Arknights is too real, right?

What Xia Feng knocked on at this moment was the door of Ming He's house.

In response, the door, which had not been opened for a year since he left Hyakki Street, finally revealed a gap.

Through the crack in the door, you can see half of the face of the blue-haired girl. Although the sisters have the same appearance, you can tell from the short hair that this is the younger sister Ming Shuang.

Cold eyes stared at Xia Feng outside through the crack in the door.

"What are you doing here?"

This simple and unpretentious question really stopped Xia Feng. What was he doing here?

To be fair, if Styx hadn't helped him seal the growth of black power in his body, he would probably be several times more powerful than Director Liang now.

Now, Styx's seal has been broken by himself, and the lost white power has returned. After returning to Baigui Street after a year, he thinks it is necessary to visit Styx.

No matter what the godly guy Styx is thinking, there is no doubt that he is his savior.

Standing at the door, Xia Feng lifted up the sandworm in his hand.

"Ming Shuang, long time no see, let me have a look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

"Wait."

Without a trace of humane response, Ming Shuang closed the door with a bang.

With his current status, even if he enters and leaves Victoria's palace, including the Yan Kingdom's palace, he cannot be treated with such indifference. It can be said that he is not given any face.

However, standing at the door of this house alone in the world, he had no temper at all.

Ming Shuang asked him to wait, so he could only wait like a pillar at the door.

5 minutes later.

The door opened a slightly larger gap again, and just like before, a cold air immediately spread through the dark room.

Ming Shuang said coldly.

"Come in."

"oh."

Xia Feng was a little nervous, and quietly got in like a secret agent.

Then, the door slammed shut tightly.

Walking into the first floor of the house, the interior environment is exactly the same as before.

The temperature is low and the light is dim. It is obviously facing the sun like the entire house on Baigui Street, but the interior feels like a basement.

However, although the house is cold, it is not damp.

Standing at the door, Xia Feng put down the bag containing sandworms in his hand.

"This is a gift for you"

There was no response, Ming Shuang just walked forward on his own.

Feeling embarrassed, Xia Feng could only follow her to the stairs leading to the second floor.

When passing by the living room on the first floor, he suddenly saw an acquaintance sitting on an old-fashioned rocking chair in the corner, apparently reading a book.

Purple hair, bloodless arms, and a gothic dress. In her arms, the pony-shaped stuffed toy rested quietly on the owner's flat chest.

"Xina!"

Hearing his call, Xina still didn't take her eyes away from the book, and just replied calmly.

"What are you doing here?"

Xia Feng didn't know how to answer, so he could only raise his finger and point in the direction of upstairs.

"I haven't been back to Victoria for a long time. I came to take a look."

"If there's nothing important, I don't think it's necessary."

"this"

Xina's eyes remained fixed on the book in her hand.

"What you call a long time actually doesn't last long at all. It's even so short that it feels like you just walked out of this room."

Thinking about it carefully, he actually fully understood what Xina meant.

Putting aside the Styx, Xina's existence alone can be traced back to who knows how many years ago, and he just left Victoria for a year.

It was indeed strange for Sheena and Styx to have someone who had just walked out of the house turn back.

"kindness"

But he had no choice but to come here. Even if he just wanted to say hello to his savior, he still wanted to go up and have a look.

"Xina, I'll go up first."

There was no response, Xina still looked at the book in her hand.

Xia Feng let out a sigh of relief and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

There are no rules in Styx's home, or in other words, there are no rules in the eyes of ordinary people. Whether it is Ming Shuang Mingxue or Xina, they can enter and exit any room at will.

When he arrived on the second floor, his sister Mingxue finally greeted him like a "normal person".

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing this "Long time no see", Xia Feng was so moved that he almost cried. He finally regained a little bit of the feeling of a guest.

"Ming Xue, long time no see. I brought you a gift and left it at the door of the first floor."

"Oh? What is it?"

"It's a sandworm."

Upon hearing Sandworm, Ming Xue had a slightly strange expression, but she didn't say much.

Raising her arms as a guide, she said softly.

"The adults are in the innermost room, you can just go in."

"good."

Nodding, Xia Feng walked toward the room inside alone.

There was an inexplicable chill in the whole house, but strangely, he didn't feel cold.

And, being here, he always has a very special feeling.

The windows of the entire house were blocked by thick curtains, making it seem like a completely enclosed space. In such an environment, he would even have an illusion.

It's like this house has no concept of time and space.

Staying here, he is Xia Feng at this moment, but outside the house, it can be any corner of the world, or even any time point.

Putting aside the illusion in his brain, Xia Feng stabilized his inexplicable emotions and pushed open the room at the end of the second floor.

The room was still as plain and simple, with Styx himself sitting quietly on the wooden chair.

He was still wearing a white T-shirt, and his body under the shirt was as skinny as a stick. Under his blue hair, his eyes were as deep as the stars in the universe.

"Xia Feng, is something wrong?"

As the saying goes, it doesn't mean that every family has the same way of speaking.

Xia Feng glanced at the empty chair next to him, but had no intention of sitting down.

"Oh, nothing happened. I just want to come over and say hello when I go back to Victoria this time."

After saying this, he suddenly noticed a detail.

At this moment, Styx was gently playing with a silver coin in his hand.

Although it was slightly farther away, he could roughly identify that this was not Victoria's currency.

At the same time, it is not the currency of Colombia, Longmen, or even any country he currently knows.

This coin was slightly larger than a normal coin, and the pattern in the middle was like an ancient writing. Through the gentle rotation of the Styx, he discovered that the patterns on both sides of the coin were different.

Just when his attention was attracted by the coin, Styx's cold and emotionless voice came.

"Now that the greetings are over, you can leave."

Xia Feng came to his senses.

"Ah, are you going to drive me away now?"

Styx held the coin in his palm and gently closed his eyes.

"You will come anyway. Next time, it won't be as simple as saying hello."

It was something he couldn't understand again, so Xia Feng didn't ask any more about it because he knew it would be in vain if he asked.

Although he was ordered to be expelled, before leaving, he gently put his palm on his chest and confessed.

"The black power that was previously sealed by you has been broken, and so has my white power."

Styx interrupted his "report".

"You don't need to explain this to me. As long as you are alive, it's enough. Let's go. I don't want to say too much."

He was kicked out of the room indifferently, and his hot face was pressed against his cold butt.

When Xia Feng walked down the stairs calmly, Ming Shuang was already standing at the door of the room, ready to wait for him to go out and close the door tightly.

Before going out, he glanced at Xina who was still reading in the living room.

"Xina, I'm leaving."

Xina's expression remained unchanged, like a doll, but finally, she spoke.

"How is Aye? Is he still alive?"

Faced with this question, Xia Feng smiled and replied truthfully.

"Master Xiao is very good. He lives in Yandong now, which is the south coast of Dongguo. My home is there, and there is a cherry blossom forest there."

When she heard about the cherry blossom forest in the Eastern Kingdom, Xina's long eyelashes trembled slightly unnoticeably.

Looking away from the book, Xina closed the book in her hand.

"Xia Feng."

"kindness?"

"This book is for you."

Xia Feng walked up to Xina and took the book she had been reading.

He remembered this book. Although the title of the book was in a special kind of language, Sister Mira once told him that the translated title of the book meant "Earth and Wind".

"Xina, this book."

"Although it is different from modern text, I have annotated part of the book. Perhaps a certain paragraph in the book can help you in some special situation."

Xia Feng felt very relieved to get what Xina gave him.

"Okay, thank you."

Xina leaned on the rocking chair and closed her eyes as well.

"When you leave, remember to take the things you just brought in with you."

Knowing that Xina was referring to sandworms, Xia Feng said immediately.

"Ha, it's not something valuable, just accept it."

However, Xina’s following words did not give any face at all.

"We don't need any extra stuff in this house and it'll bother us if you don't take it out."

"Ah this."

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Feng noticed a detail.

There seemed to be no kitchen at all in this two-story house where four people lived.
