Chapter 137 Comic World Part 2

The speed of time in the real world is consistent with that in the comic world. When the animated PV in the real world is broadcast, several months have passed in the comic world.

During these months, the construction of Licheng came to an end. Most people adapted to this society without superpowers and began to get used to the current legal provisions that everyone is equal and that killing is illegal.

And under the pressure of superpowers, the underdeveloped technology of this world also made rapid progress during this period of time.

The original floating city relied on supernatural powers to float in the air, but today's Licheng relies on technology and pillars - a thick column connecting the sky city and the ground beneath the city supports the city.

It is no longer empty and floating, prosperous and decadent. Instead, it is solid, like taking root from the land and the lowest level of society, and then growing and breaking through the land, like a flower blooming in the air.

Facing the morning sun and the beautiful blue sky, it blooms with its beauty.

Tide replaced the Imperial family, but they did not immediately elect a leader for this new country, and things are still handled in a multi-person council format.

At this moment, in the new meeting hall of Tide, the air seemed to have turned into ice, solidified and emitting a chill that made it hard for them to breathe.

Only the top executives of Tide were sitting here, and what they discussed were secrets that could not be disclosed to the general public.

"Do you have any basis for saying this?"

Sang Feiling sat upright at the table. She always smiled brightly, like a breeze blowing from the sky. But at this moment, her tone was unusually serious and stiff. Even her smile was restrained, revealing a cold expression that was filled with distrust and doubt.

"Yiming." Hua Yizhi's face turned even worse. He almost wanted to walk away, but in the end he said, "This is not something you can joke about."

The two of them represent the old school of Tide, veteran members of the former supernatural guild who have survived to the present day.

At the same time, they are also people who have experienced the era of the prophet, met the prophet himself and believed in him. It was the prophet who led the old school to create a new world, and it was the prophet's predictions that supported them to persevere after the most devastating failure until now.

But on this day, the adopted son of the prophet Shuang Buyan, the spark in his prophecy, stood up and told them -

They trusted the wrong person.

How could I accept this?

Tang had kept her head down from the beginning, but An Huyu, who was sitting next to her, could see her trembling fingertips by turning her head.

The person her father trusted most might have deceived her father, and then let the man who would cry so hard even when he told a lie kill his companion and become an inexplicable betrayer.

Her father's special ability is even healing. Tang inherited her father's special ability, and she knows what kind of position a healer plays to her companions.

Trustworthy people are the guarantee of safety and the trump card that can save a tragedy.

Because that was how Tang was when she was in Tide. Everyone liked her and protected her, and she also hoped that she could heal everyone immediately.

But Tang Zeng, the man with healing powers, killed his companion.

Tang himself couldn't accept that his father could be such a despicable person.

At this moment, after hearing what Yiming said, Tang couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Maybe her father didn't mean to be a betrayer, maybe he was just... deceived by the prophet.

An Huyu, who had become jumpy again after seeing An Heyu again, couldn't jump out and say something funny at this time.

They belong to the new school like Yiming, who is already a representative of the new school, along with Yishi, Jianyue and others.

The new faction consists of people who joined Tide after the fall of the former Superpower Guild. They have never seen a prophet before, but joined Tide because of the same ideals. However, they will also be infected by the emotions of the old faction members, and thus believe in the prophet who once led the former Superpower Guild.

They did not refute as much as the old school, but they also remained silent and found it difficult to accept.

An Huyu looked worriedly at Yiming, the only one standing.

Yiming had seen the prophet before, because the prophet Shuang Buyan was the adoptive father who raised Yiming. He taught and raised him, occupying almost half of Yiming's life.

But at this time, although Yiming's voice was a little dry and sad, his tone was very firm: "Buyan, Shuang Buyan is not dead. He is Yu Xiao, an SS-rank domain-type esper."

Only two people know that Yu Xiao is the prophet Shuang Buyan, the illusionist Heiger and the god behind the former empire, Libra, and they are unable to tell them the truth. However, Yiming still managed to get the truth from Jue Huishen and the former royal family of the floating city.

Well-informed people know that a wandering SS-class psychic once came to the floating city, faked his death, and then left in a new body. They watched the two people fall into the sea, and they could remember the man with long light golden hair who they saw deep in the water, and the man who called himself "father" to the illusionist.

The death of the former lord of Somemu Castle and his death in a revengeful way, as well as An Heyu's denial when An Huyu asked him about the situation at that time: It was not Heige who did it.

At this time, An Huyu and Dan were still wandering around the new capital, but Wu Yu, the royal princess of the old empire, was also in this meeting hall.

"I once said that you were causing unrest and endangering the empire." She frowned, and some people looked angry as soon as she opened her mouth.

But the pink-haired girl ignored the sharp glances and continued, "I still think so now."

She told the whole story of the deal between the nobles of the old empire and the Libra of God, and unveiled the last veil before the truth.

It is also the most terrifying truth about this world.

"If the prophet had not completed the deal with God, your actions would have led to the destruction of the entire world." Wu Yu said without any emotion. She seemed to think of the person who told her "Don't learn from Libra", and now she understood why that person said that.

As expected of a prophet, that person was right.

She couldn't learn the methods of the gods, nor could she be as indifferent as the gods. She couldn't completely abandon her feelings, just like when she saw An Huyu again, she doubted him, but she also hoped that he didn't betray the empire, and gave him a chance to keep An Huyu by his side, instead of killing him directly for treason.

Wu Yu found that one day she was eager to tell others the secrets of this world that she had hidden for many years. She said: "The deal between the prophet and the gods must have included indulging your behavior and abandoning the royal family, allowing you to overthrow the empire. The gods agreed because the prophet would pay a price that satisfied the gods."

Maybe I'm still a little unwilling, she thought.

The empty seats of the royal family, which represent noble status but are not occupied, are obviously the rebels that the prophet of the empire cares about, as well as the deal with God that no one knows about.

"If the Prophet had been an Empire man from the beginning, you would not have won."

Wu Yu admitted that her previous thoughts were wrong, but she still believed that if the prophet was a member of the imperial royal family, they could do better.

"If this is true," Hua Yizhi murmured, "the prophet, Shuang Buyan, knows that unrest will destroy the world. Without Heige, wouldn't we destroy this world?"

Recalling the final scenes of that war, many people felt suffocated.

"The sky cracked at that time. Was the world being destroyed?"

After they defeated the gods, a black veil appeared in the sky, with white cracks spreading.

They were so close to death that they almost caused everyone to die in the collapsing world, committing an unforgivable mistake in the name of saving the world.

"We almost destroyed the world with our own hands?" People with a strong sense of justice cannot accept this.

But they clearly have beautiful expectations and hope that the world will become a better place.

The truth turned the ease and joy they had felt before into a bubble-like dream that would disappear with a single blow.

"It seems that the person who hid the truth from us was the right one. If we knew the truth at that time, the royal family would not have needed to send anyone and we would have just disbanded." Sun Shen said with a wry smile.

Even now, after learning the truth, I am afraid that many people will begin to regret and constantly blame themselves and beat their hearts.

Without that person, the situation would be worse than they could ever imagine.

Sang Feiling closed her eyes, as if thinking for a long time. Her legs were already fitted with prosthetic limbs, but her half-scarred face was exposed. She could face herself calmly because she knew she was doing the right thing.

But today she realized that what she thought was right was nothing but a malicious scam.

Do you regret it? This question popped into her mind.

And then what follows is - no regrets.

She remembered that a long time ago, when she first met the illusionist, the man had already expressed what she was thinking now.

And that person also said——

"Haig told me that we were both right." Sang Feiling sighed.

The illusionist thought they were right, they were right.

That's why he kept these things secret and went to the floating city alone to become the prophet of the empire, a position he didn't want to be.

Therefore, the road ahead was paved for them, allowing them to reach their new world with an indomitable morale.

An unspeakable emotion surged in Sang Feiling's heart, and her eyes were wet for a moment.

Because while saying these comforting words, that person also clearly looked confused.

"We were all protected." Lost, who had been in poor health since the war, said the same thing. He paused, "I'm ashamed. I didn't even have a chance to talk to him."

He lived in seclusion and avoided the world, and also avoided the truth, and did not know what other SS-level people knew.

In the end, he was saved by a young junior and recovered from the terrible defeat.

"Whether it's guilt or gratitude, we can't do anything now." Yan Chang shook his head and put his hand on his forehead for support. "It feels terrible to feel powerless."

In the meeting room, some sensitive people began to sob softly.

They have learned the truth, learned that the person they trusted before was not a human, but also learned that there is someone who has taken on everything for them and paved a way for them to believe that they can win if they work hard.

Although it is hard to accept, what is even harder for them to accept is that they cannot express their gratitude to the person who has made silent contributions.

Because it's too late.

"I'm glad I know the truth." Yiming spoke in this depressing atmosphere, his eyes still firm, "What I can't accept the most is that Li has to bear everything alone, and we know nothing about it."

After learning the truth, he kept recalling the night before Yu Xiao's death.

She wore a skirt as if to tease him, and chatted with him aimlessly with a smile, but she revealed an erratic sense of fragility.

He was obviously sad, but he just endured it. If he hadn't asked Jue Huishen, the matter would have remained hidden and would never have seen the light of day.

He spoke slowly and clearly, "Li protected us and gave us a chance to fight for Dawn. We did it and we didn't let him down." He smiled slightly and said, "I think he would be happy too."

After all, his brother is such a gentle person.

"Wait a minute." Lost said suddenly.

He thought about it and proposed a possibility.

"At that time, God was using our souls to repair this world." Lost said.

"Yes. So my healing doesn't work, and we can only rely on ourselves to fight it." When he mentioned this, Tang calmed down his emotions and spoke steadily.

"Although it's slow, our souls are indeed recovering." Lost pointed at himself, "I couldn't move at first, but now I can walk."

"You mean..." Not only one person said this, but the others also gradually widened their eyes and revealed expectant expressions.

"In the end, Heiger's ability to change the world may be close to that of a god, stronger than any of us." Lost said the last sentence, "If we can leave a little bit of our soul before it is completely consumed, we may be able to survive."

Just like when he proposed that Libra's ability had limitations during the war, he also proposed an opportunity that was only a guess, but very likely.

Although it was small, it boosted their morale.

As long as there is hope, they can stand up and rush forward tenaciously.

The Tide people took action immediately.

But a long time has passed, and although the original battlefield has not been renovated due to its special circumstances, it has become clean and orderly.

After losing their superpowers, the way they searched for energy bodies changed to using detectors developed by researchers specifically for superpowers. They searched continuously, and if they couldn't find any, they expanded the search area, densely covering every inch of land, leaving no gaps.

"What's wrong with those senior executives lately? Why do they hang around here every day?" People often talk like this.

"I heard they were looking for someone." Someone who knows a little bit would say, "Do you remember the choice you made a few months ago? It was that person."

"More than that, have you heard of the Imperial Prophet? A little further ahead is the Imperial SSS-level wanted criminal, the illusionist Heiger." Those who know more will point to the flower-like new city and say, "Licheng is named after him."

"That's such a good man. I really hope they can find him." The civilians who heard it prayed sincerely.

"The one who brought us such a peaceful life must be safe."

But as time went by, what started out as full of motivation turned into a day-to-day situation where there was no news.

But this will not be a reason for them to give up, because they are also such stubborn people, otherwise they would not have united together to challenge the empire.

"It's been too long." An Huyu would sometimes say dejectedly, "And now that I don't have superpowers anymore, I don't know if the superpowers are high enough to allow Bai Ge to keep a bit of his soul."

Then Tang Hui punched him and whispered, "Bah, bah, bah, don't say such sad words!"

Yiming would smile heartily and say, "It's only a few days, we'll find it eventually."

But when he said goodbye to his friends, he would count the time, then lower his eyes, revealing a trace of sadness.

He had been having trouble sleeping recently, so in the dead of night, he would walk alone at the site of the war, wandering quietly on the bumpy road.

"We are not the same kind of people." He recalled the nasty things he had said, "That's why I couldn't find you, right?"

The lights in the distant city were still bright, and the colorful lights illuminated half of the night sky. The highest lights illuminated the streets from top to bottom, gradually moving to the land under Yiming's feet.

It was as if the bronze captured their figures when they first met, following the constant spotlight.

The light was a bit dazzling, but Yiming didn't look away, he just squinted slightly. His dry eyes seemed to become moist, Yiming lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.

At that time he saw the person in the shadows, holding out his hand and saying that he wanted to take her away.

He didn't do it.

"I miss you, Li." He said in a muffled voice, like a stray dog ​​who couldn't find his home.

He couldn't find his brother.

"Are you crying?"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came into my ears.

Yiming lowered his arm almost instantly, and looked anxiously towards the source of the sound with red eyes.

He saw the incandescent light moving, slowly illuminating the shadows. He saw tiny dots of light, floating in the white light.

He also saw a figure being illuminated, appearing in front of him from the shadows, revealing a familiar face.

Black hair and black eyes, the cold face in my memory now raised the corners of his mouth, and teased as usual: "You are an adult now? Are you still crying?"

It is a sound that can only be recalled from memory every day.

The man stood under the light, and in the illumination of the light, he reappeared in front of Kazumiya.

Yiming stood in the shadow, in the darkness, chasing the light, running past like a happy little corgi.

He sniffed and hugged her with a permissive smile.

"Are you dreaming?" But the tears fell even more violently.

And when the lights faded from there and they re-entered the shadows of the night, the 'illusion' still did not disappear.

The bell of twelve rings, yesterday has passed, and today has entered a new tomorrow.

Li Li rubbed Yiming's head, and her warm palm seemed to convey unspeakable power. She said, "Do you need me to beat you up again?"

There was a cry, and then there was no more sound, and everything became quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but he said, "I'm glad you're still here."

The silly little Corgi was so easy to coax. He didn’t care what Li Li had hurt him, nor did he care how upset she had made him.

As long as Li Li could come back, he would be able to smile when they met again.

"Yes." Li Li smiled and said slowly and firmly, "I won't leave from now on, little Corgi."

She already has enough ability to do whatever she wants.
