"Qiye was taken out of the border by Bai Ze!"
Baili Pangpang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. When he saw the two figures disappear behind the aurora, he immediately spoke.
An Qingyu frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and stuffed the black coffin into Baili Pangpang's hands, "I'll go take a look, you guys stay here and don't move!"
An Qingyu's figure turned into a stream of light and flew out, but before he flew far, a series of cracking sounds were heard from the light blue aurora.
Dense cracks began to spread in this world. Cities and rivers were fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a dream bubble that was quietly shattered.
An Qingyu stopped in mid-air, glanced around, and muttered to himself:
"The world of [Virtual Reconstruction] is about to disappear..."
…
Heavy rain poured down from the clouds.
Tang Mingxuan, who was soaked all over, walked step by step on the deserted street with the baby in his arms.
The world gradually fell apart behind him. The buildings on both sides looked like faded illustrations, slowly melting away without a trace, but Tang Mingxuan seemed unaware of it.
He stepped on the puddles, staring at the sky in the distance, his brows furrowed tightly...
Suddenly, a streak of snow-white light flew out from the edge of the aurora and headed straight towards the direction where Tang Mingxuan was!
The moment this figure appeared, the water that had poured into the streets seemed to be guided by something and quickly rolled back, pouring into the nearly dried-up river. The heavy rain visibly became smaller, and a faint ray of sunlight shone through the thick clouds...
Seeing this scene, Tang Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed completely, with a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
In the drizzling rain, Bai Ze stepped on the soaked ground and slowly stopped in front of Tang Mingxuan. His glass-like eyes returned to normal, and the original violence and madness disappeared without a trace.
"Sorry, Captain Tang Mingxuan..." Bai Ze said apologetically.
"...I am the one who should apologize. I failed to protect you." Tang Mingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, handing the cub in his arms to Bai Ze, "Take good care of it. After this incident is over, I don't think I can be the captain of the 007 team anymore... I will leave Huaihai for a while."
Tang Mingxuan looked at the cub lying on top of Bai Ze's head, curiously fiddling with its horns. In a trance, he seemed to see his wife and daughter who had left him long ago.
He was silent for a moment, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, "But... I don't regret it."
Bai Ze carried the cub on his back and looked at Tang Mingxuan with a complicated look. He bent his front legs slightly and lowered his head.
"If it weren't for your shelter and protection over the years, my Bai Ze lineage would have been extinct. You are our eternal benefactor...
Please give it a name."
Give a name?
Tang Mingxuan looked at the cute little animal with round eyes above Bai Ze's head and was slightly startled.
The dripping rain created ripples in the pond. Tang Mingxuan looked up at the rain clouds that were gradually dispersing in the sky and spoke softly:
"Because of the birth of this little guy, Huaihai City experienced the heaviest rain in a hundred years... Let's call it 'Rain Birth'."
As soon as he finished speaking, his and Bai Ze's bodies faded away little by little in the gradually dissipating world, and finally turned into a vast white light and disappeared without a trace...
…
Island.
On the reef on the east side.
The rolling waves hit the rocks, splashing white waves. A handsome boy in a white shirt and heavy headphones around his neck was sitting quietly on the edge of the waves, listening to the ebb and flow of the tide.
The water soaked Tang Yusheng's clothes, but he was completely unaware. He stared at the Fang Tian Hua Ji standing in the sea beside him and slowly closed his eyes...
"Mother……"
His whispers were drowned out by the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, blending with the snow-white waves.
After an unknown amount of time, he let out a long sigh, slowly stood up from the reef, took a step forward, and disappeared into the waves.
…
"Nanaye!?"
"Nanaye!!!"
In the devastated valley, Baili Pangpang and others surrounded the unconscious Lin Qiye, shouting anxiously.
"Brother Qiang, what happened to Qiye?" An Qingyu turned his head and looked at Li Kengqiang who was walking quickly towards him, and asked seriously.
Li Kengqiang looked at the unconscious Lin Qiye and said solemnly: "This kid... I told you not to run out of bounds, why is he still so reckless?"
"What is beyond the boundary?"
Li Kengqiang thought for a moment, "Let me put it this way, my [Virtual Reconstruction] is to project my memories into your conscious world, allowing your consciousness to move freely in it, but the composition of human consciousness is very complex. Once you cross the boundary, it means breaking through the safety line I set for you and directly breaking into the edge of consciousness...
Once you get in there, it’s not easy to get out.”
"The edge of consciousness?" An Qingyu frowned and asked, "What will be the consequences?"
Li Kengqiang gave Lin Qiye a complicated look, "If you're unlucky... you might end up becoming a vegetable."
Hearing this, Baili Pangpang and others felt a pang in their hearts.
An Qingyu's brows furrowed more and more. He gritted his teeth, took out a set of surgical instruments from his arms, and walked straight towards the unconscious Lin Qiye.
"What are you going to do?" Li Kengqiang asked puzzledly.
"I have done some research on the structure of the human brain. I want to try to open his skull. Maybe I can wake him up..." An Qingyu said firmly.
Cao Yuan, who had just returned from his mad state, twitched his lips and asked tentatively: "Qingyu, how about you reconsider it?"
An Qingyu was about to say something else when the unconscious Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes, sat up abruptly from the ground, and gasped heavily like a drowning man, his face slightly pale.
Lin Qiye's sudden awakening startled everyone, and then they showed joy!
"Qingyu! Your trick is really useful! Qiye was directly scared awake!" Baili Pangpang began to applaud.
An Qingyu: ...
"Qi Ye, are you okay?" Jiang Er floated in front of him and asked with some concern.
Lin Qiye shook his heavy head, and after a long time, he spoke hoarsely: "I seem to have... had a dream, but I can't remember the content of the dream..."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Li Kengqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Qiye really fell asleep due to [Virtual Reconstruction], he didn't know how to explain it to General Huo...
Lin Qiye paused for a moment and glanced around:
"Why are we back? Is the world of [Virtual Reconstruction] over?"
"It's over." Returning to the topic, Li Kengqiang looked at them with a complicated look, "Huaihai City was spared from disaster, Bai Ze not only gave birth to a child successfully, but also recovered from his rampage state... You did a great job."
Li Kengqiang paused, turned his head to look at the east side of the island, and sighed.
"If only... we could be like you back then, how great it would be..."
