Chapter 628 Crossing the Line

Chapter 628: Crossing the Boundary

Seeing that the topic had been "successfully" shifted, Su Bai quickly filled him in on the Nightmare Building and the story of the brother and sister, A Xiang and A Jiao.

Although the situation in the Nightmare Spiral Building was getting worse, Su Bai and Wu Hang still had plenty of ways to fix things there. But since this matter first involved the "Dream Builder" and later dragged in the Vampire Remnants, Su Bai decided to get more input from his big brother and old friends.

For Su Bai, this was actually kind of a new experience.

In his previous life, he only had the Puzzle Pieces as company, with no old friends to worry about, and the days just went by, one after another, year after year.

But now, even when dealing with things like Eerie Entities, he'd subconsciously start thinking about his brother and old friends' feelings—it was indeed a fresh experience.

"I remember that building," Su Xuan said thoughtfully. "Back then, I happened to run into some out-of-control vampires on the street, so I just casually locked them up in that building."

"To be honest, I don't have any saintly sympathy for the Mermaid Remnants either, but seeing those raving lunatics reminded me of my own family who died from madness." Su Xuan shook his head. "At the time, I just thought that given enough time, they might regain their sanity, and then they could naturally break the building's restrictions on their own."

"I never thought their condition would get even worse." Su Xuan instinctively looked up at the sky over "Honghuai City," where there was no red moon, just the fake sun rising.

"Maybe for the Red Moon Association, the red moon means continuation, but... is that really a good thing?"

After muttering to himself like he was talking to no one, Su Xuan said seriously to Su Bai: "As for the Nightmare Spiral Building, whether you tear it down or blow it up, it's your call. The most important thing is to keep yourself safe."

"It'll be fine," Wu Hang said confidently from the side.

"But you just said, the last—"

"It'll absolutely be fine," Wu Hang cut in, even more firmly.

"Alright." Su Xuan seemed to see resolve in Wu Hang's eyes, but couldn't help but ask, "Actually, the safest thing would be to keep Xiao Bai in Wushan, right? That way, no matter what we do—"

"No—"

"That kind of arrangement wouldn't make him happy."

Just as Su Bai started to object, he heard Wu Hang's voice. Though it sounded a bit young now, it still had that reassuring strength, like always.

"Besides, Wushan's always been here."

Wushan's always been here?

Hearing that, Su Bai looked at Wu Hang in slight surprise, and Wu Hang's look at him was unusually soft. Without realizing it, he'd heard a lot about Wushan, but the Puzzle Pieces about it were still fragmented and hazy.

Why?

Why would Wu Hang say that Wushan has always been here?

"Ah—" Su Xuan watched his brother and... that guy, exchanging looks, sighed, and tried his hardest to put on a fierce, mean look as he stared at Wu Hang. "Protect him, or I'll... I'll take you down with me!"

"That won't happen." Facing his "brother-in-law," Wu Hang's tone wasn't as harsh. "The Director should be visiting this city soon. I'll leave the rest to you."

"You don't need to tell me that." Su Xuan glanced at his precious brother again, waved his hand helplessly, and a wooden door appeared beside Su Bai and the others.

Su Xuan nagged and reminded Su Bai for a good while longer before finally letting Wu Hang take his adorable brother out of "Honghuai City," leaving himself alone in the "empty" city. He looked around, took a deep breath—

"Time to get to work."

After Su Bai and Wu Hang left "Honghuai City," they returned to the dormitory on the 44th floor of the Nightmare Spiral Building.

"Chi Liu..."

Su Bai had just started to ask about contacting Chi Liu when a figure a head taller than him suddenly wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him into an embrace.

Knowing that Wu Hang had returned to his previous shell, Su Bai wasn't startled.

But just as he slightly tilted his head up to look at Wu Hang in confusion, before he could speak, the other's cold lips suddenly pressed down on his.

No warning, no extra explanation.

Wu Hang's kiss landed decisively and directly, almost instantly swallowing Su Bai's unspoken words.

This made Su Bai's eyes widen.

He knew clearly that this kiss was different from the last—there was no transmission of red moon power between them, no other reason driving it, just a simple... kiss.

At first, Wu Hang's movements carried a hint of restrained suppression, but soon the kiss deepened, as if confirming something, or declaring something.

Su Bai trembled slightly, his eyelashes fluttering, but he didn't push away. Instead, after a brief hesitation, he closed his eyes.

His originally stiff shoulders relaxed quietly, and he leaned into Wu Hang's embrace.

He made no sound, offered no resistance, only felt the arms around his waist holding him tightly, yet cautiously.

Wu Hang's kiss grew deeper, carrying a hint of undeniable emotion, as if he had finally crossed some unspeakable boundary.

And Su Bai gradually sank into it.
