In this unprecedentedly long period of confinement, after enduring countless years of suffering... in his dying moments, this man still believed in the long-awaited [hope].
"...Has he gone mad? What gives her this confidence?"
"Or... was he never an ordinary person to begin with? Was he influenced by [Divine Sound], or perhaps even subjected to [Discipline]?"
? ”
Shi Bao was a little confused, but she wasn't the type to dwell on things.
Having shaken off his doubts, Shi Bao went to explore other places.
After running around, she discovered all the "living things" she had encountered...
There is no difference at all!
"They've gone mad...they've all gone mad..."
"Could it be that if humans go mad for tens of thousands of years, they will become like this?"
Shi Bao scratched his head.
Very cute.
Suddenly, Shi Bao's rebellious nature resurfaced.
She was very curious about what it was that had caused this group of people's beliefs to turn out this way.
This element of "unreasonableness" in humans aroused Shi Bao's strong competitive spirit.
Just then, Shi Bao finally noticed... someone she hadn't noticed before.
And the intense hope that shone through those who were frozen in place, even in their dying moments, came from this person!
"Strange... It's nearby? And... it's definitely a human?"
In Shi Bao's opinion, these people who were immobilized were truly pitiful.
"Since they're also trapped here, what's the use of 'trust'? Aren't they just like you..."
She crossed her arms, looked at the person inside the mecha who had been dead for countless years, and shook her head with a sigh:
"This is a classic case of 'managing silkworms while trying to catch mice—trusting the wrong person!'"
"Since you're already here, I wouldn't mind taking pity on you and performing a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife."
"But before that, I'd like to go and see who this person, who is being so superstitious, really is."
After saying that, Shi Bao used his senses to search for the person who was worshipped by countless people.
Soon, she found a woman on a high ground.
Before they even got close, Shi Bao felt a deep sense of disappointment.
This woman is just too ordinary...
How could she possibly gain such unwavering trust from those people?
As Shi Bao approached and sensed the emotions contained within this person's mind, a surge of anger welled up within him.
The reason is simple... the emotions that flowed continuously from this woman were the exact opposite of those of her believers.
That was an overwhelming and inescapable despair.
Shi Bao couldn't understand and felt angry.
A person trusted by others, someone whose mere existence can give others hope even in their final moments...
Such a person, in the same situation, secretly fell into despair and could not extricate himself, ultimately showing an attitude of "giving up".
Judging from Shi Bao's personality, this is undoubtedly an extremely ugly and unforgivable betrayal.
"Fine, then let me, let them see your ugly side!"
"Since you have betrayed their trust—"
Reflecting on the powers he could still wield despite his blindness, Shi Bao was certain that he possessed the ability to influence what seemed like "contact."
However, just as she approached the other's body with a feeling of "fighting for justice," there was one crucial thing she shouldn't have overlooked that she still couldn't recall.
Although the sample size is not yet sufficient, it seems that the absolute trust in this woman was a common phenomenon in the Moths of Flame group back then.
Until... the woman turned around.
Shi Bao finally remembered.
The players stared wide-eyed.
Isn't that... Dr. Mei?!
She actually exists in this world!
And this is on the moon! Doesn't that mean...?
Is this the shadow cast during the final battle 50,000 years ago?
……
Just as players were speculating, the screen went dark in the game.
The narration of the Lawgiver begins.
"Oh dear," the great Herrscher of Knowledge thought to herself—"forget it, no need to lower myself to the level of these old fogies."
"As she spoke, the great woman lightly snapped her fingers—though it was merely a mental signal, it immediately had a remarkably noticeable effect."
"With this casual gesture, the unknown force that had shrouded the entire world in the past, causing it to stagnate, quietly faded away, as if it feared her."
"After that, the air, the gears, and all the elements that had been dormant began to flow again."
At that moment, the game screen switched again.
Kiana suddenly appeared and interrupted Shi Bao: "But... this is not right at all, is it?"
Interrupted, Shi Bao seemed a little displeased: "Shut up (Qian Qian Zhao), let me finish."
"I was just about to pack up and leave when I bumped into you guys."
"You guys are so flustered because of a few cricket monsters that you can't even find the door? That's hilarious! How can I not give you a hand and show you the difference in skill?"
Upon seeing this, the players immediately understood.
Everything Shi Bao experienced... was actually Shi Bao telling Kiana about her experiences...
Judging from Shi Bao's personality, what she said was definitely an attempt to elevate her own image to an extreme degree.
While there wouldn't be much difference, she knew that the Herrscher of the Void would definitely appear as an absolute hero in this "story"...
That's definitely just self-praise.
The players found it very interesting.
This is definitely a treasure detector... It's so cute.
"Dr. Mei, I'm afraid her claims aren't all true."
Dr. Mei smiled gently: "In any case, it was your arrival that allowed this long-sealed world, Bubble Boy [in the moment before its demise], to have a brief resurgence."
"As long as the result is the same, the process is not important."
Seeing that Dr. Mei hadn't exposed her, Shi Bao immediately puffed out her little chest with confidence, as if to say: "Quickly praise the great Herrscher of Knowledge!"
.......
Chapter 524 Dr. Mei
Seeing that Dr. Mei did not raise any personal objections to Shizhilubao's statement, it became somewhat difficult to "discern" the truth.
However, when Kiana and the others entered this world bubble... the first person they saw was Dr. Shi Bao Mei, whom they felt they had known for a long time.
Moreover, given Shi Bao's arrogant and unyielding nature, he now completely submits to Dr. Mei's advice!
This truly surprised Kiana and the others.
But the players understood.
This is most likely the result of Fu Hua's subconscious being at work.
"Hey... let's stop talking about those trivial details. You probably have more important questions to ask, right?"
After Shi Bao said that, Mei and the others stopped worrying about the issue.
Now, Mei and the others are basically certain that the subtle "guidance" they experienced earlier came from Dr. Mei right in front of them.
The "hint" that Kiana and the others sensed came from the Treasure Seeker.
It was they who guided Mei and Kiana step by step to reunite and finally arrive in this world bubble.
"Correct analysis~" Dr. Mei nodded gently, confirming the correctness of Mei's prediction:
"We already knew that the so-called world we inhabited was merely a bubble that could burst at any moment."
"In order to escape our predetermined fate—as you can see, in addition to resisting the effects of Honkai, we have also incorporated a small section of the uncertain zone of the Quantum Sea into the World Bubble itself."
……
Afterwards, Dr. Mei explained the current state of the world bubble to Mei and the others.
