Chapter 420
Humans have the capacity to be kind. So many people throughout history have displayed altruism, dying without regrets for justice and what they strongly believed in. Even if they were slowly skinned to death, they were still able to face it with a smile. Some were even able to leave behind encouraging words despite being at the verge of death, etching their names in history.
Humans have the capacity to be evil. So many people throughout history have chosen profit over loyalty, shown bottomless greed, stooped to the lowest level in order to satisfy their desires. Even if thousands of people cursed at them, they continued to enjoy their lives. They continued to yearn for incredible power and unimaginable wealth even on their deathbeds, even if they left behind a nasty reputation for centuries to come.
The heart of man is ever changing and difficult to predict. Even though Su Jin had psychokinesis, a power that could read the thoughts of others, he dared not claim to be able to truly understand the hearts of people.
He would rather let them display their true beliefs instead. That’s why he gave Lv Meng the ability to create explosions. She certainly had high ideals, but they were also way removed from reality. Su Jin wanted to know if she would really do what she said if she were given the power to do so.
The group plodded on in the moonlight. Nobody dared to stop walking, because they were afraid that they would turn into a monster immediately. They had no choice but to keep walking.
At the same time, strange emotions began to fill their hearts. They were the monsters of the Challenge, so did that mean there would be no more monsters if they killed the other owners?
Su Jin wasn’t the only one with such thoughts. Li Yi was thinking the same way too, except that this thought was thrown out very quickly. He was a veteran, so he knew that the other owners were relying on him. The sense of responsibility he felt made him get rid of that thought immediately. Compared to Lv Meng’s idealistic and unrealistic thinking, Li Yi’s sense of responsibility was a lot more realistic.
But these thoughts grew stronger and stronger in the minds of the other weak owners, except that they weren’t thinking about how to kill the other owners. They were wondering if Su Jin and Li Yi would kill them. They were terrified of that possibility. If two veterans decided to turn on them, they would die in an instant.
Su Jin could even sense the fear of these people very clearly. He frowned slightly, but did not bother to talk about it. There was no point in doing so, since nobody would want to admit to having such thoughts. Even though he was a psychokinetic owner, none of these people would take his word for it.
