Chapter 253
"Chijie, what do you think?"
"... boring."
"Come on, come on! Didn't you hear Aponia say that you were part of the Fire Moth? Aren't you curious about just how strong you were back then?"
"..."
After a brief discussion, the group soon heard the familiar sound of an engine coming from outside.
The motorcycle stopped in front of the villa. Eden got off first and parked it; then a white-haired, golden-eyed girl jumped out of the sidecar. She looked to be not much older Griseo.
"Hey! Eden and Sirin are back!"
Before she finished speaking, Elysia rushed out to the entrance, gave her a tight hug, and then bent down to embrace Sirin.
"Don't use so much force, Elysia!"
"Sirin complained."
"It's been so long since I've seen you all."
"It's only been one day..."
Eden noticed that everyone had come out to greet him, so he asked, "Why is everyone together? Is there something special?"
Sirin peeked out from Elysia's arms, glanced at everyone, and then turned her gaze to Aponia.
Because the latter was also watching her.
"What's wrong?"
"Sirin I ask you, puzzled."
"Let's come in first; things are a little complicated."
Half an hour later.
Sirin frowned. "But what does this have to do with me?"
Aponia paused slightly before saying:
"You came from the other side, but now you belong entirely here."
"That person didn't know what to do with you, so they simply placed your consciousness in the Chrono-Sanctum, which is why you are here."
Sirin remained skeptical of this claim.
She has no Remembrance of anything related to it; she has been in an orphanage since birth until she was adopted by Eden and has been here ever since.
Eden touched Sirin's face, and said thoughtfully, "When I first met little Sirin, I felt a strong connection. Could it be related to this matter?"
Mobius looked at Sirin, his smile gradually deepening.
The latter was startled and shrank back into Elysia's arms, as if she had seen some terrifying predator.
"There have been instances of personnel exchanges between them,"
Mobius murmured, "This increases the number of elements involved in entanglement, if we want to approach it from the perspective of quantum mechanics..."
"That makes sense!"
Vill-V listened and looked at Sirin.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Don't worry, Sirin, I just need you to build a bridge to the other side."
Mobius's voice softened involuntarily.
Sirin felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps all over her body.
Elysia seemed oblivious, listening intently to the conversation while her hand continued to gently stroke her white hair.
A bustling metropolis, teeming with traffic.
The subway slowly approached the platform, and the two doors opened simultaneously the instant the train aligned with the platform doors.
People filed out from inside, followed closely by those outside.
Mei stumbled out of the car, adjusting her glasses, only to find her bag still caught in the crowd, impossible to free no matter how hard she tried.
He sighed inwardly, then continued to pull with all his might.
However, just as the door was about to close, he could only see two straps and couldn't pull out his things at all.
Just as I was considering whether to get on the bus temporarily and come back later when the problem was solved, a figure appeared and skillfully parted the crowd.
Mei felt her hand loosen, and the handbag gently bounced back into her arms, so she bent down and caught it.
Looking up again, I saw two people, one tall and one short, each dragging a suitcase, walking quickly towards me.
The older one is the one who just helped.
"Thank you."
Mei said.
"Don't mention it, it was just something I did."
Sakura nodded, then, as if remembering something, pulled out an advertisement and handed it to Mei, "Could you please take a look? Do you know this place? It wasn't marked on the map before."
Mei took it and glanced at it, then suddenly understood.
"So this is where I was going. You can come with me."
"Really? That's great!"
Sakura said happily, feeling very lucky.
Are you planning to rent a place there?
"Yes, I'd like to find a quiet place to stay."
"I see."
And what about you?
Sakura glanced at Mei briefly, unable to discern her origins, and thought she might also live there.
"A friend contacted me to discuss some things, which happened to be related to my work, so I came to take a look."
"You don't live there?"
"My workplace is a bit far from there, but it just so happens that a friend of mine lives there too."
Sakura's mind raced. Judging from her impression of the other person, they didn't seem like a difficult person to get along with. So, the people living in the villa probably weren't too outrageous either.
"Sister, why isn't this place marked on the map?"
Ling asked curiously.
"It's probably newly created and hasn't been synchronized yet..."
Mei's eyes flickered.
She knew it was actually because of Eden's little trick.
The villa is actually next to a section of highway, not far away, so transportation is not a problem.
As a public figure, some privacy in one's personal life is necessary.
Renting the villa to someone with a discerning eye and a connection was a spur-of-the-moment decision for her; and as things stand, this spur-of-the-moment decision seems quite good so far.
The three of them quickly arrived outside the villa.
Elysia opened the door to greet them.
Upon seeing Mei and two other new neighbors, her smile brightened considerably.
"You're here? Come in, come in! Everyone's waiting!"
Ignoring the expressions of the other two, Elysia pushed all three of them into the house and closed the door to keep the cold air out.
Mei placed her bag on top of the shoe cabinet next to the entryway, and smiled when she saw Kevin: "Looks like everyone's here?"
Kevin: "Hmm."
Aponia also came to the entrance, looking at the two sisters. "It seems that fate really did guide us to meet. Sakura, and Rin, welcome."
The two sisters were immediately taken aback: they had been with Mei the whole way, and she hadn't contacted anyone else; moreover, the three of them had come in together, and there hadn't been a chance for introductions.
How could she only know about the two of them?
Mei glanced at Aponia with slight surprise, said nothing, simply nodded to Sakura, and then followed Kevin into the house.
"I'll tell you the specific reasons later. Now, please join me. In fact, we've met before."
Ling glanced at her older sister, who remained puzzled.
In the end, Sakura stopped thinking about it and, filled with curiosity, took Rin's hand and went into the living room with Aponia.
Chapter 293 It's no longer feasible to hide outside.
Inside the medical tent.
The injured and the sick remained absolutely silent, not because the painkillers were particularly effective.
The main point is that there is a powerful singer of the Harmony fate here, and a young man who seems to be the Emanator of Abundance.
The injuries healed so quickly that everyone had the impression that the war hadn't started ten years ago, but had just ended ten years ago.
After the performance, Nightingale returned to the car prepared for the show and immediately collapsed onto the sofa.
The makeup artist had just left, leaving only Bai Yan and her there; everyone else was outside doing their own work.
"But Bai Yan, I've heard that the Xianzhou Alliance and the Abundance Forces are irreconcilable enemies. Besides... you don't seem to exhibit any of the unusual phenomena described in the legends."
After lying quietly for about fifteen minutes, the Nightingale sat up straight, as if suddenly remembering something, and asked curiously.
"Water and fire are incompatible, that's just a nice way of putting it."
Bai Yan curled his lip, "Just a bunch of haters who wanted immortality but didn't get the perfect result, so they quit the fandom and turned against us."
Nightingale: "..."
"The innate capacity of sentient beings is different. They don't have this innate capacity, you understand? Unlike me, the Mara-struck does not exist for me, and immortality is not a difficult thing for me."
"I have a friend who has lived for 50,000 years and is still incredibly healthy. The only problem is that he has too many and too complex Remembrance, which is taking a toll on his brain."
"I really don't understand why things are getting harder and harder in this much larger universe."
The Nightingale thought of the Seven Banners of the Emperor Bow.
Those people, each comparable to the Lord of Annihilation, are the core strength that enabled the Xianzhou Alliance to become a top-tier force in all realms.
Over the years, not only the Xianzhou Alliance, but everyone who received the Blessing of Abundance was ultimately severely affected by the Mara-struck...
Listen to Bai Yan's words again; they don't sound like something a primate would say.
Okay, let's change the subject...
"Bai Yan's world has been saved, but from your account, it seems to have been an extremely dangerous process. Do your friends know about your current situation?"
"They probably don't know, or deep down they believe I'm gone, but they still maintain the consensus that I'm still missing."
"Didn't you think of letting me know you're safe first?"
Bai Yan paused for a moment.
Once one's strength reaches this level, some things are no longer thought out or deduced by subjective consciousness.
In a sense, there was something like a subconscious or spiritual force constantly suggesting that he shouldn't go back for the time being, because if he did, something bad might happen.
The robin observed this reaction but misunderstood it as something else entirely.
Then she smiled slyly, "Of course, from a selfish point of view, having an Emanator- level figure protecting me, I certainly don't want to break this status quo."
"Hey! We're all friends, no Emanator any 'Emanator' or 'sisters,' we were just going out for fun."
Bai Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
"Ha ha!"
The Nightingale smiled happily, but then its expression darkened.
After a while, she spoke softly, "It seems that war has recently broken out in other parts of this planet."
