Chapter 863: Chapter 859 I Am the Hope of Humanity

"Do you need me?"

"Yes! I need you! There are still many things that are going to happen in the future. At first, I thought I could handle everything on my own, but gradually, I realized things were not that simple. It’s too terrifying. You should know what people fear the most, and that is the unknown! It’s the unknown! I began to fear. Since waking up, many things have already changed because of me, and there are many things yet to happen. However, the future’s trajectory has already deviated from its original course. I can no longer control it alone. I need someone to help me!"

As Su Sigui spoke these words, Tang Ye was listening, his face betraying no emotion, nor could anyone guess what he was thinking. If someone had the ability to read minds, they would feel the tumultuous waves in his heart!

At that moment, Tang Ye finally saw another side of Su Sigui. So, she also had something she feared. But how terrifying must something be to frighten a person who wasn’t even afraid of the Zombie King?

As for those things Su Sigui mentioned, Tang Ye was equally at a loss. After all, he knew nothing. Who knew what Su Sigui had experienced? What had happened before her time travel?

"You’ve shared your secret with me, which means you need my help. But what can I do to help you?"

"No... it’s not like that. You simply don’t know anything. Both you and I have heavy burdens on our shoulders, and yours is much heavier than mine. You just don’t know it yet."

"Oh? Why is that?" Tang Ye found it amusing. What is this about his burden being heavier than Su Sigui’s? What had he done?

"Do you know? You are now the only hope. I’ve lost faith in myself, but you, you have the potential!"

"Hope? You actually say I am hope?"

"I’m not very certain, but I’m willing to take the gamble. I’ve already told you my secret. I hope we can have a pact between us."

"What kind of pact?" Tang Ye asked. Making a pact with such a woman seemed intriguing.

"Promise me, to meet alive again! Most of humanity’s future rests on you!"

"But why?" Tang Ye couldn’t help but take Su Sigui seriously, his mood turning grave.

"No reason. Because of my arrival, too much has changed. Humanity’s hope had already died, and now you are the next one."

"Heh, so I am a part of the hope. Where is the other part?"

"It might be with me, but I can’t be sure of what I’ll become in the future, nor can I guarantee that I’ll still be alive then."

"I feel like you’re deceiving people. Remember, when the United District’s seven chairpersons attempted to annihilate the Peace Party, the people of the City of Bright Moon also got involved, didn’t they?"

Su Sigui shifted her gaze away from the night sky and looked at Tang Ye with a faint smile, "Then how many people did you see? What were they doing?"

Hearing her words, Tang Ye suddenly had nothing to say. When the United District launched their campaign to eliminate the Peace Party, he saw with his own eyes what the people from the City of Bright Moon were doing. To put it bluntly, they were just slacking off, barely making a show of participation.

Moreover, Su Sigui was known to be ruthlessly decisive, but she never showed the slightest intention to kill him—except when he presented as the Zombie King. He also didn’t understand why Su Sigui was so determined to kill the White-haired Zombie King. Had he done something using that identity, or had he done something before she traveled through time?

"Fine then, I want to know what kind of person I was before you traveled back in time."

"Before I traveled back, my understanding of you was very limited. However, the world viewed you as ruthless, brutal, the overlord of South China."

"The overlord of South China?" Tang Ye couldn’t help but grin. Perhaps that was indeed true, seeing as how many in the Central District already regarded him as the overlord of the United District. One day, it might indeed change to the overlord of South China.

"In your original timeline, Level 9 New Humans had already appeared. What happened at that time?"

"A lot happened. But you don’t need that expression. Whether it’s Level 9 New Humans or Level 9 zombies, they are both very powerful, though their numbers are few. There was only one Level 9 New Human."

"Just one? That few?"

"Yes. If you hadn’t died, you could have been the second Level 9 New Human."

"Who was the Level 9 New Human you mentioned?"

"I won’t tell you. You just need to know that there was a Level 9 Powerhouse who died a few years ago due to my arrival. In the future, with no Level 9 New Human, humanity is really like livestock in a pen, constantly waiting to be slaughtered."

"Evolving into a Level 9 New Human must be difficult, right?"

"Hmm." Su Sigui nodded, giving a noncommittal response to that question.

"So you lack confidence, even with a second chance, and that’s why you put your hope in me. Do you think I can evolve into a Level 9?"

"That’s one way to put it."

"I can only say I’ll do my best." Tang Ye shook his head. He could clearly understand from Su Sigui’s tone just how likely it was to evolve into a Level 9. However, he couldn’t guarantee anything about Su Sigui’s expectations.

"I’m very curious about what’s going to happen next."

"Don’t be curious. I won’t tell you. As time passes, you will find out."

"You won’t tell me? You’re probably deceiving me, right? Having fun with me? How can I believe you’re a time traveler if you don’t tell me what’s going to happen next? Do you think you can just claim to time travel like it’s something from a web novel?"

"Believe it or not, the butterfly effect is terrifying. Once I tell you, you might make different decisions at a critical juncture, altering other things. I’ve spoken. If you haven’t experienced it personally, you will never comprehend what it feels like to see time being changed before your very eyes. Alright, I’ve said enough. Our pact, and the future of humanity, I won’t bother whether you agree or not because when the time comes, you’ll have to make the same choice as I did. No reason. Because you are human! The rights, the position you hold, and all your emotions, they all stem from the whole of human society. Without people in human society, you’ll lose everything!"

Having said that, Su Sigui turned to leave. Tang Ye wanted to ask more, but he swallowed the words he was about to speak.

Power? Status? The things Tang Ye did weren’t for those reasons, perhaps they were for the sake of emotion.

He watched her move like a swallow, gracefully leaping from the rooftop to another building. But the moment her feet touched the ground, she stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Tang Ye, saying, "By the way, Li Henian, I bear no malice towards you or the Peace Party. I have never laid a hand on the Peace Party. Instead of suspecting outsiders, you might want to look inside the Central District to see how many existences lurk in the dark corners beyond your control."
