Chapter 87 Maybe It’s the End of the World
The person standing up suddenly made Xing choke on the last bite she had just swallowed. She patted her chest with one hand and swallowed it dryly. With the other hand, she quickly grabbed Jing Yuan's arm and stopped him, "Wait, you're not going to look for them, are you?"
"What else?" "Jing Yuan" looked at her puzzledly, as if he couldn't understand why she couldn't do this.
But judging from the fact that he remained stable despite being pulled unexpectedly, this man was obviously prepared.
Oh no, it seems like I have been seen through!
Xing blinked and prepared to execute the second stage. After all, the reward has been received, and the mission must continue.
Xing sniffed, a few tears came out, she knelt on one knee, hugged Jingyuan's right leg tightly with both hands to prevent him from moving, and then sobbed, "I have a pair of parents to support, a pair of siblings to keep alive, and a few edible pets. General, please have pity on me!"
Jing Yuan pulled him up from the ground with gentle but unquestionable strength, and then asked softly, "What kind of edible do you mean?"
This simple question was more like a threat. Xing immediately imagined Jing Yuan smiling and pulling Pam by the ears, then setting up a frying pan and looking at the piggy bank, cat cakes and nightmare tapirs beside him. He said with regret, "Since you can eat so much, just eat them all."
The "can eat" here refers to both "can eat a lot" and "can be eaten as edible", which makes people laugh...
wrong! Xing shook her head, immediately throwing the voice of shutting up out of her mind, and continued tearfully, "General, aren't you still looking for the Black Swan? I know this one! Liuguang Yiting is my home, really!"
This is indeed true. After all, the Starry Sky Train is home, and people from Liuguang Yiting live at home, so it is reasonable to round it up.
Thinking of this, Xing nodded heavily for his cleverness, and then heard "Jing Yuan" respond, "Then thank you very much."
...No, why does it feel like I was deceived by Dan Heng and Jing Yuan?
As she was thinking, she saw the black swan sitting in front of the dining table, watching the scene with great interest.
And Jing Yuan pulled his hand away without any surprise and sat down again, "There are too many people paying attention to me in this sea of stars."
In response, Black Swan chuckled and said, "Who wouldn't be curious about the future?"
Like a true fortune teller, Black Swan took down a neat deck of tarot cards, spread them out to the right in a fan-shaped arc, and made a gesture of invitation.
However, there is no need to shuffle or cut the cards, nor is there any need to recite any questions silently. It seems like it is just the pleasure of following your heart.
I clicked on one at random and pressed it to slide out.
The Black Swan turned it over and indicated, "The Hermit, reversed."
She didn't seem to want to interpret it further, so I asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
"It has many meanings, such as being lost, self-imprisoned, etc." Black Swan chuckled and put the card back into the deck. "But you know, divination is mostly about how the diviner speaks to your heart."
She put the deck of cards away, and seeing that I was silent, she continued in detail, "Of course, just because you didn't say any questions doesn't mean you don't have any in your mind. But if I were to say anything, I could be more specific about you personally."
"You are under some kind of great pressure, and you will hesitate or even resist yourself for fear of making mistakes. You stubbornly want to take responsibility for it yourself and are unwilling to confide it to your friends or seek professional help."
"......" I felt that what she said was wrong. After all, I was seeking professional help now.
But it is understandable. After all, this process feels very irregular, and the question I subconsciously ask in my mind has nothing to do with individuals, but whether future crises can be safely overcome.
Of course, I don’t know much about Tarot cards, so I was a little skeptical that Black Swan was deliberately looking for reasons to target me.
However, this kind of distrust was very offensive to the fortune teller, so I did not show anything. I just ordered two cups of new tea milk and handed one of them to the Black Swan as a reward.
Although I don't know the principle, but... "I heard that this kind of divination must be paid for."
The Black Swan took it with a smile and put it next to him, neither confirming nor denying the statement.
Xing, who had not expected to get another cup of new drink just by watching, immediately put in a straw and drank it. "So, General, you are looking for the Black Swan for divination? To be honest, this prediction is quite accurate. Can you calculate it for me when you have time?"
"Of course." Black Swan responded lightly, skipping the divination question and getting straight to the point, "You came here for memory. Are you finally ready to preserve those gorgeous memories?"
I didn't answer her question, but asked first: "If you get this memory, will you keep it in the Pure Land?"
This is a crucial question, and the answer to Black Swan will determine my next goal.
But... "You actually came here for it. No, it's better to say that you really came here for it."
Black Swan sighed, but there was no regret in his tone, instead it was filled with a sense of "finally here", "That cone of light is indeed in the Pure Land. It belongs to you, right?"
"How do you know?" I asked curiously. After all, the Black Swan definitely did not read the contents of that light cone, otherwise it would not have used the word "actually".
"That cone of light..." Black Swan paused for a moment and introduced it to me with some discomfort, "We usually call it the world."
"It is located in the very center of the Pure Land. The memories stored in it are enough to support the general framework for reshaping the world. Moreover, the line of small words condensed below best illustrates its importance."
Xing swallowed the fruit pulp in his mouth and asked quickly, "What small words?"
The Black Swan, who had originally skipped this part, looked at me and then slowly began to recite, "It is the future and the past, the end and the new life."
Xing, who had heard many riddles before, smacked his lips and said, "It seems to be just okay?"
Black Swan shook his head. "That is the 'world' that all rememberers are curious about, but no one has ever been able to read it successfully. We all guess that it was reinforced by Fu Li himself."
Xing nodded thoughtfully, "That does sound like a big improvement then."
As if he suddenly realized something, Xing looked at me in surprise, "Wait, Black Swan just said that the light cone belongs to you?"
"To be precise, the contents inside may belong to my past self."
I explained, but Naihe Xing simply ignored the first four words, then cut off the beginning and the end, and got the answer "It's me".
So Xing asked curiously, "What's stored in there?"
"...Maybe it's the end of the world."
Rememberers do not have physical bodies, which allows them to travel between memories, read memories, and perceive emotions.
Similarly, the so-called Pure Land, Sudhana, cannot be entered with a physical body.
"So, if you want to take back the 'world', you can either abandon your body and enter, or hire a rememberer to go." Black Swan hinted at the word "hire" meaningfully.
Jing Yuan looked at her knowingly, "If you still want to keep my memory, I have some other requests."
"First, no one can obtain this light cone, and no one can read this light cone."
Black Swan responded with understanding: "Memories are also private, not to mention that this is not an excerpted memory."
"Second, the memory must be left after I read the 'world', or even longer and further."
"This will mean that you will leave more memories in the light cone." Black Swan reminded him friendly, and then realized that if other people were not allowed to read it, then this memory would be like the 'world', and no one would know about it except Fu Li and Jing Yuan himself. "What do you want to leave for your future self?"
For the first time, Black Swan felt a little confused. The memories preserved within the light cone are mostly precious fragments, and it is rare that everything is recorded.
But Jing Yuan not only wanted to record everything, but he also prepared himself as if he was certain that he would forget it sooner or later.
Just like...his current state.
Xing looked left and right, and finally couldn't help asking, "So, General, you have periodic amnesia?"
She scratched her head, and felt that it didn't seem like she had lost her memory when she first met "Jingyuan". You can't say that "Jingyuan" has been pretending to be like this all along? That's too tiring.
And "Jing Yuan" did not respond to whether he had lost his memory, but only said cautiously, "It's a guarantee for myself."
Xing believed this and expressed great amazement, "No wonder Luofu has been able to maintain peace for so long."
This person has even taken into account the possibility of amnesia, not to mention other aspects, big and small.
So Xing looked at the Black Swan again, somewhat curious whether the Black Swan would agree to such conditions.
Although Xing trusts Jingyuan's character, he doesn't know how much trust Black Swan can have in him. Especially when these two requirements are combined, it sounds like: you bring the light cone out for me, but as for when I will leave the memory to you later, that is a distant thing.
However, Black Swan not only agreed, but also agreed very readily, and even specifically promised, "I will bring the 'world' here before the Qiongguan Formation is opened."
"Again, the Qiongguan Formation?" Xing, who was hearing this news for the first time, looked at them with some confusion, "Isn't Hu Lei already dead? Then who can this Qiongguan Formation be used against?"
The Black Swan smiled meaningfully, and then disappeared, along with the cup of new tea milk on the table.
So Xing subconsciously looked towards "Jing Yuan", then withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "I understand, I shouldn't ask."
Although he said that, Xing was extremely curious and moved his chair towards "Jingyuan".
"It's not really a secret, but please don't tell anyone." Jing Yuan responded helplessly, "The target of the Qiongguan formation is me."
