"So what does any of this have to do with ?" Sun Hang let out a snort of laughter, "Even if they're real people, just with that appearance, I have enough reason to kill them all."
He raised his right index finger at the glass curtain wall and shook it left and right: "Don't try to morally blackmail ."
Imdiately afterwards, Sun Hang changed the shaking index finger to a middle finger pointing straight up: "Because I have no morals at all."
"Wrong." The glass curtain wall displayed just two words, concise and to the point.
But this ti Sun Hang didn't give the other side a chance to continue, and quickly retorted: "These people should be the ones you killed and devoured, right? I forgot to tell you, although I don't have many virtues, I do have a decent mory... I've seen this face on your cocoon."
Sun Hang pointed at the female corpse at his feet and continued, "I was thinking then, it's such a pity that a beautiful woman turned into a wraith... so, I've just killed a bunch of dead people again, what psychological burden would I have?"
"But you," Sun Hang raised his head and looked at the glass curtain wall, "You've done things far more inhumane than I have, and you still have the nerve to morally blackmail ? How thick-skinned can you be?"
"From start to finish, I never intended to use them to morally blackmail you."
"Do you know why they pounced on you?"
"Why?"
"Because in their eyes, you are the thing they desire most." The words flashed quickly across the glass curtain wall, "All those overwhelming negative emotions are primarily because of the human longing for what they can't obtain from you."
"For ?" Sun Hang pointed at himself with so surprise, "Ha, I never thought I had such charm, that I could kill n and won, young and old alike."
"To the young filled with springti feelings, you are the near-perfect lover; to those who crave materialism, you are the inexhaustible wealth; to those who yearn for power and status, you are the scepter symbolizing the highest position; to those suffering from terminal illness, you are the miraculous cure capable of treating all ailnts; and to those who seek knowledge and truth, you have beco the answer to all the world's problems... their pain, hesitation, resentnt, sorrow, anxiety, anger... all stem from their inability to obtain you."
The words on the glass curtain wall scrolled like the end credits of a movie, sped up too.
"Too long, didn't read," Sun Hang said, "But I noticed you didn't refute what I said earlier, so it seems like the consciousness talking to now is Chira 17, right?"
"I don't like the codena humans gave ... it sounds like sothing insignificant that's flawed."
"To be honest, I can't associate that codena with the word insignificant." Sun Hang shrugged, "If you explode, everyone in Tianfu City would be buried with you."
"Isn't that great?"
"Great?"
"Anything alive... as long as it's alive, can't be perfect, and any perfection leads to dissatisfaction, thus becoming a breeding ground for negative emotions... rather than surviving with defects and regrets, it's better to let all life return to death."
The words on the glass curtain wall paused for a mont, then disappeared completely, as if soone wiped all the words away with an invisible eraser.
A phrase slowly surfaced: "Only death is the only perfect thing in the world."
"So, you're going to blow up Tianfu City as a good deed?" Sun Hang asked.
"I just want to return to death."
"If you want to die, can't you just find a quiet corner to die in?" Sun Hang couldn't help but be puzzled, "Why make such a big spectacle?"
"Sotis, the inability to die completely is a kind of pain."
The colors displayed on the glass curtain wall suddenly turned black and white: "And the culprit of this pain is you."
"?" Sun Hang was stunned, "What the hell does that have to do with !"
"...Have you really forgotten everything?"
"If you want to tell sothing related to , I'm all ears," Sun Hang imdiately said, quickly scanning the surroundings to guard against anything sneaky popping up like a monkey.
But the next second, the projection on the glass curtain wall turned into large chunks of gibberish, while a noise filled with extre mania echoed above the street.
The corpses Sun Hang severed suddenly wriggled, crawling aimlessly... that "pitied" beautiful female corpse even crawled onto Sun Hang's instep, only to be kicked tens of ters away by him.
"Tsk, what a pity." Anna's voice suddenly sounded in Sun Hang's already dead headset.
"You're awake?"
"I've been awake the whole ti."
"Then why didn't you respond when I called you?"
"Because I was afraid of stimulating her," Anna replied, "Didn't you notice how violently she reacted just hearing my na? If I appeared directly, wouldn't she go completely mad?"
"Then what do you an by coming out now?"
"Because she's already gone mad now... I thought this transformation would allow her to maintain sanity for a longer period, but it only lasted for such a short while." Anna said, "What a pity, I thought I could say things through her that I couldn't otherwise."
"What things?"
"If I say it now, you'll lose your darling daughter," Anna replied.
"Aren't you incapable of dying?"
"There are many things in this world more terrifying than death," Anna said softly, "For her... for , death is actually a kind of gift, a rcy."
"Can you tell how to get out of this illusion?" Sun Hang thought for a mont, then decided to ask a more practical question.
"This isn't an illusion," Anna's answer surprised Sun Hang.
"This is a real world, and everything she said just now was true... These creatures you killed were living people."
"Then where is this place?"
"Tianfu City's Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street."
"Nonsense."
"Okay, I intended to make a joke with you... but this is indeed Tianfu City's Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street and shares the sa na as the place you thought of."
"The sa na?"
"This is a world she created using her abilities, a complete replica of Qiuxi Road Pedestrian Street and everything around it, and the humans she devoured also gained a sort of 'rebirth' in this world. If you've read so fantasy or cultivation novels, you should understand the concept: this is like a 'small world' cultivated inside those powerful beings... apart from being a bit smaller in terms of space, it has no difference from the 'big world' outside."
"I see quite a big difference," Sun Hang glanced at the wriggling dismbered limbs, "In the real world, you probably wouldn't see such a grotesque scene."
In these dismbered limbs, Sun Hang couldn't sense any trace of tic aura, which ant they weren't anomalies.
It was precisely because of this reasoning that Sun Hang had been referring to these people as "humanoid creatures" instead of anomalies.
"Oh, and one more thing, the laws of a 'small world' are adjusted according to the world creator's will at any mont," Anna added, "The life and death of these people is just a thought for her... but now, she's gone mad again."
