From Aslan's narration, Lei Mingkai learned everything.
Now, the life trajectory of the Aslan sitting opposite him is not like the Aslan Sara that Lei Mingkai is familiar with, who experiences his entire life according to the destiny trajectory in the original work.
But in a seemingly ordinary situation, but in fact, there is an opportunity that can change the trajectory of destiny, and I met a girl who did not exist.
Erica Pompeii.
A delicate and beautiful girl with outstanding mechanical talents.
From the moment he met her, Aslan was inadvertently captured by this highly motivated girl. No, perhaps inadvertently, Aslan's heart was quietly captured by Erica Pompeii.
Maybe.
In the subsequent interactions, Eric Pompeii, a proactive girl, made Aslansala, a well-educated noble man, feel a feeling he had never experienced before.
this,
Perhaps it was a new feeling that the fiancée who was loved by all the people in the plant had never given him.
No,
Aslansala and his fiancée, Lax Klein, also known as the Plant Treasure, are just fulfilling the contract called the marriage contract with each other in accordance with the wishes of their elders.
Even from the beginning, Aslan had a hint of joy when he learned that his fiancée would be Lux Klein. However, after meeting Eric Pompeii, the name should not exist, nor
After an unexpected person appeared in front of him, Aslan suddenly felt that the world seemed to become more vivid.
"Eric Pompeii? I have never heard of this name." Lei Mingkai frowned and finally gave up searching for any information about this name from his memory.
"Of course. Because Eric Pompeii is not from my home world at all. Instead, he is a challenger from the superdimensional fortress." Aslan shook his head and showed a wry smile.
"Challenger?" Lei Mingkai was stunned. "Is it another name for the inspector?"
"No. It's not. Although inspectors can freely travel between worlds and carry out various tasks, challengers are not as free as inspectors. Because their existence is only to allow the superdimensional fortress to escape from these
Select the most powerful warrior among the challengers to complete the mission against the abyss."
Under Aslan's explanation, Lei Mingkai finally understood something about the challenger. This person was unfamiliar to him, but it also had a familiar existence.
"If we go by what Aslan said, the existence of the challenger is undoubtedly the camp where the protagonists in the infinite flow novels we have read before belong to?"
With this thought, Lei Mingkai asked the next question. This question was not about the challenger, but about the inspector himself.
Although He Meimei has disclosed some of the functions of the inspector to Lei Mingkai, Lei Mingkai now knows about the existence of the challenger who overlaps with the inspector in some aspects.
"Athlan Inspector and Challenger belong to two different camps?"
"Yes. The inspector mainly faces the abyss and the singularity of time and space. In addition, the inspector's direct leadership is the "Qin" Legion, not the extra-dimensional fortress that leads the challengers."
"Really? So, will the inspector get in touch with the challengers? For example, a joint attack, etc.?"
"No. Under normal circumstances, the inspector does not get involved in the mission world where the challenger is. But if there is an abyss that pollutes the mission world, the administration may have to intervene in these mission worlds to eliminate the abyss reaction."
Aslan paused and composed his words.
"If the inspectors and challengers are divided into two camps, then the inspectors represent order, while the challengers represent disputes."
"Order and Discord?"
As his thoughts were gradually clarified, Lei Mingkai agreed with Aslan's division between inspectors and challengers.
Ever since Lei Mingkai came into contact with the existence of the S.P.F. Management Bureau, everything he felt came from the world of order under the control of the Management Bureau.
The challengers who are similar to the time-travelers in the Mugenliu novels in his distant memory can indeed describe the existence of their group in terms of strife.
"I understand. So, Aslan, it is because of the existence of Erica Pompeii and the others that your life trajectory has changed dramatically. Even her, Lux Klein's life trajectory has also changed.
?”
Lei Mingkai considered the words and carefully asked the question in his heart. In the meeting with old friends just now, neither Aslan nor Kira mentioned the name that affected the evolution of their relationship.
Under this situation, Lei Mingkai was unable and did not have the courage to mention that existence for fear of irritating Aslan.
However,
Facing Lei Mingkai's question, Aslan just shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "I know who the person you want to ask is? That's right. Under the influence of Eric, no matter it is me,
Lux Klein has undergone some changes, and these changes have evolved towards a slightly optimistic point."
Having said this, Aslan smiled.
"It's also thanks to Eric that I discovered Lux Klein for the first time. This national princess will one day have a bad temper."
"Having a little temper?" Lei Mingkai was surprised.
"Yes." Aslan nodded, then glanced at the aristocratic Euphemia, and joked.
"Kay. If on that day, Your Highness Euphemia suddenly starts to play tricks on you, how would you feel?"
As soon as Aslan's question came out, Lei Mingkai was on pins and needles.
A seemingly casual gaze vaguely glanced back and forth at Lei Mingkai's profile.
"Forehead"
Lei Mingkai moved his lips and said decisively from his heart: "I would feel very honored."
"Really?" Aslan glanced at Remingkai and Euphemia in a funny way. "Perhaps, I would have the same idea as you at that time."
However, Aslan took a slow breath.
"It's just that when things changed next, this honor that didn't last long changed."
"Mutation? Is it a freedom snatching incident?"
"Yes. Freedom was taken away. And the mastermind was Lux Klein. Under her leadership, Kira Yamato, who was rescued to the capital of the plant, boarded the freedom and drove it away."
Aslan let out a long sigh.
"Perhaps, I should thank Kira. It is because of him that I discovered who the person I care about is! Lux Klein, this is a beautiful fantasy, but it will eventually be shattered."
Aslan subconsciously groped for something on his left wrist, as if groping for something, and murmured words that were not loud but could be heard by Remingkai and Euphemia.
"During that time, it was Eric who supported my existence, and she inspired me to fight again. So, before the decisive battle, I chose to confess everything."
"The result is"
The thoughtful Euphemia immediately thought of the ending from the previous conversation between Aslan and Kira.
There was a trace of sadness on Aslan's face, but he nodded slowly.
"Yes. In that decisive battle, Erico was killed. Under the free beam sword, he disappeared from this world."
Although they had guessed the ending, when Aslan said this unexpected ending, Remingkai and Euphemia didn't know how to respond.
On the contrary, Aslan quickly put away his sadness and showed a smile, indicating that Remingkai and Euphemia did not need to worry too much.
"Okay! That's what happened. Kai, you should have guessed why I appeared here, right?"
Lei Mingkai's eyes fell on Aslan's left wrist, showing a thoughtful look.
"Aslan, do you want to resurrect Eric Pompeii? In this universe with infinite possibilities."
Hearing this, Aslan nodded heavily and said decisively: "Yes. Although this is Mia's last wish for me, after coming to this world, this idea became clearer. Now, not only Mia
Ya's last wish is also my wish. Kai, Miss Yuffie, do you think I am naive and ridiculous? I even tried to resurrect a person who has been dead for more than ten years."
"No, Mr. Aslan. No one has the right to make fun of your wish. In my opinion, the wish to resurrect your beloved, even if it is false, is the most sincere wish in the world." Euphemia
Ya shook her head, showed an undeniable look, and resolutely encouraged Aslan.
"Yes. Aslan. Although I still don't know exactly what this world can achieve, but since you should have come here under Lei's arrangement, it means that Lei and the others have known your wish.
And I have a certain degree of confidence in this." Lei Mingkai also helped.
"Yeah?"
Aslan cheered up with the cheers from Remincai and Euphemia.
"It seems that I still have the same old problem as before. I didn't expect that after serving as the captain of the exploration fleet for more than ten years, this old problem still hasn't been changed." Aslan shook his head, as if
He feels discouraged by his own failure.
"That's not the case. Mr. Aslan pays too much attention to Miss Erica. That's why he worries about gains and losses at critical moments."
Euphemia couldn't help but defend herself.
"That may be the case! But no matter what, thank you very much for today! Kai, Miss Yuffie, it looks like I have to treat you to another meal."
After clearing away the haze entangled in his thoughts, Aslan also began to tease Remingkai and Euphemia.
"Haha. If your wallet is not afraid of Aslan, Yuffie and I are always welcome. After all, who wouldn't be happy if someone treats you!"
"Then, after Kai and Ms. Yuffie win the next competition, we can have a meal here again, okay?"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
at the same time,
The eyes staring at this room also quietly retracted their gaze.
"Are you relieved?"
A crisp voice came from behind.
"Yes. I feel relieved."
As the voice that put aside worries sounded, the face named Kira Yamato also appeared under the light.
"Kira. Although I don't know much about the grudge between you, you must know that your request has violated the rules of the Empress Hotel. If my father hadn't spoken, I would not have let you do this."
What appeared in front of Kira was a girl with a frosty face, black hair, wearing a cheongsam, and holding a slender pipe in her hand.
"Yes. I know. If I violate the rules, I am willing to accept the punishment. Miss." Kira's attitude was very humble, as if the person standing in front of him was not a girl, but a noble person with terrifying powers.
The existence of strength.
After the girl looked Kira up and down for a few times, she waved her hand impatiently. "Forget it! Since it was Dad who asked, I won't make it difficult for you. You can go back! You won't do it again."
"Yes. Thank you very much!" Kira bowed slightly to the girl, and when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the girl again.
"Wait a minute. Kira Yamato. Now that you have made your choice, don't forget the price. Whether it is you or Aslan, your current strength is simply not enough to fulfill that wish."
The girl slowly turned the slender pipe in her hand, her ruby-like pupils shining with the light of wisdom.
"You know, when treating you and Cagalli's bodies, the Ashar family and Orb paid a corresponding price. And now, without Aslansala's knowledge, you still have
What price can be paid?”
Kira nodded as usual.
"Of course I know this. Please don't worry, Miss. I will still pay the price."
A wisp of light smoke slowly exhaled from the girl's attractive red lips. In the rising fog, her ruby-like pupils became hazy and blurred.
"Get out of here! Kira Yamato. Remember your promise."
"yes."
As soon as the lights went dark, Kira Yamato's presence disappeared from the room.
but,
at the next moment,
The moment the lights come on again,
The girl with a frosty face actually threw away the pipe in her hand, snapped her fingers, and then sat down on the sofa that emerged from the void.
"Ahhh! When will this miserable life end?! Why do I, a beautiful girl, have to stay in this room and can't go out!!!!"
Amidst her frantic shouting, a burst of laughter suddenly appeared.
"Who! Who's there!"
The appearance of laughter made the girl straighten her body instantly, and like a frightened kitten, she cautiously looked at this already familiar room.
"Xiao Xue'er. You are still so timid!"
Suddenly, the girl was hugged by a pair of hands extending from behind.
"Ah!! Who!!"
As one scream rang out, another scream rang out.
"Sister Meimei!!!!"
"Yes! It's me! Xiaoxue'er, it seems that you haven't been stupid in this room yet!"
The person who held the girl in her arms was He Meimei, who had not appeared for a long time. She smiled and pinched the little face of the girl in her arms, and said dotingly:
"Let me see! Well, it seems that you now have the power of Aunt Mei's third success! If you continue like this, you may be able to become the new queen of the castle."
It's better not to mention it.
As soon as he mentioned it, the girl shook He Meimei's arm frantically and said: "I don't want to stay here! Let me out quickly!!! I've been staying in this broken room all day!! I was just careless.
Did you burn dad’s Phoenix? As for locking me in this room for so long for a year? A year!!! I spent my fifteenth birthday here!!!”
When she mentioned that her birthday was spent alone in this room, alone, the girl almost broke down and cried.
"Sister Meimei!!! Do you know how I celebrated my birthday?! This is my fifteenth birthday!!!"
"Wow!!"
In an instant, big tears rolled down.
While He Meimei was comforting this poor sister who had been in confinement for a year, Aslan, Remingkai and Euphemia left the Empress Hotel and prepared to return to their residence to rest.
"Kai, do you really don't need me to take you back?"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Aslan looked at Remingkai and Euphemia standing on the roadside and asked.
"No. Euphemia and I want to take a walk in this city." Remingkai and Euphemia smiled at each other and rejected Aslan's invitation.
"Really? Then, I wish you a good night." After saying this, Aslan suddenly said teasingly: "But you must pay attention to the time! Don't delay the game."
"Yeah, we will. Goodbye!"
Remingkai and Euphemia stood on the side of the road, watching Aslan's car disappear at the intersection. Euphemia turned back to look at Remingkai, who had been staring at the intersection for a long time.
"Kay, what are you looking at?"
"No. It's just some emotion. Yuffie, the world is not static, is it?"
