Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 228

"Jingchen, what's with the wings on your back? Are you also an artificial angel?" Shouxing asked.

Jing Chen looked at everyone and said, "Artificial angel? No, I was originally an angel."

When Nymph heard Jing Chen's answer, all her questions were finally answered. Why did Jing Chen know about Synapse? Why did Jing Chen know about her and Icarus? Why was he so clear about her purpose in coming down here? It turned out that Jing Chen himself was a high-ranking member of Synapse!

Jing Chen said, "Can you keep this a secret? If too many people know my secret, I might not be able to stay here anymore."

Everyone nodded. Jing Chen had already told them all this, which meant he had taken a huge risk.

"Jingchen, how much do you know about that black hole hovering over Kongmei Town?" Shouxing asked, adjusting his glasses.

"That one." Jing Chen looked up at the sky, Shou Xing crossed his arms and waited for Jing Chen's answer.

Jing Chen thought for a moment, looked at Nymph's expression beside him, sighed and said, "I don't know what that is either. I'm also investigating that thing. The hole where Icarus appeared has always given me a bad feeling, which means that I don't have any clue about that thing right now."

Shouxing said, "I see. Then there's nothing we can do."

"Um, I'm sorry, Chu Yuan. The thought that if Icarus got into trouble, we wouldn't be able to play anymore, so... I unconsciously focused on her. I'm really sorry."

Despite Zhishu's lengthy explanation, Chu Yuan remained silent. Zhishu scratched his head and gazed at the sea. Jing Chen smiled helplessly, patted Zhishu's shoulder, and stood aside, quietly watching the scene unfold.

"But never paddle that far away by yourself again, because you've never been able to swim since you were little," Tomoki added at the end.

This sentence was absolutely brilliant. Jing Chen couldn't help but give Zhi Shu a thumbs up. This sentence was truly the finishing touch.

Chu Yuan was stunned, tears welling up in his eyes. Xiao Zhi, you still remember...?

To avoid upsetting Chu Yuan further, Zhi Shu changed the subject, saying, "Okay, let's change our mood and keep playing." As soon as Zhi Shu finished speaking, he noticed that it was already dark.

"It's almost dark... I'm so sorry, Chu Yuan." Zhi Shu said, looking at Chu Yuan.

"No, that's enough. Thank you, Satoshi." Chu Yuan said to Satoshi with one hand on his chest.

Jing Chen smiled, turned around and left.

"Hey, you bug over there, what are you pretending to be cool for? Wasn't saving that child all thanks to Jing Chen?"

Jing Chen hadn't even left yet when Nymph's words suddenly made him stumble and almost fall.

Jing Chen turned around, looking at the self-righteous Nymph, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I may not have been nice to you, but you didn't have to go and make me hate you like this, did you?"

"Well... of course," Tomoki said, pausing for a moment.

"You haven't thanked Jing Chen yet," Nymph said haughtily.

Jing Chen sighed, "I don't know if you're helping me or hurting me. It just feels... kind of strange."

"Ah... I'm sorry, thank you so much, Jingchen, you were a great help," Zhishu said.

Jing Chen waved his hand without saying anything. He put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was watching a show.

"It's time to tidy up," Shouxing said.

"Yes, let's do it that way," Mikako said.

"By the way, Icarus, let's do the previous exercises again," Tomoki said.

Jing Chen smiled, turned around and followed Shou Xing and the others to pack their things, preparing to go home.

Jing Chen had just turned around and walked a short distance when he suddenly heard a loud splash. Turning back, he saw Chu Yuan crying and begging to stay. Jing Chen overheard the gist of their conversation.

It turned out that Chu Yuan felt Zhi Shu was only focused on Icarus, and that he was being too biased. No one knew what they were talking about, but Jing Chen saw Zhi Shu being relentlessly attacked by Chu Yuan's deadly hand strikes. Centered on Zhi Shu, a waterspout formed on that stretch of sea.

This scene sent chills down Jing Chen's spine. Fortunately, Xiao Wu and the others didn't know the Death Cleaver, and their strength wasn't as high as Jing Chen's, so he wasn't afraid that Xiao Wu and the others would treat Jing Chen like that.

At this moment, Shouxing was eating a roasted corn cob while standing by the sea, holding a ticket in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an accommodation voucher.

Jing Chen was truly shocked. What the hell was this? Was this a pillow provided just when he was about to fall asleep?

So the group arrived at the hotel with the accommodation voucher, planning to stay there for the night and continue their fun tomorrow.

It was late, and everyone had gone to sleep. Jing Chen suddenly woke up for some reason. Looking at Jing Chen sleeping beside her, she suddenly realized something, and her Illusionary Eyes activated, directly entering Zhi Shu's dream.

"How is it, angel?"

As soon as Jing Chen entered Zhi Shu's dream, he heard an extremely ethereal voice. Jing Chen frowned slightly, looked up, and saw an angel floating in the sky.

"Hmm, another one. Although he doesn't seem like a bad person, if too many come..." Tomoki said, rubbing his forehead and sitting up.

Suddenly, the angel's wings unfurled, and it floated into the sky. Tomoki was stunned. The angel seemed to say something, but Tomoki couldn't hear it clearly.

Jing Chen narrowed his eyes, spread his wings, and flew up after him. Zhi Shu was no longer there; it seemed he was almost awake.

Jing Chen flew up, and the angel noticed him, so her ascent stopped. Jing Chen flew into the sky, reaching the same height as the angel.

"Who are you?" the angel asked.

Jing Chen said, "You must be Daedalus. I have something I want to tell you."

"Who are you? Why are you able to enter the dream I created? And how do you know my name?" Daedalus asked cautiously.

Jing Chen said, "You don't need to know these things. I came to you to ask you about Icarus."

"Icarus!? Oh, I remember now, you are Icarus's master, aren't you?" Daedalus said.

Jing Chen nodded. "That's right, I am Icarus's current master. Now, it's my turn to ask a question: what exactly is your intention in abandoning Icarus?"

"I just wanted Tomoki to save her, that's all," Daedalus said.

Jing Chen chuckled. "When you created Icarus, you gave her unprecedented combat power and the strongest hacking ability in history, but you didn't give her a heart. And now you're telling me you want Zhishu to redeem her?"

Daedalus remained silent, but Jing Chen said, "If you can't give Icarus a heart, I will! Why did Nymph come down? Was it because of the Lord of the Sky's orders?"

Daedalus looked at Jing Chen in surprise, but Jing Chen quickly regained his composure, resumed his previous expression, and said, "I can't tell you."

Jing Chen said, "I know even if you don't tell me, it's because of the Lord of the Sky, right?"

Daedalus remained silent, while Jing Chen said, "I told you before, I won't spare Synapse! However, for Icarus's sake, I can spare your life."

"Since you intend to help me redeem Icarus, please also save Nymph and Astraea, okay? I beg you," Daedalus said.

"You want me to save them just because you tell me to? How embarrassing would that be?" Jing Chen asked.

"I can give you information, as long as you help me," Daedalus said.

Jing Chen snapped his fingers. "The deal is done. I hope I can find you when I want to, otherwise the deal is void."

"Okay," Daedalus replied.

Jing Chen waved his hand and disappeared from the spot. Daedalus stared at the spot where Jing Chen had just been, lost in thought, before slowly floating into the sky.
