The ending of the volume and the foreshadowing of the final outcome
At the first quarter of the evening, sunlight from the ruins of the palace mingled with holographic particles from the interstellar chapter. Xiaodou's cheongsam transformed into a rainbow of elemental streams, revealing her elemental rat form beneath. The claw heart rune glowed with a tenth glimmer of light. Young Marquis Lin's jade pendant shattered in two, one half engraved with "001," the other with Xiaodou's rat claw mark. As they reassembled, they echoed the beating of a mechanical heart.
"It turns out that every time you go on a blind date, you are the one looking for me." He stroked Xiaodou's ears with his fingertips, and the fragments of the jade pendant reflected the encounter scenes in various worlds: the cherry blossoms in the campus chapter, the dragon cave in the Western fantasy chapter, and the clinic window in the modern chapter.
Xiaodou nibbled at the edge of the fragment and spat out the holographic words "See You in Reality," interspersed with Lin Shen's temperature reading from the modern era. The mechanical cat's portal vibrated nearby, and the scent of disinfectant and catnip wafted from within—the very scent of Lin Shen's clinic.
[Sweet core cross-generational theme]
"Young Marquis Lin!" Shen Yurong came over, supported by her maid. The jade pendant on her chest had resonated with Xiaodou's rune, transforming into a light pattern of "Wings of Freedom". "It turns out that winning or losing in a family fight is far less important than sincerity."
Young Marquis Lin stuffed half of the jade pendant into Xiaodou's paw: "You taught me that sweetness is not a calculation of being well-matched, but the courage to be close to you across time and space."
Xiaodou used his tail to roll up the veil (sealing the slime monster), and the Cthulhu tentacle characters on the edge of the veil unexpectedly degenerated into a love letter of "L·S+Xiaodou", and the handwriting was exactly the same as Lin Shen's medical notes in the modern chapter.
[The Ultimate Threat of Cthulhu Larva]
"Sweet~ Devour~"
A cheongsam-clad Cthulhu larva suddenly emerged from the well. It gnawed at Memory Crystal 001, revealing a scene from the present-day story, where Lin Shen was being dragged into the abyss by tentacles. The larva's tentacles wrapped around Xiaodou's tail, and the suction cups at its claws reflected the text in bubbles: "Sweet Devouring Project 99% Complete."
"Let her go!" Young Marquis Lin swung his sword at the young creature. The light pattern on the blade, "Guardian No. 006," resonated with Xiaodou's rune, triggering a cross-volume personality fusion alarm. Xiaodou's elemental rat form began to display interstellar mecha patterns, and the mechanical cat's emergency communication pierced his mind:
"Warning! Concept Rat King fusion degree is 100%, the reality defense line is about to collapse!"
[The sweet intersection of reality and fantasy]
The portal suddenly expanded, and the voice of Lin Shen from the modern chapter pierced through time and space: "Xiaodou! Catch the heart fragment!"
A fragment of a mechanical heart passed through the portal, engraved with "001+10=11" (a reference to Volume 11). Xiaodou instinctively gnawed on the fragment, his subspace stomach erupting with a torrent of energy from fourteen lifetimes of memories. Within this torrent emerged the image of Lin Shen's three souls united as one. He smiled and opened his arms. "Welcome home, my sweetie."
The young Cthulhu screamed, its tentacles wrapping around the fragments of Young Marquis Lin's jade pendant. "You can't escape... The sweetness of reality has long been my trap!"
Azuki's mecha patterns completely covered his body, and from his claws, he fired an energy wave of "L·S + Azuki = ∞," blasting the larva into the holographic vortex depicted in "Volume 14: The Sweet Junction of Reality and Fantasy." At the edge of the vortex, the neon lights of Lin Shen's clinic from the modern story appeared. The man beneath them turned, revealing a mechanical heart pendant around his neck that bore the same symbol as Azuki's.
[The hook at the end of the volume and the foreshadowing of the series finale]
- Visual memory points:
Xiaodou's mecha form stepped on the ruins of the palace, and the light wings of "Guardian No. 001" spread out behind him. The light wings were composed of ancient Chinese Xipa, Western fantasy dragon scales, and interstellar mecha fragments. Each piece reflected the holographic words "Sweetness Never Fades".
- Ultimate Hook:
- The mechanical cat's alarm indicates that "cross-volume personality fusion is out of control", and Xiaodou's pupils split into reality and fantasy;
- The fragments of Young Marquis Lin's jade pendant float into reality and transform into the door screws of Lin Shen's clinic. The number "006" on the screws and the clinic's door number "666" form a guardian coordinate matrix;
- The Cthulhu ink seeping out from the bottom of the well reads "The real Lin Shen has long been my puppet." A fragment of Lin Shen's medical records from the modern era surfaced from the ink, showing that the diagnosis of "rat phobia" had been crossed out and replaced with "sweetly devouring."
- Emotional Conclusion:
Xiaodou nuzzled Young Marquis Lin's palm and tucked the interstellar wedding dress fabric around the edge of the portal with his tail. "Squeak! (Next time I go on a blind date, I want to wear this!)"
He smiled and caught her. The jade pendant fragment resonated with the mechanical heart pendant, and the words "Volume 14, We Are Here" appeared in the air, interspersed with the glimmer of the numbers of the guardians of each world: 002, 003, 005, 006...
