Upon hearing this, Kanzaki Teru repeated it over and over again.
"What is this?"
"I (CDFB) can't say..."
Seeing that even in this situation, Zero was still persisting, and Kanzaki Teru reluctantly put his hand down.
"Alright, since you insist on this, you must have your own reasons, but..."
He grabbed Ling Shi in a hug, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in the next moment.
-
"Where is this place?"
The room was so dark that you couldn't even see your own hand in front of your face.
Only a single candle flickered in the corner of the room, making it resemble a place used for imprisonment.
"Here, you don't need to worry about that so-called 'Eye of Heaven,' right?"
Kanzaki Teru sat opposite Zero, now that his sight had been restored.
"But......"
Even so, Ling Shi was still somewhat hesitant.
“I know what you’re worried about, but right now, only the two of us can hear this conversation.”
No third person will ever know that I will keep every word you say a secret.
Kanzaki Teru didn't even know the exact location of this place, but since they were able to get there, they must have a way to leave.
"Although I don't know what the person who instructed you said to you, did he give you any guarantees?"
I don't think so; it's just a matter of who you choose to believe.
Kanzaki Teru observed that at the time of Zero, whether in terms of thinking style or anything else, he was at most at the level of a junior high school student.
It only takes a slight shake to her beliefs to change her way of thinking.
However, Kanzaki Teru is not inclined to use this somewhat opportunistic method frequently. 5
After all, this kind of thing wasn't a good tactic for either Zero or Kanzaki Hiroshi himself.
"But..."
However, it was clear that the suggestion given to Zero was more effective; even so, a few words were not enough to easily sway his mind.
The other party must have offered substantial benefits, which is why she was so determined.
Chapter 450: The Eye of Heaven 2
"I actually know all this, but please believe me, you should have already witnessed my strength. Ordinary people can't pose any threat to me at all."
"I know your strength very well, but even so, you can't possibly defeat the [Pastry Chef]."
"Pastry Chef 852?"
Realizing that he might have said something wrong, Lingshi quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
"Who is this pastry chef you're talking about?"
Silence descended between the two, but rather than not wanting to talk about it, Zero seemed to be waiting for something.
Although she didn't know what she was waiting for, Kanzaki Teru didn't rush her.
After all, she couldn't run away, even though doing this wasn't Kanzaki Teru's intention.
But it's clear that she knows far more than the [Permanent]s do, and that's compounded by her unique abilities.
Furthermore, there was the information that came out unintentionally; Kanzaki Teru was well aware that she knew a lot of things that he didn't know.
"Didn't they come...?"
After about ten minutes of silence, Ling Shi finally let out a long breath, as if the shackles on her body had been removed.
"It seems that the Eye of Heaven is indeed unable to reach this place."
"Are you ready to believe me now?"
"No, I don't believe you, but..."
Zero's expression is much softer now than before; this is probably her true state.
"I want to believe you. And I also need to give myself more options."
Kanzaki Teru didn't rush her. After all, since Zero had already figured it out herself, it was only a matter of time before she told him what she wanted to know.
"What do you want to know?"
"The truth about this world."
"Asking such a difficult question right off the bat, but unfortunately I don't know the specifics either. After all, the only person who knows all this is probably the [Pastry Chef]."
"So who exactly is this pastry chef?"
"Pastry chefs can be considered our managers."
"Manager?"
Upon hearing this title, Kanzaki Teru suddenly recalled something he had discussed with Weber.
At that time, they considered whether there were managers in this world.
After all, only with such leaders can the world maintain its balance.
"I am actually the manager of this world, and the pastry chef is the manager who manages us."
The sudden influx of information left Kanzaki Hikaru speechless for a moment. After all, the answer he was looking for seemed to have suddenly appeared, which Kanzaki Hikaru couldn't understand for the time being.
"So what exactly is the job of this so-called manager?"
"It's about maintaining the balance of this world and preventing it from going to destruction."
This is similar to what Kanzaki Teru thought, but if that's all there is to it, it's not enough to call someone a manager.
Even so, Kanzaki Teru still couldn't clearly understand what she was trying to express.
After all, even without concrete information, Kanzaki Teru could still glean some information from simple speculation.
So overall, this kind of information still doesn't mean much to Kanzaki Teru.
"Who is that pastry chef?"
·· ···Request flowers······
"The pastry chef is in charge of coordinating us. In case of any special circumstances, we report to the pastry chef first, and then the pastry chef gives us instructions."
It is said that only she knows everything, and we are just staff members, so everything is merely to serve this world.
If we do a good job, the pastry chef will give us a piece of cake.
If a piece of cake is enough to motivate people of this caliber, then it's too cheap.
"What do you mean by 'cake'?"
........ ......... .......
"No, that's not it. It's just a cake, but this cake contains memories, memories that are crucial to us. We can obtain them by eating this cake."
That's why we all work so hard—to get a piece of the pie and to know that we exist.
When we first came into this world, we knew absolutely nothing; we didn't even know who we were.
As she spoke, tears slowly streamed down Ling Shi's face.
It would be truly terrifying to be in an unfamiliar environment and not know who you are.
Kanzaki Teru knew this all too well, having experienced something similar himself...
-
"Where is this place?"
Sitting on the weeds, Kanzaki Teru looked around. After all, he had no recollection of this place, if he really had to say something.
That only appears in one's dreams or in a painting.
For a moment, Kanzaki Teru was even a little dazed.
"Ugh, my head hurts so much. Should I stop hitting him?" Xi asked.
Chapter 451: Multiple Blows
The scene before him was both strange and somewhat familiar, and Kanzaki Teru touched his head.
I noticed some bloodstains on my head, but the blood had dried and caused my hair to become tangled, which was quite uncomfortable.
However, compared to the tangled hair, the scars on his head were what concerned Kanzaki Teru more.
After all, it's still throbbing slightly, and you can't help but ignore it even if you don't want to.
However, this was still not the most serious problem at the moment. When Kanzaki Teru tried to get up, he found a sharp pain rising from his chest.
"Damn it, are his ribs broken?!"
Feeling the pain, Kanzaki Teru couldn't hold back his emotions for a moment.
Trying to take deep breaths to ease the pain, Kanzaki Teru grabbed the vines next to him with the smallest possible movement.
Even so, Kanzaki Teru was still sweating profusely due to the pain.
"Uh-huh!"
A painful sound escaped his throat, but Kanzaki Teru still managed to grab the vine.
However, this was just the beginning. If he remained in this state, he would be completely unable to move, let alone survive or take control of the situation.
Although it is somewhat risky, it is still small compared to other risks.
In life, everything carries risks.
You might choke to death while drinking water, you might choke to death while eating, and you might be hit by a car while walking on the street.
Even sleeping at home at night could be affected by a sudden earthquake or fire.
In short, nothing is completely safe, but people will still do things even knowing there are risks involved.
