Chapter 321: Ordinary life? It doesn't exist!
Guan Lili took the last step, and the scene before her gradually changed from a bustling neighborhood to an ordinary community. The sun shone on the old residential buildings, children were playing downstairs, and someone was shouting in the distance to sell vegetables, as if everything had returned to the most ordinary daily life.
"Can we finally live a normal life?" Lily took a deep breath, a hint of relief in her eyes. However, she knew in her heart that behind all this calm, there were often bigger storms lurking.
"Lily, you look relieved. Do you really think we should stop here?" He Shaoyan suddenly appeared behind her, smiling as if he deserved a beating.
"What are you trying to do?" Lily rolled her eyes helplessly, "I've just been through so many levels, you need to let me take a break."
"Rest? Your life is destined to be anything but ordinary." He Shaoyan sighed pretentiously, "But do you really think everything is over?"
Lily turned around and looked at him, feeling suddenly uneasy: "Are you setting a trap for me again?"
He Shaoyan spread his hands and pointed to a building not far away: "Let's go, there is a new mission waiting for you."
"The tasks you mentioned, aren't they some kind of 'psychological challenge'? I'm seriously considering quitting my job!" Lily couldn't help but complain. Although she said she was reluctant, her body honestly followed. After all, she knew that she had long been tied to this turbulent life.
Several people walked into the building, and the elevator door slowly opened on the top floor, and they came to a luxuriously decorated conference room. The long table in the middle of the conference room was filled with documents and materials, and several "elites" in suits and leather shoes were waiting for them with serious faces.
"Welcome to the 'Destiny Planning Committee'." A middle-aged man sitting in the main seat spoke with a steady and authoritative voice.
"The Fate Planning Committee?" Lily almost laughed out loud. "Why does this name sound like a metaphysical organization?"
"In fact, it is a group of people like us who are responsible for manipulating the directions of some key figures behind the scenes." He Shaoyan added with a smile.
"Then what am I? One of the key figures being manipulated?" Lily's tone was a little teasing, but in her heart she had already begun to wonder what this group of people wanted to do.
"You are not just an object of observation, but also an important role that we hope to bring into the team." The middle-aged man said calmly, but with a hint of unquestionable strength, "Based on your performance, we think you have the potential to become a member of this team."
"You want me to join?" Lily was a little surprised. "After all this time, you guys behind the scenes still want to recruit new people?"
"We are not forcing you, we are just giving you a chance." The man smiled and pushed a document over. "If you are willing, you can choose to become one of us and participate in high-level decision-making that you could not access before. If you don't want to, we will let you return to your original life, but you will never be able to access this level of the world again."
Lily fell into deep thought. The temptation of this "high-end decision" was irresistible, but she also knew that this might mean that she would bid farewell to mediocrity and step completely into a world full of unknowns and risks.
"It sounds interesting." Lily raised her eyebrows and smiled, "But I really have to think about whether I want to play with people like you with strange thinking patterns."
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and an unexpected person rushed in—it was a mysterious woman!
"I won't allow you to drag Lily in so easily." The mysterious woman said coldly, "She has a more important mission to complete, instead of wasting her time here with you."
"Why did you show up again?" Lily held her forehead helplessly, "Can you please stop causing trouble for me?"
The mysterious woman stared at Lily expressionlessly: "Do you think these so-called 'destiny plans' are everything? No, the real key is to break the established pattern, and you are that variable."
"It sounds like I'm becoming more and more like a 'savior.'" Lily joked with a smile, but she was already wavering inside.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, as several forces seemed to want to compete for Lily's "ownership". She was caught in the middle, feeling as if she had become some kind of key resource, and she couldn't help but laugh or cry.
"Come on, don't fight. I don't think I'm powerful enough to need you to worry about me." Lily spread her hands and said, "I want to first understand how this game is played, and then decide whether to join or not."
"You decide the rules of the game." The middle-aged man said slowly, with a hint of letting go in his tone, "Whatever you choose, it will determine your future path."
Lily took a deep breath, and various thoughts raced through her mind. She knew that this decision would completely change the direction of her life, and no matter which side she chose, the result might lead to unpredictable consequences.
"In that case, I will make my own rules." Lily smiled with a firmness. She looked at the members of the "Fate Planning Committee" and said in a brisk but unquestionable tone, "I have decided not to stand on any side, but to carve out a path for myself."
"Open your own path?" He Shaoyan looked at her with interest. "Are you sure? This is not an easy choice."
"Easy choices aren't my style." Lily shrugged. "If I want to play this game, then I have to play by my rules. This situation is already complicated enough, so why not spice it up a bit."
There was a brief silence in the conference room, and then the middle-aged man smiled approvingly: "Very good, since you are willing to go your own way, we will wait and see."
The mysterious woman didn't say anything else, turned around and left, leaving a sentence before leaving: "No matter what you choose, you will find that the real challenge is in your heart."
Lily looked at the empty conference room and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She understood that this game had just begun, and her rules were the key to determining victory or defeat.
Walking out of the building, Lily looked up at the sky, smiled and said to herself: "Whether it is destiny or challenge, the most important thing is to follow your own path."
A new journey unfolds before her feet. Guan Lili is ready for more unforeseen adventures. This time, she will take herself as the center and lead her own story.
