บท 231: Choosing the Path of No Regrets

He opened his eyes when he located Jack.

Jack was far from him.

Thousands of vengeful souls flew in circles around him.

The souls pounced on Neo when he approached the area.

Go died. Die. Die. Monsters like you two should not live. Why did I die? You should be the one to die. Kill yourself. You are disgusting. You do not deserve to live.

The souls could do nothing but shout.

They were not harmful to Neo.

He stopped before Jack, who was crouching on the ground, holding his knees with his back facing Neo.

"…"

Both of them remained silent.

The wails of souls echoed between them.

Finally, after a dozen long seconds, Jack opened his mouth.

"…Why are you here?"

"Make a guess."

Jack remained silent for a few seconds before he answered.

"I'm not coming back."

"Why?"

"Look around you. I don't deserve to live."

The souls shouted when they heard him.
