this infinite world

——The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying.

If anyone said that Mr. Jin didn't understand women as well as Mr. Gu, then Yang Yun would definitely throw this statement in his face.

Zhao Yingkong said she wanted to lean on Yang Yun's shoulder for a while, but in fact, she leaned on Yang Yun's shoulder quietly the whole night... to be more precise, it was thirteen hours, eighteen minutes and thirty-two seconds. During this long period of time, Zhao Yingkong remained silent, and only her even breathing echoed in the empty underground world.

Yang Yun could only maintain the same posture, and even thoughtfully used the power of the second-level gene lock to change the muscles on his shoulders, allowing Zhao Yingkong to sleep more comfortably, and performed his duties perfectly.

In this underground world where day and night do not change, time seems to have lost its meaning. When Zhao Yingkong finally slowly opened her eyes, Yang Yun immediately noticed her awakening.

"Good morning."

Yang Yun spoke immediately. He was surprised to find that he didn't feel bored, so he chose to hide his inner thoughts calmly under his words: "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"A short rest is a rare kind of relaxation, but if you indulge in this stable time, it is contrary to the way of an assassin."

Although she said this, Zhao Yingkong had no intention of getting up. She continued to lean on Yang Yun's shoulder and said, "I'm dreaming."

"What did you dream about?"

"Some memories from the past... those on that island belong to another me."

Zhao Yingkong hesitated for a moment, but in the end she said: "...it's not something worth paying attention to."

Yang Yun was keenly aware that Zhao Yingkong's tone seemed not as cold as last night, but more gentle, closer to the personality of Zhao Yingkong.

This subtle change made Yang Yun understand something, and he asked: "So... have you made a choice?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yingkong moved her body, stretched slightly, and stepped away from Yang Yun's shoulders. She was not stingy about exposing the girl's beautiful body to the eyes of those around her.

——This seemingly random behavior was something that Zhao Yingkong would never do before.

"In the past, I was 'Zhao Yingkong', and now I am also 'Zhao Yingkong'. No matter which 'Zhao Yingkong' is missing, I will no longer be me."

Zhao Yingkong's words carried a certain determination and a certain relief: "Just like the other me said, I have the qualifications to decide my own destiny."

The girl calmed down her emotions, took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, and re-examined the world in front of her with her clear and firm eyes: "And carrying everything in her past and moving forward with her is my ultimate goal. s Choice."

The two distinct memories, although completely different, are both an integral part of "Zhao Yingkong". The first half is the foundation of her life, giving her love and warmth; while the second half is the mark of her growth, shaping her courage and tenacity. The two are intertwined to form her complete self, making her existence richer and more three-dimensional.

Zhao Yingkong on the small island, Zhao Yingkong from the Assassin family, Zhao Yingkong getting along with Zhao Zukong; Zhao Yingkong getting along with the main god space, Zhao Yingkong getting along with the Zhongzhou team, Zhao Yingkong after the resurrection... Everything together draws the unique "Zhao Yingkong" .

"...That's it."

Yang Yun understood what the other party meant. Although it seemed that Zhao Yingkong's choice was no different from before, Zhao Yingkong, who had a strong personality, just handed over the things he left to Zhao Yingkong's hands, and now he made a choice and decided to take over this The gift was given by Zhao Yingkong herself. Moreover, she has the awareness to accept this gift, and at the same time not to be affected by this gift, and to practice the way in her heart. Zhao Yingkong knew that no matter how the memories merged, no matter how the power infected her, she was still her unique self. She must face the past and bravely face the future.

——She finally made the same choice as her other self, a difficult choice made by relying on her own strength.

It's just that for some reason, Yang Yun should be happy for Zhao Yingkong's choice, but feeling the weight that had been with him for a long time leave his shoulders, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Yang Yun quickly adjusted his mentality, turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yingkong: "Congratulations, Yingkong."

"Don't you want to ask me what exactly I dreamed about?" Zhao Yingkong stood up.

"You should...don't need to ask, you have your privacy, and as a partner, I feel sincerely happy for you."

Suppressing the inexplicable disappointment in his heart, Yang Yun smiled and said: "The important thing is that you made your own choice. This is more important than anything else."

"You know, Yang Yun? Sometimes what you should do is ask questions instead of leaving room for others to change like a prophet who thinks he understands other people's moods."

Yang Yun thought that he had said the most correct words, but Zhao Yingkong in front of her obviously didn't think so. She sighed, then knelt down again and hugged Yang Yun from behind: "Just now , I dreamed about my brother and sister."

"While resting on your shoulder, I felt the familiar warmth in my dream, just like an older brother."

The girl put all her weight on Yang Yun's back, pressing Yang Yun's small body forward slightly. But she was not even satisfied, and even put her lips to Yang Yun's ear. He said softly: "But from this point of view, your shoulders are obviously so thin that I can even hold you in my arms, just like I hugged my former sister..."

The warm breath beside his ears stirred up fine airflow, stimulating the keen senses belonging to the fourth level; and the alluring words and the emotion in his tone made Yang Yun's brain pause for a moment. machine.

However, before Yang Yun could say anything, the girl's body left his back. When Yang Yun suddenly turned around, he could only see Zhao Yingkong's back facing towards him, walking towards the elevator.

"Don't get me wrong." She said, "This is just a way for us brothers and sisters to show our affection when we were on that island... Ruikong and I often do it."

After saying that, Zhao Yingkong turned around and left, walking quickly towards the elevator. But her pace was obviously a little faster and a little messier than before, and the redness behind her ears proved that the girl's heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

——That’s all.

Looking at Zhao Yingkong's figure who boarded the elevator and left without looking back, Yang Yun couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, he felt that his originally confused heart had calmed down incredibly.

"Yes, since you have made your own choice, as the current captain of the Zhongzhou Team, I have an obligation to help you find out."

Yang Yun, who was talking to himself, stood up and walked towards the River of Life step by step. There was an inexplicable determination in his steps until his entire body was immersed in the river water and he sank all the way down the river. The water gently embraced Yang Yun's body, and as he sank, everything around him seemed to drift away.

Yang Yun closed his eyes, as if to isolate himself from the world, completely immersing his spirit in the depths of his heart, forgetting both things and me...

Next, it was my turn to find my own way to become stronger. (End of chapter)
