Chapter 278: His Premonition
The royal palace, night.
Anno is dining in her palace, though her body has shrunk and she needs more energy.
She had just woken up, and Bai Yan and the others, fearing she might be hungry, immediately prepared a large table of food for her, all of which were her favorite dishes.
However, she ate somewhat absentmindedly. Usually, she had a great interest in food and would eat three meals a day as usual, even if she didn't need food to replenish her energy. Her enthusiasm for food had never diminished.
Now, facing a table full of delicious food, she found herself unable to enjoy her meal.
Seeing that she hadn't eaten much and seemed a bit distracted, Sitar reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking, "Is it not to your liking?"
For Anuo, it was unprecedented for her not to like the food; she had never said she couldn't eat before, no matter what had happened.
Distracted by Sitar, Anno snapped out of her reverie and gave him a forced smile. "I don't know either, I just can't eat."
For some reason, she kept thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
The sight of the Bloodstone and the core fragments shattering before her eyes, and Caesar's whisper in her ear as she was about to be sucked into the spacetime rift.
She couldn't hear what Caesar said to her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't recall what he had said.
She didn't even see Caesar's final moments as he fell into the spacetime rift.
He disappeared without a trace right before her eyes. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, only a sense of anxiety. With the power of the Upper Crescent Moon, perhaps she could find Caesar again.
But among so many spacetime rifts, there are more than a dozen marked by the waxing crescent moon that contain fragments of her core...
There are also hundreds of unmarked spacetime rifts, and it's still unknown which spacetime Caesar fell into. Searching for them one by one is almost impossible.
Not only Caesar, but even for the core fragment that she had already marked, the Upper Crescent Moon's abilities couldn't allow them to travel back and forth safely in a short time.
This alone is enough to give them a headache.
And there's Brightman's dream.
She maintained the same attitude towards Brightman as before, and his dreams would not change anything.
An enemy is an enemy, and everything that happened to her left her with a lingering resentment towards the past.
With the comfort and companionship of her family, she gradually healed her past wounds and will no longer bring them to the forefront.
She has a long road ahead of her and cannot dwell on the past, but that doesn't mean the past can be erased.
It's just buried deep in my heart, and I only think about it occasionally, sighing to myself and that's it.
But whenever it involves people related to her past, she can't calm down, nor can she forgive anyone related to the present. She can only take revenge where necessary and get what she deserves. Only after everything settles down can she move forward peacefully and not feel as bad when she talks about the past.
Recalling Brightman's dream, her thoughts were complicated. Was he hateful? He was a pawn, a weapon, in Dennis's hands from beginning to end.
But he was indeed on Dennis's side, even if he was just a pawn.
Is he pitiful? If you say he doesn't have her core fragment, then he's not so pitiful. After all, he doesn't even understand love, and he doesn't have any emotions. He can't feel joy or sorrow.
He happens to be the one most deeply influenced by her core, from which his dreams about her arise, along with his obsession with her and his longing for love.
It was only when he developed feelings that he became so pathetic.
In the end, he was even willing to sacrifice himself to save her.
Although she didn't see it, she saw it in Mingxiao and the others' consciousness.
Brightman saved her, but was crushed by the time-space turbulence.
Thus, their grudges vanished into that pitch-black wormhole.
Now it seems like everything is finally settling down, but with so many things happening, things can't settle down.
Even as a Zerg, she longed for a peaceful life, to do what she loved, instead of constantly getting embroiled in these troubles.
She was probably just unlucky. She finally found the core, only to discover it had a huge hole in it. And to make matters worse, it was not just one fragment. When they finally found the last piece of the core, it shattered into more than a dozen pieces.
The moment she saw the core fragment shatter before her eyes, she felt like dying.
What kind of unlucky constitution is she? Is there anyone more unlucky than her?
Thinking of this, Anno became somewhat anxious. She placed her hand on her chest, feeling the energy in her core.
Her core is now extremely fragile, with tiny cracks on it, as if it would shatter completely with just one blow.
In her vision of Sital, she saw her own core shatter.
So, she...
etc?
Anno paused slightly when the thought crossed his mind: precognition?
Sitar's Premonition...
She suddenly looked up at Sitar, who saw her flustered movements and stroked her head, saying, "If you don't want to eat, then we won't. Let's go for a walk."
Anuo stared at him for a long time, but couldn't figure out what he was like. The thought that had just crossed her mind was slowly fading away, but the strange feeling that lingered in her heart never dissipated.
Sitar picked her up and carried her out of the palace. Mingxiao and the others followed, keeping a respectful distance.
Anno hugged Sitar's neck, rested on his shoulder, and looked at his few followers, lost in thought again.
In a daze, her vision blurred for a moment, and the faces of Mingxiao and the others suddenly became indistinct.
She was startled and looked again. The others were following closely behind, with nothing particularly different.
That strange feeling grew stronger and stronger...
Sitar sensed her unease and gently patted her back, saying, "You just stay in the palace these days. Don't worry about anything else. We will definitely retrieve the core fragment. Dennis and Brightman are already imprisoned and awaiting judgment again..."
"Bryman?"
Upon hearing the name, Anno looked up from Sitar's shoulder in surprise. "He's still alive?"
Sitar stopped in the courtyard, looked at her, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing her surprise, Sitar said slowly, "He saved you, but he also caused your downfall, and even got Mingxiao and the others killed. Do you still care about him?"
Hearing Sitar's words, Anno was stunned again. First of all, when she woke up, she had already gone through the events that happened on the mineral asteroid in her consciousness network and had also seen their memories. Brightman was indeed shattered by the turbulence, and even Sitar and the others thought he was dead. She was surprised that Sitar actually said he was still alive.
Moreover, what does it mean to lose Mingxiao and the others?
Weren't Mingxiao and the others following behind the whole time?
Anno looked behind him and saw only three people: Caesar, Obsidian, and White Flame.
Her mind went completely blank. Something was wrong, very wrong.
Putting everything else aside, in the blink of an eye, Mingxiao and the others disappeared, while Caesar was still standing perfectly fine in front of her.
Although she was happy to see that Caesar was alright, this strange scene made her unable to be happy for a while.
Mingxiao and the others wouldn't play pranks on her, especially not at a time like this.
Sitar said, "What do you mean by losing Mingxiao and the others?"
Anno's thoughts became chaotic, and the scene before her eyes became increasingly blurry. She couldn't hear what Sitar was saying in her ear at all.
When she came to her senses, she found herself standing alone in the courtyard; everyone else had disappeared.
Everything around her was indistinct except for the crystal tree in the courtyard and the long corridor in front of her.
It was very quiet; no sound came from her, and her consciousness network was offline.
She stood there stunned for a few seconds, and the surrounding scenery began to expand. The smooth, mirror-like ground began to extend infinitely, and the palace became an empty world.
There was still only a crystal tree and a long corridor beside her.
She saw someone walk down the corridor; tall and imposing, it was her mother, Séville.
"Mother?"
Anno called out, but Sevier seemed not to hear her and did not respond.
She started walking towards Sevier, walking faster and faster until she started jogging. After two minutes, she still hadn't reached Sevier.
No matter how she ran, the corridor, less than ten meters away from her, always maintained a considerable distance from her.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to stop and watch Sevier walk down the corridor, with someone by her side holding her hand. That person... was her.
Judging from her appearance, she was sixteen or seventeen years old. She walked down the corridor chatting and laughing with Sevier and disappeared before her eyes.
After they disappeared, Sitar appeared in the corridor. He stopped in the middle of the corridor, turned around, and looked at her.
Just as Anno thought that Sitar could see her, a figure passed through her body and walked towards Sitar.
Anno watched as "she" walked up to Sitar and smiled as she put her arm around Sitar's neck.
Sitar looked tenderly at the girl in front of him and lowered his head to kiss her.
