Chapter 256

Elysia slowly typed out a question mark.

She then sighed, "Mei, you're saying something I don't understand at all again."

Mei gently adjusted her glasses, pondering her words.

Mobius then stepped out from behind him, saying dismissively, "Won't we just wait and see the result? Ordinary people who don't know the truth, even if they have the patience to listen to the process, simply won't understand."

"That's not entirely true. At the very least, every participant should understand the script relevant to their role."

Vill-V also came out, sat down to one side with a relaxed expression, and casually picked up some snacks to eat.

"Oh, so Mobius was the magician after all?"

Elysia sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm? Isn't my meaning obvious, Mobius? Only magicians need to conceal their techniques."

Mobius was taken aback for a moment before he could taste it.

It means that one is a magician, only able to perform illusions, and that one's abilities fail in the face of light.

"..."

Immediately, Mobius's gaze turned hostile.

Finally, Aponia and Sirin emerged, still wearing some kind of detection device on their heads, but showing no intention of removing it.

"We have all lost our former power, but this phenomenon is mostly controlled."

Aponia said.

"Is this another claim about the existence of gods? I don't object to that; at least that god seems pretty good."

Sirin walked to the table, her gaze lingered on the snacks for a moment, then she shook her head and turned to sit down next to Eden.

Seeing this, Elysia asked, "Little Sirin wants to lose weight?"

"That's too sweet, and besides, when have I ever needed to lose weight?"

"..."

Elysia turned her gaze to Aponia, and said expectantly, "Aponia, you once said that after that Flame Chaser surgery, I wouldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate, right?"

Aponia nodded slightly. "Indeed. Even after a long time has passed, the Flame Chaser still look the same as they did at the time of the surgery."

"Oh! Hmm..."

Elysia gently pinched her chin and subconsciously said, "Since you say I play the most important role, how about letting me participate in the experiments next?"

Vill-V: "It's not impossible, but strictly speaking, Elysia's connection with the other side isn't very close, so having you come during the connection phase wouldn't be very effective."

"Just let me do my part."

Mobius chuckled, "Let me remind you, the world no longer possesses the power of Honkai. Your wishful thinking is likely doomed."

"Mobius, actually I'm just a young girl who doesn't hide her dreamy nature. As for dieting, my figure is still perfect."

Mobius frowned again.

That tone is off.

She thought for a moment, and when she came to the phrase "as a young girl," her lips twitched.

"Hmph, childish!"

Chapter 295 A refuge has been delivered to our doorstep.

After some time, once the storm has passed, the Nightingale plans to embark on its journey again.

Bai Yan didn't understand much about artists' affairs, but he thought there was nothing wrong with doing so.

The Nightingale began his journey again, and it was time for Bai Yan to leave.

However, I can't be with her this time; I need to find another place to stay.

"If Bai Yan goes back properly and explains things to his friends, he should be able to return to Earth, right?"

"Theoretically, there's no problem, but I have a feeling that something bad might happen when I go back, so I've been putting it off because I want to figure out what this premonition is all about."

Bai Yan put down his coffee and said with a frown.

"Intuition?"

"No, it's more certain than intuition, but it's different from the kind of precognition or prophecy I'm familiar with. It's more vague and feels somewhat distant."

Bai Yan shook his head.

The Nightingale lost in thought, then casually unscrewed the cap of the SoulGlad and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Then, as if he had done something wrong, he quickly screwed it back on and put the bottle aside.

Bai Yan noticed her movements and suddenly realized that her words, "I have Emanator protecting me," had several other meanings.

Logically speaking, she should need to protect her voice, right?

But drinking it iced like this...

Even though Bai Yan's gaze was undisguised, the other party remained calm and did something insignificant.

However, the subtle expressions between her brows betrayed her joyful mood at that moment.

Just as Bai Yan was about to speak, the old-fashioned television in the room suddenly lit up, and then the screen began to be filled with static and flicker incessantly.

What's going on with this thing?

Bai Yan asked.

"That's not right, it doesn't usually do this."

The Nightingale got up, went over and patted the screen, but it didn't work. It tilted its head in confusion, "Sometimes it plays commercials or important live streams; this never happens unless there's a problem. Could it be affected by some kind of signal?"

"This TV shouldn't have its own thoughts, right? Could it be Intellitron rebellion?"

What is that?

"One type of science fiction we have is where robots created by humans begin to rebel against human control, and even take over."

"Uh... what a strange cultural work, but it's probably impossible; Penacony wouldn't do something like that."

"What happened...?"

A moment later, the static on the screen flickered more and more violently, Nightingale finally felt that he should call someone from his the Family to take a look.

The fact that this is so unusual, and in such a place, can only mean that there's a problem with some detail at Penacony.

The moment she stood up, the static on the screen suddenly disappeared, revealing a very clear picture.

At the same time, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"Hey, hey, hey, one, two, three? Hey, hey, hey, one, two, three?"

Bai Yan's expression shifted, and an incredulous emotion rose from the depths of his heart.

In the background of the image, there is a laboratory displaying various electronic devices, while in the center is a lively pink-haired girl.

The Nightingale paused, then instinctively asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Bai Yan suddenly said, "Cyrene."

Elysia was also stunned. "What Cyrene?"

Bai Yan looked suspicious and carefully examined Elysia: "No, Cyrene is much smaller and not that mature. It seems she only looks a bit like her."

In that instant, the Nightingale completely.

So she asked, "Who is Cyrene?"

"Amphoreus, the demigod of [the Ages],"

Bai Yan glanced at the screen and said earnestly to the Nightingale, "Look at that tuft of white hair next to her, I thought it was Phainon."

The Nightingale paused for a moment, then said, "So, actually you were the one who made a mistake?"

"Right."

Bai Yan nodded.

In the blink of an eye, she noticed that the girl opposite her had her eyes light up the moment she saw her, her puzzled expression vanished, and she even tidied her beautiful pink hair.

Elysia said softly, "Hello, my name is Elysia, I come from another Earth. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"

"My name is Nightingale, and this is Penacony."

"Oh!"

Elysia suddenly realized.

It really is another planet in the universe!

Then Elysia looked at Bai Yan and asked, "Can Fu Yan talk to me?"

Bai Yan said expressionlessly, "Then can Mem talk to me?"

Who is Mem?

"And who is Fu Yan?"

"..."

The Nightingale chuckled and quickly turned its head away before Bai Yan could realize its reaction.

Elysia was immediately puzzled and turned to look at someone behind her.

Since she was the only one in the shot, neither of the two people on this side could see the person she was looking at.

Subsequently, the majority of the screen was replaced with Aponia.

"Long time no see, Mr. Bai Yan."

"I've never seen you in Amphoreus, so who are you?"

Aponia wasn't annoyed; she simply smiled and said, "I haven't lost my Remembrance, and the Remembrance of Chrono-Sanctum have returned to my consciousness."

Bai Yan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"Hey, you there, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

Suddenly, a girl with white hair squeezed in and stared at Bai Yan, questioning him without any politeness.

Bai Yan countered, "Are you Kevin's relative?"

Sirin paused, glanced behind her, then turned back thoughtfully and said, "Come to think of it, we do look quite alike. I used to think we were from the same ethnic group... Tsk! Don't change the subject, do you know something?"

"Didn't Aponia say?"

Sirin shrank back, glanced cautiously at Aponia, and then whispered, "A nun or something... and she said she didn't really know either."

"That's simple. You're my defeated foe. Before you could even wreak havoc on the world, I suppressed you with my overwhelming power, and even your soul was banished to be reincarnated, which is why you are who you are now."

"..."

"It's no use getting angry now. With my current strength, I have few rivals in the world. Even if you recover to your peak, it's just a matter of lifting a finger."

Sirin retorted angrily, "Who's bothered with your past life?! Why are you making such a fuss over a simple question?"

"Oh, I see. I thought you were here for revenge."

Bai Yan asked calmly, "What grade are you in now?"

"Early--"

She had barely uttered a single word when Sirin glared at Bai Yan again.

"So how are you living with them now?"

Sirin crossed her arms. "My home."

Bai Yan nodded. "So it was adopted by Eden... but it's fate, isn't it?"

"Even their way of speaking is the same as hers..."

Sirin muttered to herself, then asked, "So, do you know anything about my background?"

When Sirin asked this question, both her expression and tone were quite sincere.

This surprised Bai Yan, who figured it was probably due to the influence of Eden or Elysia.

So Bai Yan stopped joking and thought for a moment before speaking.
