As the alarm clock rang, everyone scrambled to get up, feeling somewhat inadequate as they looked at Luo Qianqian and her group, already standing there.

However, upon closer inspection, they also saw the shadow not far away.

Apocalypse countdown, one minute.

Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but still walked over there; Yan’s Adam’s apple moved, but he said nothing, while Mo’s outstretched hand dropped, quietly watching Luo Qianqian walk over step by step, as time ticked away. With the final countdown ringing out, Luo Qianqian reached the man’s side, staring at his withered face, stunned for a long time.

This is my peer, how did he become like a walnut shell? Even the elders in their family didn’t look like this, right?

It’s not just the condition of his skin, but his eyes too, full of vicissitudes.

"You..."

"Time’s up."

Luo Qianqian had just spoken when the other party opened his mouth, and a foul stench immediately assaulted her, causing Luo Qianqian to cover her nose, frowning slightly. This smell was beyond description by mere bad breath; it was a putrid, decayed odor, not something brushing one’s teeth could fix.

The next second, before Luo Qianqian could say anything, she saw the person’s eyes turn completely black, with no trace of the whites left.

She instantly retreated; it was clear communication was impossible now.

The crack in the sky tore open wider in an instant, and in just a moment, groups of Exotic Beasts appeared upon the earth. Different this time, the Exotic Beasts were much smaller in size.

Accompanying the Exotic Beasts came masses of black fog, and Luo Qianqian’s face turned black instantly; it was obvious that this was crucial.

Unlike before, the gate didn’t immediately disappear after these things appeared; instead, it partially closed like a door being shut, ready to reopen at any moment.

Yet this time, because of the proximity, they could clearly see the crack wasn’t above the horizon but emerged from the air.

The years of academic knowledge seemed wasted, as the scene in front of them struck harshly into the eyes of everyone present.

Simultaneously, powerful lighting shot from all angles, forcing those used to living in sunlight to cover their eyes, shield their gaze, and more so for the life forms from the Otherworld?

Dazed by the strong light for a moment, they finally reacted, but it was obvious that after sensing the brightness, the Exotic Beasts grew more excited, and immediately five Exotic Beasts roared at the sky.

Even the prepared five people were shaken to the ground.

Nearby light bulbs shattered in countless numbers, and even suspension lights fell due to the shock, plunging the scene into chaos, and the lights on the field were able to accept some of it.

Wiping the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, Luo Qianqian felt a surge of shock inside.

The clear issue was that these smaller Exotic Beasts were stronger!

"Exotic Beast General, be careful," Yan shouted loudly at Luo Qianqian, because even though they were prepared, they were still temporarily deafened by the roar. If not shouted, they couldn’t hear.

And his legs were trembling slightly, a determined look visible in their eyes upon careful inspection. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Exotic Beast General, compared to Exotic Beasts, had an additional attack - sonic attack.

This sonic attack wouldn’t cause any physical harm, but it would induce negative emotions, making people subdued and dejected, losing their fight.

Huangfu Yihui tightly gripped his long whip, but at this moment, his wrist was trembling too.

He inexplicably felt that perhaps they would die here.

Slowly kneeling on the ground, tears streamed down his face.

He thought of his family, his father, his mother, those who wanted to turn him into a Puppet; perhaps it was for his own good...

Looking at the powerful Exotic Beasts now, how could they be opponents for these beings; was dying senselessly a wise choice?

He didn’t want to die here...

Aside from Huangfu Yihui, there were quite a few who lost their combat power, indeed it could be said most.

The majority knelt down, perhaps surrounded by enemies was this situation...

Luo Qianqian also inexplicably shed tears.

Why didn’t she obediently be a college student? Or why did she always portray herself so outstandingly? If not this way, would everything be different now?

No grandparents, no Luo Family, just her with mother and brother...

The three of them, even ordinary, full of happiness, mother loving, children obedient...

Should she not exist? Why does she exist? If she weren’t here, would mother and brother be happier?

"Yes, without you, we’d be so happy, you’re just a burden."

"Without you, I would have enjoyed life long ago, is it necessary to work myself to death here raising you?"

"If you weren’t here, I would have new clothes, I’d have meat, a lot of good things to eat, why did you come out and divide what was originally mine? You being here means everything has to be given to you, whether it’s delicious or fun, you treat us like this, do you deserve us? Why should we live for you?"

"Why don’t you die?"

Yes, why don’t I die?

Luo Qianqian’s eyes gradually lost their luster, in front of her flickered two hunched, elderly figures, scolding her again and again, harsh words poured down like rain, pounding on her heart.

It’s mother, it’s brother.

Why does she exist? If she wasn’t here, mother and brother would be happy, eating better, and mother could often buy new clothes.

Yes, and brother, brother is a good student, mother has always been proud of brother.

It’s her, it’s all her fault, why deprive brother of his right to education?

If she wasn’t here, if she was never here, brother could study well, enter a desired college, find a suitable job, and eventually marry a virtuous wife, be filial to mother?

That shrew...

Luo Qianqian’s face twisted into an unfathomable smile, tears continuously falling from her eyes, her gaze vacant, devoid of any emotion.

Whether it was remorse or hatred or loss, whether positive emotions or negative, there were none at all.

The connection weakened, Tang Guo suddenly appeared beside Luo Qianqian, caught off guard by the girl who didn’t seem like herself, momentarily surprised.

Floating in front of her, listening to her mumble repeatedly: "Mom, I’m sorry, brother, I’m sorry, mom, I’m sorry..."
