Xu Jie retorted, "Why? Have you lost control? Doesn’t look like it, you’re very aware, more aware than anyone else."
"So you didn’t know, sorry." Yi Xiaodong sighed with pity, "You’re right, precisely because I’m so aware... the people of the past were wise... out of sight, out of mind. But since I’ve seen it, I can’t just ignore it."
He walked forward step by step, the sound of his footsteps on the gravel clearly audible, as his heartstrings kept leaping, he felt the person before him was so real and so beautiful, beautiful and moving.
"You are all monsters, you haven’t even realized it yourselves, I hadn’t realized it either. Until I found that there wasn’t a single person I knew here, I understood I was surrounded by monsters!"
Yi Xiaodong’s face showed a look of sorrow, realizing the problem, realizing that aside from Xu Jie, there wasn’t a single familiar person in the settlement.
Xu Jie stared at him, coldly saying, "You’re crazy, you’ve killed us all, there’s no such things as monsters, we are all living people."
"You’ve killed everyone! Yet you’re still saying we are monsters, you’ve gone mad, truly mad!"
Xu Jie’s face twisted, shouting hoarsely, her body full of wounds, constantly oozing blood.
"I’m sorry, this might be hard to understand, I also know this might not be your intention..." Yi Xiaodong showed an apologetic expression, his heart indeed somewhat shaken, "I only accept what I recognize as the truth, otherwise I can’t even be sure if I’m still alive, although I don’t know what has actually happened..."
Listening to Yi Xiaodong’s words, Xu Jie suddenly widened her eyes, seeming to understand something, tears filled her eyes: "You think this is all fake? Did you ever like me?"
Yi Xiaodong didn’t hesitate for a moment, the answer long prepared, he’d been pondering this all day, he pointed to his own forehead:
"I liked you, and still do, from the first moment I saw you... Although I can’t imagine it being for too long, at least not as long as my memory wants it to be."
"Hearing you say this, I just realized, we’ve always been influenced by something, and you started appearing from that point, you were the first one, weren’t you."
As he spoke, he gradually approached Xu Jie, eyes filled only with madness, bloodshot.
At this moment, over a dozen figures sprang out from the surrounding ruins, pouncing towards him, seeming to have been lying in ambush.
"Kill him!"
"Kill this Demon!"
They were all survivors from the settlement, faces both unfamiliar and familiar, causing confusion for Yi Xiaodong, and the more it happened, the more it made him feel irritable.
He suspected that if he continued like this, he might not be able to distinguish reality from illusion, completely sinking into it.
As someone who made it to be a leader, his strength was very strong, at least among the top in the settlement.
He sidestepped to avoid the oncoming attack, extending his left hand, his palm exploding, shooting a blood arrow penetrating one person’s chest.
Then, several blood arrows burst from all over his body, shooting dead four or five people who were closing in.
Yet at this moment, more wounded people emerged from the ruins, seemingly the lucky survivors of just now, only the numbers were off, there were too many.
Yi Xiaodong watched this scene, raising an eyebrow, and instantly understood something.
