Chapter 273 I Won't Cry (2/2)
Reading Settings
Wei Chi disagreed with her statement: "Crying does not mean weakness, but rather it is releasing the negative energy that has been suppressed in your heart."
Only by releasing all negative energy can your heart become stronger, and you won't let negative energy invade you again.
Moody looked up at him, tears welling in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.
She said, "I won't cry. I'm upset because I keep discovering the ugliness and malice of human nature. But not everyone is so malice; there are still good people."
I will strive to become stronger, and use my meager strength to protect those who need protection.
Looking at the stubborn girl with tears in her eyes, Wei Chi felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to reach out and pat her head, but he ultimately restrained himself.
He smiled and said, "I believe you can do it. Don't cry, just do what makes you feel better. Can you tell me what you all went through today?"
Moody sat up straight and asked him in return, "When you went to the underground river, where did you enter from? When you came out, did you see anything terrifying?"
Wei Chi thought of the passage they had used to come out, and he looked at her: "Yes. We went down into the sewers of a vegetable market. The passage was very difficult to navigate, but we didn't encounter any scary scenes on the way there."
On the way back, we took another passage and encountered many rotten pieces of meat, which smelled extremely foul.
The place we went out into was a human processing plant, and that's when we learned that those rotting chunks of flesh were actually human tissue... So, you encountered these too?"
Moody shook his head slightly, then told him about what they had encountered that day, and Wei Chi frowned: "You... took too much risks."
Snake holes, leech holes, and then those other things—no wonder my sister-in-law and she looked so pale. No wonder Ye Ling said they were terrified today.
Let alone girls, even grown men would be terrified if they encountered this, and might even be more frightened than them.
He told Moody, "You shouldn't be so stubborn. If you're not mentally strong enough, you'll scare yourself into making a mess of things."
Moody said, "At first I thought we were just being brave, but now I think we were pretty brave. We got through such a scary place, so even if we encounter scary scenes in the future, they probably won't be any scarier than what we encountered today."
Consider this a kind of experience; once we recover, we'll have transformed.
After talking to Wei Chi, the suppressed emotions I felt earlier eased considerably.
She gave him a slight smile and said, "Thank you, Wei Chi, I'm much better. How was your day?"
Seeing that her mood had improved, Wei Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't been able to comfort her, seeing her mood improve made him feel better too.
"We're alright, after all, it's our area of expertise, and with Captain Chu and Captain You's connections, those people wouldn't dare to resist..."
In the restaurant.
After seeing that Moody's mood had improved, Ye Ling withdrew her divine sense and said to Wen Mengxia, "She is more persistent than we thought, and she has almost adjusted herself."
Wen Mengxia asked, "Was Wei Chi with her?"
Ye Ling nodded: "Yes. Fortunately, she doesn't reject his approach, and fortunately, she's willing to talk to people. Otherwise, if she kept suppressing herself, something would have happened sooner or later."
Wen Mengxia: "Yes, I feel much better after I told Mo Qing about what happened today. If I hadn't told her, I was really worried that I would have nightmares and be traumatized."
