Chapter 169 - Correct Answer
Chapter 169 - Correct Answer
Duan Yunhong didn't ask Ning Fei why he came to the church manor, he just took another walk with him.
The rest of the people didn't know Ning Fei, so even if he just changed his hairstyle and walked around the church so openly, no one realized that this was the "devil" and the culprit of the fire. Ning Fei was still pointing and talking without any reservation along the way, with no intention of keeping a low profile at all.
He pointed to Duan Yunhong and said, "That's where the Pope lives. Only he and his servants live in that courtyard. No one else is allowed to come in or out without permission. Once when I was called over, I saw someone peeing by the wall of the corridor. Ha, the smell of urine is everywhere in the summer."
"This is where the would-be saints live. But there are different levels. The most favored ones have their own suites and servants, while the less favored ones have double rooms or cramped little rooms, and sometimes have to help with housework."
"The third floor over there is the Son's room. I used to live there too. But it has collapsed now. Otherwise, I could take you to find the marks I left behind. I guess other people might not be able to find them..."
Duan Yunhong, who had been listening in silence, suddenly asked, "What kind of mark is that? Can it be left after thirty years?"
"In the secret compartment under the bed floor, I wrote some bad things about some people and burned them into ashes, and stuffed some of the ashes in there." Ning Fei finished speaking and laughed, "When I was a kid, I heard from somewhere that this could be used to curse people, and I was afraid of being caught, so I did it. Later I found out it was fake, so I stuffed some small jewels in there as travel expenses in case I had the chance to run away. But those things were not enough to bribe the people guarding me, so I left them there and never touched them."
"Sure enough, I guessed that you must have thought about running away before." Duan Yunhong smiled knowingly, "And digging a hole under the bed to hide things turned out to be a habit you started back then."
"Stop laughing so disgustingly, okay? You won't always dig under the bed I slept in the future, will you? That sounds a bit perverted." Ning Fei glanced at him, "And what do you mean by 'as expected'? Then I would say as expected too. Are you comparing me to that little brat just now?"
"I just asked casually. After all, those so-called quasi-saints and saints are all trying their best to climb up. There is one left in this ruin, and I want to know why he neither keeps up with the main group nor runs away." Duan Yunhong said leisurely, "The result was diagnosed as a histrionic personality."
Ning Fei heard the contempt in his tone and tilted her head to look at him: "You are so high and mighty, Mr. Duan."
"Stop." Duan Yunhong also turned his head. "Are you going to say that you were no different from them in the past, so I looked down on your past as well?"
Ning Fei: “…”
Tsk.
"Look, no, you just heard it, I clearly pointed out the difference between you and him - or people like them." Duan Yunhong knew that he had hit on Ning Fei's train of thought, and immediately explained, "To be honest, you should understand that I don't care whether they can really escape or have the ability to escape. If he had said 'You think I haven't tried' just now, I would have looked up to him."
"How could he possibly tell you the truth?" Ning Fei snorted and laughed, "What if you report him to the church? Will he still be alive?"
Duan Yunhong: "Would someone who wanted to escape wear all white and perform a prayer under a stained glass window?"
Ning Fei: “…”
Ning Fei: "Indeed, I don't understand what's going on in this performance. There's a one in ten thousand chance that he really thinks this will work."
"What this world needs least is a saint who performs prayers. He can't save anyone and is just an eyesore." Duan Yunhong commented sharply, "And if he really believes that prayer is useful, it means he hasn't fully realized that this church is actually a den of evil."
"Perhaps the disasters that befell him are not enough." Ning Fei's response was also quite cold. "If his position in the church was more important and more favored, the church would not allow him to stay here."
"So, he is just a self-righteous actor, and no one cares." Duan Yunhong said, "I didn't notice you coming just now, and I don't know how much you heard. I didn't mean to flatter you. I asked him because you were in the same situation as him, and I wanted to see how different this seemingly 'different' person could be. But the result was quite disappointing."
"If you are not disappointed, what do you want to do?" Ning Fei asked, "Help him escape, or let him leave this world directly?"
"Leave this world? Ha, Yu Zhou has an administration to help him 'do good things', but I don't. If I do this, I may not succeed even if I exhaust my luck." Duan Yunhong said jokingly, "Besides, there is only one person like you, and the others are not worth paying attention to. I don't even look down on replicas, let alone this clumsy 'performer' who is not even a shadow."
In fact, Duan Yunhong omitted a paragraph. He really thought about it at the beginning. If the candidate for the Holy Son was as strong-willed as Ning Fei, even if he didn't help him escape from the world, it would be easy for him to escape from the control of a church. But on second thought, this is a bit like imitating Ning Fei's growth path, which is unpleasant. Moreover, if this person could not forget the favor he had done him - a bit like Ning Fei's attitude towards Yu Zhou - it would also make him feel uncomfortable!
Even if Duan Yunhong will leave this world in the future and that person will completely forget about it, it won't work. As long as that period of time has passed, he will feel uncomfortable!
Duan Yunhong really has a bit of PTSD about Ning Fei's "single arrow" towards Yu Zhou.
Seeing Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, he added: "Will Yu Zhou take a kid away again if he meets a kid like you back then? Ask me, maybe not, otherwise I will really doubt his taste."
It’s a very timely patch, it really choked Ning Fei’s words.
To be honest, Ning Fei didn't want to see the birth of his "copy" from the bottom of his heart, especially if Duan Yunhong was the one to handle this matter, it would definitely make him feel disgusted. Although he knew he had no right to interfere with Duan Yunhong's choice, he still couldn't help but ask. Fortunately, Duan Yunhong's answer did not disappoint him.
After two seconds, Ning Fei looked at the collapsed third floor again and whispered in a low voice: "...I'm beginning to regret letting you know about my past."
Duan Yunhong didn't hear clearly at first: "What?"
"Nothing." Ning Fei suddenly turned around and continued walking forward.
Duan Yunhong looked at his back, suddenly realized something, smiled silently and slightly, and followed the other person's footsteps.
Ning Fei didn't take it seriously at first. She glanced at him casually and asked, "Why are you laughing so disgustingly again?"
Duan Yunhong said: "It seems that I understand what you are saying again, which makes me feel happy. Do you want to hear more details?"
Ning Fei: “I don’t want to.”
Duan Yunhong: "But I want to say."
Ning Fei: “…”
"Don't look so disgusted. Since you said it, don't you want me to hear it?" Duan Yunhong walked beside him leisurely, as if chatting, "You are used to listening to my analysis of you, aren't you? Just think of yourself as a teacher grading papers. Relax, Teacher Ning."
The two walked in the corridor. The walls were blackened, but the setting sun coming through the window shone on them from time to time. Ning Fei said as he walked: "I don't like to listen to others analyze my narcissism."
Duan Yunhong said: "Then you can go back to being your Holy Son and listen to other people's ideas occasionally."
"It sounds even more disgusting. Listening to other people's ideas, ugh. Being the Son of God, ugh!"
"OK, but I am not someone else, am I?" Duan Yunhong was amused by his pretending to be disgusted. Ning Fei's reaction at least showed that he was in a good mood. "Since you are not running away now, I will assume that you are willing to listen."
“…”
"Don't worry, I won't say too much." Duan Yunhong turned his head, as if he was looking at Ning Fei, or at the sunset outside the window, "I just want to say three words, no, two words will do."
"You've already said a lot of words." Ning Fei glanced at him, "When telling a story, the more you lay the groundwork, the more difficult it is, you know?"
"I don't tell stories." Duan Yunhong smiled gently, his tone calm and natural, "I want to say, don't be afraid."
"……ah?"
Ning Fei turned around in confusion and looked at Duan Yunhong: "What is that? What am I afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that I'll get more accurate in my guesses and understand you better and better." Duan Yunhong said, "Understanding, especially allowing the other person to understand you, represents the beginning of acceptance. This is what people like us resist the most, I understand it very well."
"..." Ning Fei snorted coldly, "You know nothing."
"Then I'll give you a location marker." Duan Yunhong said, "It's the world of my origin. If you want, you're welcome to visit at any time. Do you need a tour guide? Or I can send you my resume, and you can check it yourself to see if I'm lying."
As he spoke, the man stretched out a hand towards Ning Fei and shook it loosely.
“…You’re crazy!”
Ning Fei realized that he really had a location marker in his hand, and was speechless: "I don't have so much time to go on vacation everywhere, and it's very difficult to accept missions and encounter specific worlds. It's useless for you to give it to me."
"Whether you go or not is your choice, and whether I give it or not is my choice, just like my personal positioning mark." Duan Yunhong grabbed Ning Fei's hand and stuffed the positioning mark into his hand, "Do you want your resume? If you are too lazy to spend time and luck, this is the best way to quickly get to know me."
Ning Fei wanted to pull his hand back, but couldn't. He wanted to curse and laugh at the same time: "Are you forcing me to buy something again? Besides, everyone knows that a resume is the most beautiful wrapping paper. Who would really believe this!"
"So you can check it yourself." Duan Yunhong approached him and smiled softly, "If you want to understand me."
"Let me remind you, this is a church." Ning Fei watched him approaching, and did not dodge, but sighed, "Even if no one knows us, homosexuals will be burned to death."
"That's not bad." Duan Yunhong chuckled, but his tone was full of madness, "Anyway, the world that should be burned has been burned, and the people who should be killed have been killed, and the rest will just have to rely on themselves to survive. No matter what you originally planned to come back for, it should be about time now. It's time to go back and earn your luck, and by the way, compete with me for the preference of time travelers."
After saying that, Duan Yunhong kissed Ning Fei through the window bathed in the setting sun.
"I see you really don't want to stay here." Ning Fei grabbed his collar with his backhand, "You're lucky, you answered all the questions correctly today. I have one more question, do you dare to challenge me?"
"What?"
Ning Fei put his arms around the man's neck and said, "Can you finish this before we get caught and burned to death, Mr. Duan?"
Duan Yunhong smiled solemnly and grabbed his waist: "Field battle? That's not certain. It may take a very long time..."
