I didn’t want to ride my bicycle and run around. I didn’t want to shout loudly either.

I wanted to travel far. I wanted to find that “enormous idea.” I wanted to find that “shocking scent.” I wanted to find Guyu-gege.

I needed to find a way to save “Jade City,” but I didn’t have much time. I calculated that now “Jade City” had only twenty-two people left, including me. If I didn’t hurry and do something, Siwei-jiejie and Guyu-gege would never have a home to return to.

So in the next cycle, I shook off those subjects who kept chasing me asking about “ascension” and found the equipment I had hidden beforehand.

I put on my crown, fastened my sword, arranged my cape, mounted my steed, and set off toward that place called “Dao City.”

Elder sister, I will take this cape with me. I will take my broken heart and the swallow’s corpse to find the heaven that belongs to us.

I also promise you I’ll act like a real eight-year-old child. I’ll call all the men “gege” and “shushu,” and call all the women “jiejie” and “ayi.”

I don’t have anything I want to do, I only want to become a true “hero.”

This time I will embark on this journey alone. I won’t trust anyone anymore, nor will I join any organization. I’ll only seek a path that can save us.

“Dao City” was indeed a very strange place.

The number of living people here far exceeded my imagination. The scents on their bodies were varied and very spectacular.

After coming here for just a few hours, I already felt my nose getting a bit itchy.

But… were all the people here this enthusiastic?

That big guy behind me had been following me for a long time. Although the scent on his body wasn’t unpleasant, I really didn’t want to join any organization. Why did he have to force me?

“Damn!” That big guy said while running, “Kid, that’s about enough, isn’t it? You have a bicycle to ride, but I don’t. Just give me a straight answer about whether you’ll join us or not.”

“Shushu, are you a Frag… are you an ‘Echoer’?”

“Damn… I am.” The big guy bent down, gasping for breath as he said, “What about it? Are you one too?”

“How long have your memories been preserved? Do you know what happened twelve years ago?” I asked again.

“Twelve years ago…?”

The big guy straightened up and scratched his head. The muscles on his arms bunched together at this moment. He looked like he might be much more formidable than Zhou Zhenglong.

“Yes.” I nodded. “It seems something major happened here twelve years ago… Do you know about it?”

“Damn… your ‘echo’ has lasted way too long…” He was stunned, “I don’t know about that… How about I take you back to ask our leader? He really likes recruiting ‘Echoers.’ Although his memory isn’t long either, he should have left behind some notes or something…”

“Never mind then.” I answered, “I don’t want to join an organization. Sorry, shushu.”

“You’re quite a stubborn little kid…” He let out a helpless sigh, “Even though you have memories, you’re still a child after all. Wandering around randomly in this place seems pretty dangerous no matter how you think about it.”

“It’s okay, I’m not afraid.” I said, “Thank you.”

I’d had enough of places where a group of people gathered together. I’d also had enough of things like “leaders.” Even without their help, I could rely on my own nose to find that person’s scent.

I had smelled it once before. There was no way I could possibly forget it.

If I could really find him, no matter where he went, I would follow him closely until he told me why he was calling out to me.

I didn’t need anyone’s help. I could do it myself.

I got back on my bicycle and was about to head deeper into the city.

“Hey, damn… recruiting people for ‘Tiantang Kou’ is getting harder and harder…”

The big guy’s voice rang out behind me again, but at this moment I squeezed the brakes once more.

I slowly turned my head back and asked softly: “Shushu, what did you just say your organization is called?”

“‘Tiantang Kou.'” He said, “What? Have you heard of it?”

“Heaven…” I gripped the cape on my back.

As soon as I arrived in “Dao City,” this man had been chasing me to get me to join their organization… Could he be the “angel”?

He came to find the prince with the broken heart and the swallow’s corpse to take them together into heaven.

“Shushu, what’s your name?” I asked.

“Zhang Shan.” He said, “Have you met me before?”

I frowned slightly: “Zhang San…?”

Before elder sister died, she told me: “Maybe the ordinary people around us… or some very inconspicuous person is an angel.”

Could this be what she meant? As if destined by fate… this man happened to be the angel?

“What Zhang San…?” He also frowned, “Shan! The shan from big mountain (dashan)!”

“I’ll go with you, shushu.” I looked at him and said very seriously, “Take me to ‘Heaven.'”

No matter what, at least the scent on this man wasn’t bad. There was no loss in following him to take a look.

“Go to ‘Heaven’…” Zhang Shan shook his head helplessly, “You make it sound like I’m taking you to die. We’re called ‘Tiantang Kou’!”

After saying this, he was stunned for a moment, then said again: “But Chu Tianqiu did seem to say… it used to be called a two-character name. What was it again…”

I turned my bicycle around and rode to his side: “Let’s go, shushu.”

“Alright then, finally managed to keep you, kid.”

He reached out to pat my head. I instinctively wanted to dodge, but after thinking about it, I held back.

“Strange kid. Keep up, okay?”

I nodded and leisurely pedaled my bicycle following him forward.

By joining “Heaven,” would I be able to find that special scent faster?

If the owner of that scent was truly many times more powerful than me, I would even be willing to remove my crown and kneel on one knee before him, only asking that he could save “Jade City” and bring my Siwei-jiejie back to my side.

Perhaps I would have to keep pretending to be a little child, but that was okay. I would protect everyone.

I am Zheng Yingxiong from “Jade City.”

I will carry the heavy scent on my body and begin to lie.
