The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"So, what are you here for?"

There was silence for a few seconds, and then Mikael repeated the words calmly.

Hua raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream. Her left eye, which was not covered by her bangs, showed doubts, sadness, and confusion.

Of course, in Mikael's eyes, she has always been like this.

"I……"

Yes, what is she... here to do?

The dark alley, the girl's rapid and erratic breathing, the strong and panicked heartbeat, the monster in front of her with teeth and claws, the moon hanging high above her head but not shedding much light, and... the plain and gentle voice that suddenly appeared from behind. .

This was by no means the most impressive memory between her and him, and it brought two unrelated people with her, but it was her first encounter with him.

All she lost was the memory of Mikael from 50,000 years ago, but she still remembered her longing for him in the long period of time afterwards. Yes, she actually didn't forget everything. At least after she "died" once and regained almost all her memories, she could use the longing and memories of her and him in those long fifty thousand years to To pry into the original relationship between the two.

But because the first part was missing, this longing seemed to her like a dreamy pavilion, as false as a reflection in the water. But even in this false longing, she would hardly recall the day they first met.

She would think more about the night when she resolutely left the Fire Chaser, whom she had joined for a few days, and frantically pursued him, the Herrscher. I will think about the short but long time the two of them spent alone together on the way to find Qianjie. I will think of the day when I was unable to do anything or even know what to say to comfort him when he was in the most pain. She will also think of that day on the P-21 island, under his witness, she finally gained the power to change something, and also shouldered a weight that perhaps she did not have to bear...

She would actually think about these things, over and over again, like a cow chewing its cud, squeezing everything out of her memory until the memory itself turned into dry fibers, and then swallowed it back unwillingly.

However, in her impression, she never recalled the day when the two first met.

Even when he was recalling the time in Changkong City...it was more about the scene when he kicked Erwin out of the house for smoking, the scene when he rolled down the car window and suggested that she and Carol be friends, and even I would think that I had not personally experienced it, but only heard what he told me about the scene when they were stopped by the traffic police not long after seeing them off.

The only thing missing is the scene where it all started.

Why not?

It wasn't until that scene appeared in front of her from the perspective of a bystander that she realized that this memory that had never appeared in her thoughts was the key to everything.

For a time, all the things that happened with Mikael in the past emerged one after another, and were tightly embedded into the blank space of her original memory - no, not embedded. The lack of memory is like the collapse of a complete continent, with a large number of important parts sinking into the seabed. Now, the parts that were originally sunk into the seabed have risen again and returned to the parts that should belong to them. So far...

So far, after a long period of fifty thousand years, she has become Hua again, completely Hua.

There are no burned memories, no things that cannot be recalled, but the heaviness that followed the loss when I lost them also comes back at this moment.

Yes, what is she doing here?

What should I say? What can I say?

Mikael's question is great - what is she here for?

In the final analysis, it was just stimulated by those memories, coupled with the constant encouragement from the Herrscher of Knowledge, and finally the decision was made based on emotion.

In her 50,000-year life, she had made impulsive choices only a handful of times, but each time, it seemed in the future, it completely changed the trajectory of her life. So what will change this time? Or maybe nothing can be changed but the biggest change?

Regardless of the outcome, it wasn't until Mikael asked that she realized that she had not thought about what she was here for.

"Boom——"

There is no rain and the wind is howling dryly. The sky wasn't originally dark, but the sudden thunder and lightning made the whole world look pale as paper - Yi Hua's heart.

[Old antique, what are you doing? Don't be stunned! You are talking - what are you here for? 】

Glancing to one side, Hua saw the Herrscher of Knowledge's head arching upwards like a mole in a mole machine, but then quickly retracted.

【I do not know. 】

【ah? Old antique, are you kidding me? We are all here, you have to say something even if you have nothing to say, and you have to do something even if you don’t know what to do? 】

"I just think I should come to you."

In a sense, this is just another way of saying it.

"should……"

Mikael smiled, turned around, walked to the rickety railing step by step with shaky steps, and put all his weight on it without hesitation.

"Come and see this, Hua. Herrscher of Knowledge, don't stick to the wall. Come up quickly. The height will only get higher and higher, but don't accidentally fall down."

Hua didn't know what Mikael was going to say or do, but she could feel that in the other person's smile...

Why does Wang Gu talk about him so much?

In a blink of an eye, the Herrscher of Knowledge was already standing next to her, behind Mikael, and he puffed up his chest and said with some dissatisfaction:

"What did you call me just now?"

"Herrscher of Knowledge, don't you want me to call you that? Shouldn't I call you that?"

"..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge's breathing was heavy and long. She suddenly snorted coldly and quickly walked away from the two of them. After walking about seven or eight steps, she found a corner, hugged her knees with her arms and squatted down.

Hua glanced at her worriedly, and then because of Mikael's words, he had to turn his eyes back to the familiar figure.

"You said, this world is really full of coincidences. Do you still remember the land under your feet? Fifty thousand years have passed and the sea has changed. Although it is still called Changkong City, the actual area has long been different. But... The moment I came here, I felt familiar - who told me to die here once?"

"When it collapsed for the third time?"

Hua Ming knew what he was asking, and stepped forward twice, trying to stand next to Mikael, but in the end he was still half a step behind him, and there was an arm's length between him and the railing that might collapse at any time.

The clouds were gradually approaching, and the lightning inadvertently shattered the building in front of him. The scattered rocks were shot like shotguns. Hua instinctively raised his hands to resist, but there was an invisible barrier that blocked everything. .

Her eyes turned to the side - in the end, it was he who stood in front of her.

"If you don't want to see me, why do you need to protect me?"

"What's the problem? If I hadn't taken action just now, I would have been injured myself."

Mikael still didn't look back. Following the direction of his sight, he could only see a giant white dragon falling from the rolling clouds. The dark blue quantum shadows gathered like locusts into the size of dark clouds, sweeping around in the sky. , only very inadvertently can you see a golden light that can cut through the space.

"I said this as if I was being sentimental."

Hua covered her lips and nose with her clenched fists, and her tone was forced but also filled with deep confusion.

[Hey, hey, hey, old antique! Don't let this guy fool you! Have you forgotten who threw that memory to me? You should know this man better than me, right? I can see what he is thinking, but can't you? 】

【……】

【Isn’t he just...】

【I know. 】

Hua took a deep breath. Suddenly, the building leaned forward a little under the influence of gravity, just in time for her to stand next to Mikael by surprise.

[Old antique, you should be frightened! You don’t owe him anything, just say whatever you want! 】

[Don’t speak yet. 】

Hua turned his head and stared at Mikael's profile seriously.

It's still the same as before, everything seems to be the same as before. The narrow forehead, the knotted eyebrows, the bridge of the nose that is not very straight, and the lips that are tightly pressed without any gaps - the last point, it was not until he noticed that Hua realized that he seemed to be the same.

"Mikael, do you know..."

"Ok, I know."

His eyes widened for a moment, but the next second, the light that was about to emerge was quickly extinguished.

"I know that this is a very cruel thing for Kiana. But how could everything we faced back then not be cruel?"

"what are you saying?"

"If I have a choice, I also hope that these girls and everyone in this world can enjoy an ordinary and stable life. But for Kiana, such a world is not necessarily bad."

The dry lips wriggled, and for some reason, the two of them started a confrontation, each talking about his own words.

"...Mikael, when you are nervous, you will first touch your nose with the pads of your index and middle fingers, and scratch your head with your hands."

"In a peaceful and stable world, where there is only beauty, there will be no heroes. The existence of heroes also means the existence of villains. Kevin is right, no one can take the initiative to become a hero, all of them Heroes are all accidents, they just happened to be there when the disaster happened and chose to shoulder the responsibility and burden. "

"When tension intensifies, you will stare at the other person's nose. In fact, you were staring at the other person's eyes at first, but Su told you that it was too oppressive to others, so you changed to staring at the nose. ”

"For Mei Yi, although the process is a bit tortuous and it is hard to say that she is happy, since she wants to save Kiana, she cannot keep all her efforts in words. At least at this moment, I have helped her gain the ability to change What kind of power is her own power, and it is also the first Herrscher that this civilization is about to usher in. "

"When you are extremely nervous, you will turn your back to others like you are now, because you don't want others to see your expressions and movements, but why do you do this? What is so scary about me? Something that forces you to take such an escape stance? "

Mikael turned away silently and blocked Hua's sight with the back of his head.

But his head quickly turned back - without him, Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge appeared on his left side one step ahead. If he turned his head, he would have to face the Herrscher of Knowledge's sharper gaze.

Viewed from the side, Mikael's expression did not change much, except that his Adam's apple rolled twice in a row.

Finally, he nodded his head downward, and after taking a deep breath, he raised his face again.

Hua bit her lower lip tightly and glanced outside the railing involuntarily, but what she saw was the sky constantly flashing with blood-red thunder.

It wasn't until I raised my head that I realized that the entire building had fallen unconsciously, but several people did not fall, and did not even feel the change in gravity.

The corners of Hua's mouth twitched into an indifferent smile. Then the smile gradually disappeared, leaving only two thin lips straightened into the character "one".

"Mei Yi...Mei Yi...is very important to me and to her."

[Old antique, he is soft, come on now! 】

【……】

Hua held his forehead, habitually using this action to hide his hesitation.

But the Herrscher of Knowledge would not hesitate, let alone get used to these two guys who talked in a roundabout way and wasted so many words without even getting to the point.

"To whom?"

She deliberately kept her voice low. Originally, her body was transformed into the body of Old Antique. It was not difficult to change the way she spoke and imitate Old Antique's voice and tone.

However, she and Hua were standing on Mikael's left and right sides respectively, and the sound came from completely different directions... But Mikael didn't even notice this, or maybe he did, but he also felt It doesn't matter.

No, it probably doesn't matter.

Hua followed Mikael's example and rested his arms on the railing that could break at any time, but covered his face with his hands and actively turned his head to the side.

[Old antique, what happened to you? 】

Ignoring the fury of the Herrscher of Consciousness in the spiritual channel, because Hua Zhi, as long as Mikael says that name, the Herrscher of Consciousness who inherited her memory will also wilt...

"Alicia."

"..."

After reciting the name softly, Mikael tried to focus his attention on the blood-red thunder and lightning flashing across the clouds, but in the end, he closed his eyes in resignation.

"Oh-cough cough cough!"

After a brief moment of daze, the Herrscher of Knowledge took a big step back, held his chin high, spread his hands, and opened his mouth to say something, but unexpectedly choked himself because he was too anxious.

Hua's heart suddenly sank. Although they had only been together for a few days, the character of the Herrscher of Knowledge was very easy to understand. She had already foreseen that the Herrscher of Knowledge was going to say something outrageous, but then...

I don’t know whether I should say that I was too late to stop it, or... I was deliberately slow by half a beat, and I didn’t intentionally stop it...

In short, regardless of whether it should be said or not, whether it can be said or not, those words have already come out of the mouth of the Lawyer of Consciousness——

"Oh! Oh!! What did I think it was? It turned out to be because of that woman! What? You can get together with Mebius when she is alive, and wait for her to die, wait for her to die for 50,000 years Why are you pretending to be a good person, you can’t even give me an answer?”

"The Herrscher of Knowledge!"

The person who shouted angrily was Hua. Her bangs fell down, revealing only the trembling corners of her mouth. Suddenly, she bit her lip lightly, and then almost took on a pleading tone - except that the next words were directed at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"We... let's go. He has his own path to walk, and he has things he wants to stick to. We..."

"Don't say 'we', 'us', old antique, what does it have to do with me if you want to leave? I don't believe what I said today is unclear!"

The Lawyer of Knowledge raised his hands and sat on the ground like a gangster.

It's not that she couldn't control... well, she really couldn't control her anger. Who made Old Antique have that look on her face, but she was still thinking about escaping.

One wants to escape by silence, and the other wants to escape by leaving.

Fortunately, fortunately, her great Herrscher of Knowledge is still here. As long as she is here, this family cannot be separated, and there is no way it can be separated!

"How about we say that you are grandparents and grandchildren? That guy's mind is full of a woman who has been dead for five hundred years, and you are even more heavyweight - a pervert, fifty thousand years old, fifty thousand years old! Although I am a law of consciousness I don’t know what you’re thinking, you pervert, but I’ve been waiting for you for fifty thousand years. If you can’t give me a definite answer, why don’t you just say no to the head office?”

"Okay, I..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge jumped up from the ground with a "pop", and brought his face directly to Mikael's cheek. He watched his open lips press together again, then exhaled a long breath from his nose, and then faced Hua showed an "as expected" expression.

"What? You can't refuse, right? Just like you keep saying you don't want Old Antique to see that memory, and then change hands and give it to me. You are just restraining your desires and not willing to bear the loss of something at the same time. It's just responsibility. After all, how much have you grown now compared to the person you were in the past? At least not in this sense... No, I don't think so. Backwards!"

"That makes sense..."

Mikael slowly opened his eyes. His answer was still unhurried, and he didn't mean to be irritated at all. This actually made the Herrscher of Knowledge feel a little bit bad...

"So, you want to persuade me to simply reject Hua?"

The corners of the Herrscher of Knowledge's mouth twitched.

At the beginning, she felt that it didn't matter if she refused. It was a beautiful thing for Old Antique to reject this pervert. Everyone had a bright future. But think carefully about what Ling Shuang said... If the result of waiting for fifty thousand years is rejection, then Old Antique will not lose the hope of living and then...

no! That kind of thing is absolutely not possible!

She seems to have exerted too much force and needs to regain her rhythm!

But at this moment, the voice of the person who was obviously one of the protagonists in this matter, but who had been silent for a long time without any sense of existence finally sounded again:

"Alright, Herrscher of Knowledge, let's end this topic first."

"Old antique, why are you so and so... Why are you holding me back like this? How can I..."

"Changing the subject doesn't mean leaving."

Hua gently pushed aside her bangs, raised her left hand, hesitated for a moment and then gently held Mikael's wrist.

"Emotions are not everything we have, but I have always had a question - Mikael, since you chose not to answer the last question, then tell me the answer to this question, okay?"

It was obviously not a wise move to blindly answer the question without even knowing the question, but Mikael nodded silently.

"Okay, Mikael... I can know what happened 50,000 years ago, from the night you and Alicia got married to the time when you appeared on the back side of the moon in your final identity. ?"

Mikael's eyes widened, and the emotion in his eyes was no longer dull——

"Pfft - Hahahaha! Hahahahaha! Herrscher of Knowledge, look at it. There is still a thorn in your old antique heart. No matter what I said just now, there will be no results."

The Herrscher of Knowledge lost face and of course wanted to fight back, but Hua said before her in a very calm tone:

"Mikael, you know, whenever you are cornered by a question, you will change the subject with such an exaggerated and embarrassing smile."

Mikael's smile quickly disappeared, and not long after, he tried to force out a smile again, but no matter how hard he applied his lips and how much his cheek muscles stretched to both sides, the corners of his mouth could not be raised at all.

His eyes opened and closed, and moved from side to side, but in the end, he lowered his head deeply.

"never mind."

Forget it.

The reason why he chose to conceal it at the beginning was that he was afraid that there would still be higher-dimensional consciousness in the Cocoon of Finality. However, for 50,000 years, he would occasionally show some specious wishes, but from beginning to end there was no existence. thwart him in any way. In other words, maybe there is no higher-dimensional existence, or maybe a higher-dimensional existence has no objection to what he wants to do.

Moreover, if the other party really knows everything, then even the thoughts buried deep in his heart will not be able to escape.

If the other party is not aware of the inner thoughts, that is to say, what can actually be said under the cover of the power of consciousness.

Even if you just say something, that's enough...

He has... really can't... hold this in alone...

"Herrscher of Consciousness... Consciousness... you do it and synchronize that part of my memory to Hua."
