Consciousness drifts away from the bustling streets, returning to silence.
The living room is dark, with only a faint city glow seeping through the windows.
Fang Cheng sits quietly on the sofa, his silhouette indistinct in the darkness.
His eyes are bright, yet unfocused, reflecting a deeper void within his pupils.
A scene witnessed through the Spiritual Link replays vividly and repeatedly in his mind.
Initially, when that woman appeared in view, Fang Cheng didn't recognize her immediately.
There was just an instinctual sense of uncanny familiarity.
The demeanor so calm it bordered on numbness, the slightly turned-in walk, and the defiant glint hidden in her eyes.
All these subtle traits acted like a key, seeking the corresponding lock within Fang Cheng's vast Memory Palace.
It wasn't until he caught a precise glimpse of the small words on the blue badge on her chest through Xiao Shuai's perspective.
