Once upon a time there was a demon pass

"If you wear a mask for a long time, you will get tired."

"But unfortunately, people like you and I have to wear that damn mask on our faces all the time, and we can't take it off for a moment!"

"Even, after a long time, I feel, maybe... this is not a mask, this is really me!"

"I was intoxicated by it, and even put myself in the mask's place and thought too much."

"Although I know, these are meaningless."

"But if you don't convince yourself..."

"Maybe, I'm already dead."

The old white ape looked at Ji Hong, and suddenly said something inexplicable.

But Ji Hong didn't refute, just looked at it directly.

"But now..."

"I can finally take off this mask."

"You don't have to think about what other people think, and you don't have to worry about living a precarious life."

"Even those ridiculous demon gods..."

"Life and death are just in my mind."

The old white ape, who was full of sadness a second ago, laughed at this moment, but the smile was full of madness, as if he was telling a very interesting thing, and kept patting the branch beside him with his palm.

"Do you know the taste of freedom?"

"It's been too long, too long, I haven't felt that the air in this world is so sweet!"

"Including the flowers, the grass..."

"Now in my eyes, they are all so gorgeous."

"actually..."

"You can also try this feeling."

"Take off the mask, and you will see a different world."

At this time, the mental state of the old white ape seemed to be a bit wrong, his smile suddenly subsided, he stared at Ji Hong again, and said seriously.

But Ji Hong shook his head slightly: "The moment I escaped from Zhenyao Pass, the mask has been integrated with me, and I can't take it off."

"What are you afraid of?"

Hearing Ji Hong's words, the old white ape looked at him with some doubts: "Are you worried about the demon god eavesdropping?"

"No, these guys who think they are smart are no longer in this world!"

"They fantasize about a bright future!"

"Hahaha!"

"The future learned from the eight-tailed fox!"

"A group of lowly creatures, just fools without brains!"

The old white ape taunted the demon god unscrupulously, not worried that his words would be heard by the demon god, what was revealed in his eyes was absolute arrogance.

This face, in the past, the old white ape has never shown.

"congratulations."

"you did it."

Ji Hong looked at the old white ape, his tone was still calm, but he squeezed a smile on his cold face, and said softly.

But these slightly perfunctory words seemed to have touched a certain nerve of the old white ape.

Its eyes turned red in an instant, stood up abruptly, stepped in front of Ji Hong, stretched out its hairy hands, grabbed Ji Hong's collar, and almost roared: "It's like this again! It's always like this Do you know, every time I see your attitude like this, I always want to punch you in the face!"

"My mask has already been taken off, why don't you take it off!"

"Are you trying to prove to me that you are more persistent and ideal than me?"

"Does that make you feel more noble?"

The old white ape's saliva splashed on Ji Hong's face, but Ji Hong still maintained a calm gaze, looking at the old white ape without saying a word.

But the roaring old white ape suddenly let go of his hand, took a step back, and staggered back to sit on the chair.

"In my eyes, you are different from other human races."

"Whether it is the monster race or the human race, they are just inferior races, with dull talent, useless, stupid!"

"Even...you too."

As he said that, the old white ape's face showed a little reminiscence, and he muttered to himself in a crazy state: "The first time you saw me was when I was most vulnerable!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that you can crush me to death with one finger."

"but..."

"But you chose to cooperate with me."

"I know that cooperating with me is just a move for you to better help the human race, but without your thigh, at that time... I would have died."

"Or, after more than a hundred years of ups and downs, I'm already tired."

"These damned lowly creatures!"

The old white ape cursed viciously, and then started talking to himself again: "I just thought, forget it, let it be like this, I'm too tired..."

"Everything in this world is boring to me."

"You have no idea what I've been through all these years!"

"But then..."

"After forming an alliance with you, I suddenly discovered that even if you don't rely on strength, you can do some interesting things."

"I even thought at the time, why not just help the human race and destroy the demon realm directly!"

"Because working with you is really a very good experience."

Saying that, the old white ape raised his head and glanced in Ji Hong's direction.
