Chapter 285 (Inspiration Capsule Extra - )
"Senior, we will succeed, stay, please? I missed you so much." The girl’s voice rang out again, sounding somewhat hoarse.
Adam looked back and noticed her eyes had actually turned red with unshed tears.
Sylvia stopped in her tracks, turned to look at the girl, and still shook her head, though her tone was gentle. "I do not agree with the path you all have chosen, so I will not join you, whether human or ghost, there is no turning back in this life, since you have made your choice, keep walking down that path, even if you don’t know whether it is right or wrong!"
"Senior, I..." The girl choked on her sobs, not knowing what to say.
"Stay strong. Survive!" Sylvia left her with those words before turning around without looking back, leading Adam and the others away.
"Senior!" The girl’s slender fingers tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, watching the faceless woman’s supremely beautiful back, she suppressed the deep sorrow in her heart.
After Adam, the faceless woman, and the rest passed through the array barrier, the colors of the formation deepened significantly, a clear sign it had been reinforced, if Adam wanted to break it again, the difficulty would be multiplied several times over.
Inside the formation, the dark, gloomy city lost its final traces of Yang energy, becoming even more frigid and sinister.
Its total area expanded several times over, aside from the original residents, many bizarre ghostly entities began to appear, among them were beings with ox heads and human bodies, horse faces and human bodies, and some with tongues hanging far out of their mouths, every strange monstrosity imaginable was present.
The city gate that had been shattered by Adam was now replaced by an unimaginably magnificent, pitch-black gate.
The plaque above it no longer displayed the three words Hundred Rivers City, instead, it bore just two words.
Ghost City.
"Did you all eat bear hearts and leopard gall?! How dare you follow us out here?!"
"Are your special physiques meant to be used against me now, is that it?!"
"Do none of you know your own limits? I told you the outside world is very dangerous right now, do you believe me now?!"
"After we get back, every single one of you will write a 100,000-word self-reflection essay, and then you’ll be thrown into solitary confinement for a month!"
After escaping the ghost city, Adam aggressively scolded the four little brats while setting up the teleportation formation.
In truth, the luck of these four was incredibly terrible.
To run into such a massive cataclysm the very first time they snuck out, no, actually, it should be considered good luck.
Fortunately, Sister Sylvia had spent time in the Underworld and had ties with the ghostly entities there, otherwise, Adam truly wouldn’t have known how to rescue them.
Ava and the others stood rigidly in place, not daring to utter a word, they knew they had made a grave mistake.
However, upon hearing about the 100,000-word essay and a month of solitary confinement, their little faces filled with absolute despair, wasn’t this basically demanding their lives?
"What are those expressions? Is a 100,000-word essay and a month of solitary confinement a lot?! Do you realize that if it weren’t for Sister Sylvia, you would have lost your lives this time, and you would have doomed the entire tribe?!"
"What? Do you think avoiding an essay and solitary confinement is more important than the safety of the entire tribe?!"
"Fine then! You can all leave right now, our tribe does not need people like you!"
Adam’s tone was exceptionally stern, if he didn’t teach these little brats a harsh lesson, they would never understand the gravity of their actions.
The faces of Ava and the others turned deathly pale. Being expelled from the tribe...
"Chief, sneaking out was entirely my idea! It’s all my fault, just expel me! They are innocent!" Ava mustered her courage and stepped forward.
"Oh? Trying to play the hero? Let me tell you, there are no such naive things in this world, regardless of whether it was your idea, since they chose to come out, and it wasn’t you tying them up and dragging them here, they bear responsibility too!"
Adam’s tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation, he knew this might be a heavy blow, but only through this would they truly comprehend their mistakes and learn caution.
Looking at Ava’s aggrieved little face, Adam felt helpless.
But he couldn’t be soft-hearted, he had to make them understand the terrifying consequences their actions could bring.
Ava’s face scrunched up in distress.
"Chief, we know we were wrong, and we are willing to accept the punishment! It’s not just Ava’s fault, we are at fault too!" The other three bravely stepped forward. Although scared out of their wits, they knew this was a responsibility they had to bear.
It was exactly as the Chief said. If they had remained firm and refused to follow Ava out, she couldn’t have dragged them along.
They were also at fault and couldn’t let Ava shoulder the blame alone.
"You guys..." Ava looked at them in surprise, feeling warmth in her heart.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Adam felt gratification, these little brats aren’t bad, they know how to take responsibility.
But in their current environment, a sense of responsibility alone wasn’t enough.
They had to be painstakingly cautious, the Mysterious Yellow Great World wasn’t the Spirit-Forsaken Land, here, a single wrong step could lead into an infinite abyss.
"Young Master, calm down, they already know they were wrong, I promise you, they won’t make the same mistake again!" Cecilia stepped forward to play the good cop, she knew the timing was right, the Young Master didn’t actually want to expel these kids.
"Fine, since someone is pleading on your behalf, remember this lesson well and never make the same mistake again." Adam’s tone softened slightly, he knew punishment wasn’t the end goal, making them truly understand their mistakes was what mattered most.
