I'm not a drama god

Mo Lian glanced at Bai Ye and said calmly:

"Oh... Well, in that case, let me do it. You just watch from the sidelines. If any child tries to escape, you kill him."

Bai Ye lowered his eyes and did not answer.

"What? Don't want to?"

“I just don’t understand. They are just a group of children. They can run away if they want. Why do you have to kill them? We are thieves, not butchers.” Bai Ye said in a deep voice.

"Then go ask the king yourself." Mo Lian sneered, "Among the five thieves of red, yellow, blue, white and black, which one of us hasn't killed someone? Are you pretending to be an innocent white rabbit now? I don't care, but I will report to you what you did and didn't do this time... The king will decide how to deal with you."

"..."

Mo Lian no longer paid attention to Bai Ye and continued forward along the wheel tracks.

Bai Ye frowned and looked at the direction where the wheel tracks were going away. There was a gleam of brilliance in the depths of his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking... At this moment, the soil under his feet shook slightly, and a shadow centipede as thick as a thigh broke out of the ground and was about to bite his body!

Bai Ye and Mo Lian do not have the aura like Chen Ling that can dispel the disasters around them. They walk in the gray world and must always face the attacks of disasters in the gray world. However, with their ranks and strengths, most of the disasters are not threatening...

Bai Ye was thinking about other things at the moment and had no time to care about the disaster. Just when he was about to kill the centipede, he suddenly seemed to think of something and stepped on it!

Bai Ye looked down at the shadow centipede struggling frantically at his feet, his eyes narrowed slightly...

His palm gently touched the centipede's head.

……

As the team moved forward, a steady stream of crying was heard from the children.

"Don't leave... I don't want to leave, I want to go back to find my mother, wuwuwu..."

"I can't walk anymore. I want to sit down and rest for a while."

"It's so dark around here, I'm so scared!"

"Where's the pancake? I want to eat some pancake... If I don't eat the pancake, I'm going to starve to death!"

After hours of trekking, most of the children's physical strength had reached its limit. Some younger children, who had been in a depressing environment for so long, lost control of their emotions and started crying desperately.

Fortunately, there were still a few adults in the team. They could only go up to coax them and take out dry food and water from another cart and distribute them to the children.

"What are you arguing about?! If you keep going on, the monsters will be attracted here!! I'll beat up anyone who cries again!"

A tall and strong boy of about seventeen or eighteen in the crowd knocked a child in his early ten years old to the ground with one punch and spoke viciously.

After being punched, the child cried even harder.

The tall boy glared at the child and suddenly rode on him, punching him with fists like sandbags and raining down, directly hitting him on the head and causing it to bleed. Seeing this, the adults nearby immediately rushed over to separate the two.

"Zhu Zhong! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone?"

"Who made him keep crying? He's going to kill all of us!"

"You're being too harsh. Do you know how far this place is from the Tianshu Realm? Shedding so much blood could kill someone!"

The young man called Zhu Zhong did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, he continued to stare at the child in a pool of blood. Blood dripped from his fist onto the ground, but it was only the dark gray color unique to the gray world.

Not far away, the young man in hemp clothes silently raised his hand and covered the eyes of Asan on his back.

"Brother Xiao Li...why did he hit people?" A Qian, like the other children, was frightened by the bloody scene just now, and his voice was trembling.

"Xunzi said that human nature is evil. Without education and the concept of good and evil, they have power beyond their peers... Such people are often extremely self-centered, not restricted by any rules, and act without restraint." The young man in sackcloth clothes spoke calmly.

"We should stay away from people like this, understand?"

"understood."

Ah Qian silently buried his head in the boy's shoulder, but found that the boy's steps were gradually staggering, and his body seemed to be trembling slightly... It was not fear, but being too tired.

The young man in hemp clothes was already thin, and after carrying a girl like A Qian on his back for several hours, his body was almost at its limit.

"Brother Li, are you tired?"

"Tired." The sackcloth-clothed boy paused for a moment, "But we can't stop... We finally escaped from that purgatory. The longer we delay on the road, the more dangerous it will be..."

"It should be okay to rest for a while, right? With those adults here, we should still be safe."

"They? They don't represent 'safety'... Have you forgotten how the Wuji Realm fell?" The hemp-clothed boy seemed to remember something, and his eyes flashed red. "This is a chaotic and dark era. Here, the only one we can trust is ourselves."

"Oh……"

A Qian didn't understand what Brother Xiao Li meant, but she knew that he was indeed tired, so she got off his shoulders and tried her best to lighten his burden.

She was about to say something when a figure holding a cane gradually appeared in their sight on the barren land ahead.

"Brother Xiao Li, there's an old man in front of us! He's not a monster!" Ah Qian was startled when he saw this, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Is he sent by the Tianshu Realm to pick us up?"

Not only her, but almost all other children had the same thought in their minds.

They had been walking in the Gray Realm for too long. All around them was the barren and silent land and the occasional terrifying disaster. There was no human figure at all... In this extremely depressing environment, everyone was eager to reach the Tianshu Realm as soon as possible, but they were still young and had no concept of distance.

Therefore, when they saw a long-lost human appear in front of them, and he looked like a gentleman wearing a bowler hat and holding a cane, they were immediately extremely excited!

Some children even started crying and waving at the man, running up quickly.

The hemp-clothed boy suddenly stopped, tightly grasped A Qian's wrist, looked at the man with an extremely vigilant look, and quietly retreated behind the crowd...

"Be careful!! Don't go over there!" At the same time, the adults accompanying them also reacted and shouted immediately!

However, it was already too late.

As the man raised his cane and waved it casually, the dozen or so children closest to him were shocked at the same time. Their hearts appeared outside their bodies, as if they were taken out by an invisible hand and thrown to the ground.

thump--

Their bodies were like straw swept by a hurricane, falling to the ground in wave after wave, without a breath left.
