Chapter 180: 117: The true different walker_4
But others were not so fortunate.
Even the Mutator Xinkui couldn't withstand such torture.
So, after experiencing a "beautiful dream", Xinkui's defenses completely crumbled.
Dream after dream of despair only made him realize how much he was suffering.
He shed tears in secret too.
But despair and pain only made him clench his teeth and persevere, whereas beauty and light were what truly broke him.
Xinkui was almost on the verge of kneeling and begging Zhou Baiyu for help.
It took a long while before Zhou Baiyu could calm Xinkui's emotions, after all, acting like a caring big sister was something he had done many times before.
Once Xinkui had fully recovered his composure, he held nothing back, pouring out everything he knew to Zhou Baiyu.
He also asked many questions, showing a longing for the outside world.
After such emotional highs and lows, it was natural to want to confide in someone, fearing being stretched too thin.
Zhou Baiyu knew that he had already spent a lot of time here, but suspected it would still be a while before he could leave, so he was very patient.
Basically, he would satisfy whatever Xinkui wanted to know.
"How is our guild leader doing now? I'm telling you, Brother Jiang, I really admire our guild leader... even Tianxia Wuer envies his sabre."
Zhou Baiyu fought back a laugh, the sabre was in his own hands, if this kid woke up, would he be envious?
But he did not know if he could wake up, so he dared not give false hope.
All he said was,
"I've seen him, the guild leader is doing fine, not long ago he cleared an insane asylum in version 2.30, and even became friends with a different walker in the guild."
"They teamed up to clear two special modes, an endless mode, and an unfriendly mode. It's quite legendary."
Xinkui's interest was piqued:
"There's such a master in our guild? A Mutator?"
"Yes, a recent newcomer, identified by the guild leader's discerning eye, even Tianxia Wuer was competing to recruit him. When you get out, I'll introduce you..."
After finishing the last sentence, Zhou Baiyu suddenly regretted it a little. It was still uncertain whether they could get out.
Fortunately, at this moment, Xinkui's enthusiasm was elsewhere:
"To be able to help and support the guild leader... seems like it's not the profession that's weak, it's me that's weak..."
No, believe me, you are strong to have persisted in such a hellish place without turning into a Dark Breed.
This damned profession is really weak.
Zhou Baiyu mocked internally.
Xinkui then kept talking to Zhou Baiyu about the legendary different walker who was just like the guild leader.
"What does a seductress taste like... I'm so envious."
"The Gu Tower? The one where no newcomer can come back alive? Awesome!"
"It's a shame I can't get out... I really want to meet this big shot."
"A demon gathering? He killed so many Demon Kings by himself?"
"Absolute Moment? Sister Lin mentioned it! It's one of the strongest abilities the Mutators have! That's so cool!"
"The real world got twisted too? Ah... to be able to deal with Demon Kings faster than Tianxia Wuer, he's really too strong, we Mutators have such incredible people too!"
"Sister Lin would probably be very proactive and enthusiastic to meet her, right? I don't think Sister Lin has ever smiled at me..."
The last sentence made Zhou Baiyu feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, he couldn't help but find Xinkui endearing, as this was the first Mutator he had ever met.
When I take you out of here, I'll tell you who that Mutator really is.
Zhou Baiyu silently promised himself.
In this place, all promises only feel safe to utter in the moment they come true.
Giving people hope and expectation was tantamount to hurting them.
In the Land of No Light, hope and pain had become synonymous, causing its people to gradually become distorted and deformed.
Zhou Baiyu took a deep breath:
"If you want to know about the outside world, just ask me, I also know Wake from Dreams, know many people..."
"By the way, there are a lot of interesting things in the real world too."
"You can ask me anything, but Xinkui, I have questions for you too, don't worry, I'm not going to drag you into any crazy stuff, but I need to know, have you experienced anything while you've been here for so long? Do you know some information... like how to leave this place?"
Zhou Baiyu began to talk about the main issue.
This time Xinkui had no secrets:
"Years ago, there was someone here... who brought hope to everyone, he escaped a dream once, woke up once..."
Xinkui dropped a bombshell with just one sentence.
Zhou Baiyu pressed for more:
"How did he escape the dream?"
There was sadness in Xinkui's tone:
"His name was Jin Yi, he told everyone that there must be a moon in this world, and he would show it to everyone... He was a very passionate man, and at that time he and Yun Duo together, convinced everyone here."
"He said that the god was afraid of the light, that's why it tried to snatch away the light from everyone. God was also afraid of everyone waking up, only by waking up and shining light... the god would become weak."
"His words were crazy, but he really had that Infectious Power, as if he could convince everyone."
"Everyone absolutely trusted him, believed what he said was true, and so they all began to recall the good things in life..."
"Bit by bit, every person started to awaken and reclaim hope, finally mustering the courage... to entrust everything to Jin Yi."
"For that moment, the Land of No Light was like a Land of Light... a massive radiance converged on Jin Yi, allowing him to wake up."
