In the dim corridor, Molly counted the house numbers and finally stopped in front of a door.
She hesitated at the door with her head down for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage and knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock——
A few soft noises echoed in the corridor, and then the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Molly stood there and could hear her heart beating rapidly in the dark. She kept organizing her words in her mind and her palms were sweaty.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Molly stood at the door for about half a minute, but the door still didn't open.
She was stunned for a moment, then knocked on the door again, louder.
There was still no movement behind the door.
Molly pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to speak:
"Lin Qiye said you were feeling a little unwell, so I brought you a medicine box and also made you a bowl of porridge in the square... Please open the door."
After she finished speaking, Molly stood at the door for a long time.
Apart from the noise coming from the square in the distance, the corridor was dead silent.
"Baili Pangpang?" Molly called out tentatively, "If you don't want to see me, you can just say it inside... Can you hear me?"
Molly waited for a long time, but seeing no movement, worry appeared in her eyes.
There was no response even after I shouted at him... Could he have fainted in there?
"I...I went in?" Molly put her hand on the handle and tried to turn it, but found that it was locked from the inside.
She gritted her teeth and was about to activate [All Things Moving] to destroy the door lock directly, but a ray of yang lightning suddenly burst out from her hand, bounced Molly's palm away, and the recoil force made her take several steps back.
Molly glanced at her palms and stood there in a daze.
She recognized that Yang Lei... Baili Pangpang was awake and he didn't want her to go in.
She clenched her fists and her chest heaved violently:
"Baili Pangpang, I know you are in there! I'm not here to bother you, I just think we need to sit down and have a good talk.
It was you who invited me to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it was you who made me wait in the rain for hours, it was you who wrote on the amulet that I should wait for you to come back... I waited, I waited for you for several years, and finally I see you here...
But now, you don't even dare to open the door to see me or say a word? What kind of man are you? ! "
Molly took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and continued:
“That day, you made me wait in the rain for several hours. I admit that I was a little angry at the time, but I didn’t care about it anymore. Later, I heard about your situation. Do you know how worried I was about you during that time?
I asked for a week's leave from the team and stayed in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, looking for you every day... Later I heard that you had become a member of the special team."
"To be honest, I'm quite happy for you."
"Now that you have become a member of the special team, you will definitely become more and more powerful in the future, and you will be ahead of everyone else... So, I have been working hard to improve myself, hoping that when you come back to find me, I will not be a burden to you.
Finally...I see you again today.
You stood at the forefront of the beast tide and saved me and many others. At that time, I was still wondering when you would take the initiative to come to me...but every time you clearly noticed me, you deliberately avoided me and were even unwilling to show up in front of me.
Well, if you don’t come to me, I will have to come to you.”
Molly took out a sandalwood amulet from her bosom and gently placed it in her palm.
She was silent for a moment, then slowly said,
"I didn't come to you to ask for anything... Ever since you've been avoiding me, I already have the answer in my heart."
"But... this is understandable." Molly laughed at herself. "After all, our story has been going on for so many years. As a member of the famous Nightfall, it's normal for you to have found a girl who is more suitable for you during this period...
I, I originally wanted to find you and have a good chat face to face, even if it’s just a chat as a friend.
But since you don’t want to see me… forget it.”
Molly bent down and gently placed the medicine box and a bowl of steaming porridge at the door.
She looked at the warm sandalwood amulet in her palm with complicated eyes, sighed deeply, and put it on the ground.
She stood up, faced the closed door, and spoke softly:
"I will return the things you gave me...our story ends here."
After she finished speaking, she did not turn around and leave, but stood silently in the dim corridor. After a few minutes, she shook her head and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The heat of the porridge was blown away bit by bit by the cold evening breeze.
Behind the door, Baili Pangpang was sitting cross-legged in the room, holding a jade ruyi in his palm. Countless lines were outlined from the void and continuously poured into his body, almost submerging him in it.
In the corners of the eyes of that statue-like figure, two lines of tears silently slid down the cheeks...
…
Fog.
Olympus, Greece.
Towering mountains are located between the dark thunderclouds. The thick thunder is like a giant snake moving between the mountains and clouds. The pale lightning reflects the densely packed magnificent palaces on the mountain peaks.
Beyond the mountains, violent waves rolled in the mist.
A graceful figure in a black papal robe stood among the waves, looking at the Olympus Mountains in the distance with a slightly frown on her face.
Swish——!
A long streak of lightning streaked across the sky and instantly landed on the tallest mountain. The loud roar caused the sea surface to shake slightly.
"God Si, Zeus has come out of the ruins." A dark shadow emerged from the water behind Si Xiaonan and spoke in a deep voice.
Si Xiaonan narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain. "Is he the only one there?"
"He's alone, and I don't see any changes on him. He doesn't look like he's been contaminated by the Cthulhu pantheon."
"I see." She was silent for a moment, "Has the person who went to Daxia to report the news returned?"
"I'm back. Not long ago, the origin of the Indian Temple of the Gods was destroyed. Daxia should have won this battle."
Hearing this, Si Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is one more thing." The shadow paused for a moment, "We have made some progress on the whereabouts of the goddess of night, Nyx, that you asked us to investigate earlier."
"explain."
"After Nyx returned to Olympus, she led a few of her trusted gods to break with Zeus. The two sides fought for a long time without a clear winner. Later, Zeus proposed a duel with Nyx on the grounds that he did not want to see the Greek gods fighting among themselves, and the winner would be the king.
After Nyx agreed, they fought on the top of Mount Olympus. The battle lasted for three days and three nights but there was no winner. However, they did not expect that Zeus had colluded with the Indian Temple of the Goddess of Heaven. Brahma launched a sneak attack from a distance and seriously injured the Goddess of Night, who was mostly exhausted by Zeus.
Nix dragged his seriously injured body out of the encirclement, and with a few trusted main gods, he headed straight to the back..."
