Although the old man has become a little different from him, he can still find a little warmth in his cold heart.

For example, in the future he... seems to be living like Lu Zihang.

His words all revealed that frivolous feeling.

Presumably, this is also a kind of nostalgia for the past.

The me in that world... must have been lonely to some extent.

Zhang Feng thought so and slowly opened his eyes.

He first looked at the ceiling covered with bugs.

Ignoring the sudden pain in his left eye, he turned his attention to Zhao Yijin again.

he thinks.

If there is no reminder from him in the future.

Will these people, his friends, his lover, and his mother all die?

If he saw their deaths with his own eyes, he would probably go crazy.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Zhao Yijin was a little impatient.

She strode past Zhang Feng, reached for the soul bead, and then said: "Aren't you going to take this bead? Why are you so stupid that you don't move, and you even sit down."

"Haha, just, I suddenly remembered something. You can take this bead. It's time for us to leave."

Zhang Feng waved his hand and asked Zhao Yijin nonchalantly.

After getting the soul beads, Zhao Yijin left here under the guidance of Zhang Feng.

After the two left, the insects in the house became restless. They kept vibrating their wings, making sounds like swarms of wasps.

After a few seconds, these bugs flew to the ground, squeezed together, and gradually condensed into human shapes.

"What's going on...it's different from what Zhuo'er said..."

The old man made of bugs twisted her body, and thin legs covered with burrs crawled across her face. As she spoke, spiders kept pouring out of her mouth...

After muttering something, she fell silent.

After a long time, she transformed into insects again and flew out of the underground palace in a swarm.

By the time Zhang Feng came out, it was already dark.

The huge Dong Mansion was actually empty, not even a bird feather.

The overall atmosphere was eerily silent.

Zhang Feng didn't think much about it.

Judging from the soul bead, he already understood that this place was a trap.

It's just... what he doesn't know now is whether the script wants to harm him... or the people in the script want to harm him.

The old man did not make this clear.

I'm afraid, he can't be sure.

Some people may say that there is no difference between the script wanting to harm him and the people in the script wanting to harm him.

But actually...it's very different.

The former means that the entire script is designed to target him, and the latter means that although the principal is designing to harm him, there is no limit to what he can decide.

At present, Zhang Feng feels that the situation is more inclined to the latter.

It feels like a group of people hunting for treasure in a basement. The level boss can make them all disappear with just a snap of his fingers, but he has to dig a deep hole and put a treasure box in the hole for people to pick up.

This trap is obvious, but there will always be SB who will be fooled for the treasure box. At this time, it will take the opportunity to kill other people. Those people will not complain about the level boss, but will blame their teammates.

Zhang Feng thinks.

If... the principal can really directly decide his life or death, then there is no need to design so many things to lead him to a dead end.

However, he was not so sure, so he decided to test it out.

According to normal logic, he did not touch the soul pearl... The principal's plan was broken, and he would definitely get the news over there.

In addition, the old man said that the principal could detect the old man's presence, so... he would definitely become suspicious.

If you have doubts, you will definitely be tested.

If you think about it further along this line...who will come to test?

Is it an NPC or a student?

If an NPC comes, it means that the principal can control the world of the script. At that time, he can just pretend to be a grandson and be done with it.

Suppose you are a student.

This shows that the principal cannot directly control the world of the script, so he will have a lot more room for manipulation...

Old man: You have thrown out the message I told you "Don't mess with the principal"???

Think so.

Zhang Feng moved forward unimpeded.

He deliberately avoided the brightly lit streets and chose to wander through the alleys. It took him a while to return to the inn from Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Although Zhao Yijin didn't know why Zhang Feng did this, she rarely said much and just followed him silently.

Arriving at the back of the inn, Zhang Feng climbed up the wall with the help of the night, and got back into the room he had reserved.

Zhao Yijin, on the other hand, raised his head in confusion, looking at Zhang Feng who crawled into the room like Spider-Man.

What she wondered was not only whether Zhang Feng had forgotten her, but also...how could he climb walls so skillfully!

In the room, Zhang Feng climbed into the window gently.

"who!"

As soon as he put down his feet, a soft drink came into his ears, and he lowered his head subconsciously.

Then an arrow grazed his scalp.

If he hadn't been able to hide quickly, he would have been shot through the eye.

"No, you can't see clearly under such a huge moonlight, right? Just shoot at anyone you see!"

Zhang Feng stared at the beautiful figure in the room with a shocked face, and the complaints in his heart were clearly visible.

"I...who knew it was you? I've been attacked three times in one day...of course I have to be more vigilant."

Xia Houyuan pursed his lips and put on a look that said, "It's not me that's wrong, it's the world."

Zhang Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly and ignored her.

He walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing him like this, Xia Houyuan continued to ask:

"How's it going? Is the mission completed?"

"It's done, the soul pearl is also...obtained."

After talking for a while, Zhang Feng suddenly remembered... There seemed to be someone following him behind him.

"So, where are the soul beads?"

"The soul pearl is..."

"Hey...is there anyone there? Brother? I can't climb up."

Listening to the soft call coming from outside the window, Zhang Feng bit his lower lip in embarrassment.

He was thinking about the old man's words along the way, which caused him to subconsciously forget... There was someone following behind him.

"Well...I see clearly. You even forgot that you brought someone back with you!"

Xia Houyuan complained about Zhang Feng mercilessly.

"It's annoying, it's so annoying. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, okay? You almost shot me through the eye just now."

"What you said is that I am alert, but you are obviously just being stupid!" Xia Houyuan retorted.

"Nonsense, that's what you call stupid. You're obviously playing with bows, but in the end you can't even tell who the person is."

"you!"

"You two, can you stop arguing?" Zhao Yijin downstairs was almost numb.

The two idiots upstairs got louder and louder, attracting the attention of other tenants.

She tried her best to lower her voice so as not to attract more attention.

Zhang Feng/Xia Houyuan: "..."
