As dusk approached, the dim, golden light bathed the small church in a golden glow.
Unlike its damaged state during the previous battle, the church seems to have been restored to its original state over time, with no trace of its original dilapidation and decay.
This is a remote suburb of Bincheng, sparsely populated. There are hardly any people or even animals here, so no one would see you here. Ning Feng didn't take any special precautions.
Seeing the two women hesitating as they recalled what had happened here, Ning Feng smiled gently and walked inside first.
"Come in, this is our final destination for today, and the end of our journey."
He walked up to the two women, took their hands, and led them toward the church.
Creak.
The church doors opened automatically the moment he arrived, as if welcoming a distinguished guest, revealing their interior.
Unlike its unchanging exterior, the interior of the church has undergone a complete transformation.
The entire space has become completely different. The rows of seats have disappeared, as have the mysterious statues. The seemingly empty and somewhat dark space feels rather desolate.
Darkness often represents a threat, but Ning Feng didn't care and stepped inside.
call……
As he passed through the door, a faint breeze blew past him, instantly sweeping across the entire church.
Ning Feng's footsteps were light and steady as he walked step by step into the darkness.
Click click click.
Silently, floating light sources appeared continuously, igniting silvery-white light all around the space.
Ning Feng's figure appeared inexplicably tall in Xilin and the others' eyes, and each step he took dispelled the darkness in the space.
The flames spread out like a carpet underfoot, leading to the very center of the church.
boom.
On the floor in the center of the church, intricate and ornate patterns lit up, eventually filling the space with a special magic.
Enveloped in an invisible wave, the restless mind was directly calmed, and the anxiety in one's heart was soothed.
Although she had calmed down, Xilin's unease and confusion hadn't disappeared. After Ning Feng stopped, she asked him directly:
"Ning Feng, you brought us here, did you report it?"
After Ning Feng completely resolved Li Tiandu's problem, he was too exhausted to care about anything else. Xilin simply took him back to his room and did not interfere with the handling of the church.
According to the procedures at the time, this church, which had intricate connections with the gods, was naturally recovered by the personnel of the "Observer Project". Shirin never expected to see this church again.
Although she didn't observe it closely at the time, and because she was in a bad mood and had no interest in it, Shirin was certain that the church was definitely a large-scale extraordinary artifact, possibly even a third-tier or higher artifact.
Although this is on the edge of Bincheng, it is still a world of ordinary people, and such surreal architecture should not exist here.
If this situation goes unnoticed, it's fine, but if it affects the ordinary world, the final impact will be significant.
If someone uses this as an excuse to attack, the situation will become very troublesome.
Although Jiang Wan didn't ask, her eyes were also filled with worry.
But Ning Feng wasn't worried about this. He stood in the middle of the arena, looked around, and said:
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with what we're doing right now, and no one will criticize us."
Seeing their somewhat worried expressions, Ning Feng explained:
“What we are doing now is completely compliant, and no one has the right to stop us.”
You're talking about compliance?
"Of course."
Ning Feng nodded earnestly, waved to them, and continued walking slowly forward through the center.
"This place had originally been reclaimed by the Watchers, but after investigation and research, they decided to preserve and restore it."
"So, the ownership of this place has actually been held by the Watchers all along."
Ning Feng led Xilin and Jiang Wan to the end of the road and stopped in front of the huge pipe organ.
The metal structure looks complex and ornate. The headless angels that were previously on it have all disappeared. It's unclear whether they were completely removed. Now it just looks like an ordinary musical instrument.
With his back to the two women, Ning Feng's expression changed slightly, and he raised his hand to gently touch the piano keys.
Although he returned here on his own initiative, seeing this still brought back many memories for Ning Feng.
That night was unbearably dark, the blade of the headless angel was sharp, the sonata-like rhapsody was playing, and those eyes were filled with madness and sorrow.
call……
Ning Feng exhaled softly, shook his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and chuckled:
"Speaking of which, do you guys remember why I participated in the Star Chaser competition in the first place?"
Why?
Logically speaking, most people who participate in that competition do so for fame or other purposes, but none of those apply to Ning Feng.
For the sake of status, he was a member of the Watchers, and was already part of a powerful force.
For the sake of strength, he had only recently become an Awakened at that time, and there were many ways to improve it.
The idea that it's for resources is even more absurd. Putting aside the supplies provided by the Watchers themselves, Ning Feng is even the lover of a legend. If he really wanted to live off a woman, he wouldn't need to work hard for those resources at all.
Since there was no real benefit to that competition, there was only one reason why he still participated.
"Remember now? Yes, I was in a semi-voluntary situation back then, all because of that mandatory task."
The "Mandatory Mission," a special mission that the Watchers both love and hate, is also one of Ning Feng's main reasons for participating.
And, at that time, an irresponsible piece of advice from some unreliable, offline demon.
"Although I didn't win the championship in the end, I still completed the mission requirements, which you all know, right?"
"Aren't you curious about what the reward is?"
Ning Feng didn't believe anyone could do that mandatory task more perfectly than him, and that no one was better than him.
Turning around, Ning Feng leaned slightly against the organ, looked at the two of them, and smiled:
“When I went to see the Stargazer before, she gave me not only that token, but also a reward that hadn’t been given out before.”
"This is the reward I received for that mandatory mission."
His tone carried a strange undertone, as if he were somewhat shy, but Ning Feng eventually overcame his emotions and spoke:
"According to that gentleman, this is not the original church, but..."
The silver flames throughout the space synchronized with his breathing, becoming dazzling at that moment!
"My sanctuary."
