Chapter 1460: Her Voice
In the dim corridor, Molly counted the door numbers and finally stopped in front of one.
She hesitated at the door for a long time before finally gathering her courage and knocking.
Knock knock knock—
A few soft raps echoed through the corridor, after which everything fell into dead silence.
Molly stood there, hearing her heart pound rapidly in the darkness. She kept organizing her words in her mind, her palms growing damp.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Molly stood at the door for about half a minute, but that door remained unopened.
She paused for a moment, then knocked again, this time more loudly.
Behind the door, there was still no movement whatsoever.
Molly's lips pressed together. She took a deep breath and spoke up proactively:
"Lin Qiye said you weren't feeling well, so I brought you the medicine box. I also made a bowl of porridge at the plaza… Can you open the door?"
After speaking, Molly stood at the door for a long while.
Apart from the distant noise from the plaza, the corridor remained dead silent.
"Baili Pangpang?" Molly called out tentatively, "If you don't want to see me, just say so from inside… Can you hear me?"
Molly waited a long time but still got no response. Concern crept into her eyes.
No reaction even to that… Could he have passed out inside?
"I… I'm coming in?" Molly placed her hand on the doorknob, trying to turn it, only to find it locked from the inside.
She gritted her teeth, about to activate 【万象频动】 to destroy the lock directly, when a bolt of Yang Thunder suddenly erupted from the doorknob, batting away Molly's palm. The counterforce sent her staggering backward several steps.
Molly looked at her palm and froze in place.
That Yang Thunder… she recognized it. Baili Pangpang was awake. He didn't want her to come in.
Her fists clenched tightly, her chest heaving:
"Baili Pangpang, I know you're in there! I'm not here to cling to you. I just think we need to sit down and have a proper talk.
You were the one who asked me to meet you in Guangzhou and Shenzhen back then. You were the one who made me wait in the rain for several hours. You were the one who told me on the safety charm to wait for your return… I waited. I waited for you for several years, and finally met you here…
But now, don't you even dare to open the door to see me, to say a single word? What kind of man are you?!"
Molly took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued:
"That day, you made me wait in the rain for several hours. I admit I was a bit angry at the time, but I stopped caring about it long ago. Later, I heard about what happened to you. Do you have any idea how worried I was during that time?
I took a week's leave from the team and stayed in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, searching for you near that area every day… Later, I heard that you had become a member of the Special Squad."
"To be honest, I was quite happy for you."
"You became a member of the Special Squad, so you'll only get stronger from now on. You'll walk ahead of everyone else… That's why I've been working hard to improve myself, hoping that when you come back to find me someday, I won't be a burden to you.
Finally… I saw you again today.
You stood at the very front of the beast tide and saved me, saved many people. At that time, I was still thinking in my heart when you would come find me on your own… But every time you clearly noticed me, you deliberately avoided me, not even willing to show your face before me.
Fine, if you won't come find me, I'll have to come find you myself."
Molly took out a sandalwood safety charm from her chest and gently placed it in her palm.
She was silent for a moment, then said slowly,
"I came to find you, not to demand anything… Ever since you started avoiding me, I've actually already had an answer in my heart."
"But… that can be understood too, I guess." Molly laughed mockingly at herself. "After all, our story happened so many years ago. As a famous member of 【Nightfall】 during this time, finding a girl more suited to you is quite normal…
I, I originally wanted to find you and have a proper face-to-face chat. Even just chatting as friends would have been fine.
But since you don't want to see me… then forget it."
Molly bent down and gently placed the medicine box and a bowl of steaming white porridge at the door.
Her gaze complicated as she looked at the warm sandalwood safety charm in her palm, she sighed deeply and placed it on the ground as well.
She stood up, facing the tightly closed door, and softly said:
"The thing you gave me, I'm returning it to you… Our story ends here."
After speaking, she didn't immediately turn and leave. Instead, she stood silently in the dim corridor for several minutes before shaking her head and vanishing at the end of the corridor.
The steam from the white porridge was gradually blown away by the cold evening wind.
Behind the door, Baili Pangpang sat cross-legged on the bed, a Jade Ruyi held between his palms. Countless lines of patterns were being drawn from the void, continuously flooding into his body, nearly drowning him entirely.
At the corners of that statue-like figure's eyes, two lines of clear tears slid silently down his cheeks…
…
Mist.
Greece, Olympus.
Between pitch-black thunderclouds, towering mountains stood interspersed, massive bolts of lightning slithering like giant serpents between the peaks and clouds. Pale flashes illuminated the dense, magnificent palaces atop the mountains.
Beyond the mountains, raging waves rolled and tumbled in the mist.
A slender figure in a black ecclesiastical robe stood among the churning waves, gazing at the distant, continuous Olympus mountain range, her brow furrowed.
Sizzle—!
A long trail of lightning tore across the sky and landed on the tallest of those peaks in an instant. The thunderous roar made the sea surface tremor slightly.
"Supreme God, Zeus has emerged from that ruins." A shadow rose from the water behind Si Xiaonan and spoke in a low voice.
Si Xiaonan narrowed her eyes as she gazed at that peak. "Is he alone?"
"He's alone. We also didn't see any changes on him. He doesn't seem to have been contaminated by the Cthulhu pantheon."
"I understand." She was silent for a moment. "Has the messenger to Great Xia returned?"
"They returned not long ago. The origin point of the Indian Divine Temple was destroyed. Great Xia should have won this battle."
Hearing these words, Si Xiaonan relaxed slightly.
"There's one more thing." The shadow paused for a moment. "The investigation you ordered us to conduct, regarding the whereabouts of the Night Goddess Nyx, has made progress."
"Speak."
"After Nyx returned to Olympus, she led several of her trusted Chief Gods in a split from the Zeus faction. Despite fighting an internal war for a long time, neither side could claim victory. Later, Zeus, citing unwillingness to see Greek gods exhaust themselves, proposed a one-on-one duel with Nyx—the victor claims the throne.
After Nyx agreed, they fought atop Mount Olympus for three days and three nights without a victor emerging. But who could have predicted that Zeus had actually colluded with the Indian Divine Temple—Brahma struck from afar and severely injured the Night Goddess, who had already been worn down by Zeus.
Nyx, dragging her heavily wounded body, broke through the encirclement and, leading her few trusted Chief Gods, headed directly northward…"
