Chapter 262 Sakura
[When you were one year old, you were born on the Edo planet, Shintavi, and were brought back to the Fire Chaser base by Qianliu on that rainy night]
"cherry..."
"I am fine."
The pink-haired girl stared at the corpse in front of her silently. Some emotion was being peeled off from the depths of her soul, and the code behind her neck flashed an intense light.
She gently touched Qianying's hilt, and her eyes seemed to have made some kind of determination.
"I want to become Chisakura's [Transcendent]."
“I don’t want to forget.”
Sakura's eyes were determined. The young girl gripped the hilt of the sword and stared at the third broken hollow on the hilt.
She has forgotten many things, but there are some things she will never forget.
Those who transcend the boundaries have the past but will lose the future.
"The Chief may want him to be Qianying's successor," the girl with long light white hair held Ying's hand and looked at the boy and said, "Don't you want to know the meaning of the Chief risking his life to bring him back?"
"I hate him."
Sakura stared at the crying boy with cold eyes, her right hand holding the hilt of the sword shaking violently, "Who is he?"
"Dr. Aini."
"I do not know."
Aini pointed to the blurred code on the back of her neck and laughed at herself. "In New Tavi, everyone has a consciousness code since birth."
Ying picked the boy up from the ground, ignoring his cries, and stared at his neck forcefully—
There is nothing there.
[At the age of two, after undergoing countless complicated medical examinations, you stayed in the Fire Chaser Base. As a young child, you were always curious about everything, but every time you entered your pink-haired sister's room, you would be hit hard by the scabbard.]
“Wuwuwawawa——!”
"cherry!"
Annie sighed helplessly, picked up the crying boy from the ground, looked at the obvious marks on his butt, and then looked at Sakura with a stern look.
"sorry."
Sakura apologized promptly, her eyes revealing her determination to do the same thing again next time.
After becoming a transcendent, one can gain access to the memories within Qianying and remember those memories that were recovered with death.
Everything in New Tavi will become a resource, not to mention the important consciousness. After everyone dies, their consciousness will return to the World Tree Box and become a part of New Tavi.
The memories associated with it will also disappear, leaving only a blank outline.
Sakura doesn't like boys, he was the one who killed her father.
She knew she shouldn't vent her anger on a child, but she was only ten years old when she lost her father.
The last relative left her just like that, and as time goes by, will disappear in everyone's memory, until no one remembers that such a person ever existed.
Since becoming a Chisakura Transcendent, Sakura's temperament has become increasingly cold, and she has become particularly mature after losing her father.
The Fire Chaser needs a leader and needs to keep moving forward.
"Come to think of it, he doesn't have a name yet."
"Oh."
Ying looked indifferent. So what if there was a name? It had nothing to do with her anyway.
What is more important now is to enhance the connection with Qianying and become a true transcendent as soon as possible. Ying holds the cold sword in her arms, and the blade reflects her beautiful face.
"Look, this is the name I got when I was in the cradle," Annie held up the blurry handwriting, on which the word "Ming" was faintly engraved.
It’s a pity that the surname has been completely worn off, making it difficult to guess what it originally looked like.
"Hard to hear."
Ying squatted down with a slight softness of heart, looking into the boy's clear eyes, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.
What she should hate is that damn World Tree technology, instead of inflicting anger on an innocent child for no reason.
"Just call..."
"Qianming."
Ying reached out and rubbed the boy's head, a hint of tenderness appearing on her cold face, "Father must have thought so too."
Aini picked up the boy with both hands and said with a smile: "I don't know why, but I feel this child is so kind."
"Dr. Aini, you still have work to do."
"Ah, sorry!"
[At the age of three, you started to become familiar with the Fire Chaser base, and everyone in the Fire Chaser liked you very much, but Sister Ying was always very strict with you. When she saw you playing, she would take you away for training.]
Ying rarely showed a tired expression. At this moment, she just thought of something and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Ying? What's the use of these trainings?" Xiao Qianming didn't understand and struggled to lift the iron sword with both hands, and finally put it back to the ground panting.
"Live."
Ying squatted in front of Qianming, picked out a silver dagger from the armory beside her, and placed it solemnly in his palm. It was not cold, but rather warm.
"My father always told me... to survive, to see tomorrow."
Only in this way can we wait for that illusory hope.
Therefore, no matter how ugly it is, they must try their best to survive. This is the only way to resist the cruel world and it is also the proof of their existence.
Qianming quietly stared at Ying's back. The girl held Qianying in her hand. Snowflakes surrounded her wherever the sword passed, and a cold breath followed.
"Sister Ying's sword is cold, but she is not cold!"
"How do you know?" Ying was slightly stunned. She didn't expect to hear such an evaluation from Qianming. She was indeed very strict with little Qianming over the years.
Perhaps he didn't want to disappoint his father, or perhaps he really wanted to see the birth of so-called hope.
"I just know it."
Qian Ming grasped the dagger and wielded it somewhat awkwardly, but within half an hour he had become quite proficient at it.
Sakura's eyes, which were as cold as violet, were now flashing with a strange light.
No one ever said that everyone had to be good with a sword...
"Qianming."
Ying held his hand and whispered, "I'll teach you from now on."
"Okay!" Qianming didn't even hesitate and gave Ying a cheerful smile.
"..." Ying suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt. What on earth was she doing? Was she training a child to be a killer?
Don't do this...
Sakura was silent. She once lived a carefree life until she saw the real world with her own eyes.
This is New Tavi, the core of the entire Edo Star, where the World Tree technology that rules the star region stands.
What does the world beyond look like? Are there other star regions outside the star region? Ying doesn't want to know. She just wants to survive on this planet where even remembering is not allowed.
"Sister Ying looks beautiful when she smiles."
"Ok?"
"The smile that appears when looking at the sun is so beautiful!" Qian Ming blinked his bright big eyes and said seriously.
Children don't lie.
"Thank you."
Ying stroked Qianming's head and smiled slightly.
