Chapter 1143

Xiao Han's words were ambiguous, but Ning Chen understood them clearly.

Because of his disappointment in this world, there was the Xiao Han wrapped in violence and evil to protect himself from harm.

Because he did not want to lose himself, and because he still held a tiny shred of hope for this world, there was the Xiao Han who treated everything with gentleness.

So, this person named Xiao Han is inherently very gentle.

Ning Chen spoke no more; their voices rose and fell in the night, and the light emanating from the lake outside was beautiful, truly beautiful.

"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Xiao Han suddenly spoke up.

Ning Chen did not reply but stood up directly, using his action to convey his answer to the other.

Xiao Han paused for a moment, then smiled, rose to his feet, and followed Ning Chen down from the RV.

The moon tonight was beautiful, so beautiful it seemed almost unbelievable; white and crystal clear, like a great gemstone inlaid in the sky.

"Ning Chen, I hope that one day you will have the chance to come and see my world." Facing Ning Chen, Xiao Han's words drifted into Ning Chen's ears on the breeze.

"Why?"

"Because, I believe you can make this world different." Pausing briefly, Xiao Han continued, "And besides, I also want you to help me clear my name."

Xiao Han spoke these words very softly, yet Ning Chen still heard them.

For Xiao Han, this matter was like a nightmare; unless resolved, he would forever live within this nightmare, trembling with fear every day.

Ning Chen looked toward the center of the lake and slowly spoke, "Very well, I promise you: if I can enter your world, I will certainly help you uncover the truth."

"Thank you."

Ning Chen gazed into the distance, enjoying the comfort brought by the environment here and the freshness of the air.

After tomorrow, I suppose, one will no longer feel this kind of pleasant sensation.

Suddenly, Ning Chen sensed a sharp wind striking; his eyes filled with alertness, and he instantly dodged the other's attack.

He saw green light emanating from Xiao Han's hands; it was obvious that the recent attack had been made by him.

Xiao Han did not explain the meaning behind his actions but continued to attack, strike after strike.

And Ning Chen dodged Xiao Han's attacks.

The two exchanged blows, with neither gaining the upper hand.

It was just a pity that Xiao Han's main ability was healing; his offensive power was not as formidable as Ning Chen's.

After Ning Chen broke through the shield Xiao Han had formed from plants, the blade he had manifested with his ability was already pressed against Ning Chen's neck.

"Not bad; you are indeed very formidable," Xiao Han said with a smile.

Ning Chen withdrew his hand; he knew that Xiao Han did not intend to kill him but had only come to spar with him.

The two returned to the RV; after a bout of exertion, their bodies felt extremely comfortable, and a faint drowsiness washed over them.

Tomorrow, Ning Chen planned to interrogate Lin Yi and Huo Jinglin about their state of sleep last night, to see if they retained any memories.
