"A person who can say such things must be very successful in life, Mr. Song Yang." A gentle voice, like a spring breeze, rang out from the side. It was very gentle and did not carry a trace of sarcasm, but it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Song Yang's expression immediately changed. He turned around, ready to curse, but froze when he saw the man in front of him.
The man in front of her looked too elegant. He adjusted his gloves methodically, and his spotless black suit made him seem out of place in the cruelty of the apocalypse.
However, his eyes were cold, which sent a chill down Song Yang's spine.
"This is my family matter, what right do you, an outsider, have to say?" Song Yang said, his voice lacking confidence. "It is true, you don't know, do you? Ye Shaoheng killed his mother, caused me to end up in this state, and even harmed his grandfather..."
"As far as I know, Ye Shaoheng strictly follows the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. Are you saying that the Commander-in-Chief has failed in his command?" Nan Zhu came up to Song Yang, a full half a head taller than him. "Of course, I believe that you just made a slip of the tongue. But you are in the capital, so be careful what you say."
Although the main command is Tokine, the name Tokine has not yet appeared among outsiders.
“…Uh, yes, yes, I, I misspoke.” Sweat beaded on Song Yang’s nose.
"Speaking of which, I really envy Mr. Ye Shaoheng. He used to be a squad leader, and now he's directly the leader of the team next to the commander-in-chief." Nan Zhu said with a smile, "His team members have also received better treatment. He's really lucky."
"Uh, is that so?" Song Yang's face turned pale, and he glared angrily at Ye Shaoheng: "No matter what, you killed your mother and your grandfather. How dare you smile like that?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
"Anyway, thanks a lot, bro." Ye Shaoheng turned around and said with a grin, "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't be good at roasting people."
"You're overthinking it." Nan Zhu nodded calmly, walked to the flower basket on the side, picked up a small daisy and placed it in front of the grave.
After Nan Zhu walked away, Ye Shaoheng noticed that Shi Yin was following behind him. He remembered that Nan Zhu had left for a while, so he had gone to pick up Shi Yin.
"Sister Yin..." Ye Shaoheng was a little embarrassed.
"That first retort was pretty good." Shi Yin also walked to the side, picked up a daisy and put it down: "You are our people. If anyone bullies you, you can use any means necessary."
"Huh?" Ye Shaoheng was taken aback.
Using any means necessary is acceptable, so isn't that implying something to them...?
“Ye Shaoheng, you’re imitating your grandfather, which is meaningless.” Shi Yin glanced at Ye Shaoheng, whose expression was not quite natural: “Your power has evolved faster, but it has become weaker. You haven’t grasped your true essence.”
"Huh? I've become weaker?" Ye Shaoheng asked incredulously. "But didn't my armor evolve?"
"Back then, during your third evolution, you evolved into a warhorse, which was unstoppable wherever it went. Although it didn't have any flashy special effects, its destructive power was absolute." Shi Yin nodded: "But when you crashed into the giant gate, not only did you not cause absolute destruction, you also injured yourself quite badly."
"Forget it, you should have thought these things through yourself anyway." Shi Yin turned to leave.
"Sister Yin." Ye Shaoheng subconsciously grabbed Shi Yin's wrist, but subconsciously let go when Shi Yin turned around.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have been doing the wrong thing all along." Ye Shaoheng said dejectedly, "I can't do anything... Maybe that person is right, I can still laugh."
Shi Yin didn't reply, but stared at Ye Shaoheng thoughtfully until Ye Shaoheng felt a chill run down his spine.
"W-what's wrong?" Ye Shaoheng swallowed nervously.
"...No, I just didn't understand what you were saying." Shi Yin rested her chin on her hand, expressing her confusion: "Anyway, you're not the one making the decisions, so you just need to keep pushing forward, right?"
Ye Shaoheng: "Huh?"
"I make the decisions, and I decide whether we win or fail. Whether you laugh or not doesn't affect the process or the result, so why think about something so trivial?"
“…Huh? Oh right.” Ye Shaoheng scratched his head, thinking that what Shi Yin said made a lot of sense.
"Besides, it seems like you've completed all the tasks I assigned you so far. You didn't do anything unnecessary or skip any steps." Shi Yin pondered, "Why are you sorry to me?"
To be honest, it should be her who wronged Ye Shaoheng.
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
There was no way to refute it.
Although what Shion said seemed to defy common sense, and her thought process sounded very straightforward and rigid... it also seemed to make a lot of sense.
Shi Yin: "Whether you're faking it or you're being sincere, completing the mission is the most important thing. Nothing else matters."
Right, why would he care whether he smiles or not? He hasn't seen his dad for over ten or twenty years, and he's so busy every day, why would he think about something like this?
"What is he doing?" Shi Yin wondered, seeing Ye Shaoheng squatting on the ground deep in thought.
“It’s just a misconception, don’t worry about it.” Nan Zhu said in a low voice, “I’ve heard that people spend their whole lives healing from their childhood, and perhaps Ye Shaoheng is in that situation.”
"Do you have one too?" Shi Yin asked.
"...Probably not." Nan Zhu smiled helplessly: "Are we going anywhere else, Miss?"
"Okay, you go back first. I still have a grave."
Shi Yin walked around the cemetery until she reached a corner where her tombstone was much simpler than Ye Yuansong's exquisite one, and it didn't even have a name.
Compared to the bustling crowds at Ye Yuansong's memorial service, this place has always been desolate, with only two people sitting in front of the grave.
Changning is very close to Guan Nianshan. If Changning was just a natural stranger to him before, now she has become somewhat close to him.
"Aren't you going back?" Changning sat to the side, looking at Guan Nianshan curiously: "You've been sitting here for a long time."
"Yeah, right? I should take you out for dinner." Guan Nianshan stubbed out his cigarette. "But how about you stay with me a little longer this time?"
"Shouldn't you go find Sister Shiyin? You seem to rely on Sister Shiyin more." Changning asked, puzzled.
“You’re still young, and she’s so busy. She might kick me out, which would be too embarrassing.” Guan Nianshan took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth, this time just holding it without lighting it: “Xiao Changning, do you have any family?”
“Those guys are unnecessary.” Changning frowned, a hint of displeasure showing on her small face. “It doesn’t matter what happens to those unimportant guys.”
"Hmm...you're right, and they don't exist anymore." Guan Nianshan said helplessly, "Really, I bought you from them in the first place, and I still asked you such a stupid question."
"You've been acting strange these past few days." Changning stared at Guan Nianshan curiously: "Do you regret it?"
"How could this be... Well, I think I suddenly understand why I have this special ability."
