Given Xia Ji's talent, no matter where she went, she would receive the attention of many people.
Furthermore, based on what had happened in the past, Xia Ji should have been a very ambitious person who had planned for her future.
But now, she was going to end her own life here.
All her plans and ideas would never come to fruition in the end.
How could she not feel regretful if she were to die just like that?
Qin Yi's words had obviously touched her sore spot and caused her emotions to fluctuate.
"So what if I have dreams and ambitions? So what if I can't bear to part with them and have regrets? "
Xia Ji, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke for the first time. "There is no reason for me to continue living now."
Qin Yi stared at her for a long time before he finally said, "Is it because you did too many wrong things while your body was being controlled by the Red Specter? Is that why you feel ashamed to continue living in this world?"
Xia Ji was noncommittal. She didn't say a word and just remained silent.
However, it was obvious that Qin Yi's words were spot on.
Although she hadn't been willing to do these things, she had indeed been the one who had done them. The Red Specter had used her body to do these things.
Although she hadn't been able to control her own body all this while, she had still been able to see what the Red Specter had done with her body.
Not too long ago, the Red Specter had used her body to massacre tens of thousands of people. This had been a huge blow to her.
Tens of thousands of innocent people, tens of thousands of fresh lives, died in her hands just like that.
Although she hadn't been able to control her own body at the time, she had indeed seen herself as the one who had done it.
Even though the Red Specter's soul had been forced out of her body, Xia Ji still couldn't forgive herself for all the evil things the Red Specter had done.
"Why won't you forgive yourself if the Red Specter did it?"
This was the crux of the problem. Although he had already guessed why Xia Ji wasn't willing to continue living, he still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Although it wasn't my will, it was my body that caused harm to the Red Specter!"
Xia Ji's soul said sadly, "Without my body, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. Therefore, I am also responsible. I should take responsibility for this. "
Hearing this, Qin Yi finally came to a realization.
It turned out that Xia Ji was already in a dead end and was unwilling to let him go.
"Xia Ji, you're wrong to think that way."
Qin Yi looked at Xia Ji and said, "In this matter, you are the victim, not the perpetrator. You shouldn't be responsible for this, and there's no need for you to sacrifice your life for this! "
Xia Ji shook her head and said: "Qin Yi, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You and I can be considered old acquaintances. You should know that as long as I have decided on something, it is very difficult to change my mind. You should also know that the massacre this time is really too cruel. If I don't die, you won't be able to explain yourself when you return. As long as I'm dead, you can bring my corpse back to report, and this matter will be considered over. "
"I don't need to answer to anyone!"
Qin Yi's voice was incomparably domineering as he said, "I only need to be responsible for the people I know. As for giving an explanation, it's not necessary. Furthermore, I don't care what others think of me. Even if they say that I'm harboring criminals or associating with evil people, as long as I know what I'm doing, it doesn't matter. "
Xia Ji looked at Qin Yi's soul and was momentarily lost in thought.
She had known Qin Yi for a long time, and all this time, she realized that Qin Yi hadn't changed at all. The feeling that Qin Yi gave her almost made her believe that she was still in the Yan Luo Region, and that Qin Yi was still that fearless heroic youth!
And she was once the Demoness that caused people to tremble in fear. Although she carried a bad reputation, she was extremely decisive and straightforward in her actions. She had a similar experience as Qin Yi. Although she had lost to Qin Yi in the end, that outcome was something she was happy to see.
As the memories of the past gradually surfaced, Xia Ji suddenly recalled the dream of the past.
She wanted to travel the entire Divine Region and become a true peerless expert. She wanted to defeat Qin Yi.
If she were to die now, then all her efforts would be gone. She wouldn't have accomplished any of her goals and would enter eternal slumber with regrets.
This thought had already appeared in her mind when Qin Yi had first entered her sea of consciousness and said those words to her.
But the regret in her heart at that time was far less intense than it was now.
To be honest, deep in her heart, she really wanted to continue living.
After all, she was only a woman in her early twenties. She was in the prime of her life. If she died like this, not only would others feel sorry for her, but she herself wouldn't feel good either.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Yi was also observing the emotional fluctuations produced by Xia Ji's soul.
To be honest, this was indeed a pleasant surprise for him.
He had bitterly tried to persuade her for so long, but he still hadn't been able to change her mind.
However, what surprised him was that the emotions that he had inadvertently revealed had such an impact on Xia Ji's soul.
It seemed that there were many things that couldn't be changed just by persuading her patiently.
For a person like Xia Ji, he needed to make her feel what she was going through and let her experience it for herself. Only then would she be able to change.
Now that he had sensed the emotional changes in Xia Ji's soul, Qin Yi naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.
He had finally managed to pull her out of the dead end with much difficulty, so he couldn't let her continue digging into it.
At that moment, he said, "Xia Ji, I know that you feel that the massacre had a huge impact on you. And because of this, you felt a strong sense of guilt. You feel that you are an accomplice, that your body helped Red Shirt complete the series of actions. No matter what you think, it doesn't matter. If you can free yourself from this inexplicable sense of guilt, that would be for the best. If you can't … why not give yourself another chance? "
"Chance?"
"That's right! A chance for yourself to atone for your sins! "
Qin Yi nodded and said, "I can even spare Red Shirt's life and give him a chance to turn over a new leaf. Do you think that your sins are greater than his? If you want to live, you can do more things. You can even make up for your actions this time! "
After hearing Qin Yi's words, Xia Ji's soul sank into deep thought.
