The village was quiet at night.
Chen Shu stood alone on the roof, gazing toward Master Tongzhi's burial place before sweeping his eyes over the surroundings.
The Spirit Power around him was still turbulent and unevenly distributed. Through his Spirit Eye, the night showed a riot of colors, with light everywhere. Sometimes, chaotic currents of Spirit Power reacted with one another, setting off the most primitive effects of Spirit Power.
The sight was rather beautiful.
Chen Shu leaned against the railing.
Time passed little by little.
About two hours later, footsteps sounded below.
Unknown Person seemed to have recovered. He walked slowly up to the roof, having changed out of the combat uniform he had worn during the day and into ordinary clothes. He looked like an entirely ordinary young man, except that his face was haggard and an indescribable emotion lingered in his eyes.
"I'll take over your watch..."
"You've recovered?"
"Mm..."
"It's fine. Go get some rest. It's nice and cool up here," Chen Shu said. "I can use the time to familiarize myself with my teacher's latest research."
"I can't sleep either..."
"Then let's chat, just like we do in the group."
"Okay!"
Unknown Person could not help smiling.
In the group chat, he always had plenty to say. Sometimes his replies felt a little forced, which made the others less inclined to respond to him.
He really was a little annoying, wasn't he?
Unknown Person had gradually realized it himself.
But he was not actually a chatterbox, nor was he some oily man trying to flirt with young women. Quite the opposite: he had been quiet ever since he was a child. He simply knew he had Genius Disease and wanted to talk to people more before he died.
Fortunately, there was still Greens and Cocoa.
