Chapter 30 Chapter 47 Autumn Butterflies

The door was blown open without a doubt, and the door made of special steel eventually turned into a piece of dented and twisted scrap iron.

The three of them went in together, but the teachers who were there before were gone.

"Why are they all gone?"

In fact, Bomo was already prepared to be scolded by Teacher Qianche again, but having nothing was more unsettling and frightening than being scolded by the teacher.

There were broken glass all over the ground, and traces of black mist were everywhere. There were traces of battle everywhere, and not a single place was good.

It's not hard to imagine what happened here.

"Be careful... eh!"

Pomo became extremely alert and planned to go in and check it out himself.

But Ni Lan bypassed his protection and walked in. The teenagers followed her nervously.

"Ni Lan, what are you going to do?"

He was alert and curious at the same time, and his behavior was very contradictory.

But before Ni Lan could answer, an explosion occurred under a broken window not far away, and the flames shot up into the sky, which was terrifying.

Puis extended his defensive area to protect the three people. The entire underground was shaking more violently. He finally managed to stand steady, and when he looked up, he found Ni Lan was already standing on the window frame.

"Ni Lan! Wait a minute!"

The boy was not afraid at all. He turned around to look at the two people and pointed in a direction.

"Don't come down, you have to go help Teacher Qianche."

After saying this, the boy jumped down without any regrets.

The two ran to the window together and found that the Lightless One, who had met them once before, was also below. Half of the ten Sealers had already left their posts to fight the intruders.

But Ni Lan gave them another choice, which left them no choice: Teacher Qianche was in some crisis, and they had to go!

Puyis suddenly realized that all of this was clearly planned by Ni Lan. Whether it was his colleagues who had their teacher's certificate stolen, or the crisis that Teacher Qianche encountered after entering the sealed land, Ni Lan seemed to know everything.

——He even knew what Xiao Bomo had predicted.

Puis hated the feeling of being controlled, but this was the best arrangement.

But no matter what, only by surviving can we "question".

"Let's go help Teacher Qianche!"

"knew!!!"

Pomo waved his arms reluctantly, but finally he and Puis went in the direction Ni Lan pointed.

——

Qiu Yaoyue's ability to hold on until now has almost reached its limit.

The seal is nowhere near being completed, and the Lightless Ones from the Shadow Land have also broken in. However, facing the zombies that are about to break free from their restraints, she doesn't even have time to consider whether anything has happened to the younger generations at the school.

"Mother, you know you can no longer stop it, and in the future, the alien world is destined to devour everything!"

Qiu Ye enjoyed the struggle of these old immortals. At the same time, he could feel the restraints on his body becoming lighter and lighter.

It's the last gasp of a dying force.

Qiu Yaoyue was panting and she didn't even have the energy to be weird with Qiu Ye.

She seemed to have made up her mind, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

[Three seconds until midnight]

But at this moment, she discovered that the blood and energy evaporating from the alien world reaction slowed down, and she could even see clearly the force with which Qiu Ye's twisted flesh and blood was wriggling.

But after a few brief seconds, everything began to flow backwards, including Qiu Ye who finally rushed towards him, and Qian Che who appeared not far above.

What... happened?

"Principal Qiu."

The boy's unfamiliar voice broke into Qiu Yaoyue's ears. At the same time, she felt her heavy body lighten, and the world of speeding forward and backward took a complete shape.

Her students who were fighting for control of the seal, her colleagues who were struggling to maintain the seal with her, were moving forward and backward, and she even saw Lactor using his body to block the approach of the Lightless One.

"...You are...wait, you are!" She turned and looked in the direction of the voice.

There is no doubt that all of this was caused by the boy in front of him wearing the uniform of Lanster Supernatural Academy.

Qiu Yaoyue didn't recognize the boy, but the same blue hair color, the same shining and soft golden eyes, the golden epiphyllum flowing under the eyes, and the almost identical face...

"You are...Ni Lan, right? You are Ah Ci's descendant."

The boy nodded and did not deny his identity.

"It's Ni Lan... not... who gave you the name?" Qiu Yaoyue's eyes were full of love, but before Ni Lan could answer, she changed the subject and said, "Forget it, it's not important. You should be the one without a name in this generation. Why are you here?"

"Because I'm here to stop the alien reaction from breaking out."

Ni Lan gave the same answer that she had previously told Bo Mo and Es.

Qiu Yaoyue did not express any doubt or question about this, she just looked quietly into the boy's eyes, as if recalling the past.

Ni Lan was not in a hurry and let the elderly lady slowly sort out her thoughts.

"You and Ah Ci have the most similar eyebrows and eyes."

"I have never seen her."

"It doesn't matter. It's just an old woman's nostalgia for good memories."

Qiu Yaoyue smiled self-deprecatingly and then stated her request.

"Can I ask you some questions?"

Ni Lan no longer needed to hide anything when facing Qiu Yaoyue, because after tonight, no one would know what exactly happened here.

"You ask."

Qiu Yaoyue asked Ni Lan the simplest questions, just like a real elder caring about him.

Only when asked about age, Qiu Yaoyue remained silent.

"You are fifteen? But you have not been given a name?"

"no."

"......"

Fifteen years old was another form of disaster for the unnamed boy in the Ni family.

Qiu Yaoyue felt the same way and showed a sad expression. She already knew what happened.

"No wonder... No wonder you said you were here to stop the alien reaction from breaking out."

She sighed deeply. If she was still young, she would not be afraid of any threats and would protect Ni Lan in her arms. However, the young man in front of her had already been sentenced to death. No matter how much Qiu Yaoyue tried, it would be useless.

"Tell me what I should do."

"Just do what you want to do and don't let anyone influence you."

"...It turned out to be Qianche."

Qiu Yaoyue has made up her mind. That is a secret known only to the head of the Qiu family.

The Qiu family members who inherited the family supernatural powers can completely seal off the reaction of an alien world by sacrificing themselves.

The only thing on her mind was Qianzhe.

In the few seconds before the seal was completely shattered, she saw Qianzhe being injured by the Lightless One and hesitated.

In the end, Qiu Ye, who broke the seal, killed her before she sacrificed herself, causing the alien reaction under the Lanster School of Supernatural Powers to completely erupt.

This is the future three seconds later——because of Qiu Yaoyue’s momentary hesitation.

Ni Lan lowered his eyes. His arrival could not actually change Qiu Yaoyue's ending.

"Feel sorry."

Qiu Yaoyue smiled and reached out to rub the boy's head.

"You saved Lanster and everyone here. You should be happy."

Ni Lan did not explain, he thought he was the only one who knew the meaning of this apology.

But Qiu Yaoyue knew much more than him.

"You don't have much time left, am I right?"

Ni Lan's breathing stopped for a moment, and he suddenly looked up. Although there was no sign of redness in his eyes, crystal tears rolled down.

Qiu Yaoyue held the child in her arms with heartache.

"This alien reaction was caused by Qiu Ye sacrificing his wife fifty years ago, so it's not your fault, understand?"

Her end is today, at this moment, and in three seconds in the future.

Even if he died, it was the price he paid for the mistake he made fifty years ago.

"Your arrival has saved me from having to be so hard on myself, Ni Lan. We should all thank you."

Ni Lan blinked her eyes, and more tears fell, as if she was filled with more confusion than sadness.

"Your journey is lonely and long, but I know that everything you have done is worth it."

Qiu Yaoyue patted the boy's back again before letting him go.

"Okay, I have to go now."

"The Ni family is gone."

"Oh, this is a great thing."

Qiu Yaoyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"If this continues, I'll have good news to tell Ah Ci. She will definitely be happy."

She had too many regrets in her life to count.

The demise of the Ni family can be ranked among the top three good things.

"Is there anything else I need to relay? I can also give you time to write a letter."

After Qiu Yaoyue had laughed enough and Ni Lan had wiped off the meaningless drops of water from her own secretions, she asked.

Qiu Yaoyue felt moved for a moment, thinking that maybe she could leave something for Qian Che.

But it was only for a moment, and she had already said everything she wanted to say, but that would only cause trouble for Ni Lan in the past.

"This corsage is not a valuable item. If you have the chance, can you go to Ah Ci's grave to take a look for me?"

"But I don't know where her grave is."

"I'll sleep next to her, kid."

She was so tired that she wanted to fall into eternal sleep the next second.

Life is very long, so long that if she counted the flowers blooming and falling, they would seem endless.

But in the end, she must die with dignity.

She would never entrust the mistakes she made and the words she said to a god whose existence she didn't know.

Let future generations judge.

Ni Lan took the boutonniere, which was a night-blooming cereus inlaid with jewels, just as 'eternal' as the golden flower in front of him.

——

"Wait a minute! Teacher Qiu!!!"

Lakto understood what Qiu Yaoyue wanted to do, and his attempt to keep her was only subconscious.

In three seconds, Qiu Yaoyue dropped everything. Even Qian Che, who came with two students, could not hold her back.

Qiu Ye screamed and roared wildly.

"Old woman! How dare you! Let me out! Let me out!!! I don't want to go back to the other world!!!"

Qiu Yaoyue transformed into a golden butterfly and weaved a delicate sealing thread. It looked so soft, but it suppressed the boiling alien world and locked all the filth inside.

This is a contest between life and death, but the brilliance of life will eventually illuminate the world.

'Moon Moon!'

'...who?'

'Yueyue! It's me! Ah Ci!'

Qiu Yaoyue saw the girl sitting beside the fountain in the back garden of the gods and waved at her.

"Yueyue, come here! I learned a new song and I want to sing it for you!"

Qiu Yaoyue, who was also a young girl, wiped away her tears and ran away.

"Um!"
