Chapter 288 Later
"What kind of story do you think this is?"
"The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon, or has he forgotten the beginning of the road and can no longer find his original intention?"
Aini took off her glasses, revealing a pair of clear eyes. "In my opinion, this is a key, a key to unlock future stories."
"Do you understand?" Hanabi looked at Sakura.
"don't know."
Ying gave a straightforward answer, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Come to think of it, I never knew how old Dr. Annie was..." It seemed that Annie had looked like this since she was born, and no one had any objection to it.
Is she the only one who feels something is wrong?
"The Sky Curtain is a supernatural weapon that develops the spirit to the extreme. Well... to put it simply, everything about the Fire Chaser is created by the spirit."
Annie felt that there was nothing to hide. After all, it had come to this point. Qianming's spiritual exhaustion meant that the ending was destined to never come to an end.
"Wait...I don't quite understand," Sakura was really confused this time. Why had no one ever talked about these things before?
"Your father, Qianliu, was actually a transcendent of World Tree Technology a long time ago."
Hua Huo could provide additional explanation for this point, "The Fire Chaser is, to put it bluntly, an emergency measure prepared by that guy. After all, he really needs someone to wake him up right now."
"Don't you find it strange that there are only four Fire Chasers with names and surnames: the Chief, the Sniper, the Hacker, and the Doctor. The rest of the Fire Chasers are just NPCs that I can't remember no matter what?"
Annie put her glasses back on, and suddenly many figures appeared in the corridor. "These are all recovered consciousnesses, just projected again."
Ying just felt extremely strange, and the hand holding Qianying had never trembled like this before, "Then...are all the sacrifices we have made along the way just a joke?"
"Do you remember Qianliu's last words?" Aini looked at Ying with an apologetic look, "He is Edo's last hope, and he also belongs to the will of the fraudster."
"Want to hear another story?"
“It’s also the final story.”
...
...
Edo Star has roots.
After a great war, a certain being cut off a branch of the tree. The golden branch fell on Edo Planet and gave birth to spiritual flowers.
Someone told the boy.
"The universe is a tree."
That tree is the only thing that can change your destiny.
So the boy came to Edo Planet and met a nameless girl from the puppet clan. From then on, he used her talent to obtain the spiritual flower and nurture the final branch.
When the branches turn into roots and new trees grow, he will write the ending himself.
If this life is just an illusion, then he will break this illusion with his own hands and create the only reality.
Later, a tower taller than the sky was built on top of that vein, and the light of the World Tree's technology has since shone upon all living things, with the spirit of all the people of Edo Star as the guide and key.
So, on that rainy night, the trickster's will was transferred to the newborn baby, and only the imprisoned destiny remained.
He is An Tianming.
If it is destiny, you should finish this story, follow the predetermined destiny, complete the only mission, and then die quietly.
It doesn't matter.
He will use himself as the final nourishment to nurture new hope.
Will never dies, it just gets passed on.
Just like a torch, constantly passed on, burning, and eventually lighting up the sky.
...
...
"Wait, why do you know more than me?"
This time it was Lady Hanabi's turn to be dumbfounded. If we are not sisters, why are you hiding so much? Aren't we family?
Ying was also silent. She didn't expect to get so much key information from Annie, and it was explosive news that she had never heard of before.
"In the early years, I have been with Mr. An because of the purpose of this sky curtain. It was originally used to manage the consciousness container."
Aini smiled bitterly, "Before the will of the Trickster was transferred, I created the Fire Chaser with Brother Qianliu. Perhaps everything was done to protect this last flame."
After chasing the fire to the end, there is nothing left.
Ying didn't say anything for a long time. She held Qianying's hand and turned to leave. The base in front of them gradually dissipated like smoke.
If everything is false, then what is real?
"So, you will help us, right?" Hua Huo felt lucky. Somehow, her teammates were very strong, and it felt like they were enough to deal with An Tianming.
It's a bit insulting to say that hitting someone with your feet is also considered ez difficulty.
"I don't have much fighting ability," Aini pointed at Qian Ming, "After all, he will decide the outcome in the end."
"...I can't imagine how they would fight for now."
Hanabi blinked, a little curious, "I hit myself? I hit my own dog head off?" She found it funny when she thought of what Qianming had mentioned before.
Well~ This is so much fun. This guy is really suitable to be a Fool. Why not just be a couple of Masked Fools with her?
Hanabi was excitedly fantasizing about the future one second ago, but was shocked to find out the next second that there was no "after" for them.
Now, it’s the end of the play.
Just as a play always has an end, people will die one day.
Hanabi always subconsciously avoids thinking about that aspect, as if life and death were never a reason to separate them. After all... that would be too bad, wouldn't it?
How can such a lame excuse as life and death be the reason for separation...
In the future, we will see more scenery together, go to a bigger planet outside Edo Star, and have a grand wedding.
The wedding will be filled with blooming soul cherry blossoms, and even Aha will serve as a flower girl to sing the praises of their love.
But...
They have no future.
Hanabi stared at Chiming in a daze. It turned out that from the very beginning, the one who couldn't accept this fact was actually herself.
Her acting was so good, so superb that she even briefly fooled herself.
not give a damn about?
How could she not care? She cared so much that it was painful and she couldn't even breathe!
Why should I die? Didn’t I promise her that I would always watch her from the audience?
"Don't give me that look."
A familiar hand was placed on Hanabi's cheek and Chiaki gave her a weak smile, "That's not like you, Hanabi."
"It's all your fault...you just want to die on your own. Why do you want to die?" Hanabi couldn't suppress the grief in her heart and cried loudly in front of Qianming's chest.
"Liar liar liar!"
"sorry..."
"Why should I apologize?" Hanabi's eyes were filled with sadness at the moment. "The trickster I know can perform miracles."
