"So," Christos looked at Qi Ke's body, "was Qi Ke simply a persona that the 'Dancing Girl' adopted as a disguise?"
Christos actually had a favorable impression of Qi Ke, first because of Qi Ke's good reputation, and second, because her singing truly moved him; he always believed that singing was the window to the soul.
This was why he initially did not want to believe that Qi Ke was the 'Dancing Girl'.
"It's not necessarily a disguise," He Ao had already walked up to the delicate birdcage at this moment, the little bird inside unaware of what had happened around it, still chirping away in its cage.
He Ao paused, then slowly added, "People are complex."
Sometimes, the birds in the Abyss also lift their heads, yearning for the blue sky above.
He Ao slowly opened the cage door.
The canary inside looked at the open cage door, hesitated for a moment, then slowly hopped out, landing right on He Ao's fingertip.
