Aoba Office

The biggest difference between us and the ghost kings is that they can find us, but we can't find them.

Modern surveillance methods are already very advanced and widely distributed, but they cannot make a person invisible.

That level of surveillance can only monitor living people, not ghosts.

If you can't find it, it's all in vain.

None of us can take someone's head thousands of miles away, let alone kill a ghost king directly out of thin air.

This huge disadvantage is difficult to make up for and can be said to be a fundamental deficiency.

Ye Qing's big plan may have been born from this. There is no way to kill all the ghost kings, so just target the only one. No matter how hard it is to find that one, there is still a target.

I looked at Chen Xiaoqiu for a while.

This time Chen Xiaoqiu is not fake, but even if it is true, she has no way to break the situation here. The news she brought only confirmed that Han Yun did not deceive me.

Two people have already given up and died, dead forever...

I closed my eyes.

"I want to talk to Wu Ling on the phone." I said to Chen Xiaoqiu.

Chen Xiaoqiu took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and put the phone to my ear.

The call was quickly connected.

I didn't say anything, and neither did Wu Ling.

"We are safe now." Wu Ling suddenly said.

"Gu Mo and Nangong Yao are dead." I spoke at the same time.

We were both silent again.

"I can't save them." I said with difficulty, "I can't save them."

"Yeah." Wu Ling just responded lightly.

"Have you known this for a long time?" I asked again.

"We have already speculated about Nantian's affairs. So I am not surprised by Nangong's words." Wu Ling said frankly, "And Mushroom... I think I have some premonitions."

"Why?" I asked confusedly.

Wu Ling seemed unable to understand my question, "Lynch, most people in this world only live to reproduce the human species."

"Why?" This is not the answer I want.

"Only when species reproduce and new generations continue to emerge can there be new hope. Before new hope comes, all we are doing is maintaining the current situation." Wu Ling continued.

"I'm asking you why! What do you want to do!" I raised my hand and pulled off the ventilator, grabbed the phone, and sat up from the hospital bed.

I was gasping for air and could hear the nurse's footsteps.

Chen Xiaoqiu stopped the nurse who was about to step forward.

My heart beat faster and faster, and my eardrums fluttered, making it impossible for me to hear other sounds.

Wu Ling's calm voice came clearly into my mind.

"Ye Qing saw that hope a long time ago. This is the end of what we can do. In the end, you will save the world. Ye Qing firmly believes in this, and so do we."

"What a joke! I can't even save you! Gu Mo and Nangong Yao are both dead! They all died in front of me! I can't save them! I have tried all kinds of methods! My ability no longer works! You also know that they have been targeting you and me for a long time!" I roared in a hoarse voice, "No matter what your original plan is, you should stop! We...we..."

I suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

I thought about the deaths of Gu Mo and Nangong Yao again.

"If you have given up... I don't want to hold on anymore..." I whispered.

I hope Wu Ling can give me an answer.

I even thought awkwardly that they owed me this.

It's unreasonable to think so, it's arbitrary, willful, and selfish.

I am not a child, and the people in Aoba are not my parents.

But there was a voice in my heart crying again.

They made everything possible.

I will come into contact with these, and I will be on the path I am on now. It was they who helped me.

Ye Qing saved me, saved me when I was a child, but he also carefully designed to put me in this situation.

If they all give up, who am I?

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I just let this ridiculous idea become stubborn.

But my subconscious mind has already thought about it.

I'm scared.

I'm afraid that the past has changed, and the people of Aoba who once stood by me have changed. They may have given up long ago before I knew it.

More likely……

The power that once pushed me, the confidence that once gave me, the big plan that Ye Qing described, the plan that Liu Miao, Wu Ling, Nangong Yao, and Gu Mo firmly believed in, have become "non-existent from beginning to end."

Han Yun has defected to the "enemy".

What about Ye Qing, who also became the Ghost King?

Am I the only one left in the world, still holding on ridiculously?

Am I the only one in the world who still remembers this?

"Lin Qi..." Wu Ling sighed quietly, and she changed the topic, "We are at the hotel. You should have a good rest tonight."

"beep--"

I heard a busy signal on the other end of the phone.

what is this?

I looked at the phone screen that said the call was ended, and suddenly felt cold.

"Lin Qi." Chen Xiaoqiu held my hand.

"They gave up," I muttered. "No, never."

It’s not that I gave up, it’s that I never did.

"I'm going to find Ye Qing." I said a little stubbornly, and as if I was lost in thought, I lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.

I can no longer feel the pain in my body.

I'm going to confirm this.

Am I the only one?

Am I the only one left?

"Mr. Lin, you can't get out of bed yet." The nurse's tone was stern and impatient.

She and Chen Xiaoqiu stopped me, but I couldn't listen to anything they said.

I need to confirm this.

I have never been someone like Ye Qing. He is not the kind of person who can carry out his own will even when all his relatives and friends are dead. What's more, that kind of will was forcefully poured into me by Ye Qing from the beginning.

I need to confirm this.

Ye Qing is still not the same Ye Qing.

If he is no longer...

What's the point of what I'm doing now?

I might as well become a ghost king and protect my family and friends for decades. Maybe we can protect them for a hundred years! What's wrong with that?

My ambition has never been to change the world. That is Ye Qing's ambition. It was the people from Aoba who told me that it would be impossible not to do this.

Their judgment was correct. It’s impossible not to do this.

But when you can't do it, settling for the next best thing may not be the only way to go.

I was thinking about this all over my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like my legs were filled with lead.

I want to find Ye Qing, find Ye Qing...

This idea became stronger and stronger.

"Lynch!"

I heard Chen Xiaoqiu's anxious shouting, but I didn't stop.

I rushed out, almost instantly, across the ward and across the hospital.

As if being pulled by something, I flew in the direction of the office.
