Chapter 81 Silent Forest (5)

An Jing and You Long were both taken aback when they heard her question.

"You said you're agents?"

This seemingly casual question instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

An Jing hadn't reacted yet, and nodded blankly.

Then the woman laughed.

That smile had no sharpness, no oppression, like a snowfield that had been frozen for millennia suddenly breaking through the ice.

Youlong couldn't help but drift off into a daze, opening his mouth but forgetting what to say.

An Jing remained vigilant, his brows furrowed slightly, and nodded: "We are official agents, under the Research Department. This mission was assigned by the department to eliminate the mysterious magnetic field."

The woman's smile deepened after hearing this.

"You're right, I did disturb your work, so I should compensate you in some way."

An Jing's eyes lit up immediately, but she quickly pretended to be calm and coughed lightly, slightly concealing her expression.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Youlong glared at An Jing, seemingly still worried that she would cause trouble.

But the woman saw An Jing's momentary joy, her expression softened, and she nodded, "It's true."

"The scales of your world are tilted far too far."

As she spoke, she looked around, her gaze seemingly able to pierce through the void and see the structure of the entire world: "The mysteries are too powerful, while you humans are very weak."

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable calmness and compassion.

An Jing was stunned for a moment.

The next second, she was tapped on the forehead by the other person's long, slender, fair finger.

"You may possess a powerful weapon that can balance both sides, but ultimately, you are still just yourself. Your growth will take time, but during this time, many people will pay the price with their lives."

That's why she mistook someone for someone else.

That finger strike was not offensive; she had already seen through all of An Jing's secrets.

Including the Primordial Source within her body, which only she and the system knew about.

An Jing felt a jolt in her heart.

Did she know of the existence of the Primordial Origin?
That's normal, considering they're all that strong.

An Jing has confirmed that this powerful figure definitely does not belong to this world.

The woman continued, "I didn't intend to interfere. Every world has its own rules and energy conservation, but since you reminded me that I owe you one, I might as well help you."

She paused, a rare hint of tenderness appearing at the corner of her lips: "How about I help you straighten this tilted scale?"

In an instant, the entire space fell into dead silence.

Youlong's mouth gaped open, almost doubting that he had misheard.

Is it really possible?
An Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a lightning bolt had pierced through her thoughts.

She had thought about this issue before.

The mysterious creatures are incredibly powerful, not only because they come in many varieties and have diverse abilities, but also because some possess terrifying attributes that can disregard the laws of physics.

Even among agents, those with combat skills are few and far between when it comes to facing high-level mystical beings.

The Lamp Bearers are almost the strongest group, but even a top expert like Luo Chuan cannot contend with the mysterious Soul Controller.

Humanity's limits are insufficient to combat the mysterious medium level of mystery.

This is not fair.

It also makes people feel extremely desperate.

An Jing had known this all along.

She has a system, cards, and the protection of others, so she has the opportunity to become stronger.

But she does not represent all of humanity in this world.

If this powerful woman can truly do what she said...
How many front-end developers will survive?
How many agents no longer have to gamble with death every day?

An Jing's voice was almost urgent, and she could barely control her pace as she spoke: "Are you telling the truth? If you can really help us balance this situation, I... I will absolutely not pursue anything further! I will support whatever you are willing to do!"

The woman looked at her and suddenly smiled even more gently.

She reached out and slowly, gently, stroked An Jing's hair, her fingertips softly sliding down a strand of her hair.

"Just like me back then."

An Jing blinked, as if she didn't understand.

“I never lie.” She looked directly into An Jing’s eyes, her voice both cold and warm, like a beam of warm light emerging from frost and snow.

“I always keep my promises. I will help you humans to put this long-tilted scale back on track.”

After saying that, she slowly withdrew her hand.

An Jing pressed on urgently, "So what do you plan to do?"

The woman shook her head, her tone suddenly becoming mysterious: "It's too early to say now."

"But you'll find out when the time comes."

"The whole world will know."

The moment those words were spoken, the trembling space suddenly froze, and all fell silent.

The cave walls rippled like water, the earth veins beneath our feet returned to their steady state, the red veins gradually contracted, and finally sealed off into a complete rock surface, as if nothing had ever existed.

The woman turned her back to them and stepped into the gradually closing spatial rift.

"Wait a minute!" An Jing called out.

"who are you?"

May I know your name?

The woman didn't turn around, but in her final moments before disappearing, she softly uttered:
"If you must call me by my name, then call me Sincerity."

Thank you for reminding me.

I'm still an agent.

Chi Chen didn't say the last sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, the space was completely sealed off.

The golden light dissipated, and darkness returned to the world, leaving only the empty cave and the sound of two human heartbeats.

After a long while, Youlong finally moved his throat, his voice hoarse: "I...we're alright?"

An Jing nodded, his eyes shining as he stared intently at the vanished spatial rift ahead.

"And we may have changed the world."

[Oh my god, An Jing, I thought you were finished, sob sob sob, I thought I was finished too, I've been crying the whole time.]

An Jing: "Shut up. You're crying because you didn't waste your time, did you? You almost became an unwanted system again."

[I don't care!! I just want to scream!! It was so exciting, but I hope this never happens again.]

An Jing rolled her eyes, but a barely suppressed smile crept onto her lips.

Perhaps the world will truly be a little different because of her.

She was looking forward to it.

When Chi Chen left, he even opened a passage for the two of them.

An Jing and You Long followed the path for a long time before finally returning to the ground.

Youlong was panting heavily from exhaustion. He not only had to climb himself, but also had to drag Anjing along the way.

There was no other way; the tunnel was extremely steep, and he was afraid that An Jing would fall to her death if he didn't hold on to her.

An Jing was also exhausted, but she still tapped You Long's arm.

"what?"

"Call your other three teammates, Captain. They're probably worried sick right now."

Youlong slapped his forehead.

Yes.

Almost forgot.

It's all because An Jing's experience this time was too fantastical.

Youlong was still immersed in the moment and hadn't recovered.

When I called back, someone else answered.

Xin's first words were: "Could it be a mysterious outfit?"

Youlong replied somewhat irritably, "Do you really want something to happen to me?"

Xin continued calmly and cheekily, "This kind of tone is definitely the captain's."

　Surprised? Unexpected?
