Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1749: You Are Very Important

A gust of wind blew through, a chill creeping in, causing Ning Qi’s heart to shudder, feeling something bad was about to happen.

Gu Fan composed himself, then looked solemnly at Ning Qi and continued, "I know what I’m about to say is hard for you to believe, but we’ve been through so much together, faced all kinds of situations, right?"

"Alright, cut to the chase. Just say what you have to say." Ning Qi couldn’t stand the buildup any longer. She began to panic, even considering covering her ears to avoid hearing Gu Fan’s nonsense, fearing it might sway her.

Yet Ning Qi couldn’t help but listen, unaware that her heart was unknowingly leaning towards Gu Fan. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Gu Fan nodded and began to reveal his major discovery, along with his speculations based on various signs, all to Ning Qi.

The amount of information was overwhelming, leaving Ning Qi a bit dumbfounded. She had experienced plenty of incredible things like immortality, vampires, and ancient Super Civilizations, so she had some mental resilience.

However, what Gu Fan spoke of was too shocking; Ning Qi found it hard to believe, her eyes widened in disbelief, wondering if it was truly possible.

After a moment, Ning Qi came back to her senses, though her thoughts were still a bit muddled. She paced in place, unsure how to deal with the situation.

Gu Fan, with a sincere attitude, asked for Ning Qi’s help, but Ning Qi refused. Her reason was simple: why should she believe what Gu Fan said, what if he just made it up?

In response, Gu Fan firmly stated, "Ning Qi, I understand it’s hard for you to accept what I say right away, and it’s just speculation. I get that you can’t believe me, but I need you to give me an answer."

"What answer?" Ning Qi frowned, feeling like Gu Fan was leading her into a trap.

Gu Fan looked seriously at Ning Qi and said, "If one day you discover the truth, that Ao Sai and the Great Demon King really did something to harm the entire world, I hope you will side with me."

"This..." Ning Qi pondered for a moment, then, appearing to understand, she sneered, "Isn’t it great? Ao Sai and the Great Demon King welcoming the return of the ancient Super Civilization, everyone will become slaves of the ancient Super Civilization, and I, Ning Qi, with great merit, will have a more secure position."

To this, Gu Fan shook his head and sighed, "Can you be sure you won’t become a slave? Can you be sure you won’t be discarded after being used as a pawn?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi’s heart sank because that was entirely possible.

What to do? Ning Qi panicked, the stakes were too high, she didn’t know how to decide, feeling like she was gambling.

Ning Qi thought long and hard but still couldn’t make a decision, so she bluntly asked, "Putting Ao Sai aside, your opponent is the Great Demon King, and more so, the Destiny Stone behind the Great Demon King. Do you think you can win? If I help you, the outcome is likely to be very dire."

Gu Fan nodded, also admitting that his chances of winning were slim, but insisted on trying regardless.

However, to Ning Qi, Gu Fan’s chances were not just slim but almost zero, so she decided not to bet on Gu Fan, meaning she resolved to oppose him to the end.

Gu Fan looked dejected, shaking his head and sighing, "Why? I am the Great Demon King, the Great Demon King is me, I am fighting myself. Why do you insist on helping the Great Demon King, do you really think I have zero chance of winning?"

Ning Qi nodded, looking very much sure of herself, and said, "Isn’t that so? A mere mortal like you got this far, all with the help of the Destiny Stone. Since the Destiny Stone wants you to welcome the return of the ancient Super Civilization, can you defy the Destiny Stone’s arrangement?"

Gu Fan could only pull a bitter face, "Alright, Ning Qi, I know we have conflicts, I know my odds are low, but at this point, it’s no longer about personal benefits, but about upholding the fate of all people in the world, even if it’s knowingly fighting a losing battle."

Ning Qi looked at Gu Fan’s unwavering resolve, his aura of determination, ready to do something grand and heroic. She didn’t know why, but she was drawn to it.

But Ning Qi quickly adjusted her mindset, unwilling to jump into the pit Gu Fan was digging.

"Forget it, Gu Fan, no matter what sweet talk you use, I won’t fall for it." Ning Qi crossed her arms, turned her face away, displaying an attitude of unyielding defiance.

Gu Fan pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Ning Qi, my beautiful lady, I know you’re the best, you know what’s at stake. It’s my fault for hurting you, affecting your sense of justice, but I believe the righteous, brave, and kind-hearted Ning Qi is still in there."

"Scram! Do you think saying nice words will make me stand by you? Keep dreaming." Ning Qi maintained her uncooperative stance, putting Gu Fan in a bit of difficulty.

The situation was urgent, Gu Fan must enlist Ning Qi’s help, so he continued his earnest persuasion, "Ning Qi, this matter concerns the safety of everyone in the world. None of us want to be the sinner here, we must not let future generations despise us. Even if we can’t be remembered as virtuous, we can’t leave a legacy of infamy either."

This time Ning Qi reacted slightly, looking Gu Fan in the eye, "Even if I, magnanimously, overlook past grievances and side with you, what can I alone contribute? Does helping you increase your odds of winning?"

To this, Gu Fan shook his head, "I want your help not to fight alongside me, but to use your influence to tell everyone not to serve Ao Sai and the Great Demon King anymore, to unite and defend our homeland, to stop the return of the ancient Super Civilization."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi understood; Gu Fan intended to rally everyone’s strength to oppose the Great Demon King.

Ning Qi thought about it, and it made sense. If everyone knew about the return of the ancient Super Civilization, that everyone would be subjugated by them, who would welcome them back? Surely everyone would see Ao Sai and the Great Demon King as enemies.

Rationally, Ning Qi told herself to trust Gu Fan, to help him.

Just as Ning Qi was about to nod in agreement, the terrifying image of the Great Demon King surfaced in her mind, that deep fear changed her mind.

"I’m sorry, Gu Fan, what you’re saying is still just speculation. I won’t foolishly risk myself based on your speculation." With that, Ning Qi turned and left, not wanting to stay with Gu Fan a moment longer, lest she be suspected.

Gu Fan wanted to make one last effort, shouting at Ning Qi’s back, "Promise me, if one day you find the fate of everyone in the world in your hands, please make the right choice."
