I write obituaries for the gods

"How did you become such a coward?" Marcus frowned. "Back when you were in Hua Molan's office questioning why the victims of Operation Black Abyss were covered up, you seemed like a tough guy. What? Has the Black Web turned you into a weakling?"

“You can’t provoke me with those words,” Wu Hao shook his head. “I’m a piece of trash.”

"Useless is useless. Can you even guard the door? Keep an eye on what's happening at the door for me."

“Don’t worry, those guards don’t patrol unless there’s something wrong,” Wu Hao said. “The cells here can even lock up abnormal entities, so nobody’s watching us.”

"alright."

After Marcus finished speaking, he began to chisel at the wall with the tooth he had pulled out.

Wu Hao glanced at his actions every now and then and complained:

"What is this? The Shawshank Redemption?"

"Shut up, look at your wind."

"Alright, Mr. Andy Dufresne."

About half an hour later, Marcus managed to carve the shape of a door into the wall with his teeth.

He reached out and gently knocked on the door.

“Jiang Zhengge,” Marcus whispered, “can you hear me?”

"..."

Wu Hao looked at Marcus with a pitiful expression and sighed:

"The poor bastard has gone completely insane."

But then...

"Click".

A illusory door opened in a flash, and Jiang Zhengge poked half his head out.

"Marcus."

He nodded to Marcus, then looked at Wu Hao in the room and frowned immediately:

"How did you end up living with this bastard?"

"You fucking..."

Wu Hao stared blankly at Jiang Zhengge.

"you..."

“This is a marker, a good partner for spies,” Marcus showed Wu Hao the tooth, which had a hint of blue. “As long as the frequency of the Ideal Country gate opener is adjusted in advance, it can open the door directly. You haven’t been on field missions for the past two years, have you? Where have you been making your fortune?”

"To make a long story short, I can't keep the door open forever," Jiang Zhengge said in a low voice, "Who is the traitor?"

“Louis, that little rascal from your department.”

“Not surprising,” Jiang Zhengge sighed, “but I didn’t expect this kid to be so ruthless.”

“He has something even more ruthless. He has already dismantled the W weapon from the Utopia. Now he can do the exact same thing as the Foundation—just find a place that looks good, drag it into the warp, and destroy his enemies.”

"That's really bad news," Jiang Zhengge said. "Where are Lin Chen and Zhan Yi? They didn't fall?"

“They got away, I let them go,” Marcus pointed to his face, “and got a beating in return. Was it worth it?”

“It’s totally worth it,” Jiang Zhengge smiled. “I’ll leave this door here. Next, I’ll try to contact Xiao Hei and have her write a program that can paralyze Ideal Country…”

"Is it safe over there?" Marcus asked.

"Don't worry, this ideal country is just like home. Those idiots Louis sent can't catch us at all."

After Jiang Zhengge finished speaking, he gave Wu Hao a meaningful look.

"What you need to make sure of is that this bastard won't betray us."

"You fucking..."

Wu Hao looked at Jiang Zhengge with a burning hatred.

He trembled for a long time, then his hand loosened, and he asked softly:

"Have you and your demigod woman avenged Xiao Fang?"

"Oh? You're quite perceptive, knowing there's something big going on outside?" Jiang Zhengge raised his eyebrows.

There's nothing new under the sun.

Jiang Zhengge stared at Wu Hao for a while, then said softly:

"Triton is dead, and Katrina... is probably dead too."

"..."

Upon receiving this news, Wu Hao collapsed onto the bed.

He stared at the wall for a long time, then lay down on the bed and turned over.

Watching his retreating figure, Jiang Zhengge knew that Wu Hao wouldn't betray him.

“We need to reduce communication from now on. Just enough to maintain basic communication,” Jiang Zhengge said, looking at Marcus. “Thank you for your hard work, brother.”

“You’re messing around with my brothers again,” Marcus frowned. “Damn it, you guys in the department love to show off the most, especially you.”

“We’re all brothers, why are you giving me this nonsense?” Jiang Zhengge laughed.

"Be careful. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news outside." Marcus nodded.

"Clang."

The door closed, and the marks on the wall gradually faded, but a mark had been left here.

Marcus looked up at Wu Hao's retreating figure:

"Hey, don't be a snitch, it's low, you know?"

Wu Hao did not answer; he simply lay on the bed, curled up like a corpse.

Marcus stared at him for a while, then lay down on the bed and began to groan:

"Ouch...it fucking hurts..."

......

"call..."

When Lin Chen woke up, he felt sore all over.

It hurts so much... I'm so sleepy...

Still feeling very sleepy, Lin Chen stretched, hugged his pillow tightly, and let out a soft hum.

Wait... a body pillow...?

Where did I get this cushion?

Lin Chen opened his eyes, and in his dazed state, he saw Li Zhanyi's face.

Li Zhanyi was curled up in his arms, fast asleep, her cheeks rosy.

She hadn't even changed her clothes; she looked completely disheveled...

broken...

Lin Chen suddenly remembered his dream.

Regardless of whether that dream was real or not... his action of hugging Li Zhanyi seemed to be a synchronization between the dream and reality.

Ah... this is too much...

Lin Chen carefully tried to get away, after all, it wasn't appropriate to sleep while holding the girl like this, especially since it was rather awkward...

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to break free, Li Zhanyi grabbed him instead.

"Big Bear..."

Li Zhanyi murmured, gently rubbing against Lin Chen's chest, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Chen suddenly felt like he couldn't move.

What should I do... I have absolutely no experience with this...

If she wakes up...it'll be so embarrassing...

Oh no... this is bad...

Looking at the girl in his arms, Lin Chen tried to steady his breathing and closed his eyes tightly.

He sensed Li Zhanyi's movements, searching for the point where her strength was relatively loose...

With a gentle struggle!

Lin Chen successfully broke free from Li Zhanyi's embrace.

"Phew... I'm free..."

Lin Chen got out of bed, covered Li Zhanyi with a blanket, put on his clothes, and quietly left the room.

After closing the door, he leaned against it and gently exhaled.

This is awkward! What will we do when Li Zhanyi wakes up?

How can this be explained? Was I sleepwalking?

I hope I won't be seen as a pervert...

Lin Chen pressed his temples and gently shook his head.

It's strange, why would I dream about Li Zhanyi?

Moreover, why does this dream seem somewhat familiar?

Lin Chen searched his memory, focusing on those two passages.

"Lin Chen, take the feathers and run!"

You won't be alone...

As he thought about it, he had an idea—

Operation to Destroy the Nation!

Lin Chen overheard this conversation at the "Never-Ending Family Feast".

The ruins will use illusions related to family to lure in visitors and assimilate them into a family feast.

The hallucinations that Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi heard were the same one.

Some time had passed since that incident, and Lin Chen had almost forgotten about his past relationship with Li Zhanyi...

At the time, he even speculated whether this meant he and Li Zhanyi would become "lovers" later on—lovers are family, after all.

However, the exact timeframe for this memory is quite vague...

Lin Chen wiped his face, pondering various possibilities.

First of all, he certainly didn't know Li Zhanyi before; if he had, he would have recognized him at their first meeting.

And the fact that she could say something like "You won't be alone" in a dream... wow, if you'd actually seen that, would you forget it?

Could it be that the scene described is truly in the future? How could such a small ruin evoke a future scenario? Then this ruin is even more powerful than Li Zhanyi; even Li Zhanyi couldn't predict Lin Chen's future!

The most likely explanation is that the ruins could only evoke illusions from people's subconscious.

Therefore, this memory could only come from the past—from a corner of Lin Chen's subconscious that he himself had forgotten.

Zhanyi is a mysterious girl found in the ruins... Lin Chen is a "ghost of history" from an unknown past...

Haha, the combined number of people in those two people is less than one.

Is it truly a connection from the past? How far back in time...?

For some reason, Lin Chen thought of the Secret Party's plan—

The Historical Collapse Plan.

"The purpose of the historical collapse project is not to destroy history, but to restart the flow of history."

Lin Chen murmured softly.

Could it be that that memory... comes from some historical event in the past?
