In reality, at a museum in an unknown province or city.
Zhen Xin woke up, but didn't move.
She stared blankly at the mirror on the table, looking at herself in the mirror, feeling as if she were in a daze, as if she had forgotten something.
Not long after, a figure dressed in a black gauze dress appeared in the museum. Zhen Xin heard the sound, looked up, and was surprised to find that the figure was running towards her, lifting the hem of her dress.
Zhen Xin was a little dazed. She stood up:
"Mingyu, what's wrong... oh?"
Before she could finish speaking, the figure rushed over and hugged her, knocking her off balance and pinning her against the wall.
Sensing her best friend's nervousness and unease, Zhen Xin's gaze softened, but her brows furrowed even more. She gently stroked An Mingyu's long hair and asked softly:
"Mingyu, you..."
An Mingyu straightened up, gripped Zhen Xin's shoulders tightly, and said with a serious expression:
"Xin Xin, I can't lose you again!"
I can't bear to lose you again!
Zhen Xin's smile froze, and she instantly became serious, asking, "What happened?"
An Mingyu shook his head, his face turning blank.
"The moment the trial ended, I seemed to have a very strange dream. I don't remember the details, but I do remember that I couldn't find you in that dream, I couldn't find you anywhere."
I resisted and struggled, but to no avail. Fear consumed me, and then everything turned to darkness.
When I woke up, all I felt was a pounding heart. I was afraid it was some bad omen, so I ran over to check on you...
Zhen Xin blinked at her best friend, who seemed hesitant to speak, pursed her lips, and didn't point out that the other person was "lying."
Yes, An Mingyu lied, but not a deceptive lie; he deliberately omitted certain details.
Before coming to find Zhen Xin, she was so terrified of the dark future in her dream that she couldn't help but "break her vow" and make a prophecy about the future.
She once made this prediction, asking whether the world of "Destiny" would collapse.
At that time, the answer given by [Fate] was 17 full points, and the Meeting of Destiny had just begun. Cheng Shi told her that those were the full points that [Annihilation] had set for its attempt to destroy the world, and that everything was over.
But today's inexplicable dream reminded her of that prophecy, so she had it repeated, and this time, fate's answer was...
17 one-point numbers!
The world won't fall apart!
This should have been a good thing, something to be happy about, but the completely opposite guidance left An Mingyu somewhat at a loss.
The world is not black and white, and so is fate. It is not just about good luck and misfortune. So how can the same prophecy yield two completely opposite and such extreme answers?
An Mingyu was confused. She found herself increasingly unable to understand "fate." She desperately wanted to ask the only person who understood "fate" about the meaning of this prophecy, but that person had not yet returned...
So she came here first.
These two best friends were both perceptive and intelligent enough that when they noticed something strange about each other, they realized at the same time that something must have happened and they must have missed something that could affect the world.
Zhen Xin frowned and immediately read out a name:
"Cheng Shi".
No matter what major events have occurred in the world, this Weaver of Fate, who is being watched by the [Void], must know something. So instead of letting your imagination run wild, you might as well ask Cheng Shi.
An Mingyu was taken aback: "He's back?"
Zhen Xin nodded and told her best friend about what they had experienced during the special trial.
It was a trial that wasn't particularly exciting, but it was full of deception. With the help of the players, the story of the trial finally came to an end.
This ending may not satisfy everyone, but at least everyone has done right by their final performance.
After listening, An Mingyu felt that the story of the trial had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't grasp the key point for a moment, so he stopped thinking about it and nodded, saying:
"Now that he's back, we'll probably meet our destined one again. I wonder how he fared in the real universe, and how he is doing?"
Zhen Xin smiled and said:
"He's in good shape, but I think he's probably already there waiting for us before you meet up."
"Mingyu, do you want to come with me? It'll save time."
An Mingyu paused, then shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not a clown, and I don't understand [deception]. You should go quickly and ask him what he saw in the real universe. If [nothingness] really is our enemy, is there still any hope for this world...?"
Zhen Xin glanced at An Mingyu's hand and noticed that she was holding several dice in her palm. She quickly looked away without saying anything, but smiled and said:
"Wait for me to come back."
As she spoke, Zhen Xin tossed out a playing card covered in ceremonial symbols, opened a door beside her leading to the clowns' gathering place, waved to her best friend, and stepped inside.
Seeing Zhen Xin leave, An Mingyu opened his palm, looking at the few 1s on his hand, his mind racing.
...
A gathering place for clowns.
Just as Zhen Xin had expected, when she returned to the cemetery, Cheng Shi was already there.
The Weaver of Fate stood quietly before the tombstone of "Death," head bowed, face shrouded in shadow, muttering something unintelligible.
When Cheng Shi discovered that the fake curtain call was just a trial, he thought of Mi Lao Zhang and his other self from another world. He wanted to know if the exchange between the two was real.
He rushed to the cemetery immediately, but could not find Lao Zhang there. There was no response when he tried to contact him. At that moment, he realized that Lao Zhang had really left this world.
