"Is this a joke..."
"Of course it's a joke."
"Where to start—" Chu Shangli clenched his hands and blinked his eyes: "At least not the part about the eyes..."
"Of course, that's obvious." The Cheshire Cat opened his eyes wide. "What I see is indeed different. I have replaced my glasses - and only now have they been replaced with a few high-end products. But they were not high-end products at first. In fact, they are very common products in a certain circle..."
"What circle? The ghetto? Or the minority who know the truth?"
"If it were my old glasses—slums. Actually, you should also consider this—with such a huge disparity in living standards and having to go through constant screening to climb to the top of the empire, it's easy to lose balance mentally, isn't it? In order to avoid collapse, what methods were used to maintain their mental stability?"
They are unarmed and far away from the core of the empire, so their mental stability is of no concern at all...
In the fifteen years—no, for quite a long time, I knew nothing about this—
Then their existence is completely dispensable. From Ying Meng's eyes and words, it can be seen that no one cares even if they are treated as the product of a large-scale experiment and die, or as a place to store samples.
The situation of those who had escaped the past through their own strength and entered the core of the empire had not improved much either - they still had to abide by almost harsh rules -
At the same time, even though they were in the same school as Ying Meng, their existence was still ignored.
For Chu Shangli, who was imprisoned on the top of the tower, that was so cruel that she could not even imagine it and talk without feeling any pain in her waist.
Even when she had the thought that it didn't matter whether those people died or not, she also discovered her own despicable side -
A mean, bad, and completely inconsiderate side to other people's feelings—a lack of proper respect for fellow living beings—
She couldn't see clearly what Chu Moyin said and did, and from a condescending perspective, she certainly couldn't understand the hearts of those people whose names had long disappeared from the imperial dictionary.
No matter how many books you read or how much theoretical knowledge you master, the human heart is still something that is difficult to measure.
“That’s wrong…”
Words escaping from his throat were so "wrong" that even the deeper meaning seemed wrong...
"Hmm? What? Didn't you say anything? Or was I distracted just now?"
The Cheshire Cat pressed his eyelids. "Hmm, you used a clever trick to call up the game, but didn't you actually play it? Were you just showing off to me?"
Chu Shangli unconsciously thought, if this was Chu Moyin, she would probably understand what she wanted to say without her having to speak...
"No……"
"Hmm? Why do you look so embarrassed? Could it be that you can't speak out what you're thinking right now? Or that you can't speak out again, because you finally mustered up the courage, but it was all destroyed by my distraction?" The Cheshire Cat raised a finger. "Or—is your intuition telling you that I'm about to share some extremely dangerous information? The kind that will explode if you hear it?"
"You don't need intuition to know this, you'll know it just by listening."
"So you're worried about whether or not to listen to me?" The Cheshire Cat raised his lip. "What? We're already on this pirate ship. Wouldn't it be a bit hypocritical to start worrying now?"
