Chapter 1381

"Hello…♪"

"You look surprised, just like in my memory," Xilian smiled faintly.

"Are you Xilian or Mimimi?" Star kept sizing up the girl before her.

Long line with quotes. Let's translate.

"Maybe both? Just kidding, but if I had to pick a side… I'd be closer to the latter." Xilian lightly touched her chin with a finger, "I also find it unbelievable. It's like after a long dream, Xilian's memories and Mimimi's memories are intertwined… Upon waking, only fragments remain. I can't remember what happened in those thirty million reincarnations, but I remember what Star did for this."

Absolute Zone Zero

Outside the room door, a familiar voice suddenly sounded; only to see Hugo had already put away his umbrella and walked in. Today New Ely had a light rain, but he was completely dry, obviously he had been standing there watching her for a while.

"If you want to see Lord Faersi, you must go to Rossekali Fa yourself." Hugo took off his draped suit jacket and hung it on the rack by the door, "According to the latest intel I received, the Central Bureau Five has decided to expand cooperation with New Ely City."

Vivian's eyes instantly sparkled.

In the future I can go to Rossekali Fa to find Lord Faersi!

—— (just a separator line). We need to output 【8】 with translation? The line is "——". Probably it's a horizontal rule. We should translate as "——" maybe keep as is? Since it's not text, but we must output something. We'll output: 【8】 —— (same). Or maybe translate as "——". We'll keep same.

What?

Previously, Lord Faersi had pursued a pink-haired woman named Lamil after the Void Hero Grand Prix; her silhouette also appeared in Rossekali Fa, and her true identity is a wanted criminal for assassinating the first Void Hunter, Lady Wanzhou. If Lord Faersi continues to pursue her, he might——

Hugo's playful smile curled up again at the corner of his mouth.

Maybe we'll run into her; who knows?

Wait…… a pink‑haired woman? A wanted criminal?! Or a dangerous element who assassinated the Void Hunter?!

Vivian's smile froze on her face at a visible speed.

Lord Faersi is in danger! I can't wait that long; I'm going to Rossekali Fa now!

【26】

Besides, although there's a lot I want to say, now isn't the time to reminisce about the past, right?

We've returned here with the memories of the previous Fire Pursuit Journey, the starting point of time, to fulfill our promise with Bai'e. The descent of the Iron Tomb is imminent, yet we still have a chance… to change all of this.

Xilian gazed at the small village before her, gently wrapped by the gentle "Years," placed her hand lightly on her chest, feeling the touch of the breeze brushing her hair tips.

Aolixie, truly peaceful……

In Xilian's memory, she was always alone by the lake, gently swaying on the swing, as if waiting for someone.

Star asked, "Can you recall anything more?"

Xilian frowned slightly, shook her head: "Seems not… sounds strange, right? Clearly it's my own affair, yet my tone sounds like an outsider's." She lifted her head, her gaze once again meeting Star's, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips, "But memory is like a thick layer of ice, hazy and unclear. All I truly remember is the time we spent together."

After the next Recreation of the World, Oufaluosi will fall into the 'Destruction' ending…… but this kind of story is no longer popular. In a romantic epic, the villain's plot ought to be thwarted by the protagonist, right?

—— => same as line 8. Output: 【25】 ——

Yes. Now we know that the sealed sky isn't Aigle's intention…… behind it is Laigushi, plotting to control everything—a truly unforgivable black hand. Still, I feel uneasy… Laigushi might step onto the stage, lay everything out, showing he still has the situation under control.

Perhaps he still holds some hidden cards. You think… even 'Lüku'er Ges' is a fake name; we have no idea where that villain comes from.

Star lowered her head in thought: "We need more support from extraterrestrial allies."

Spirit Cage

Laigushi, if that guy intends to personally eliminate Star... facing a genius, Star probably can't stand against him.

Geniuses can't be judged by common sense——this has almost become a consensus among Shan Da and his peers; it's hard to imagine they'd pull out some miraculous device that could instantly turn the tide in battle. As someone who has operated here for over a hundred amber ages, Laigushi surely possesses no fewer such devices.

Likewise, as a mechanized genius, could Laigushi also have some forces of his own? In his impression, envoys or envoy‑level experts rarely resemble lone wolves; even Lady Black Tower has the Interstellar Peace Company as a partner.

Only those who reach envoy strength while remaining solitary seem to be Huang Quan alone.

"Could Laigushi have any helpers?" Shan Da scratched his head and asked.

【54】

"After all, it's his own creation, and it hasn't even hatched yet. I worry that when Black Tower, Screw Gum, and a few other geniuses gang up to beat him, some other genius might suddenly pop out to rescue him... If that leaves a lingering threat, that'd be trouble."

【56】

"What I truly worry about is Laigushi's attitude." Bai Yue Kui, who had been silent beside them for a while, suddenly spoke.

"Attitude?" Xia Dou, puzzled, asked, "What kind of attitude?"

Bai Yue Kui gazed at the distant wasteland altered by Mana's ecological transformation, where countless crimson tentacles stretched out from the cracks in the earth, as if craving something.

"…attitude toward those two geniuses." Bai Yue Kui said, "Laigushi should know that the Black Tower and Screw Gum would intervene to stop him, but he could still nonchalantly say, 'If necessary, I will personally step in to clear obstacles for the Iron Tomb.' If his 'obstacles' also encompass those two geniuses…… then just how strong must his power be to support such a statement?"
