Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 226 The next life is too far away, seize the day!
Looking at his familiar colleagues, 0609 smiled warmly on his aged face.

"Long time no see," he said with a smile.

0609 is back?!

Everyone stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.

The Journey – Most of the dust people on the lighthouse do not live to the age of the Journey, and none of those who participate in the Journey ever return, whether they are dust people or upper-class citizens.

How did 0609 get back?
4068 exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't you going on a long journey? We watched you go down, and we were sad for a long time!"

0609 was well-liked among the common people. Upon learning of his impending departure, he immediately gave away all the things he had collected to those in need. In the days following his departure, the common people looked sorrowful whenever they mentioned him.

"It's a long story, but we have to thank 1012 for it all!" 0609 said with emotion.

"By the way, where's 1012?"

He came specifically to thank Bai Yuetian.

However, although the dormitory was crowded with people, Bai Yuetian was nowhere to be seen.

“1012 doesn’t live with us anymore; he has his own dormitory.”

4068 excitedly shared, "You don't know yet, do you? 1012 is a ground-dweller. We're going to return to the ground to live. The Three Laws will be gone!"

0609 was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, 4068 pulled him into the house.

"Who is this?" 4068 looked at the woman who was holding 0609's arm.

He felt the old woman looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

“She is my lover, Li An’an,” 0609 introduced solemnly. “You’ve all met her; she’s the Shangmin who traveled with me that day.”

Everyone was taken aback.

Shangmin?

Are the upper class and the commoners together?

“We were together before Lord Morgan promulgated the Three Laws.”

Looking at Li An'an, 0609's eyes revealed deep affection, and he said softly, "Decades have passed, and I still remember her, and she still remembers me."

4068 stared wide-eyed.

"I remember now!" he exclaimed. "That one on your phone!"

Li An'an smiled and said, "Hello."

4068's heart suddenly raced.

He thought to himself, if 0609 could get back together with Li An'an from Shangmin, then so should I and 4277.
4079 asked in surprise, "Have you met before?"

4068 snapped out of his daze, hesitated for two seconds, and then replied, "It's a long story."

"Sit down, sit down!" he shouted.

"Make room for 0609 and your sister-in-law!"

0609 took Li An'an's hand and sat on Bai Yuetian's bed.

4068 asked impatiently, "0609, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"

Everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears.

"As you all know from the very beginning, 1012 fixed my phone."

0609 held Li An'an's hand and said, "Later, 1012 saw a video of An'an and me when we were young on my phone. He asked me if I still wanted to be with An'an."

"hehe."

“So many years have passed, I don’t expect An’an to still remember me, so I rejected him at first, not wanting to cause him any trouble.”

Li An'an silently looked at 0609's profile.

A young soul was imprisoned within an aging body. The way she looked at 0609 was incredibly sweet, like a spoonful of honey scooped from a honey pot, stretching sweet threads in the sunlight.

"1012 He is a very good person."

“I don’t know what he sacrificed, but he finally found An’an, and An’an actually remembered me and was willing to give up everything to be with me.”

0609 turned her head and looked at Li An'an.

He laughed and said, "Later, when 1012 came back, he said he had a big surprise for me."

"I was still thinking about it at the time."

"Translate this: what does 'surprise' mean?" "No sooner had he left than the people from the law firm informed me of a long journey."

"Scared me."

"So this was the surprise all along!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheerful laughter filled the dormitory.

Even Li An'an couldn't help but laugh.

0609 smiled and shook her head, continuing, "I didn't blame 1012 at the time, because I was the one who asked him for help. Besides, I fixed the phone and saw what An'an and I looked like when we were young, so I have no regrets."

"Let's go on a long journey then."

"I'll wait for An'an downstairs first."

"result."

"The real surprise is here!"

0609 gripped Li An'an's hand tightly and said in a high-pitched voice, "On that day, only two people traveled far away. One was me, and the other was An'an!"

"And we haven't even left the lighthouse!"

"After the elevator platform was lowered to a certain height, it stopped. Two city guards led us into the pipes and finally to an abandoned maintenance workshop, where we made our home."

“During this time, we actually lived on the lighthouse, and the city defense forces were responsible for our food.”

"Although we can't leave the room, it's like being in prison, but as long as the people we love are with each other, even being in prison is a kind of happiness."

0609 was deeply moved.

Looking back on this period of my life, it feels like a dream.

If he weren't holding the hand of his beloved, he would have doubted whether all of this was just a figment of his imagination.

0609's tone softened, and he said softly, "When I stood on the elevator platform and looked at the horizon, there was a moment when I felt that I had a sudden realization and no longer cared about this world."

"But now I just want to live as long as possible. The next life is too far away, so I'll seize the day."

0609 finished telling his story.

Everyone was still not satisfied.

"I don't know why, but I feel like crying."

"Me too."

"I wish you all the best, 0609."

"What did the old world say again? 'Grow old together, live a long and happy life, and have many children.'"

0609 held Li An'an's hand and rubbed the back of Li An'an's hand with his thumb.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

4079 scratched his head and said, "I was born with three laws, and I don't know what it feels like to like someone, to make you want to die for them."

"How about I have 4277 introduce her girlfriends to you?" 4068 put his arm around 4079's shoulder with a playful grin.

4079's face flushed red: "This isn't a good idea."

"Look at you!" 4068 pushed 4079 away.

He asked 0609, "From your description, you seem to have been doing quite well lately. Why did you suddenly come out?"

"It felt like an earthquake a couple of days ago; An'an and I almost fell to our deaths," 0609 said with a wry smile.

"After the city garrison asked Lord Mark for his opinion, they let An'an and me out so that we could pack our things and prepare to move."

0609 showed a look of lingering fear.

Both he and Li An'an were old and frail. On the day the lighthouse fell, they were caught off guard and suffered serious injuries, but fortunately, they did not break any bones.

"I see." 4068 nodded.

0609 looked curious: "What's been going on at the Lighthouse lately? It seems to have changed a lot since I came out."

"Why did Lord Morgan suddenly quit?"

"After Captain Mark becomes the city lord, who will be the commander of the hunters?"

Why the sudden move?

"Also, the lighthouse is so close to the ground now, I can even see the Devouring Beasts on the ground!"
