Neil struggled to step out onto the observation deck, feeling as if he had been overturned by an invisible wave, instantly losing all strength from head to toe. His stomach churned, as if a fire was burning inside, making him almost unable to resist the urge to vomit. The transition from a state of concentrated observation at a height to the real world always made him feel uncomfortable, as if he had suddenly been thrown from water into the air.
Erin seemed to have anticipated this, quickly stepping to his side. Her arm, as if made of steel, firmly rested on his shoulder, making him feel like he had a little support.
"Take a deep breath, inhale to the bottom of your lungs, and then slowly exhale." Erin's voice was calm and steady, like a gentle lullaby.
Neil tried to follow her instructions, taking a deep breath and feeling the pressure in his chest slightly ease. He inhaled again, even deeper this time, and then slowly exhaled, feeling his heartbeat gradually return to a normal rhythm.
He looked up at Erin, the seasoned observer who always exuded a comforting atmosphere. There seemed to be a barely perceptible hint of admiration in her eyes, which made Neil feel a warm sensation.
"You're doing quite well, Neil. Observation is not just a technical process; it's more like an art. Especially when you need to observe to this level of detail, it's a challenge." Erin's words seemed to carry a deeper meaning. "But this is just the beginning. To truly become an excellent observer, you'll need to undergo more simulated tests and real-life exercises."
Neil deeply felt that Erin's words were filled with teachings and expectations, which made him more firm in his beliefs and goals.
"You need to rest well and recover your energy. Observing may seem simple, but it actually consumes a lot of mental and psychological energy. Both the body and the mind need time to adapt and recover." Erin gave him a sincere advice.
"Thank you, Erin. Neil was deeply moved, knowing how fortunate he was to have such a seasoned, wise, and compassionate mentor like Erin by his side. He realized that this support and guidance would be his most valuable resource in this journey filled with unknowns and challenges.
Neil turned towards the rest area, and with each step, it felt like he was walking towards a new future, one filled with more possibilities and challenges. His heart was full of anticipation and nervousness, but more than anything, an indescribable excitement and confidence."
He knew this was just the beginning, but he also understood that every great journey begins with such a simple first step.
Neil pushed open the door of his home, exhaustion evident. The entire apartment was filled with the unique high-tech environment of The organization of the Eyes of the Philosopher., but for him, the most important thing now was just a bed. He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the cold water splash on his face. His weary eyes were almost immediately a little more awake.
However, physical and mental fatigue is not so easily eliminated. He walked out of the bathroom and collapsed onto the bed. The sheets were cool, causing him to let out a comfortable sigh. He slowly closed his eyes, and before long, his consciousness began to blur, eventually falling into a dreamland.
However, this dream was anything but peaceful.
Once he entered the dream, he found himself standing in that dazzling virtual world. Unlike during the day, this world was filled with an unfathomable sense of reality. Every leaf, every gust of wind, and even every drop of water gave him a profound sense of reality.
At that moment, a heart-wrenching wail echoed in the air. Neil turned around and saw the dying life form he had encountered during today's observation process. This time, its wail continued incessantly, as if seeking redemption.
In the midst of his dream, Neil suddenly found a cup of clear water in his hand. The water was crystal clear, shining like a dazzling gem. He knew that this cup of water had the power to bring new life to the dying creature.
But at that moment, Erin's teaching on ethical observation - non-interference - emerged in his mind. These simple two words made him stop his actions abruptly, feeling a tremendous pressure on his shoulders.
The cup of water in his hand grew heavier, as if it were filled with all of his moral and ethical confusion. The wail of life grew weaker and weaker, until it seemed to be carried away by the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Neil suddenly sat up, tears falling from the corners of his eyes onto the bedsheet, staining the pure white fabric. He struggled to regulate his breathing, attempting to calm himself down. The dream had vanished, but the pain and confusion remained in his heart.
He is not the first time to encounter such a dilemma, nor will it be the last. But he knows that each choice will bring him closer to the qualities a truly excellent observer should have. Such dreams, such choices, will be part of his long-term journey in the future.
Neil took a deep breath and wrapped himself in the sheet again. He knew that tomorrow would be another day full of challenges and choices, but no matter what he would encounter, he was prepared.
However, in the following days of simulation tests, he quickly realized that he had been too full of himself. He came to understand that significant turning points in the universe do not just begin with a great war, but also with family, love, and friendship, all of which can be important moments of change. Neil was guided to different occasions and situations, where he saw anger, disappointment, despair, as well as love, joy, and hope. But each scene and moment cut into his heart like a knife.
