I Am Bound to Two Chat Groups After Death

He just said such a simple sentence.

Esdeth, who had a gloomy expression just now and was aroused, suddenly stopped his movements like a well-behaved kitten, and the expression on his face instantly changed from cloud to cloud.

Seeing this scene, Tong Mo, who was still smiling just now, slightly restrained the playfulness in his eyes.

"Tong Mo, do you think this is my punishment for you?"

There was no smile on the boy's face, he just stood there quietly, neither happy nor sad.

Seeing the teasing in Tong Mo's eyes, he still didn't get angry, but raised the corners of his lips, and walked slowly around Tong Mo on the ground.

"It's a pity if you think so—it's really my hope for you."

Upon hearing this sentence, whether it was Estes, the surrounding believers, or the group members who saw this scene through video calls, they all felt a little weird.

Even if this level of punishment is not the most terrifying punishment, it is impossible to link it with "hope", right?

But when Li You said this, his tone was too natural, as if he was stating a fact.

"Your emotions just now were all staged for us to see."

Li You smiled faintly, and gave an explanation for what he just said——

"Humans born in this world naturally feel the joy, sorrow, anger, and emotion..."

"You don't understand, do you?"

"It doesn't matter if you're incompetent and furious, or you're out of breath... In fact, you don't feel pain or anger in your heart at all. It's just an illusion for me and Estes to watch."

"Whether it is happiness or pain for you, it is actually empty and nothingness."

"You just want to confuse and disappoint us through the contrast between before and after, and then satisfy yourself with the pleasure of thinking you have teased us."

"I'm right...the unintentional person, Tong Mo!"

Tong Mo lying on the ground, his chest rose and fell slightly.

At that moment, his original joking expression was replaced by a calm face and chilling cold eyes.

Rather than saying it was anger, it would be better to say that this is the real Tong Mo, the heartless person who cannot feel human emotions and has no humanity at all since birth...Tong Mo!

It was also after he showed this face.

Li You lowered his head, with a bright smile on his face.

"So, do you understand? That was not a punishment for you at all, it just made you see hope first, and put you in the peak state of self-satisfaction."

"A person like you who is born without emotion is like a blind person who was born blind. Do you know how to make him feel hopeless?"

Li You stretched out his right hand, vitality surged in his palm.

"That's right, the only way is to restore the sight of the blind man first, and then let him see the scene he least wants to see when he is conscious, and deprive him of his vision little by little."

"In this way, the mind of the blind man will be dominated by the sight he sees, and in that vision, the only place that gives hope - will deprive the blind man of his sight again before he can see it."

"Only when you feel hope can you understand the taste of despair, Tong Mo."

Li You raised the corners of his mouth, but there was an indescribable sense of terror in his peaceful smile.

"The so-called despair is to tear your hope into pieces in front of your face."

"Changing the Second, Unintentional Ghost, Tong Mo—"

"Use the rest of your life to repent, you will never be able to reach the truth of death, despair and pain...will dominate you forever."

The energy of vitality and the energy of the dead began to surge, and Tong Mo's originally missing emotions gradually returned.

Before he could feel joy at the unprecedented emotion, the energy of the dead began to destroy his memory domineeringly——

Domineering, but extremely slow.

Tong Mo could feel that those emotions and memories that made him feel beautiful and happy were gradually being eroded at a slow speed.

What he feels now is like a blind man lying on a hospital bed, who has regained his sight after a long absence. Just when he was ecstatic, he found an ant got into his eyeball and began to bite.

What followed was intense pain and fear.

He would rather his memory be erased in an instant than to experience the torture of being swallowed up by the memory gradually.

"No!!! Don't!! Let me go... Please let me go!! I can swear allegiance to you!"

This time, Tong Mo was really afraid from the bottom of his heart.

But for his fear, Li You just shook his head.

"When you ate those people, some people begged you for mercy, but how did you respond to them?"

In the next few hours, experiments like this continued on Tong Mo, and there were bursts of screams and wailing in the room, and Tanjiro outside felt a little sympathetic to the ghost inside.

Soon, the system beep sounded.

[Single unit provides despair to reach the threshold. 】

[Get three points from "Dead: Energy Factor". 】

Li You thought that this should be the end of it.

But unexpectedly, several reminders sounded immediately after.
