Chapter 444: A Reality She Didn't Want to Face

Smith died.

He exploded on the spot along with the rest of the pursuers after Adele got the answer she wanted.

After completing this trivial matter, Adele finally began to pay attention to Snow White.

At this moment, Snow White had bloodstains hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her clothes were torn to shreds from Smith's attacks.

But the most serious injury was the wrist that Smith had stepped on earlier.

Just looking at the palm twisting in a strange direction, one could tell that the bone was definitely broken.

"But it's not a big problem."

Saying that, Adele took out a bottle of potion, sprinkled it on Snow White's wrist, and then connected the bone with lightning speed.

"Ah~~!!!"

"Alright, you're fine now."

Adele, putting away the potion bottle, picked up the potion Snow White had wanted to drink earlier from the ground and handed it to her.

Snow White froze for a moment, then carefully moved her wrist slightly.

Although it was still a bit numb and itchy, there was no major problem moving it.

Facing the potion Adele handed over, she also very naturally reached out to take it.

Yes, this bottle of potion was also an inferior Healing Potion made by Cinderella.

"Right, Cinderella."

With her crisis resolved and even her injuries steadily improving, Snow White, having just breathed a sigh of relief, remembered her frenemy.

"I wonder how Cinderella is doing now."

Supporting herself on the tree behind her, Snow White struggled to stand up, intending to head towards the hill they had agreed upon.

But because her internal and external injuries had only just begun to heal, and her Health Value was only steadily rising, walking was a bit difficult.

If Adele hadn't immediately stepped forward to support her, she definitely would have fallen.

"Use the Flying Broom, it'll be faster. Just don't hold out too much hope."

Speaking of this matter, Adele's face was very serious.

And Snow White was also stunned for a moment by Adele's words.

Just now, before he died, Smith finally revealed under Adele's pressure why he insisted on pursuing and killing her.

To tell the truth.

If she hadn't been the person involved and almost died, she fundamentally wouldn't have believed that she was being hunted down for such a ridiculously stupid reason.

"Adele, do you think after over a year, there are still such stupid creatures in this world?"

Sitting on the Flying Broom, Snow White hugged Adele's waist, weakly resting her head on the other party's shoulder, and asked.

"As long as there are two different biological states of transmigrator and Evolver in this world, there will always be people who commit all sorts of stupid acts in their desire to climb higher."

"This has nothing to do with whether they are smart or not, or whether they can score high marks in school."

"It's purely ambition at work."

Adele spoke words that seemed somewhat philosophical, while Snow White behind her remained silent.

Difference, distinction...

People might be able to endure loneliness and hardship, but they cannot endure unfairness.

'Why can others be Evolvers, while I can only be an unevolved transmigrator, a primitive'.

Such discussions had appeared on the world channel more than once.

Rather, it had never stopped since Lan Qingyou founded the Witch race.

People could resort to any means in order to become Evolvers.

This was certainly due to the visible benefits such as racial talents, stat corrections, knowledge corrections, and experience corrections.

But even more so, it was because of their inner desires.

This is easy to understand; everyone has this or that desire.

But this was Snow White's first time encountering a desire so twisted, stupid, dark, and even disgusting.

Although Snow White had run from daytime to nighttime when she came, because they were riding a Flying Broom when they went back, their speed was more than just a little bit faster.

In a mere half an hour, the two arrived at the hill.

Blegh—

Just as Snow White, who only wanted to quickly find traces of Cinderella, jumped down, she saw a scene she didn't want to see in this lifetime.

Instantly, a wave of discomfort came from her stomach, and she threw up on the spot.

"This is Cinderella, right? I still remember the clothes she wore."

Adele landed next to Snow White, looking at the torn clothes and the scattered pile of white bones on the ground.

Adele had seen a lot of life-and-death situations. Although this was her first time seeing a scene like this, she at least didn't have as huge a reaction as Snow White.

"I originally came to deliver learning tutorials for new magic to you two, and casually drop off some alchemy materials I've gathered recently. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."

Adele smiled bitterly.

In fact, Adele's arrival in this region this time was indeed partly to deliver magic, Flying Brooms, and materials to Cinderella and Snow White, the two stubborn witches who insisted on not adding friends.

But even more so, it was because her card inventory was full, and she wanted to find a place to empty it out a bit.

After all, there were too few slots in the card, but throwing those materials away felt like a waste.

So she chose the closest route and flew directly here.

As a result, when she was almost there, she encountered the scene of Snow White being hunted, and now she encountered this scene.

To tell the truth, Adele didn't even know what she should do right now.

"Hehehe, Adele... can humans actually be creatures evil to this extent?"

Slumped on the ground, Snow White turned her head away after throwing up, not even daring to glance at her friend's current miserable state.

That was Cinderella.

Although only a pile of white bones remained, Snow White could still recognize her.

Not because of the clothes, books, and other leftover items serving as evidence, but simply because her intuition told her so.

Even if she really didn't want to admit it was her friend, there was nothing she could do.

In her heart, her friend was definitely still alive. So on the way here, holding onto a sliver of hope, she hadn't even checked if the contact on her card had disappeared.

But now...

She had been forced into a corner by reality. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, there was nothing she could do.

So she laughed, but she also cried.

Laughing at the absurdity of this world, and crying over her friend dying in such an inhumane way.

"Didn't I say it? In order to make themselves a higher existence, humans can do anything."

Adele said calmly, and then asked Snow White another question.

"What are your thoughts on what's next?"

"Thoughts?"

Snow White paused for a moment.

To tell the truth, she had never considered Cinderella's death, or herself being ambushed.

Being suddenly asked this made her, whose mind was already rather chaotic, even more at a loss.

"Yes, your friend is already dead, and now only you are left..."

"I... haven't thought about it yet."

"Then let's collect Cinderella's remains first. At the very least, we should bury her first."
