Zhou Bugui’s speech was like a bat smashing upon everyone’s heads.
Liu Kai was the one accusing Ji Fengyan; Liu Kai, who had always been the most protective over her…
In that moment, everyone fell into a deep silence, their eyes bearing a complicated expression as they looked at Ji Fengyan.
As reluctant as they were to believe it, Liu Kai’s and Zhou Bugui’s words had roused some misgivings within their hearts.
“Wait!” A red team youth sudden spoke up.
“I don’t believe that Fengyan is a demon. If she was one, there was absolutely no need for her to save us. We would long been devoured by those demons by that lake – it was completely unnecessary to set up such a devious trap.”
Zhou Bugui laughed coldly. “Demons are cunning. We had been battling to the death by the lake and they were also suffering heavy losses. If the fight had gone on, it would have been damaging to both sides. Being able to get us all without losing another demon soldier—do you think they are willing to sacrifice their own people unnecessarily?”
“I don’t care what you say, I just don’t believe it. If not for Fengyan, we would have long been dead. What devious plan. I completely don’t believe it.” The two youths from the red team refused to budge.
But Zhou Bugui turned toward Ji Fengyan and asked with disdain: “Ji Fengyan, do you have nothing to say for yourself?”
Ji Fengyan looked at Zhou Bugui and smirked.
“What can I say to an idiot?”
Zhou Bugui blanched as a malicious glint flashed across his eyes. He quickly laughed again.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I think most of them here also hope what Liu Kai says is not true, so…”
Zhou Bugui’s gaze landed upon Ji Fengyan’s armour seal at her neck area.
“Just activate the World-Termination-Armour in front of us, and we will believe you are not a demon.”
The gathering of youths all looked at Ji Fengyan. They had yet to say a word but their actions obviously indicated they all held some qualms toward Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan coldly surveyed the crowd, her smirk widened.
“Zhou Bugui.”
Zhou Bugui narrowed his eyes.
“Someone fancies himself a smart guy—do you know how laughable that is?” Ji Fengyan propped up her chin while looking at Zhou Bugui.
Zhou Bugui’s expression darkened as he said gravely, “I don’t think I am very smart. I hope you understand all this is just to dispel the doubts of everyone here. After all, we must all listen to your directions from this point on. If we don’t eliminate those misgivings now, I am afraid things won’t come to a happy end.”
Ji Fengyan laughed coldly.
The hearts of the onlooking youths wavered.
“Well… I think there must be some misunderstanding here… Ji Fengyan doesn’t seem like a demon.”
“You are right. I also feel… it is completely unnecessary for the demons to do this…”
Those silent youths finally suppressed that sliver of uncertainty in their hearts. They still clearly recalled Ji Fengyan had not abandoned them at their most critical moment. If one was to say Ji Fengyan was a demon—this was something they were absolutely unwilling to believe.
Looking at the crowd’s support of Ji Fengyan, Zhou Bugui’s expression turned even more grim.
“Ji Fengyan!” He suddenly said, “Look at how everyone trusts in you. Don’t you want to prove to them your identity? If you are really a Terminator and a human being, activating the World-Termination-Armour shouldn’t be a problem. It should be of no consequence to you. Why then are you so unwilling to activate the armour!”
Zhou Bugui glared at Ji Fengyan, desperate to peer into her soul.
