"Turn me into a weapon? Fine!"
Jing Tian agreed without hesitation.
"It's just making a statue. Does it really require such a huge sacrifice?" Mo Ling hurriedly tried to stop them.
"This is darkness's instruction," Jing Tian said indifferently.
"This isn't..." Mo Ling immediately retorted.
"If it isn't, then how did you know a statue was needed here?"
"..."
Listening to Jing Tian, Mo Ling knew the misunderstanding could not be cleared up. He regretted so easily telling him about the statue.
"This statue might not even do anything. How about we don't carve it? Or we find another way... Han Qi, you must have a solution, right?"
Mo Ling turned to Han Qi for help.
"I do, but I don't have a suitable weapon right now." Han Qi helplessly spread his hands. There was nothing he could do, either.
"Stop hesitating. What are you still thinking about? Darkness has already laid out the steps for us..." Jing Tian urged from the side.
"The two of you were guided here by darkness. One of you was responsible for bringing the damaged weapon and determining the statue's location and form, while the other was responsible for roughly shaping it."
"And what we need to do next is have Dai Zi turn me into a weapon. Then you will use that weapon to complete the final carving..."
"Every ant has its purpose! The route has been laid out crystal clear. We only need to follow it step by step. What else is there to think about?"
"One, two, three, four... four ants."
"It was all arranged by darkness. We just need to fulfill our roles and think about nothing else. Once this statue is finished, perhaps our mission will be complete."
"Wouldn't that be good?"
"But you'll become a weapon..." Mo Ling
