As far as the "Seele" before her was concerned, as long as the two of them could be together, it did not matter how long they stayed in the Sea of Quantum. But she also knew very well that "Seele" must desperately want to return to the real world.
So she could not reject this hard-won hope. Even if there might be schemes and traps behind it, even if the odds of success were practically zero, she could not give it up.
"Looks like we've reached an agreement."
Seeing the other party put away the hairpin, Ai Yue nodded. "In that case, let's go. They're coming."
"One last question."
Seele still spoke up. "Why are you helping me?"
She could sense that this man before her was hiding many secrets. Moreover, there had been many strange points in their conversation just now. For example, he was far too familiar with Seele—as if he knew her.
But the current situation left her no time to think. She could also sense the "they" Ai Yue had mentioned, so in the end, she could only ask this one question.
"Because someone needs help. It's that simple."
Ai Yue smiled. "Of course, if you're not satisfied with that answer, I can also say it's because you're very valuable for research, and I want to take you back for a proper study. Satisfied now?"
Seele glanced at Ai Yue, then suddenly laughed. "Hmph. Liar."
After saying that, she no longer hesitated. She simply turned around and took one step, vanishing from Ai Yue's sight in an instant.
He had indeed lied, but strangely enough, it was the second half that was a lie.
Seeing Seele leave, Ai Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the system panel and could not help smiling.
