Having returned home, Han Fei logged into the game for the first time during the day.
Previously, he had been very resistant to entering the game, but since leaving Fu Sheng's Memory Shrine, he had changed a lot.
He didn't say it out loud, but he had already come to regard that deepest despair as his own home.
After a hearty meal, Han Fei put on the game helmet.
As the area was filled with a blood-red mist, Han Fei felt a tightness in his back as he logged into the game. The blood-colored creature that stood back-to-back with him seemed to climb onto his shoulder, its body slowly bending downwards.
"Someday I will see you," he muttered.
Upon opening his eyes, Han Fei found Cry and Ying Yue staring at him curiously, as if wondering why he had appeared so early today.
"Have you two become good friends now?" Han Fei touched the heads of the two children. Cry, with his recent growth spurts, had grown quite tall, almost resembling a big brother to Ying Yue.
