Zhu Yufeng: I'm Numb. Completely Numb.

Zhu Yufeng stood in the moonlit garden, lost in thought. He was very familiar with this scene; in fact, he had never forgotten it, after all, it was the place where he first received a confession of love...

According to his memory, Lilith would come soon and confess her feelings to him.

Sometimes he wondered what would have happened if he had accepted Lilith's confession. But then he realized that he couldn't deceive his own heart. He knew that Lilith 'Lilith confession was genuine, but what he could give in return might not be genuine.

Moreover, at that time, he himself did not know whether he could survive the War of Finality or even the earlier the Tragedy of Binding; everything was uncertain.

Now he needs to think about why he's been having lucid dreams so frequently lately. Not long ago, he had a series of movie-like lucid dreams, from the Tragedy of Binding to the Final Banquet, and then to the War of Finality...

It's hard not to consider that this is the effect of the power of the Eighth Law.

But wasn't the core of the Eighth Law Master found? Could it be that during his fight with the Eighth Law Master, he absorbed some of the Eighth Law Master's power, causing him to unconsciously trigger the power on himself now?

It is indeed not impossible.

Furthermore, in searching for commonalities among these recent lucid dreams, the main related figures, besides myself, are Elysia and Lilith. In reality, Lilith should have been involved from beginning to end, since the War of Finality had nothing to do with Elysia.

That's not right either. Lilith couldn't possibly know about what happened with Elysia at the Final Banquet. Elysia didn't tell her, so she certainly wouldn't have told Lilith.

In that case, the first assumption also doesn't hold true, since he had no idea about this at all...

No, the Eighth Law's power can indeed access memories. If it was truly a power triggered unconsciously, then that's quite possible...

As if by telepathy, Zhu Yufeng looked up and saw Lilith walking towards him from the other side of the garden, from the exit of the banquet hall. He was now facing a problem: if Lilith confessed to him as he remembered, how should he respond?

From his current perspective, he had no reason to refuse. He did not deny Lilith's importance in his heart and was willing to admit his feelings for Lilith.

Besides, this is just a dream, not reality.

Well... this time, let's just agree in one go?

As Lilith walked up to him, Zhu Yufeng suddenly felt relieved. Whether it was the influence of the Eighth Law's power or not didn't really matter. Perhaps it was because he felt regret and guilt for not responding to Lilith that he had this dream.

He is not the same person he was yesterday, yet he still lingers in the past. But ultimately, one must take that step into the future.

Let these past regrets and guilt vanish in this dream.

As Zhu Yufeng was thinking this, he heard Lilith speak with a smile, "You're quite punctual. Hmm, not bad. Let me give you a chance to prepare. At least you didn't just wear a plaid shirt or something to get by."

"After all, you said it was a very important matter, and you told me to pay attention to my attire. How could I possibly wear a plaid shirt?" Zhu Yufeng said, adding something she had never mentioned in her previous life, "I don't have the habit of wearing plaid shirts."

"Then... don't you wonder why I'm looking for you?" Lilith said with a smile.

Zhu Yufeng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

He wanted to just say whether it was a confession or not, but then he felt that was too much of a chore... If the Lilith on the other side were a human, that would be fine... But right now it's just a dream, so he'll just go with the script.

On the other side.

Elysia stood expressionless beside the two with her arms crossed. She was in a slightly bad mood. She had followed Lilith here, and the moment she saw Zhu Yufeng, she confirmed that this was indeed Zhu Yufeng. Then she immediately understood what Lilith wanted to do.

She also knew that, in Zhu Yufeng's heart, she and Lilith were on the same level. Now, with everything repeating itself in this dream, Zhu Yufeng had a chance to start over. Under the influence of the mentality that "it's just a dream anyway," he would definitely respond to the confession that had happened before.

Why didn't she stop it?

Didn't you see that she was standing there while those two people acted as if she didn't exist? Lilith had directly isolated her with her power! In other words, she was now just invisible, unable to do anything but watch!

Zhu Yufeng also said that he really didn't know, Lilith... Lilith was obviously doing it on purpose!

For the first time, Elysia felt a sense of frustration.

But soon, Elysia calmed herself down.

"Anyway... Maple will just treat this as a dream. Even if it's a dream, Lilith's confession in the dream is real..." Elysia said to herself. What else could she do but comfort herself like this?

She doesn't have the powers of the Eighth Lawyer... She's criticizing the Eighth Lawyer by name!

Elysia now somewhat confirms Lilith's earlier conjecture that she is also Origin Lawrence. However, she has no idea that Origin Lawrence can merge the powers of other Lawrs. Did Lilith take all the knowledge of powers that she, as a Lawrence, should have?

Elysia was feeling a little depressed when she suddenly noticed that Zhu Yufeng was looking in her direction, as if he had noticed her presence, but there was no reflection of her in his eyes.

Lilith's expression changed slightly. So this is where the trouble lies... She had absorbed the power of the Eighth Law, and because she and Elysia were both Origin, the two of them, being connected to some extent, would share a certain degree of the Eighth Law's power. Elysia had just unconsciously influenced this dream, briefly breaking her barrier, and thankfully, she had blocked it quickly...

Since it was he who initially annexed the Eighth Law, the main power still resides with him.

Sigh... In that case, there's no way to avoid Elysia when I want to do what I want in my dreams... No, that image doesn't matter, I can just block it again~ Whether Elysia sees it or not is her own business. Although it might greatly shock Elysia and affect her powers, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!

Zhu Yufeng withdrew his gaze. Just now, he felt as if Elysia was beside him, but it was gone in an instant... Was it just an illusion? Since Elysia and Lilith were equally important to him, even if he decided to agree in this dream, he would still consider Elysia to some extent, right?

Lilith took a step back with her hands behind her back, and as she remembered, spoke in a soft, gentle voice. "As you think, as you see, this girl in front of you, your second-in-command, has fallen for you~ Very, very much~"

Even knowing that this was the tone she often used when pretending, it seemed so real at this moment, deceiving those in the underworld, revealing her true feelings only now.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yufeng gave his answer, "First of all, I must apologize for this... In the end, it was you who initiated the confession. And my answer is also clear: although I don't know if I have the right to, I also like you, and you are unique to me."

Although I felt I should say it, after saying it I felt like a real jerk.

Lilith looked at Zhu Yufeng and smiled gently, "Putting aside my initial ill intentions, I'm very satisfied with your answer~"

Only the first sentence, "scheming," surprised her slightly. Sure enough, she only cared a great deal about matters concerning Feng, even though she was already very confident beforehand.

After all, this is what maple leaves are like~

Elysia: "..."

Now that you've said those words, it would be wrong of you to bother her again, wouldn't it? Besides, during the Fifth Law incident last time, Lilith didn't choose to involve Feng in spending time with her. At that time, it was I who took the initiative to formally confess to Feng, and Feng did indeed respond... Oh well, let's just consider this a joke.

Just as Elysia was planning how to settle accounts with Lilith tomorrow and how to get revenge on Feng for the grievances she suffered the previous night, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

"Huh?"

Elysia looked around at the scene and was puzzled. She was indeed very familiar with this scene. After the previous incident, in the city where all life was destroyed by the transformed Seele, Maple confessed to her.

He had asked her out, saying he had something to say. She assumed it was about the fact that Dilu had killed an entire city's inhabitants, which had also greatly affected him. After Kevin had believed in Dilu's humanity, while she had genuinely spent time with Dilu Seele. During that time, others, including herself, Fire Moth him about his relationship with Seele...

Wait a minute, now's not the time to reminisce about these things. Would Lilith really be so kind? And when I meet her later, will it really be Maple?

At the same time, based on her understanding of Lilith, this could also be the time when she and Kevin came here and tried to comfort Kevin... If that's the case, then she might as well beat Kevin up again in her dream this time!

I was the one trying to comfort you and help you get out of the shadows during the incidents of the first and seventh laws, but in the end I found out that you were the first to betray me and support the Feng-Lilith Faction!

This is how you use a Kevin to make a wish. jpg

Ironically, in the beginning, it was Feng who was jealous of her closeness with Kevin, so she spoke to Kevin with veiled barbs. Later... she became jealous of the relationship between Kevin and Feng. She could no longer see Feng, and most of the time she could only convey her thoughts through Kevin.

So, the root of all evil is indeed Kevin, right?

Elysia thought to herself, "Since standing here any longer isn't going to solve anything, and I still remember the place where Maple chose to confess to me, I might as well go and see what happens."

As Elysia looked around the silent city, comparing it to the still bustling city, she couldn't help but recall the regrets of the past.

"If the power of the Origin is truly a wish-granting ability, then perhaps my original wish has already come true?" Elysia looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

She sacrificed herself, returning to the Honkai, praying that the next generation of Minglu would no longer be bound by the Honkai, and thus find their own lives.

But at the same time, she was also praying.

She prayed to start over with him, to hold his hand again, to embrace him once more, so that their destinies would intertwine and never be separated again.

This time, everything truly began anew, and their destinies intertwined once more. He was reborn as a law-bearer just like himself, and she was no longer alone in this world.

They will experience it again, and this time, they will surely be able to transform this world into the way they desire.

"Although this time, it's not just you and me who are reborn, and it's not just me who likes you." Elysia withdrew her gaze and looked at the direction that symbolized the beginning of the separation of the two people's fates in the previous life, "But my liking for you will never change."

There's nothing to be afraid of; just let it go.

As she drew closer to the place where she saw the person, in Elysia's sight, that person stood there, looking at her just as before.

On the other side.

In fact, Zhu Yufeng was also in a completely bewildered state. In his previous dream, he had just accepted Lilith's confession and, at Lilith prompting, kissed her...

Then Lilith suddenly smiled enigmatically and said, "Now it's time for someone else, so don't keep the girls waiting!"

And then... he appeared here...

This is where he first confessed his feelings to Elysia, and of course he won't forget it. He just wants to know why things have turned out this way.

Even if it's a dream, he just agreed to confess to Lilith, and now he's going to confess to Elysia? What kind of utterly despicable work is this?!

Is this really just my dream?

Zhu Yufeng is numb, really numb.

Not far away, on the edge of a building, Lilith sat with her legs crossed and said slowly, "Well, in a way, we really might be sisters, right? So it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to take care of her younger sister~"

The most important thing is to prevent Elysia from being overly resentful tomorrow. If she runs to Mobius to verify her powers, things will get messy.
