"You're me?" At this moment Adventurer was no longer as shocked as before; he was gradually starting to grasp what Teacher Hadi's Inner World was really about.
"I am you!" The man in Black Cloth opposite him replied. He had already let go of the rope and was no longer straining to pull it. "It's a pity I couldn't make you and me merge into one. We were just a tiny bit away."
"Why do we have to merge into one?" Adventurer didn't understand what this other self across from him was talking about.
"Either you Devour me, or I Devour you. This world is that cruel; you don't have to be so stupid about it." The Black-Clothed Adventurer went on lightly.
"I won't Devour you." Adventurer spoke with finality; he was slowly untangling this thread.
"It's not about whether you want to or not. This is something that's bound to happen. I can't just turn around and Devour you just because you refuse to Devour me, even though we were so close just now…"
"I don't understand what you mean…"
