What if that Mental Aspect Demon was the only way to leave? What if he killed the demon and nobody else could ever leave? If that happened, he would essentially be abandoning all of these people...
Therefore, Hao Qi was deeply troubled, and those around him could all see his dilemma. Even after he was brought into the Refuge, his brow remained furrowed, until he met with the high-ranking officials of the Refuge and the military brass. Only then did he anxiously ask, "Is there any possibility for you to dispatch troops for battle immediately? I mean, at the earliest, within a day or two—no, can it be done by tomorrow?"
The military leaders looked at each other in confusion. The elderly general, in particular, wore a grave expression as he spoke directly: "I don't trust you. Among the monsters, there are humanoid ones, and they even possess intelligence. Previously, when we sent out search parties, those monsters even attempted to disguise themselves as victims and survivors, causing us to lose more than a dozen of our own soldiers. The only reason you were allowed into the Refuge is because many people vouched for you. If you truly are a human being, I hope you won't betray their trust."
