"Lei Kai...did you hear anything just now?"
Cheng Leikai shook his head.
Arou suddenly took two steps back from his embrace, turning her head in alarm to look at Zou Zhiqing, who was standing beside her with a smile. "Sister Zou, did you hear anything just now?"
"I heard it." Zou Zhiqing smiled and nodded, "I said you two have had enough. How many times have I told you not to show affection in front of me, but you still have to show it every time. Believe it or not, I will beat you up."
Arou's face paled again. She opened her mouth, about to speak about the voice from earlier, when the hoarse voice rang in her ears again, "This is the devil's game. Those who disrupt the game will become nourishment for the devil."
Seeing that Arou looked unwell, Zou Zhiqing's smile vanished, and he frowned as he reached out and grabbed Arou's wrist. "What's wrong?"
Arou shook her head.
No one knew that just moments before, right under their noses, one of the passengers had been forced into a bizarre and absurd game.
While Wen Zuo was giving Mo Shuwan medicine, Mo Shuwan told them everything that had happened before. Looking at the Black Spirit Clan members standing in the distance, she frowned slightly. "It's true that they want us to help collect the Dark Origin, and it's also true that they want to repair the core of the world. From what we can see now, their actions are not strange. They probably think that they can completely control us, and that it's more convenient than giving us self-awareness."
"Damn! That was dangerous!" Chen Jiaxu swallowed hard. "If it weren't for the bead Zheng Shanhe gave us, the captain and the others would probably be dead!"
Mo Shuwan nodded.
"We also encountered someone here who also claimed to be a member of the Dark Spirit Clan. No, it wasn't exactly him claiming to be one. His conversation with us triggered the main quest, which is to help the Dark Spirit Clan repair the core of the world."
Mo Shuwan was also stunned. After all, she never expected to encounter this situation. The two main quests that were triggered were supposed to be a way of acknowledging the identity of the Black Spirit Clan, but now both of the acknowledged Black Spirit Clan members regarded the other as an enemy...
When discussing such important issues, they certainly couldn't discuss it among themselves. Mo Shuwan stood up, walked to Zheng Shanhe's side, smiled at him, and waved to Zou Zhiqing and the others who were still discussing among themselves. "Everyone, come and exchange information. We don't have much time left."
Wen Zuo was taken aback. "What do you mean there's not much time left?"
“Just now…” Mo Shuwan suddenly remembered that she didn’t seem to have mentioned this, and she slapped her forehead helplessly. “I almost forgot. After we were shrouded in darkness, those Black Spirit Clan people sent us to a stone door. After the stone door opened, there was a monster inside that I found very strange. The Dark Essence that the Black Spirit Clan wanted to collect was given to him. We should have a mark left by him on us. When the time comes, we must return to the stone door.”
Wen Zuo frowned sharply and reached out to grab Mo Shuwan's hand.
"Don't worry, nothing serious for now, but there's something important. I have this feeling that I have to kill him." This feeling came out of nowhere, but Mo Shuwan dared not ignore it at all, because it was the first time that she had truly felt a killing intent from the bottom of her heart, a killing intent that she had to kill that monster.
But she should have been seeing that monster for the first time, so she shouldn't have had such strong negative emotions.
Qu Dan, who had just walked over, glanced at Mo Shuwan in surprise, sat down on the spot, and rubbed his temples. "Actually, I have one too."
Mo Shuwan immediately looked at Arou and the other two, and when she saw them nodding in agreement, she suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
Seeing the grim faces of the crowd, Zheng Shanhe sighed, "Your feeling is right, he has to die. If he doesn't die... if you have the chance, you must kill him."
"Do you know where that monster came from?"
"I know." A look of hesitation appeared in Zheng Shanhe's eyes. In the end, he shook his head slightly. "There are some things that you will not benefit from knowing now. The only thing I can tell you now is that the monster must be killed. Also, I can roughly guess what will happen in this world. In the next month, no matter what strange things you encounter, remember not to look back."
Zheng Shanhe's words were ambiguous, and although everyone wanted to ask him more, he remained silent. However, judging from his expression, they could guess that this matter was probably far more complicated than they had initially imagined.
Zheng Shanhe pressed a button on his wheelchair and pushed it back slightly. He looked at the two criminals standing on the outermost edge and frowned deeply.
The game has started, and we can only keep playing along... But how did those guys even get into this little world?
Zheng Shanhe was really unwilling to talk about it, so the discussion about the monster had to be put on hold for the time being. Everyone's attention returned to the fact that both sides claimed to be natives of the Black Spirit Clan. According to Wen Zuo and the others, when the boy realized that they were stubbornly refusing to admit that 'their people are no longer their people,' he took the initiative to leave. He also said something before he left.
"All living things in this world rely on darkness to survive. Darkness chooses the strongest race as its true subjects. It does not prevent the weaker races from replacing the powerful ones. Our Dark Spirit Clan has been replaced by those weak but numerous creatures. Their existence has affected the balance of the world. The world's core has cracked, and the source of darkness has dissipated. Only by collecting enough source of darkness can the world's core be healed. You must remember, those creatures are weak and despicable! They must never be trusted!"
