The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Meow..."

Can Can buried his head in his casserole-sized cat food bowl and looked at the dining table with some resentment.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

The chopsticks left black afterimages in the air. Although not long ago he was still questioning whether the dishes were cooked too much, but once the meal started, Pado had no intention of giving in.

Of course, neither did Kiana.

Both parties stopped talking to each other, and just raced against time to put the food picked up by the chopsticks into their mouths. When the other party raised his hand again, they ignored the food in their mouths that had only been chewed twice, and stretched out their chopsticks to fight for it, while making fun of each other. He stretched his neck and swallowed everything in his mouth.

Until more than a dozen dishes were swept away, leaving only the last piece of fried meat.

The two people's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, their eyes met, looking at the sauce and food residue at the corners of each other's mouths, both of them turned red, wiped the corners of their mouths, and then began to pretend to be humble:

"Hey, sister Kiana, I leave the last piece to you!"

"No, no, no, I can't eat anymore, so I'll leave it to you, Pado."

The two of them gently caressed their swollen bellies, their movements surprisingly consistent, and their eyes also met on the last piece of fried meat.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hee hee hee……"

The two pairs of chopsticks were lifted up at the same time in tacit understanding, and their "mouths" were slightly opened, but for a moment no one dared to move first, as if they didn't want to be the one to break the deadlock.

Time flowed slowly in an unnoticed place. When the two girls looked at each other again, the voice of a third-party referee seemed to appear in their ears - "Action!"

The two pairs of chopsticks held high were inserted diagonally, and then hit the empty plate together.

"Eh!"

"What!"

Only then did the two, or should I say, "four" notice the shadow cast on the dining table.

"Hmm...it took a little long to fry, so the smell of oil is quite strong."

Mikael sucked his fingers, but they made them even greasier.

"Mikael!"

"Brother Mikael!"

The reactions of the two girls were completely opposite. Kiana leaned back to dodge, and had already picked up the stool with both hands to fight back, while Pado pounced on it heartlessly... With a "crash", the table and chair were overturned. , Pado only felt that his head hit a cold, hard and flat steel plate.

"Hey, you are...Ahua!"

"Monitor!"

Mikael took a step back as he expected, and Hua's heel just missed grazing the hair on his nose, but it was still a little too close.

"You two, hurry up, I won't be able to hold him off for long."

"No, Ahua, what do you mean, why..."

Hua clenched her back molars. The situation in front of her was tricky and troublesome. There was Mikael in front of her to block her, and Pado was completely unaware of the situation behind her. She didn't know what Mei was thinking. Didn't she tell Pado anything? ? Ah, that's right. If so, Pado would never leave the paradise.

But what to do now? With the help of Yu Duchen, she can appear for no more than ten minutes at most. Does she still have to explain to Pado during the battle...

In the semi-collapsed state, his blood-red eyes flicked left and right, unable to make a decision for a while. But Mikael did not take this opportunity to attack. Instead, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and spread his hands. His attitude was very intriguing.

Hua cautiously opened his hands and covered Pado and Kiana behind him like a hawk catching chickens.

"Pado, I know you have many questions to ask, but now take Kiana and leave to find my disciple Sushang. Kiana knows what to say and do after meeting her."

"But...but..."

"No more! Let's go!"

"Well……"

Padu's tail swung up in confusion, stamped his feet lightly, and finally pulled Kiana to prepare to escape.

However, her neck was twisted in a strange posture, and her eyes kept falling on Mikael's face.

The same is true for Hua.

The former is looking forward to what Mikael will say. Of course she trusts Ahua, and she also trusts Mikael. If she has to choose between the two conflicting instructions, she doesn't know how she should choose. But she still hopes that Mikael will ask her to stay...

And this is exactly what Hua is afraid of.

Time always flows so slowly when it is not necessary. Although from a spatial perspective, Pado took Kiana and took two steps, it seemed that tens of thousands of years had passed in these two steps.

Then, Mikael finally spoke, but... what he said was completely opposite to what Pado expected and what Yuhua feared:

"Stop bothering Pado, listen to Hua and leave quickly."

"Boss Mikael..."

"Take Kiana and leave quickly."

Mikael's tone was not urgent, nor did it sound like a firm order, but more like a slow statement.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!!"

Padu suddenly stamped his feet on the spot, held his head and shouted three times, each one sharper than the last.

Then came the hoarse question:

"Boss Mikael, too, and so does Ahua... Why do you say such incomprehensible things when you first come up? Aren't we all a family? Why can't we explain the problem here clearly?"

"Oh, because I can't tell you in a short time. However, Kiana should be able to tell you the answer."

Mikael's expression did not waver at all, and so did Hua.

Padu's lips trembled, and finally she shed tears. She pulled Kiana and rushed out through the open door of the can.

Mikael's eyes fell on the girl who had relied so much on him and trusted him so much. He didn't come back to his senses until her back disappeared around the corner of the stairwell for a long time.

"If you have anything to say, you'd better hurry up. I can't stay in this state for long."

"Well?"

Turning his eyes back to the front, Hua's original alert posture disappeared, and he just stood there without any defense.

"Aren't you going to fight?"

"What's there to fight for?"

Hua tilted his head.

Mikael's cheek twitched twice, and then he laughed:

"Please, that's not what you did before."

With a wave of his hand, the tables and chairs that had been overturned were rearranged by invisible hands, and the broken pots and pans on the floor were ignored. Mikael walked to Hua, raised his hand, then put it down, and finally sat on one side of the dining table, leaning on the back of the chair.

Hua paused, only for a very short time, which was not enough to accommodate the existence of "thinking". She also sat on the other side, but her body was sideways, with her right arm on the table and her left hand on her knee.

"At that time... my memory was no longer complete, so I forgot many... important things."

"What now?"

"I recovered a little bit, but not much."

The short question and answer was followed by a long silence. Although Hua was saying a moment ago that he could not sustain it for long in his current state, he had no intention of speaking in a hurry.

She wasn't lying. Her consciousness, which had been destroyed for a long time, was already in disarray. Being able to hold on for ten minutes was already the ideal result. But if it’s just a conversation, ten minutes is too much.

Oh, no, if we fight, it will only go faster. Maybe it'll be over in a minute.

Now, this time can be used to think about what to say and what to ask.

After thinking for a long time, probably for a minute or two, Mikael did not urge her, but just let his fingers beat like waves on the greasy table until Hua's voice sounded again.

"Mikael, Sakura...she..."

Hua's voices tried hard to gather together, but in the end they couldn't connect into one piece, nor could they weave into a complete question. But it is enough. In a long sentence, the only ones that really have practical significance are those few keywords. As long as those few keywords are reported, the meaning to be expressed in the words can be conveyed to a certain extent. .

Especially for something that both parties had experienced not long ago...

"she……"

Mikael's expression remained unchanged, but he was silent for a long time, and in the end he only uttered such a meaningless pronoun, and then he breathed slowly and deeply, almost with all his strength.

The air flow came in and came out of the mouth, followed by 2.3 seconds of silence, and then Mikael's voice:

"Change the topic."

Hua Heng's left hand on his knee suddenly clenched tightly.

"How can we let this matter go away..."

She still remembered the scene she saw before "death" - the cracking sound of the neck was the beginning of the nightmare. The sound was clear and had incredible penetrating power. Just thinking about it briefly made people feel shocked. "

She did regain a large part of her memories. During the past two days, she kept asking herself in her heart that at least half of the vague and doubtful points about Mikael were solved with the return of memories. , is it still necessary for me to be his enemy?

Maybe it's really unnecessary - she thought so more than once.

But the problem is that Sakura's death still feels like a lump in the throat. She doesn't believe that the Mikael in her current memory would do such a thing. If it's not that there is something wrong with her memory, it's because Mikael is no longer there. It's the old Mikael. But even five hundred years ago, he only sealed Kevin who blocked his plan into the Quantum Sea, and in the end, he betrayed himself and only received the punishment of the divine sound being crushed. …Does this really count as punishment?

The longer memories are still incomplete, but Hua has the impression that Mikael 50,000 years ago was far more immature and kinder than 500 years ago, so... Mi Kael was able to kill Sakura so decisively. Is Kyle really the same Mikael she... knew?

If the answer is no, then whether the conclusion drawn through memory is still credible is a question worth considering.

What if the answer is yes? Nothing seems to change, if Sakura's death cannot be explained...

However, she still has a third option. As long as she wishes to believe that what happened to Sakura not long ago is just a replay of the last battle fifty thousand years ago, there will be no doubts.

Wishful thinking... Hua has passed that age. Even if her own emotions want to do this, everything she carries, the 50,000-year history, the mission passed down from the previous era, and the belief that she is an immortal China and the less than three years she spent in St. Freya no longer allowed her to be so willful.

"It's better... don't continue this topic anymore."

Mikael repeated this sentence again. Although his tone was as calm as ever, he could already feel the meaning of "pleading".

"Would you... rather beg me like this than spend the same number of syllables explaining it?"

Mikael simply stopped answering. He leaned back, the front legs of the chair lifted off the ground, and the angle between the back of the chair and the ground quickly narrowed. Naturally, his eyes also turned to the empty ceiling.

Do you want to continue asking?

Hua felt a little unbearable in her heart. It wasn't that she couldn't bear to reveal some kind of truth. She just... felt the suffocating sadness in Mikael again after a long time.

His lower lip was bitten tightly, and the pain made his consciousness clearer. Yu Duchen was really a magical thing. In a sense, it even overlapped with the power of reason. It was as if Hua was clearly just relying on Yu Duchen's manifested consciousness polymer at this moment. , but he could feel the pain. He pressed his teeth again, and the tip of his tongue quickly tasted the faint taste of blood.

"Mikael...ugh!"

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask questions, she cut herself off.

Mikael still didn't make any move. At first glance, it even seemed like he was "killing him at the first glance", but a flash of light flashed in Hua's mind, and she suddenly thought of a question - "Sakura is dead", these three facts are Is it difficult to blurt out this word?

"Really...it turns out to be like this..."

Hua's originally straight upper body fell forward, with both elbows resting on the table. He supported his head with both hands, and the distance between him and Mikael also narrowed slightly.

"clatter--"

As if hearing Hua's response, Mikael's chair fell back to its original place, and his head swayed forward, dropped, and then slowly lifted up.

Their eyes met, and Hua turned his head habitually and looked away.

"Why did you choose to let Kiana go?"

Seeing his body gradually becoming ethereal and transparent, Hua quickly asked this question.

Mikael pursed his lips tightly and shook his head, then lightly tapped Hua with his right index finger.

"I see……"

Before he finished speaking, there was no one in front of Mikael, except for a piece of withered feathers floating in his open palm.

"So, your target has been me from the beginning...Mikael."

…………

"let me go!"

Meiyi kept twisting her body, but she couldn't break free from the raven's hand, making the scolding seem ridiculous and weak.

"Save your strength. Even if you can escape from me, how can you escape from Mikael? You are a big boss. China's saying is...well, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, do you understand?"

"whispering sound!"

Mei Yi snorted coldly, and her body calmed down, but Raven narrowed her eyes first and the muscles in her whole body tensed up.

As expected, what came next was not obedience and silence, but an explosion after a short period of accumulation of strength. However, Raven had already expected it, and with a slight force on his wrist, he directly dislocated Mei's arms with a "click".

"ah!"

"I've already said that if you struggle less, you will suffer less. Why don't you want to listen? Alas... can you stop him from doing anything by rushing over now? Stop being ridiculous!"

If she could, Mei Yi would definitely object, but the severe pain prevented her from speaking at all.

"Okay Raven, let her go."

Meiyi stiffened her neck and raised her head. The figure that suddenly disappeared not long ago reappeared on the edge of the rooftop, leaning lazily on the railing.

"Don't worry, Kiana ran away."

Raven let go of her hand in time the moment Mikael spoke, and Mikael just snapped his fingers, and Mei felt that the pain in her body completely disappeared. The gentle wind held her body, lifting her from roughness. He was raised on the rooftop.

"Okay, let's go."

"ah?"

"I said, you can leave. Because I have to leave here too. Next, whether you go to Kiana or contact Shenzhou Taixu first, please feel free to do so. However, remember what I told you before Since you don’t believe those words for the time being, let the anti-entropy doctors find solutions. When you find that you can’t do anything, I will reappear in front of you... By that time, you I am also qualified to know the truth of this world, even if it is only a small part.”
