Angela was extremely surprised after hearing what Huang Hao had said and asked, "Why?"
Huang Hao said, "I feel like something's wrong with my mood. It's the same as the supervisor's."
Angela said, "But I didn't..."
Huang Hao waved his hand and continued, "You should understand future planning better than I do. Rin isn't dead, Cosmo hasn't undergone Honkai corruption, and what happens afterward has nothing to do with us. Angela, please, I'm begging you."
After speaking in a terrifyingly calm tone, Huang Hao directly returned to the void.
Seeing Angela staring blankly and remembering what Huang Hao had just said, Elysia couldn't help asking, "Hmm, Angela, are you all right? Is your father okay?"
Angela came back to herself and replied, "Oh, thank you. I'm fine, but Father might be in some trouble..."
After the protagonist, Huang Hao, left, there was nothing much left for everyone to discuss. Kevin then said, "Let's go back first. We've been through so much just now, and there are still plenty of things waiting for us to deal with."
"Angela, once we get back, you can try calling your father out. We have the best psychologists here, and if it's him, Mobius and the others might be very happy."
After saying that, Kevin was the first to leave. The others followed, while Qian Jie remained where he was, accompanying Angela as she thought—or rather, stared blankly.
Angela noticed that Qian Jie had not left yet. Unsure what he wanted, she asked, "Uncle Qian Jie... I mean, brother, is there something else?"
Qian Jie said bluntly, "That space. Let me in. I'll talk to him."
Angela thought it over and finally nodded, agreeing. However, she put forward one condition: "I can do that... But when the time comes, could you help me apply to become an Ace Soldier too? I want to join you."
Qian Jie immediately replied, "No. If you go onto the battlefield and start fighting, what am I supposed to kill? Besides, you still have him." I knew Qian Jie was definitely concerned about him. He definitely was!
Angela said, "If you won't agree, then you can't go in."
Qian Jie said, "Are you threatening me?"
Angela had just been about to nod, but upon hearing Qian Jie's dangerous tone, she lost her nerve and hurriedly shook her head. "No, no. I just want things to be more convenient later."
Qian Jie had not wanted to agree, but remembering the mistakes he had made before, he ultimately nodded and accepted.
Seeing that Qian Jie had agreed, Angela happily said, "Really? You won't go back on your word, will you?"
"Do I look like I would?"
Angela sensed that Qian Jie was getting angry again and directly sent him over.
Looking at the place where Qian Jie had been standing, Angela silently prayed, "Father, I'm sorry. This is all for convenience in the future. Besides, it's a task you entrusted to me."
Qian Jie arrived in the void. He was surprised for a moment, then quickly calmed down and began searching for Huang Hao.
The void was flat and not very large, so Qian Jie soon found Huang Hao. At that moment, Huang Hao was lying on the ground, staring at the nonexistent ceiling.
Qian Jie immediately walked over and stood in front of him, then shouted from the side, "Hey! What are you doing?"
Huang Hao was startled into sitting up at once. After taking a closer look and realizing it was Qian Jie, he finally relaxed.
Huang Hao said, "Oh, it's you. Why did you come here?"
Qian Jie said, "I noticed something was off about you earlier, so I came to see whether your brain was all right."
Huang Hao said, "Thanks, but I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things."
Qian Jie said, "The things from those dreams, right?"
Huang Hao turned around in shock. "How did you know?"
Qian Jie also asked in confusion, "You didn't see me in your dream?"
Huang Hao said, "So it really was you. An'er brought you in, didn't she?"
Qian Jie said, "Yes."
Huang Hao said, "I didn't expect this to be real."
Huang Hao sat cross-legged. As he leaned backward, he supported himself with both hands and said calmly, "You know, I'm actually the same as you. I don't belong here either. I also feel that I shouldn't have come here. It's a painful thing, all because..."
Before Huang Hao could finish, Qian Jie kicked him and shouted, "Are you still being controlled by the Honkai? Wake up!"
He then followed up by crouching down, grabbing Huang Hao by the collar, and cursing, "Why do you care about so much? If something doesn't go your way, kill it! What are you hesitating and shrinking back from?"
Huang Hao instantly came to his senses. He recalled what Qian Jie had said in the dream and what he was saying now, but he remained silent.
Qian Jie stood up and turned back to Huang Hao. "Even Angela has more decisiveness than you. I really don't know what you're hesitating over. You have the ability to foresee the future, yet you don't think about changing it. Where did that spirit you had when you killed that ice monster go?"
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Huang Hao behind. Huang Hao also fell into deep thought.
Just then, Qian Jie came back.
Huang Hao said, "I understand what you said. Is there anything else?"
"How do I get out?"
"..."
