Chapter 142: Clue of Ye Xi (2/2)

Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback, “Why do you ask that?”

“Because… this seems to be the first time you’ve pointed your gun at a former comrade, right?”

Seeing the lingering concern on Liu Su’s face, Shen Cheng smiled and said, “Since the time I started preparing for the gun assessment, I had already mentally prepared for this, and also…”

As he spoke, Shen Cheng paused, his smile gradually fading. “I’m helping Qu Zhen… aren’t I?”

“Yes.” Looking at Shen Cheng, Liu Su nodded and smiled, “You fulfilled his final request.”

“Yeah…” After Shen Cheng sighed softly, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Watching Shen Cheng walk into the kitchen, Liu Su smiled and shook his head, standing up to help clean the table.

It seemed his worries were unnecessary. Shen Cheng was no longer the person he used to be. Now, his heart was much stronger than most people’s.

After clearing the table with Liu Su, Shen Cheng and Liu Su exchanged goodnights and went to their respective rooms to sleep.

Back in his room, Shen Cheng took out the dark purple feather that Qu Zhen had given him from his pocket. As he thought about the feather under his pillow, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Were these two feathers… different somehow?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng placed this feather under his pillow as well. He changed his clothes and went to bed.

…

Once again, it was a world of darkness constructed by faint spiritual energy.

Unlike before, Shen Cheng found that he couldn’t make any movements in this world, except for using his spiritual energy to shatter it.

Instead of doing so, Shen Cheng quietly stared into the darkness ahead, as if he were a silent observer.

Occasionally, the dark world would distort, and soon it was coated in a layer of gray, then turned into a world of color.

The tangled roots of trees, dense green leaves, and a stone wall covered in green vines stood there, leaving Shen Cheng somewhat puzzled.

He could even vaguely hear the sound of a distant ship’s engine.

In the next instant, the scene flashed, and he found himself in a cave. A woman wearing a dark purple coat stood in the middle, looking at him indifferently.

Ye Xi!

Just as Shen Cheng was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and swallowed his words.

This… didn’t seem like a dream that Ye Xi had actively pulled him into, but rather… a simple recording, nothing more.

The cave where Ye Xi was standing was clearly inside that vine-covered stone wall!

The reason why this recording of Ye Xi’s location was hidden inside this feather was because Ye Xi wanted Qu Zhen to find her and retreat from the world…

The recording ended, but this time, the illusion did not shatter as it usually did. Instead, it returned to dark silence.

As his consciousness grew blurry, Shen Cheng understood that this was not Ye Xi’s illusion but a real dream.

With this thought, Shen Cheng relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
