I feel My face twitched a few times. What's the meaning? Am I the boss? Listening to what Tang Yumo means, I would even wipe their Village off the face of the earth. Who am I? The Great Demon King? Killing people is a huge psychological burden for me, and it also destroys their Village. Isn’t this nonsense? I think the look on my face was anger. But Tang Yumo's words actually caused a cold scene, and even Fatty, who has always been impatient, did not refute her. Fatty is still standing next to Tang Yumo, and standing side by side with him is Xiao Ting. Xiao Ting Fortunately, his expression is a bit confused and disdainful. I can understand this expression. But Fatty ’s expression was puzzling to me. He looked at me in surprise and astonishment, as if he was looking at a monster. And asked me with his eyes, how did you do it. I'm so angry, Fat Man's expression is obviously acting, cooperating with Tang Yumo's nonsense. I glared at him and turned my head angrily. A San has gotten up from the ground. It seems that Fatty is merciful. Hakka People, who was also kicked over by him, is still lying on the ground. He is no longer twitching, but he is still in pain and cannot stand up straight. Crouching on the ground and humming. The problem is that A San also has that shocked expression, and even a bit of admiration. It's like these two guys are colluding. I endured the emotions that were on the verge of going berserk. Casting a questioning look at Jack. This time, Jack's mood has been very stable. He's still standing a little later, as the HakkaPeople have been disarmed, and Jack is kind of doing nothing, holding his gun in one hand, Muzzle pointed upwards.
Jack's expression was grim. It seemed he had been like this for a while, but at that moment, his brows were furrowed even more deeply, as if he were burdened with heavy thoughts. His gaze flickered away from mine, as if he were afraid to make eye contact.
What was going on? Had Tang Yumo's nonsense affected them? I was on the verge of losing my mind, unable to suppress the urge to shout and vent my frustration when Tang Yumo's words interrupted my rising anger.
"There are those among you with hearing abnormalities, and we have them too. This is your ability, which we call 'hearing.' I'm surprised to see such mutations among you. In every generation of our people who enter this place for training, those who exhibit mutations are rare. For an outsider to show such a mutation, I can only call it a miracle."
"So, your young people enter the Underground Cavern not just for training but also to stimulate mutations?" Jack, who had maintained a stoic demeanor, calmly posed the question.
"It should be the other way around. The primary purpose of our young people entering the Underground Cavern is to awaken potential and mutation abilities; training is secondary." Although Jack asked the question, Tang Yumo's response was directed at me. "You might think your last entry here was due to luck, but I can tell you it wasn't accidental. It was inevitable. If A-Yong hadn't killed you, you would have entered the Underground Cavern anyway. You are the one who has brought destruction upon us."
Tang Yumo sat weakly on the ground. I slowly walked over and crouched down, staring into her eyes. "Are you saying that I am an awakener?"
"No, I am the awakener." Tang Yumo raised a finger and pointed at the Hakka People lying on the ground. "And so are they. And..."
Tang Yumo's finger finally pointed at A San. "Fortunately, there’s also you. Welcome to our family."
"Are you saying that those who undergo mutations are awakeners?"
"That can be understood that way. It can also mean that we have awakened some kind of ability. For example, hearing."
"And what about you? What ability have you awakened?"
"Premonition. You could also call it prophecy. I possess a very limited form of precognition—an ability our people have never had before. But we know that having this ability signifies that our people are facing extinction." I saw Tang Yumo's long eyelashes flutter a few times before her eyes weakly closed. "I can see fragments of certain scenes from the future—scenes depicting the destruction of our people's survival foundation. In these scenes, only one person appears. This is both the limitation and uniqueness of my precognitive ability; I can only see the person who poses the greatest threat to us, and that person is you."
“Awakener?”
“Yes.” Tang Yumo opened her eyes. “I know where you got this ability. Essentially, you are also one of the Awakeners, just like another person who has been here before, probably your friend. But your awakened ability is to destroy our people. Only you can enter there and bring about our destruction.”
The other person Tang Yumo referred to must be Cao Mingzhe. However, the idea that I would destroy the Hakka People was purely a figment of her imagination. Could it be that this girl had awakened some kind of madness? Foreseeing the future? That was utterly ridiculous.
“You're telling a story. I admit that strange things have happened since I arrived in this Valley, especially after entering your Village, but do you really think I would believe that I can foresee the future?”
“It’s not a broad sense of foreseeing the future; I don’t have that kind of power. My ability is specifically targeted at you, the one who will inevitably destroy our people—namely, you, Awakener.”
“Stop talking nonsense; no one will believe such ghost stories.” I finally lost my patience.
“Can you prove it? No one believes empty words. Can you demonstrate your foresight? For example, the outcome of our descent this time.” Jack suddenly asked.
My eyes lit up.
“No, I can no longer do that.”
“Hah.” I scoffed a few times. “Are you saying your ability has vanished? Like a bubble that bursts with a ‘pop’ and leaves nothing behind? But A San’s hearing ability is still intact, yet yours has disappeared—how do you explain that? Are you no longer an Awakener?”
“It’s not that my ability has vanished; it’s that your ability has strengthened. Ever since the last time you emerged from the Underground Cavern, I haven’t been able to see you again, even when I enter the deepest meditation. You should feel it yourself; you have grown stronger.”
“What? You can see me! Are you saying you don’t need to face me directly to see me?”
"Yes, even though it's just a disjointed image, I can see you and know what you will do next and where you will appear. Otherwise, how could I have sent A-Yong to the teahouse to assassinate you?
That was the only time you appeared alone in my foresight, and the environment was perfect for an assassination. I had A-Yong go to Zhenfeng County ahead of time to familiarize himself with the surroundings. Logically, we had prepared well, and A-Yong is the strongest warrior in our village; the operation should not have failed.
But both the clan leader and I knew that failure was the norm. A-Yong was tasked with an impossible mission. We were merely struggling in vain."
"He nearly killed me!"
"Yes, I know. It would have been a miracle if he hadn't killed you under those circumstances. If it had been someone else, they wouldn't have walked out of the teahouse alive."
