Luo Binhan stood up from his chair. He saw Yaleriga making an action similar to opening the safety catch, but he still didn't fire.
Mi Gula looked down at the crystal ball on his chest and let out a soft sigh as if in amazement.
"This feels so strange, Robin." She said, "I seem to see a lot of things I have never seen before..."
Her dark blue hair floated up, and a nebula-like dreamy brilliance bloomed from the depths of her film-covered pupils. Countless spark-like symbols flickered around her, guarding her like several haloes.
The surprise on Mi Gula's face gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of tranquility that made Luo Binhan's chest tremble.
He looked at the girl anxiously.
"My vision has undergone a qualitative change." Migula said, "The whole world is completely different. It has become very...complex."
Her words made Luo Binhan panic. However, when Mi Gula looked at him, his gentle and happy expression was still the same as before.
She pressed her face and hands against the bubbles and whispered: "When I lived in my grandmother's hut, everything was so simple and vivid, the sky, the grass, the trees, the cattle and sheep... But now I can count them in detail. Each of their microscopic molecular structures and spiritual energy circulation circuits. I can also calculate their evolutionary history from both material and transcendent perspectives. They look equally beautiful now, but they can never return to that image and hazy world... Robin, I think my childhood is over."
Luo Binhan wanted to cover her palm with his left hand, but he could not lift his left arm.
He could only say: "It's okay, I don't like being too young anyway."
Mi Gula looked at him quietly, her eyes filled with joy softer than willow branches in spring.
"But I still feel very happy." She said, "Everything has changed now, but when I read your name, I still have the same feeling as before. Robin, I can see the aging process of every cell in your body , but at the same time, that image and hazy world still remains in you. I am curious what does this mean? "
She traced the outline of the human figure behind the bubbles with her fingers, blood dripping from her mouth and nose.
The ground suddenly shook violently. The world outside the skylight became pitch black, and the sharp and urgent bells wailed endlessly. Yaleriga finally stopped waiting. She raised her gun and fired three rounds. However, all the bullets that flew were bounced off by the spark symbol.
She dropped the gun and picked up the blue scimitar. At this time, a ball of flames burst open the main door of the warehouse.
Jing Huang rushed in from outside the door. His hair was messy, he was covered in dust, and even his left arm was missing.
"Fuck," Luo Binhan said dumbfounded, "Didn't you chase my hand? Why did you chase away all your own unicorn arms? Change the limit for one?"
The little girl in the corner also stood up.
"You came back at this time, Xuan Hong, you better not..."
"Get out!" Jing Huang roared, "Your father will suffocate on the toilet sooner or later!"
He ducked in front of Mi Gula, and the two looked at each other. Luo Binhan saw Jing Huang holding a lily of the valley pen in his right hand.
"Are you the element of fire?" Migula said, "I can't see your structure. But you are hot and bright, like a ball of fire."
Jing Huang looked at her and asked, "Are you a spell weaver?"
"Maybe so." Mi Gula replied thoughtfully, "I have no past events in my memory, and I have no spiritual identity. Can I determine my affiliation based on bloodline alone?"
Jing Huang was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's go, leave this city first."
"Then I will die." Migula said immediately, "My ability is not enough to eliminate Tianjue. Now that it has begun to spread, reinstalling the protein controller is useless. Varuna is calculating a new suppression plan for me. "
"...Do you want all the worlds connected here to bury you with you?"
"No, of course not. Now I feel a close connection between them and me. They give me joy and I shouldn't do that."
Black blood was still seeping out of Mi Gula's facial features, but she seemed to be deep in thought without realizing it. After thinking about it for nearly half a minute, she finally raised her head again.
"I know where to go," she said.
She took the Lily of the Valley pen from Jing Huang's hand, then turned to look at Luo Binhan.
"I've seen life in many forms, Robin," she said. "Now I feel filled with joy. It's my birthright, and I want to continue it. Maybe that means I'll transform into a new one. Life forms, perhaps we will never meet again in the material world... I will continue to think about the question just now. When the journey to the stars reaches the end, I may come back to explain that feeling to you."
She drew a door on the wall, opened it and walked inside. Jing Huang immediately chased after him.
They came to a room in the Anxieqiu Hotel. A broken window faced the blood-red sunset on the island.
However, that is only the scenery in the eyes of mortals.
For the two of them, there is a third space as thin as a cicada's wings but unfathomable on the boundary between indoors and outdoors. It was a gap in the chaotic space and time between stars, a sea of chaos with no rules at all.
"I thought about how I could escape death," Migula explained, "and the only answer was 'random'."
Jing Huang already understood her plan. He closed his eyes and said: "That place is connected to Jiuyuan..."
"But it is also connected to the Moon Realm, the past, the future, and other historical lines... Maybe I will be torn apart immediately, or maybe the disintegration of cause and effect will prevent the concept of Tianjue from operating."
"You know how small the chance of survival is, right? Even your ancestors who knocked on the gate of Jiuyuan are probably not sure of surviving there. How much of the ability you inherited is left?"
"I am different from them." Migula replied, "They are pure seekers, and I... I can't explain it yet. My world used to be just a small house and a sheep, and I haven't really understood it yet. What is the joy of survival, so I completely obey the instructions of my instructor. But things are different now. I think some very unlikely events happened to me, which affected the end of my childhood. That made me..."
She put her hand on her chest in confusion and said, "That changed me. I was no longer that carefree little girl, and I guess... I guess what did that make me want to gain, or give?"
The spark symbols surrounding her began to weaken. So she handed the lily of the valley pen back to Jing Huang and took off the night-blossom hairpin from her head. She was about to hand out the hairpin, but then took it back.
"No, I want to keep this," she said. "He already has a garland."
So she put on her hairpin and fell into the vortex of chaos.
Jing Huang sat on the bed, silently watching the sunset on Essen Island fall behind the mountain. After a while, he opened the door and returned to the warehouse.
At this time, Marin had already begun to cry for the end, while Luo Binhan simply lay on the ground to rest. Jing Huang went over and said to him, "She's gone."
"...Where did you go?"
"have no idea."
Luo Binhan glanced at him, probably taking his words as a death notice. So Jing Huang added: "Her whereabouts are random. She may never come back, or she may be standing next to your bed tomorrow. You'd better pray that the latter situation doesn't happen."
"Why?"
"Because she must have turned into some fucking Chaos Witch or something."
Luo Binhan closed his eyes tiredly. Jing Huang put away the phoenix fire shield, kicked him with his foot and said, "Don't sleep. Get up and follow me to take over."
"What should I pick up?" Luo Binhan said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to switch to a mechanical one?"
"...Then I don't feel good about it."
"It's going to be the end of the world, but I don't care if you're happy or not."
"I don't care if it's the end of the world." Jing Huang said, "You have to let me take over."
In the end, Luo Binhan had to get up from the ground and took over angrily in order to satisfy the other party's obsessive-compulsive disorder. They walked through the dark and chaotic streets (filled with sleeping lizard demons) and found a clinic called Yorutuan. They were greeted by a white cat half as tall as a man.
"I'm not a veterinarian!" He slammed the door arrogantly.
Jing Huang kicked the door open. Ten minutes later, Luo Binhan was sitting on a makeshift human-shaped long table, watching with fear as a group of cats prepared for surgery. In order to relieve his fear, he had no choice but to say to Jing Huang, "I remembered something."
"What's up?"
"You mentioned Zhou Yu when you were talking to those three idiots, right? How could that thing know Zhou Yu?"
Jing Huang froze for a moment, then strode to the table, picked up a bottle and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"What? Cat food?"
"It's a quick-acting sleeping water."
After saying this, Jing Huang waved his right arm, raised his hand and popped the bottle into Luo Binhan's mouth.
