He only cared about whether he could survive.

So the old monk whispered to him, asking him to go to the donor's dormitory first and find a monk to pick him up.

Then, under the guidance of the monk, they left the temple through a secret passage and went out to find Boss Long. He agreed without hesitation.

While the two were talking, a monk standing not far behind the old monk secretly took out his cell phone and started sending messages to people.

At the same time, with the help of the paper man army, Officer Liu has transferred all the trapped people on the fourth floor to a relatively safe area in the back mountain.

The ink-stained man's cold and malicious voice came from outside from time to time.

Every time that sound rang out, it meant dozens of deaths and dozens of people fell.

As time goes by, the death toll is still increasing rapidly.

The trapped people had been evacuated, and the cries had ceased in the donor dormitory. The noisiest paper figures were temporarily gone, and the fourth floor was quiet.

Chen Yanli sat cross-legged on the ground and taught Lu Yuanyou how to use the yellow talisman.

Different yellow talismans are paired with different incantations, and when acting collectively, these talismans are Lu Yuanyou's means of saving his life.

Under the pale light, the short-haired woman lowered her head, pinching the talisman paper and practicing softly back and forth.

The more she practiced, the softer her voice became and the more rapid her breathing became.

Chen Yanli frowned and patted her shoulder, trying to make her take it more seriously.

This casual shot was like turning on a switch.

The chanting stopped abruptly, Lu Yuanyou clenched his teeth, and tears kept falling.

Yu Tong, who was lying on the ground studying the plan, and Chen Yanli, who was sitting opposite the woman, were both stunned by her reaction.

Chen Yanli had never comforted anyone before, nor did he understand why she was like this.

He frowned and handed over the phone. "You only have a few minutes to practice. If you can't use it by then, going to the fifth floor will be a death sentence."

Lu Yuanyou took a deep breath and said, "I understand, thank you. I just heard what that fake Dahe Guangming said again and couldn't help it for a moment."

"There were so many people, I couldn't count the victims... I couldn't help myself. Sorry, but don't worry, I've been on the battlefield before, so I won't cause any trouble."

She picked up the yellow talisman again, gestured and explained softly.

"Actually, Xiao Liu and I were a little exhausted just now. Xiao Liu hid in the corridor, smoking and crying, and I couldn't comfort him. We both know that crying is useless, but when I think about..."

The Ink Man's cold voice sounded again, and this time he set a new goal.

Lu Yuanyou paused for a moment, then began to sob uncontrollably. "So many people were killed in such a close place. And I couldn't do anything, couldn't help at all. I could only listen to them die one by one... It hurts me just thinking about it."

"Xiao Liu and I are still inexperienced. When provoked, we get emotional and lose our composure. Luckily, we have Master Fachen here. People who study Buddhism have a different mindset. If you hadn't stopped us and suggested another way to resolve this matter, we would have rushed over and died."

Lu Yuanyou wiped away his tears, raised his head and gave Chen Yanli a pale smile.

"You're calmer than a veteran on the battlefield. No matter what's happening outside, you don't seem to be affected at all. People like you who can hold their own in the team are very reassuring."

"But don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you feel too depressed, it's okay to cry secretly for a while. Just let it go."

Seeing that Monk Fachen still had no expression, Lu Yuanyou said nothing more. He plugged his ears with cotton and continued walking around to practice.

Chen Yanli sat there in a daze, his expression gradually becoming confused.

Lu Yuanyou’s words were still lingering in his mind.

They all thought he didn't react because he was calm enough. They all thought he didn't cry because he was trying hard not to shed tears.

His body began to feel hot, and a feeling of shame and helplessness that arose from nowhere quickly spread in Chen Yanli's heart.

He had never seen those people before and was not familiar with them. Why should he be sad about the death of strangers?

Besides, what's the point of being sad? Crying your eyes out won't save anyone. It's better to focus on thinking about how to kill the real Dahe Guangming.

The Ink Man's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Fifty, sixty, seventy, one hundred...

At this moment, the cold numbers suddenly became warm.

The male voice that he had selectively blocked out suddenly became harsh for unknown reasons.

In a trance, Chen Yanli suddenly realized clearly that hundreds of lives had completely disappeared in just a few minutes.

He stood up with a cold face and paced back and forth in the corridor. Lu Yuanyou asked him what was wrong, but he did not answer.

The system probe observed the movement outside, [What is the villain doing? ]

Yu Tong pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, with an expression very similar to Chen Yanli's on her face.

【What's wrong with you? 】

Yu Tong entered the system space and started smoking one cigarette after another.

The strong feeling of irritability made him breathless.

He was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "A lot of people died."

The system sighed, its mood growing depressed. [Yes, that's more than the previous two worlds combined.]

"People die all the time in my hometown. Even after I left for the big city, I still see piles of dead bodies. People in my world die in droves. Death is as common as drinking water."

[You've said this many times, and every time I hear it I find it terrifying.]

Yu Tong sucked his balls and said, "Yes, it's scary. I thought it was scary when I was a kid, but I got used to it when I grew up. Now when I think about it, it's really scary."

The system didn't hear what he said clearly, its attention was drawn to the new message prompt.
