Chapter 424 - 284 Black Water Swamp
The next day, even Rod felt somewhat drained.
Having unlocked all her moves, Molly was exhausted. After taking a hot bath, she came to Rod, pressed against his robust chest to sense for a while, then said with some disappointment, "Spiritual Energy hasn’t increased."
Rod said somewhat angrily, "Do you think I’m a breeding pig? That this would increase power? Then wouldn’t I reach the sky?"
Molly fell silent, then suddenly said after a moment, "Is it because I’m not a virgin... I’ll go find some..."
That was simply too morbid. Rod couldn’t help but bark, "Enough! Molly, people are not tools. If we have no bottom line, even if we achieve a temporary victory, we will ultimately descend into darkness."
Molly was silent for a few seconds before speaking softly, "Rod, you don’t know the true despair. In such a crisis, what’s this? Cannibalism, souls devouring each other, swathes of people falling like wheat..."
"Do you know how big the flesh of a million people squished together is when the Outer City was breached seven years ago? One hundred yards... Just one hundred yards wide. If you had seen that bloody mass of flesh, you wouldn’t have any psychological burdens about this."
Rod touched his forehead and sighed, "I’m sorry, I can’t imagine it... But I tell you, it really has nothing to do with what you’re thinking, at most a little bit on a psychological level, and that’s only about your feelings for you."
Molly suddenly showed a hint of a smile, fleeting though it was, she indeed smiled.
"I understand."
She stood up, dressed herself, put on the Wind Black Silk, and wore her gold-rimmed glasses, once again becoming the refined, serious, and imposing female assistant.
