In the ancient city in the sky, Ning Feng asked softly:
"In other words, who am I?"
Why are you so familiar with this place?
Why do you feel like you should belong here?
Ning Feng has actually been thinking about several questions like this.
Ning Feng is not the kind of slow creature who only wakes up when others tell him. He has long known that there is something wrong with him.
Always known.
He chose not to explore it for the time being because he didn't care at that time and could let it go for now.
What's more important is that at that time, he was not strong enough to explore the truth behind it.
This is not a world where we can explore the unknown at will. There are too many things that just knowing about them will bring pollution.
Gods are the most famous among them, and Ning Feng has an intuition that his secret may be related to those guys.
So, is he ready now?
not necessarily.
Ning Feng's strength has improved a lot compared to the past, and he has experienced a lot, but he is not 100% sure to resist.
But Ning Feng couldn't wait any longer.
The situation has changed now, and he can no longer continue to turn a blind eye.
The gods will return.
Unlike other humans who are only being told now or are still kept in the dark, he has known this for a long time, but he has never been so clear and sure as now.
Now Ning Feng can still clearly feel their gazes.
In the short half minute before, he had been remembered by the gods.
And there was more than one, at least more than five.
They looked at him with eyes full of malice, as if they wanted to see through everything about him.
Like a awn on the back.
Those indifferent eyes full of malice were like invisible hands, gradually strangling Ning Feng's throat, suffocating him to breathe.
But it's not all bad, there is also an advantage.
While they remembered Ning Feng, Ning Feng also remembered their scent.
Although I don't know if it is useful, if Ning Feng sees them again in the future, he will be able to accurately identify each other.
Then, in order not to be trampled to death the moment he recognized the other party, Ning Feng was now going to make some more preparations.
So now, we are also in Watch City, facing the same people.
Ning Feng asked again:
"who I am?"
This question was asked to him last time by a stargazer.
The answer at that time was:
"I am me, and it can only be me...that's all."
Whether facing stargazers or Cecilia, Ning Feng never minded directly expressing his disregard for the "past".
He was always just himself, not someone they wanted to see.
Whatever that means, whatever eminence or greatness that "he" has.
He doesn't care.
However, now he seeks answers from stargazers.
Who are you?
What kind of identity does it have?
What role did the gods play in this farce?
"Are you looking to me for answers?"
Facing Ning Feng's calm inquiry, "Chu Yu" was equally calm and nodded as if without any surprise.
"Indeed, I know some of the secrets you wish to obtain."
"About your 'past' and the special things about you, I can more or less guess something..."
There was a pause in her voice, and she sat down gently on the steps of the pool and asked:
"But, do you really want me to tell you directly?"
The being occupying Chu Yu's body stared at Ning Feng calmly and asked again:
"Have you really figured out what this means?"
What does it mean?
"If I tell you, you may be able to get through the current difficulties ahead of schedule, but maybe... you will never know the truth."
"That, the truth you have been chasing."
The truth that I have been chasing.
"……the truth."
I do not mind.
At first, Ning Feng wanted to say such words directly, but he soon realized what he was thinking.
No, he cares, very, very much.
"Tsk."
Damn it.
It’s this feeling again!
There was a sense of disobedience stuck in my throat, as if something was restraining me in the shadows behind me.
[I can’t ask any more questions.]
There was this sound again in my ears.
Ariana was not there, Cecilia was with her, no one was whispering in her ears, and no one else was affecting her mind.
That was Ning Feng's own voice, softly persuading.
【If you don’t want to really regret it.】
For a moment, Ning Feng really wanted to shout, and then let the stargazer tell everything regardless.
But in the end, Ning Feng restrained his impulse. He was not a slave to his emotions and should not let impulse control his thoughts.
Swallowing the impulse in his heart, Ning Feng suddenly frowned slightly and squinted his eyes slightly to look at the girl sitting by the pool.
There was a double image in the picture in front of me, as if there had been a similar figure sitting in the same position.
This scene made people care, but what really made Ning Feng frown was not this.
It's because the other party has lost its already weak human aura.
"I can tell you without reservation, if you want."
For some reason, Ning Feng always felt that when the other party said these words, there was a touch of sadness and...expectation.
After feeling it carefully, Ning Feng was convinced that the emotion was expectation.
Stargazer, what is she looking forward to?
What would it mean to her if she said it?
What consequences will it bring?
She was sitting in front of her, the two of them were only a few meters apart, but they seemed to be just a dead thing.
If he closed his eyes, Ning Feng felt that Chu Yu in front of him was just an ordinary statue in the city.
If Chu Yu's body wasn't still breathing and her chest was still rising and falling slightly, Ning Feng would have thought she was dead.
Or maybe...this is the truest answer.
He suddenly thought of something.
Although Stargazer knows a lot about Ning Feng, what do he know about her? What do he know?
Except for what was written in ancient books, to Ning Feng, she was more like a stranger who had been paying attention to him.
He didn't know what the other party was waiting for, what exactly the other party expected him to do, and he didn't even know her real name.
It’s not that I know nothing, but what I know is indeed very limited.
Facing such an unknown, mysterious and powerful existence, should I really continue to maintain such an attitude? Wouldn't it seem contemptuous?
Rather, wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant for me to face the stargazers directly without Ariana and Cecilia?
Ning Feng raised his eyebrows, but now he felt that it was unnecessary to think about these things now.
It's hard to explain and there is no basis for it, but Ning Feng's intuition is telling him that he can trust her.
"Haha, I'm really presumptuous..."
Damn it.
The clenched fist finally slowly loosened, and Ning Feng let out a long breath:
