Him and their stars.

Chapter 2037 Night on the Galactic Railway?

This pause and freeze lasted for a very long time, or perhaps just a very short blink.

Yu Lian stared at the girl so close to him, seeing the incredulous look on Fei Fei's face, watching her forward momentum come to an abrupt halt. She lowered her head, looking incredulously at Yu Lian's hands that had disappeared into her body.

And so, the pent-up hatred and curses, along with the last vestige of warmth in her eyes, shattered in that instant. She opened her mouth, and a wisp of dark light escaped her lips.

Yu Lian could smell the metallic rust.

"Look... you killed me without hesitation? You're clearly only thinking about yourself."

Yu Lian was in excruciating pain, but the wrist that was embedded in the girl's body was crackling at a frequency that was invisible to ordinary people.

That was the Burial Ritual. It was passed down from my benefactor and something I had come to understand, a special attack specifically designed to counter Void Realm Lords, a powerful move that could empty half of my mana bar in one go.

Since it's a powerful move, it must be used with caution.

Since it is a special attack specifically designed to target the existence of the virtual realm, it naturally also has the secondary attack attribute of disintegrating information effects, but this is no longer very important.

Feifei's figure gradually lost its color and solidity, becoming increasingly ethereal.

Yu Lian almost burst into tears. No matter who the other person was, it was indeed his Fei Fei. He felt her pain deeply, and he was filled with grief. He felt as if half of his soul had been torn apart.

He now wishes he could kill himself.

"You..." When her last words came to an abrupt end, what echoed in Yu Lian's ears had already turned into a deep curse.

That was no longer Fei Fei's voice.

It wasn't even language with basic logic; it was just a chaotic chorus of notes that kept flailing wildly in one's own mind.

The whispers of the abyss? The howls of a black hole?
No, actually, neither is true. Often, what you hear is what you want to hear. And what you don't want to hear is always particularly clear.

...This isn't a paradox, it's human nature!

Yu Lian lowered his head, expressionless, as he watched the invisible, formless, and traceless sword of slaughter slice through his waist and abdomen.

This destructive ripple of light pierced through Yu Lian's ethereal body without hindrance, creating a dissipating wave.

"Ah! In the end, I still didn't let Feifei have her fill!" Yu Lian sighed with a mixture of satisfaction and pain. His upper body then detached from his standing upper body and fell to the ground.

Yu Lian's body twitched a few times on the ground, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining half of his face, and his eyes gradually lost focus.

His pupils were dilated, almost merging with the whites of his eyes.

However, before the regret could completely solidify in the corner of his eye, he was slapped hard on the head.

"What are you playing at this time?"

Yu Lian, who had been cut in half at the waist, opened his eyes and saw Fei Fei kneeling in front of him, looking down at his face: "The magnanimity and elegance that a powerful and noble psychic conveys to the world when he dies in a duel. What, you didn't understand this state of mind at all? I thought you were going to use it in a movie."

"I just see you acting like an idiot. If I used that in a movie, people would suspect that my Agomi Award was arbitrated."

"Gulp? Isn't that right?" Yu Lian had just opened his mouth when Fei Fei pinched his cheek hard. Even though he only had half a body left, Fei Fei's actions were anything but polite.

After the girl let go, Yu Lian asked, "So, you didn't see anything, right?"

"What did I see? I saw you lying to me, crying and admitting that you made a mistake that all men make. I saw you crying and begging me to give you another chance?"

Well, while the directions may not be completely different, there are certainly many details that are open to discussion.

"Um, is there any more?" Yu Lian asked cautiously.

"Yes! I wasn't willing to forgive you, and I even decided to kill all those little foxes, slutty foxes, philandering foxes, and those two big ones. You couldn't accept that. So you killed me first."

"..."

"Yes, just like you did. You turned your hand into a sword and stabbed it into my body, as if you wanted to rip out my heart without even looking at it. I'm clearly pregnant."

That's so despicable! Although Yu Lian admitted that he made the mistake that all men make and admitted that he is a scumbag, it's impossible for him to have been born to this extent, right?

However, even though they were standing side by side, the disjointed sense of time made them experience different passages of time. Yu Lian only experienced a painful death battle, but Fei Fei seemed to have gone through a level 3 dungeon.

"They used too much force," Yu Lian commented. "Precisely because they used too much force, the overall situation isn't particularly dangerous."

“That’s right. As a director, I think that overacting is even more hopeless than having no acting skills at all. Some actors these days can make twenty expressions in a single frame, but it’s still more distracting than those idols who have no expression at all.” Fei Fei laughed, “I suddenly remembered that you’ve never hurt me from childhood to adulthood. We’ve never even argued.”

There's definitely some sarcastic banter and teasing between us. That's mainly because we're both rational and emotionally stable enough. We all have to keep going, so what's the point of breaking up? Why argue and ruin our future?
Yu Lian looked at Fei Fei with deep affection, as if conveying sincere feelings through his eyes: "My words... I just remember that you told me that you were here, that you have always been here."

Feifei paused slightly, a tender affection rekindling in her eyes. She leaned down and gently kissed Yu Lian, who was now only half-dead. After a long while, their lips parted, and she sighed, her eyes filled with a complex mix of relief and regret: "People have always said that you're becoming more and more like a typical superior. But, my dear Yu'er, you've never doubted my love for you!"

Even though he had been cut in half at the waist, Yu Lian reached out his hand, wanting to hug his girl as if he wanted to pull her completely into his embrace.

"But you've never actually doubted Brin and Annie's love for you, have you?"

"..." Yu Lian hesitated, not because she doubted the feelings the two had for her or her feelings for them, but simply because she wondered if it could be considered love.

"Don't deny it. Although there's a lot of mutual exploitation between you, and you have to be wary of each other while also sharing resources, your feelings are genuine. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't mind spending your life with any of them. No, you would actually be very happy. Haven't you already done that?"

Before Yu Lian could speak up, Fei Fei continued, "Of course, it's in a quantum state. But, darling, isn't the quantum state the human mind?"

"...We psionicists are really good at quantum mechanics!" Yu Lian could only sigh.

"Yes, statistics show that psionicists and theoretical physicists are the most likely to encounter quantum entanglement."

"..." With only half of his body remaining, Yu Lian looked at his girl again with a blank gaze.

“Okay, I just made this up on the spot.” Fei Fei smiled. “But, darling, there’s really no need to deny it anymore. Up until now, you’ve been harboring a subconscious fantasy about them. Is that based on the leader’s rational judgment?”

Yu Lian remained silent. "Of course, this might also be a way to achieve success. There are historical examples of this. Aren't they all figures of envy in history? Oh, Yu'er, what can you do when your name is Yu Lian?"

"Is there a problem with calling him Yu Lian?" He was finally able to speak.

Feifei stared at Yu Lian and let out a dry laugh: "Hahaha, I don't know, but people just think your name matches your behavior. Is this also a kind of quantum entanglement? Fish, don't you think that these days, besides scientists, the people most likely to come into contact with quantum entanglement are us psionicists?"

Yu Lian fell silent again.

After a moment, he considered his words carefully and said in a hoarse voice, "Feifei, my situation is..."

"Of course you're still you. You haven't even forgotten who you are, have you?" Feifei stretched out a finger and pressed it against Yu Lian's mouth: "Don't forget, Yu'er, when you were still a foolish and innocent middle school student, working as a bar girl for 1000 yuan, he was already a saint. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell who you are?"

At this point, she mimicked Feifei's gesture, raising one index finger to each side and gesturing: "I am Black Moon, I assassinate souls. No one understands the truth of the soul better than me. At least I understand more than you. Fish, do you dare deny it?"

Yu Lian was once again speechless.

But speaking of which, isn't Black Moon's main business chivalrous thieves? Are you already starting to reveal your assassin identities?
"I can't guess what your secret is, but it's nothing more than an entanglement of massive amounts of information. We are psionicists, with mysterious sources of power lurking within our minds that no one knows. We wander between the surreal realm of spiritual particles and the reality of matter, our spirits constantly at risk of being touched by descents from the illusory realm, or even from a more distant universe. Whether this is a blessing, a fortuitous encounter, or a corruption, only we ourselves can decide." Feifei looked at the dumbfounded Yu Lian and smiled.

"Do you want to know where the earliest lineage of Black Moon came from? If you do, you might not be able to look me in the eye anymore."

Yu Lian thought to himself, "Even if you really become a Void Realm Lord, I might actually find it quite cool. The way you had those black mists with dozens of jade arms was also pretty cool once you got used to the premise."

...Although, that was actually a reflection of my own psychology.

Thinking about it, could it be that my XP is actually like this? Yu Lian was shocked.

"Of course I'm curious about your secret. But this secret doesn't mean you're not you, nor does it make me stop loving you. Besides, my little fish, my intuition tells me that this secret is closely related to your path to truth. You mustn't tell me until you reach that realm. And of course, you mustn't tell anyone!"

"Feifei, do you believe I can reach the side of truth?"

"You can definitely do it, and so can I. Don't forget, Fish, he might be a clone. It wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly died at any time."

"Indeed, we've all forgotten about that setting."

"The shadow of their dark past is still very strong, and the pressure to survive is still very heavy. And as for me, I have genuinely considered the possibility of spending hundreds of years with you. So, doesn't the side of truth become a necessary foundation?"

This is such a basic thing!

Yu Lian was silent for half a minute, then suddenly burst out laughing, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Oh my god, I've met such a wonderful woman. I must have saved the galaxy in my past life."

"So, aren't you going to be a little more faithful to a good woman like me?"

"I'm sorry, but what can we do now that things have come to this? If I say I want to change, would you believe me?" Yu Lian said confidently, then added, "Besides, putting aside the illusion, I really haven't done anything substantial to wrong you."

"Scumbag!" Fei Fei snorted. Of course, since she didn't exude any murderous aura, it sounded more like she was just being coquettish.

"Yes, you can despise me in your mind. Because it's all true!"

Yu Lian held his girl tightly, as if he had used up all his last strength.

After what seemed like an eternity, Fei Fei finally gently pushed Yu Lian away: "So, how long are you going to stay like this?"

Thus, Yu Lian, who had been cut in half at the waist, straightened up again. His perfect lower body then materialized directly from the gray mist.

At least it doesn't grow out of slime like the Namekians, so overall it doesn't look too bizarre.

Feifei looked Yu Lian up and down, nodded in satisfaction, then stepped forward and hugged him, patted his cheek with satisfaction, and gave him a fragrant kiss: "That was the so-called burial ritual just now."

"This is the name given by the roots of mysticism. Since it is a scientific name, it cannot be changed."

If possible, he would like to name it something like "Nine Dragon Slayers" or "Nine Sunset Arrows" according to his own aesthetic.

“You have severely damaged Him, but this is not the end of the matter.”

“Without the evolution just now and deliberately revealing a flaw, I would never have had the chance to severely injure him,” Yu Lian said.

Of course, whether this flaw was intentionally revealed is no longer important.

Importantly, both he and Feifei need to open their hearts and seek opportunities for refinement and integration.

Feifei nodded and whispered in her lover's ear, "I'll say it again, I've always been here."

“I will never doubt this again,” Yu Lian said.

He closed his eyes and felt his soul float up, traversing the sea of ​​nothingness and embers, passing through countless shackles of the void and the ends of fragments formed by history.

He felt as if he were traversing a spatial barrier between the world and the universe.

Again…

Yu Lian was awakened by a long, rumbling sound.

He felt as if his eyelids were made of lead, so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He felt that just opening his eyes took all his strength.

The first thing that fills the nostrils is a complex aroma, a blend of expensive leather, aged cigars, and polished walnut wood. Expensive yet vintage, it exudes a romance bestowed by time.

He found himself lying on an excessively large velvet sofa, the deep red velvet like a young girl's embrace, half-sinking into it.

He could still feel a slight vibration beneath him, a strong metallic friction, and the deep, powerful roar of a steam engine emanating from the gaps in the metal.

"Steam train, luxury carriages, Victorian era? How impressive!" Yu Lian couldn't help but exclaim with interest: "So, what kind of script is this scene from? The era of classic detective fiction with Uncle Fu and Fatty Bo? Steampunk and occult detectives? The return of old gods and the descent of evil gods? Or is it a world view where the evil gods of Tarot are preparing to open brothels?"

Either way, it's really exciting!
However, when his gaze finally swept across the window, he was so stunned by the bright, twinkling stars that he was speechless for a moment.

"So, is this the Night of the Galactic Railroad?"
