Chapter 27 His lifeline, only one feather.

"It hurts! Help! Help me!"

Banizar trembled in pain, feeling as if his flesh and bones were being devoured, but unfortunately, he couldn't die in the virtual world. He was fully conscious, which was the most painful part.

Jiang Nuo stood to the side, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. She looked around, observing the black aura...

Dark element?

Could it be him...?

In just a few seconds, Banizale couldn't take it anymore. As he rolled around in pain, he suddenly noticed the smart bracelet on his wrist and realized that he was in a virtual world.

All perceptions are false!
As long as he withdraws his consciousness now and returns to reality, all the pain will disappear.

Thinking of this, he endured immense pain as he reached out and pressed his wristband, preparing to withdraw his consciousness from the virtual world.

"Consciousness Lockdown!"

Just when Bani Zhal thought he was about to be freed, a cold, desolate voice resounded in the silent hall, as if the words were law, and the hall's intelligent system instantly activated.

His consciousness, which was about to withdraw, was also bound to the virtual world, making it difficult to break free.

"Ah!! Spare me! Spare me—"

"Let me go, let me go—!"

"I can not stand it any more!!"

This time, Banizale was scared and became obedient. It was a fear that rose from the bottom of his heart. He just wanted to escape. He didn't want anything anymore. What little female, what star element? He just wanted to leave this place!

The onlookers looked around, wondering if some important person had arrived.

With just a simple command, one can activate the intelligent system of the virtual star kingdom. What kind of privileges do they need?

Even the head steward of a branch office probably couldn't do that.

"Oh my god, it can't be..."

The only one who realized the seriousness of the problem was the manager. As a four-star level official, he was obviously very familiar with the use of authority within the internal hierarchy. He quickly whispered to his female assistant and the other staff members, "What are you all standing there for? Move aside and line up."

What kind of nonsense is this?

"oh oh."

The staff members hurriedly lined up, then bowed respectfully like the manager, even though they didn't know which direction to face.

While everyone else was puzzled, only Jiang Nuo looked diagonally forward with a firm gaze, as if her eyes had already passed over the crowd.

It was like I had a premonition...

The person she wanted to see was right there.

"This fool, since he's here, why doesn't he come out?" the girl muttered to herself. Was he hiding in the shadows protecting her, yet unwilling to appear before her?
And not far away.

That is, the direction the girl was looking in.

Behind the stone pillar, a young man in a silver suit stood with slightly disheveled hair, which only made him appear more noble and charming. On his slender fingers, a black feather ring swirled subtly, indicating that it had just been used. The young man's expression conveyed joy and anticipation, but also contained a hint of conflicting worry and evasion.

"come out."

The girl's soft voice rang out.

"If you don't want to see me, what's the point of coming?"

"If you don't come out, I'm leaving."

Jiang Nuo seemed to be talking to herself, but if you listened carefully, there was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, as if she were flirting with her male partner.

"I'll count to three, two, one."

"If you don't come out, I'm really leaving."

"three!"

"Two!" "One!"

"..."

The girl counted down crisply and cleanly. When she saw that there was still no movement after the number was finished, she frowned and deliberately said, "Theo! I never want to see you again!"

After saying that, she pressed the bracelet.

Just as her finger was about to touch the screen, a gust of air came from the same direction.

But this time it wasn't dark; instead, it was a soft, clean feather enveloped by air currents.

The feathers are silvery-white, shimmering with a mysterious and noble luster. At the very bottom, there are some dazzling patterns that flow like a galaxy. They are extremely soft to the touch, feeling soft and fluffy.

"so beautiful."

Girls all love beautiful things, and Jiang Nuo is no exception. Seeing the feather drifting towards her, she paused, her hand that was about to tap the screen, and caught the beautiful feather that captivated her heart.

She gently stroked it, reluctant to let go.

At the same time, she looked in the direction from which the feathers had come, and sure enough, there was a silver-clad figure of a young man emerging from behind a stone pillar and walking towards her.

"Theo..."

The familiar scent, the familiar him.

Although there were many people in the hall, and even a person wailing on the ground nearby, at this moment, it seemed that the two of them only had eyes for each other.

The manager next to him secretly glanced up, then hunched over in fright. Good heavens, what had he seen? In all his years in office, this was the first time he had ever seen the CEO in person!

Normally, the CEO is only at headquarters, so why would he come to this small branch?

We really owe it all to this lady.

"Closed for business today. No customers please."

As the young man passed the manager, he whispered a message. The manager, startled, immediately understood and addressed the onlookers, "Ladies and gentlemen, our third branch is temporarily closed for virtual system maintenance today. We will resume operations tomorrow! We apologize!"

In this situation, the crowd immediately understood that this important person clearly did not want people to watch, and they couldn't possibly be so oblivious.

With Bani Zhal as an example, no one dared to refute it. Their consciousnesses withdrew from the virtual world, and soon the hall became empty. Apart from the staff, all the outsiders left.

"Spare me, spare me, Your Excellency, spare me—"

Banizal, still howling on the ground, was in a pitiful state. When he saw the boy pass by him, he struggled to crawl a few steps, trying to reach the boy's legs.

"what--!"

With a casual kick, showing no mercy, Theo sent Banizale tumbling several times before walking straight toward the girl, seemingly oblivious to her presence.

Jiang Nuo stood still, looking up at him, still holding the silver feather that had just drifted over.

"Like it?"

His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze in April, completely different from his ruthless self just now.

Even the manager not far away was embarrassed. Both were trying to prevent consciousness from leaving, but the male in front was subjected to direct consciousness blockade and torture, while this beautiful lady was offered a pretty feather to attract her attention. The executive officer was being incredibly hypocritical!
"Ah."

Jiang Nuo gently stroked the feathers, feeling their soft, warm texture. She loved them so much; she always felt that the feathers carried Theo's essence.

The teenager laughed.

Just because the girl said she liked him.

That was his lifeline, his only one.

The place closest to his heartbeat represents all his love and loyalty.

"Nuonuo, I miss you."

He pulled her into his arms, no longer holding back, and kissed the girl's cheek directly. The cool touch contained a burning passion: "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not protecting you, for not going to the temple to save you immediately? Nuonuo, you're angry with me, aren't you?"
