【Welcome to the quiet place again】

In the field of vision, the illusory cherry blossoms formed the cold and indifferent text of the system.

Lu Ban returned to his warm home.

He was sitting on the sofa. The floor was clean. It didn't look like it had been uninhabited for more than half a month. Instead, it looked like it had just been cleaned.

Without taking any immediate action, Lu Ban just sat there, not excited at all about completing the task.

The demonic tide of the Kingdom of Darkness can only be resisted by relying on human sacrifice.

The filth of the island can only be fought by the sacrifice of the shrine maiden.

As to whether the sacrifice of the majority and that of just one person, active sacrifice and passive sacrifice, could be compared, Lu Ban felt that he was not qualified to judge.

Survival is the first priority of civilization in an alien land. As long as you can survive, any price is possible.

However, this fact reminded Lu Ban of one thing.

In foreign lands, the only way to fight pollution is pollution.

Even the magic of the Kingdom of Night is a temporary pollution.

As for the truth about the Gray Tower of the Country of Darkness and the source of these spells, Lu Ban still does not know. Judging from the situation on the island, it is probably difficult for people to accept.

The foreign land is crazy, indifferent and desperate.

He sighed and suddenly heard a sound.

Zi——

It sounded like something being thrown into a frying pan and stir-fried.

There is also the roar of the range hood.

Lu Ban came back to his senses, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

A woman is busy at the stove.

She held the heavy iron pot in her slender hands and lightly tossed the spoon and turned the pot as if she was swinging a badminton racket. The vegetables inside became darker in color and became limp.

"You're back? Just wait a moment. Go wash your hands first, and you can eat soon."

Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban and told him to go wash first with disdain.

Lu Ban went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, washed his hands, and wiped his face.

He looked at himself in the mirror, he was healthy, and gave a thumbs up.

Returning to the living room, Lu Ban turned on the TV and watched the news. The years were peaceful and everything was safe and sound.

Laika came to Lu Ban's feet and rubbed against his trouser legs. Lu Ban touched its head, and the Corgi immediately lay down on the ground and turned over its belly.

Lu Ban touched its belly and Laika let out a happy cry.

It sat up again and sniffed Lu Ban's body carefully.

"Woof!"

Leica seemed to be asking something.

Lu Ban rubbed its head and said nothing.

"I wasn't sure about the time, so I just made a few dishes at random."

Feng Yu brought the last dish: stir-fried water spinach with mashed garlic, sole cooked in soy sauce, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a pot of tomato egg drop soup.

The hot rice gave off a fresh aroma. Lu Ban held chopsticks and ate with Feng Yu while watching TV.

“It tastes pretty good.”

Lu Ban took a bite of the fish. The fish meat was firm and although it was only seasoned with soy sauce, it was very flavorful with a long aftertaste.

The essence of stir-fried pork is the part on the edges that becomes charred because of the hot oil. Combined with spicy chili peppers, it removes the greasiness of the pork and makes it more delicious.

"Have some soup."

Feng Yu served Lu Ban a bowl of soup and handed it to him.

Lu Ban took a sip of the soup; it tasted simple and simple, just like home.

At the dinner table, it was Feng Yu who was talking almost all the time. She chatted about random things, daily trivia, and small talk.

Lu Ban finished his meal and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"You saw it."

Feng Yu also put down his bowl and chopsticks and said.

"Are all foreign lands like this?"

Lu Ban asked.

“This is the truth of this world. Everything is irreversibly rushing towards the abyss of pollution. The only difference is who runs faster.”

Feng Yu replied.

"There are more cruel, more desperate, and more tragic things than you can see in places you don't know, not to mention some of the survivors of a destroyed civilization."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu.

She called herself a traveler, and Lu Ban could guess some of the reasons why she was traveling.

"You should be thankful that at least the world is still functioning normally. At some point, you realize that even if the entire civilization abandons all dignity, all glory, even history, morality, and even the flesh, and everyone degenerates and alienates into monsters of the abyss, they will still be irreversibly destroyed. Believe me, the situation is definitely more desperate than what you have seen."

The moonlight shone through the living room window, clear and bright.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban couldn't help but laugh again.

His body was in a state of convulsion, shaking constantly, and his internal organs became painful due to the violent vibration, but his smile still did not stop. Even Leica couldn't help but take a few steps back, away from Lu Ban.

This laughter seemed to contain all the joy and happiness in the world, sweeping away all the gloom and sadness. It was a sound that would make anyone who heard it feel happy and would involuntarily smile.

"Want me to hug you?"

Feng Yu looked at Lu Ban who was laughing wildly and said softly.

She stood up, walked to Lu Ban and gently held him in her arms. The human warmth came from Feng Yu's body, softer than the pure fire, and so intoxicating.

Lu Ban buried his face in Feng Yu's arms, feeling her hand gently stroking his back, patting it in a slow rhythm like soothing a baby.

"How do you feel?"

After a long time, Lu Ban let go of Feng Yu and asked.

"You are indeed the woman who can become my mother."

Lu Ban answered seriously.

"What else?"

Feng Yu had a smile on his face, but Lu Ban felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot.

"Did you secretly use my shower gel and shampoo?"

Lu Ban asked righteously.

“…”

Feng Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"So you stayed at my place for several days?"

Lu Ban added another sentence.

Feng Yu must have used his own shampoo and shower gel, slept in his own bed, and maybe even secretly fed his dog.

This woman is so bad!

"Yeah, because I didn't know when you would be back. When I felt this guy, I thought you were done, but I didn't expect it to take so long."

Feng Yu rubbed Leica's dog head.

"yes."

Lu Ban nodded.

It’s been a long journey.

In reality, more than half a month has passed. This can be regarded as the longest task Lu Ban has undertaken so far.

It is a torture for both the body and mind.

Amber’s matter made Lu Ban feel tired, as if there would be no more sorrow or joy from now on.

"Would you like to hug me again?"

Feng Yu saw Lu Ban’s tired expression and asked.

“Yeah!”

Lu Ban buried his face in it again.

In this warmth, Lu Ban was very clear that from now on, he had truly stepped into a foreign land.
