"You were sleeping at home all night and did not go anywhere. You've decided to go monitor Fang Helling tomorrow night, to observe if he exhibits any abnormalities..."
Jiang Wang felt himself immersed in warm ripples, the surface of the water strewn with white petals.
The gentle voice seemed to drift from the distant horizon – he was comfortable and wished to sleep forever.
In this infinitely warm world, he let down all his guards, all responsibilities, confusion, and everything else that unsettled him.
"I should listen to this voice," he thought.
Just as everything was about to end, a lotus bud began to emerge from amongst the petals on the boundless water.
It grew taller and taller until it was level with Jiang Wang's line of sight.
The lotus bloomed, and at its center stood a black candle.
Woosh~
A black flame ignited in an instant, setting the entire sea of petals ablaze!
The boundless waves of flame swept over everything.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Wang woke up.
