"Reacting instantaneously, he drew the gun, braced his wrist on the Emissary’s shoulder, and fired without even blinking."
The immediate, unplanned synchronization between them is to me soooo much like the drama scene where ZYL stops pretending to be mind controlled, and I'm so here for it. :D
"There are always things that you can’t control. Either you become strong enough to solve every problem, or you just forget it. It’s not good to obsess over them. That just eats up your mental RAM."
I mean, it's just facts. Often easier said than done facts, but still just facts. (And hey, that's exactly why he ignored the information about his soul fire being missing, isn't it? I just realized it. :D)
"Wang Zheng was good tempered. Even when her boss said something so blatantly racist, she was able to stay calm; she didn’t even daydream about beating him up."
I love the implication that she did in fact daydream about beating him up. :D :D
"That was exactly what Wang Zheng was afraid of: Zhao Yunlan having ideas."
"Reflect carefully, Comrade Wang Zheng. You’ll be representing our department at the Party seminar at the end of this year. I’ll get Zhu Hong to find you a corpse to wear, so study hard."
I just love the ZYL & Wang Zheng dynamic so much in general, k, it's so fun to read.
"The person touched the bloody hole in his forehead, exploring inside it."
Idek, this is cool.
"No expression showed on the ghost-faced mask. “I have no wish to hurt you. It would be best if the Guardian stayed out of this.”
There was no change in Zhao Yunlan’s relaxed, easy posture, with one hand tucked into a pocket. He didn’t need to try hard for his streetwise attitude to shine through. “Aiyou, I’m so scared.”"
I just love ZYL so much, SO SO MUCH, DAMN. And the Emissary is not having it at all, which somehow makes it even better. :D :D
"Zhao Yunlan dusted the powder off his hands. “Don’t try to act cool. Acting cool gets you struck by lightning.”"
"Plucking it from the ground, he threw it to the Soul-Executing Emissary. “Here! Your Hallowed Artifact.”"
I LOVE HIM TO PIECES.
"Once the trapped souls think it through, they’ll come out on their own. They’re only still stuck in there because they don’t want to come out yet. What can keep them in there now other than themselves?"
I love this line and this concept.
And teleporting while being cuddled under the cape! ♡♡♡ Very professionally and only as long as necessary, of course. :D
And yesss, I was like 'what in the world are you taking Sangzan for, he's terrifying??', but ZYL is just doing everything for Wang Zheng here (in a really prickly way), so he'd totally do this too, apparently.
