The light coming through the cafeteria windows was soft.
"Sister Xi, have you heard of a term recently? There's a kind of feeling called physiological liking."
What is physiological attraction like?
"Sister Xi, do you think beastmen are better, or pure humans are better?"
"Sister Xi, what type of person do you like?"
Mona fiddled with her earrings, then suddenly blushed and asked Zixi, who was eating next to her.
"All is well."
"I am a pacifist and only hope for less fighting and more peaceful days."
"As for race, it doesn't matter. As long as we can respect each other and live peacefully together, that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Zi Xi paused slightly, then smiled.
However, these words precisely bypassed layers of surveillance and landed in a completely isolated secret room deep within the base.
The light screen in front of Wen Zhaoye clearly reflected everything in the isolation room.
Having just heard a new term, Wen Zhaoye decided to look it up.
When the words "pacifist" and "peaceful life" came out of her lips, Zhou Ying's disguise almost instantly cracked, and his golden eyes suddenly narrowed, bursting out with a gloomy coldness.
"Peace?"
"This world is rotten to the core, every inch of air is stained with filthy blood and the stench of betrayal, what need is there for peace?!"
A barely audible sneer, squeezed out between clenched teeth, echoed in the deathly silent room, filled with an almost vicious mockery.
The screen in front of Wen Zhaoye seemed to distort, no longer reflecting Zi Xi's calm face, but countless fragments of broken memories.
His mother's gentle yet desperate eyes, the sinister smile of his trusted friend who suddenly betrayed him, and his cowardly state as he was bullied and humiliated by that group of people, his utterly vulnerable state.
All the images were eventually obliterated by a crimson fire and ruins.
"Stability? Trust?"
"Ridiculous!! What true peace is there in this world?"
"That's nothing but a self-deceiving dream of the weak, a fence used by the strong to keep lambs in captivity!"
"All desires for security will ultimately only lead to more complete destruction!"
"It would be better to destroy it completely!"
Wen Zhaoye suddenly raised his hand, and the terrifying energy fluctuations at his fingertips almost overflowed out of control, but in the end he clenched his fist tightly, and his knuckles made a chilling cracking sound.
Five deep, twisted fingerprints were clearly visible on the surface of the expensive alloy console.
Zhou Zixi's light words were like the sharpest needles, precisely piercing the most rotten and never-healed old wounds in his heart.
The boy who once believed that someone would come to save him is no longer here.
What she longed for was precisely what he hated and wanted to tear apart with all his might—those hypocritical and ridiculous things.
Zhou Ying's identity now seemed incredibly ridiculous and irritating.
He even felt that the unfamiliar emotions he had developed over the past few days because of his attention to her were a kind of betrayal.
A violent rage swept up, burning away all the brief moments of hesitation.
He roughly ripped off the small props used for disguise, his movements carrying an almost self-destructive resolve.
The golden pupils were now devoid of any emotion, only a cold stillness and a desire for destruction remained.
He gave one last cold glance at the woman on the screen who knew nothing about it and even had a slight smile on her lips, and a chilling smile curved his lips.
The next moment, all the surveillance cameras went out instantly, and the secret room was plunged into complete silence and darkness.
