If I can't live, I'll make you die.
Such a straightforward and brutal statement, but it didn't surprise Isaiah or Diana much. This is indeed something Tongue would say, as he had already expressed his desire to survive at the first gathering, even if it meant sacrificing a Corpse Block.
Now he's just staying true to his character. Since he can't get help in Taoyuan Village, he has to find a way himself, which led him to the Taboo Scholar.
It makes sense.
The only issue is why this guy insists on acting in a female guise... hmm, maybe it's understandable, as contrast is also a form of disguise.
Isaiah and Diana naturally accepted Bai Wei's explanation, but Rocky couldn't.
What does this mean?
His identity is exposed, and he's beaten like this.
In the end, it was still because of his issue all along? He was the one who unwittingly ran into Tongue, and brought it on himself?!
Damn, how can someone be bullied like this!
