Just as Mu Yao was about to charge into the fog, starlight flickered in the eastern sky.
“Hurry up and go. The spatial node is about to be formed. You might still be able to make it in time.” A hoarse laughter sounded in the fog.
Hearing this, Mu Yao turned to the east and her expression changed.
She looked at the fog again and said coldly,
“Wang Jinsheng, wait for me. 1 will kill you!”
Then, her figure suddenly rose into the sky, turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Hearing Mu Yao call the living being in the fog “Wang Jinsheng”, Feng Qi’s ears buzzed.
“How is that possible!”
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded in the fog.
“It’s your turn. Become part of my collection.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog entered his body and quickly circulated around. The flame of his life was quickly extinguished.
When he opened his eyes, he had already returned to reality.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. It’s just that their names are the same.”
He kept comforting himself.
He knew better than anyone else what kind of person Old Wang was.
He believed that anyone could betray humanity, except Old Wang.
He even felt that Old Wang was more suitable to be a savior than him. If it was Old Wang, he would definitely be able to do better.
After six years of being together day and night, Old Wang was the beacon of his life.
He shaped his worldview and gave him a tenacious will.
It was Old Wang who told him to believe in the future. It was also Old Wang who told him that mankind would definitely win.
Therefore, how could he be a domain creature?
“Must be just a similar name.”
Ah [Qi, do you remember what Wei Wei said? All the geniuses of the new generation experienced assassinations. Only Old Wang has smoothly become a Historic Great. Everything went too smoothly, so it seemed very suspicious.] “Shut up, that’s impossible!”
The faith in his heart was on the verge of collapse. He was unwilling to believe that the Wang Jinsheng that Mu Yao spoke of was Old Wang.
[Ah Qi, 1 didn’t say that it must be Old Wang. Now, you’re the one who has doubts about him.]
“I don’t!”
[The seed of calamity was planted more than 1,000 years ago. The person who did this must be someone that the entire human race believes in. As a Historic Great, Wang Jinsheng is very suspicious. Perhaps something he introduced has subtly influenced humans. It’s as if a switch that can be passed down through the bloodline has been implanted The moment it’s activated, the lifeforms implanted with it will be instantly controlled and become his nutrients.]
Hearing the narrator’s answer, Feng Qi’s emotions fluctuated violently.
Every time he fell, he would stand up tenaciously, but this time, he could not take it anymore.
When he first learned that human civilization would be destroyed, he thought of what Old Wang had said in class. He felt that he should take responsibility for the era and go against the current.
Therefore, no matter how ferocious the enemy was, he would not give in. No matter how difficult the path ahead was, he would never give up.
However, this time, his values were shaken.
If even the person who believed most strongly that mankind would prevail win had become a traitor, what was there to believe in in the future?
“No, no,” he kept muttering to himself.
He pushed open the dormitory door and ran out.
It was raining outside, and he was running alone in the rain, his emotions on the verge of breakdown.
[Ah Qi, calm down…]
Feng Qi did not listen to the narrator’s persuasion at all. After falling in the rain, he stood up and walked in a daze.
Tears fell with the raindrops.
At the end of the day, Feng Qi was only a 17-year-old youth. The grievance and depression in his heart completely erupted at this moment.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the school gate.
Seeing Feng Qi, the guard asked curiously,
“Teacher Feng, why aren’t you using an umbrella in the heavy rain? I have…”
Feng Qi ignored him and walked out of the school gate.
Presently, his heart was filled with confusion, and the faith in his heart was about to collapse.
He would rather not know all of this and continue struggling to advance in defeat than learn such a cruel truth.
At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of him. After the car door opened, the driver shouted at him,
“Young man, why aren’t you using an umbrella on a rainy day? Get in quickly.”
Feng Qi did not reply and got in the taxi in a daze.
“Where are you going?”
“Anywhere… Just find a place to drop me off.”
Hearing Feng Qi’s answer, the driver was stunned. Then, he steered the vehicle forward.
“Young man, what’s wrong?”
“I lost my dream,” Feng Qi replied stiffly. At the same time, his tears could not stop falling.
When the driver heard that, he immediately said,
“Young man, I’ve been through this before…”
Feng Qi did not listen to what he said. Looking at the raindrops that kept hitting the windows, he was lost.
It was like a sky covered by dark clouds. There was no light.
Actually, he was aware that there were many suspicious points about Wang Jinsheng.
However, he still felt that they were just a coincidence, and he was even more unwilling to suspect Old Wang.
Even though Wei Wei had mentioned a lot of doubts about Old Wang, he didn’t take them seriously.
The Old Wang in his heart was his savior. It was impossible for him to betray humanity.
As Feng Qi pondered, the confusion in his heart intensified. He realized that his determination had also been shaken.
He only felt very tired and wanted to rest.
The vehicle drove around aimlessly for more than an hour before finally stopping.
“Time get off.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he took out his cell phone and wanted to pay the bill, but he immediately realized that the car had stopped at the entrance of Star City Academy.
At this moment, the driver said,
“Young man, you can find another dream if you have lost yours. If you feel tired, rest for a while, but you can’t give up your dream.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
He turned to look at the driver and realized that it was the driver who had sent him to Star City Academy.
“Young man, why are you looking at me like that? The salary of Star City High School is enough to support the family, but my shrew is very strict with her money. I have to hand over my salary in full. I’m just out to earn my secret stash.”
Looking at the shocked Feng Qi, the driver grinned.
“I won’t charge you this time. All endings are a new beginning, and the end is also the beginning. Now, I’ve sent you back to the starting point… Let’s start over.”
The end is also the beginning?
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi thought of his repeated efforts, his peers in the Scarlet Research Institute, and his future self who had chosen to sacrifice himself to help him.
Every end point was a new beginning.
Every failure would also create a brand new future.
At this moment, the flame that was about to be extinguished in his heart was reignited.
At this moment, the driver pressed the switch on the steering wheel and the car door slowly opened.
“Don’t get in the way of my secret stash now. Get off quickly. Students from Star City High School can’t be so embarrassing. Go back and continue working hard.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he nodded hard and got out of the car.
“Young man, enjoy the good things while you’re young. Remember what I told you back then. No matter how bad your results are, your battle record can’t be 0. That’s all. Bye.”
As soon as the driver finished speaking, the door closed automatically.
The driver, who had been driving slowly just now, revealed his true nature at this moment. He selected the ejector start and began racing.
During this period, he almost collided with a car. From afar, Feng Qi heard the driver open the car window and curse.
[This driver is really cool! ]
“Mm.” Feng Qi nodded.
[Ah Qi, don’t give up. It’s just a guess now. 1 don’t believe that Old Wang will betray humanity either. Perhaps there’s something else going on.]
“I know. I’ll investigate. 1 was just in low spirits just now. I’ve recovered after venting.”
[Would you need to cry out loud when your just in low spirits? 1 took a screenshot of that scene just now. You have to call me daddy a few times before I’ll delete it.]
“I didn’t cry.”
[Are you refusing to admit it? Pui! ]
“Rebound!”
[Rebound your rebound]
“Rebound ineffective.”
[Foolish living dead. How childish.]
“Idiotic system…”
