The nth time I met my puppet

Wan Nan is finally no longer restricted in her personal freedom, but to her, this does not seem to mean much.

In fact, Wan Nan has never been good at interpersonal communication. Therefore, even though she has been missing for quite a long time, few people have noticed this abnormality because there are almost no people around her who can be called friends.

The only one who was worried about her and tried his best to find her was his mentor, Tinari. Unfortunately, when he finally found Wannan, the facts he faced were completely beyond his expectations.

A moment of extroversion results in a lifetime of introversion.

As agreed, Wan Nan went to meet with Falushan. To her surprise, San Bing also came with her.

As soon as Wan Nan showed up, Falushan couldn't wait to grab her and carefully walked around her in a full circle. After confirming that Wan Nan was in good condition and even vaguely saw that she had gained a little weight than before, Falushan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That kid didn't do anything excessive to you, did he? I haven't seen you in such a long time. Tinari even told me worriedly that you might have been kidnapped or imprisoned."

Hearing this, Wan Nan, who had been relatively calm, suddenly became extremely embarrassed. His throat tightened and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."

Just such a simple sentence caused the psychological defense that Wan Nan had built up with great difficulty to collapse.

It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter! Life passes quickly anyway!

Wan Nan covered her face with her hands, her face flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Even the usually calm and composed Sanbing couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment at this moment.

Fortunately, Nashida and Tinari are both people who keep their mouths shut and would never spread these things, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Falushan, who was standing by, stared at Wannan curiously, her heart full of doubts. She really couldn't figure out what was wrong with what she had just said that would cause such a huge reaction in Wannan.

So, Falushan asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold?"

Hearing Falushan's question, Wannan quickly waved his hands and denied it: "No...nothing! I just accidentally choked on my own saliva."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at San Bing guiltily and glared at him fiercely. San Bing quickly turned his head away, pretending not to see Wan Nan's gaze.

In order to prevent Falushan from continuing to ask questions, Wannan quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, let's not talk about this. I did run into some trouble a while ago, but it's resolved now. So, don't spread those speculations about Teacher Tinari! If they get to other people's ears, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

As Wan Nan spoke, she secretly prayed in her heart that this secret could be hidden in her heart forever. After all, if this matter were to spread, it would not be a glorious thing for her.

Fortunately, up to now, it seems that only Nashida and Tinari know about this matter, and based on her understanding of them, they will definitely not reveal this secret easily.

Thinking of this, Wan Nan's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

"Okay, but you haven't been here for a while, so you probably have a lot of schoolwork behind you. Do you need help with your studies?"

Wan Nan suddenly fell silent. Normally, this was indeed the case, and she had no reason to refuse. Unfortunately, she would be leaving soon.

"No need... I won't learn it. This knowledge... won't be useful in the future."

Falushan was a little confused. She wanted to recruit Wan Nan to be her disciple because she saw that Wan Nan studied hard, but what did this mean now?

"How can this be? I remember you always studied very hard and your grades were quite good in class. Why did you suddenly stop studying?"

Farusan couldn't understand, but Wannan was also helpless. It was useless for her to learn all this knowledge about Teyvat. After all, she would leave soon, and this knowledge would be completely useless in the present world.

And she didn't even learn elemental theory, so she wouldn't be able to use it even when playing Genshin Impact.

"Sorry, Senior Falusan, I have to leave now."

There were no more words, because Wan Nan knew very well that sometimes too much explanation would only make things more complicated and confusing.

If she accidentally said something wrong, Falushan might mistakenly think she was mentally ill... So, she chose to use a simple hug to express all the unspoken emotions and reluctance in her heart.

Falushan just stood there quietly, staring at Wannan's departing back, a look of confusion and loss in her eyes.

For some reason, she had a strong premonition in her heart - after this farewell today, she might never see this little girl again.

"……goodbye."

Falushan murmured to herself in a very soft voice, although she was still confused by what was happening before her eyes and didn't quite understand what was going on.

But she still prayed silently in her heart, if fate really existed, she hoped that one day in the future they would be able to meet again.

Meanwhile, the soldiers who left with Wan Nan were unusually silent along the way, their heads lowered, as if they were deep in thought about something important.

It wasn't until the two finally returned home that Sanbing broke the silence and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Hmm...almost."

Wan Nan gave a helpless smile. This day would eventually come. They knew from the beginning that there was not much time left.

Everything had been decided, and Sanbing did not try to persuade her to stay, but just hugged her tightly.

So in the next few days, Sanbing also took a temporary leave and stayed with Wannan almost every step of the way, so that he could stay for a while longer.

Wan Nan stood quietly on the heights of Xumi City, with the silent scattered soldiers beside him. Together they gazed at the fading dusk, as if time had frozen in that moment.

The setting sun was slowly sinking to the west, emitting a soft and warm light, dyeing the entire sky into a gorgeous painting of orange, red and golden yellow.

Although looking directly at the setting sun, its light is not dazzling, but gives people a sense of tranquility and peace.

As the sun gradually sets, night begins to quietly fall. The once bright sky is gradually swallowed by darkness, and the lights in the city light up one by one, like stars dotting the night sky.

The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and ruffling the hair of Wan Nan and San Bing.

In this quiet moment, both of them felt an indescribable emotion. They knew that, just like the evening that was about to end, everything would eventually come to an end.

The decision deadline will be after midnight.

"Today is the last day to make a decision. Host, have you made your decision?"

Although 007 already knew Wan Nan's thoughts, it was still necessary to ask.

"Well, I want to go home."

"After the host is confirmed, 007 will begin the final preparations to leave this world. Because this is 007's first time completing a mission and taking the host out of this world, he needs to submit an application to the Lord God and get final approval."

The reason for this requirement is that there have been cases in the past where the system was not familiar with the operation when completing a task for the first time, and mistakenly brought the host to another world.

"Due to the different speeds of time, the host will stay here for about a week. You can choose to return to the system space to wait, or wait in the original world. In other words, after making this decision, the host can stay here for another week."

007 explained to Wan Nan that the approval process was too complicated, but this was good news for Wan Nan, although not much could be done in just one week.

"But one thing you must note is that once you submit your request to the Lord God for confirmation, there will be no possibility of changes. Once approved, 007 will take the host away from this world."

Because enough time has been given to make a decision, the decision cannot be changed after it is submitted. Only those big guys who have completed the task extremely well will have some privileges. Obviously, 007 cannot be one of them.

"So please confirm with the host one last time. Are you sure you want to leave? You can't modify it after confirmation."

Wan Nan hesitated for only a moment before nodding. She hesitated because she was reluctant to leave Sanbing, but she would not change the decision she had made.

"Yes, confirmed to leave."
