When Fang Li’s words fell, an indescribable atmosphere of silence began to envelop them.
Sylvia lowered her head, her thoughts a mystery, but the grip of her hand, intertwined with Fang Li’s, tightened slightly. It was evident that she was not at peace within.
Fang Li remained silent, only reciprocating Sylvia’s grip as if reassuring her not to bear any burdens. His grasp grew firmer in response to hers.
After a while, Sylvia sighed.
“It seems like you’re not joking,” Sylvia remarked before immediately adding, “Even though I don’t understand what’s going on, it’s alright. If it has to be this way, I’ll go along with it.”
“Go along with it?” Fang Li hesitated and said, “What do you mean?”
“What do you think I mean?” Sylvia looked at Fang Li’s hesitant expression, her charming face displaying a mischievous smile. She murmured, “Even though going from a confession to a proposal all of a sudden is a bit…”
“A proposal?” Fang Li was stunned.
“Could it be not?” Sylvia glanced at Fang Li, her tone half-smiling, “I’m even willing to come with you. So, isn’t this practically a proposal?”
‘Who was proposing to whom in this situation?’ Fang Li didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.
So, he could only say helplessly, “I mean, it might not be as beautiful as you imagine. The place I’m planning to go could very well be hell for you.”
“Hell?” Sylvia’s smile faded, and she said somewhat ironically, “Do you think this place is heaven?”
Fang Li found himself somewhat speechless at Sylvia’s words.
She wasn’t entirely wrong.
This place, or even this world, was far from heaven. In the Redevelopment District, there were various criminals who had once planned to capture Genestellars like Fang Li and Sylvia for sale as human test subjects.
Then there were entities like Laminamors and Valda, constantly operating in the shadows, eyeing everyone suspiciously.
In this world where the national system had weakened, and the Integrated Enterprise Foundation controlled the world’s reality, everything had become twisted.
To maintain wealth disparities and stabilize the economic lifeline, the Integrated Enterprise Foundation deliberately created poverty, even turning border countries into battlefields.
For profit, the Integrated Enterprise Foundation hosted the Festa, using wishes as bait to lure people with various desires to this city, turning them into tools to please everyone. Once someone became a victor, they were willing to fulfill any dark desire.
So, in reality, this world was even more twisted than hell.
At least, hell would end someone’s life instantly.
In this world, it slowly drained the life out of everyone, pushing most people into a slow-motion death trap.
So, which was better in comparison?
Sylvia was the world’s number one Diva.
For this reason, this young girl who loved freedom and singing must have seen her share of darkness.
“If it means breaking free from this situation, even if it’s hell, I’d love to give it a try,” Sylvia said with a light chuckle. “After all, I’m someone who doesn’t like to give up.”
Sylvia’s smile clearly showed her sincerity. It was evident that she truly felt this way.
Fang Li couldn’t help but say, “Do you have no attachment to this world at all?”
“Of course, I have attachments,” Sylvia replied without the slightest hesitation. “Such as what will happen to the Kouhais I know at the academy, not being able to participate in the ‘Lindwurn Festa’ after leaving here to redeem myself, and Ursula still hasn’t woken up. There are many things to worry about.”
“But I’ve also said that I don’t want my current position to constrain my emotions,” Sylvia gazed directly at Fang Li and frankly said, “So if it’s possible, can you give me some time?”
At this moment, the emotions carried in Sylvia’s eyes were nothing but frankness and straightforwardness, as always.
Although she was a world-class Diva, Sylvia had always been candid about her inner self and faced everything with honesty. She never compromised on her own desires, truly remaining herself.
So, it’s no surprise that her singing could touch people’s hearts.
So, it’s no wonder her abilities were boundless.
As she said, she would never let external factors dictate her emotions; she pursued what she believed was right. The fact that she had persistently searched for her teacher for ten years was enough to prove this.
Fang Li finally understood how remarkable the girl who so openly declared her intention to be his lover was.
Fang Li himself was someone who did as he pleased, and naturally, he couldn’t help but resonate with a girl who didn’t hide her true self.
“So that’s how it is,” Fang Li mumbled with enlightenment. “So, maybe that’s the reason we’ve been able to develop to this point?”
“Perhaps,” Sylvia seemed to understand what Fang Li was getting at. She smiled warmly and said, “So, no matter what, being with you will never be boring.”
With the girl having spoken to this point, what else could Fang Li say?
At that moment, Fang Li hesitated for a moment before suddenly raising one hand.
In that hand, at some point, had appeared a piece of parchment.
The parchment was covered in mysterious runes, which formed a Rubik’s Cube pattern emitting a faint light, obviously far from ordinary.
Looking at the parchment, Sylvia couldn’t help but ask in curiosity and amazement, “What is this?”
“A Contract,” Fang Li smiled faintly at Sylvia and explained, “Simply put, if you’re willing, with this contract, our lives will be shared. We’ll have to rely on each other throughout our lives.”
Saying this, Fang Li laughed to himself, “However, it doesn’t seem like it’s time to use it yet.”
Upon hearing this, Sylvia suddenly smiled, extended her hand, and took the parchment from Fang Li.
Before Fang Li could react, Sylvia said, “I’ll hold onto this for now.”
With that, Sylvia extended a finger and gently touched Fang Li’s lips, smiling beautifully as she said, “After I’ve used it, you must remember to come get me.”
These words left Fang Li helpless, and he chuckled.
