Chapter 118: Sealed Memories—Resolution (1)
Time-Space Management Central Station.
"Dad, I've brought Bai Bai Yue (Zero) back."
"What?! That's wonderful, I'll come out to meet you right away!"
Upon receiving the message from Luo Li that she had personally brought Bai Bai Yue (Zero) back, Luo Kai immediately rushed to the platform without stopping.
As the 【Nirvana】 slowly descended, Luo Kai's heart surged with indescribable excitement.
Bai Bai Yue was the son of his fallen comrade; in his heart, he was also his own son, and the son-in-law he had already accepted.
Therefore, if Bai Bai Yue could live, he was happier than anyone else.
Now, as Bai Bai Yue's figure stepped out from the 【Nirvana】, Luo Kai hurried forward to welcome him. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that Bai Bai Yue seemed to have changed a lot.
He saw colors in his eyes that had never been there before.
"Uncle... Uncle, I'm back."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Luo Kai patted Bai Bai Yue's shoulder, unable to hold back tears of old age.
However, when he saw four other girls standing behind Bai Bai Yue, his gaze grew puzzled.
It seemed their relationship with Bai Bai Yue was far from ordinary.
Luo Li quickly explained: "Dad, this is a long story; I'll explain everything clearly to you in a moment."
"Good." Although he wasn't quite clear on what was happening, since his own daughter had said so, there must be her own reasons.
Luo Kai welcomed everyone into the Time-Space Management Central Station and arranged for them to rest first.
Once everyone was settled, Luo Li followed Luo Kai to the office and began to briefly recount the full story.
It turned out that just as Bai Bai Yue and the Void Worm Mother were about to perish together, Xiao Bai Yue (T0) opened a time-space tunnel at the critical moment, accidentally drifting into the Demon Slayer alternate world.
In the Demon Slayer alternate world, Zero, that is, Bai Bai Yue, lived for over three years and formed deep bonds with these four girls.
They experienced all kinds of life's amusing incidents together and supported each other.
In this process, Bai Bai Yue gradually opened his heart and gained more emotional colors...
After listening, Luo Kai nodded. "I see. It seems you've been through a lot on this journey. I'm very gratified that Bai Bai Yue has changed like this. What are these four girls planning to do next?"
Luo Li thought for a moment and said, "I want them to stay together and accompany Bai Bai Yue."
"Then you... won't be jealous?"
Luo Li smiled gently and said, "For me, as long as Bai Bai Yue is well, I don't care about anything else."
These words made Luo Kai fall into brief contemplation.
"Alright, since you've said so, I won't interfere any further. I actually want to get to know these children well myself. For now, I'll have someone temporarily take over your duties; first, take Bai Bai Yue and them back to Blue-White Star to rest."
"Mm, okay, Dad."
Luo Family Manor, Sky Garden.
Bai Bai Yue piloted the space airship, carrying his five beloved girls, and used 【Spatial Jump】 to return to Blue-White Star.
When Kaen and the others saw the surrounding buildings, they all dropped their jaws in shock without exception; the manor's area was already comparable to, or even greater than, that of Tokyo's Asakusa district.
Especially upon seeing a huge garden actually floating in the sky, their hearts were filled with shock.
Luo Li stated that this was merely a back garden her parents had given her for her birthday when she was young.
However, after entering the 【Sky Garden】, he was shocked again; inside, it was truly like a small world isolated from the rest of the world.
Immediately, Luo Li led everyone into the small wooden house within the 【Sky Garden】. Rather than a small wooden house, it was more like a small villa, easily accommodating more than ten people.
Luo Li first arranged rooms for Kaen and the others so they could rest well, then dispatched several maids within the Luo Family Manor who were proficient in multiple languages to teach them Chinese once Kaen and the others had rested.
Finally, she led Bai Bai Yue and Xiao Bai Yue alone to her own room.
"Luo Li, what's wrong?"
Luo Li merely smiled faintly, took out a silver briefcase from the 【Nano Space】, and handed it to Bai Bai Yue.
"What is this?"
"This is your... memory."
"My memory?"
"You once sealed your own memories away and told me that if one day you changed yourself, then you should return this to you."
"Is that so..."
His hand gently brushed over the briefcase, feeling a particularly familiar sensation from it, as if something was calling out to him.
He pressed the button lightly, and a small display screen appeared on the briefcase, showing: Please enter password ______
"Password?" Bai Bai Yue turned his head to look at Luo Li.
Luo Li simply handed a necklace to Bai Bai Yue.
Hanging on the necklace was a small metal frame, inside which was embedded a small metal block with numbers engraved on both sides that could rotate.
"The password can only be entered once; that's what you told me."
After speaking, Luo Li kissed Bai Bai Yue on the lips, then took Xiao Bai Yue and left the room; the rest was up to Bai Bai Yue himself to handle.
Looking at the necklace in his hand, his fingers trembled slightly; his gaze was lost and confused, as if he had lost his direction.
The sealed memories hung over his mind like a mist, preventing him from seeing his past self clearly.
He tried hard to recall, attempting to piece together those broken fragments, but everything was so vague and distant.
The pain in his heart surged like a tide, constantly battering his soul. He didn't know what he had experienced before, nor why he had sealed away this memory...
Bai Bai Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
He set the briefcase aside, stood up, went to the window, closed his eyes, and let his thoughts gradually settle.
Opening his eyes again, his gaze flicked toward the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the room.
He approached the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looked at himself in it, and used the 【Analysis Glasses】 to analyze, hoping to find a sliver of an answer.
【Deciphering… deciphered successfully.】
【Name: Bai Bai Yue】
【Code name: Zero, Number Zero】
【Age: (Locked)】
【Nationality: Dragon Nation】
【Identity: (Locked)】
【Relative — Father: (Locked)】
【Relative — Mother: (Locked)】
【Younger sister: Bai Bai Yue, T0 (Xiao Bai Yue)】
【Personal information: (Locked)】
Most of the data was locked, which left a pang of loss in Bai Bai Yue's heart.
He picked up the necklace in his hand and casually twisted the metal piece engraved with numbers on both sides a few times, forming a new six-digit password.
Seeing this, Bai Bai Yue already knew what the password was.
He swiftly picked up the suitcase and set it on the table, then entered the numbers he had just seen.
【Password correct】
Click!
With a soft sound, the lock on the suitcase opened automatically, and several items lay quietly inside.
An exquisite crystal music box, a photo album, a crystal jewelry box containing a heart-shaped butterfly pendant, a letter, and a diamond-shaped piece of metal.
Seeing these items, Bai Bai Yue understood one thing in his heart — perhaps, only by facing this pain could he find the memories he had sealed away.
