear.
Yet Old White Ape was still laughing.
Laughing maniacally.
"What did you say?"
"I can't hear you!"
"If I remember correctly, this... isn't how the Human Race asks someone for a favor!"
Old White Ape looked at Yu Sheng with amusement.
"Please..."
"Please, don't kill them..."
