Chapter 417: NO.180: Sun and Moon

NO. 180: Sun and Moon

Those who have seen, or personally organized clue charts on boards or screens, often have this realization:

That is, interpersonal relationships are often an extension of a network.

One person knows a few people, those few know a few more, spreading outward, and you may also intersect with the interpersonal connections that continue to expand.

A friend's friend officially becomes your friend; that is the norm of a 'real-life fulfiller'.

Qianming is undoubtedly such a 'real-life fulfiller'.

Aomo does not think she has been constantly monitoring his recent situation, but if one were to say that at that time the Ludaofu Symbol, while placing emergency and ambulance calls, also happened to use his own network……

Then the appearance of the Qianming representative is not surprising.

The Moon Chariot Symbol's self-destructive act, just the first step, immediately caused the core of the Symbol family to lose the vast majority.

Although it failed to blow up both the old family head and the future family head together, it indeed managed to plunge the entire upper echelon into a standstill,

Fortunately, perhaps today did not let all the core members of the Symbol family return home to witness the confrontation between the Ludaofu Symbol and the Moon Chariot Symbol; but frankly, the difference between eighty percent ruined and ninety percent ruined is nothing to someone cleaning up the mess.

The Symbol family is destined to undergo a major overhaul, and the Ludaofu Symbol's endless overtime work only adds insult to injury.

As for the openly displayed Old Family Head Speed Symbol… whether someone of advanced age can still labor over those documents, Aomo does not really care.

The Symbol family's distortion, although not solely her doing, is a 'tradition' long exhibited by an excessively ancient family.

But to alienate people to this extent, she must certainly have a promoter behind her.

During the brief rest after being sent to the hospital bed, whenever Aomo closes his eyes, the lingering memories of the Moon Chariot Symbol are like junk software.

When the 'main operating program' frees up, it eagerly fills the 'computational gap'.

Sounds and images, one after another, take turns displaying that man's past.

Aomo could have touched the Crystal Core while using the Source Energy Heart Method, which has a calming effect and is usually employed against insomnia, to cover it.

But he still honestly accepted those fragments that, because they are remembered most deeply, appear the most complete.

In the Crystal Core, the folder concerning the naming of 'Moon Chariot Symbol' is now complete, and its name has been changed to 'Reference Object'.

With a Reference Object, you can then know your position.

Once you understand your own track, there should be no side lanes leading here.

However, compared to these insights for the future, what is more important now is to clarify the structure of the Symbol family, and then you will know how huge the gap the Moon Chariot Symbol has torn is.

Large enough to compel the Ludaofu Symbol to use all his connections to deal with the aftermath.

And the emperor of the Horse Girl world naturally has the most connections, which are also Horse Girls.

Air Tank, Wan Shan Si Ji, Qianming Representative, Narita Bai Ren and other horse girls—Aomo can instantly name this circle of close colleagues of Miss Ludaofu, except that compared to the Desert Hero summoned by the Qianming representative……

Miss Morgan and Miss Grace, however, were unexpected yet understandable.

After seeing the holy sword in Miss Desert Hero's hand, which has a clear shape difference from the Sword of Vowed Victory, and seeing that holy sword emit a nearly identical brilliant glow, it is not hard to imagine that some enchantress has tampered with it.

Furthermore, considering that Miss Grace, together with that El-Melloi II, went to report at the Clock Tower headquarters in Ordinary City, but just like most magicians, they ultimately still return to the Clock Tower branch in Hongying District.

That is a branch only slightly smaller than the headquarters in scale.

In fact, the Clock Tower in Hongying District has long had calls to become the headquarters, only because the Clock Tower headquarters of the Fate/Grand Order world has always been in Britain.

Most of the magicians stationed there are also more accustomed to the environment and culture of Hongying District, rather than the chaotic mess of Ordinary City that inherits the lineage of the Heaven's Gate City.

But they also cannot deny that such 'chaotic mess' is very convenient for some of their research and experiments.

Miss Grace and El-Melloi II obviously do not need those, so if they have no pressing business, they will stay in the branch rather than the headquarters.

And this must be mentioned—according to what Aomo knows, Miss Desert Hero has a good relationship with another horse girl of the Symbol family, Miss Ji Zhao.

At the same time, her roommate in Trésen is still Miss Meter Bath.

Moreover, she has considerable overlap with the Clock Tower apprentice member, Miss Dong Shang Reform……

This is the networked interpersonal web; Aomo is not surprised that when she greets him, she clearly knows his reaction.

It is only subtly different from her and Miss Grace's similar reserve.

Both have mostly heard various rumors about him, and after seeing him transform into a demon king fusion beast and battle the hundred-bodied centaur, although we need not mention Miss Desert Hero's first encounter, Miss Grace's reaction upon seeing him again is not much different from her first impression.

All that can be said is that the initial impression upon first meeting was so shallow that it was directly overwhelmed by the present impression, turning him into a stranger.

As the one who was helped, Aomo also has no right to say anything; instead, giving thanks is essential.

Especially Miss Grace.

If not for that stunning shot, Aomo would probably still have to keep frantically calling the Aopeng brothers' phones, until the Royal Knights came over to pick a fight——

According to the Witch Beast's report, the Royal Knights arrived at the scene ten minutes ago, still going around asking nearby digital beasts about the situation, but those digital beasts also know nothing, so at least for the next few days there will be no problem.

If there is a problem, one can also go to the Muyu Detective Agency to 'turn themselves in'—it was originally not a big issue, and everything has been resolved.

But where on earth did Kai and Shenxin Er go?

Aomo does not understand, but he also has no time to investigate.

After all, just a few minutes after receiving Grace, Desert Hero, and Morgan, another batch of visitors arrived—David, Rebecca, Bi Ze, and Miss JunChuan JiangSheng.

The first three were clearly a team, while the last was a chance encounter.

But this also made the ward crowded, prompting the three voluntary leavers from Hongying District to take their leave.

After Aomo hastily left the words 'I'll come back to visit,' there was another knock at the door from the combination of Mounted Mare, Texas, Angel, and Uncle Vlad.

At this point, Aomo had already told them not to bother closing the door.

And this soon came in handy——

Narita Bai Ren, Pipa Morning Light, Dazhenhan, Xizaki Feng, Vodka, and Tokaitei came to visit.

... To be honest, Aomo wanted to sleep.

The mercenary's needed social circle may not yet be complete, and talents from different fields have not yet met enough, but as an ordinary citizen, as a logistics worker and trainer……

He has already felt an overwhelming enthusiasm.

Especially, the number of those leaving is far less than the number of newcomers.

Even there was a hint of suffocation.

When Zhouri Ningjing drove over with Ailisuzhi and Mancheng Chazuo arrived at the ward, he inevitably felt he had come to the wrong room.

"Is anyone having a birthday here?" At that time, a certain pitch-black Sunday seriously asked this question.

——

——

——

Half an hour later, the ward finally quieted down.

One hour later, Lianxi and Bopang were no longer by Aomo's hospital bed.

She and Suzi, Chazuo, and the invisible Zhouri Ningjing were recounting in front of the hospital's large lawn the popular tokusatsu literature such as "Annihilation! Symbol Family Elder Group", "Moon Chariot Symbol's Renewed Challenge", and "The Person Who Burned the Cards".

And Aomo was finally able to lie down for a while.

He said he wanted to sleep, but thinking of those cards, he damn well couldn't sleep.

Think about it!

Young people, being a bit emotional, is quite normal!

Wanting to give a decent send-off to someone you don't fully approve of but can't quite hate is also quite normal!

Wanting——

Don't even think about it, ah ah ah ah ah my cards!

This procedure couldn't go on; Aomo's inner self was already a tearful Mefeilas head.

A man has tears but doesn't shed them lightly; he just hasn't reached the point of sinking ship.

Moreover, he even set the card pool on fire with a fire.

And just when he wanted to sleep but couldn't, another knocking sound came, making his eyes snap open as he stared at the ceiling and said:

"Please come in."

The door opened, and in came an old man who didn't really need a cane but still clung to his old one.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me."

The mother who appeared so hateful in Moon Chariot Symbol's memory was, in Aomo's eyes, still that elderly lady over seventy.

Still wearing those gold-rimmed glasses, and at this moment even dressed in Jidong formal attire with large sleeves, he sat properly on the bench before the hospital bed, then lifted his hand into his sleeve and pulled out a square box, letting Aomo instantly recognize what it was.

Although he wasn't a card elder, and even denounced card elders because he had a card elder friend!

But a certain demon's sensitivity to the length and width of card designs already surpassed that of a card elder!

Moreover, he could already feel the rich and varied will inside that box.

Even though the box was indeed specially made, it was roughly similar to the "isolation technology" bragged about by those frontier lighthouse folks.

Useless, actually even clearer than before perception, he could distinguish 13 types inside, all cards he had initially screened and handed over to Ludaofu Xiangzheng.

And now……

"Just want to leave some time for young people's socializing," the old man said, placing the box before the bedside table, then pushing it toward the edge near Aomo, "and these are for you."

"Is this payment?" Aomo asked.

"If it's considered a repayment, it would make my Symbol Family seem too cheap, not even counting as a gift; this is what you deserve." The voice of Speed Symbol was calm and hoarse; this was the first time Aomo heard her speak, but thanks to remnants of Moon Chariot Symbol's memory, it didn't feel unfamiliar.

"Huh?" Aomo chuckled, "Is this what a big family is like?"

It's rare not to have to spend money to buy it; although knowing that the Symbol Family's use of this thing is not significant, it can only be sold or stored, giving it to oneself as a favor is also quite fitting.

But when he actually saw the other party send it over, Aomo's smile wasn't forced.

Too bad, it wasn't Miss Ludaofu Xiangzheng who came over.

"Luna kid has a lot of things to do, can't come over."

"……"

"When she was little, whether it was her parents or Moon Chariot, they all called her that."

"And you?"

"Me? This name is one I chose myself."

"You love the moon so much?"

"The Symbol Family's environment cannot produce a sun," the old man said, lowering his gaze to the horse-head cane he held with both hands crossed, "but I think perhaps we don't need a sun."

"After all, as long as there is sun outside, the moon can equally reflect light."

Aomo shook his head: "Without warm light, it's just a lie."

"Is that so? You and Luna." The old man looked up at him.

Faced with that turbid yet sharp gaze, Aomo momentarily felt dazed, as if seeing himself in a mirror.

After a long silence, he suddenly said: "You haven't protected the sun of Moon Chariot Symbol well."

This was rather sudden, shifting from the moon topic to the sun, but the old man sighed in understanding.

From the three-person topic all about the moon, imagining each other's differences, there is no doubt Moon Chariot Symbol lost its sun.

"The death of the Moon God's child, I didn't expect that either."

"Moon Chariot Symbol remembers that you didn't attend the funeral."

"Luna kid is the same." The old man added.

"What was your meeting at that time?"

"I know which company hired the person; URA's races are quite fair, but some people always want to challenge authority, so I intend to pass a decision that consistently suppresses that group."

"In other words, you didn't attend the funeral because you were busy avenging your daughter?"

"I won't defend myself that way."

"The Moon God's child is very kind and warm."

Although it is the moon, it indeed reflects sunlight.

Even when leaving, it is very calm.

So, I have no need to communicate with dead objects that don't even have a soul; I only want, and can only, destroy the living.

【122】 Even when leaving, it is very calm.

【123】 So, I have no need to communicate with dead objects that don't even have a soul; I only want, and can only, destroy the living.

……

Quite shocking?

Not exactly, just seems to have found another reference.

If that's the case, can you listen to what I have to say?

I have no obligation to listen, old lady.

Then that's enough; such a young person can put my mind at ease.

……

Do you want to scold me, but also feel that the Symbol family still needs to be a bit cautious?

I'm going to rest, old lady.

"The Yuechi child finally did something that I regret, unfortunately he didn't succeed," Speed Symbol leaned on his cane and stood up, "but Luna still has a chance; when she's free, she'll still have to rely on you."

"She will not..." Aomo was at a loss for words.

It seems you've figured it out; given the current state of the Symbol family, she has no other choice.

What a terrible reference, old lady.

Hope it's useful to you.
