Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 62 The Third Thing: I Love You
What?! Bai Yuekui was struck dumb.

Her hair fluttered in the wind, but her gaze was fixed on ASH number two's face.

“Say it again,” she said urgently.

With decades of experience and maturity, just one sentence was enough to make ASH No. 2 completely lose her composure.

“Yue Kui, your father and I are waiting for you.” ASH No. 2 gazed at Bai Yue Kui’s face with incredibly tender eyes.

Its eyes shone with blue light, and its smile was gentler and more natural than ever before.

Boom!

Bai Yuekui's fist hardened.

"Where is that person!" Bai Yuekui gripped his Tang sword tightly, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

The person impersonating my dad wants to see me?
OK!

It's time to meet.

ASH2 smiled: "We're here."

It projects a map.

There are two bright spots on the map, representing the locations of Bai Yuekui and Bai Jingyu, respectively.

Bai Yuekui stared intently.

The two points of light are symmetrical around Dragonbone Village, in completely opposite directions.

We need to get there.
It will take at least ten hours.

Bai Yuekui frowned deeply: "So far?"

“The opening of each passage is random, and we have no way to control the location,” ASH2 said gently.

“I’ve put the airship’s engine running at full capacity so you have a chance to see us before the passage closes. As for the airship’s own wear and tear, your father will cover it.”

Before he could finish speaking, the doors of the hovercar slammed shut.

Bai Yuekui's brows were furrowed.

She had the chance to leave before the car doors closed completely, but she didn't move.

"Maido, take everyone back. I have to go out for a bit." Her voice flew through the crack in the door and landed among the bewildered Awakened Walkers.

Boss Bai left before he could even finish off the group of gene-obsessed lunatics and clean up the battlefield.

Has something urgent happened?

The car doors closed.

The car fell silent. Bai Yuekui turned his head and asked, "What passage?"

ASH2 revealed a serene smile: "A passage through a parallel universe, Moon Queen, the one speaking to you now is the real me."

The real me?

Bai Yuekui looked closely and found that ASH's expression was much more lively than usual, and not stiff at all.

"Parallel universe?" she asked with a look of doubt.

As an excellent scientist, she knew about the theory of parallel universes, but there was no evidence to prove their existence.

Parallel universes are more like a beautiful lie.

It allows people to fantasize about a happy life in another world when they have nothing and are at their lowest point, thus temporarily numbing themselves.

ASH nodded slightly: "Yes, we come from Hisakawa City before the disaster."

"The reason why we didn't store information in this digital clone is because we were worried about information leakage, which could lead the enemy from this timeline to our timeline."

Bai Yuekui was stunned.

“Moon Queen,” ASH said softly.

"Stop talking about parallel universes!" Bai Yuekui interrupted ASH.

Ash tilted her head: "What's wrong?"

"Although I know you are deceiving me, if there is even the slightest possibility that it is true," Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

Please be careful with your words and actions.

“They are watching over this world, and it is indeed possible that they could be drawn into your time and space.”

Bai Yuekui stared at ASH's face.

She was distraught.

He both hoped to see a flaw and begged not to see one; it was as if two little moon demons were confronting each other in his mind.

Do parallel universes really exist?
She doesn't believe it.

But the ammunition boxes were new, as were the robots, and she still hadn't found their secret base. "I see. It seems the apocalypse is more serious than your father and I imagined." Ash smiled even more gently, as if completely unaffected by Bai Yuekui's words.

Bai Yuekui stared intently at ASH, but ultimately couldn't discern anything unusual on ASH's face.

Her doubts did not diminish.

At this moment, the floor of the hovercar trembled slightly.

Bai Yuekui sat down as usual.

The powerful acceleration pushed her back, and even without turning on the panoramic display, she could imagine how fast the hovercar must be going.

Do parallel universes really exist?

how can that be possible!
Bai Yuekui looked confused.

It didn't happen earlier or later, but it just had to appear at this exact moment.

Just like in many myths, whenever the protagonist is at her wit's end, a god will descend from the sky and extend a helping hand to her!
This is so fake.

Throughout her life, Lady Luck never smiled upon her.

After her father's death, her brother survives in a jar with only his brain remaining. Ash, who is like family to her, is then devoured by Mana's original body.

Her closest and dearest loved ones had all left her, and her own body was on the verge of collapse, while the faint hope of a counterattack against the ecosystem still awaited activation on the lighthouse.
Looking back after experiencing everything.

Aside from being born as Bai Jingyu's daughter, she has never been lucky in her life.

But when she could have appreciated this good fortune the most, she missed it because of her naivety and willfulness, and the only luck she had became her inner demon.

“Yue Kui, your father wants to say a few words to you,” ASH said softly.

Bai Yuekui pursed his lips tightly.

Two seconds later, she shook her head firmly: "Unless I see him with my own eyes, it's enough for me to just talk to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little.

She didn't know why she should refuse; perhaps she was afraid that if she found out in the end that the person was just an imposter, she wouldn't be able to handle the emotional rollercoaster.

“Alright, then I’ll pass on a few words for him,” Ash said with a smile.

Bai Yuekui remained silent.

"The first thing is not to stop the search for Yue Tian." ASH looked helpless, and his tone became strange.

"No wonder we haven't received any news about Yue Tian despite the time portal opening so many times and deploying so many robot soldiers. It turns out you issued the order to stop the search and rescue."

Bai Yuekui was stunned.

"What do you mean?" she asked instinctively, an unbelievable thought popping into her mind.

No way.
“Moonlight stumbled upon this place by mistake,” Ash replied.

“We believe he is still alive, so please release some of the robots to search for Yue Tian.”

These words exploded in Bai Yuekui's mind like a deep-sea bomb!
"What did you say!" Bai Yuekui was shocked, and his voice became shrill.

"My brother came over from your place?"

Bai Yuekui's eyes widened, his gaze filled with disbelief.

ASH nodded slightly: "Yes."

Bai Yuekui was dumbfounded.

ASH No. 2 mentioned the search and rescue of Bai Yuetian to her once when they first met.

Without a second thought, she ordered ASH2 to stop the mission, and several days have passed since she met ASH2.

If parallel universes truly exist, and her brother accidentally entered her post-apocalyptic world, he'd probably be on his seventh day of mourning by now.
Bai Yuekui's emotions were in turmoil.

Her face flashed red light frequently, her state of returning to the origin teetering on the edge of breaking through and not breaking through.

"The second thing is that you must take good care of yourself."

ASH continued, "Your world has ended, but our world's catastrophe hasn't started yet. You can bring the surviving humans to our world."

Bai Yuekui remained silent.

Her mind was a mess; her thoughts were still stuck on the first thing.

Could there really be parallel universes? Could my brother really have come?
Bai Yuekui's mind became increasingly chaotic, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife, causing his fingernails to turn white.

“The third thing is, I love you,” Ash whispered.

Bai Yuekui raised his head, his face showing astonishment.

"That's what he said."
