Chapter 134 -133: Waking Up from a Dream
The scenes in the memory seemed to be taking place in the Misty Zone, yet the terrain looked very familiar.
“Isn’t this the place where we robbed the train?” Ailuodi, with her sharp eyes, immediately recognized it, “Look… There is a depression near the tracks, and about a few hundred meters ahead should be where the train overturned.” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“They were taking in the released slave workers…” Chaoyang checked and recalled, “Luowei Siya also said that they had planned to launch an attack as the train entered the mine, but we got ahead of them.”
These memories must have come from that day.
But some content had been erased.
Speaking of which, every time he saw people from the Miners’ Brotherhood, he wanted to ask a question, but when he was about to ask, he found it difficult to remember what it was exactly. This feeling that something had been forgotten would surface in his mind from time to time… but each time he would think it was not very important and chose to ignore it.
Seeing the blank on Luowei Siya’s memory block, he suddenly realized that the problem wasn’t with him!
But what exactly had he forgotten?
He couldn’t even go to ask the Angel this question.
Because he didn’t even know where to begin.
“Strange… Why do I feel like my memory of the night we robbed the train isn’t complete?” Ailuodi murmured at that moment, “We got on the train, then we saved a big group of slaves sold to the company, and then… we drove back to the riverside?”
“You have that feeling too?!”
Just as Chaoyang was about to ask more, the vines that had lunged at them underwent another mutation! The tips of the spikes split again, forming forked appendages like fingers, at first glance they looked like underdeveloped arms!
He immediately felt an increased pressure, and being dragged by these arms, he felt his body sway and his movements were no longer as agile as before.
“We need to go!” Ailuodi shouted from behind, “Gale’s rotation speed has slowed down!”
“Don’t rush me, I know!” Chaoyang gritted his teeth, carried the Angel on his back, and used all his strength to surge upwards. Leaving the memory block at the end, he saw a blurry figure appear within Luowei Siya’s field of vision.
It was a person!
Right, they had encountered a person in the carriage!
In an instant, the forgotten memory connected, and he finally remembered the question he wanted to ask!
The two of them rushed towards the shattered skies, countless vine arms composed of hands chasing after them, and even after leaving the memory maze, they showed no sign of giving up!
At that moment, the sound of crisp shattering came from above their heads.
Black cracks were rapidly widening, and the whole world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
“How do we break free!?” Ailuodi clung tightly to his shoulder.
“Simple, fly until we can’t fly anymore!” Chaoyang yelled.
As his last word escaped, the sky exploded with a thunderous noise, turning into countless pieces that reflected both of them.
“Ah…” Ailuodi blinked and found herself back in the sanctuary room. Not only that, although they had just been holding hands before, now she was hanging on Chaoyang’s back.
She hurriedly jumped down and, pretending as if nothing had happened, dusted off her hands, “What was that, we’re back just like that.”
“…” Chaoyang didn’t respond.
“What’s with you, I don’t know how we ended up so close together, could the Dream Entering Technique also have a reactionary effect on reality?”
The other party still didn’t utter a word.
Ailuodi had an opinion, “Hey, speak up, will you—”
“Shush.” Chaoyang made a silencing gesture, “Look.”
The Angel hesitated, then tiptoed over to the other’s side.
What they saw was a body that had been standing upright like a doll, now with a faint rise and fall in its chest.
…
“You can come in now.” Chaoyang pushed open the door and nodded to Haiqi, who had been standing in the hallway all along, “Luowei Siya is alright now.”
The latter hesitated for a moment and then like a gust of wind, charged into the room!
The bed was empty, and Luowei Siya stood healthily at the side, her rosy cheeks proving that the disease no longer lingered in her. Although her eyes still held a bit of confusion and emptiness, those clear and bright pupils were undoubtedly evidence of her health.
The moment she saw Haiqi, she immediately broke into a joyful smile.
It was this familiar smile that made Haiqi forget about the other two people in the room and quickly stepped forward to embrace her tightly.
“Thank goodness… I’m so glad you’re alright! I failed to protect you, sister, and I couldn’t bear to lose you again…”
Luowei Siya also smiled and hugged her back, gently patting her on the back as usual.
“I know… That’s why when I had the chance to survive, I didn’t give up easily.”
This scene was undoubtedly precious for the people of the Miners’ Brotherhood, and Chaoyang did not interrupt, instead silently allowing them to enjoy this cherished moment of warmth.
After roughly three minutes, Haiqi slowly loosened her grip and cautiously felt around Luowei Siya’s abdomen and waist, “Does the site of the infection still hurt?”
“No… I’m completely free from the infection now.” Luowei Siya lifted her clothes halfway, revealing her smooth waist—the place that had been the worsening site of the infection now did not bear even a trace of a wound.
Haiqi could hardly believe her eyes.
She turned her head, staring blankly at Chaoyang, “Is this also the power of the Paradise Master?”
“Of course.” Chaoyang smiled, “Didn’t I make it clear in the contract? Whatever evil force had possessed her, it would be eradicated completely.”
“Then can you save the other Brotherhood members who have been infected?” Haiqi asked excitedly, “Their symptoms are less severe than Luowei Siya’s, but they will worsen over time.”
“In theory, it’s possible, but I’ve also mentioned that it comes with a significant cost—including for both the infected and the wisher.” Chaoyang spoke truthfully, “Not everyone has considerable wishing power like you to support such complex magic. But don’t despair, the Scarlet Curse was once incurable too, and now the temples can cure such patients with the development of medicines and better understanding of the disease.”
“You mean… this infection can be cured by other means?”
“As long as people keep thinking, there will always be more solutions than problems, which is the way I encourage all beings to follow.”
“I understand,” Haiqi decided at once, “I’ll send some of the mildly infected to the temple, and I’m willing to cooperate with whatever the Brotherhood needs to do.”
Chaoyang nodded, “That’s just the first step. Moreover, all medical explorations are built upon a stable social environment, so Magnificent Castle cannot be used as a weapon against the company. If you trust in Paradise, you’ll find that in situations that seem hopeless, there are actually many options.”
“I’m not an unreasonable person… Seeing Luowei Siya standing here, I’d have to believe even if I didn’t want to,” Haiqi revealed a wry smile, “I will contact Mr. Jin Kefu and have him suspend the blasting project for now.”
That’s right. Chaoyang thought contentedly, “Additionally, regarding Luowei Siya’s condition, I have some precautions to inform you both about.”
“This body isn’t actually mine… right?” Luowei Siya said with a smile, touching her chest.
Haiqi couldn’t help but be startled, “What do you mean?”
“It seems you’ve already noticed,” Chaoyang didn’t intend to hide it from the two—except for slightly altering some details, “To be precise, this is a body specially crafted for you by the Paradise Master.”
