A long time ago, I had always naively thought that school was beautiful and the classes were harmonious.
In the end, Erya, who dominated all the classes below fifth grade, appeared.
When I reached junior high, I stubbornly believed that even if the school was no longer pure, even if the minors were already polluted, world peace should always exist.
That year was 2001, and Osama bin Laden appeared with a bang.
When I was about to graduate from high school, I felt that even if the world was no longer safe, even if the planet was already being stirred up by those big shots, there should at least be peace-loving aliens in the depths of the universe, right?
Everyone knew that that year, Pandora and her 300 came.
I was speechless, I was mad, and my dreams were shattered. But as a half otaku, I still had a piece of pure land. Even if the world was filthy, even if the flames of war burned the blue sky, at least there were beautiful creatures called lolis in this world, right? They could at least save the world, right? Even Pandora is usually quite obedient, isn't she?
Then I cried — — Liliana came.
No matter what, no matter how messy the video clips and audio signals were, I could be 100% sure that a certain naturally evil fake lolita really went too far this time.
"Maybe we can think on the bright side," my sister said with a subtle expression after listening to Liliana's fierce speech and the distress signals of the minor characters in the background. "After all, these are just bits and pieces. Liliana mentioned robbers and thieves, and she also mentioned trials. Maybe that girl is just enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens? Even if the method sounds a bit intense, she's not a bad child herself … "
I could only use this explanation to comfort myself.
"Lass Lin, can you take a peek? Even if you can't see what Liliana is doing, at least tell me if that crazy girl has become the public enemy of the universe! "
For the first time in my life, I rejoiced that I had a prophet by my side. Although in most situations, she was a tsundere who would add to my troubles with a venomous tongue, when faced with the pressure that Liliana caused, I felt that Lady Lin was unexpectedly cute in comparison.
"Well, Blockhead, there's finally a time for you to beg me." Lin Xue, who was sitting two seats away from me, had been fiddling with a bunch of small cards. She raised her head and smiled when she heard my words. Then, she walked past Shallow Shallow and Pandora who were sitting in the middle and extended the pile of cards in front of me. "Here, pick one. Liliana's fate is in your hands …"
"You've been addicted to tarot cards recently?" I curled my lips and took out a piece of paper. Flipping it over, I saw a line of words written on it. "Who said this was a tarot card! Are your tarot cards as cute as mine? "
I say, Lin Xue, can you not use your prophecy ability on such a boring matter?
"Well, the recording just now wasn't very clear and it was confusing." Lin Xue returned to her seat and continued to fiddle with the pieces of paper in her hands. "Liliana caused quite a ruckus and attacked a weak civilization. But Blockhead, you don't have to worry. She knows what she's doing. Just like what Sister Chen Qian said, it was just a matter of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens — — Liliana's style of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens."
"Believe in that girl. Liliana listens to you. Even if she goes crazy, there's a calm Empire commander and a few old and steady Azeroth Paladins by her side. Those people will remember your orders. So, at least for the time being, that girl won't cause any more trouble."
"But …" Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, Lin Xue suddenly revealed a fox-like evil smile. Looking at that smile, I knew that trouble was coming. "Although Liliana didn't cause any trouble for you, you're going to be in big trouble soon …"
Damn you, you little brat! If I wasn't afraid of you biting me, I would've fallen out with you long ago!
But no matter what, knowing that Liliana wasn't busy destroying the world, I heaved a sigh of relief. Then, I focused my gaze on Xi Weis. The latter gave us an apologetic look and shook his head. "That's all. We only received these signals from another world, but we couldn't identify their source and route. We tried to send a few calls to the source, but Liliana obviously couldn't receive them."
Tawil also stood up and added. "My research team and I analyzed the other normal information contained in these signals, and one of the footnotes regarding the status of the spaceship caught our attention. This footnote indicated that the Holy Army collided with a barrier when they entered a new world. The barrier didn't cause any structural damage to the spaceship, but it erased the spaceship's coordinates. At the same time, this barrier might have also prevented Liliana from locating the base and contacting us. Our initial judgment is that this is an information barrier. Although it sounds unbelievable, it's an information barrier that engulfs the entire universe, and its scale is unprecedented! I can't imagine how a normal world could produce such a thing naturally! "
"Then we'll treat it as man-made. That's not important." I waved my hand. "I just want to confirm one thing: Is it because of the existence of this barrier that we can't find Liliana's whereabouts, and that she can't hear any of our calls?"
Tawil pushed up his glasses. "In theory, yes. Of course, there are no absolutes in this world."
Can you not take such a long time to speak?
"This short signal seems to prove one thing: the barrier isn't unbreakable. It will occasionally open up once. Now, we've roughly located the 'direction' of the signal's source. Avalon's surveillance team is currently constantly scanning that area. As long as there's a second signal leak, we'll be able to lock onto its coordinates. Then, it's a problem of how to break through the information barrier."
"Go and arrange it. Let those Schilling technicians work hard." I exhaled. "At least Liliana's situation is clear. That girl is still alive and kicking. We have to find her in the shortest time possible. Also, is there anything else? If not, let's discuss how to settle down the next batch of Transmigrators. Today's focus is on whether Liliana, who is being hunted by her brother, can settle down in the City of Shadows … "
※ ※ ※
The fragmented information about Liliana from another world made us both happy and worried. The good news was that the girl was still alive and kicking, harming every living creature she saw. The bad news was that the other world wasn't peaceful. Furthermore, Liliana's arrival made the world even more chaotic. Perhaps she was just acting on behalf of the heavens on a whim against a group of Interstellar Bandits. However, those arrogant words didn't make me believe that the girl would calm down. Perhaps the next day, she would feel that the local government was unhappy and lead a 'holy war'. As for the reason …
Did a natural Black need that kind of thing?
In the afternoon, Poison Island Chestnut suddenly asked to see me. This temporarily diverted my attention from Liliana's matter. After asking, I found out that their world had been scanned by the Space-Time Management Center six hours ago. Now, a stable transmission channel had been established. In other words, the Cockroach's group of seven only had a few hours left in this world. Although according to the original plan, they only needed to stay in the Academy's Revelation for a few days before they could return and let Jingle complete the rest of the procedures, Poison Island still decided to come and greet them.
I really didn't expect it. I originally thought that it would take at least a month or two to find a world that wasn't recorded in the Space-Time Management Center. However, due to the sudden increase in power of Avalon's surveillance system, it was coincidentally scanned.
Every batch of Transmigrators had to return within 12 hours after being located in the world they came from. This rule was set by Sandora. It sounded a bit unreasonable and militarized, but even I couldn't change Her Majesty the Queen's decision. In fact, I also knew the necessity of this rule. In the past few days, the pressure on the World Tree had been increasing. The ordinary people of this world were also gradually becoming aware of the abnormalities around them. It wasn't that they saw or recognized the Transmigrators, but rather, the inharmonious nature of the world itself was affecting the real world. The information that Lin Xue brought was that recently, her Ability Group's subordinates had collected information that ordinary people were experiencing hallucinations and hearing hallucinations. It was as if they had peeped into another world. The most serious case occurred this morning. A fat otaku who wasn't even fourteen years old announced on the street that he had seen the detailed manufacturing method of Dragon Ball. Moreover, he had really mentioned two of the key steps. Although this tragic little fatty was killed by a group of black suited meteors three minutes later, this incident still made us nervous.
Near the third residential area, there were only two or three Osaka girls resting in a street park. Poison Island Chestnut, who had changed into a simple dress, was sitting on one side of a bench. And between me and her …
Sitting on the other side was a certain missy who had an expression of "I don't care" on her face, but was obviously protecting her food.
Lin Xue, ah, Lin Xue, I really … Just what is this girl thinking?
She kept saying that she was here to watch a certain "harem boy" who "has a harem full of sperm and has an unlimited moral integrity," and to prevent a certain ignorant young grass from being eaten by an old cow. Her actions were completely out of concern for the women of the world and the maintenance of the bottom line of human morality. But no matter how I looked at it, this girl was protecting her food, wasn't she? This wasn't the first time I had seen such an expression on Sandora and Shallow Shallow!
Other than that, I won't ridicule Lin Xue for bringing up the issue of "the bottom line of human morality". Can she explain to me what was going on with the long list of adjectives hanging above my head?
"I will send a flagship and a batch of New Eden Federation Fleet that has just arrived here to await orders to go with you." Noticing the nervousness and worry on Poison Island's face, I ignored Miss Lin, who was sitting in the middle pretending to close her eyes to rest, but her ears were pricked up. Using a very reliable (I thought) tone, I said, "This is what I promised from the start. Other than the regular soldiers, there will also be around a thousand Night Elf Druids and Beastman Shamans from Azeroth, as well as dozens of reliable assistants sent by Sylvanas. The former is an expert in healing natural wounds, while the latter is an expert in undead creatures known as' Apothecaries'. They should have a way to solve the undead crisis. This time, we found your world almost two months in advance. Perhaps the situation there will be better. It might even be possible to rebuild human society there."
"That's right, that's right. This block of wood doesn't have any other good points, but his hot-blooded attitude of going around to save the world can really increase the affection of ignorant girls." Lin Xue closed her eyes as she didn't miss the opportunity to undermine me.
"Your relationship … Even though it is strange, it really makes one envious." Poison Island's Chestnut looked at Lin Xue, who was resting with her eyes closed, and a certain leader, who was smiling helplessly. A look of realization appeared on her face. Then, she smiled warmly and said, "Also, I am really grateful for your concern. It seems that we are the most special group of people among all the foreigners who ended up here, right? This feeling is really weird. "
Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me reflexively and hurriedly tried to clear herself of suspicion, "Who is a couple with this fellow!"
I explained to Poison Island, "What's so special about it? Different transmigrators have different treatment. If you want to talk about special, didn't a bunch of fellows who called themselves Dragon Aotian came to the City of Shadows a while ago? They were planning to kill monsters in the civilian area and pick up girls. You don't know how they are treated now … Tsk tsk. Oh right, have you seen the Vermillion Countenance Blood? "
Lin Xue immediately pinched my thigh with all her might, "Stupid blockhead, what are you saying! You're scaring the young lady! "
I grimaced in pain as I exclaimed, "Huh? You've seen it too? "
Lin Xue, "… How would I know that the 'Human Philosophy and the Development of Consciousness' that my bastard little brother reads every day would be about that kind of thing!"
Alright, I recalled the cover of the 'World Politics and Social Structure' book that my elder sister had found when I was in my second year of high school … It was a dark history! Back then, my elder sister's discerning eyes had left an indelible impression on me. To put it in a more bizarre way, a certain someone had finished reading every evil book together with my elder sister … Not a single one escaped! Now that I found out that Lin Xue had also played the role of my elder sister, could it be that the scariest thing in this world wasn't the abyss, but all living beings that had the attribute of an "elder sister"?
"I feel that you have been immersed in your own imagination since the beginning and can't extricate yourself from it."
Lin Xue looked at me with a strange gaze and snorted.
"Blockhead, let me give you a suggestion."
"Hm?"
"Although those shamans and druids will be very useful, I still suggest that you let them bring an EOP-03 over." Lin Xue placed her hands behind her head and leaned against the back of the bench, "I saw it this morning. I'm sorry, but it's too late to save it."
I was stunned on the spot, while Poison Island Chestnut looked at me curiously, "E … EOP-03? What is that? "
I looked at Lin Xue's face with a probing gaze, and the latter only smiled helplessly at me.
"It's a type of weapon, the Celestial Body Melting Bomb. A zero vector force field binds the spreading source of psionic waves that can cause a chain reaction. After it is released, it will spread to the entire planet at the speed of light, burning the planet into glass within an hour …" I slowly explained the meaning of EOP-03, and Poison Island's face turned paler as I explained. "In Kepulu Star Zone, we used it to destroy a planet that was infected by the Zerg …"
"A cheap and quick infection purifier," Lin Xue added, "Your world is finished, there's no need to save it."
"Hey, it can't be? How could it be so fast? "
I was in disbelief. We found Poison Island's world so early, but why wasn't the latter sturdy at all?
"The spreading speed of dead bodies increases exponentially," Lin Xue shrugged, "And more importantly, they evolved … Tsk, what a third-rate plot."
"How …" Poison Island couldn't accept such a reality, and could only mutter to himself, "Could it be … that everyone died in such a short time …"
Reality was different from anime.
In an anime, we could say that some people were supporting characters, and some were cameos. They might only appear once or twice, and no otaku would focus their attention on every female high school student that passed by the corner of the screen. But to Poison Island, those were all living people, and they were even her family and friends. Everything that she knew was gone, and she even had to bring a fleet equipped with the "Celestial Body Melting Bomb" to destroy the world that she used to live in. Even if she had already made up her mind to live in the City of Shadows, such a thing was still unacceptable.
At this moment, I suddenly understood why Lin Xue insisted on following me. So she wanted to tell me about this … I had to say, this girl really understood my personality too well. She knew that only by saying it in this kind of atmosphere would it make the whole situation as easy to accept as possible.
However …
"You haven't finished, have you?"
I glanced at Lin Xue. I was all too familiar with the curve of this girl's lips. She was definitely up to no good.
"Blockhead, do you want to follow me?"
As expected, Lin Xue still had something to say, but the contents of her words surprised me.
"Go … to the world of 'School's Revelation'?"
"Ah, that's right. I won't tell you the reason, but there are definitely benefits to it." Lin Xue leaned her upper body over and shook her finger mysteriously at me. "Although there is no need to save that planet, it is best that you go and take a look. You might be able to save a portion of the refugees. More importantly, you might come across something interesting."
I looked at Lin Xue confusedly. This girl always knows everything, but she always leaves things unsaid. I am getting more and more unable to see through her.
No matter what, I trusted Lin Xue's words. Since I had nothing to do, going on a short trip wouldn't cost me much, but …
"Hey, why do I have to go with this fellow?"
The time was three hours later, and the location was at the boarding area of the royal spaceport. A certain 92.3cm was throwing a tantrum, unwilling to board the spaceship no matter what.
"Unless I am going to look for my father, I am not going anywhere!"
I looked at Lin Xue confusedly. Alright, I have already lost count of the number of times I expressed my confusion towards this darn girl.
If she wanted me to go because destroying the planet requires a high-level leader to oversee it, then why did she want this doll to follow along?
"To relieve your boredom," Lin Xue grabbed the strap of Mercury Lamp's dress and threw the small doll into the boarding shuttle. "For such an inconspicuous mission, even Shallow Shallow is too lazy to participate in it, so I had to find a doll to accompany you. Or do you prefer other types of dolls?"
Alright, I knew that this girl wouldn't speak properly.
"Alright, alright, I understand. Bring her along. Whatever you say makes sense."
After saying that, I pushed Mercury Lamp, who was about to come out, back into the shuttle's cabin door. Then, I led the boarding team out of the spaceport.
