Chapter 962


    Why did shemit suicide?


    Was it because she was in too much pain and felt too hopeless to continue, so that was why she did


    it?


    I lowered my head and looked at the white floor that was without a single blemish. Its whiteness


    made my eyes hurt.


    For people who refused to spare themselves,mitting suicide was indeed the best way to free


    themselves.


    After having breakfast, I took a cab to Jade Imperial Mountain.


    On top of the mountain was thergest local church. People went up all the time to pray for


    themselves and their families.


    The road up the mountain was extremely treacherous. When I was almost at the top, I followed


    those who hiked up the mountain and made the sign of the cross.


    "You didn''t bring any knee pads, Miss?" the old man beside me asked.


    The old man''s eyes were moist. There was a faint and soft smile on his lips. He was a tender and


    kind person.


    I smiled a little. "If I just have to suffer a little pain so that those I love can be happy, then I’m willing


    to bear such pain."


    The old man shook his head and smiled. "Silly child."


    When I got to the top of the mountain, my knees could hardly bend anymore.


    After entering the church, I knelt in front of the cross and put my hands together to pray. "Please be


    merciful, oh Lord, and may the dead rest in peace."


    Songs of worship entered my ears as I stared longingly at the cross.


    All the sorrows and sufferings of this world needed to be liberated by oneself. No one else could


    offer any sort of help.


    Life was bitterly short, and everything was merely a passing cloud. Only by letting go would one be


    liberated.


    Could I really let go, though?


    I left Zenon the next day and took the train to Riverbank City.


    Riverbank City was located in the southernmost area and was a highly developed city.


    I figured that I could only keep myself from dying too soon if I lived in a city full of smoke and people


    bustling about to make a livelihood.


    When I arrived at Riverbank City, I first went to the business hall to change to a local SIM card.


    Then, I went to a real estate agency to rent a room.


    Thend here was very expensive, so I only rented a house that was 645 square feet. Although it


    was merely 645 square feet, its rent was as high as 2,000 dors a month.


    I tidied up the house and bought some necessities. The next day, I started running around to look


    for a job. 1


    I eventually applied for a job in the logistics department of Linda Corporations and led a nine-to-five


    life. It took me 28 days to fully adapt to such a life. The people and things in Whaldorf City were


    It was now mid of July. Riverbank City was located in the southernmost area, and due to problems


    with thepany''s electrical system, the higher-ups notified everyone to get off work early as the


    lack of air conditioning was truly tormenting.


    I was packing up my things to go home when Horton Zafron, my colleague, walked toward me with


    a pile of documents in his arm. He said helplessly, "The higher-ups are in a rush to use these. We


    might have to endure the high temperature and work for another half an hour."


    It H


    I put down my bag and wiped off the sweat from my forehead before sighing. "I won''t be joining the


    evening gathering, then."


    "That’s not very good.” Horton Zafron disagreed. "It won’t be good if you’re the only person absent


    for the department gathering.”


    I looked up at him and softly sighed. "Can’t you see that I have a lot of work to do and need to work


    overtime?"


    Horton put on a helpless look. "We can both handle these documents in less than half an hour."


    After a pause, he continued, "You''ll have to socialize one way or another.”
