The Unforgettable "Fireworks"
(D cup... but Monday.)
Reality, Gasmella Central Academy, Experiment Field No. 69.
When Cheng Shi set foot on the land of Gasmella, the canopy of the World Tree overhead, which blocked out the sun, immediately caught his attention.
What Vitality and vigorous giant tree! Who would have thought that such a robust life could be infertile?
Alas, Destiny...
Etc!
What a lucky Destiny!
Cheng Shi instantly changed his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, the script is almost finished, let's hope nothing goes wrong at this point.
He appeared at Experiment Field No. 69, the place with the highest defense level in the entire Gasmella.
So when they saw a stranger emerge from the Void, the guards approached with grave expressions.
"May I ask who you are...?"
He had barely opened his mouth when Cheng Shi interrupted him.
"I am Leyer, a student of that Scholar over there."
The guard knight frowned and turned around, only to see a Scholar with slicked-back hair turn around in surprise at the sound of the voice at the exit.
But the moment he saw Cheng Shi, his face froze.
The guard knights shouted:
"Scholar Fekor, this one claims to be..."
"Yes!"
The knight was interrupted again, and "Scholar Fekor," his face pale, nodded emphatically.
"He's my student, and he was invited here as well. He probably forgot his ID. You can write it down. He's a student from the Mechanical Engineering Department..."
Cheng Shi quickly replied:
"Leyer, my name is Leyer, teacher, wait for me."
With that, he lifted his leg and ran towards the teacher.
The guard knight smiled and stepped aside to let him pass.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the two of them left Experiment Field No. 69, a place filled with misfortune and bad luck, step by step.
Cheng Shi quickly caught up with Scholar Fekor, whispering behind him:
"Hey Xiaoyan, you're pretty cunning. How did you end up in the real world?"
Weren't you going to witness an Experiment? Why did you leave halfway through?
He looked at Yan Chun with amusement. Yes, this Scholar Fekor was Yan Chun. But he didn't expect Yan Chun's expression to be so complicated. He neither answered Cheng Shi's question nor changed the subject. He just walked forward silently, as if he had been assimilated by Bai Fei.
Cheng Shi his expression, Cheng Shi's eyes lit up, and he understood.
It seems that the Wall Knight heard his own commotion in the Experiment Field and discovered that he was Zhen Yi.
So, just as the alarm was blaring and chaos was about to erupt, he took advantage of the standoff between the three and secretly slipped away.
Unexpectedly, even after sneaking out, I still ran into myself.
Judging from his expression and attitude...
Hmm? Interesting, does he know Zhen Yi?
Cheng Shi suddenly remembered the fear that flashed across Yan Chun's face when she heard the Divine Name of Deception.
So, does that mean the person who caused him such a great loss was actually Zhen Yi?
Oh? What a coincidence?
Am I having good luck today?
Cheng Shi paused for a moment, then secretly twirled the Dice in his pocket. When the Dice stopped rolling, he carefully felt them.
1 o'clock, still 1 o'clock.
"..."
It seems I was overthinking it.
Cheng Shi was amused by his own strange idea.
He pulled his hand away, patted Yan Chun on the shoulder, and was just about to ask, "Don't you recognize me?" when Yan Chun suddenly shuddered and blurted out a bunch of words like beans spilling out.
"I have witnessed an Experiment that met the hard requirements for joining the History School."
In addition, I found a referrer who is a player who, like me, belongs to the "Folly" category. He promised to give me a referral slot.
I'm about to fulfill your request, but you've arrived too early. I don't have any inside information to provide you.
I didn't know you were impersonating this person; I thought he was just an ordinary Fate Weaver...
You... please...
"Let me go."
By the end, Yan Chun's voice had started to tremble.
"..."
Cheng Shi stared at him in disbelief, his mind buzzing.
No, Zhen Yi, what did you do?
Look how scared that child is...
So you were the one who instigated Yan Chun to join the History School?
What are they trying to do?
Stealing internal information?
Yes, that's good, really excellent.
A Folly Wise One always looked down on everyone now bowed his head and looked pitiful like a yes-man before a Deception.
This is so much fun!
Seeing Yan Chun's pitiful appearance, he felt a little sorry for her.
Are you scared?
"I... no, there's too much shade, it's a bit cold, my body is warming itself up."
"..."
Very good, that's very Folly.
"Well, now that you know it's me, how about I help you ease your fear?"
Yan Chun looked up in astonishment, her eyes flashing with fear.
When he met Cheng Shi's mocking eyes, his expression changed, and he immediately turned and ran away, grabbing his lance and continuously erecting Wall of True Knowledge behind him.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The power of fear to Death Amusement Ring can bypass high walls and inevitably strike.
Then...
"Boom--"
The world has lost another Wise One with a squint.
"I've said it before, I, Cheng Shi, never hold a grudge overnight."
Cheng Shi shrugged, lifted his leg forward, and took advantage of the moment to touch the corpse.
He wasn't trying to take anything away, but rather to give something away.
He simply reached out and gently waved his hand over Yan Chun's corpse, and the utterly mangled body transformed into a bouncing skull, which, without a second thought, rushed into the doorway formed by its own skeleton.
"My lord, your repayment is on its way. As for how much you will receive, that depends on you."
He chuckled twice, and before the loud noise caused any chaos, he turned and walked into a dark alley not far away.
Meanwhile, "more than two hundred years later".
Ji Yue fainted.
Nobody knows what happened.
After she drank the bottle of Twin Potion that did not exist in history, she vomited blood and fainted.
This made the already stretched combat strength even worse.
Fortunately, Cui Qiushi's Holy Light Great Wall held up the Great Liang, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath, allowing Fang Shiqing to use the last healing potion to try and save the team's strongest fighter.
But it was only a brief respite.
As time passes, the moment the effect of the Holy Light Great Wall ends may well be the day of death for the four people present.
The flame that Passing the Flame was about to go out.
Do you regret it?
"Um?"
Cui Qiushi, preoccupied with the relentless bombardment, had no time to spare, so it was Fang Shiqing who said those words to Bailing.
Do you regret joining the Fire Keeper?
Bailing paused for a moment, then a bright smile bloomed on her face.
"I feel that the time I spent with Sister Qing and you was the happiest time of my life."
I have no regrets.
No in the past, no now, and no in the future.
"Thank you, thank you for joining us." Fang Shiqing smiled gently, her eyes full of sincerity.
The Bailing smiled even sweeter.
"Thank you, thank you for your invitation."
"Sister Qing... I can't hold on any longer!"
Remember that Skeleton Warrior! Use it on me the moment I fall!
My physique is strong enough to amplify your bones, so that you can survive!
Sister Qing!
You must survive!
A spark may fade, but the Passing the Flame must be passed on!
For our dream new world!
You must survive!
The shield is about to... break!
No sooner had Cui Qiushi finished speaking than the Holy Light Great Wall crumbled.
The cheers and howls that echoed throughout the space reached everyone's ears at that moment.
"The glory of chaos begins now!"
Brothers and sisters, let us toll the death knell for the final Order!
"Fictional Laws is a laughing Cosmos!"
"[Chaos] Forever!"
"┗|`O′|┛ Aww~~"
The Bellicose Knights launched another attack on the Supreme Experiment, while the Doomsday Syndicate scattered around unleashed their pent-up energy.
The Apocalypse depicted by the Believer of "Chaos" for the Fire Keeper seems to be just around the corner.
Just as Fang Shiqing saw countless magical trajectories sweeping across the dome and about to crash into their location, ten dark lights suddenly appeared in her vision, shooting off in all directions at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
In an instant, these dim lights exploded, turning into terrifying black holes that swallowed everything in her field of vision.
"..."
"..."
"..."
It exploded.
A silent explosion is far more awe-inspiring than a loud roar.
The fireworks display, which had been buried for over two hundred years, finally made its appearance at the most crucial moment. Although it was a little late, it was still "timely".
The Annihilation happened so quickly that images of the enemy remained in everyone's eyes.
The Bellringer Knight's charge froze in that instant, and the Doomsday Syndicate's bombardment was momentarily frozen in place.
Cui Qiushi stared blankly at everything in front of him, which seemed to be "frozen" yet also seemed to have long since disappeared, and picked at his Ear.
He felt like he had gone deaf.
They were probably deafened by the enormous "roaring" sound.
Not only him, but even Bailing picked at her Ear in disbelief this time.
But then she heard a weak, feeble voice.
"Silent Arrow..."
She turned around in surprise, only to see that Ji Yue, who was lying in Fang Shiqing's arms, had opened her eyes at some point.
"I never expected..."
The Void Energetics actually used the [Annihilation] technique as a backup plan...
I have never heard of such a secret in the department's historical records...
It turns out... that explosion from the Void wasn't due to the collapse after the Conjugate Whisper burned out...
Rather, it was a trap set up in advance by the department...
Ji Yue, who had just woken up, was shocked by the scene before her. She was shocked by the endless fallacies in history, but she did not know that the "history" in front of her had already been changed by someone who had disappeared from her Memory.
However, it is important to note that even if history is altered, it is still history!
It is a story from the upper reaches of the River of Time, a chapter buried deep in Memory. No matter how many versions it went through before being heard, it will only come to an end and the final chapter be determined when someone knows it.
Therefore, you can say that history has been changed, or you can say that history has never been changed.
It depends on your perspective when looking back at history, and also on whether you were personally involved in the story.
The so-called closed loop of existence, the "Destiny" of history, lies entirely in this.
"Ji Yue!?"
Fang Shiqing quickly helped Ji Yue up, her gaze sweeping around while keeping a close eye on Ji Yue. She asked gravely, while also keeping an eye on the situation:
"You... successfully?"
"Cough cough cough... Thank you, thank you for not abandoning me during the most difficult time..."
"We have placed our trust in each other, we... are partners!" Fang Shiqing said solemnly.
Ji Yue smiled, a smile of unparalleled beauty.
"Yes...
We are companions.
So, my companion...
Can you tell me about this "Passing the Flame" thing you just mentioned?
"..."
Fang Shiqing's expression froze, and she stood there motionless.
