Chapter 645 Alicia didn’t show up for a long time, so she came out
Father…her biological father, Raiden Ryoma, died.
Mei Yi’s face was expressionless and motionless. She only blinked her eyelids twice, as if she didn’t understand what Mikael said at all.
When she came back to her senses, there were only lights wandering aimlessly in the hall in front of her.
Father… is dead.
Isn’t this something she already knew?
Father… was killed by Mikael.
She really didn’t know this, but she didn’t seem to be much surprised when the answer was revealed. Even because this was a possibility that had been anticipated for a long time, even anger could not well up for a while.
Mikael said that people always prefer to indulge in dreams rather than wake up.
Even if it is clear that there is a reality that must be faced, even if it is clear that if you continue to indulge in dreams, you will only be drowned together with the desired beauty, you are still willing to do so.
The first time she learned about her father’s death was from Mikael’s mouth, but she never doubted Mikael at that time.
During those two years at St. Freya, every day on that day, Mikael would take Mei to the back garden of St. Freya to burn paper money.
Burn it to the millions of people who died in the collapse of Changkong City, burn it to Thunder Ryoma, and burn it to Mebius. But in the end, when Theresa followed the black smoke and caught her, the one that was given to Mebius was burned. One portion has not been burned yet.
At that time, Mei Yi was kept in the dark and never doubted Mikael for even a moment.
But what happens after that?
More than a year has passed since the battle at Tianming Headquarters.
Although there have been too many major events that could change the world in this year, for Mei herself, she tried to rescue Kiana at the beginning, then entered the paradise of the past to explore, and then became the world snake. The Lord… seems to be quite busy, but he is by no means unable to spare even a few minutes of thinking time.
And as long as she is willing to spend a few minutes, even a few seconds, to think.
According to Mikael’s self-statement, when the collapse of Sokora City occurred, he sent Mebius to save her, and he himself was planning to save Raiden Ryoma, which meant that there was a possibility that the two would meet. Considering what Mikael has done in the past year… In fact, Mei Yi has already subconsciously blamed Mikael for her father’s death.
However, with some futile hope, she has been burying this idea in her subconscious mind, unwilling to admit it, let alone let it emerge at all.
She wanted to hear Mikael admit it himself, or never admit it.
As long as it is not confirmed, he can forever be indulged in the dream that “Mikael really went to save his father that day, but he just didn’t have time”.
However, why do humans know that dreams are so beautiful, but so few people actually indulge in them?
Because no matter what a person’s subjective wishes are, [dream] will always wake up.
Now is the time to wake up from the dream.
Meiyi closed her sour eyes tightly and sunk her back completely into the sofa.
I didn’t feel any particular anger, nor did I feel any particular sadness.
There is only one signal transmitted from the body to the brain——
So tired.
very tired.
“Are you tired? If you are…just take a good rest first!”
I vaguely heard this sound…
It was probably an auditory hallucination. I always felt that if it was Alicia, she would definitely say this.
Then she felt a pair of cold hands gently pressing her temples, pressing them gently, and then using undeniable force to bring her head and entire upper body down.
When Mei came back to her senses and opened her eyes, she realized that she was resting on Alicia’s lap in an extremely shameful position – that position was like holding her whole head in front of her belly.
And… something familiar.
Mei Yi has always had a good memory, and after becoming a complete Herrscher, this advantage became even more prominent.
In my memory, the night after the Third Collapse of the former civilization broke out, Mikael, who overused his powers and fell into a brief coma, woke up with his pillow on Alicia’s lap in this posture.
Why… why… why can I find the corresponding memory so quickly.
Has this story from 50,000 years ago taken root in her mind?
She witnessed…
she……
she……
She%¥#@¥ # ¥%%……¥ # ……
“Alicia…”
Meiyi’s vigilance slowly disappeared and she wrapped her arms around Alicia’s waist. However, this was not out of her intention. It was just at that moment that she felt countless nerves in her entire brain twining around her. Together, they form a knot.
Whether it was because Mikael suddenly revealed the truth about her father’s death, or whether the pressure she had endured for a year finally broke out at this moment, Mei didn’t know what she should do, but one thought after another kept popping up in her heart——
The primitive desire to cut something with a knife and try to destroy something. I wanted to shout loudly, but it was neither out of sadness nor anger, just to vent my emotions that I couldn’t explain clearly. In fact, there was an uninterrupted itching sensation in her soul, just like the feeling when she stretched. All the flesh and blood was scratched and scratched off.
Wave after wave of heat rushed from the spinal cord to the brain, and the body from the trunk to the limbs seemed to be full of power. His arms and fingertips were trembling, his lips were constantly trembling, and the crazy idea of tearing the sofa under him and the people in front of him into pieces came into his mind…
But in the end, feeling the softness and warmth around her, she just hugged Alicia tightly.
The itching feeling from the soul was not relieved, but something warm pried the eyelids, came out from the corner of the eye, and wet Alicia’s clothes.
“Okay… okay… okay… it’s okay…”
One hand gently stroked the girl’s shoulder, and the other hand gently massaged the girl’s back of the head, pressing and pressing. His hand wanted to touch the long horns a little restlessly, but after thinking about it, Forced myself to become serious again.
“Although I don’t know what Mei Yi has encountered, whether you are tired, sad, or restless, at least for this moment, at least for now, have a good rest. Although you must always move forward, if you really You shouldn’t force yourself when you’re tired.”
That strange feeling slowly disappeared in Alicia’s soft voice.
After a while, Alicia didn’t get a response from Mei, but she could feel her breathing steady and deep, obviously falling asleep.
“Mei? Mei?? Mei Mei? Mei Mei?”
“call–“
“Well, it looks like he really fell asleep.”
Alicia put two fingers under Mei’s nose, and a slight snoring sound immediately sounded. When she took her fingers away, the snoring disappeared again.
So, she boldly reached out her hand and touched Mei Yi’s corners.
“Huh? If you just touch Mei Yi’s corner without saying hello, she won’t be angry when she wakes up, right?”
His hands suddenly became honest and he retracted them, but after a naughty chuckle, his palms covered them again——
“Hey, Mei Yi doesn’t know anyway.”
…………
“Well……”
When Mei woke up, the light in the hall was still so bright. For more than 18 million days and nights, it would always maintain this light without changing at all.
I just don’t know how long this light can last.
Do you have any dreams? There seemed to be no memory at all, it was the deepest sleep I had not had in a long time.
Mei sat up in a daze, and then realized that the moment before falling asleep, she seemed to be resting on Alicia’s lap.
She looked back a little embarrassed, but a glass of water was already handed to her:
“You’ve slept for two hours. You may be a little thirsty. Come and moisten your mouth.”
“I…actually slept for two hours?”
Mei patted her head gently, and her brains swayed in her skull with this movement. She wanted to stand up, but she felt top-heavy and dizzy.
“Actually, two hours! Alas, as soon as I heard this, I knew that Mei Yi, you haven’t rested for a long time.”
After waking up, Mei sat farther away from Ai Li, but still took the glass of water and rinsed her mouth.
After hesitating for a moment, Mei didn’t tell Ally about Mikael, but even if she deliberately didn’t mention it, her face was still gloomy.
“Sorry…I just…”
“Oh, no need to explain. Even if the purpose is completely different, everyone will inevitably encounter such a situation. You don’t need to explain to me – do you think I am the kind of person who asks annoying questions no matter what? A girl after all?”
“Well……”
Meiyi felt a little ashamed, after all, she had played such a role in Paradise for a long time.
“But… Meiyi, you have really worked hard during this time – I heard from more than one Yingjie that you have been asking everyone for the so-called [ultimate final] story, right?”
“Uh…well. I have seen the end, including Mikael becoming the End, and the battle between the heroes on the back of the moon. But…there is a story missing in the middle, and because of its absence, the whole story is ruined. The story has become confusing.”
Meiyi stared at Alicia quietly with bloodshot eyes.
“Alicia, it seems that all the mysteries are related to you. What is your Herrscher power? What happened after your wedding to Mikael? That night, the two of you disappeared together, but after that there was only Mikael returned to reality. After that, he seemed to be a different person…Including what he is doing now seems to be related to the story that happened between you during that time…I asked you twice before, But you refused and said you didn’t know, so I had to ask other Ying Jie.
“But even Mebius gave me the same answer of [I don’t know]. According to her, that is a secret that belongs only to Mikael and you. She doesn’t know, and she doesn’t want to know. As for other people , it’s even less clear.”
“Have you never thought of asking Mikael directly?”
Ellie blinked cheerfully.
“Well……”
Before the words came out of her mouth, Mei Yi shivered first.
“Ah, I forgot, finding him now would be quite laborious, right?”
Meiyi didn’t answer, just covered her face silently.
Actually…it seems like I really had a chance.
It was that night among the ruins of the Tower of Babel. Like a daughter, she sat with her father on a floating stone platform, watching the starry sky fade away little by little… If she had asked at that time, maybe Mikael would have responded. Bar.
There was no time to regret, and there was no intention to regret.
Just thinking that she has regarded Mikael as her father these past few years, even if he committed those crimes, she has been hypnotizing herself in her heart, allowing herself to selectively ignore some bad things…
But now… No, that manic feeling is coming back…
The five fingers of Meiyi’s hand that was covering her forehead were arched into claws, and then retracted bit by bit. The nails soon left long bloody traces on her forehead unconsciously.
“oops!”
Ai Li covered her chest with one hand and screamed, but her other hand clamped Mei Yi’s wrist as quickly as possible and moved her hand away.
Bingbing’s cold fingers gently pressed on the wound. Although he did not have the power of the Sixth Herrscher, to deal with this kind of skin injury, just condensing an appropriate amount of Honkai energy to promote cell division was enough to cause the cell to divide in just a few minutes. Let the wound heal within.
Ai Li’s cold fingertips slid up and down Mei Yi’s forehead. The latter blushed and said something, probably a word of thanks, but she couldn’t be heard clearly because she was too shy.
“Mei Yi, do you really…want to know that hidden story that much?”
“Of course I do!”
Upon hearing such a question, Mei Yi immediately raised her head energetically.
“Then…why?”
“ah?”
“Not all a person’s actions are for a certain purpose. Sometimes the body just responds instinctively, and sometimes it is just muddle through without thinking. But Meiyi, actions like yours that desperately want something , there must be a reason behind it, right?”
“…”
Meiyi’s lips moved several times, and she found it difficult to piece together the words into sentences in a short time.
“Do you still remember why you came to the Paradise of the Past for the first time?”
Alicia smiled. It was obviously a very gentle smile, but it made Mei Yi feel a trace of fear in her heart that she did not dare to face. It was as if the arc-shaped smiling eyes could see through all the good and bad in a person’s heart. There is no harm in coming out, or it is an idea that should never be told to others.
“If I remember correctly, when you first came here, Mei, just like the leaders of World Snake, you wanted to become stronger, right?”
“Um……”
Mei Yi nodded numbly. Make yourself stronger. Only in this way can you protect Kiana in the subsequent battle. Whether it sounds good or not, this is her original thought.
“But, have your thoughts changed during this period of time? It must have changed, right? To be honest, now you have obtained almost all the imprints of the Yingjie, and the degree of development of the stigmata is almost complete. The reality is not In the game, after all the progress is completed, you will not get any achievements, let alone any rewards. Instead, you will invest a lot of time here, and you will get only a meager improvement, which is not cost-effective. I am willing to come here, explore the road that has been explored countless times over and over again, and take the trouble to ask the same questions to every Yingjie, even if I know that I will encounter a cold look… Meiyi, can you tell me – what is it? For what reason do you want to know that story that none of the heroes know?”
“I–“
Mei Yi just said this word, but was interrupted by Alicia.
She seems to be very different today. At least, this is the first time she has seen such a hot and aggressive look and posture on the other party——
“Is it to analyze the information that may be helpful in defeating Mikael?”
Alicia smiled and narrowed her eyes again.
Meiyi’s lips parted by an insignificant distance, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her expression became a little hollow.
In an instant, she shook her head vigorously.
“No, it’s not…”
As if to prove something, she raised her hand and covered her heart hard.
It is true that what Alicia said at the beginning was her second purpose of entering the Paradise besides becoming stronger.
But that is no longer the case.
“I just… want to see the end of your story. Not just the end of your era, but the end of your and Mikael’s story…”
“Even if you know that the ending cannot be a happy and happy ending, but a complete tragedy, do you still want to know?”
Ai Li smiled and interrupted Mei Yi again.
“Well, I want to know.”
In response, Mei Yi nodded firmly.
“Although there is no clear evidence, I always feel that your stories can give me a different kind of power. If there is no way to see the final ending… I think I may never let go…”
“Doesn’t tragedy matter?”
Alicia still smiled and repeated the question.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Meiyi shook her head heavily.
“Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope – isn’t this what you once said? Your story cannot be changed, but precisely because it must end in tragedy, I particularly like this story and the characters in this story. Your efforts in despair have also given me more strength and determination to inherit the hope from the previous era, so that the story of this era will no longer end in tragedy. I think. …Maybe that’s why he asked me to come here.”
Alicia closed her eyes, and her smile overflowed like a river in the rainy season.
But soon, she opened her eyes and said something that completely ended the sensational atmosphere:
“But, I really don’t know.”
“ha?”
“There’s nothing we can do!”
Ellie tilted her head and spread her hands.
“The only time I synchronized my memories in reality was before my wedding to Mikael. I should have told you this.”
“Well… I always thought that someone like you should be able to hide something.”
Mei Yi was naturally disappointed, but at this moment, Ai Li playfully poked the corners of her head——
“But, everything that happens will leave traces. And Mei, you think you have visited the entire paradise of the past, but in fact, you have never been to the real paradise. I will take you there, There, you may be able to find the answer.”
“The real… promised land?”
“Yes, the Paradise of the Past, the Paradise of the Past, such a sad name is so incompatible with Alicia. The name of the real Paradise is actually——
“Eternal Paradise.”
