Chapter 391: Chapter 388: The Power of Desperation, Bai Fa Appears 2_1

Every moment of Tang Ye’s life over the past several decades was deeply imprinted in his mind: those smiling faces, those crying faces, the innocence from the start of his memory, the loneliness that almost consumed him when he first arrived in Lin City, the gradual erosion of his humanity after becoming a zombie, all of it came rushing back in a torrent now!

The way each place made him feel, each time he laughed or cried; these vivid memories of his fragmented life kept swirling around his mind. The people he met, their names, constantly interweaving!

Finally, his memory took him back to Honglin High School, the smiling face of that girl, her reliance on him, her kindness, which pulled Tang Ye back from the brink of losing all his humanity!

That farewell seemed to be Tang Ye’s last hope. He hadn’t noticed before why he would want to live after becoming a zombie. His aimless existence was like a small boat lost in a vast ocean, devoid of homes to return to, lacking in attachments, and devoid of purposes and destinations!

Shouldn’t he give up? Why should Tang Ye continue to live?

He couldn’t figure it out, but in this moment, everything became clear—it was all for that word, "Goodbye"!

Everything he had done was to fulfill that girl’s innocent wish, wasn’t it? All he wanted was that goodbye she spoke of!

They would surely meet again!

In his devastated life, the plain warmth in the dormitory of Honglin High School became Tang Ye’s last lifeline!

Violence and rage constantly eroded his humanity, but that warmth was also desperately pulling him back to his remaining human nature!

In his mind, he heard the voices of everyone he met in his life talking incessantly. It was a blur of chaotic noise that caused Tang Ye unbearable pain!

Such contradiction! It was too much contradiction!

At this moment, Tang Ye’s state of mind was like a string. On one end, the emotionless roar of the zombie nature was pulling him, and on the other, his shattered human nature was fiercely resisting!

The instant Changjue’s foot stepped on the rubber band, Tang Ye was overcome with despair. All his hope vanished at that moment. That footstep wasn’t merely an insult; it also shattered his aspirations for the future!

The images in his mind were flashing faster and faster. By the end, Tang Ye could barely remember who he was. But then Ning Yu’er’s smiling face appeared, filling his mind!

That smile was from the moment she turned around on Hongyi Street. Her smile was faint, but her eyes held a myriad of emotions.

Reluctance? Longing? Fear? Worry? Sorrow? Or even a hint of love?

So many, too many, Tang Ye could no longer discern. That moment in his mind was like an aged, yellowed photograph. Even though it was frozen in time, it was still somewhat blurred.

That moment in Tang Ye’s mind was initially just slowed down a little, then quickly dashed...

Changjue twisted his foot harshly on the rubber band. Seeing the ground beneath being churned up, he felt nothing anymore.

Tang Ye couldn’t articulate his feelings right now. Sad? Heartbroken? Humiliated? No! It was despair!

At the moment Changjue stepped on the rubber band, it had a clear place in his heart—it was his hope! His desire to survive!

The scenes that kept surfacing in his mind just now made Tang Ye realise that his life wasn’t entirely devoid of perfection. There was, it was just faint, so faint that Tang Ye didn’t dare to face it, and simply chose to ignore it.

But what couldn’t be denied was that it was always there in his life!

It was just that Tang Ye hadn’t perceived it yet!

He loathed perfection, especially others’ perfection. But he also yearned to have the perfection others had. As a human, he never dared to reveal the darkness in his heart, hiding it deep within. After becoming a zombie, this darkness gradually surfaced over time.

Everyone shares one characteristic, we are particularly fascinated by what we lack, no matter how trivial it is. Even if it’s lacking, everyone wants to obtain it. This is the pursuit of perfection, and it is human nature.

Tang Ye had this characteristic now, which meant, his humanity was still there!

But it was this humanity that made him feel despair because he had put all the little perfection he had into this rubber band. When it was trampled upon by others, he wanted to tear the perpetrator apart, but his strength wouldn’t allow it!

Tang Ye realised he had perfection too. He hadn’t noticed before, but now he did, and he longed to re-experience it. But the method to re-experience was of course not time travel but to go out!

It wasn’t just a passing fancy. Right now, he missed Ning Yu’er dearly, missed the bit of tenderness she gave him. He wanted to go out! He wanted to see her!

This desire was growing stronger! But how was he to see her?

He had to go out!

But how could he get out? His immense, arrogant strength was nothing in front of Changjue. He couldn’t escape! He couldn’t fight!

But the desire in his heart was growing stronger!

Caught in this vicious cycle, Tang Ye was filled with despair, breaking through his mental defenses!

Ah!

He lifted his head, his eyes, filled with resentment, locked onto Changjue and Yinxiang behind him.

So perfect! It was too perfect!

They were indeed a match made in heaven! Unfortunately, this perfection was not his, and its possessor was destroying his weak fragment of perfection!

How could he tolerate this?

"Get your foot off!" He roared, his voice hoarse like the growl of a dying beast.

Changjue’s eyes filled with mockery as he pressed down harder with his foot on the rubber band.

"Let go? I wouldn’t. Do you understand your situation?"

"You’re just a weakling, and I am a God? How can an ant contend with God? Killing you would take but a snap of my fingers!"

Changjue spoke with ridicule, while Yinxiang next to him looked on indifferently. Only when she looked at Changjue, her beautiful eyes were filled with deep affection.

"Hahaha, you’re a God?"

Tang Ye wanted to laugh, but after laughing for a bit, his earlier momentum shrank back.

"Perhaps...that’s right, I’m an ant. But, ants can bite too! Get your foot off, I want to live!"

"Live? Do you think you have a chance? Despair, the persistence in you has grown heavier. I quite like that!"

Upon hearing Changjue’s words, Tang Ye was filled with intense despair. His words just now implied a question to Changjue, but the answer was already clear.

Regrets filled Tang Ye’s mind, making him lose control. With numerous thoughts flooding his mind, just as Tang Ye was about to give up, suddenly, Changjue twisted his foot on the rubber band again, yanking out a few strands of fuzz from the band.

Boom!

Tang Ye’s head felt like it exploded. The despair built up inside him slowly broke the dam and gushed out. He wanted to roar, but no sound came out. His anger, his rage, resurfaced again, channelling his despair, and astonishingly triggered the anti-life substances within his body!

They sensed their host’s unbearable pain and began to spin rapidly, providing Tang Ye with an explosive, overload of power!
