How many pages are left in your " Hundred Lifetimes Book "?
Black Keke gave a somewhat subtle look. "What do you mean?"
"I don't think there's any need to explain, right?"
Jiang Si was getting impatient. "Reincarnation? Death rewind? Or whatever you want to say, you must have restarted many times."
No need to hide it, I can tell.
"Why can you tell?"
"Intuition."
Black Keke sighed and scratched her head. "I don't understand. This is clearly my biggest secret."
Jiang Si pushed open the door. "Come in."
As she stepped into the room, Black Keke stared blankly at the layout of the house for a moment.
Then a nostalgic expression appeared on her face. "It's actually exactly the same as when Mom and Dad were alive?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Just as you said, I've reopened it many times. After my parents died, the room was emptied out in no time. All the familiar things were gone, and it was renovated to look unfamiliar, with strangers moving in—"
Black Keke glanced at Keke's bedroom again, raising her voice slightly, as if deliberately wanting Keke to hear, "People who haven't experienced it will probably never understand. Losing your parents, having your last memories of them erased bit by bit, familiar places becoming strange, and gradually, even the proof of their existence disappearing."
The voice murmured, then faded, "It's like being abandoned by the world. You feel like there's no place in this vast world where you feel safe or warm. No matter how big your house is or how many friends you have later, you'll always feel like you're still a wanderer."
"The Sorrow of Blood, is it? You brat, are you?"
Snap! Snap!
"You still haven't hit her enough." Jiang Si slapped her twice more, causing Black Keke to revert from Bloodlust to Blood Rage mode. "If I hit her too much, she'd be constantly yelling about escaping her family."
Black Keke stomped her foot immediately, "Don't interrupt my flow of emotions!"
Jiang Si raised her hand.
Black Keke immediately crouched down as a reflex.
Go sit over there.
Obediently, Jiang Si told him to sit down on the sofa opposite in the hall.
Then, as usual, he took off his shoes and curled up on the sofa.
"You really think this is your home?" Jiang Si banged on the table. "Put your shoes on!"
He immediately sat up and put his shoes on.
"Look at what you're wearing."
Jiang Si nearly smashed the table with her fist, "What kind of clothes are these? What kind of hair accessories are these? And what is this—"
"Ms. Shion has already scolded us," Black Keke said innocently. "Can we skip that?"
"Are you getting impatient?"
Jiang Si tapped her forehead, then turned to the bedroom and said, " Keke, if you ever dress like this again, I'll break your legs!"
"I would never dress like that! Besides, it has nothing to do with me, why are you dragging me into this!"
This is to give you a heads-up.
"I don't need you to give me a heads-up----"
Keke muttered something rebellious to herself over there, while Jiang Si rubbed her forehead.
They're all such a handful.
Black Keke raised her hand somewhat shyly, "Actually, my outfit is quite conservative----"
"Where's the conservatism?" Jiang Si casually picked up Coco's Keke jacket from the hanger and tossed it over. "Put your clothes on before you talk."
After obediently getting dressed, Black Keke sat up straight and looked at Jiang Si, "Is this alright?"
2
"Alright."
Then the girl chuckled softly, "It feels good to be managed by others."
He took the water glass Jiang Si handed him, then thought for a moment, "Talking about it slowly feels too tiring. How about we see for ourselves what I've been through?"
Jiang Si shook her head. "No, it's quicker and more convenient to just use soul searching."
What is soul searching?
"It means you share some of your memories with me," Jiang Si said, extending her hand, "The price being a little strain on your brain and Personal Reality."
"That means he's going to lose his memory!"
"You won't lose your memory."
"That's alright----"
"It will directly lead to dementia."
"What a load of rubbish!"
Black Keke immediately shrank into a corner, clutching her head tightly, her face pale. "No, absolutely not!"
Jiang Si nodded, but didn't make it a requirement.
After all, his Soul Skill were not yet perfect, and it would be a loss if he could only find a bunch of brains.
Black Keke let out a breath and glanced at the bedroom behind her.
Keke, Xiao An, Yiyi were all there. She clutched her chest, smiling as if she felt warmth, "Let's all come together. Anyway, it doesn't matter if everyone knows."
"Ta-da! Keke's past revealed - it might be a little long, please be patient and read it all."
Jiang Si sensed that she seemed to have opened her Mental Image Domain.
Then, the scene inside the house changed.
The room was originally full of furniture, brimming with life and happiness.
It instantly became cold and empty.
Little Keke, all alone in the room, was being pushed around by her relatives.
"They stayed at my house for four days longer than last time; it should have been your family taking care of them!"
"Last month we kept our pets for six extra days. Oh, you didn't mention it, but this month you can't even handle keeping them for four extra days?"
"When we were dividing the property, you were like a dog, barking louder than anyone else. Now that I've been letting you support me, you're starting to complain?"
"Don't change the subject, you didn't break up with him back then, did you?"
Little Keke swayed back and forth, her expression numb and blank, as if she didn't know where she was.
The Heavenly Numbers she would eat at someone's house and sleep at someone's house was strictly planned, and no one was willing to put in extra effort to support her for a few more days.
You don't need to say it out loud; you can feel their disdain just from their eyes and attitudes.
When she got sick, no one cared about her or even showed concern, afraid of spending money on her. She had to endure it all by herself, and even getting medicine was a problem.
The clothes were never replaced, and the shoes were worn out after a year, looking like they had been thrown away in a garbage dump. Relatives just said they were still wearable.
No one will care about her birthday anymore; she'll just look forward to it on her own, only to find that no one cares on this day, and there will be no more surprises or good things happening.
Everyone thought she was a burden.
"Why didn't she die with her parents back then?!"
Then, as if by habit, or perhaps unintentionally, a few words were uttered that caused the girl's tears to stream down her face.
He turned and rushed outside.
No one stopped her, and no one called out to her.
Since then, Keke has never visited her relatives again, wandering alone outside.
No one will look for her.
Finally, little Keke went to the grave where her parents were buried—and hugged her parents' tombstones, crying all the while.
I don't want to go anywhere else.
Keke watched over Little Keke's experiences, much of her previous resentment and disgust vanished in an instant.
Just as Keke his parents' gravestones for several days, they finally encountered bad weather.
The torrential rain submerged Keke, Keke, soaked to the bone, curled up like a stray cat, shivering as if trying to warm herself against the tombstone.
But in reality, it will only get colder.
Moreover, the grave is located in a very remote place, so no one will find it, and there is a child there.
For little Keke, dying in front of her parents' graves might actually be a good thing.
Until someone held an umbrella for her.
"You can't sleep here, you'll catch a cold."
It was a girl even younger than Keke, squatting beside her, holding an umbrella, constantly wiping the rain from Keke's face, trying to help her up. "Where do you live? Do you want me to take you home?"
Little Keke just kept shaking her head.
"Then come to my house?"
This was Keke's first meeting with the pink magical girl, Yinlian.
After that, Keke joined the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau with Yinlian and made many magical girl friends.
Captain Yinlian led everyone in throwing her a surprise birthday party; she worried about her health when she was sick; Captain Yinlian would even drag her shopping to buy her new clothes.
Under the loving care of Yinlian and the other magical girls, Keke gradually emerged from her gloom and, because of her admiration for Yinlian, developed the same desire to protect everyone.
In the end, Keke also became a magical girl, working with everyone to continuously defeat the Calamity Beast and protect the world.
Until the end comes.
The world is being destroyed day by day, and the Calamity Beast are becoming more and more powerful and rampant.
Beihai gradually fell to the enemy, and before Beihai fell, the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was the first to suffer casualties.
A large number of S-class Calamity Beast have besieged the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
Finally, An Shiyu and Mujin's self-destruction at Full Bloom bought everyone a chance to retreat.
Not long after, Susan, Hyacinth, Peony also met the same fate.
The once warm place was shattered once more. Yinlian, with Xiao Keke, protected the citizens of Beihai and did everything in her power to retreat to headquarters.
Because everyone believed that the headquarters was the last safe place, the last line of defense for humanity.
As a result, the headquarters had already fallen and been occupied by the Calamity Beast.
What I remember after that is vague.
Only the image of Yinlian dying in battle, Black Keke holding Yinlian's body and crying incessantly in the rain, is particularly clear.
Then, they were submerged in the wave of Calamity Beast.
As Black Keke dies, the scene gradually fades into darkness.
"They stayed at my house for four days longer than last time; it should have been your family taking care of them!"
"Last month we kept our pets for six extra days. Oh, you didn't mention it, but this month you can't even handle keeping them for four extra days?"
"When we were dividing the property, you were like a dog, barking louder than anyone else. Now that I've been letting you support me, you're starting to complain?"
"Don't change the subject, you didn't break up with him back then, did you?"
The sound came before the visuals even appeared.
When the screen returned to normal, Black Keke was standing in her empty house again, watching her two relatives arguing.
After only a moment of stunned silence, she immediately understood what had happened.
I've gone back to the past, and I can start over again.
She turned and ran outside, shouting as she ran, "I will save everyone! This time, I definitely will!"
The next moment, the entire screen disappeared, leaving only four large characters.
To be continued.
Everyone returned to the house.
After a brief silence, Keke was the first to push open the bedroom door, anxiously shouting, "And then what? And then what?!"
Yinlian: "That's right, we can't end it here! We were just about to start over and turn the tide, how could it just end like this!"
Mujin: "I've been holding back for so long, it's time to let loose! You cut it off! You won't let us see what happens next, or I'll fight you!"
Jiang Si touched her chin and pondered for a long time.
"Your three golden chapters aren't very good. You wrote too much in your previous life, and the readers didn't have the patience to read to the end. So, you're starting a new one."
Black Keke had originally planned to play the victim, suddenly felt weak all over.
"Don't you feel sorry for me?! And Jiang Si, you started daydreaming halfway through!"
"I told you, the prelude to death is too long; generally, people will lose focus—"
"Then you're invincible."
Black Keke slumped onto the sofa, looking utterly dejected. "Whatever. Anyway, what follows is just countless cycles of reincarnation, endlessly searching for a way to save everyone."
Keke asked instinctively, "Did it work?"
Silence fell over the room, Keke suddenly felt a little awkward.
If she had succeeded, she wouldn't be here now.
Oh no, I asked a pointless question; now I'm going to be considered an idiot.
"However, the more times you reincarnate, the more you realize one thing." Black Keke looked at Jiang Si, and the room went dark once again.
Images of the world being ended by different Enemy of the End surfaced.
Sometimes the entire Beihai is swallowed up in white mist, transforming into a gigantic vine monster that scatters dormant seeds across the world;
Sometimes, Disaster Countermeasures Bureau fall one area after another until all the magical girls become parasitic puppets of the Gu worms;
Sometimes, the Mental Image Remnants open a portal on the vast ocean, and countless nearly Full Bloom green magical girls descend with an endless wave of Mirror Beast—
These were all things Jiang Si had run over before but had little memory of, yet they all possessed the ability to destroy the world.
"The future is immutable. No matter how hard I try, the final outcome will be the same. The form of the end will constantly change: Calamity Beast, World Ghost, fallen magical girls, enemies from other worlds, curses, viruses, or simply the collapse of the world. My efforts have only added a few more forms to the end."
"It seems there's an extra, enormous amount of Filthy Magic Power within each destruction." Jiang Si keenly noticed something. "What is that?"
"You'll see the terrible despair, the absolute evil of humanity, later."
Jiang Si didn't pay any attention, but simply stood up and said, "You need [ Variable ]."
"[ Variable ], a very apt way of putting it, yes, yes, [ Variable ]." Black Keke nodded in strong agreement. "Countless cycles have passed, but only this time has someone like you, who never existed before, emerged. But it's hard to say. Sometimes, a new Enemy of the End is born suddenly, not existing within the cycle of reincarnation. So, you might be the key to changing the future, or you might be the new Enemy of the End."
Jiang Si pushed Keke, Yinlian, and An Shiyu back into the house and closed the door.
Then he turned to look at Black Keke, "Where's Shion?"
As he spoke, he kept a close eye on Black Keke's expression, sensing the fluctuations in her Personal Reality.
The girl smiled naturally. "She's someone I haven't met in previous reincarnations either. In every respect, the probability that Shion is the new Enemy of the End Enemy of the End much higher than that of you."
So what brings you here?
"Of course, I want to cooperate with you to completely resolve the inevitable end of the world."
Black Keke became serious and leaned closer to Jiang Si. " Shion took the Time Branch that I and a group of magical girls worked so hard to retrieve from the World Tree. It was meant to change the future. As long as there are people like you who aren't recorded in the World Tree's history, you can use the Time Branch to change the future and save us from our predetermined destruction."
"So, I hope you can persuade Shion, or by some other means—steal it or rob it—to take the Time Branch back from Shion's hands—"
"What if she's not on the record either? Let her change the ending of the world."
"The so-called hope of magical girls is actually just a tiny reflection of despair escaping from the mire of despair," Black Keke chuckled softly. "She can't do it, as long as she's still a magical girl."
"Not to mention."
Black Keke's eyes flashed. "She might also be the new Enemy of the End."
Jiang Si was completely relieved.
This guy really doesn't know the specific events that happened in the [ False History ].
They probably only obtained information from the False History that Shion obtained the Time Dao Fruit ----
After all, it was Lu Ya who created this " False History," so it's normal for her to be wary of her partner.
"In short, as long as you can retrieve the Time Branch and combine it with our witch-transformation technology, we will definitely be able to save the world!"
"You'll have to pay more."
"----ah?
The older brother and Black Keke talked about something, but after they closed the door, Keke couldn't hear them talking anymore in the bedroom.
It's probably because Black Keke used magic to soundproof it.
However, Keke is much more tolerant now.
Having witnessed firsthand what happened to Black Keke when she was a child, she could no longer feel disgusted by it.
Without my brother, I'd probably end up pretty much the same way.
Looking back now, even with her older brother, if he had been even slightly weaker and had yielded to her relatives, her fate wouldn't have been much better.
As long as my brother is there, I'll never be like Black Keke, a homeless orphan. I can always feel at ease knowing that in this world, there's another person connected to me by blood, accompanying me and taking care of me.
It's so great to have you here, bro.
After feeling relieved, he looked at Yinlian again.
The pink-clad magical girl suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Thank you, Captain Yiyi."
Keke hugged the little captain and rubbed her face against Yinlian's, "I knew the captain was the best!"
" The Yinlian on Black Keke's side isn't me, it has nothing to do with me, don't be like that!"
"Anyway, if I were like that, Captain Yiyi would definitely take care of me in the same way, right?"
"No one can confirm something that hasn't happened yet."
"I don't care, I don't care, Captain Yiyi is the best!"
Mujin immediately grabbed Keke's hand, "What about us? What about us? We self-destructed twice for you guys!"
An Shiyu said helplessly, "Senior, that has nothing to do with us, does it?"
"What are you saying, Xiao An? We did it!"
Before An Shiyu could object, Keke hugged her back, holding both Yinlian and An Shiyu in her arms. Keke said contentedly and happily, "Of course, An Shiyu is great too, Keke likes her too!"
"Wait, Keke, you're not going to support her, are you?"
"No, no, I'll definitely support Yiyi first."
"It can't just be about giving me priority! It's about wholeheartedly supporting me!"
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"Don't try to fool me!"
The three of them were making a lot of noise, and since they couldn't hear the conversation outside, they ended up entertaining themselves.
They huddled together on the bed and watched TV for a while, Keke also shared some comics.
Everyone scrutinized the kissing scene, analyzing what positions they should use when kissing their older brother.
Keke also happily dug out several other romance comics from under the bed and shared the beautiful kissing scenes with Yiyi and An Shiyu.
Senior Mujin kept asking her if she had taken it any further.
As a result, Xiao An retaliated with a punch.
In short, Senior Mujin seemed particularly repressed.
They played around like that until night, and it seemed like the older brother and Black Keke hadn't finished their conversation.
While playing, they chatted about the start of school. Keke felt like a long time had passed, but in reality, the holiday wasn't over yet.
Time is passing quite slowly.
They talked about the university they would attend in the future, and about the older brother's future love life. Ever since breaking up with Teacher Shion, the older brother has been surrounded by more and more girls, which makes Keke very uneasy.
She hoped Yinlian would take the initiative and win over her brother as soon as possible.
When Yinlian felt a little embarrassed, Keke encouraged An Shiyu to take the initiative as well.
As it turned out, An Shiyu said she had already confessed her feelings.
Even her older brother confessed his feelings to her.
Yinlian and Keke were both dumbfounded when they heard this.
However, both confessions occurred while Shion- sensei was still alive.
So there are roughly some reasons.
Although An Shiyu insisted that it was a voluntary confession from both sides, Yinlian and Keke ultimately felt that it probably wasn't.
However, I gained a deeper understanding of the fact that my brother was a womanizer.
Perhaps the guy himself doesn't realize it.
He's attracted far too many girls, which sometimes worries Keke —what if her brother gets dismembered by them someday?
She had seen similar scenes in comics she had read before.
Because they both liked the same boy and didn't want to give up, yet didn't want to share him, they ended up dismembering him, one piece for each of them.
Although it's just a comic and it's quite bizarre, comics are no joke; they are projections of reality.
If he keeps picking on girls like this, getting dismembered isn't out of the question.
Furthermore, with Shion- sensei present, even if my older brother is incredibly powerful, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Lost in thought, he eventually got tired of playing with An Shiyu and Yinlian and fell asleep on the bed.
She was woken up by the urge to urinate, and it was already past midnight when she got up.
An Shiyu huddled in the corner, quietly hugging her doll, curled up there like a cute kitten.
Senior Yinlian was different. Although she was short, about the same height as Teacher Shion, her sleeping posture was rather unsteady, with half of her body pressed against her own.
I feel like An Shiyu is more suitable for my older brother. Yiyi, with that sleeping posture, he'll throw you off the bed!
She was still half asleep when she got up to go to the bathroom.
When I went to get a drink after using the restroom, I bumped into the guy coming downstairs.
He wore a new suit.
I don't know when I bought it, but it's so clean and handsome, like a groom.
Yiyi would be absolutely mesmerized if she saw it.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I need to use the restroom; I'm a little thirsty."
She recalled that before they became magical girls, even if the two of them met, they would never speak to each other.
Now, my brother will take the initiative to start conversations.
She recalled Black Keke's lonely, empty, cold, and terrifying house, and a mix of emotions welled up inside her. Then she whispered, "Brother, what do you think of Black Keke?"
"How about it?" Jiang Si for a moment, "Same as you."
What do you mean by "just like me"?
"If you end up like her, don't blame me for disciplining you on behalf of Mom and Dad."
You just said we're the same, bro, why are you having this internal conflict between your left and right brains?
"In short, let her stay here for a while."
Keke have reacted strongly to that last sentence before.
But now, he just nods and says, "Oh, okay, she's had a tough time without a brother, let her enjoy this."
Unexpectedly, my brother stopped talking.
I thought my brother would instinctively add a comment, reminding me to cherish my current life.
Happiness is always relative.
In response, Jiang Si simply shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
Not knowing what her brother meant, Keke just kept her head down and took another sip of water.
When she was about to go back to her room to sleep, she saw her older brother about to leave, but she didn't say anything.
After all, she had kept asking him, which had probably annoyed her brother, so Keke decided to stop asking him what he was doing from now on.
However, when Jiang Si opened the door, he still asked in a low voice, "Brother."
"Hmm? What's wrong now?"
It's nothing, I just feel so happy when I call out to you and you respond.
Of course, he couldn't say such a thing, so after thinking for a long time, he asked another question about something he cared about a lot.
"Brother, does not relying on you mean I've grown up?"
Jiang Si paused at the doorway, turned her head, and seemed to ponder for a moment, "Does this count as growing up?"
Don't answer questions with questions!
Jiang Si nodded. "I think it's a matter of species evolution."
"----What does 'evolution of species' mean?! Don't make it sound like I was a plankton before!"
Keke protested softly, a little annoyed, "Anyway, I've grown too."
"Um."
After saying that, the older brother opened the door and went out.
So Keke peeked halfway out of her pajamas from her sleeve and waved a little, "Be careful on the road, brother."
Go to bed early.
"Knew."
After the door closed, Keke didn't want to go back to her bedroom to sleep. She turned on the TV and, as usual, curled up on the sofa to watch it.
Bingtang Tang, a senior student from the Ice-Colored Group, is about to hold a huge wedding ceremony for her uncle. It is said that she has rented the entire square in the center of Beihai Park. She is currently setting up and promoting the ceremony, inviting everyone to join the festivities.
It's good to be rich.
Keke tilted her head, looking at the report on TV, wondering if she could save enough money to host a big party for her older brother's wedding. However, she thought about how her sister-in-law had changed a lot, from Yiyi to An Shiyu.
In the end, in a hazy dream, the person standing next to my brother was still Teacher Shion.
Ms. Shion said she was too rebellious and living together would be too much trouble, so she asked her older brother to move out with her.
They bought a huge villa and left her in this cold, empty, and completely bare house.
Keke was startled awake.
As I got up and wiped the sweat from my brow, I glanced outside and saw that it was already daylight.
I'm going to wash up and get ready for breakfast.
Then she discovered that Yinlian had also come out of the bedroom. She vaguely saw her, then suddenly became alert, gave an awkward, dry laugh, nodded, and kept her distance.
Keke paused for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that Keke gets upset when I talk to you----"
"What do you mean Keke will be unhappy if I talk to her? I am Keke."
"Yes, that's right----"
Seeing Yinlian's troubled expression, Keke felt a strange sense of unease.
" Yiyi, you haven't mistaken me for someone else, have you?"
"Of course not," Yinlian said earnestly. "You are the president of the Witch Association, Black Keke."
"Stop joking, I'm Keke!"
Yinlian blinked, then dashed back to her bedroom.
Immediately afterwards, Black Keke and An Shiyu came out of the bedroom, rubbing their eyes. "Why are you shouting so loudly? Is the president of the Witch Association so rude? Can't you be a little quieter in the morning?"
An Shiyu: "Although everyone sympathizes with you, you shouldn't disturb everyone's rest, President Black Keke."
Mujin: "We just had a wonderful dream about Jiang Si, how are you going to keep me company—"
Keke remained silent for a while, then took a deep breath.
It's over----
I've become a stand-in!
