The entire mall fell silent the moment the two embraced.
The explosions ceased.
The world seemed to contain only the two of them.
...
“She didn’t leave either?”
Seeing this, the viewers felt an inexplicable surge of excitement.
A bittersweet joy spread from the depths of their hearts.
“He finally saved her!”
“She was actually waiting for him all along, wasn’t she?”
“Wearing this uniform, my life belongs to the people. Taking it off, my life belongs only to you.”
“Wuwuwuwu… I’m going to cry myself to death in the livestream.”
The female fans in the livestream were weeping uncontrollably.
If only everything could be beautiful.
Who wouldn’t want their beloved, their great hero… to rush to save them without hesitation?
But reality was,
One was dead, the other was unconscious.
The reality was, if he hadn’t saved those children,
They would likely live with guilt for the rest of their lives.
And they would be verbally flayed by the parents of the five children.
But,
Saving five children meant losing the one they loved most.
Violating the vow to protect her for life.
“What kind of terrible choice is this! Why are there such villains!”
“But it is precisely because of their selfless dedication that we have our peaceful days.”
...
At this moment, the male viewers in the livestream clenched their fists.
“This woman is too damn wonderful! Where can I find one?”
“It’s truly difficult, wanting to protect family, wanting to protect children.”
“What we want to protect, isn’t it our family behind us, our peaceful era?”
It was because there were people they wanted to protect behind them that they wanted to protect this peaceful era.
It was because of this peaceful era that they had homes.
Family, five children…
On one side, a vow to their lover, on the other, a vow to their country.
How could the world offer both?
Since that was the case, then they could only…
Take down the culprit who created this dilemma – the bandit – in one fell swoop!!
“I choose three!”
“Forge a third path!”
Only by opening the third option could such tragedies be prevented.
This matter,
Easier said than done.
But was it harder than conquering the land in the past?
Was it harder than the nation being invaded in the past?!
“There was no road here originally, but as more people walked it, it became a road!”
“Protect my mountains and rivers, protect my homeland!”
...
The bullet comments flew by.
Some viewers in the livestream were weeping, while others were filled with righteous indignation.
But there was another group,
Who remained silent throughout this livestream.
They were Wei Yan’s comrades.
They were the police, special forces, firefighters…
For ordinary people, such a situation might never occur in their lifetime.
But they were different.
Like Wei Yan, they could face such a choice at any moment.
Could a third path be forged?
Yes!
For this peaceful era, for their families, and for themselves.
They would carve out a path!
...
...
The livestream continued.
After watching the two embrace for a while, Jiang Lin spoke:
“What are you two planning to do next?”
The embracing couple was startled, only then noticing someone else beside them.
Because Jiang Lin had concealed his presence so well, they hadn’t noticed him at all.
“Hey, it’s you!” Bai Shuangshuang exclaimed in surprise.
Wei Yan had clearly watched the livestream. “So it’s Lord Jiang Wuchang. What are you doing here?”
“Could it be because of us?”
Bai Shuangshuang sniffled and patted her husband.
“See? You’ve caused trouble for the streamer.”
Wei Yan unconsciously tightened his grip on his wife’s hand.
The moment the surrounding loop disappeared, he recalled everything.
“I’m sorry.”
Sorry for not keeping the vow.
Sorry for not saving you back then.
Bai Shuangshuang glared at him, wanting to hit him twice on the head.
“You still know that! I was so scared I cried back then!”
“My heart felt like a block of ice, chillingly cold.”
“When I married you, I knew that being with you would always be nerve-wracking!”
Wei Yan’s thoughts were a jumble, but only one phrase emerged:
“I’m sorry.”
Bai Shuangshuang snorted twice. “It’s good that you know you’re sorry. When I get to the underworld, burn more money for me.”
“Don’t ask me what I’ll do with the money; I’ll spend it if I want to eat, or go for a massage!”
Based on the underworld information she had, her current state meant she wouldn’t be reincarnated anytime soon.
However, during her time lingering in the mortal world, she hadn’t harmed anyone.
At most, she had held back her husband.
After arriving in the underworld, she would likely stay in the Ghost Market for a while.
Massage?!
Wei Yan looked at her abruptly. “No!”
He gripped her hand. “I’ll go down with you!”
“Wow, you still want to control me even after I’m dead… Wait!”
Bai Shuangshuang looked at him suspiciously. “You’re not planning to crack down on vice in the underworld, are you?”
Wei Yan remained silent.
In any case, massages and such were out of the question.
...
“Pfft… Forgive me for laughing impolitely.”
The viewers were still immersed in the previous emotions and hadn’t emerged from them.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly heard such a conversation.
This girl, the more you look at her, the more she seems like a comedian.
Cracking down on vice in the underworld… what an idea!
“By the way, how did they snap out of that emotional state so quickly?”
What kind of feelings could achieve that?
“Perhaps they’ve always been concerned about each other?”
“Because she knew he would come.”
“Miss, you must stop your husband, our future happy life depends on you!”
Underworld massages,
If they existed, they would also like to visit!
...
In the livestream,
Bai Shuangshuang shook off Wei Yan’s hand and ran behind Jiang Lin.
“I’m telling you, don’t even think about controlling me in the underworld!”
“The elders at home are still waiting for you! Go back and work hard!”
“Burn more money for me, accumulate merit, understand?”
Wei Yan looked at her, his mouth opening.
He fell silent for a moment.
Yes, the elders from both families…
Because of him, they had lost a daughter.
Bai Shuangshuang secretly asked Jiang Lin, “Streamer, can I ask, can I transfer departments now?”
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow. “Where do you want to go?”
Bai Shuangshuang thought for a moment. “The East Hall is actually very good; with the streamer here, it will definitely develop better.
But the high-tech stuff in the West Hall seems quite fun. The skills and techniques in the South Hall,咻咻咻, are also quite cool.
The retirement lifestyle in the North Hall is also perfect for slacking…”
She became somewhat conflicted.
Her choice paralysis kicked in.
“Forget it, I’ll just go to the East Hall with the streamer, hehe…”
Jiang Lin: “Are you sure?”
“Mhm!”
Actually, Jiang Lin was just asking.
Under the watchful eyes of the King of Hell, taking ghosts from the East Hall to other halls.
Unless absolutely necessary, it was best to avoid it.
Not only was it procedurally troublesome, but it was also difficult to explain to the King of Hell.
However, before leaving…
Jiang Lin looked at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan’s soul had left his body, making him a living soul.
Having stayed with Bai Shuangshuang for so long, although he hadn’t been harmed, he had been tainted with a certain amount of ghostly energy.
