Chapter 365 - Friends (2/2)
The two exchanged a look, and they suddenly stood up, retreated to one side, and made a serious salute towards Shen Ying’s party. “Thank you, thank…” They looked like they wanted to say something, but couldn’t make a song for a long while, as though they didn’t know how to start.
“Words of thanks can be left for later. Go inside to fetch the purple spring!” Lonemoon pushed Shen Ying. “It has to return to your original plane.”
Shen Ying directly raised a hand to draw a line, opening up the passage towards that half-collapsed small world.
“Okay… Okay…” The two nodded, before they walked in rapidly with a face full of excitement and even somewhat unstable footsteps. They disappeared in an instant.
Only then did Shen Ying turn to look at a certain person beside her. “Now… you can speak the truth, right?”
Godfiend stiffened and gave her a surprised look. After a while, his whole body relaxed, and as though some disguise was finally removed, his whole body bent down. He smiled towards her. “it’s Big Boss indeed. Nothing can be kept from you.”
“What do you mean?” Lonemoon was stunned. “Is there something else wrong with this plane that you didn’t mention?”
“No, no…” Godfiend hurried to wave in denial. “I promise that there’s nothing else. How would I dare?” He smiled even wider, but his figure swayed, and his body actually collapsed like he could no longer support it.
Yi Qing reached out to support him, but he still sat directly down on the ground. There was even a faint glow upon his body, as if he was going to disappear in the next moment.
“Holy shit! What’s up with you?” Lonemoon was shocked. He produced a hand seal subconsciously, but it didn’t work at all. The immortal power on his body was dissipating. At this rate… he would die. “What happened? You were hurt by Hong Meng’s group?”
“No!” Godfiend shook his head, not caring at all, as if he was welcoming not death but rebirth. “The time has come, that’s all.” He laughed even more happily. Unlike the previous kind of polite fake smile, this was a genuine smile. “I should have left long ago, but without resolving their matter… I always felt worried. Luckily… Luckily we have the best Manager.”
Shen Ying’s eyes darkened. She squatted down directly beside him and gave him a glance. “Why not tell the truth? And why deliberately causing hatred?”
“I’ve got no other way.” He shook his head. “They didn’t belong to this world in the first place. If I don’t isolate them in the outer realm, with time, they are sure to be repelled by the plane. When that happens, they would disappear completely.” That’s why he made them disconnect from the plane at that small world.
“What about the purple gas?” If isolating the people at outer realm was to prevent plane repelling, what was robbing their power for?
“I heard that all beings originated from the original source of the plane.” He said softly. “Their power was a plane original source as well, so I wanted to make a bet on their behalf… And the truth proved that I won that bet.” After all these years, those purple gas finally became a purple spring.
Lonemoon frowned, suddenly not understanding Godfiend. That meant all he did was actually just to help those people. “Why don’t you tell them straight away?”
“Because… they won’t be able to live.” Godfiend continued to smile. “Like me, they were born for their plane. I guessed that they would probably go mad knowing that their plane was gone. If hating me can help them live, isn’t that quite good? At the end of the day, I owed them.”
“So you deliberately looked for abuse?” She tilted her head.
“Hahaha…” He laughed out loud. “It was to wait for you, Big Boss. I can’t return their plane to them, but a Manager can! They are all good people. It’d be such a pity if they disappear just like that.”
