Tragedy Is Not the End, but the Beginning of Hope! (Continued)
This shockingly obsessive statement took everyone by surprise. The woman in the wheelchair gripped Eden's hand tightly with one hand and pulled out a knife she had hidden in the armrest of the wheelchair with the other.
The next second, with a hysterical, morbid smile, she stabbed at Eden, whose face showed fear.
At that moment, the agent turned pale, the fans screamed, and the security personnel outside the dressing room were too late to help. It seemed that this Superstar artist was about to fade away.
"Oh dear~ Miss Eden is really unlucky to have a chance to meet you, a yandere fan like you."
"What!"
The woman in the wheelchair stared in astonishment at what was happening before her. The dagger she was about to thrust at Eden was easily blocked by two fingers. The White Youth standing behind her casually defused her surprise attack.
While ordinary people might not be able to react in time, there was a Seven-Core Herrscher and Fusion Warrior of the Apocalypse-class present at the scene.
If Bai Ge were present and she still managed to launch a successful attack, then Bai felt he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it and die.
"Forget it, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and there are all kinds of weirdos when there are a lot of fans."
"Ughh..."
Bai Ge gently squeezed the arm that was gripping Eden, and instantly the woman in the wheelchair's bones snapped. She screamed in agony and had no choice but to release Eden.
Bai Ge then pulled Eden behind him, standing in front of her, and stared expressionlessly at the woman in the wheelchair, wondering how to punish her next.
"Damn it, don't stop me! What do you know! Eden! Your song is my hope and reason for living. I can't live without your song, but I'm about to die. So please, Eden, die with me. I want to hear your song in the afterlife. I beg you!!"
"Ugh, what a ridiculous reason..."
Hearing the woman's excessively rude pleading, Bai Ge was speechless, wondering how she had the nerve to say such a thing.
"I'm sorry, I can't die with you, because my songs belong to this era. There are still many people in this world who want to hear me sing and need my voice. But of course, most importantly, I don't want to die right now."
Eden shook his head and said sadly but earnestly.
"Um, Miss Eden, you don't have to answer her so formally."
Bai Ge was both amused and exasperated, but at the same time he had figured out the best way to deal with this woman.
"What... what do you want to do!"
Bai Ge walked straight to the woman in the wheelchair, then placed his hand on her shoulder, and an Abyss Flower quietly bloomed.
"Alright, now your injuries and illnesses are completely healed. If you don't believe me, try walking around yourself."
"Wh-what?"
The woman in the wheelchair grabbed the armrest in surprise. She thought Bai Ge was joking with her and was about to angrily retort, but she paused when she saw the handsome face of the young man in front of her.
Then, as if she had just remembered something, the woman in the wheelchair nervously checked her body, and then she revealed a look of ecstatic joy.
"I'm all better! My hands, my feet, all my illnesses are gone! I can live again!"
To everyone's astonishment, she stood up directly from her wheelchair. Her sickly appearance had completely vanished, and there was no trace of the words she had previously spoken of about not having much time left.
"Now that you're better, get out of here and stop getting in my way."
"Yes! Yes! I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now!"
The anger that had been filling her eyes towards Bai Ge just moments before had completely vanished. This woman even abandoned her wheelchair and scrambled out of Eden's lounge.
"You are truly kind."
"This is the best way to handle it."
Bai Ge shook his head, a meaningful smile in his eyes. He couldn't very well kill someone in Eden's lounge, and although he had indeed healed the woman in the wheelchair, but...
Is this a benevolent act of charity, or a poisoned apple?
None of the people present knew Bai Ge, let alone what he was thinking.
However, due to this unexpected assassination attempt, the meeting with Eden ended prematurely. In order not to affect the upcoming concert, the singer needs some time to adjust her mindset, but...
"Thank you, my benefactor. If it weren't for your protection, I would have died just now. Um, or should I call you Mr. Bai Ge, or perhaps Mr. Hero?"
Bai Ge was kept in Eden's lounge.
The beautiful superstar first bowed to him, her large, white, protruding pubic hair revealing her cleavage, making her the most prominent of all the female leads appearing so far!
"Hmm? Miss Eden, you know me?"
"Of course, even though I am just a singer, I am aware that the world is facing danger and I know about the existence of the Moth Chasing Fire. I have heard many people say that you are a great hero."
Eden smiled and praised.
Bai Ge is actually more famous than he imagined.
After all, since the birth of the Herrscher of Thunder, Honkai has entered the vision of ordinary people in this era, Moth Chasing Fire has recently intended to make its plans public to the public.
As a hero who defeated four Herrscher in succession, Bai Ge's name had already spread far and wide, and many people knew of his existence. Some of the Eden fans just now also recognized Bai Ge.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai Ge. You not only saved the world, but you also saved me today."
"Well, actually you won't die. That woman is an amateur. Even without my knife, although it would have pierced your stomach, it wouldn't have been fatal."
Bai Ge shook his head and said that Eden was someone who could live until the end of the Previous Civilization, and her predetermined fate would not allow her to die early, but he was indeed startled.
"I think you should pay more attention to your safety and check things more thoroughly beforehand."
"Yes, it seems we'll have to be more careful next time."
Eden gave a helpless, bitter smile. Because the other person was a wheelchair user with mobility issues, she hadn't had a thorough check-up, and unexpectedly, this happened.
If it weren't for the White Youth before him, Eden would have touched his stomach, thinking that it probably would have hurt a lot.
"Please allow me to thank you again, Mr. Bai Ge. And could you please chat with me a little longer? I've always been curious about your deeds, and having you by my side makes me feel safer," Eden said, trying to persuade him to stay.
"It's my pleasure, Miss Eden. I also have a lot of musical topics I'd like to discuss with you."
"Please just call me Eden, my benefactor."
The two exchanged a smile and then began to chat happily. Meanwhile Pink Fairy Lady, who was still waiting in the audience for the opening ceremony, was unaware that the two's favorability rating was about to take off.
Bai Ge and Eden got along very well, after all, they were both passionate about music and had unique insights into beauty.
However, a person in charge of accompaniment soon came over, and Eden nodded slightly to her and said something.
"... Thank you everyone, I'll sing this song first."
"No problem, Eden. After all, you've encountered such a terrible thing, you really need to vent a bit."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Bai Ge asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just want to sing a sad song to release my emotions from earlier, this is it." Eden said, handing over the music piece.
"Ah~ My singing gave her the will to live, but she was repaid in this way. Even I can't help but feel sad," Eden said wistfully.
Bai Ge nodded understandingly. After all, it was normal to be in a bad mood after encountering such a terrible thing.
If this were some celebrities who are timid and have low tolerance for stress, they might have simply suspended or canceled the concert.
Eden simply chose to release his emotions through a sad song, for which Bai Ge gave a thumbs-up in approval.
"Don't worry, she won't appear in front of you again. But this song is very sad; it's a tragedy."
Each song tells a story. After looking at the sheet music once, Bai Ge immediately understood it. He had grasped the story depicted in the song through the notes and lyrics.
This is a tragic story about a protagonist who yearns to become the light, but is repeatedly deceived and betrayed, falls into the mire, and ultimately loses everything with no chance of reversal.
This perfectly reflects Eden's current state of mind.
"If you don't like it, I can change it to another one."
Eden smiled and said that although she wanted to sing this song right now, she was willing to ignore her feelings if her savior found it annoying.
"... Never mind."
Bai Ge hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
Although he does hate tragedies and has vowed to change all the knives on the Honkai Impact 3rd, he's not so bad that he can't accept a sad song, and he can tell that the song is good.
If Eden were to sing it now, it would surely be a moving melody. It would be such a shame to cancel it just because of my own preferences, and besides...
"Tragedy is not the end (of Nuozhao), but the beginning of hope."
Bai Ge smiled brightly as he admired the tragic song in his hand. He knew that even tragedy was by no means worthless.
Take now, for example. Even though he has achieved remarkable results in the eyes of outsiders, saving countless things, Bai Ge knows that he still hasn't been able to save them all.
The tragedy still exists...
But this is by no means the end!
Bai Ge has engraved all the regrets, tragedies, and tears in his heart. In the future, when a new cycle begins, these tragedies will become the foundation of hope, allowing him to create a story even more perfect than the present one!
"Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope..."
Eden blankly repeated his words.
"What beautiful words!"
Her sadness was somewhat lessened.
With such positive and beautiful words, coupled with Bai Ge's warm, sunny smile, Eden felt that the assassination attempt just now was no longer a big deal. Her frightened heart had now been healed and soothed by the White Youth.
"Hehe~ Maybe one day in the future, Eden, you will encounter something that makes you glad for today's tragedy."
Bai Ge said jokingly, and Eden couldn't help but laugh out loud. The White Youth in front of him was truly extraordinary, and his words inexplicably made people want to believe them.
In fact, in the not-too-distant future, Eden will truly feel fortunate for this tragedy.
