"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang!"
Ani Gray's thoughts were in complete disarray.
He seems to remember nothing, yet he remembers everything.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the person who had left earlier had returned to his front, but did not look up; his body continued to repeat the same monotonous movements.
Wang Xuefeng's eyes darted around, and he already had some ideas for testing the waters.
"Senior, Instructor Honglian says she wants to meet you. Would you be willing to see her?"
"clang!"
"See...see...see her...she's...here..."
"No, she's not here, but I can still make sure you see her."
After he finished speaking, Wang Xuefeng placed a whiteboard upright in front of him.
At the same time, the reconnaissance plane flew to the opposite side of the sky, and then a beam of light hit the board.
Ani subconsciously looked up and was shocked when he saw the red lotus in the projection.
"Wh...what..."
The woman in the picture was very clear, and he was certain that she could see him.
That was the person he longed for day and night, the person who lingered in his mind!
“Ah… Ah… Ah Lian…”
Tears streamed down his face.
Even though he had almost lost his ability to speak, Honglian in the distance could still understand what he wanted to say.
“Ani…”
The two of them stood silently gazing at each other across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Can you come back?" Honglian couldn't help but lean closer to the screen and stroke the curtain with her hand as she asked.
"..."
“Our wedding isn’t over yet,” she said.
"..."
Ani's eyes grew increasingly red, and the nerves at the corners of her mouth twitched incessantly.
"clang--"
The heavy "anchor" fell to the ground with a loud thud.
He could no longer control himself and lunged at the whiteboard, but because his body blocked the projection, he had to step aside and didn't even dare to touch it.
"Ani... are you alright...?"
Both of them saw the marks of time on each other's faces, and their eyes were no longer as carefree as they used to be.
The only thing that remains unchanged is perhaps their longing for each other.
"Come back, I've been waiting for you..."
"Waaah..."
Ani burst into tears. He looked at Wang Xuefeng suddenly, his mouth agape but he couldn't utter a single word.
However, Wang Xuefeng understood what he meant—get out of here!
Yes, it was a very strong feeling of resistance.
"He can never go back," Wang Xuefeng thought to himself.
The power of the contract binds Annie Gray, forcing him to serve the same master, whether in life or death.
Even if the master dies, his fate will only be to vanish into nothingness.
Wang Xuefeng had no way of telling Honglian this fact, just like Ani's attitude at this moment.
A decisive refusal, a painful decision to let go, and a mutual farewell are the best outcomes.
"Click—"
Wang Xuefeng cut off the connection and decisively put away all the tools.
Ani's body was stiff, his eyes still staring blankly at the empty ground.
“Your iron chain,” Wang Xuefeng reminded him.
"Save her...save her...save her..."
"How should we save them?" Wang Xuefeng calmly took over the question.
"Please...save her...save...everyone..."
After Ani finished speaking, he grabbed the iron chain on the ground, smashed the anchor-like hook with force, and finally grabbed the broken "tail" and jumped into the small hole in the ground.
"Buzz..."
An indescribable wave emanated from the cave, carrying a strong smell of rust and a hint of heat.
“Lava…” Wang Xuefeng frowned.
He silently stared at the dark, bottomless pit and the giant, abandoned "anchor" beside it.
With his mind open, he naturally had no doubt that Ani truly did not want anything to happen to Honglian.
He could even guess that Ani's initial departure from the academy was also to ensure her safety, a decision made after careful consideration.
The honest and kind-hearted Ani chose not to be honest about this matter, but instead kept it a secret until now.
"Beep beep..."
Wang Xuefeng squatted down, but instead of touching the iron lump on the ground with his hands, he used the reconnaissance aircraft to scan and record it.
Ani doesn't have the Bluebird's parasitic egg on him; he only carries out orders according to the contract. Therefore, Wang Xuefeng isn't worried about him developing a second personality; at most, he'll just suffer from amnesia.

Flying Dragon City.
Xiao He brought Jia Bo's body into Yang Xing's laboratory, but she has not yet informed anyone else.
"How could this happen..." Yang Xing sat next to the freezer, rubbing his temples.
"What do you think?" Xiao He quickly took a sip of water.
She needed to ask Yang Xing for his opinion on this matter.
"It's best not to tell Jia Bo and his mother about this for now. Just leave him here for a while. I'll set up an isolation area for him to prevent any further accidents," Yang Xing said cautiously.
"Alright, then I'll leave this to you." Xiao He nodded.
"That's alright, it's Ani's matter that's more troublesome. I just saw it too, so you absolutely must not go down into the cave with him," Yang Xing solemnly instructed.
"Why?" Xiao He asked curiously.
"It's too dangerous." Yang Xing shook his head: "I'll give you a reconnaissance aircraft, you can put the machine down."
“But Xuefeng said it’s very deep; the reconnaissance plane probably can’t reach the bottom.” Xiao He frowned.
“It’s alright, go as deep as you can. Once we determine the approximate location, we can send a submarine out.” Yang Xing looked at her firmly, “This will also eliminate your risks.”
“Alright…” Xiao He reluctantly agreed: “Then pack the things for me, I’ll be sending them over right away.”
"Transfer everything in category 109 in the warehouse to your backpack. There are also some mining tools inside; take them if you find them useful," Yang Xing said, confirming as he spoke.
However, Xiao He shook his head after reading it.
"I suggest you give me a submarine."
"What?" Yang Xing was taken aback.
"How about you give us a submarine and we search directly from underwater?" Xiao He suggested.
Yang Xing remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "It's not impossible..."
“But that involves a bit of gambling,” he added.
Xiao He nodded: "I know."
"Bring two more teleportation scrolls, since your bodies can't just disappear offline," Yang Xing worriedly reminded him.
Although Xiao He was a god, we cannot truly assume that she was invincible at all times.
"OK!" she assured him, patting her chest.
"If you need anything, just let us know in the group chat, and Lei Zi and Lele can teleport over to help you."
"OK!"
"If there's something you absolutely have to do, then do it without worrying about me."
"OK!"
"Submarines are equipped with flashbangs. Remember to adjust the intensity before releasing them, but try to use the dark mode in the deep sea, because the outer shell is not very strong."
"OK!"
