This day... finally ended.
Gu Shen left the Truth Ruler, stood on the street corner, and took a deep breath of the cold air, bracing himself.
The side effects of the Truth Ruler were almost entirely digested by him, but he still felt a bit lightheaded and unsteady as he walked.
In Jiangnan Da Du, November brought a chill after sunset.
He gathered his coat around him, too much had happened that day, the group insomnia, the Changjiu Foundation attack, the pocket watch dream... A series of events followed one after another, leaving little room to catch one's breath.
Fortunately, all of that was over now.
The evening breeze blew, music from a nearby coffee shop drifted over, passersby walked along Lipu Street, couples laughed hand in hand, children chased and played, and the white noise of the bustling crowd relaxed Gu Shen's spirit, no longer so tense.
"Dr. Xiao Gu."
Under another streetlamp, a petite and adorable girl was waving.
