Chapter 594: Still Terrifying
As Lin Feng spoke, he was thinking to himself. All the things about Ba Che kept coming up in his mind like a revolving lantern.
Hearing Lin Feng say this, Kong's originally hanging heart not only did not let go, but became even heavier. He already has the strength of a demon god, does it matter whether his status has reached that level? Kong's eyes were full of despair, as if he saw the difficult challenges that were about to come. Kong knew very well how terrifying the power of a demon god was, and the disaster that Osel had caused was still vivid in his mind.
At that time, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and the waves surged like towering mountains, and the entire coast of Liyue fell into chaos. If it weren't for the intervention of the Rock God, the entire Liyue Port might have been doomed. Now, a Ba Che with strength close to that of a demon god has emerged, and the future of Liyue seems to be shrouded in a haze. Kong seemed to see a more terrible disaster approaching. Without the gods, Liyue Port was like a fragile ant in the face of this storm, and could be crushed at any time.
Seeing the despair in Kong's eyes, Lin Feng patted his shoulder helplessly and comforted him: "Status is a great thing. The higher the status, the more conveniences you can enjoy in this world. Don't worry too much. Her status has not reached the level of a demon god, which means that she only has a vast elemental force. And every time her power is used, it is lost, so the victory of the war will definitely belong to Liyue. We can just fish in the water on the sidelines." Lin Feng tried to make his tone sound more relaxed, trying to ease Kong's anxiety. Of course, this was only temporary comfort, and Ba Che's threat could not be easily eliminated.
Even though Ba Che's status is not as high as that of a demon god, his strength close to that of a demon god is enough to bring great trouble to Liyue. The saying that every bit of strength you use is only relative. No one knows how much strength Ba Che has stored and how much he can exert in battle. When he said that the two of them were "fishing and paddling" on the side, he just wanted Kong to relax his tense nerves a little.
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Kong felt something was wrong. After Lin Feng finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. He secretly complained in his heart and couldn't help but say the matter of the person... His mouth was really unreliable! Lin Feng was very upset. He knew that the concept of "person" was a relatively secret knowledge in this world. He was afraid that his negligence would cause more doubts to Kong.
After all, the concept of personhood is considered a taboo, and only a few people who have made in-depth studies of ancient knowledge may know something about it.
Lin Feng was worried that his slip of the tongue would cause Kong unnecessary confusion, and was also afraid that it would cause a series of unpredictable problems.
"Hehe, that... these are all nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Just forget about it when you wake up tomorrow morning." Seeing Kong's suspicious eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help feeling weak and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Kong's suspicious eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Lin Feng's heart. He could feel that Kong was full of curiosity and doubt about the word "personality", but he could not immediately give a reasonable explanation. This guilty feeling made him restless, and he could only hope that Kong would not pursue it any further.
"It's okay. Thank you for clearing up my doubts. Don't worry, I won't ask too many questions. Just like you never ask too many questions about my secrets." Listening to Kong's words, Lin Feng felt a little familiar. Wasn't this what Dainsleb said when he was chasing the Abyss Apostle some time ago? However, this sentence is just right here. "Well, the time has not come yet. When the time comes, I will tell you everything I know." Lin Feng quickly responded to Kong's words, hoping to stop the topic.
Kong's words comforted Lin Feng, but he also felt a little guilty. He knew that Kong chose to believe him, and he did not continue to ask questions even though he had doubts in his heart. However, he might have caused trouble to Kong because of his momentary negligence. He secretly made up his mind to be more cautious in the future and not make such a mistake again.
Seeing Lin Feng say this, Kong also smiled and said nothing. In his heart, it didn't matter. As long as Lin Feng didn't have any intention of harming him, it was fine. Between friends, more trust is always good.
Kong smiled with a hint of relief. He didn't want to destroy the friendship and trust between him and Lin Feng because of this sudden topic. In his opinion, the tacit understanding and trust between friends are far more important than temporary doubts. He believed that Lin Feng had his own considerations, and when the time was right, everything would come to light.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed." After thinking this through, Kong patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, then walked out and closed the door.
The silence in the room seemed to have an invisible pressure, which made Lin Feng a little breathless. He sat on the bed, repeatedly thinking about the conversation with Kong just now, and constantly blaming himself for his recklessness.
After Kong left, Lin Feng lay on the bed with a look of despair on his face, feeling very upset. What on earth is going on? If the matter of status had not been accidentally let slip, I'm afraid I would have revealed all my secrets. Thinking of this, Lin Feng was alert. Could it be that this was the male protagonist's aura of reduced intelligence? No, no, how could it be possible? This is not a fantasy novel, where does the aura of reduced intelligence come from? Besides, even if there is, it shouldn't be reflected on me, I am a good friend of the male protagonist. Lin Feng joked to himself in his heart, trying to relieve his nervousness.
After thinking for a while, Lin Feng was too lazy to think about it any further. There was nothing he could do. It was just like the saying goes. The more he thought about it, the more tired he felt. "Lin Feng, Lin Feng, come on..." After saying this self-encouragement, Lin Feng closed his eyes and dozed off. At his current level, sleeping or not sleeping didn't make much of a difference, unless he was seriously injured and needed to sleep for a while to recuperate. His consciousness gradually relaxed, letting his thoughts drift between half asleep and half awake.
Time soon came to the next morning. Because the results of the competition were to be announced, the four of them got up early. The morning sun gently sprinkled on the streets and alleys of Liyue Port, covering this prosperous place with a layer of golden gauze.
The morning in Liyue Harbor is full of life and energy. The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves onto the ground, forming patches of golden light.
After the four of them had a quick breakfast at a snack stand in Liyue Harbor, they headed directly towards the construction site. Along the way, they felt the vitality and energy of Liyue Harbor, and as they looked at the familiar scenes, their mood gradually became relaxed.
