Chapter 1368: Such Are the Rules

"Heh, rules? Aren't the rules of your world also that the strong are respected?" Xiaowei turned her head to stare at Li Jie: "I haven't locked you up just because I feel you are different."

"But this is not a reason for you to question me. Who gave you the courage to dare to question me like this?"

"I don't understand if this world is one where the strong are respected; I only know that since you were born in our world of ordinary people, you must abide by everything in our world."

Li Jie looked at her coldly: "Everything you are doing now has already violated the laws of our world."

"Perhaps you are right; in your world, ordinary people have the survival laws of ordinary people," Xiaowei said leisurely.

"But isn't the fate you ordinary people are born with just like this? Facing the strong, you have no way to resist at all."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Flames of anger erupted from Li Jie's eyes.

For the past few days, she had been trapped in this cave, and she had seen with her own eyes how this Demon harmed people.

Before her eyes, at least six people had fallen here, and most of these people were male.

She did not know why Xiaowei let her move freely inside the cave, but she felt that one day, she too would not escape the fate of being drained of her essence, energy, and spirit until death.

"I want to become a human," Xiaowei sighed slightly: "The world I come from is the Dark World."

"That world has no laws; the only law is that after growing up, one is devoured by the Dark World. Even the strongest Dark Creature cannot escape this final fate."

"You probably don't know how many people want to escape that world," Xiaowei paused and said.

"Dark World?" Li Jie's brows locked slightly, although she had been trapped here for several days, and although she knew Xiaowei was not human.

She saw Xiaowei constantly killing people, to the point where she had even become numb, but she still did not know what kind of background the other party had.

It was not until she heard the term "Dark World" that she vaguely understood a little.

"Yes, the Dark World," Xiaowei said leisurely: "This world actually overlaps with your world, but everyone comes from different dimensional spaces."

"If nothing unexpected happens, everyone might never have any intersection. The creatures of our world are divided into different ranks, just like your world; humans dominate everything, and all other creatures are mere ants."

"After we grow to a certain degree, the survival laws of the Dark World will automatically activate and ruthlessly devour us. We are just like things raised in captivity by higher-level creatures."

"So how did you escape that world?" Li Jie suddenly felt some sympathy for the Xiaowei before her.

Although she killed without blinking, it seemed she also had unavoidable hardships.

Perhaps in her view, everything she did was just to survive.

"An accident," Xiaowei smiled and said: "Most Dark Creatures are just like the animals of your world, without any intelligence."

"But in fact, our world also has the existence of civilization. A small number of Dark Creatures can think, and as it happens, I belong to that kind."

"Once, I was accidentally swept into a space-time rift and came to this world. When I arrived here, I discovered that this place is almost heaven."

"There is endless delicious food here that I can enjoy to my heart's content, and I can even turn into a human and blend in among you."

"How did you turn into a human?" Li Jie asked.

"It was the owner of this skin. One night I accidentally saw her, and I felt this skin was very beautiful, so I occupied her," Xiaowei pointed at herself.

She reached her hands behind her back, as if unbuttoning clothes, and immediately after, a human skin was pulled off her body.

And she revealed her original appearance, an extremely terrifying and ferocious face.

Her true face had no skin, and drops of blood-red liquid trickled down her body.

Li Jie's face turned deathly pale; she involuntarily took a few steps back, terrified by everything before her.

"Heh, did I scare you?" Seeing her appearance, Xiaowei put the human skin back on.

And she turned back into that charming appearance; she smiled slightly, looking charming and moving.

But Li Jie did not dare to look her in the eye anymore; after experiencing that scene just now, she could no longer treat her as a normal person.

"As long as I absorb the essence, energy, and spirit of 99 people, I will become a human. Although this goal seems far away, if no one interferes, perhaps it will be very soon," Xiaowei said leisurely.

"You cannot do this; you have no right to deprive others of their lives," Li Jie mustered her courage.

"Heh, I have no right to deprive others of their lives?" Xiaowei laughed. She raised her head and stared at Li Jie: "Then what about you? What about you people?"

"You are the masters of this world; you can wantonly hunt other animals and make them the delicious food on your plates."

"When you deprive other lives, have you ever thought that those animals you killed also have lives?"

"That's different..." Li Jie tried to explain, but she suddenly felt that what Xiaowei said did not seem wrong either.

Yes, humans are the spiritual leaders of all things in this world, enjoying unique rights.

Many lives are, to humans, nothing more than delicious food on a plate.

And to satisfy their own gluttony, many animals are kept in captivity.

One person does not know how many lives are filled in their belly.

Compared to Xiaowei, humans might be even more cruel, but what is terrifying is that humans actually think their slaughter is normal.

"What is different? It is the same slaughter of life, only you kill animals, while I kill humans," Xiaowei laughed.

"You humans often consider yourselves the masters of this world; you think killing is a matter of course."

"And in my eyes, your lives are no different from animals, so I also don't think there is anything wrong with what I am doing."

Li Jie bit her lip and said nothing. She knew Xiaowei was wrong, but she did not know how to refute her.

"I will still maintain my point of view," Li Jie sighed and said: "Perhaps you can solve your problem with other methods. As long as you become a human, you won't kill anymore, right?"

"Other methods? They can't solve it. But I still want to tell you a very cruel fact, which is that even if I really become a human, I will still kill."

"Just like you humans, even if there are some things you don't like, you still won't let them go. Human greed is just like this, isn't it?"
