They are not human! (From chapter 61)

Wen Qing's first reaction was to suspect he had heard wrong.

The next second, 001 said again: 【Isn't bigger better?】

This time, Wen Qing heard it clearly. He widened his eyes, and a blush crept up his cheeks: 【What's wrong with you?!】

Was it because of the film from last night?

001 calmly asked: 【What's wrong with that question?】

Wen Qing wanted to say, of course, it's wrong—talking dirty in broad daylight, such an indecent system!

Then he reconsidered. The giant figure in the sky seemed to be a natural part of the human world, possibly related to the system...

If 001's question was just an ordinary one, then it was his own mind that had wandered.

001: 【Hmm?】

Wen Qing pursed his lips, his face reddening further: 【What did you mean by that question?】

001 replied blandly: 【The literal meaning.】

Wen Qing's face turned even redder. He didn't want to discuss whether bigger was better with the system. He mentally replied with an "oh," and quickly looked around.

The pavilion he was in was located in a secluded corner of the commercial area, with not many people around. A few people were chatting on the street nearby, but he couldn't be sure if they were monitoring him.

Wen Qing glanced at them cautiously. Seeing they weren't paying attention to him, he took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and opened the door, turning into a small alley.

The giant figure in the sky was extremely eye-catching; no matter where you were in the human world, you could see it if you looked up.

After walking for a while, Wen Qing couldn't help but look up again.

The white mist seemed to be dispersing from the bottom upwards. Now it had cleared to the giant's fingers, which were very clear, but the face was still shrouded in a hazy mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Wen Qing watched for a while. Was it his illusion, or did the face behind the mist move slightly?

He quickly asked the system: 【Did my eyes play tricks on me?】

001 didn't answer.

Wen Qing's eyelashes fluttered; it seemed he wasn't allowed to ask about it.

He didn't pursue the matter further and continued walking towards the direction of the Lucky Restaurant based on his memory.

This alley was quiet with no other players around, just the sound of his footsteps, rustling leaves, and low chirping of birds.

Halfway through, Wen Qing's footsteps halted suddenly as he realized something.

Bird sounds.

Birds?

How could there be birds in the human world?

Wen Qing turned his head, staring intently at the treetops.

After a moment, a small grey-brown bird slowly poked its head out, its small black eyes fixated on Wen Qing, chirping twice.

Wen Qing instinctively asked 001: 【Am I really seeing things?】

This time, 001 answered: 【No.】

Wen Qing stared blankly at the little grey bird. It flapped its wings and slowly flew down from the treetop towards him.

The little grey bird landed on Wen Qing's shoulder, rubbing affectionately against it.
