Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

There was an umbrella in Huang Quan's hand.

"Let's go. Although you should have already done some research, I still want to inform you in advance that the upcoming journey may disappoint you."

"Are we going to get lost again?"

"..."

......

Chapter 37: Proof of Being Human

Huang Quan chuckled unexpectedly.

She wanted to let Zhuqing know through practical actions.

She wasn't always lost.

She still remembers some places she often visited.

pity.

This time it failed.

The two of them walked for a whole day before they arrived at the destination Huang Quan mentioned.

It was a vast ocean, with a sea surface as black as ink and a dark red sky, which suppressed people's emotions all the time.

Don’t even mention the power of nothingness, even if it doesn’t exist.

If you stay in this place for a long time, you will have some problems with your thinking.

Zhu Qing held his head with one hand and shook it.

The power of nothingness is pervasive. Just a little bit of it will cause the uncomfortable feeling to be clearly transmitted to every corner of the body.

That feeling is not pain. Pain is also a kind of existence under the influence of nothingness.

Even the pain is hard to feel.

This feeling made Zhu Qing unable to describe it, it was like...

It's like my own existence is being erased.

"I won't become a self-destructor, will I?"

He doesn't want to be the living dead yet.

"Given your current situation, it's difficult unless you yearn for nothingness."

Who would believe in nihilism for no reason?

The existence of such a terrifying thing will only keep people away.

This reminded Zhu Qing of a report he had read. Because it was interesting enough, many people knew about it.

There was once a small group of people from the Annihilation Gang who felt that the Void Star God was easy to bully, so they prepared to form a group to attack the Void Star God.

In this regard, the Joyful Star God Aha felt that he should help them.

Aha gave them a ride and sent them to the void.

Then......

The universe never received any information from the Annihilation Gang again.

"Here we are."

Huang Quan stopped.

In the distance, a hunched old man was sitting on the rocks, watching the sea.

"That's the guy you're looking for."

Tiernan.

"How is he doing now?"

"He is dead."

Huang Quan said this without hesitation.

"The power of nothingness will transform those who possessed strong wills in life into bloody sinful spirits. They will repeatedly imitate the deceased's actions, movements, and even thoughts."

"When I first met him, I talked with him for a long time and heard many stories from him, although I don't remember most of them anymore."

"But... if he knew the news about the 'Sea Ranger', he would probably be very happy."

Huang Quan looked at the old man in front of him.

"However, whether he is still himself now depends on your own judgment."

"Thank you."

Hearing Zhu Qing's thanks, Huang Quan shook his head and stopped talking.

Zhu Qing raised his feet and walked towards the old man in the distance.

The water under my feet was very deep. When I stepped on it, the splashes of water mixed with the rainwater almost perfectly hid the sound of my footsteps.

Zhu Qing walked beside him.

"You...are back again."

Tiernan's voice sounded particularly old.

Finally, he seemed to turn his stiff neck slightly and saw Zhu Qing's figure.

"No, you're not her."

"She has walked too far down the path of nothingness, and is nowhere near as dazzling as you are."

"Why did you come here?"

"I've been entrusted with this task, Senior Tiernan."

Zhu Qing's words were very polite. No matter what, the other party's actions were worthy of respect.

"Tiernan...it's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me by this name."

The old man's voice was intermittent and he seemed a little tired.

If you don't listen carefully, it's hard to even hear his voice.

"Who asked you to come?"

"Mikhail."

"Mikhail...Mikhail...Il."

Tie'ernan's voice was intermittent, and his cloudy eyes made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

"Did he...say anything?"

"My only mission is to find you or bring back news about you."

"Yeah......"

"But this mission has been pending for so long, so long that no one knows where it came from. Even today, he is still waiting for news from you."

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at the dark red sky in the distance.

A faint voice, trembling slightly.

"I'm... sorry to Mikhail, sorry to Lazarina, sorry to Pinocchio..."

Zhu Qing didn't know much about the story of the person in front of him.

It is a story that is too old. Unless one is a long-lived race like Xianzhou, it would be extremely difficult to find it.

So, he couldn't think of any words to comfort the other person.

I can only stand aside in silence.

"I want to go back, but I can't go back. I can't go back to my home..."

After that, silence fell between the two.

The old man lowered his head even lower, and his hunched back seemed to be even shorter.

The raindrops fell on the water, dancing violently.

But there is not a trace of life.

"Young man, you didn't come here just for an old man like me, did you?"

Before Zhu Qing could speak, Huang Quan's voice came into his head.

"He doesn't know anything about himself yet, so please don't tell him for now."

Zhu Qing paused, then nodded.

"Well, I came here actually for your other identity."

"Another identity?"

"Sea Ranger."

"So you are their descendant. How has the Sea Ranger been doing since we left?"

"It's been dormant for many years and has only recently returned."

"Yeah."

Tiernan's voice weakened again, and as he said, he was like an old man in his twilight years.

"No wonder you are like this..."

The old man turned his head slightly and looked at the young man in the straw raincoat in front of him with his cloudy eyes.

"Young man, can I ask you a favor?"

"Well, it's my honor to witness the glory of you Sea Rangers."

This war was not won by one person alone.

But they should have a common name.

Sea patrol ranger.

"I don't ask for Mikhail's forgiveness, but... if in the future, Pinocchio... my hometown, to which I can never return, encounters any difficulties, could you... please help it?"

"of course can."

"Thank you."

Tiernan thanked him.

"It's a pity that I don't seem to have anything to give you."

"I've already been paid."

"What...?"

"The will of the Ranger."

"hehe......"

"Your presence, here, is as dazzling as the sun that has not been seen in a long time."

"Go away, young man. You don't belong here, and you... shouldn't stay here."

The old man's eyes seemed to regain a bit of clarity, but soon, they became silent again.

"Who are you?"

"He's already started repeating himself again."

Huang Quan walked behind Zhu Qing and said, "He only regains clarity occasionally. Before we part, it's better not to disturb him again."

"Ah."
