Chapter 937: 936. The dead person Chapter 937: 936. The dead person Amber stood there, atop countless writhing tentacles, among the monsters shrouded in dark mist and hidden in the shadows.

Her white dress flowed down to her pale, delicate feet which trod upon the filthy, fierce, and ugly creatures, yet not a speck of dirt sullied her.

Pure as a saint, she contrasted starkly with the surrounding profane, bizarre, and terrifying scene, like a white flower blooming in tainted blood, as if it would be stained by the surroundings at any moment, yet seemingly forever untouched by the world.

Upon seeing Lu Ban and Shia, Amber appeared to understand something, and her expression carried a hint of anguish.

“Cui Siter and Red Leaf have already left?” she asked.

Amber’s voice was soft yet audible, especially amidst the confrontation between the black and white monsters; it was like a sharp, clear spring that brought some clarity to this chaotic world.

“When did you find out?” Lu Ban asked in a deep voice, shielding Shia behind him, which gave Amber a somewhat sorrowful look.

Even though Lu Ban knew if Shia learned the whole truth, she would likely make the same choice as Cui Siter, she was currently unaware, and it was Lu Ban’s duty to protect her from harm.

Whether it came from these white monsters or from Amber.

“From the very beginning,” Amber’s voice was tinged with sadness, resembling the plaintive song of a nightingale.

“It might be because of my close connection to the Divine Sakura, or perhaps some other reason, but when this world was formed and I was born into it, I remembered everything.”

“I was so happy then, because this was the peaceful life I had always dreamed of. But when I saw you, I knew that this was merely a dream.”

“Until you were hospitalized, I visited you every week, so when you spoke of those stories, I was genuinely excited.”

Listening to Amber, Lu Ban could easily paint a picture of a girl filled with anticipation yet continuously disappointed, like struggling in the dark waters for a long time, finally seeing a ray of sunshine, but realizing no matter how much she swam, she couldn’t reach the shore.

Shia wasn’t naive. Now, with the two different monsters on either side of her, and everything she had witnessed before, she quickly deduced these must be the Foreign Domain creatures Lu Ban had previously mentioned.

With this confirmation, Shia surmised that everything Lu Ban had said must be true.

“What are you going to do?” Shia asked, looking towards Amber.

“Only if we all die will Lu Ban be able to return to the real world,” said Amber, her voice gentle as if teasing a cat.

“We are supposed to be dead already and shouldn’t exist in this world. You don’t know that yet, so you’ll want to survive. Once you understand what Lu Ban wants to do, you’ll make the same choice as me,” Amber added.

She didn’t hurry to attack. Although given the current situation, Amber could simply direct the monsters to tear Shia apart, she still refrained.

“I am just myself; no one else. Right now, all I want is to survive,” Shia stated coldly, unaware of whatever entanglements Lu Ban and Amber might have had in the Foreign Domain. She simply chalked it up to some kind of past life scenario. Regardless, Shia’s life in this world was real, and she didn’t believe she would choose to end her life due to memories of a past life.

It was too ethereal and flimsy. Even if Amber spoke the truth, by what means would Lu Ban return to reality?

Stepping back, even if Lu Ban returned to reality, she and Amber were considered the dead. What benefit would that bring them?

Moreover, according to Amber, once she remembered her past life memories, she would agree with Amber’s current actions. But how could Shia be sure those memories were truly real and not fabricated?

If the existence of the Foreign Domain was real, then fabricating memories would not be unusual.

As a rational person, Shia wasn’t about to just willingly die.

Hearing Shia’s words, Amber looked at Lu Ban.

Her meaning was clear.

With just a nod from Lu Ban, she indeed could kill Shia on the spot.

“What are these white monsters?”

Lu Ban didn’t respond but asked instead,

“This is the Pollution that originally existed here.”

Amber did not urge Lu Ban; instead, she walked toward him while answering.

“Even ‘He’ couldn’t completely fabricate a Foreign Domain. He only used a destroyed Foreign Domain as a base and then created this world from it.”

“This world itself contained Pollution. These monsters are the remnants of humans that mutated into monsters within this world.”

Amber said, looking somewhat pityingly at the white monsters.

“Because Pollution cannot be eradicated, it can only be covered with stronger Pollution. But if the Pollution goes deeper, this world won’t be able to maintain the appearance of the Common world you know. Therefore, ‘He’ just sealed these monsters away, sealing them in the past of this Island.”

“But I received some help, another one gave me the power to act in this world, and I found this place. ‘He’ told me that if I let Red Leaf and others come into contact with these things, their memories would revive, and you could go back.”

Amber glanced at the dark tentacled monsters beside her.

“‘He’?”

Lu Ban roughly knew that, besides The Dark One, Amber had probably encountered another Evil God.

As for who it was…

“‘He’ said you would know who ‘He’ is.”

Amber recounted the words of that Supreme God.

“Then I know who it is.”

In this situation, it’s either Charlotte or Baobao. Considering that Baobao’s image has become an idol in this world, Lu Ban felt it was very likely Charlotte.

He paused and then looked back at Amber.

Lu Ban noticed Amber was gazing at him like a cat waiting to be fed, looking eagerly at its owner, which made one unable to resist reaching out to stroke her head.

“What about her?”

Amber asked again, looking at Shia.

Just like a nimble cat pressing down on a small insect with its paw, then looking at you while continuously meowing, asking if it can devour this little insect.

“If I return to the real world, you will die.”

Lu Ban said seriously.

Regardless of anything, Amber would no longer have this body, she would not survive in the world as a human, and might even completely become a deceased due to these changes.

“It’s okay.”

Amber stated, her eyes devoid of confusion and wavering.

“Just as I and Shia have guarded He Dao for so many years, I know this might be a necessary sacrifice and price.”

Lu Ban knew, just like Cui Siter’s and Red Leaf’s choice, Amber also understood what she truly needed to do.

Because of the affection for such a world, she would be willing to sacrifice herself for it.

The Dark One, although adept at manipulating human nature, had overlooked some essential things.

Or rather, ‘He’ was also gambling, betting on the choices of those Chosen by Gods.

Unfortunately for Him, ‘He’ lost the bet.
