Soul-Slaying Girl: All the contracts I contracted are ancient divine weapons.

Chapter 940 The Real Anchor Point

The unexpected bullet disrupted the rhythm again.

At this moment, the struggle on the old man's face has become more and more obvious.

He recognized the "wandering shadow" just now!
His throat was like an old, rusty lock cylinder, struggling to make a "ho ho ho" sound.

A few awkward syllables finally came out of his throat and combined into understandable words:

"Chen...Du...Bei!"

After these words came out, the rusty feeling in his throat disappeared, and his tone of voice became faster:

"I know him."

"His name is Chen Dubei."

"Pure beauty star, lucky gambler, Chen Dubei!"

When he said this, the turbidity in the old man's eyes disappeared.

On the contrary, the "Han Zhan" on the opposite side, his originally clear appearance, suddenly began to become a little blurry.

……

"What is the anchor point, Han Zhan, have you ever thought about this question?"

Memories are frozen on the river bank of Hukou, where Han Zhan, who plays the scavenger, and No. 2 Dawn, the big golden retriever, are walking and talking.

What is an anchor point.

This is a question worth pondering.

"You said before that the anchor point is every event. The more witnesses there are to that event, the greater the impact, the wider the scope, the deeper the impression, and the bigger the anchor point event will be."

This is the answer given by Dawn No. 2.

The big golden retriever nodded slightly and did not deny the answer.

"Then have you ever thought about something else?"

“For each event, who is the beneficiary, or in other words, the profiteer of the anchor event?”

"Is it Dawn?"

This is what Han Zhan originally thought.

But when the big golden retriever asked himself this question, the answer seemed to become confusing.

Isn't it dawn?
Dawn carefully designed the anchor point event to obtain anchor points, and then use the anchor points to gain more benefits from the River of Everdarkness, such as antique props and summoning lingering shadows.

If Dawn is not the biggest beneficiary, then who is?

"I didn't tell you this before because given your views on Dawn at that time, you probably wouldn't believe it even if I told you."

Han Zhan nodded after hearing this. This was indeed the truth.

"In fact, the biggest beneficiary of the Anchor Point incident is the protagonist of destiny, himself!"

"It's true that we design anchor point events and earn anchor points, but have you ever thought about what the protagonist of destiny paid and what he gained?"

The destined protagonists are carefully selected by Dawn. They often change their fate and achieve heights that ordinary people cannot reach.

If we must say, apart from having their fate manipulated, they are undoubtedly the beneficiaries.

Unexpectedly, the big golden retriever seemed to guess what Han Zhan was thinking, and he shook his head.

"It's not what you think."

"Our eyes should not only focus on the surface, but should see something deeper, especially when you come here, to the world in the pot."

"Have you ever wondered where the real anchor is?"

"A real anchor?"

"Yes, the real anchor point." Big Golden Retriever said this, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Han Zhan, "Every time an anchor point event occurs, as the trigger, witness, and experiencer of the anchor point event, where is the real anchor point?"

"It's in your heart."

The real anchor is in the heart.

This answer seems to be correct, correct, and yet it seems to be meaningless.

So what if the anchor point is in the heart? It cannot even be monetized or create value. It can only become a memory engraved in the heart, a memory with both bitter and sweet moments.

This seems a bit tasteless.

At that time, on the river bank, after saying all this, Big Golden Retriever never mentioned anything more about the anchor point.

The Korean War was not taken seriously. The scene returned to the present, Hanoi in eternal darkness.

The old man didn't know where he got the strength from, but he twisted his body to break free from the hand that was strangling his neck.

He took a step back, putting some distance between himself and the blurry figure opposite him.

“A real anchor.”

“So, this is the meaning of anchor points!”

His voice echoed on the boat and across the entire surface of the River of Everdarkness.

"I remember, the water planet, the sword slashed Jörmungandr."

"I remember, on the Pure Beauty Star, the reversal of life and death destroyed the body of the god."

"I remember, Yongshaxing, unlimited firepower to win the sandbox game."

"I remember the fruit world..."

"I remember, Blue Star..."

"I remember……"

As he spoke of the anchor events one by one, those unforgettable memories, those people and things that could not be forgotten,

He spoke faster and faster, his voice becoming clearer and brighter.

His voice went from low and hoarse to warm and steady.

The wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his appearance began to change from that of an old man back to his true original appearance.

"I remember, I am Han Zhan!"

When he said this last sentence, he completely woke up from the state of "causal theft"!
On the opposite side, "Han Zhan" has become blurred and is no longer the old man that was seen at the beginning.

It seemed to be a mass.

A vague, distorted, formless consciousness.

After it appeared, it suddenly jumped backwards, into the dark and deep River of Everlasting Darkness, and disappeared.

The crisis is over.

……

The sky of the river of eternal darkness,
The surging golden river began to flow backwards, returning to the time before it collided with the River of Eternal Darkness, returning to the very beginning when Nuanxue opened her arms.

Nuanxue came back to her senses and touched her face in surprise, only to find that she was still alive.

"how's it going?"

"Are you okay, Xiaoxue? How's Azhan?"

"Did you successfully enter the River of Everlasting Darkness?"

The Qi Ling girls around came over anxiously and asked.

"I... succeeded..." In Nuanxue's memory, she still clearly remembered the scene of herself controlling the River of Time to crash into the River of Eternal Darkness.

She should have disappeared with the collapse of the long river of time, but she returned to her original position.

This reminded her of an extremely familiar talent.

"Flowing light and shadows."

"Xiaoxue, what did you say?"

"I said, I think I just saw... the Queen Mother of the West..."

Along with the River of Time returning to its original position, the gap created above the River of Eternal Darkness also returned to its original position.

At the gap that no one noticed, a moment before the gap was restored, a chaotic and blurry light and shadow escaped from there, completely breaking free from the silent swallowing of the River of Eternal Darkness.

The blurry light and shadow flew to the bottom of the pot in the world inside the pot at an extremely fast speed.

There, Dawn No. 1 seemed to have expected it. He stretched out his hand and let the blurry light and shadow blend into his palm and then disappear.

Dawn No. 1 lifted up the black hood that he had not taken off for a long time, revealing his true appearance.

It was an old face.

If Han Zhan were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this face was the old man he saw on the small wooden boat on the Everlasting Darkness River.

He faced the still surging Everdark River and murmured to himself:
"Welcome back, will of the universe."
