Chen Jiabao stopped talking and watched the show. Heh, no matter whether Chen Ke was a zombie or a human, as long as he was Chen Ke, he had to obey them obediently!
"Why did you abandon me as soon as I was born? Why have you never treated me like family? Why did you ruthlessly push me into the zombie horde even though I risked my life to protect you?"
Every word of "Chen Ke" seemed to be written in tears.
Everyone present couldn't help but look at the Chen family of three upon hearing this.
The three remained completely calm.
Chen Shiren said earnestly, "Chen Ke! How can you talk to us like that? Are you questioning us because you have some grievance against your parents? We couldn't even afford to eat when we gave birth to you. Later, we didn't want you to go hungry with us, so we sent you to an orphanage. Are you going to hold a grudge against us for that?"
He Meihong continued, "Besides, we brought you back as soon as our family situation improved a little! How much of your brother's stuff did you get when you came back? He's kind-hearted and gives you everything, but you didn't want it. And now you want to say we didn't treat you like family?"
"Mom, don't be angry." Chen Jiabao comforted He Meihong and then turned to Chen Ke and said, "Brother, what you said really hurt us. Mom and Dad are already feeling guilty for sending you to the orphanage, and then you still criticize them with every word. Doesn't it hurt to see them so upset?"
Chen Ke trembled with rage as he listened to the three men's completely distorted words. His anger was like a beast about to burst from his chest. He was so angry that he wished he could transform into a nuclear bomb and blow everyone away!
"You, you all..." But he opened and closed his mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Sigh, I felt sorry for him when I first heard what he said, but now it's hard to say. Everyone has their difficulties. There's nothing parents can do in that situation."
"Exactly, we can't just let him starve to death, can we?"
"And when things got better at home, they immediately brought him back."
"The younger brother in the family has suddenly lost some of the older brother's affection. Isn't the younger brother the one who's been wronged?"
"How could this person have the nerve to ask such questions? No wonder he spent time in an orphanage, his heart is so cold."
······
"Ah—ah!"
"Chen Ke" let out a furious and extremely painful howl.
No, that's not it. He just wanted to hear them say they were wrong, that they shouldn't have treated him that way, that they were just momentarily out of their minds and didn't mean it!
"Alright, Chen Ke, stop worrying about this. There are so many people here, not here to hear your trivial family matters. You should honestly tell us what you are now and what's going on with that zombie behind you, or you might not be able to leave here today," Wu Ran, who hadn't spoken until now, said in a tone that seemed to be doing this for your own good.
"You, shut up! Yes! And you, don't you feel any remorse towards me at all? Ah, Wu Ran, I've always considered you my best friend."
Wu Ran was indeed shocked by Chen Ke, but after being questioned by the three members of the Chen family, he realized that no matter what he had become, he was still the same Chen Ke as before, a cowardly and incompetent man who only thought about pleasing others to gain their pity.
Wu Ran felt completely relaxed. Hearing Chen Ke's words, she looked puzzled. "Chen Ke, what are you talking about? Why should I feel guilty towards you? If you feel unhappy, you should reflect on yourself instead of blaming everyone around you for your misfortune and thinking that everyone has wronged you. That's not right, Chen Ke."
Chen Ke trembled suddenly, his eyes gradually becoming blank. "No, this isn't right?"
"Of course it's wrong. Constantly blaming others instead of reflecting on your own actions will only make you increasingly unhappy, because you—"
"Bullshit! Wu Ran, you're talking nonsense! Shut your stinking mouth! I can't stand it anymore, are you putting on a PUA performance here?" Wu Wei angrily pointed at Wu Ran and cursed.
"Wu Ran, you're really shameless. You've opened my eyes. How come I never knew you were so shameless? Huh? How did you cultivate your abilities? Did you develop such a thick skin while improving your powers?"
What does it mean to reflect on oneself? He doesn't need to reflect; all his misfortunes are caused by you! You didn't ask him anything when he was born, you didn't ask him anything when he was sent to the orphanage, and now you're talking about the debt of gratitude for giving birth to him. What, you were the one who emptied that turd; why don't you go ask it when it will repay the debt of gratitude for giving birth to you?
What do you mean by sending them to an orphanage if you don't have money? If you don't have money, don't have children! What do you call someone who gives birth and then abandons them? You call them an animal! Oh, so taking them back and raising them is an act of kindness? If you're so good at demanding kindness, go ask Buddha for it! If you can't go to the Western Paradise, I can help you!
Wu Wei launched into a verbal attack on Wu Ran, but the veiled insults were too obvious. He Meihong's face turned red with anger, but due to Wu Wei's status, she could only grit her teeth in resentment.
"I'm giving you face, Wuwei—"
“Yes! Chen Ke has been too lenient with you, which is why you’ve taken advantage of it!” Wu Wei didn’t give Wu Ran a chance to speak and stood directly next to Chen Ke.
"Hiss! How dare the water god stand right there?"
"We don't even know if that person was a human or a zombie. The Water God acted too impulsively."
"Women are just driven by emotions. If that person really is a zombie, the first person you'd bite is the Water God. What brains do zombies have? They don't care if you're speaking up for them!"
Ignoring the whispers around him, Wu Wei looked at Chen Ke with unwavering eyes. "Chen Ke, don't believe Wu Ran's nonsense. You need to be confident. You're not wrong. They're the ones who are wrong. If one person in this world criticizes you, they're wrong. If a group of people criticize you, they're definitely in cahoots with you. If everyone criticizes you, then this world is sick. Anyway, you're not wrong!"
Chen Ke's blank gaze turned to Wu Wei, and finally a slight reaction appeared.
Wu Wei was really going all out today. She had long been fed up with the people here and this ridiculous world. Now, she felt much better after cursing them indiscriminately.
The reason she stood up for Chen Ke at all costs was not only because Chen Ke had helped her before, but also because she felt that Chen Ke was like the only outlier in the world.
Wu Wei didn't want this unique individual to disappear completely. If there were no more "alternatives" in the world, what would be the point of their existence?
There was a moment of silence after Wu Wei finished speaking.
Within Chen Ke's body, the original owner's angry and resentful will was gradually dissipating. In his final moments of despair, it was Wu Wei who gave him his only solace.
"Let them all go to hell to reflect on their actions; only there is a suitable place for demons to live..."
The moment the sound disappeared, Chen Ke regained control of his body.
