The good news is that An Nan didn't say this just because he heard those disrespectful remarks made by Ash.
The bad news is that An Nan is serious.
“There are two key factors to this second future list: love and family.”
An Nan said succinctly: "So you understand, right?"
Although compared to the Blood Moon Kingdom, the Gospel Kingdom's air is filled with the sweetness of love, but if... no ifs, since the day the "National Friendly City Ranking" was announced, Fanmu has been defending the title until now, and is well-deserved as the most loving city in the country. This honor is expected to allow every Fanmu citizen to gain 5 Gospel points per year.
If the second list needed love and family, they were indeed in the right place.
"No, I still don't understand."
Harvey walked to the window, holding a cat grass cigarette in his hand, and a bunch of doubtful gray and white things slowly rose up: "Why do we have to fall in love?"
"Because this is the shortcut for you to gain love and family." An Nan said, "For those of you who have no past, as long as you make a little effort to cross the dirt slope, the gospel will mistakenly think that you will have to travel through mountains and rivers."
"The same goes for love and family. You can't have your own family in just a few days, nor can you find an unforgettable love. But as long as you show your yearning for love and family, the Gospel will naturally recognize your intentions."
"It's a very reasonable inference." Ash said, "But the question is, love is something that probably, seems to, perhaps, should require more than two people, right? Is the young lady finally going to give employees a girlfriend as a benefit?"
"This is the part that requires your hard work." An Nan fiddled with her earrings: "I have already bought the tickets for you to the stage. It depends on your ability to perform what you want."
"Miss, what you mean is that we should find someone willing to date us in this highly exclusive, materialistic place called Vanmara, where people have already arranged their fiancés?" Ash was puzzled. "I think it might be more practical for us to resolve the issue among ourselves."
"Is it a family reincarnation dream?" Igula suddenly said.
An Nan glanced at him and said, "It seems that your day has not been wasted... That's right, I don't want you to find someone to date in reality, but to go to the family reincarnation dream to directly participate in the love matching."
"Dating matchmaking?" Ash was keenly aware of the difference between the nouns: "It sounds like a blind date or some other scary social activity full of complicated competition and hidden battles."
"Although I don't know why you have such an understanding, I can guarantee that love matching is much simpler than you think." An Nan said: "Let me put it this way, with the same contact time, you can only get the contact information of a strange lady in reality, but in your family reincarnation dream, you may have kissed or even made love with her."
"As mentioned before, the family reincarnation dream is a place that every member of the family needs to log in every day. They need to consume too much positive emotions in it to avoid a permanent increase in the threshold. In order to allow the members to consume positive emotions as quickly as possible, the family reincarnation dream has almost no restrictions. As long as you are willing, you can do anything in it."
"If you want to be masochistic, you can find a lot of sadistic torturers inside. If you want to sing, you will meet countless listeners inside. If you want to kill, you can hold a battle royale game inside anytime and anywhere... Do you know how many people there are in the Sennheiser tribe? There are seven figures in total. With such a huge base number, the craziness you can imagine with your imagination is probably less than one-tenth of the family's dream."
"In the family dream, a popular project like love is almost as easy as finding a stranger to team up with in a virtual game. There is no need for a foreplay at all, you can enter the most passionate stage as soon as you meet."
An Nan's fingers stirred back and forth, and this very common action was made to sound like a heavy rain. "I'm not asking you to do something that would embarrass you. On the contrary, this task is much easier than finding this place."
"In dreams, you can freely set your appearance - regardless of race, gender, or age, they are no longer barriers to you. Similarly, the other people you meet are all works of art that they have spent a lot of time and effort to carve out, and they definitely include the types you like. Coupled with the anonymity of dreams, you can imagine how crazy it is."
Anonymous identity, illusory appearance, free scene.
Except for Igula who knew something about it, everyone else looked stunned.
Although they tried their best, they still couldn't imagine how chaotic the family's dreams were.
As Ash and Liz listened nearby, they hugged each other and trembled.
Panji walked to Harvey's side, lit the second bunch of gray things, and added: "The Senheiser people don't care about reality, not only because the beauty mist keeps them physically happy forever, but also because the family reincarnation dream can satisfy all their unbearable desires. For them, the family reincarnation dream is reality, and reality is a dream that is not worth mentioning."
"The people who live in this city." The young butler looked down at the city outside: "Almost all of them are pathetic animals with the seal of the "family" stamped on them."
"Butler, you seem to have something else in your words." Igula said, "If you have any ideas, you might as well speak up. After all, besides me, you still have to take care of other colleagues who are not so smart."
"Yeah, yeah." Ash looked at Harvey sympathetically, and Harvey looked at Ash the same way.
"I'm afraid you will be completely trapped and become a member of Sennheiser," Banji said frankly. "To be honest, I just learned about the details of Miss's plan today, and I am opposed to it. The family reincarnation dream has a strong assimilation ability. For those of you who have never experienced love, it is simply like a primitive tribe meeting a modern army, or a small workshop facing a factory assembly line. It is a force that you can never contend with."
"Thank you very much for the reminder, Mr. Panji, but your tone seems to be filled with too much emotion. Do you have some personal experiences you want to share with us?" Igula continued to ask without hesitation, just like prying open the edge of a can and poking it in all at once.
An Nan also looked at Banji with some confusion.
Banji was silent for a moment: "Miss, I took care of you in Sennheiser when you were little. That was not actually the master's order."
"That……?"
"It was Madam Qinna's request." Panji said, "My name at that time was Panji Sennheiser. After Madam Qinna separated from the master, I followed Madam Qinna and rebelled against Dolan."
Yaxiu was shocked: "A slave with three surnames?"
Banji glanced at him unhappily.
"The Dolan family has been very kind to me, and the master treats me like a family member. However, whether it is "kindness" or "love", they are all ethereal feelings that cannot be seen or touched and only exist in the heart. Because hearts cannot touch each other directly, there are barriers between everyone that cannot be broken through."
Ban Ji said: "However, the existence of the family reincarnation dream directly breaks the barrier, allowing everyone's hearts to be directly intertwined, and everyone can directly experience the inner world of strangers."
"So-called love, listening, communication, and fun are just manifestations of it. The real horror lies in the fact that emotions become tangible entities. Everyone's communication cannot be false and is sincere. This is why the family is as solid as a rock. This is the horror of family love."
"Anyone who has experienced this will never be able to leave the family - just like if you used to live in a clean city where everyone abides by the rules, it would be difficult for you to accept a filthy demon cave where chaos is rampant."
"Miss, you have never experienced the complete family reincarnation dream, because all minors can only stay in their own dreams and have not unlocked the "connection" function, and you left Sennheiser before you became an adult."
"If I had known your plan earlier, I would have definitely dissuaded you. Fanmula is the final form of the family. Ordinary people can't escape this sweet cage at all."
"Then how did you betray Sennheiser?" Igula suddenly asked.
"Because I need to protect the young lady." Ban Ji said frankly: "My love for the young lady overrides everything else, including myself and my family, so I can resist the pollution and assimilation of family love."
"I'm not looking down on you, but do you also have unrequited love?"
"I have."
Everyone looked in amazement at the necromancer who was the least likely to say this, but Harvey just silently lit up a second cat grass cigarette, trying to increase the burden on his body to relieve the pressure.
"So you're going to go against me?"
An Nan's tone was filled with undisguised dissatisfaction, but her gaze was not directed at the pancakes. Instead, she was looking at herself in the reflection of the goblet - it seemed that her real anger was not about opposition.
"No, Duolan's will is my destiny." Banji replied immediately.
"So," Ash changed the subject, "our next mission is to enter the family's reincarnation dream and become a rotten crotch who keeps falling in love?"
"To be precise, it is their mission."
An Nan quickly calmed down and turned back into the strategist, "Neither you nor Liz need it."
