But others were not so fortunate.
Even the Mutator Xinkui couldn't withstand such torture.
So, after experiencing a "beautiful dream", Xinkui's defenses completely crumbled.
Dream after dream of despair only made him realize how much he was suffering.
He shed tears in secret too.
But despair and pain only made him clench his teeth and persevere, whereas beauty and light were what truly broke him.
Xinkui was almost on the verge of kneeling and begging Zhou Baiyu for help.
It took a long while before Zhou Baiyu could calm Xinkui's emotions, after all, acting like a caring big sister was something he had done many times before.
Once Xinkui had fully recovered his composure, he held nothing back, pouring out everything he knew to Zhou Baiyu.
He also asked many questions, showing a longing for the outside world.
After such emotional highs and lows, it was natural to want to confide in someone, fearing being stretched too thin.
