Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Su Bai saw it all; it was clear that Ma Jun was putting on a brave face and forcing himself to maintain his last bit of arrogance.

After Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi came to their senses, they initially thought that Lao Zhou was playing a prank, but when they looked at Su Bai, they realized that something was wrong.

Su Bai's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed intently on the direction behind Ma Jun, without the slightest hint of jest. The expressions of the two of them gradually became serious as well.

They were originally sitting side by side with Ma Jun. After realizing that Lao Zhou might not be lying, Luo Zheng reacted the fastest and suddenly turned around to look.

When he saw the figure standing quietly behind him, he couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with shock.

That figure was clearly Chen Hua!

The next second, Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi moved extremely fast, getting up and backing up at the same time. They quickly walked to Su Bai and the other two, completely distancing themselves from Ma Jun. Their eyes were fixed on Chen Hua behind Ma Jun, their hands clenched, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Ma Jun didn't turn around, but Luo Zheng and Zheng Yi's sudden actions made his face turn pale instantly, and his forced composure completely collapsed.

He didn't even dare to turn around to check. He scrambled forward a few steps and rushed to Luo Zheng and the other man's side. Only after he had stood still and steady himself did he dare to cautiously look at the spot where he had just been standing.

That one glance made him gasp as well. His arrogance from the argument with Lao Zhou vanished, leaving only barely concealed terror.

Su Bai, Lao Zhou, and Hei Zi also slowly stood up, their expressions solemn, their eyes fixed on Chen Hua warily.

Six people stood facing off against one person, locked in a stalemate, the air seeming to freeze.

This stalemate lasted for about twenty seconds before Chen Hua, who had remained motionless, finally made a move.

His head slowly tilted to one side, his face showing a hint of bewildered confusion, and his gaze slowly swept over the six people present, as if he were looking at a group of strange people.

He didn't speak, and none of the six dared to speak first, for fear of provoking him.

After all, Chen Hua should have died in the otherworld, but now he suddenly appeared, which is too strange. No one knows whether he is a human or a monster, let alone whether he has any ill intentions.

After about ten seconds, Chen Hua suddenly chuckled softly, his tone as calm as if he were asking how the weather was today.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do you all look like that? Have you seen a ghost?"

He spoke, and his voice was exactly the same as before, without the slightest hint of strangeness; he seemed to be human.

But the doubts in everyone's hearts only deepened.

How could someone who was supposed to die in that other world come out alive?

And judging from his appearance, he seemed to be completely unharmed.

Thinking back to how terrified and pathetic he had been when he fled, Ma Jun felt utterly humiliated and wanted to make amends. So, mustering his courage and forcing a calm demeanor, he asked, "Chen Hua, how...how did you get out of that strange realm? Shouldn't you have died in there?"

Chen Hua didn't answer Ma Jun's question. Instead, he snorted coldly, his tone full of mockery and resentment: "What? You thought I died in there, that's why you were so scared just now? Now you know fear?"

He paused, his tone suddenly turning cold: "That day in that other world, when you all suspected me of lying and forced me to prove my innocence, no one stopped me, and no one cared whether I lived or died!"

Only then did everyone realize that Chen Hua still harbored resentment about what happened in the other world.

Judging from his current state, his words and actions are no different from those of a normal person, so he should indeed be a human being, but he is still unable to quell the resentment in his heart.

Luo Zheng said, "Chen Hua, that day you suddenly ran out, and no one had time to react. By the time we realized what was happening, you had already rushed out, and it was too late for us to stop you."

Ma Jun added, "Besides, it wasn't us who told you to go out. You rushed out like a madman, courting death. Now you're out alive, and you're blaming us?"

"A madman?" Chen Hua instantly flew into a rage, his voice rising abruptly. "How many normal people could endure that kind of dark, dreary environment, where you could be killed by monsters at any moment?"

But then Chen Hua suddenly changed the subject, a strange yet smug smile spreading across his face: "However, it's all thanks to you guys forcing me. When I rushed out the door, I saw the moon overhead, so big and bright. I ran as fast as I could, and the closer I got to the moon, the better. Guess what happened?"

He paused deliberately, observing the curious yet wary expressions on everyone's faces, his smile growing even more smug: "That wasn't the moon at all, it was the exit from another world! The moment I rushed out, I returned to the real world. I was laughing then, thinking, 'God has eyes! This is my reward, while you were all supposed to die inside. What a pity...'"

His tone was undisguisedly sarcastic: "I thought all of you would die in that godforsaken place, but I didn't expect you to escape too."

Upon hearing how Chen Hua escaped from the alien realm, everyone was astonished and speechless for a moment.

No one expected that the exit from the otherworld would appear in this way.

Old Zhou opened his mouth, then uttered a bewildered sentence: "This...is this some kind of bug in the alternate world? How come there's an exit like this?"

Everyone: "......."

For a moment, she didn't know how to refute him, after all, this way of escaping from another world was indeed so outrageous that it seemed like a bug.

After recounting his experience, Chen Hua slowly turned his gaze toward Hei Zi.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the night was so thick that his expression was obscured. Only his profile could be vaguely seen, facing the direction of Kuroko, and his aura had turned colder.

"Hei Zi," his voice was calm and even, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine. "We'll settle our score later."

Hei Zi remained calm and replied indifferently, "Fine, I have a clear conscience. Whatever the debt, I'll take it."

Chen Hua snorted coldly, stopped arguing, and sat down on the spot, closing his eyes as if he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.

The night grew darker, and it was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Although everyone still harbored doubts about Chen Hua and was unsure whether he truly meant no harm, they dared not make any rash moves. They could only sit down and rest, deliberately keeping a distance from Chen Hua and remaining vigilant at all times.

In the darkness, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Normally, when they rested during their journey, Luo Zheng would usually take the initiative to start conversations and talk about the situation in the Western Regions to relieve the fatigue and stress of the journey. But tonight, Luo Zheng was unusually silent, just sitting quietly, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Bai raised his eyes and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, his eyes calm and serene.

He had noticed the changes in everyone over the past few days.

Su Bai knew his own situation better than anyone else.

He showed no signs of awakening any superpowers. He was hungry and thirsty, and although his physical strength was much better than before, he was still an ordinary person, ultimately different from the superpowered individuals around him.

In the deathly silence of the darkness, Ma Jun's voice suddenly broke the stillness, his tone tinged with a hint of probing: "What kind of superpower have you acquired?"

He didn't mention a name, but everyone present knew he was asking about Chen Hua.

After all, most people who come out of the other world have awakened superpowers, and Chen Hua should be no exception.
