"Because..."
The old man gritted his teeth:
"Because Xu Yun, he also... 'disturbed history'."
"No, no, I'm not asking you this. Do you think I don't know?" Ji Lin twirled the pencil in his hand, his gaze still fixed on the old man:
"I'm asking you, why do you need to kill these people who 'disturb history'?"
The old man didn't speak.
After a long silence:
"Ji Lin, you're very talkative today. You've never asked such a question before."
"Because before, it wasn't Xu Yun who died."
Ji Lin looked at the list rolled up on the ground:
"You gave me this list, intending for me to find the person 'disturbing history,' right? Actually, I think it's totally unnecessary."
"There are only two or three hundred people on this list. Why not just kill them all? Why go through the trouble of singling out the one 'disturbing history'? Being so cautious doesn't seem like your style."
"No way."
The old man said vehemently:
"We must not kill the innocent indiscriminately."
Ji Lin chuckled.
