Chapter 365 (1/2)

The woman left, so did her followers. Although Chu Yunsheng was injured, he still didn’t know why they wanted to attack him. His wound was later wrapped up by his colleagues.

Of course, even if he wanted to ask the woman, he didn’t think the woman would tell him, let alone he didn’t have the ability to talk.

Looking at Old Sun constantly bowing at the woman and apologizing on behalf of him, Chu Yunsheng felt like there was something inside his chest that he couldn’t get out.

The information Old Sun had was wrong. The 9th unit offended someone that he shouldn’t have offended. He understood why Old Sun wanted to apologize, but to thank them on behalf of him? He was the one that was wounded. He shouldn’t thank them. They should be the one that apologized to him.

However, he couldn’t make them change their mind. As long as he was wearing the mask, Old Sun was still his team leader, and he still represented him.

Originally, it was not really a big of a deal. In order to survive, he had done so many things since the beginning of the dark age. He hid before, ran away before, tried to trick other people before and played dead before… but no matter what he did, he still didn’t feel as humiliated as this moment. He was wounded, but he still needed to “thank” them? Even when he was fighting the divine realm, he still didn’t kneel down.

Although there were so many people around him, it seemed like he was the only one who felt like it. It suddenly made him understand himself from a different perspective.

Then he realized that what he had thought before was wrong. Why did he need to learn how to feel numb? Why did he need to learn how to live in the dark age like other people? The reason why the woman back in Hong Kong was able to laugh next to her brother’s body was not that she had learned how to feel numb. It was actually that she had naturally adapted reality.

No matter how he tried to remind himself that he should know his limit, there was a faint arrogance hidden deep inside his heart.

That arrogance seemed to come from the book, and from the very beginning, he had separated himself from others and treated everyone with a “condescending” att.i.tude. It was something that he had never noticed before. Whether it was friends, family members, or the enemy that he hated, he treated them all the same.

Whether it was The Age Of Light or The Dark Age, even if it was those who were incompetent, they also had a faint sense of “self-loving” deep inside their hearts. They would always find something different about themselves, so they could feel proud of themselves.

In The Age Of Light, this kind of thing was called “pride”.

As his power became stronger and stronger, and many talented awakened people were defeated by him, the seed of this kind of pride was growing faster and stronger.

However, it was not a good thing at all. When the “pride” was too strong, and the reality was still brutal, it would only cause pain if he failed to achieve his expectation.

It happened once when he tried to protect Yu Xiaohai, then it happened again when he tried to protect his family, it happened again and again until he saw his brother – Dumb Insect killed itself.

Every time when he lost something important in his life, he would desperately want to increase his power. However, the more powerful he got, the sense of pride also grew stronger inside his heart. Tears would eventually dry up, sadness would eventually fade away. But the sense of pride was like his inner devil that still haunted him and made him think that he could have done better.

When he looked at how Old Sun behaved in front of the golden armor woman, he realized that if he swallowed his pride and admitted that he had done his best, it probably would not be that painful.
