Chapter 84 Extra - Epilogue
-Talk later-
After watching Zhou Tianying fall into the black hole, Zhou Tianqi seemed to go crazy.
He made hand gestures that he shouldn't have known and pounded the ground of the ancestral hall. Anyone who tried to stop him was blocked outside by the flames. He didn't stop until the entire ancestral hall collapsed and a deep hole was smashed into the ground by him, leaving his hands completely unharmed.
He half-knelt in the deep pit, staring at the ground.
That black hole won't open.
——It will not be opened again until the next sacrifice is needed for "Dual Dwelling".
Then Zhou Tianqi left home with the "Double Living" copper bell. Whenever sacrifices were needed, the copper bell would ring. It was usually hung high on the top of the ancestral hall, hidden in the darkness. No one knew of its existence except the ancestor who sat here.
But Zhou Tianqi knew that he could get it easily.
He put the bell on his waist and placed it together with the bronze mirror.
He turned and walked out of the ancestral hall resolutely, without saying a word to anyone present.
…
The Zhou family's ancestral hall had been overhauled, or rebuilt, and not many people knew what happened in the Zhou family that day - after all, the "dual-living" thing couldn't be exposed too much.
But everyone knows that Zhou Tianying died due to some "abnormality", so Zhou Tianqi went crazy.
Compared to this, the fact that Zhou Tianying is a boy is not so surprising.
The entire administration knew how much Zhou Tianqi cared about his sister...or brother.
“How pitiful…”
“How miserable…”
"It seems like every generation of the Zhou family dies a genius. Is this a curse?"
"...Didn't they say the second brother was very powerful? Now it seems that he is just using his brother's power to his advantage."
…
They said this as if they had participated in it, as if they had witnessed the fall of a genius. From then on, they had something to talk about and could also demonstrate their "kindness" and "objectivity."
The Zhou family members didn't say a word.
They have to endure, carrying the burden of "double living", and they can't say anything.
Then Zhou Tianqi disappeared like a ghost and killed everyone who said something bad about Zhou Tianying.
Cut off their hands and feet, cut out their tongues, and gouge out their eyes.
Make them real waste, and then let them die in pain.
He did to real humans what he had done to the "abnormal".
Everyone knew he was crazy.
Everyone started to be afraid of him.
Until no one talked about it anymore and everyone kept silent.
And then no one saw him again.
Until five years later, the Zhou family's ancestral home.
A hooded man walked into the ancestral home and was stopped by a member of the Zhou family at the door.
He raised his head, his white hair tied into a bun, he was wearing a grassland robe, his eyes were dull and cloudy, and he had a bronze mirror on his waist.
"Who are you--" the young Zhou family member asked him.
He looked at him, said nothing, and walked in. The young man tried to stop him, but he was knocked away by a hand gesture.
Then he walked straight in amid the panic of others.
Zhou Chengan heard the voice and came out, and saw him at a glance.
"Tian...Tianqi?!"
He glanced at his second uncle and finally stopped.
"Where is his...ancestor?" His voice was a little hoarse, and he had a cold and dusty air about him.
Zhou Cheng'an went to call for help without much hesitation.
"Everyone disperse." He ordered the others, "Tianqi, follow me."
His voice was cautious. After all, Zhou Tianqi was not a positive figure in the entire Administration. Under pressure, the Administration had even removed him from the list.
It only took a few cups of tea for everyone to gather.
The old ancestor sat opposite Zhou Tianqi and sighed. He looked older than he was five years ago. Everyone in the Zhou family looked a little haggard.
In the past week, the number of "anomalies" has skyrocketed, and what is even more incredible is that all the "anomalies" in the "Black Book" have disappeared, including the "Dual Dwelling" on the first page.
This puzzling change left everyone a little confused.
Until Zhou Tianqi appeared.
It seems like everything has an explanation.
Zhou Tianqi took out a cloth bag from the bronze mirror and poured out the contents.
There was a crackling sound, and the broken copper bell hit the table.
"'Dual Ambition' has been eliminated."
He took out a copy of the "Black Book", which now only had a thin front and back cover.
"A week ago, this bronze bell suddenly shattered, and then 'Shuangqi' and '□□□□' disappeared," he looked at the old ancestor in front of him, "Then I found all the anomalies that followed and erased them."
Everyone: "What—?"
Zhou Tianqi's words surprised everyone. They thought there was something wrong with the "Black Book", but they didn't expect that other anomalies disappeared because of this.
How strong is Zhou Tianqi now?
Zhou Tianqi spread out his hands, and a ball of blue and red flame appeared in his left hand and right hand respectively.
"Grandfather, my current fate—"
"Is it no longer a yang destiny, but a yin-yang destiny?"
The old ancestor frowned and put his hand on his brow.
"……yes."
His brow furrowed even more.
How can a person's fate change?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Tianqi laughed when he heard his words.
"Okay, okay, as expected..." He stood up, "Grandfather, and uncles and grandfathers."
"'Dual Living'... was erased by A-Ying. From now on, there will be no more 'Dual Living'. There will be even more 'abnormalities', just like a thousand years ago..."
He looked at everyone, "Humanity is truly going to coexist with the 'abnormal'."
Then he stepped on his sword and left.
"Sure enough, Aying didn't lie to me." He looked at the two colored flames in his hand.
"Aying's fate has returned to me. Aying... left." The "abnormality" transformed from the fallen angel also left with it.
"Is there a world outside this world?"
"I'll find you."
The key hanging around his neck gleamed faintly.
——————————
Five minutes after learning Zhou Tianying's gender, Bai Zhi was overwhelmed by the news of his death.
The master said that he would take her to witness the secret that the branch had been keeping for a long time, because Liu Ke's body could not bear it anymore. As the "recorder" of the branch, he was not particularly good at fighting. The previous "Upside-down View" had seriously injured him, and he did not have much time to gamble, so he wanted Bai Zhi to inherit his mantle as soon as possible.
Baizhi must remember everything the "recorder" records.
Those are the memories of those who fought against the "abnormality".
It is a secret history that cannot be written on paper.
So Baizhi followed him to Zhou's house.
Learned about the existence and birth of "Dual Ambient".
At the same time, he also learned about the blood and tears that the Zhou family paid to protect the balance of the world and... why Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Tianying suddenly disappeared.
No one in the Zhou family blamed them.
No one at the precinct blamed them.
Zhou Tianqi came back just when the uncles of the Zhou family were clamoring to jump in to buy time for everyone.
——Although later she found out that it was her sister Yingying.
Later, Zhou Tianying blocked Zhou Tianqi and sacrificed himself by jumping down.
She didn't even blink, remembering it all.
It wasn't until later that I realized I had been crying.
Her master said she was a genius, but she didn’t think so at all. If she had grown up with Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Tianying, how could she think she was a genius?
She had been chasing after them, but she could never catch up. She had envied them very much.
But that day, she seemed to feel that geniuses also have their own sufferings.
Zhou Tianying died and Zhou Tianqi went crazy.
At the youngest age.
It becomes the talk of others, the topic that others brag about, and then it disappears.
She once asked Zhou Tianying why she was so indulgent towards Zhou Tianqi?
"Of course it's because if I didn't love him, he would be really miserable."
She was ignorant at the time and thought that Zhou Tianying doted on her brother too much. How could no one love him?
So many people in the Administration admire him, and so many people regard him as their rival and idol.
"——But what they saw was his strength, not Zhou Tianqi as a person."
"My brother is sensitive and suspicious, and he likes to abuse 'abnormal' people. Most people call him a little pervert. If he weren't from the Administration, most people would be afraid of him, right?"
"But he's the best to me, so I can't call him a pervert, I can't say anything bad about him, and I can't be afraid of him."
She could hardly remember Zhou Tianying's expression now, she only remembered that he seemed to be smiling.
"I will treat Zhou Tianqi the same way he treats me."
"What if he makes a mistake one day?" Bai Zhi remembers asking this.
"As long as it doesn't destroy the world, I don't think it's a big mistake..."
Bai Zhi: ...
"You really dote on him, don't you?!"
Then, before Zhou Tianqi could make a mistake, Zhou Tianying died first. Then, the number of "anomalies" increased, and the management bureau expanded. It was said that Zhou Tianying blew up the "amphibious", so now the balance is broken and humans have to rely on themselves.
Some people think that it is a good thing that the time bomb of "Amphibious" is destroyed, while others think that Zhou Tianqi is deliberately trying to harm everyone.
Bai Zhi touched the rabbit keychain Zhou Tianying had given her during a mission. "...You two are both equally reckless, but if you think this world would be better, then I'll believe you."
Then he picked up the Mo Dao placed aside and chopped at the wide-open mouth behind him.
"With Yingying gone, I am now the number one female in the Administration."
With one slash of the sword, it was wiped out before its space was formed.
"...But it's a bit of a loss. That brat Zhou Tianying was a man dressed as a woman and he held the top spot for so long."
————————
Yi Yun felt that there were three people he would definitely think of before he died, one of whom was his master Jiang Wan.
The other two are twins from the Zhou family.
One was because they pinned him to the ground and hammered him.
One reason was because they had blown up a manure pit together.
The latter can simply be called a revolutionary friendship.
At that time, he had just started to practice "Word Spirit". He could not speak, but every word he said would come true. Words within his ability would reduce his mana bar, and words beyond his ability would reduce his health bar. If his mana bar was not enough, his health bar would also be reduced.
So for the sake of his own life, he tried really hard not to speak.
Until he watched Zhou Tianying blow up the public toilet - he used the strongest shield in his life.
It was so wonderful that he would never forget it in his life.
How could a girl act so wildly? Surely it must be Zhou Tianqi's twins?!
——So after learning that Zhou Tianying was a boy, he felt that it was just as he expected.
In their line of work, death is a very normal thing. All his family members have died, so he was a little sad about Zhou Tianying's death, but it didn't seem that sad.
He just often thought of their first mission.
Thinking of that park.
Then he would go for a walk.
So many years have passed, even the facilities inside have been changed, and the traces of the past are being erased bit by bit.
He has now mastered the control of the "Word Spirit" to perfection.
But it seems that no one will drag him to blow up public toilets anymore.
——————————
Later, ordinary people also learned about the existence of "abnormalities" and learned simple ways to fight against "abnormalities". Humans are far more resilient and more adaptable to the environment than they imagined.
There are also some "abnormalities" that will not harm people at all, and may even be of some help to humans.
——Laws, common sense, and life are slowly changing.
Abnormalities and humans coexist in a balanced relationship.
…
On a snowy mountain,
[Ding——Are you sure you want to use the "Special Key"?]
confirm.
[Okay, I'll locate your anchor point right away - next, I'll head to the SH world. Have a pleasant journey.]
