Not Every Fairytale Has A Happy Ending

Professor Daniel looked at Neo with a concerned gaze.

He squeezed words out of his mouth.

"How are you going to survive this?"

"I can't."

Neo smiled bitterly.

"My plan failed."

Professor Daniel's face hardened.

He had been feeling guilt for leaving so much responsibility on Neo.

But he had hoped Neo would be able to change the past and survive.

Because Neo had been confident about his survival.

"What changed now…."

Professor Daniel stopped speaking,

The realization dawned on him.

"Neo, are you in the Shadow Trial right now?"

The air grew colder.

Neo's lips parted slightly, but no words came.

He had told them he had entered the Shadow Trial in the past.

He had worded his explanation carefully, making Professor Daniel think he had failed his Shadow Trial and been thrown out of the Shadow World by the Supreme Deity of Shadow.

He made them believe this was the real world.
