Are You... a Transmigrator? / What Do You Mean by a Surprise?

Ling nodded seriously, then snorted, "After all, my sister said that Ling Xi isn't a good person, and he's also very lewd..."

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi decisively cut off Ling's right to continue speaking, and snorted irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? Pardo and I are just acquaintances, not even friends. As for why I would give her a booster shot..."

"And... I think even so, she probably won't live much longer..."

Thinking of the Herrscher of Restraint that would appear soon, Ling Xi felt helpless. The Herrscher of Restraint bound to appear, and the only way to eliminate it was to overwhelm them with numbers. When the Herrscher of Restraint appeared, let alone Fused Warrior, even ordinary people would probably have to go to the battlefield. As for someone like Pardo...

With typical cannon fodder potential, lacking strong combat capabilities and not being a scientist of significant importance to humanity, it's highly likely that Pardo won't survive the next crisis...

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Ling Xi's expression and tone, Seele also sensed a hint of unease and quickly comforted him, "It's alright, Ling Xi. The Doctor and the others are so powerful, and there's also Sister Elysia and Sister Ying. They are the strongest, so they will definitely be fine!"

"Ah, yes, Seele is right!"

Ling Xi simply smiled and didn't offer any further explanation, after all...

Once the news of the Herrscher of Restraint is made public, then humanity, which is already very fragile, will only become more and more fragile!

So, humanity should just wait patiently, wait for the arrival of the Heralds of Herrscher of Restraint, and wait for humanity's final struggle!

Chapter 440: Is he... a time traveler?

"Hi, Ling Xi, did you miss me?"

In the evening, Elysia returned after completing her day's tasks and went straight to Ling Xi's room.

"Um."

Seeing Elysia, Ling Xi was in a very good mood. She decisively opened her arms to Elysia and said with a smile, "Come on, Elysia, my embrace is always open to you."

Wow, that's so touching!

Elysia exaggeratedly said it, then instinctively hugged Ling Xi and laughed, "Mmm... you smell like Seele and Ling, did you go play with them today?"

"Uh-huh..."

Ling Xi nodded slightly and smiled, "After all, you know how boring it is to kill time alone, so I went to find Seele and Ling to stroll around for a while. By the way, how did today's mission go? No problems, right?"

"It's alright."

Elysia left Ling Xi's embrace and lay down on the bed, saying, "It's nothing more than fighting Honkai Beast. But it seems that because the next Herrscher is about to appear, the frequency of Honkai outbreaks has been getting higher and higher lately. We're actually doing okay here, but it feels like North America, apart from the main cities, is about to fall."

"I see..."

Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully, then fell silent. The Herrscher of Restraint... it seems to be coming soon.

"Oh, right, Elysia."

At this moment, Ling Xi also remembered the purpose of her meeting with Elysia today, and smiled, "Do you know why I came to find you?"

Looking for me?

Elysia thought for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "What else could you do with me besides doing that? Have a long chat about life and ideals?"

"Puff..."

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Ling Xi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What did she mean by saying that all she wanted to do with Alicia was do that? Did she think she was that kind of person?

"Elysia, I have something important to tell you."

Ling Xi rubbed her forehead, then hugged Elysia and placed her beside her, asking earnestly, "Elysia, can you draw?"

"Draw?"

Elysia paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "So... you were influenced by Griseo and suddenly wanted to learn to draw?"

"Um... no, I was just curious about this."

Ling Xi shook his head; after all, he had no interest in drawing or anything like that!

"Then why did you suddenly ask this?"

Elysia looked up and stared intently at Ling Xi, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Because Aponia came to talk to me about some things today."

Ling Xi didn't intend to hide this from Elysia, saying, "You should already know that I only exist in this world, and I absolutely do not exist in other parallel worlds. But just today, when Aponia and Su were using the Thousand Worlds Samsara to observe parallel worlds, they saw you drawing in a parallel world."

"Oh... I see."

Elysia nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "But, as Mobius also said, parallel worlds are not exactly the same, so my ability to draw in another parallel world doesn't seem to have any connection to my ability to draw, right?"

"If it were just that, it wouldn't be a problem, but..."

Ling Xi suddenly became serious and said, "The person you drew on the canvas in the parallel world... is me!"

"What? You?"

Elysia was stunned for a moment, then asked very seriously, "Ling Xi, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"I said it wasn't what I saw, but what Aponia and Su saw."

Ling Xi shook her head and smiled, "However, you should also know them; they would never lie about something like this."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, Elysia was obviously puzzled. Strange, really strange. If Ling Xi was just a unique existence, then why would she still remember Ling Xi in other parallel worlds?

This...

Wait, why do my other parallel universe selves remember Ling Xi this time? This...

There must be some mistake here. Ling Xi shouldn't exist in other parallel worlds, right?

"Elysia, do you know something?"

Seeing Elysia deep in thought, Ling Xi became somewhat curious. Having known Elysia for so long, this was the first time she'd seen her contemplate something so seriously. So...

Clearly, Elysia knows something.

"I'm sorry, Ling Xi, I don't know much either."

Elysia shook her head and smiled wryly, "After all, that's me in a parallel world. Even though I know myself very well, parallel worlds are different. But... I can draw, though I'm not very good at it."

"Yeah?"

Seeing Elysia's serious answer, Ling Xi didn't doubt that she was lying to her, but rather that Elysia really didn't know!

This is not surprising. After all, even a transmigrator with the advantage of the plot doesn't know this, so how could Elysia, as a native being, possibly know it?

"Elysia, it's okay if you don't know. I was just asking out of curiosity."

Since Elysia didn't know, Ling Xi didn't press Elysia further. After all, it wasn't a particularly important matter, since it was something from a parallel world, and right now...

The most important thing for humanity is to help our world survive the crisis of Honkai!

So, since Elysia didn't know, Ling Xi decided not to ask!

"Yes, thank you, Ling Xi."

Seeing that Ling Xi understood her so well, Elysia was also quite happy. She hugged Ling Xi and said with a smile, "Since you're so sensible, I can give you a good reward tonight."

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Ling Xi readily accepted the reward. As for Elysia's reward... to be honest, even though they've been together for so long, Elysia always manages to come up with something new every now and then. That's probably why he never gets tired of Elysia.

Even with such a beautiful wife, even if she always is, I certainly won't get tired of her...

That evening, Elysia didn't go to find Ling Xi immediately, but instead went to Mobius's laboratory...

"Huh? Elysia, why aren't you going to find Ling Xi? What are you doing here?"

Seeing that Elysia had actually come, Mobius was also full of curiosity.

"Are you aware that Mobius, Aponia, and Sue used the Thousand Worlds Samsara to observe parallel worlds?"

At this moment, Elysia did not have her usual cheerful demeanor, but instead appeared somewhat serious.

"Um?"

Seeing Elysia's attitude, Mobius realized that Elysia might be talking about something important, so he didn't dare to be negligent and asked, "Mebius and I approved their use of the Thousand Worlds Samsara, what's wrong?"

"Mobius, you said..."

Elysia looked at Mobius and asked, "Is there any possibility that Ling Xi... isn't a time traveler?"

Chapter 441: What is a surprise?

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Elysia's words, Mobius immediately looked at her with utmost seriousness. Ling Xi wasn't a transmigrator? What a joke! Hadn't Ling Xi already confessed to him about being a transmigrator? And now you're telling me Ling Xi isn't?

No way, is it really true that no one understands Ling Xi better Elysia?

"Hehe, that's just a guess."

Elysia smiled and said, "Mobius, do you remember what you said to me last that night after you observed other parallel worlds?"

"Um?"

After a moment's thought, Mobius asked, "You mean... the statement that Ling Xi might be a transmigrator from outside our parallel universe?"

"Uh-huh."

Elysia nodded and said, "When you first said that parallel worlds don't exist for Ling Xi, I also thought about that. But today, Ling Xi told me something interesting: in another parallel world, I... drew a portrait of Ling Xi."

"What?"

Mobius was immediately surprised and asked, "When? How did Ling Xi know?"

"It was Aponia and Sue who observed it."

Elysia shrugged and laughed, "Didn't you say that the two of them said they weren't good at fighting, so they spent all their time guarding Thousand Worlds Samsara, trying to find a way to fight the Honkai by observing other parallel worlds? In the end... they didn't find a way, but instead found some clues about Ling Xi possibly existing in other parallel worlds."

"I see. Then why didn't they report this to me?"

Thinking about this, Mobius was also a little annoyed. He knew that Ling Xi's matter was very important to him, but the two of them actually told Ling Xi but not him. What was even more infuriating was that after Ling Xi found out, she actually chose to tell Elysia but not him. What was going on?

"Heh, they're probably afraid of delaying your research, right?"

Elysia naturally knew what Mobius was thinking, and smiled, "After all, matters of parallel worlds are ultimately secondary. What's most important for us humans right now is fighting against the Honkai, so there are reasons why I didn't tell you, after all..."

At this point, Elysia also complained, "If I told you about Ling Xi, you would definitely be distracted and investigate."

Mobius "..."

Mobius did not refute these words, after all, for him, the Honkai, the evolution of humanity, and Ling Xi were all equally important at the moment!

As for Klein... he's second only to Ling Xi!

"Then why are you telling me now?"

Mobius stared at Elysia with some curiosity. Since this fairy had said that telling him might affect the research, she still told him anyway.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just wanted to say..."

Elysia smiled slightly, "Our Ling Xi will always be our Ling Xi. Although I don't know why Ling Xi doesn't exist in other parallel worlds, I have a terrifying guess: Ling Xi didn't never exist in the first place, but disappeared for some reason. And this disappearance is not just a physical disappearance, but also..."

Elysia remembered what Ling Xi had said before: that her counterpart in another parallel world didn't remember Ling Xi, but only drew Ling Xi based on her feelings, so...

Elysia said quietly, "Those memories that disappeared from the rules, and that he had when he Ling Xi, also seem to have disappeared from our minds in this parallel world, Mobius, do you understand what I mean?"

Two possibilities!

Mobius stated directly, "First, there is only one Ling Xi, and the Ling Xi of our world came from another parallel world. Therefore, in some parallel worlds, even if Ling Xi disappears, some traces will still remain, such as the painting you just mentioned. Second..."

"Second!"

Before Mobius could finish speaking, Elysia added, "Ling Xi exists in a normal parallel world just like us, but... for some reason, all the Ling Xi in the parallel worlds disappeared, leaving only the Ling Xi in our world!"

At this moment, the two were in perfect sync, after all, this concerned Ling Xi, and it was a very important matter!

If it's the first possibility, then it means that Ling Xi might also disappear from this world in the future and go to other parallel worlds. Moreover... this is also what Mobius thinks is the most likely, because Ling Xi said that he saw the humans in parallel worlds fail to fight against the Honkai, and he also perfectly predicted future events!

Therefore, Ling Xi may have actually experienced what they are experiencing now, and if they fail, Ling Xi will go to another parallel world. Whether Ling Xi goes there voluntarily or involuntarily, they don't know, but Mobius is more inclined to believe the latter...

Because Ling Xi doesn't seem to know how he came to be in this world either!
