Chapter 80 Chapter 62 Midnight 2

"Is…?"

The atmosphere at that moment was so strange that Ni Lan could sense that something was wrong, but she had no idea what was going on.

Coupled with the sensitivity of midnight to him, Ni Lan suspected that Puis knew something.

Puyis felt heavy-hearted as he finally determined the significance of "Zero Point" to Ni Lan.

Memory reset?

Side effects of super powers?

Or...time?

Ni Lan's ability is definitely not a simple "recovery", this is a "consensus" they and Teacher Qian Che reached a long time ago.

On top of that, the only thing that seemed to be left was 'time' in order to have the ability to restore the effect while being able to act without them even realizing it.

But Ni Lan never admitted it, so they could only guess and could not be sure.

Restore...time...

fall back?

The memory is not reset... but regressed?

Resetting would not remember them, and reversing would explain why he remembers them but not what just happened.

Puis' pupils suddenly shrank, this seemed to be the most reasonable explanation!

Suddenly, a rare intuition emerged, denying this conjecture for his reason.

Even if we go backwards, there will be an end.

"Alan, are you tired?"

"..." The young man's eyes widened slightly, and his golden pupils were full of doubts, but his almost instinctive sharpness made him aware of Puis's temptation.

He had to answer, even though he didn't know what it meant.

"No... not tired..."

However, this answer did not seem to satisfy his friend, and his face still looked quite heavy.

Why do I feel like... it's over?

——

Puyis was not angry. After all, Ni Lan had been mysterious since he appeared, and he had hidden so many things.

From hostility in the beginning, to vigilance, to becoming friends now, Ni Lan's perfect smiling mask seems to be gradually broken.

After all that had happened, Puys thought he and Pomeranz were trustworthy.

No... this description is not accurate. Ni Lan has always trusted them. The things he doesn't trust come from their incomprehensible existence...

Just like now, when Ni Lan didn't realize that he was touching his "secret", the boy didn't have any intention of struggling to withdraw his hand.

He was just confused.

So, what are you hiding?

Alan.

Midnight... It's a pity that Ni Lan is leaving tomorrow. If he had realized it earlier, he might have been able to discover more from this aspect.

"Go and have a rest, Ni Lan. You have a long way to go tomorrow."

"…Um."

It was a bit puzzling, and Ni Lan felt that something terrible was going on that was beyond his control.

But...compared to this trivial matter...

For Ni Lan, who was fighting wits and courage with the housekeeper and servants in the prime minister's house the day before - after eight months, he finally saw Yi Si again!

He chose to ignore the doubt in Puis's eyes.

The young man's smile suddenly blossomed, and precious time once again returned to his palm.

He was somewhat impatient to see Pomo, even though according to Puisi, today was the day he would "leave" Fengshi.

"Where is Ah Mo?" Ni Lan finally began to look around. After nearly ten years of time and darkness, he was able to recognize where this place was with his extraordinary 'feeling'. "Is he taking a hot spring bath?"

Puys felt a little tired... but not physically.

He was clearly suffering the inevitable price of the "time power", facing the piercing pain from life and death, and there were countless forces "watching him covetously"...

But he doesn't care about himself at all.

On the contrary, when he saw him being injured, he revealed an almost insane rage and murderous intent.

What did A-Mo and I do to deserve your protection?

And you, Alan...what have you been through, why are you still able to...

How about smiling like this?

——

Ni Lan didn't expect to see Pu Aoshi here, but this also meant that he succeeded in one of the things he was going to do.

As if sensing something, Pomo spotted him immediately and waved.

"Alan, you haven't slept yet, why don't you come and soak for a while!"

Soaking in a hot spring is very comfortable, but soaking for a long time is not good for your health. However, that is only true for ordinary people. A physically strong psychic will certainly not feel dizzy because of this temperature and this time.

Ni Lan shook her head and answered very honestly, "No, I just came to see you."

"Brother Ni Lan, come and join us in the fun!"

Pu Aoshi invited him enthusiastically, because this would greatly increase the probability of Brother Es coming to bathe in the hot spring.

But Ni Lan doesn't really like soaking in hot springs or taking baths, because he hates the feeling of being wrapped in water.

The boy shook his head, "I'm having fun, so I won't come."

Pomo blinked, then jumped out of the hot spring.

"Ao Shi, just stay here first, we'll talk later!"

"Okay, Brother Pomo."

In such a short time he had changed his way of addressing him to 'brother', and Pu Ao Shi was sincerely convinced.

My brother's friends are all very good guys, what's wrong with calling him 'brother'?

Ni Lan smiled with relief, looking at Bo Mo who was coming over. Although he couldn't say it out loud, he still greeted him in his heart.

Long time no see, Amo.

The two walked into the house together. The corridor was empty.

"You're leaving tomorrow, remember to bring everything with you."

There are so many special products here in Shenzhen, all of which are very commemorative.

"good."

"Especially the shells I picked up! Be sure to remember them!"

Ni Lan belatedly touched his pocket, and the beautiful shell had not yet been made into a pendant by him, and was lying quietly inside.

It turned out that Ah Mo gave it to him in Shennan...

This means that the photos and the shells will soon disappear...

"Yes! I will bring it!"

There was nothing wrong with Ni Lan's expression. It was just like the air. Just because you can't feel it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Pomo went back to his room and put on a coat. After walking into the garden with him, he asked.

"Did Ess tell you something?"

The boy's smile was as bright as usual, but the questions he asked were so sharp.

Pomer's extraordinary intuition makes him successful in capturing other people's emotions.

Ever since the day Diane's plan fell through, Puys's eyes were most likely focused on Ni Lan.

He dragged Pu Ao Shi to take a hot spring bath, so as to leave enough time for the two of them to communicate.

But now it seems that Es's communication is not going smoothly.

Bo Mo was not surprised at all. Once Ni Lan made up her mind, she would never change it easily.

Ni Lan's inexplicable feelings for them allow them to be invincible and fearless in this friendship, but using this to break their friend's secret will only cause harm to him.

What Pomo was most concerned about was the fact that Ni Lan [killed] Pu Yisi, but as the reason for this was also "exposed", Pomo no longer had any grudges in his heart.

He cares about Ni Lan herself.

"Alan, I don't know how to preach, and I know you don't want to talk about those things, so I won't ask." The boy shook his head shyly, as if he had really let it go.

But will Pomo really let it go?

As expected, the boy changed the subject, and a strong strategic intent appeared in his emerald green eyes.

He took another step forward. Although there was no obstacle behind him, Ni Lan had nowhere to escape.

"But, Esther and I will definitely uncover the secrets hidden behind you. We will never give up."

Whether Ni Lan is willing or not, this is the determination they both share.

It was the first time that Ni Lan faced such an aggressive Pomo. The blond boy was always given the warmth of the sun, but it always made people forget that the sun can also give life.

Like Puys, he was never a 'good guy' in the traditional sense.

As a qualified psychic, the proper moral character is to use any means necessary to achieve the goal.

Just like Puys said.

He would not force Ni Lan to say something she was unwilling to do, but Ni Lan could not stop them from getting the truth.

Like a fire chasing oxygen, like a strong wind chasing the sky.

Until it burns out, until the wind blows away everything.

Until then, never give up.

Ni Lan stared at Pomo in a daze, and it was not until Pomo began to doubt whether he had gone too far that the young man came to his senses.

Only then did Pomo complete the final reason.

"Because we are friends! Whether it is a crisis or pain, we should face it together!"

Ni Lan was not frightened by his friend's strength; he was surprisingly calm.

Because this scene, which was like an "interrogation", was nothing compared to what Pomo said, "We are friends."

When Ni Lan's time came to an end, it was these same words that brought him out of his narrow world.

In other words, this sentence is a reason, which is really great.

So Ni Lan looked at Bo Mo and smiled, so sincerely and so happily.

For Pomo, the feeling that he was clearly looking at him, but it felt like he was looking at someone else, came over him again.

Who are you looking at?

Ni Lan pretended that he noticed nothing. He brought the conversation back to reality and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Yeah, I know."

Friends who are brave enough to challenge and pursue the truth will naturally not let him go.

"I know, Amo."

The truth you are seeking also ends in time.

This is a race against time.

The so-called secret is actually a fact that the two will know in the future.

Ni Lan has already won.

——

Parting is meeting, and parting is meeting.

Ni Lan suppressed her excitement, not wanting to be misunderstood as being happy to leave them.

Eight months was a long time for him. Although Ni Lan was used to waiting patiently, the deep longing in her heart would not lie.

There were important things waiting for him to accomplish in the past, so reality seemed so precious.

Wave goodbye when you say goodbye.

"Alan! Be safe!!! I'll come find you after school starts!" Bomo stood the highest and shouted the loudest, as if he was afraid that Ni Lan would not recognize him or even run away after school started.

If Pomo hadn't been afraid of scaring his friend too much, he would probably have left with him.

"Be careful." Puis also waved to him as he saw him off.

The airship started to move, and soon Pomer and Puis could no longer see Ni Lan standing by the high window.

Good times never wait, they always pass, and they will meet again eventually.

The long river flowing backwards belongs only to those who can run faster than the rushing waves.

Ni Lan's adventure in Shenzhen has just begun.

[Life and Death Inn - Deep South, End]
