Chapter 1041: Wolforos 3.0 (87)

Bai E scratched his head in confusion: "Savior... what does that mean?"

"Um... that long string of interpretations, I won't make you recite it? Simply put, this card means... you will become a hero admired by everyone, using the sword in your hand to protect the world, saving many, many people from terrifying enemies! How about that, great?"

Bai E furrowed his brows: "Mm..."

"... What's wrong? This is a great card!"

Bai E stubbornly shook his head: "But I don't want to be some great hero! I just want to stay in the village, with everyone. Grandma and Grandpa said the outside world has many bad people, that's why there's constant war... I don't want to save those bad people! I just want to be a little hero protecting the village!"

"Haha..." the girl smiled, raising an eyebrow, "Then, little hero... if one day we must leave Aolixie and say goodbye, would you be willing to become the savior?"

"Must... leave the village?"

"Mm, if that happens... it would mean the world needs someone to save it." The girl gazed into the distance at KefaLe, sunlight flickering in her pupils as tiny specks of light.

"Then... then..."

"Huh?" Seeing Bai E's thoughtful expression, the girl teased with a crystal-clear bell-like laugh, "Haha, I'm just messing with you~ Don't worry, Aolixie is very peaceful; bad people will never find us."

"Are you going home? If you're not in a hurry, shall we go play with the little sprites again?"

"Little sprites! Great, I love playing with them! This time I'll definitely win back the wooden sword I lost to them!"

"Hehe... you're really motivated. Then let's go..." The girl stood up, brushed off the dust on her skirt, and finally glanced back at KefaLe.

"I hope this world will never need a savior."

"......"

The final scene: a black blade pierced the pink-haired girl's body, golden blood sliding down her chest, everything falling into silence.

——

Honkai 3.

"???"

"I... am already dead?"

Ailixiya, who was trying to put the Mimi hat on Meibiwusi's head, froze instantly, staring blankly at the sky, momentarily doubting whether she had seen wrong.

"Just a correction, it's your isotope that's dead." Taking advantage of her distraction, Meibiwusi nimbly slipped away from Ailixia's side, wearing a gloating expression, "... Looks like we won't get to see your isotope grow up, Ailixia, what a pity."

"Ailixia, don't be sad." Eden helped Ailixia sit on a nearby sofa, speaking softly: "Ailixia, from Bai E's memories, you grew up alongside him as a companion; without your companionship back then, perhaps there wouldn't be such a cheerful savior today."

"But..." Ailixia lowered her eyes, dejected: "Does that mean I can only appear in Bai E's memories from now on? Even I would feel regretful."

"It's okay, Big Sister Ailixia!"

Padou also came over, she tugged at the two pom-poms on Ailixia's Mimi hat, and Mimi's two ears perked up immediately: "Just pretend... you've been reincarnated, turned into that little Mimi following beside Xing, so you're essentially accompanying Xing, Bai E, and the others in completing the Fire Pursuit Journey, right?"

"Hmm~ reincarnation." Ailixia softly murmured those four words, then suddenly "pfft" laughed out loud, "Padou, your way of comforting people is truly unique, but I appreciate your kindness♪ Treating a little creature like a fairy as an isotope, this feeling is also a first for me...... though the pink fairy and I are also very compatible."

"A few system hours ago, on the Star Express..."

"\"Pam, is the staff meal ready? \""

"Pam in chef's uniform nodded: \"Of course, it's ready, Pam! March passenger feeling unwell, I specially prepared an easily digestible and absorbable menu tailored for the train conductor. Jizi, could you trouble yourself to deliver it to her? \""

"\"Of course no problem. By the way... \""

"Pam waved her hands frantically: \"No no, you can't give coffee to the patient, Pam! \""

"Jizi couldn't help but smile: \"Heh... that's true. \""

"Jizi brought the customized staff meal to March 7th's door, gently knocking: \"March, may I come in? \""

"No response."

"Jizi instinctively pulled open the door, but the sight before her instantly rooted her to the spot, she didn't even notice the plate in her hand shattering on the floor."

"March 7th lay still on the bed, yet the icicles of the Sixfold Frost radiated outward from her body like a blossoming flower of extreme cold."

——

Zenless Zone Zero.

"Ah ah??? Master, this..."

Ju Fu Fu stared wide-eyed, her finger pointing at the screen trembling slightly; she couldn't comprehend what change had befallen March 7th.

"..." Yixuan frowned, "The change that occurred in March 7th after the train approached Wolforos—could it be one of Wolforos's three Paths affecting her?"

She didn't think the Path of Wisdom would cause such a terrifying change, so the remaining possibilities are only the "Memory" Path and another mysterious Path. Could March 7th have been a Wolforos native? Or perhaps the third Path affected her? But why would it affect only March 7th?

Countless thoughts flashed through Yixuan's mind, leaving her momentarily unable to ponder them.

But since it could stir the Sixfold Frost within March 7th, there's no doubt Wolforos is related to her past experiences.

"\"Master, do you think there's a chance that March 7th is actually a lost Golden Descendant? \" Ye Shuguang furrowed his brow, thinking seriously, \"She might have survived the Wolforos Golden War era as a Golden Descendant, possibly even linked to the Sky Titan... In short, for some reasons, she became the sole Golden Descendant outside Wolforos, drifting unknown years within the Sixfold Frost, eventually being salvaged by the train by accident, becoming a nameless guest. \"

"\"Oh oh...! Junior Sister, that guess makes perfect sense! \" Ju Fu Fu's eyes lit up instantly, \"Golden Descendants all have all kinds of weird abilities, which also explains why March 7th can control the Sixfold Frost! This is actually the ability granted by the Golden Descendant bloodline! But... is March 7th's blood golden? \""

Fu Fu scratched her head, it seems she hasn't seen March 7th bleed in battle yet.
