"She doesn't want to see you, are you still going?"
After muting her microphone and going offline for a while, Ariana couldn't contain her curiosity and peeked out from the shadows to ask:
"Isn't this a bit... forceful?"
Are you trying to be a domineering CEO?
I'm so curious!
The pace of his steps remained constant, neither hurried nor slow.
As if he hadn't heard Ariana's voice, Ning Feng walked on calmly.
"...Oh?"
The black cat blinked, its interest piqued, and hugged Ning Feng's leg, launching into a half-hearted attempt at affection:
"Oops! I was wrong!"
Unfortunately, their true nature was soon revealed.
"You petty man, you actually hold a grudge! If you keep ignoring me, I'm going to cause trouble from now on!"
Go ahead and be angry, I have a whole house-destroying plan in the works.
If you dare to ignore me, I dare to actually do it.
Ning Feng's eyelid twitched, but he didn't press the matter. After a moment of silence, he said:
"I'm going to see her not because of possessiveness, nor because I disregard her feelings..."
"In fact, I have to go."
Jiang Wan's mental state is of paramount importance, as it will affect her entire future and should not be taken lightly.
Jiang Wan, trapped in a cycle of self-blame, needs someone who can listen to her and help her resolve her inner conflicts.
No one else is suitable for this role, except for Ning Feng.
Because they are like siblings, because they empathize with each other, because they are family.
Also because of them...
"She said she had something to tell me, and..."
I want to see her too.
There are so many things to say.
Instead of immediately chasing after her, Ning Feng slowed down, giving Jiang Wan more time to calm down.
Ning Feng encountered several Watchers along the way, and he smiled and nodded at them all, showing no sign of anything unusual.
To his surprise, many people gave him strange looks after seeing him.
Then stand still, make a fist with your right hand, and tap your heart three times.
The unique rituals of the Watchers express respect to the Watchers who have made significant contributions.
Normally, Ning Feng would stay and chat with him, but now he could only nod and return the greeting as he walked away.
We passed each other by without stopping.
Now, something more important awaits him.
"Then do you know where she'll go?"
Nodding slightly, Ning Feng spoke softly to the air, as if talking to himself:
"I knew, I knew from the very beginning."
"Are you that sure?"
Looking down into the black cat's eyes, he gave a faint, enigmatic smile.
"Yes, I'm quite sure, because that's... our only place to stay."
Although it was once their "home," it is still their "home."
As for Ning Feng and Jiang Wan now, they have nothing left.
She fell silent, leaving Ning Feng alone in the space.
On the way, Ning Feng quickly changed his clothes at the equipment room and picked up a temporary backup communication device.
After finally getting through layers of checkpoints, Ning Feng finally crossed the barrier and arrived on the street outside the Bincheng branch.
The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was just right, but few people on the street were appreciating the scenery around them.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Ning Feng felt as if he were in another world.
So much had happened in just a few days that Ning Feng was finding it hard to distinguish between what was real and what was fake.
Just a short while ago, these people's souls were trapped in the sky and were on the verge of death.
But now, they are completely unaware of what has happened, continuing their daily routines and becoming a cog in the social machine.
Is that endless battle real?
Or is the peaceful world before us the real reality?
Or rather, it's all real... all part of this world.
Walking into the crowd, Ning Feng embarked on his journey home.
But this time, he had a different feeling.
With the perception of a succubus and a judge angel, he could vaguely sense the emotions of every stranger he passed by as he walked through the crowd.
The quantity was so large that it was difficult to identify, but surprisingly, it did not make Ning Feng feel uncomfortable.
Although each of them had different feelings and different expressions, Ning Feng subconsciously felt comfortable just to feel their presence.
Even the suppressed feelings in my heart have been relieved a lot.
"...Perhaps, this is the meaning of the Watchers' existence."
What the watchers are guarding is this peaceful world.
It can make them forget the pain of death, and make them willingly reveal everything.
They weren't doing it for any one person, or for any one place.
What the Watchers protect is the world itself.
The world of ordinary people and the world of awakened beings are not separate, but rather complementary.
None of them can be missing.
"Therefore, the gods who might threaten all of this are the greatest enemies."
"..."
His last words were low and faded into the crowd.
No one heard clearly.
...
...
The journey wasn't long, and Ning Feng arrived at his destination.
A slightly old-looking detached villa stands alone, its yard overgrown with weeds due to neglect, giving it a somewhat eerie and frightening appearance.
Ning Feng did not hesitate and walked into the courtyard with ease, even picking a few bunches of decent gardenias from the flowerbed as usual.
The door was gently pushed open; someone had entered not long ago but had not locked it.
