Chapter 936: Chapter 936: Isolation

Beside Lu Yuwen, Su Man listened to his words, silently widened her eyes, and gently nudged him with her elbow, whispering, “…You don’t want the game to end either?”

“How could that be?” Lu Yuwen smiled and shook his head, “As long as the game exists one more day, countless people will lose their lives. Of course, I hope the world returns to normal soon. I was just trying to analyze Bai Youwei’s psychology, and I think I can understand it. Of course, it’s normal for the public not to accept it.”

Su Man sighed, “Alas, it’s a pity that we’ve become commoners and can’t help her.”

“Even if you weren’t commoners, I wouldn’t recommend you trying to help.” Yan Qingwen glanced at her, “The final battle is extremely dangerous. You’re the only daughter in your family and not suitable to fight.”

Su Man pouted and retorted, “If we don’t fight, will we survive? We’re still just waiting to die…”

Zhu Shu asked Yan Qingwen, “Is there any way we can help Weiwei?”

She was very anxious and added, “If I go and clarify to everyone that there’s something wrong with that recording, will anyone believe it?”

Yan Qingwen glanced around and said unexcitedly, “Do you think Professor Song targeted the King because he discovered those recordings?”

“Isn’t it?” Zhu Shu stared at him, puzzled.

Yan Qingwen continued, “His research group must have discovered something recently… Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a suicidal approach. I think Bai Youwei will have to choose to surrender this time.”

“We are just about to reach the fourth battle, surrender now?” Zhu Shu was astonished, “Weiwei would never agree.”

Su Man also couldn’t hold back, “Yeah, Brother Yan, that’s a terrible idea! We’re about to win, and surrendering now would mean all our efforts were wasted!”

Lu Yuwen pondered for a moment and suggested, “If we can find out the progress of the research group, maybe we can understand Professor Song’s true intention.”

Looking around at each other, they almost unanimously said–

“Find Li Li.”

As Song Mingchuan’s former capable assistant, after Song Mingchuan fell seriously ill and was bedridden, Li Li had become a backbone of the research group. If anyone knew anything, it would be Li Li.

…

Meanwhile, Asarina and Along also heard about the recordings.

The matter spread far and wide, and translating it into English wasn’t hard to understand. Even Leonid privately asked Shen Mo: does Bai Youwei really think so?

Doesn’t she want the game to end?

Doesn’t she look forward to the world recovering?

How could someone think like this?

Zhu Shu believed that it was a momentary lapse for Bai Youwei, but others found it hard to understand or accept Bai Youwei’s extreme ideas.

It’s like a group of people who enlisted to fight the enemy, only to have their commanding general say, he fights because he enjoys fighting, and it doesn’t matter if the enemy lives or dies…

Their faith collapsed.

In English, Asarina asked Shen Mo if the recording was truly Bai Youwei’s, and if it had been tampered with.

Having received an affirmative response, Asarina expressed that she and Along wanted to go home; they could no longer fight for Bai Youwei.

Even if they stayed reluctantly, Bai Youwei wouldn’t be able to recruit enough subjects and was ultimately headed for a dead end. Asarina felt there was little significance in them staying.

These were the words Asarina said directly to Shen Mo. She had hoped to hear Bai Youwei’s explanation but had not been able to see Bai Youwei.

After the incident, Bai Youwei had moved into a dollhouse and refused to see anyone.

Without defending herself with even a single word, not expecting forgiveness, nor beseeching for sympathy, she completely isolated herself from the outside world.

She isolated herself not only from insults but also from the concern of her friends.
