When Randall once again came to the windy mountain in his dream, he knew clearly that the nightmare of his mother's death would be like a bone maggot, which would haunt him for the rest of his life, and it would never disappear.

Looking at the corpse hanging from the old tree with a crooked neck, Randall was pale and expressionless, knelt down and mumbled something.

"Why are human beings... so afraid of aliens?"

An abrupt voice suddenly came from the fog, causing Randall to look up.

The male ghost terrifying claw came from the darkness, staring at Randall and said: "Humans, even their own flesh and blood, as long as they are different from themselves, will be abandoned and hated."

Randall asked softly: "Why are you here?"

Standing under the old tree, You Ying asked back: "You should ask yourself, why did you appear here?"

Randall asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Our clan prefers to absorb the negative emotions of other creatures. For us, fear, sadness, jealousy, doubt... are like a good wine man meeting old wine, but my favorite emotion is still guilt."

"Your saint king, that single person facing the existence of the Quartet leader, once told me that guilt is the strongest of all human emotions, and it is more than fear."

Randall frowned and asked: "The leader of the Quartet? Who are they? Wait a minute! You said the Holy King once talked to you? You will think and talk like humans?! I always thought that the beasts were..."

"The beasts are a group of stupid animals that are as stupid as pigs and can be slaughtered?" You Ying Jiejie smiled: "Thousands of years have passed, and humans are still so arrogant and arrogant."

"The eye of **** in your mouth leads directly to the world 10,000 meters deep underground, where the environment is harsh, resources are scarce, and tens of thousands of powerful and diverse biological races are fighting and engulfing each other."

Randall's throat was a little dry: "Why didn't you come to the ground?"

You Ying explained: "We races called war beasts had to flee underground in order to avoid the war. Some of us have slowly degenerated intellect and become creatures like wild beasts, desperately thinking. Climb to the ground; there are still some who know clearly what fate is, no longer expect the light, and completely fall into the darkness."

"The holy king in your mouth brought the instructions of our ancient gods. As a member of the gods, he hopes to build an orderly world where all races can coexist peacefully without worrying about a world where extinction occurs."

You Ying sat down cross-legged, stroking her tentacles, and whispered: "Sounds a good idea, doesn't it? However, the four leaders of the Eye of Hell, no matter which one thinks your Holy King is lying. Human beings are a cunning, cruel, and unbelieving race, which has almost become the consensus of all races in the underground world."

Randall shook his head and said, "Times have changed."

You Ying shook his tail: "You can't blame the caution and vigilance of the underground races. After all, the painful memories of the past have deeply imprinted fear and pain in our souls."

"Under such circumstances, your holy king made a suggestion. Let the underground race send some observers to the human kingdom to investigate what the world looks like now."

You Ying pointed her paw at herself: "So, I'm here."

Randall said sadly: "Then why do you want to follow me and let me experience the sufferings of the past time and time again?"

You Ying was stunned: "Do you think this nightmare is my work? No, no, you are wrong, I am not your god, I have no ability to create the soul world. This dream itself exists deep in your consciousness. At best, I can only be regarded as a guest here."

Randall stared at the old tree in front of him blankly: "You mean, everything here is my own thoughts?"

"After the Quartet Commander and the Saint King reached an agreement, I mixed with those low-level beasts and came to Twilight City, pretending to be tamed and controlled, actually watching the world carefully with my eyes."

"The Holy King gave me a certain amount of freedom. Without hurting the people of his kingdom, I can follow the army to move around. And among so many observation targets, you are my most satisfactory result?"

"I?"

You Ying shook his head: "In you, I saw the incredible side of human beings."

"Your holy king, when he met with the leader of the Quartet, he once said such a sentence. He said that human beings are not purely evil, nor are they purely kind. It is like the front and back of a coin, with both light and dark."

You Ying nodded in agreement and said: "At first I didn't understand these words, but through observing you, I gradually figured out this statement."

You Ying stood up, turned to the darkness, and said to Randall, "Human, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute!"

Randall hurriedly asked: "If you absorb negative emotions, then tell me, how can I escape this guilty nightmare?"

You Ying turned her head and looked at Randall with pitch-black eyes: "Escape? You can never escape from guilt, because you can never get rid of your past."

"Then what should I do...?"

"Wait, wait for the moment destined to come."

"What? What does this mean?!"

"Waiting... then... knowing."

The shadow of the shadow completely disappeared into the darkness.

Randall opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, he woke up from his dream, sat up on the bed, and looked at the nothingness in the room.

Barbara, who was sleeping next to Randall, was awakened by his movements and opened her eyes in a daze. While covering her unworn body with a bedding, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Randall's ear still seemed to be reverberating with the sound of the nightmare wind. He rubbed the roots of his ears with his hands, trying to drive this hallucination from his head.

"I had a nightmare... but everything has passed."

Barbara held Randall's arm ~lightnovelpub.net~ and helped him slowly lie down, resting her head on the other person's chest and asking, "Or the past related to your mother?"

Randall hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Barbara's pointed ears trembled slightly, her white jade-like arms wrapped around Randall's neck, pressed her body against the opponent's chest, and whispered, "You must try to walk out."

Randall closed his eyes and sighed, "No matter where I go, the past is like a shadow."

Barbara put her mouth close to Randall's ear: "It won't be long before you and I will have a gift from the future, which can dispel all the haze of the past."

Randall opened his eyes. "A gift for the future?"

Barbara gently kissed Randall's side cheek, and said softly: "When the time comes, you will naturally know."

After she said this, she moved her right hand down, gently covering her belly.
