Zongman: The post-2D era

The train started slowly, and the crowd on the platform gradually blurred into one. Victor held his wife's hand tightly and looked through the window at Feng Feng who was gradually going away.

Feng Feng's figure was stretched out under the dim light, like a silhouette, frozen in this warm farewell moment.

The train drove out of the platform and passed through the city under the night sky.

Inside the carriage, the lights were soft. Victor and Alice sat side by side, tightly holding the gift given by Feng Feng in their hands.

The scarf feels soft and warm, just like Feng Feng’s warm smile, which still lingers in my heart.

"So, I was busy dealing with problems yesterday, and you were the guide on this couple's tour."

Yukinoshita Yukino pinched her nose, her eyes had dark circles like a panda's, and she casually called up today's surveillance.

In the surveillance video, a pair of oriental fairies in green and white skirts are swimming together arm in arm.

"Feng Feng, these two are the main culprits of the attack. Their purpose is to allow the injured fairy to prolong her life and regain her youth."

Feng Feng stared at the screen. The couple in blue and white skirts looked relaxed and contented in the surveillance video. Their smiles and behavior seemed as if they were just ordinary tourists visiting the place.

However, in Feng Feng's eyes, as deep as the night sky, all disguises were exposed.

I saw two completely different pictures reflected in his pupils - two haggard, white-haired old men, their faces full of wrinkles of time, but their eyes flashing with death.

These two old men are the true faces of the seemingly leisurely oriental immortals.

Feng Feng turned his head and whispered to Xue Nai, "They are so cunning that they can hide so deeply. But I can see their true identity clearly."

His voice was soft but it was firm and unquestionable.

Feng Feng stared at the screen intently, his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all illusions and reach the essence of things.

He saw two old figures behind the couple. They had hunched backs and their skin was as dry as dead tree bark, but their eyes revealed a strange greed and madness.

Feng Feng turned his head and whispered to Xue Nai, "Look, their true bodies are already old and frail, but they still want to extend their lives through magic. It's really ridiculous and pathetic."

There was a hint of disdain in his voice, but also a bit of heaviness.

Upon hearing this, Xueno frowned, with a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes:

"You don't ask me why I let them act freely now that I have seen through their true colors?"

Xueno sighed softly, folded her arms, leaned on Fengfeng's shoulder, and stared at the couple in blue and white skirts on the surveillance screen.

A red cloud suddenly flashed through her mind. The cloud seemed to have magical power that could cover up all evil.

She nodded slightly, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered to Feng Feng: "I have already accepted the cloud blanket. Although the disguises of these two people are cunning, their lives are nearing the end."

"I gave them one last chance to spend a day in this city and experience one last joy. But I will never forget their crimes."

As soon as Yukino finished speaking, the couple on the surveillance screen seemed to sense something. Their smiles suddenly froze on their faces, then turned into a complex emotion and quietly disappeared into the night.

Feng Feng just stared at the screen quietly, with an indescribable light flashing in his deep eyes.

Yukino waved her hand gently, and the image on the surveillance screen gradually faded, replaced by soft lights.

She turned her head slightly and looked up at Feng Feng's profile. Her deep eyes seemed to contain an endless universe, both calm and warm.

"Feng Feng," Xue Nai's voice was gentle but firm, "If one day, we will also grow old and face the end of our lives, I hope that we can be like them and travel together for the last time on this land that we love so much."

Feng Feng heard this and turned his head slightly, meeting Xue Nai's eyes. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he reached out and gently held Xue Nai's hand.

The two smiled at each other, as if they had seen the distant future. Under the setting sun, they walked hand in hand on the golden beach. The sea breeze blew, and their figures were stretched very long...

"Don't be silly, we won't die."

Feng Fengcan smiled, gently held Xueno's shoulder, turned and walked towards the desk in the carriage.

"Where are the files? You didn't ask me to come here to check the surveillance, did you?"

There was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to get involved in the busy reconstruction.

"You're still such a clumsy way of changing the subject."

Xueno smiled, took out a thick folder from the pile of documents and handed it to Fengfeng.

The lighting in the room was soft, and the shadows of the two people intertwined on the wall to form a warm picture.

Feng Feng opened the folder and saw lines of densely packed handwriting, but he did not feel bored at all. Instead, his eyes flashed with concentration and determination.

He read the documents one by one, nodding from time to time, and lightly drawing on the documents with a pen, as if every stroke was outlining the blueprint for the future.

A few hours later, the lights in the room were still dim, but Feng Feng had finished the work in his hands.

He gently put down the folder and looked up at Yukino, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.

Yukino was concentrating on organizing the documents on her desk and didn't seem to notice that Feng Feng had already finished his work.

Feng Feng stood up, walked to Xue Nai, and said softly: "Xue Nai, are you done with your work? Let's go out for dinner together."

Yukino raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she smiled and nodded.

The two walked out of the carriage side by side. It was late at night and the sky was dotted with stars.

They walked slowly along the walkway of the station, exchanging a few words from time to time, their voices echoing on the empty platform.

The lights on both sides of the street shone on them, casting long shadows that intertwined with each other, as if foreshadowing that their future paths would be closely connected.

The night was as dark as ink, and the two walked into an antique restaurant.

As soon as you step into the store, the faint scent of sandalwood lingers in your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy. The dim lights in the store create a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.

"You, did this on purpose?"

Xueno and Fengfeng walked through the bustling crowd of diners and inadvertently caught a pair of figures in the corner.

They were a couple dressed in ancient costumes with extraordinary temperament. The man was in green and the woman was in a white skirt. They were talking in low voices, and their every move revealed an ethereal air that transcended the world.

Xueno and Fengfeng looked at each other, and at the same time, an inexplicable melancholy welled up in their hearts.

They nodded slightly in greeting, then each chose a seat by the window.

Feng Feng noticed that Xue Noi's gaze drifted towards the couple in ancient costumes from time to time. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including envy and reluctance.

He gently patted the back of Xueno's hand and said softly: "Xueno, look at them. Although their faces are no longer young, their otherworldly temperament makes people respect them."

Xueno turned to look at Fengfeng, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Feng Feng took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "In fact, they are not beyond saving."

"There's a recent anime called 'The Old Couple Return to Youth', in which the golden apple can save two people's lives."

"But the price is losing all immortal skills and having to spend the rest of my life as a mortal."

Chapter 723 Not Alone

Friday, June 23

"Yukino, the old couple started their lives again and grew apples."

After hearing this, Yukino's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she sighed softly, as if she understood something.

"So that's how it is, immortals become fruit farmers, grow old and return to youth, is this a cycle of reincarnation forever?"

Just as the two were immersed in this mysterious legend, a familiar figure passed by the door.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker and a baseball cap. He was walking in a hurry, as if he was looking for something.

Feng Feng's heart moved. He knew that person. He was the famous villain in the anime - Aizen.

Xueno also noticed it. She held Fengfeng's hand tightly. The two looked at each other and felt uneasy.

The appearance of Aizen seems to foreshadow the coming storm. How will they face this unknown challenge?

Aizen turned around and locked eyes with Yukino, then threw out a ball of light and said, "If Feng Feng doesn't recover his normal strength, Utopia will be finished."

The ball of light flickered, and after a burst of white light, Aizen's figure disappeared from the spot.

Feng Feng's movements were swift and decisive. He placed his big hand gently over Xueno's eyes, as if protecting a fragile treasure.

The other hand clenched into a fist, and then, a dazzling golden sword light burst out from the center of the fist, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, illuminating the dim room.

The golden sword light danced in the air like a golden dragon, carrying endless power and strength.

However, just as it was about to reach its peak, the light suddenly became soft, as if wrapped in the faint light of dawn, and gradually dissipated into the air.

Feng Feng's face was solemn and he shook his head, as if he was sighing, or as if he was giving a warning.

His voice was low and firm: "Aizen's strength has become stronger again. We must deal with him carefully."

Under his protection, Yukino felt unprecedented tension and oppression. If Aizen was serious, they would face an unprecedented challenge.

"Don't worry, Aizen can't beat me yet, so he won't attack easily. This time he's just testing me."

As soon as Feng Feng finished speaking, he gently put down his hand. Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she blinked slightly, adapting to the sudden light.

"Well, we'll still go to dinner as planned."

There was a hint of determination in her eyes. The dependence and trust she showed at this moment were the greatest support she could give to Feng Feng.

The two of them walked out of the room slowly. The corridor was quiet, with only their footsteps echoing.

Feng Feng walked in front, his back looked particularly tall under the dim light, giving people a sense of security.

Yukinoshita Yukino followed closely behind him. Although her steps were light, each step was very firm.

In the restaurant, warm yellow lights fill the entire space, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Feng Feng pulled out a chair and motioned Yukinoshita to sit down. He leaned forward slightly and asked her what she liked in a low voice, then turned around and ordered a few exquisite dishes from the waiter.

The two sat opposite each other, and although they did not speak, their eyes revealed a deep understanding.

Yukino quietly took out her cell phone from her bag, her fingertips slid quickly across the screen, and she quickly edited a message about Aizen's sudden appearance and the warning he left behind.

After sending the message, she gently put the phone back on the table, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the uneasiness in her heart.

Feng Feng was concentrating on studying the menu, and from time to time he looked up and cast a questioning look at Xue Noi.

Yukino smiled and shook her head gently, telling him not to worry.

The waiter came over with the dishes, and plates of exquisite dishes were placed in front of the two of them. Steam rose, the aroma spread, and the dishes looked particularly tempting under the lights.

Feng Feng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, and gently put it into Xueno's bowl, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yukino lowered her head and took a light bite of the fish. The delicious taste instantly spread in her mouth.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if at this moment, all their worries were forgotten.
