Chapter 140 - Learning is Important (3 More! Please Subscribe! Please Vote Monthly!)

I don’t know.No one knows.

Demons, terrifying because of this.

No one knows when the person next to them is replaced by a demon.

No one knows when the person next to them will suddenly become a demon.

One second they’re a brother, a relative, a lover; the next, they’re an enemy in a life-and-death struggle.

The scariest part is if you guess wrong.

Then what they kill isn’t a demon, but the most important person to them.

That kind of guilt, the pain, is often unbearable for ordinary people.

That’s why many of the Foolish Underworld’s people are actually mentally unstable.

Not many can have such strong spirits.

Like at the scene, the friends and family of Shi Chengxin are alright, they just watched Shi Chengxin transform from a person into a demon and then die tragically.

But the one who’s really tormented is Li Baizhen.

He’s under immense pressure.

From decapitation to destroying the corpse, to the corpse transforming and the demon appearing.

The complexity of the emotional changes.

The dramatic fluctuations in mood are simply too much for outsiders to understand.

Fortunately, everything has come to an end.

Fortunately, the final outcome wasn’t a mistake.

But Li Baizhen can’t quite feel happy about it.

Exactly, what good does it do if Shi Chengxin really was a demon?

After all, the brother who fought and laughed and trusted each other through life and death has ultimately died.

Maybe he died at the hands of a demon.

Or maybe he died by his own hand.

It’s unclear now.

And it doesn’t matter anymore.

Li Baizhen took a deep breath to alleviate the complex emotions in his heart.

Then, he looked up.

His gaze fell upon Fang Yu who had pulled the Sword from the demon and shaken the blood off it.

Sensing Li Baizhen’s gaze, Fang Yu nodded slightly at him.

But Li Baizhen frowned.

Because he noticed a detail.

Under such dire circumstances, Shi Chengxin.

Didn’t choose to run outside but instead rushed toward the crowd before him.

It’s too irrational.

Or rather, illogical.

Though Li Baizhen was confident,

that even if he came to his senses and Shi Chengxin fled a hundred meters away, he would instantly draw his bow and aim an arrow, locked on target!

Not to mention killing directly, at least it’d injure Shi Chengxin enough to be easily chased down and killed.

But to Li Baizhen’s surprise, Shi Chengxin made another choice.

Was it because he knew there was no escape, and he hoped to rush into the crowd and take a hostage or something?

Or is it because in the crowd, there is... still another demon insider amongst them?!

Li Baizhen dared not think further, but this thought wouldn’t leave his mind.

He was sick of suspicion.

Every person in the team was someone he personally dug up, discovered, promoted, and cultivated, following him for who knows how many years!

They had built deep ties through countless battles.

One Shi Chengxin has already filled Li Baizhen with an array of emotions, he truly couldn’t bear the pain of killing a second, third, fourth... brother with his own hands.

With such suspicions, the insiders would never end.

The team would only fall into panic, suspecting everyone to be a demon.

No matter what he thought internally, Li Baizhen knew he now had to step forward.

"Indeed..."

Li Baizhen uttered these two words.

The voices of others in the area instantly quieted down.

They all turned to look at Li Baizhen.

By then, any talk about Li Baizhen being a demon had already vanished.

The moment the true form of the Shi Chengxin demon emerged, the situation was immediately clear.

Everyone waited for Li Baizhen to continue.

Li Baizhen spoke slowly.

"Indeed, Shi Chengxin has become a demon."

"When Shi Chengxin became a demon, it should have been only these past few months, perhaps even just three days ago on the day the demons caused chaos."

"Eaten by the demons, transformed into their likeness, lurking amongst us."

"As for those discrepancies in the data, it was all deception, bluffing him."

"No matter what, I guessed right. Shi Chengxin had indeed become a demon."

"He was the insider among us! The only insider!"

"The insider has been eliminated, there are no more demons lurking among us!"

"Everyone can rest easy now, there’s no need for suspicion anymore."

"With me here, demons won’t easily lurk amongst us!"

With Li Baizhen’s words, many were touched.

What mattered most was that with Li Baizhen’s assurance, they could let down their guard.

"That’s right! There are no more demon insiders among us! There’s no need for everyone to doubt anymore!"

"Finally, it’s over. When I knew there was a demon insider among us, I lived in constant fear every day, that a brother who I’ve been with for many years might suddenly strike and kill me while we move together," Che Linfang patted his chest, pretending to be scared.

Fang Yu:...

You’d better really be scared!

The others also felt at ease.

Some mourned the death of Shi Chengxin.

Some felt demons were hateful, wishing to go out and torture a few demons to vent their emotions.

At this moment, Li Baizhen came over and patted Fang Yu’s shoulder.

"Tough day."

"It’s okay."

It has to be okay.

He had eaten a human head!

Although he only ate a head and the experience was a bit less, it was like a free gift!

Li Baizhen’s Sword had decapitated and left it with very little health, then Fang Yu jumped out to finish it off; it was precisely the scenario Lei Shenhao dreamed of.

Unfortunately, this kind of opportunity, he will never have in his life!

Only someone like me, who can see the health bar, can grasp the perfect timing to strike.
