Chapter 110 Wan'er, Our Love Has Been Born
Chapter 110 Wan'er, Our Love Has Been Born
Lin Feng was awakened by his shout. He opened his eyes and saw Sato's astonished expression. He calmly sat up and explained:
"Oh, we've already defeated the 'Lord of Laughter' and achieved an S-rank clear."
"The ghost story announcement said I could stay for another 24 hours. I still had some things to take care of, so I came back to get some sleep."
"Wahim, Evelyn, and Anna left last night."
"Solved...solved?! Lord of Laughter?! S...S-rank clear?!"
Sato Ichiro was struck dumb, his mouth agape so wide it could fit his fist.
An indescribable regret gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake!
S-rank clear! That's an S-rank clear!
Generous national rewards, powerful personal enhancements...
If... if he hadn't listened to the strategy team's advice, if he had chosen to trust Lin Feng and act with them...
So now, he is one of those who enjoy all this glory and reward!
The immense psychological gap and intense regret made Sato Ichiro tremble all over; he was filled with remorse!
He slumped onto the bed, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself repeatedly:
"Kono Baka's conquest team...me... (This bunch of idiot conquest team...damn it...)"
........................
Studio:
"Haha, that's hilarious! Who was bragging yesterday about how their strategy team had flawless plans and could just coast to victory?"
"This is the price of excessive caution! In the world of ghost stories, sometimes courage is more important than cunning!"
"Choice is more important than effort! Sato chose to believe in the so-called strategy team, while Wasim chose to believe in Brother Lin Feng!"
"You can't blame the strategy team entirely! Who knew Lin Feng and his group would be so freakish, going straight for the final boss?"
"Let's pray that Sato-kun can at least get a normal clear... This time it's a complete disaster!"
........................
Seeing Sato Ichiro's distraught and remorseful state, Lin Feng felt little pleasure, but rather a faint sense of melancholy.
In the world of ghost stories, a single step can make all the difference.
Just then, Sato Ichiro suddenly remembered something, abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with a mixture of hope and uncertainty:
"Lin Jun! Now that... now that you've killed the 'Lord of Laughter,' the source of this instance's contamination should be gone, right?"
"Does this mean... this instance is now safe? And the rules... are the rules no longer valid?"
He desperately needed some good news to comfort himself. If the instance was truly safe, then he could at least survive the remaining five days in peace.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's sharp gaze fell on Sato Ichiro's face.
He noticed the two deeper nasolabial folds on Sato's face, and the "smile" at the corner of his mouth that had a strange stiffness to it.
Lin Feng slowly shook his head, shattering Sato's illusion:
"Probably not. The Lord of Laughter is more like a high-dimensional being that has left 'anchor points' in countless parallel planes."
"What we destroyed was merely the 'anchor point' of our dimension."
He paused, then pointed meaningfully to the corner of Sato's mouth. "The smile on your face is the best proof. It looks... not entirely genuine."
Sato Ichiro froze, instinctively raising his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, and sure enough, he touched that stiff, upward curve.
A chill ran up my spine and straight to the top of my head!
His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty as he swallowed.
Today is only the fifth day, and there's still halfway through the ten-day deadline!
If the rules and pollution haven't completely disappeared, it will still be extremely difficult for him to survive here alone until the end!
Previously, Lin Feng and Wasim drew the main firepower, but now...
Seeing Sato's face turn deathly pale and the fear in his eyes, Lin Feng softened his tone:
"Relax. As long as you act cautiously as before, based on your previous experience, there's still a good chance you can get through the remaining days safely."
This was the most practical comfort he could offer given the current situation.
Sato Ichiro took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and nodded stiffly:
"I...I understand. Thank you...thank you, Lin Jun."
Lin Feng said no more, got up from the bed, picked up his toiletries and headed to the bathroom.
The icy water splashed on his face, completely dispelling the last trace of sleepiness in him.
After washing up and returning to his dorm, Lin Feng took out his phone, intending to text Su Wan to invite her to breakfast and then discuss his departure.
Just then, a familiar and anxious figure appeared at the dormitory entrance, slightly out of breath, as if he had run all the way there.
It's Su Wan!
She was wearing an elegant dress today, her face showing undisguised surprise and worry, and her gaze immediately locked onto Lin Feng.
When she saw Lin Feng standing there unharmed, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock in her eyes did not diminish at all.
"Lin Feng! You...you really killed Huan...killed it?!"
Lin Feng smiled gently. "Yes, it's resolved. Thanks to the orange cat's help."
Su Wan strode forward, ignoring the distraught Sato Ichiro still in the dormitory, and hugged Lin Feng tightly, burying her face in his chest, her voice trembling with lingering fear:
"Are you crazy?! That's the 'Lord of Laughter'! One wrong move and...you won't be coming back!"
Her hug was tight, as if she was afraid that Lin Feng would disappear if she let go.
Lin Feng gently hugged her back, stroking her back, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Su Wan nestled against him for a while before slowly raising her head. Her beautiful eyes held a complex mix of emotions: joy, relaxation, and a hint of sadness at their impending separation.
"So... you're leaving the Elite School?"
Those who have successfully navigated the level have no reason to remain in this place.
Lin Feng looked into her eyes, nodded seriously, then took her hand, his tone firm yet gentle:
"Yes, the reason I stayed is to take you with me!"
"I told you, the Tranquil Quadrant, I have a big house there."
A hint of longing flashed in Su Wan's eyes, but she was immediately troubled by the practicalities of life, and she shook her head:
"But...my identity...I'm a monster, you're human, we..."
Lin Feng had anticipated her concerns. He smiled slightly, reached out his other hand, and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, gazing at her with deep eyes.
"Wan'er, haven't you realized that the bond between us is far deeper than you think?"
"Our love has blossomed into a child!"
