Boonie Bears: Another World Fantasy

“I don’t want to make things difficult for you, Miss An, after all, you were forced into this position.”

Zhao Lin seemed to have victory in her grasp, and her bold guess had been confirmed. Watching An Han's delicate face turn from blue to purple, all the unpleasantness just now was worth it.

“You could easily publish these reports and ruin my reputation, and Sunset Media would also suffer a severe blow.” She wondered about Zhao Lin’s ultimate goal. “Why did you have to use this interview opportunity to deliberately reveal these things to me?”

"Miss An, do you want to seize the moment?" Even though they had already completely broken off relations, Zhao Lin was still using polite terms of address.

An Han remained silent. From beginning to end, Zhao Lin's tactic was nothing more than deliberately using one riddle after another to trap herself layer by layer.

"You're the only one in your family with inheritance rights, aren't you..."

These words were like the Grim Reaper, leaving An Han terribly silent.

She remembered what her father had said before:

“There are countless people who want to sit in the position of chairman of Sunset Group, An Han. They are completely capable of using any means necessary. You must be careful in everything you do…”

Her dark past constantly reminded her that she could not let her guard down. Like a dancer under the spotlight, she had to balance her own safety with the watchful eyes of others.

"You know a lot, Reporter Zhao." An Han crossed her arms. "What you say makes a lot of sense, but I never need anyone to remind me of my own affairs."

An Han had lost her patience and didn't want to waste any more time with her, so she got up and walked towards the door.

"An Han!" Zhao Lin suddenly stood up from her seat.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch Deep City march towards destruction? Purple Star will bring disaster here, and Sunset is secretly creating it. 'L-Sun' is just the beginning, and you are the only one who can stop it!" she shouted excitedly. "Put aside your arrogance, we can make Deep City a better place!"

"..." Her outstretched hand hovered above the doorknob.

Zhao Lin's righteous words made An Han hesitate. The girl wavered and even forgot that she was not on good terms with the meddlesome reporter in front of her.

Why did she do this? Why did she have to go this far?

They were even willing to set aside their pride and take the initiative to seek reconciliation with me...

“I originally wanted to blackmail you, but Peng Fei mentioned you to me several times, saying that you are also a girl full of love in your heart—” Zhao Lin’s eyes were full of light.

Yeah......

When Peng Fei was mentioned, she tried to clear her throat, but no sound came out.

But that kind, tearful, and sentimental An Han had already died in the dark sewers.

The confused look in his eyes turned resolute.

"I...can't control all that..."

An Han's tone was no longer sharp. A sense of powerlessness filled her heart; half of her body was submerged in darkness, and she had already made her choice.

"You're right, I'm just a spokesperson for Sunset, a decorative vase. I know nothing about the company's operation and management..." The girl's tone gradually hardened.

"The reason I insisted on taking over Sunset was because it was the result of Anjia's decades of hard work, and I didn't want to see it vanish overnight."

"I've held on until now just for the sake of keeping my breath."

She turned around and gave Zhao Lin a complicated look.

The latter wore a helpless expression.

Then, An Han changed her heavy tone and, as she pushed open the door, said lightly:

"Reporter Zhao, we will meet again."

In Zhao Lin's eyes, only her firm back remained.

......

just now.

In the evening, Zhao Lin lay in her hotel room, wrapped in a white towel after taking a shower. Her whole body exuded a captivating fragrance, and her black hair cascaded down the pristine white sheets like a waterfall.

Bored, she was about to review every single moment of her "confrontation" with An Han to see if there were any oversights or carelessness.

This took me a little time.

An Han didn't directly refuse him, and she even said "we'll meet again" at the end. Does this mean she'll help him?

Unfortunately, the investigation into Zi Xing will likely have to be put on hold for a while. She booked a flight for 12 o'clock tomorrow, to fly to her hometown, which she hasn't returned to in a long time.

I haven't been back for so long, I wonder if Brother Qiang still recognizes me?

Zhao Lin felt happy every time she thought of this.

After stretching dramatically, drowsiness gradually enveloped her.

"Muttering—"

The laptop on the table beeped as it received an email. Without a second thought, Zhao Lin jumped out of bed and squinted at the screen.

It was an electronic document sent by an anonymous sender.

What kind of time is this to still have people using outdated email?

Zhao Lin was curious about the anonymous person's strange behavior and also opened the "packaged" electronic document.

The moment it opened, meticulously formatted text and images filled the entire screen. The attached videos were also carefully titled.

First paragraph of the document:

I know you're investigating things related to "L-day", but why not take a look at my findings first?

Zhao Lin frowned and clicked on the first video.

In the shaky footage, everything was pitch black, except for a barely discernible white forest. It seemed to be a recording unintentionally made by some hikers. In the distance, a giant white bear lay in the center, its head adorned with curved antlers. Its entire body emitted a faint blue light, which, in an instant, illuminated the entire forest.

Suddenly, shouts could be heard from the screen.

The giant bear's body gradually disappeared, replaced by a slender human body.

"What?"

Zhao Lin couldn't help but pause and zoom in, the image freezing on the protruding antlers on her forehead.

She vaguely remembered seeing this giant bear when she was a child...

A naked girl, transformed from the body of a giant bear, floated on the snow. Then, a pair of triangular wings of light sprouted from her snow-white back, and her silver-white hair was also imbued with divinity, floating up and down with her.

The girl looked up, facing the night sky.

The next second, she transformed into a dazzling meteor, bursting forth with blinding light, and shot into the sky at an incredible speed.

The video, less than a minute long, plunged Zhao Lin into memories of the past.

The name of this video is:

"Is she the goddess of White Bear Mountain?"

Realizing the importance of this document, Zhao Lin stroked her chin, her eyes becoming more serious.

Move the mouse over the next video. Its name is:

"The last of the Deer Clan?"

It's still a video recording, only this time it's set in a much larger forest.

The camera was rapidly capturing the figure leaping through the trees. Zhao Lin quickly discerned the race she represented by her distinctive attire.

A shawl, a white coarse cloth shirt, a ribbon tied around the forehead...

But the Deer Clan has long since disappeared.

At least that's what the book says.

The lithe figure stopped on a tall tree and glanced back at the camera. As the camera zoomed in, the inverted triangle deer-like markings on her face became clearly visible to Zhao Lin.

A high nose bridge, clear brown eyes, and extraordinary skills.

She drew her longbow, and the incoming arrow struck the camera lens hard.

The video also went completely black...

The third video:

"Mecha Kitten?"

In the action recorder, soldiers holding guns were unleashing a hail of bullets at an object that was moving rapidly, leaving afterimages. The black animal, which resembled neither a cat nor an animal, was covered in an armor-like shell and had a green tail, weaving through the middle of them.

Bullets are completely ineffective against it.

……

Fourth video:

"Heavenly Fire".

"This is Zhenxing Island. I am Dr. Su Luo from the Robotics Institute."

The young girl had a distinctive short haircut. She pushed up her glasses and zoomed in on the wreckage of a robot that was hundreds of meters tall behind her.

"We are in the mid-to-late stages of the fire repair work—"

The wreckage was hung on a steel support at the same height as it, and sparks from the damaged parts of the robot kept falling down.

"Now we're going to try to start it. If it succeeds, it will be a giant leap forward for humanity..." Su Luo said excitedly, watching the wreckage behind him with great anticipation.

The robot's enormous single eye flashed, unleashing a beam with a diameter of over ten meters that sliced ​​through the laboratory's protective wall in two.

"Doctor, there's a problem!" someone shouted.

She was seen cursing something before reluctantly turning off the camera.

……

What are your thoughts after seeing this?

The anonymous person seemed to be conversing with her directly through the screen, accurately predicting Zhao Lin's current inner thoughts. Indeed, seeing so many unbelievable things at once, Zhao Lin couldn't help but doubt the identity of this anonymous person.

At the end of the document, a photo that was all too familiar to me was prominently displayed.

That was a photo of Zhao Lin and Peng Fei taken during their exploration in the Western Regions.

But the photograph's expressive power is limited; it cannot capture the azure eyes of Peng Fei standing to her right, eyes as blue as the sea. A mix of emotions—affection, pride, and loss—rushed into her heart, overwhelming her. Because the sandstorm had just passed, their expressions in the photo were quite stiff. But at that moment, their hearts were filled with joy; it was a moment of victory, and they were celebrating amidst the chaos.

The document ends with only one sentence.

“I hope that one day you can tell me your story, Zhao Lin.”
