"boom"
The three of them knocked down the people behind them.
Just then, a dark hand reached out from the side, grabbed one of the people's feet, and dragged him over.
"puff"
"what!"
Amid screams, blood splattered, spilling onto doors and windows. Those who had fallen to the ground ignored the pain and tried to get up and run, but when they turned around, they found monsters coming from both sides, making it impossible for them to escape.
There was no way to run along either side of the passage, and the room ahead was also protected by a barrier, leaving them with nowhere to escape.
"Please, save us!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Help!"
"Please..."
Screams, cries, and pleas for help filled the air; the scene was utter chaos.
Under these circumstances, baijiu (Chinese liquor) took a step forward.
Ling Yi turned her head to look at him: "What, you want to save them?"
"I..." Bai Jiu lowered his head when he met Ling Yi's gaze.
He knew Ling Yi didn't want to save them, but... they were pitiful, and he could feel their emotions; they were terrified.
Seeing his head bowed and silent, Ling's voice turned cold: "Don't you have the courage to say what you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Baijiu looked up and said, "I want to save them."
"They were very scared."
Ling Yi looked at the liquor but didn't say anything.
She disliked what Baijiu said, but she couldn't deny that someone from Baijiu's upbringing couldn't just stand by and watch someone die. If he were truly such a cold-hearted person, he wouldn't have helped Baijiu and given up his own spot at their first meeting.
He won't be easily fooled by her.
She didn't like the kindness of the baijiu, but... only through experience can one grow!
"Open the barrier." Ling Yi looked at Bai Jiu: "Take a good look and see if these people are worth saving!"
Ye Qingshuang glanced at the white wine and prepared to activate the barrier.
Ye Qingshuang knew that Ling Yi did this to help the liquor industry grow, and she wanted to as well.
When activating the barrier, Ye Qingshuang even considered opening only a small entrance, just big enough for one person to pass through, so that before entering the barrier, Baijiu could see how those people would harm their own people in order to survive.
Don't think they're just strangers; when it comes to survival, even the closest of relatives can kill each other.
"Cough cough..." Ji Yanzhi started coughing again.
Ling looked down and asked, "Feeling unwell again?"
"It's alright," Ji Yanzhi replied.
Upon hearing Ji Yanzhi's voice, Ye Qingshuang gritted her teeth, suppressing all the darkness in her heart, and then widened the tear to make it easier for the group to come in together.
As soon as the barrier entrance opened, those who had been blocked outside rushed in.
The people in front ran in, but all the people behind were dragged away by the excavator.
"father!"
Among those being dragged away by the excavator, a boy cried out to them for help.
"Xiao Tian!"
A man rushed forward, trying to save the person, but was blocked by the already closed barrier.
The man turned to look at Ling Yi and the others: "Let me out! I want to get out!"
Ye Qingshuang looked at the man coldly: "If you're going to leave now, why did you come in just now?"
“If you don’t want to come in, you can give the opportunity to your son. Your son won’t have to die, and you won’t have to shout about leaving now.”
Annoyed by Ye Qingshuang's rebuke, the man immediately began to accuse her: "It's all your fault!"
"If you hadn't taken so long to open the barrier and let us in, how could my son have died?"
Ye Qingshuang stared coldly at the man without saying a word.
The man was a little hesitant, but he quickly came up with a plan and started pulling the others together: "If you had opened the barrier earlier and let us in, so many people wouldn't have died."
"You won't open the barrier, fine, but you're attacking us too. What's the difference between you and those demons outside?"
"That's right, why didn't you open the barrier sooner?"
Why did they target us?
"Good question." Ling Yi looked at them: "Those three I killed damaged our barrier. Is there a problem with me killing them?"
"If you're willing to open the barrier, why would they attack?"
"The barrier was set up by our people for self-defense. What do you have to do with us?" Ling Yi asked coldly. "Why would I risk anything to open the barrier and save you?"
Upon hearing this, the person who had been questioning fell silent.
They ignored it.
The man, however, refused to let them stop there: "Then why are you opening it now? Let us die outside. Do you have to see people dead before you open it?"
"Yes, no matter what, we're all in the same boat. What's wrong with helping each other out when we're in trouble?"
"Help each other?" Ling Yi chuckled lightly. "When people of similar strength are in trouble, they help each other. If I help you, that's called risking my life to save you, which is a huge loss for me, understand?"
"How can you be so cold-hearted?" someone scolded Ling Yi. "You have no humanity at all!"
“You’re so humane, why didn’t you show your humanity and let the people at the back come in first?” Ling Yi said, “If any of you had been willing to let his son come in first, he might not have died.”
Ling Yi shook her head: "Tsk tsk, how can you be so cold-hearted and heartless?"
"You..." The person who had rebuked Ling Yi couldn't refute him and could only say resentfully, "Sharp-tongued!"
Ling Yi sneered, then looked at Bai Jiu: "See that?"
"You wanted to save them, but after they were saved, they not only didn't thank you, they blamed you for not helping them sooner. That's human nature."
Kindness, malice, selfishness, greed, and desire are all aspects of human nature.
Human nature is complex and unsolvable; since it is unsolvable, let's abandon it.
Ling Yi once thought so, but later, someone planted a light source in her heart with the power of non-birth and non-death.
She said, "Only by possessing humanity and self-control can one achieve immortality."
Ling Yi looked up at the noisy crowd. The next moment, the bone knife came out from his palm, a white light flashed, and the head of the person who was shouting the loudest fell to the ground with a thud.
All the noise fell silent at that moment, a deathly stillness.
But what followed was a deafening roar.
Everyone stared at Ling Yi in horror.
Ling Yi smiled when he saw the fear in their eyes.
This is best; she likes this look in her eyes.
"Ling Yi," Ji Yanzhi called softly.
Ling Yi tilted her head and looked down, her eyes filled with undisguised laughter.
She was willing to wear that disguise in front of everyone, but she was unwilling to do so in front of Ji Yanzhi.
Since he came for her, he should see the real her.
Ling Yi leaned closer to Ji Yanzhi, meeting his gaze: "Why did you call me?"
Should we stop her?
Ji Yanzhi met Ling Yi's eyes: "My clothes are dirty, and I have no clothes to change into."
Completely unexpected, Ling Yi paused for a moment, then looked down and saw that Ji Yanzhi's clothes were stained with red spots, probably from when his head hit the ground.
Ling Yi wanted to laugh: "You called me just for this?"
