When Vivian comes back.
Night has fallen quietly, and the curtains on the sky are low.
The afterglow of dusk was unknowingly replaced, and the magnificent sky faded into the deep darkness of night. At this moment, the sky seemed to be covered by a huge lead sheet, dense and oppressive, with thick clouds flowing slowly in the endless sky.
Like a gray and gloomy picture.
Under the curtain of the dark night, the girl walked directly towards her residence. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something seriously.
The sky was hazy, with faint thunder.
This kind of weather didn't bother her very much.
Orkney is located at the northernmost point of the Elf Kingdom. It is poorer and less prosperous than other clan countries, but it is also a peaceful and stable country because of this. At the end of this world, there stands the huge World Tree, and it rains most of the year.
Vivian has long been accustomed to such a climate.
On the contrary, sunny and bright weather like today is relatively rare here.
What she liked most was to be alone in the library with no one around on a rainy day.
Through the window, she could see the gray sky. Hear the gentle trickling of rain. Among the many books in the collection, I began to explore not the end of Britain, but a new beginning - the means to save the goblins who were tortured by guilt.
In the dark but warm library, like a child sitting at the table reading fairy tales, she described the "ideal country" in her dreams.
The girl paused for a moment, raised her eyes and took in the extremely familiar palace, every plant and every tree in front of her.
She clenched her fists gently, as if she was making up her mind or cheering herself up. Although the emerald green pupils reflected mottled shadows, they could not hide the shining light deep in her heart——
That is the most pure and untainted hope.
Extremely pure.
Flawless.
only……
High in the sky shrouded by dark clouds, the power of thunder seemed to be brewing. From time to time, faint thunder could be heard from the distant sky, like the heartbeat of the earth, heralding an upcoming storm.
Under the hazy sky, her figure also dragged out a long shadow under the faint flash of thunder, and disappeared into the endless darkness.

the other side.
Xia Zhi spent a while and returned to Vivian's residence again.
His eyes fell on the closed door, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then walked straight through the wall and walked into the house. Like a ghostly phantom, unaffected by physical reality, it can neither touch nor be hindered by physical objects.
This scene is undoubtedly very strange...
As for how this phenomenon occurs and why it occurs...
——In this regard, Xia Zhi himself is also confused and has no idea at all.
Even he himself was not mentally prepared for such a sudden change, and naturally he could not find the answer in a short time. Although there are many speculations and conjectures surging in my heart, there are insufficient clues and information to verify them.
The room was still as empty as ever, maintaining the deserted scene just now.
The girl hasn't come back yet.
Xia Zhi wandered around the house aimlessly several times, feeling more and more strange and alienated from his own situation. He seemed to be losing contact with the reality of this world, becoming two parallel lines that did not intersect.
For this world, it seems to be a non-existent existence, unable to touch or affect anything, just like when it fell downstairs... Maybe the same is true for the mobile phone, I don't know where it fell.
——Perhaps it passed through the foundation of the palace and sank deep into the soil?
——Or, did he fall into the deeper and unknown area beneath the earth’s surface?
After all, if material obstacles really no longer exist for him, then everything is essentially a virtual image. Whether it is a magnificent palace building, or the land, rock layers, etc. underneath it, theoretically it should indeed be no difference.
This is when Xia Zhi wandered down and searched for several times, but couldn't find the phone, so he couldn't help but have such doubts.
As for the specific situation, it can only remain in the speculation stage at present, and a definite answer cannot be obtained yet.
Therefore, he did not act recklessly alone, but decided to return to Vivian's residence and wait for the girl to return before making a decision. In any case, it is always wise to be more cautious when facing this unknown phenomenon.
Who can predict whether this phenomenon will be stable and lasting, or whether it will suddenly return to its physical form?
Just imagine, when you go deep underground, if you return to normal without warning...
Gee, that death must be ugly.
It is precisely because of such doubts that when he goes upstairs again, he pays special attention to choosing a regular path instead of randomly walking through the wall.
Walking back and forth in the room pretending to be familiar with this strange experience and feeling, Xia Zhi's expression looked very strange.
Maybe this is an out-of-body experience?
Although he has a lot of weird and messy experiences, but in terms of being a ghost, he is undoubtedly a newbie, one who has no experience at all... It's not that he has never experienced death, it's just that he has never experienced it. It remains in the world in this form.
Is it the law of the original world that determines that the soul cannot continue after death, or is it that every death triggers an instant restart of the time and space cycle...
Not sure about this either.
Anyway, there are many ways to die, but there is no experience at all after death.
…………
Time is like sand, slipping quietly in silence.
Until the long-suppressed haze in the sky finally erupted in a bolt of lightning that pierced the sky, and dull thunder rolled across the earth.
At the same moment, the night rain began to pour down.
Just at this moment, the door of the house was gently pushed open. Vivian walked in briskly, holding a tray in her hand.
She first looked around, and then her eyes rested on the young man sitting quietly at the table: "You actually have the patience to not wander around... Come and have something to eat."
"Is there a possibility that I went out and came back..."
Xia Zhi watched the girl's calm demeanor and saw her walking over and placing the tray on the wooden table in front of her, which was filled with various fruits.
Some know it, and some don’t.
The former may be part of the similarities between parallel worlds, and the latter is probably this world, or is it a unique specialty of this fairy country?
"You are still an ordinary person now, so you probably still need to eat, so I brought you some food..." Vivian explained a little embarrassedly, "But for the time being, it's only fruit, nothing else."
"Because goblins don't actually need to eat. Their daily dining habits, including banquets and other occasions, are actually an imitation of human lifestyles. So even in the palace, there won't be a lot of food reserves."
"It's okay to ask them to prepare, but it's a little late now. I didn't eat at night before, so it's easy to attract attention...especially since something like that just happened today, the princess and the others are more concerned about it."
The girl is really attentive.
This is not only reflected in her thorough consideration, but also in her knowing how to avoid behavior that may attract the attention of others during sensitive periods.
"..."
"..."
"Thank you..." Xia Zhi looked at the fruits on the tray and decided to thank you first, then slowly shook her head, "But I may not be able to eat now."
"Why?" Vivian showed a trace of confusion.
"Look -" Xia Zhi coughed, cleared her throat, and reached for a fruit, "That's it, there's nothing I can do... Huh?"
His words that ended abruptly were hanging in the air, and his fingertips truly felt the touch and weight of the red fruit, and he actually grasped it.
"..."
"..."
"So, what do you want me to see?"
The girl glanced at the other person suspiciously. She carefully thought about it in her mind, but she couldn't figure out what the person wanted to express.
"Sorry, please wait."
Xia Zhi stretched out her hand to make a pause gesture, then put down the fruit and started groping on the wooden table strangely. He was shocked to find that he had unknowingly regained his connection with the real world.
His thoughts were like lightning, and he immediately turned his eyes and looked directly in Vivian's direction.
Judging from the current situation——
Whether he is by Vivian's side is the key factor that determines the change of status?
Could it be said that only through her observation did her existence have a relatively stable foothold in this world?
Well, if that's the case, that's one more reason to collaborate.
And it’s an irresistible reason to refuse.

Time: Unknown.
Location: A desolate Britain.
In the dark night, the silver-haired figure was still busy, speeding up the collection of information on the destroyed disaster wasteland, while constantly analyzing Chaldea's spirit transfer technology.
It is a technology that transports the user to different timelines and phases in the form of a spirit. It has also been proven to be a method of space navigation.
Because it involves the fields of time travel and parallel worlds, even for a genius magician like her who has stepped into the divine realm, it is still a relatively challenging task to analyze it in one night...
However, it may be some kind of mysterious luck and blessing.
——She succeeded.
The next step is to accurately calculate the time point to be sent back and confirm the status of the spirit son's transfer destination. In Chaldea's operations, these steps require mobilizing all supercomputers to perform calculations and inserting hypothetical equations into them to accurately correct history.
But she doesn't need to, she can complete this step by herself...
This is the simplest step, especially if you have obtained the required "medium".
She has analyzed the reason for the destruction of this world, or rather the history - it was an inhumane massacre, because the four fairy clans jointly attacked, wiping out the fairy clan hiding "herself" in one night.
The "self" of this world also died in this massacre.
Nothing was accomplished.
Then, a great disaster struck, and because no one could resist, the Fairy Kingdom ushered in destruction.
What a ridiculous reason!
She spurned such an ending, and did not admit it. With a firm attitude without hesitation, she stepped into the light called spirit transfer, which was actually time travel.
In this line of work, there is no doubt that she will be shattered to pieces...
But all information will be entrusted to "myself" in this world...
Britain's ending will surely be rewritten!

Fairy country.
Onik.
It was late at night and everything was still, except for the patter of rain that never stopped.
On the summer solstice, I was in an unused room, leaning against the window sill, looking at the gloomy night rain outside, constantly counting and calculating the time in my heart. Because the mobile phone has not been found yet, we can only estimate the time in this way.
His day should be coming to an end, and the ending is about to be revealed.
Taking a gentle breath, Xia Zhi subconsciously wanted to tap the window sill with her knuckles, but her fingers went straight through.
As previously speculated, as long as he is not under Vivian's observation, he is a ghostly, non-existent image relative to this world.
The girl had no way to explain this.
We can only leave it to explore later...if we have the opportunity.
Xia Zhi was thinking wildly, but his energy slowly rose, because in his silent calculation, the time was approaching zero. He was like a prisoner waiting for trial, his whole heart was lifted.
No, no...
There will inevitably be some discrepancies in the estimate, so maybe you can reserve some more time...
He was thinking about this, and at the same time he counted down gently in his mouth, three, two, one...
——Boom! !
At the moment when the mental arithmetic time ended and returned to zero, a huge fire was reflected in his pupils. The flames soared into the sky in the night rain, directly lighting up half of the sky, followed by a deafening and terrifying explosion. One shot comes.
It was as if it was a signal that turned on an ominous switch, and also opened the true curtain of this bloody night.
Roar!
roar!
Scream!
Excited shouts and impulsive fighting burst out in the night wind in an instant!
"Why so fast...!!"
Xia Zhi's expression changed in shock, and then he made a decision almost without thinking, turned around and headed straight towards Vivian's residence.
Almost without thinking at all, he could figure out what was going on, and he immediately understood that the most important thing now was to find Vivian and take her away from this place immediately... No matter where it was, escape first!
…………
The blond girl stumbled out of the house, and what she saw was the burning palace.
No, the whole of Onik is in a sea of fire.
The fairies of the Rain Clan are being slaughtered mercilessly, and the mournful wails are intertwined with the thick smell of blood, filling the distant sky.
She had just endured the impact of a large amount of future information, and her already pale face was now even more bleak. It was as if all the blood had receded at this moment. Her steps were weak and unable to accept the nightmare scene in front of her, and she staggered.
"The Rain Clan's hiding of the Paradise Fairies angered other clans, which eventually led to four clans joining forces to attack. The Rain Clan was wiped out overnight..."
"And you - also died in this massacre..."
The indifferent prophecy delivered by myself from the history of pan-humanity and from the future just now seems to still be echoing in my ears, every word of which is heart-wrenching.
Vivian was still subconsciously resisting this cruel fact, unwilling to believe such a fate.
However--
In just the next moment, this future happens.
