"But why..."

"Why would you do this? It's just to give my master a reason to rest in peace."

Zhang Dongyang said with pity in his eyes, "He's really too tired, it's time for him to sleep."

Finally, Zhang Dongyang reached out his hand and firmly grasped Ye Ran's hand.

In an instant, Ye Ran felt a strange power and a profound feeling begin to enter his body.

He tried to struggle, but felt his body being completely bound by an invisible force.

"Quiet down. This is one of the few remaining energy crystals from General Yin Haisheng. Don't worry, after being refined by my liquid metal, it can be said to be the purest power in the world. You've got a good deal."

"you......"

"Shh, don't speak. Master said he sees a true future of equality for all in you. I believe Master's words, and I hope you believe them too..."

Ye Ran stared blankly at all of this.

He never expected that the mad Zhang Dongyang would ultimately make such a choice.

As time passed, the liquid metal began to dry up.

Gradually, Zhang Dongyang's aura began to weaken.

He slumped down beside Ye Ran, smiling weakly:

"Do you remember how my master introduced me? He said I was a psychologist."

"Haha, I did work as a psychologist for many years."

Zhang Dongyang's eyes were unfocused, and his tone was erratic:

"I still remember providing psychological counseling to an ordinary person back then."

“He comes from a single-parent family and was raised by his mother from a young age. He actually has some martial arts talent, but he had to take care of his sick mother, so he gave up the opportunity to become a martial arts master and chose to be an ordinary person, working to support his mother.”

"In order to get medical treatment for his mother, he found a job advertisement in the Yin family's free market. As a result, he not only worked for free, but the Yin family also confiscated the few spirit stones he had saved up over the years."

"The day he was scammed, he returned home. His mother, lying in bed, asked him if he had a good day. He, who always answered yes, was speechless for the first time. He wanted to cry but dared not, and could only turn his back, sobbing and biting his lip, his mouth full of blood..."

“When I was counseling him, he cried and asked me why life was so hard. I was speechless and could only tell him to persevere and that things would get better slowly.”

"Then, his mother died, and not long after, he died too, without leaving a last word."

"The moment I saw his body, I felt like I had said the most disgusting thing I've ever said to him in my life."

Everything will get better eventually...

"We ordinary people are like stinking rats living in the dark corners of this world. Whether we live or die, we can't even make a splash."

"It's as if you don't deserve to live in the same world as us..."

Zhang Dongyang spoke weakly, then smiled helplessly:

"Ugh, this messed-up world..."

Zhang Dongyang cursed and slowly closed his eyes.
