On a deserted street, two figures sat side by side.
The dim light from the streetlamp illuminated them, casting two long shadows behind them.
In the girl's hand was a Rubik's Cube, which she was diligently trying to solve.
Beside her sat a girl who appeared calm and indifferent, as if nothing in this world could ever disturb her serene expression.
Then, amidst the silence, the girl beside her suddenly spoke up.
"Snow Sister, you've actually recovered, right?"
The girl continued fiddling with her Rubik's Cube, not lifting her head as she spoke.
It was as if she were talking to the air.
"Ever since the evolution ended, you've regained your old memories. The reason you still act dazed and silly is just to fool Dad... am I right?"
Hearing her name called, the girl paused for a moment and instinctively looked down at Shishi, appearing somewhat confused about what the girl meant.
Shishi pouted and kept playing with the cube in her hands.
"Stop pretending. Dad hasn't noticed, but I've been with you all along; I figured it out a long time ago."
"You do a good job of hiding it most of the time, but every time you sneak a glance at Dad from behind, that look in your eyes isn’t something the old you would have."
"You continue to pretend to have amnesia simply because you're afraid that Dad will distance himself from you once he knows you've returned to normal... right?"
"After all, Dad isn't one of those fickle, unfaithful men. With a girlfriend already, other girls trying to get close to him for his affection are only doing so in desperate situations, like this Yumo Sha sister who's on the verge of death..."
"So you want to keep playing dumb to stay by his side... am I right?"
After finishing her words, the girl stopped talking nonsense and continued fiddling with her Rubik's Cube.
The girl beside her fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter.
She reached out and playfully ruffled the girl's hair, turning it into a messy tangle, laughing helplessly.
"Little Ghosts, you really can't hide anything from you."
The girl pouted, feeling no pride in the compliment from Xue.
"That's just because you've always been on guard against Dad and never paid attention to me. So you inadvertently let me discover your flaw. If you were as cautious with me as you are with Dad, I probably wouldn't have noticed."
"Hehe... don't be so lacking in confidence. Shishi, you're still very smart."
The girl laughed as she continued to mess up the girl's hair, seemingly trying to retaliate for having her secret uncovered.
"At your age, understanding so much is already impressive."
In the midst of Snow's compliments, Shishi continued to pout.
"Are you saying I'm a father-loving pervert, not at all like a well-behaved and innocent girl my age?"
Snow laughed and quickly denied it.
"How could that be? Shishi is so cute and beautiful; who would dare call you a pervert? Besides, isn't it normal for a daughter to want to marry her father?"
Shishi rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Snow Sister, you really aren't being straightforward at all. No wonder you missed that great opportunity to have your dad as your boyfriend. Liking someone is liking them; being a pervert is being a pervert. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"I like Dad. I'm a father-loving pervert, and I want to marry him... Is there something wrong with that?"
"With the way you're hesitating and worrying about this and that, I'm afraid Dad will never like you in this lifetime."
"If you like him, you should say it out loud so he knows your thoughts and feelings. As for what others think... does it really matter?"
"Just like me, if anyone asks, I will proudly tell them I love my dad and want to marry him. Whether Dad is married or has a girlfriend is none of my business... right? His girlfriend isn't my girlfriend."
The girl spoke confidently, but Snow could only smile wryly and shake her head.
"It's not that easy for you. If it comes out, the senior will definitely distance himself from me and stop talking to me."
"If he distances himself from you, then cling to him tightly and give him no chance to push you away! Besides, he only distances himself because he has a girlfriend. But if his girlfriend finds out about this and gets jealous, leading to a fight between them that ends in a breakup... who do you think would benefit from this situation? Would you suffer any loss?"
Xue looked at the girl in front of her, speechless.
"Who taught you all these things?"
After a moment of thought, she shook her head. "I really shouldn't let children watch those romance stories; they spoil the students... Although Senior is great at everything he does, he's quite slow when it comes to educating children."
Shishi raised her head and glanced at her. "Even if I don't understand these things now, I will definitely figure them out later. Is there really a difference between knowing early and knowing late?"
At that moment, Xue suddenly sensed something and quickly restrained her expression, returning to her previous cold and indifferent demeanor.
A few seconds later, Chu Donglin's figure emerged from the darkness behind them.
"Get ready; we are leaving."
Chu Donglin had some red stains on him, as if he had just walked out of a murder scene.
However, neither Xue nor Shishi showed any surprise at his killer-like appearance.
They stood up, and Shishi looked at Chu Donglin.
"Dad, are we leaving this base?"
"Yes."
"But..."
The girl stole a glance at him and asked softly, "Aren't you going to take revenge for that sister?"
Chu Donglin paused for a moment, instinctively looking towards Snow.
Shishi quickly stepped in to ease the tension. "I asked Snow Sister to show me. When she saw you walking so closely with a girl, she was just a bit curious... Dad, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Chu Donglin shook his head and said, "Eavesdropping on others is ultimately not a polite thing to do. You shouldn't let Snow use the Death God's Eye to spy on others casually in the future."
Then he turned his gaze toward a certain direction under the night sky, his expression turning cold.
"As for taking revenge for Sasha, that is certainly necessary. Before we leave, we must do something. However, these small fries don't require my effort; they already fled when Sasha chose to give up. The real targets are those two hiding in the shadows."
"The remnants of Cthulhu's followers, Hydra and Dagon!" (To be continued...)
