Zongman: The post-2D era

The two slowly walked towards the three-story building next to the school. Although the building looked a bit old, its structure was solid, giving people a sense of security.

They walked up the stairs, taking each step carefully, as if they were afraid to disturb this quiet and mysterious space. When they reached the second floor, they saw a spacious room with closed windows and curtains fluttering gently in the wind.

Daito Ai gently pushed open the door, and with the creaking sound of the door, the scene inside the room gradually appeared before their eyes.

The room was dark and mysterious. The bookshelf in the corner was filled with dusty books, emitting a faint scent of ink.

In the center of the room, on an old wooden table lies a strange translucent egg, which emits a faint light, as if it has life.

Oto Ai walked to the table, reached out her hand and gently stroked the strange egg. Her eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia: "The story in this strange egg is a fairy tale from my school days. Whenever I feel lonely and confused, it brings me strength and courage."

Feng Feng stood aside, quietly observing the interaction between Daihu Ai and Qidan. He felt an inexplicable power, as if he was also attracted by this fairy tale.

The two walked to another room on the second floor. The light gradually dimmed, as if they had entered another world.

Dahu Ai nervously grasped Feng Feng's hand, her fingers were cold and trembling slightly. Feng Feng held her hand tightly and gave her firm support.

They came to a closed room, the walls of which were covered with various photos and paintings. Oto Ai pointed to one of the photos and said in a trembling voice: "This is when I was in elementary school and was laughed at and bullied by my classmates because of my heterochromia."

In the photo, Dahu Ai was standing among a group of children, her eyes full of fear and helplessness. Feng Feng's heart suddenly tightened, he could feel the pain and struggle in Dahu Ai's heart.

Oto Ai took a deep breath and closed her eyes, as if recalling the painful past. Suddenly, the light in the room began to change, and pictures appeared before their eyes.

"The curses on the desk, the textbooks in the trash can, the blood in the toilet..."

"You have grown up and found happiness in Utopia. It's okay!"

Feng Feng held Daihu Ai's hand tightly, and her fingers trembled slightly in his palm. His eyes were firm and gentle, as if there was a force supporting her.

"Let's go to the third floor."

They walked up to the third floor slowly, each step seemed particularly heavy. When they arrived in front of a room full of ancient atmosphere, Feng Feng gently opened the door, and an old smell came to his face.

The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The bookshelf in the corner was filled with dusty books, each of which exuded a heavy sense of history.

In the center of the room, on a worn wooden table lay a heavy book with the three characters “Book of Life” engraved on the cover.

Feng Feng walked to the table and gently turned the pages of the book. The words on the pages seemed to come alive, emitting a faint light.

He took a deep breath and slowly read out the words: "In this world of three questions at the end of the world, you are a fox man. You are faced with endless challenges and choices. But you still have firm beliefs and move forward courageously."

"But before you found your answer and realized your dream, Hoshino Aqua destroyed the Three Questions of Doom, and you... became a disaster beast that invaded the Utopian Gang."

Oto Ai slowly walked to the window and gently pushed open the closed window with both hands. A fresh breeze blew over her face, mixed with the breath of spring, and seemed to take away the heaviness and depression in the room. She looked at the school outside the window, her eyes revealing deep nostalgia.

On that familiar playground, she saw herself in her school days. At that time, she was still young and full of energy, fighting side by side with Yatoshin, bickering and fighting, fearless.

Every wave, every dodge, is filled with the passion and enthusiasm of youth. All the laughter, tears and sweat of the past are condensed in the sight of this moment.

A smile appeared on Daito Ai's lips, which was a remembrance of the good old days and a pride in his firm belief in the present.

“No matter what challenges and choices I face in the future, I will move forward courageously, stay firm in my beliefs, and find my own answers, just like I did when I was a student.”

Feng Feng walked to Dahu Ai, holding the ancient and mysterious "Book of Life" in his hand. He gently placed the book on the windowsill, and the pages of the book turned gently in the breeze, as if talking to the world.

He looked at Oto Ai, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "I hope that you, who are already in your twenties and have found happiness in Utopia, can save yourself in the parallel world."

Daihu Ai turned around and looked at the "book of life" on the windowsill, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She understood what Feng Feng meant, and felt the trust and expectation in his words. She took a deep breath, looked at the sky outside the window, and her heart was filled with determination.

"Feng Feng, do you know? You are really a sinful man."

"Girls shouldn't meet someone too outstanding in their lives, otherwise..."

Chapter 645 Oshino Mee

Saturday, April 8

Oto Ai felt a surge of power from deep within her heart, as if she had some kind of wonderful resonance with this strange egg world. She stretched out her hands and tightly grasped the "Book of Life" on the windowsill, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Oho Ai opened the "book of life" full of mysterious power, and she felt the wisdom and power surging between the pages.

She stared at Feng Feng on the page. Her voice was trembling, but full of determination: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. The three-story egg is worth a country."

At that moment, the light in the room seemed to become softer and the wind outside the window became warmer.

Feng Feng gently looked up at the sky and seemed to see Da Hu Ai. His eyes were full of tenderness and trust.

Their gazes intertwined on the page, as if foreshadowing their determination to face the future together.

Ooto Ai hugged the "book of life" tightly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

“This is not just a book, but also the courage you give me. As long as I have this belief and courage, I can overcome all difficulties and find my own answers.”

"The answer to happiness!"

In an abandoned private cram school on Tenth Street, Feng Feng withdrew his gaze from the sky and walked into the classroom where desks and chairs were piled up.

In the classroom, a Hawaiian-style uncle wearing slippers and holding a cigarette frowned and waved.

"Hey, Lord of Utopia, you have an angry face. Did something good happen to you?"

Shinobu Mee Mee said distressedly: "Uncle, I don't have much money, but it's no problem to treat you to a hot pot meal."

Feng Feng smiled gently, walked to a desk, crossed his legs elegantly, and placed his hands on the table.

His eyes swept around the classroom and then fixed on the Hawaiian-style uncle who was smoking a cigarette and wearing slippers.

"One of the four key sources of the Doomsday Egg is with you?" Feng Feng smiled slightly. His voice was low and magnetic, as if it had a magical power that could attract people's attention.

“It’s a world of mystery and possibility, a realm we haven’t yet fully explored.”

"Can you... handle it?"

His words permeated the air, making the entire classroom seem shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

The Hawaiian uncle frowned even more tightly. He took a puff of cigarette and then exhaled slowly, as if thinking about Feng Feng's words.

"I'll take care of it. Give me the egg. I'll pay you with a gold desk."

Feng Feng's words were like a flash of lightning, instantly piercing the silence of the classroom.

The Hawaiian uncle looked at Feng Feng in shock, and the cigarette butt in his hand fell down in a trembling manner, hitting the dusty floor and splashing a spark. His eyes widened and he saw that the old desk where Feng Feng sat had turned into gold.

Feng Feng stretched out his hand, which looked pale and strong under the dim light.

His fingertips trembled gently, as if playing a silent, alchemical movement.

"You have a key egg to the world of the Egg Story here. Give it to me." His voice was low and firm, like an ancient spell echoing in the air.

The uncle came back to his senses, his eyes wandering between Feng Feng's hand and his pocket. He swallowed, a dry sound coming from his throat. "How...how did you know I had this?"

He asked tremblingly, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the strange egg in his pocket, while his other hand held a rune stone shaped like a human head.

Feng Feng smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an unfathomable wisdom. He gently put down his hand, and his fingertips left a faint track in the air, as if a beautiful melody was echoing in the air.

He turned and walked towards the classroom door, his voice low and magnetic: "The matter of the strange egg will have its time. And now, my stomach tells me that it is hungry."

"Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"

Shinobu Mee followed behind him, with a sly smile on her face. She patted Feng Feng's shoulder, her eyes twinkling with mischief, "Young man, you're right. Let's go fill our stomachs first, and then talk about the strange egg!"

The two walked out of the abandoned private cram school, and the afternoon sun shone on them, warm and bright.

They walked through the bustling streets, passed by one food stall after another, and finally came to a quaint restaurant.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated and the air is filled with the tempting aroma of food. Its name is Qidan Delicious House.

Oshino Meme sighed with pity, but he immediately returned to his playful look and waved to the waiter.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and peaceful. The sunlight shines through the half-open windows onto the wooden floor, creating mottled light and shadows.

Sitting near the window, they could clearly see the pedestrians hurrying by on the street, adding a vivid color to this bustling city.

"Waiter, please give me two servings of the spiciest hotpot base, as well as beef, mutton, tofu and various vegetables. Oh, and two bottles of ice beer." Oshino Meme ordered generously, completely unaffected by the tense atmosphere before.

Feng Feng smiled at Shinobu Mee, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that this seemingly unreliable uncle actually had a kind and warm heart. In this world full of mysteries and possibilities, he was not alone.

When the black waitress came to the table with the steaming hot pot, Feng Feng's eyes were immediately attracted to her.

Her skin glowed a deep chocolate color in the sun, which was in stark contrast to her white uniform. Her eyes were large and bright, like the night sky with stars, revealing a mysterious and deep light.

Her movements were light and graceful, as if she was performing a silent dance with every step. She placed the hot pot on the table with a smile, and the steaming smoke lingered in the air, forming a hazy picture.

Feng Feng could smell the familiar aroma of hot pot, which instantly made his taste buds eager to try it.

However, Feng Feng was not in a hurry to taste the food, and his eyes never left the waitress.

He knew that she was not just an ordinary waitress, but one of the four key people in the world of Wonder Egg Story. Her existence seemed to be closely connected with that world full of mysteries and possibilities.

"So that's how it is! Did you choose your own life?"

Feng Feng came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and nodded. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of the cold Coke, feeling the refreshing taste of the liquid on his tongue.

He put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of beef and put it into the hot pot. The meat slice quickly changed color in the boiling soup, giving off an enticing aroma.

Seeing this, Oshino Mee also picked up a piece of mutton and put it into the hot pot, and the two began to enjoy this delicious hot pot feast.

They ate and talked, Shinobu Meeme teased Feng Feng from time to time, and Feng Feng always responded with a smile. Their laughter and conversation echoed in the restaurant, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding noise.

The sunlight outside the window gradually slanted down, enveloping the entire restaurant in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Feng Feng looked up at the waitress from time to time and found that she was also secretly observing them. Whenever their eyes met, she would always lower her head shyly, with a blush on her face.

Shinobu Mee patted the table and called the waiter to settle the bill. He turned to Feng Feng and said, "Young man, I can't give you the miracle egg. You can see that the girl is living a stable life now, and we shouldn't disturb her."

Feng Feng nodded. He understood Shinobu Meeme's concerns. He looked out the window. The setting sun had sunk below the horizon, and the sky was tinged with a light orange-red color.

"From an artificial intelligence to an unknown waiter who can only move around in a store, this kind of happiness cannot be truly understood by a human like me!"

Oshino Meme uttered the classic line from the Monogatari series: "Boy, humans can only save themselves!"

Chapter 646 The inevitable choice of connecting all realms

Sunday, April 9

A seat by the window at Wonder Egg House.

The dark-skinned girl withdrew her gaze from the outside of the store and looked at Oshino Meme with a determined light in her eyes: "I understand, uncle. I will respect Oto Ai's choice and will continue to find my own path."

Shinobu Mee looked at him with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. He patted the black-skinned girl on the shoulder and smiled, "Very good, girl. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up hope. The future is always full of possibilities, just like this hot pot, steaming hot and full of vitality."

The dark-skinned girl nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a deep and determined light. She understood the deep meaning of Shinobu Meme's words, and also understood the complexity and cruelty of this world.
