Although exhausted, I suddenly felt a sense of clarity, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon, and my heart was very clear.

We climbed a long, steep slope, and in the process, we passed through an extremely dark area. In the darkness, only a little green light reminded us that we were still in the passage, and I vaguely felt some kind of sound coming from a very distant place behind us, which made me tremble with fear.

I once suspected that the woman had fully recovered and caught up, and I also felt that it might be the asexual army in the terrifying plaza where the water tower was located that had collectively resurrected to eliminate us as intruders.

After a long time, the steep slope ended, and the road in front of us finally became flat.

We took a break, panting, and after regaining some strength, we set off again.

Seeing that I didn't have any excessive behavior along the way, Fatty relaxed his vigilance a little, and slowly lowered the hunting knife in his hand.

"Fatty, do you remember when the four of us first met, when we hid in the home of the forest ranger in the deep mountains to escape the pursuit of the Z organization?" Seeing that Fatty's attitude had eased slightly, I took the initiative to communicate.

Fatty couldn't help but fall into memories.

I continued, "Back then, you, me, Rou Yi, and Han Yu, the four of us were newcomers, ignorant and inexperienced, dealing with the Z organization. I was like a little follower, following behind you. At that time, I had a heavy mental burden, and I was timid. After all, I was also a millionaire at the time, and suddenly one day I started running away, and I was psychologically unaccustomed."

Fatty became interested in my memories: "Yeah, back then, you were afraid to kill a chicken when I asked you to, and you weren't efficient at work, so I gave you the nickname 'Young Master'."

That time was indeed a beautiful memory.

This tortuous experience, from our accidental involvement in our parents' affairs, to being hunted down by the Z organization, to actively searching for clues about the meteorite, intending to unravel the answers behind it all and end it all.

We grew a lot, and we also lost a lot.

Looking back, since the day I decided to sacrifice myself in that strange underground palace in the Himalayas, Fatty, Rou Yi, and Han Yu have been running around for me for a long time afterward. Oceans, deserts, rainforests, and then Kunlun, they have done enough for me.

And I have changed. I have changed from someone who didn't even dare to kill a chicken into a "devil" who kills without blinking an eye. Although I kill people to survive, killing is killing, and there is nothing to argue about.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Fatty, when this is all over, you can return to normal life. There will be no more meteorite disturbances, and no more Z organization bothering you."

Fatty was silent, saying nothing.

We continued to walk in this dark and deep passage corridor, until the extremely bright light appeared. I looked back at Fatty, Rou Yi, and Jennifer.

My action aroused Fatty's vigilance, and his hand was on the hunting knife, ready to strike at any time.

"Don't be nervous, Fatty." I immediately explained, "I think the front should be where the meteorite is located. Although you still don't believe me, it doesn't matter. Protect yourselves. Actually, there is something I have been hiding from you."

Speaking of this, I paused.

When Fatty heard that I was hiding something from him, he suddenly became nervous and excited, frowning, and his guard was raised again.

"Actually, I know how to solve the meteorite problem. I didn't tell you, just because I was afraid you would worry. You don't have to worry about me then. I can handle it myself. When I finish dealing with the meteorite problem, it is estimated that the power of Xianshan will disappear, and those demons and ghosts will be cleared away together, but escaping from here will depend on you."

I said these words with a wry smile, feeling like I was saying my last words.

After I finished speaking, I felt that the vigilant expressions on Fatty's, Rou Yi's, and Jennifer's faces disappeared, replaced by an ambiguous, sad, and tired look.

"Are you going to sacrifice yourself again?" Rou Yi said with tears in her eyes.

Rou Yi no longer cares about whether my identity is true or false. She cares more about my whereabouts and my life and death.

I smiled and didn't answer her, but turned around and resolutely walked into the light.

At that time, when I was with Rou Yi in her home, I always had the idea of being with her. Love between a man and a woman, who wouldn't want that?

But I knew that I couldn't give her a future.

Solving the meteorite problem is key to me, so if I am greedy for life, the meteorite will always exist, and humanity will never have peace.

Passing through the last section of the passage corridor, we crossed the dividing line between darkness and light, and came to this radiant space.

The environment suddenly changed from dark to bright, and our eyes were unable to adapt to the light here for a while, so we could only slowly close our eyes and wait for the field of vision to adjust.
