Book 1: Chapter 145

I walked along the third floor and then went up the stairs. He also came over and the two of us looked at each other calmly. Upon closer inspection, his face really did resemble A Nings. It was a face that made people alert and gave off a sense of danger, which made people unable to look away. He looked very comfortable in a gray sweater and a cigarette in his mouth. His bangs were covering his eyes.

His overall appearance looked like that of a leisurely tourist. When I looked closer, I found that he was taller than me.

This height isnt suitable for this line of work, I said to myself. He motioned to his cigarette, but I shook my head and leaned against the railing. He opened his mouth and said, "Youre living very well."

It was useless to explain anything to him. A Ning had really disappeared from this world. I looked at the sky over the courtyard. If A Ning hadnt died, many things might have subtly changed. But the memory of that day was there and couldnt be changed. I didnt want to relive the past now.nove(l)bi(n.)com

"I remember your sister mentioned you before," I whispered. "Are you doing this for her? Youre not suitable for it."

"Is that so? I took this job to find you." He narrowed his eyes and looked at me. "You know what? My sister never wanted to trust others, but she believed in you later on. The last few times I spoke to her, she was always talking about you. Later, she didn't come back and they said that she was dead. I just want to know what kind of person you are since she had mentioned you the last few times."

"No, she thought I was amusing, too." I laughed, "I may be more amusing than most people."

When I recalled A Ning today, I could think of many things that I couldn't see back in those days. Now, for me, people's hearts were measurable. It was just like how A Ning looked at me at that time, as if she were looking through a clear piece of glass. For those who had correctly read too many people, it was like seeing too many ghosts and gods. Everything looked like demons and monsters to them. As a result, they always tried to see things that were amusing.

"But you left her in that jungle." A Ning's brother's face darkened. "And just look at you now. Youve completely forgotten her. She thought that you really had a chance to save everyone, but you didn't even save her. I dont find you amusing at all."

I looked into the distance. The woman I met in the dining room who looked like A Ning came out of the Wolf King's Den and looked at us. "You werent there, I said quietly. You dont know anything. You hate me so muchI turned to look at him but youre just nave. How do you plan to kill me?"

Got a good chuckle out of Wu Xie calling Bai Haotian his child.
