Chapter 816 How could I possibly be wrong?
René and Jacob were both veterans of the Narcissistic Cross Society, and when Xu Ning raised his finger, they naturally knew what he wanted them to see.
That was a huge clock face placed on the ceiling, built with the combined efforts of everyone from the very beginning of the society's establishment.
The clock face contains the "world formula" derived by René, and it can be said that this clock face represents the ultimate ideal and action plan of the entire Narcissistic Cross Society. The end of its cycle represents the demise of the society and the rebirth of the world.
And the hands on that dial, just like when everyone was forging the holy sword to see the master, were only a hair's breadth away from that final moment.
Even a slightly larger tremor of the pointer can cause it to cross that line.
But despite the short distance, the pointer remained stationary after so much time had passed, without moving forward even an inch.
Jacob turned around in surprise, “Lord Saigong… what have you done to defy the prophecy of fate and change…”
René patted Jacob lightly and shook his head. "There was no avoidance, and no change."
Jacob naturally chose to unconditionally believe René's judgment.
"So when exactly will this thread reach its end?"
Rene turned to look at Xu Ning, "Then... it seems we'll have to see what Lord Saigong wants, won't we?"
Xu Ning shook his head. "It's not about following my own will... but we can't let fate dictate our lives either. Before that final moment arrives, we still need a lot of help to see that different future."
As Jacob watched Rene's body begin to disintegrate, he gritted his teeth and boldly asked, "Although we know we are gravely guilty, do we know that in the future that Lord Saigong hopes for, there will be a place for us brothers?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning finally stood up straight and looked at the two brothers in front of him.
"Deeply sinful? Unfortunately, most of the people I know are 'sinners.' Although I really want to tell you that whether it's you or Katapila and Ann, whether you're here or somewhere else, you will eventually meet again in the new world... But since you've brought it up, why don't you just watch from inside my gourd and see how the people in this world are working for the new world? Then you'll know that saving the world is never a solitary endeavor, not just you, not just me..."
Jacob was overjoyed and happily extended his hand to René.
René hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and covered Jacob's body with his own mutilated body.
"Lord Saigong, please help us."
Xu Ning nodded, tilted the gourd slightly, and a clear stream of water flowed into Lei's remains.
Like snow melting in the six yangs, Jacob's body was instantly melted, and countless black residues fell off. The part that turned into pure water, along with René, carrying all his emotions and memories, was put into the Dust Concealment Gourd by Xu Ning.
"Phew, at least one more thing has been taken care of. Let me think about what to do next... Hmm... Would it be too direct to just let it go like this? That guy will definitely be suspicious..."
Xu Ning appeared on the surface of the sea, swaying on the waves for a while, looked around, and finally chose a direction and flew away quickly.
three days later.
"Hey, Sora... why are we just sitting here idly drinking the wind? Is that big drunkard really going to bring honey-glazed char siu, eight-treasure duck, braised pork meatballs... here? I'm so hungry!"
Paimon sat listlessly on a large wooden barrel, resting his chin on his hands, looking towards the dock and lazily complaining.
"Stop reciting the menu. I really want to eat too, okay? Come down and hide it for me. It's so conspicuous that my brother will see it immediately."
Kong, who was hiding behind the barrel, reached out and dragged Paimon down.
"That doesn't make sense. Based on my judgment, my brother should definitely be here. How could I be wrong? ... Alright, stop struggling. Let's wait another day. If he still doesn't appear, I'll take you back to Fontaine for a good meal."
Finally, despite his exhaustion and frustration, Kong returned to Fontainebleau with Paimon as promised... Grand de Bois Hotel.
"How could I possibly be wrong!"
Even as he pushed open the door, Kong still harbored deep doubts, fearing he shouldn't have come back, perhaps he should have held on a little longer...
"Furina? What are you doing here... and the big drunkard too?! What are you all doing here?!"
Upon hearing the words "big drunkard," Kong instantly jolted awake and looked inside with an incredulous expression.
Xu Ning and Fu Ningna were sitting in the center of the De Bo Hotel, and they had ordered most of the dishes on the table.
Seeing Funina picking and choosing what to eat, Paimon rushed over and sat down without any ceremony, immediately showing off.
"I'm doing this to prevent you from wasting it!"
Xu Ning set out a set of cutlery for Kong, saying, "You all look like you haven't eaten for three or four days..."
Kong Mumu replied blankly, "I ate. I ate barbecue on the first day, barbecue on the second day, barbecue on the third day, mushrooms... barbecue on the fourth day."
Xu Ning clicked his tongue and sighed, "What kind of desert island diet is this... But I really can't laugh at you. Come on, let's see what this retired water goddess ate for the past four days?"
Kong looked at Funina across from him with an inquiring gaze.
Funina coughed lightly, a little guilty. "Ahem, how could I possibly remember such tedious, mundane things... Let me think... First day, tomato and minced meat; second day, creamy mushrooms; third day, black bean dace; fourth day, dried shrimp and mixed vegetables..."
Paimon puffed out his cheeks. "This isn't bad at all, it's much better than ours."
"...pasta with these four sauces."
Under Xu Ning's piercing gaze, Fu Ningna finally finished speaking the last half of her sentence.
Kong was immediately shocked. "You eat rice noodles all day long? I don't remember the Steambird newspaper mentioning that you like eating rice noodles! It seems like Zhu Yingting should be giving you a pension, right..."
Funina awkwardly turned her head away, "Well... I had more important things to do that took up my time..."
Xu Ning mercilessly exposed the lie, "Reading a storybook?"
Kong chuckled, "So, Big Brother specially brought her out to eat something nutritious?"
Xu Ning thought for a moment, "Not entirely. That's only one aspect. Another aspect is that her apartment has been blocked by people these past two days, so I brought her out through the window to eat."
Ha, they've turned the whole of Fontainebleau upside down!
Who dares to block the gate of the former water god!
What do people eat at Zhuyingting?
Kong slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "I'm not eating anymore! I'll go clean them up for you right now!"
