"Hum hum hum, hahaha, cough cough cough..." After listening to Kadi's few words, Bern burst into laughter again, his body shaking violently as if his emotions had been greatly affected.
Kadi always influenced others silently, always delivering unexpected blows unknowingly.
It's clear that Igor and Popovich detected a trace of anomaly in Bern's laughter. Previously, Bern's laughter was evidently more mocking, but now, a tinge of bitterness is clearly present.
This bitterness carries with it a sense of helplessness.
Just as Igor had said, Bern is pitiable. Ultimately, he is merely being used, kept in the dark from start to finish, sacrificing everything for that elusive chance at eternal life.
And the result? Nothing at all, and he instead finds himself on a path to the Eternal Tranquility Realm.
He smiles bitterly; this blue-skinned fellow has pointed out the most helpless aspect of his being.
