Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2318 The Wish of Oblivion

Chapter 2318 The Wish of Oblivion
It is said that to make a significant contribution to philosophy, one must either be extremely bored or suffer so much that one cannot sleep.

Therefore, Fu Qian placed high hopes on Ms. Sunny in front of him.

After all, based on her understanding of the former's situation, she could even be said to possess both of these talents.

Ultimately, on this beautiful winter day, Fu Qian directly chose a relatively difficult question.

Do you want to know you're dead...?

Even for Sunny, this question was extra difficult.

Becoming a covenantee means becoming a literal minion of the gods, which is called "the death of the self," and theoretically, there's nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, this statement clearly has a very hurtful effect and arouses suspicion about the professor's identity.

"I have no idea……"

Her expression stiffened even more, but after staring at him for a long time, Sunny still didn't question the identity of the person in front of her.

Is it some mysterious mentor, someone I've met before...?

Instead, he shook his head with difficulty the next moment, still focusing his attention on the problem.

"Imagine having a worse understanding of yourself than others; it's certainly a bad experience... But that doesn't mean you'd feel better if you knew the truth."

Without even offering a perfunctory answer, Sunny quickly went on to explain her thought process in more detail.

Of course, the thought process was very chaotic, fully reflecting the respondent's confusion.

"Understood--"

However, she listened attentively and nodded after he finished speaking.

"So you don't want to know."

……

Professor Fu's comprehension ability is clearly continuing to have an impact.

However, while Sunny looked incredulous, his expression remained calm and resolute.

We just reviewed Master Yuhun's insights, which stated that language is merely an expression full of errors.

So, if you want to get a more accurate answer, how can you just refer to what was said?

It's not just subjective conjecture to say that Sunny didn't want to know; in fact, the woman had already given a clear answer from the beginning—she didn't question her own identity.

The atmosphere was actually quite appropriate to some extent. He had arrived suspiciously, and his attitude wasn't very harsh. He had even brought up such a question on his own initiative.

Despite the buildup, Sunny hesitated and still refused to ask a single question about the wasteland.

If she were truly the guide, she would have killed her long ago, so there was virtually no danger to her life right now, a fact she was absolutely certain of.

The only reason I don't ask is because I don't want to know.

That's right, only a minority of people can be honest with their own hearts.

Sunny's reaction was completely consistent with her behavior of staying here and delaying going to the academy.

In contrast, Lady Neferi made the exact opposite choice.

They not only want to know, but they actively seek it out.

Ignite yourself with the fire of madness, and enter a painful and cruel countdown... It really makes one curious about what the next plan is.

“You’re right… I don’t actually want to know.”

While Fu Qian was lost in thought, Sunny, after receiving some advice, clearly also engaged in deep reflection.

At one point, she spoke with difficulty, finally admitting her cowardice.

"It's okay if you don't want to know. Who can guarantee that what others tell you is true?"

However, Professor Fu, who was in the midst of his momentum, once again made a surprising statement after listening, with his views constantly shifting so erratically that it left everyone bewildered.

"...Not even you, sir?"

As the first victim to be hit, Sunny took quite some time to recover before bravely pressing for answers.

"No."

He shook his head before paying.

Tragedy does not equate to correctness, and taking things to extremes is never advisable.

No matter how strange things have been lately, or how resolute Neferi may be, the idea of the apocalypse is currently only a possibility, far from being confirmed or disproven.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Have a wonderful day."

Before Sunny could even recover from this unpredictable situation, Fu Qian had already put the cup back on the table and stood up to leave.

"Your Excellency...are you leaving?"

Such a decisive move clearly took the host country by surprise.

This thrilling morning has ended just like that?

Sunny seemed to have never imagined that she would be let off so easily.

"Yes, there are a bunch of projects lined up, and the peace and quiet is something we have to steal."

Professor Fu, however, seemed to be speaking truthfully, and was already walking out while reminiscing.

When talking about work, he always has a busy yet fulfilling expression, with both joy and hardship in his work.

Looking back, even setting aside the unspoken subtext, this brief exchange truly felt like stealing a moment of peace from a busy life.

I just went for a walk and stopped by my neighbor's house for a cup of coffee.

"Okay, goodbye..."

The atmosphere was so conducive that Sunny was momentarily drawn into the role and said goodbye somewhat stiffly.

As she watched him go, Professor Fu never looked back until he was out of sight.

……

Respecting the fate of others, Sunny, a member of the Dragon King's retinue, has already made her own choice.

Since you're so reluctant to give up this mundane life, I, Tianqi, won't force you to comply.

It wasn't some kind of ploy to lure him in; after saying goodbye, he genuinely returned home, even using the same mode of transportation he had come in a very serious manner.

Therefore, on this ordinary winter day, she looks more like an office worker.

Sunny's attitude was not entirely unexpected.

But the fact that nothing seemed amiss about her was still somewhat strange.

The conclusion drawn from this is quite relevant to what I've seen and heard recently, making the whole world seem even more magical.

That alone makes arranging for her to come to the academy worthwhile.

The next step is simply to open it again at close range once the buried scroll has cooled down, and observe the reaction.

What if today's visit scares people away—where can they go if they run away?

Finding a place where one's heart finds peace is no easy task, let alone one where the neighborhood is so harmonious and the city has such a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

On the old tram, observing the passengers whose age structure had become noticeably younger, he directly removed the messenger from his wallet before paying.

They even work during their commute.

……

[WARNING, Leakage Incident]

A familiar place, familiar prompts.

On a cold winter day, the stability of the warehouse is heartwarming.

【Name: The Wish of Oblivion, Code Name: 2-013】

[Today's work plan has been updated. Enter the containment scenario 2-013 and complete the re-containment.]

This last shift of the week seemed to be relatively mild.

Numbered 2, its name even seems to fit the morning perfectly, containing a touch of wisdom about life.

[Would you like to start by consuming 1 point of sanity?]

【Yes】

I carefully examined the collar and cuffs of my lower garment, having already casually confirmed this before paying.
