Poxon, who was standing to the side, shook his ears, which had been covered by Dia for a long time and were now sore from being covered!
She glared fiercely at the lost-in-thought Dia, then suddenly pounced on him and bit his ear!
"WC! Here we go again!"
Caught off guard by the sneak attack, Diya was instantly enraged and was about to grab Xiaobo and start doing radio calisthenics.
Suddenly, he felt the pain in his ear disappear, and Pokson's movements stopped abruptly.
"Gu..."
A strange sound came from behind, and Dia turned her head in confusion, only to see a pair of bright, watery eyes.
Pokson, his face flushed red, released his grip, his pupils dilated wildly, and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
She just stared at Dia in disbelief, her body stiff as a puppet, her mind blank.
"Hey, Miss Poker, you're awake. Do you like my ears?"
Diya rubbed her ear, which had been bitten for the second time, and asked in a resentful tone.
He suspected that Xiao Bo must have been starved when he was a child, otherwise why would he keep biting people?
Pokson slowly lowered her head, her face flushed red, almost bleeding. Her brain was racing, and she was practically steaming.
If you woke up one morning and suddenly found yourself staring blankly at someone of the opposite sex's ear, what do you think you should do?
Poxon's answer was:
"Gu, just kill me..."
"Huh? Killing you now? Are you kidding me...?"
"Let me die!"
Pokson cried out to the heavens, her lifelong innocence and intelligent persona completely gone. Why did she seem more and more like a comedic character?!
Dia looked at Miss Poker, who was starting to act crazy again, with a headache.
This guy is really annoying.
He looked around, then casually picked up the little bear Pochi, which was crawling around on the ground, and shoved it into Pokson's face, finally silencing her wailing...
After a chaotic scene, Dia finally managed to coax and persuade Poxon to give up his idea of jumping off the airship.
But what followed was a death stare from her as she held Pochi in her arms.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Dia looked around and suddenly noticed some strange marks on Poxon's arm.
He moved closer to Poxson, grabbed her hand, and saw two words written in blood—
The Fool
Chapter 287 Runway × Testing Abilities
“Fool…”
Diya's eyelids twitched, a hint of surprise and uncertainty in her expression.
The Fool is the first card of the Major Arcana, symbolizing a person who is foolish yet wise at heart, and also representing the beginning of everything, infinite possibilities...
The reason Dia felt a subtle surprise was that his Stand, The World, was named after the last card of the Major Arcana, symbolizing the end of everything and perfect balance.
One is the first image, and the other is the last. Is it a coincidence that "The Fool" and "The World" appear at the same time?
Although reason told Dia that there was almost a 90% chance that the text in front of her was just a coincidence, she couldn't ignore certain chilling thoughts.
Pokson looked down at the writing on his arm and was also stunned, completely baffled.
Her memory had not yet returned, and she was completely unaware of everything that had happened since she lost consciousness.
In addition, the shock of what happened right after I woke up made me not notice the marks on my hands.
"What's this?"
Poxen muttered to herself, "That word sounds like it's being insulted?"
Who played this prank? Was it Dia?
Poxon looked up sharply and saw Dia's equally confused expression. Suddenly, he realized it probably wasn't him.
He's not that bored; if he wanted to criticize himself, he would do it directly...
Memories are like underground rivers buried thousands of meters beneath the earth, quietly rising with the bubbles of recollection, revealing a barely perceptible clue.
"Hey, I have amnesia. What happened during this time?"
Scattered fragments of memory crowded into Poxen's mind, some of which were enough to make her lose her will to live on this planet, which made her panic.
"To be precise, it's not amnesia, but rather that you've reverted to a 2-year-old state, clinging to me like a baby 24/7, and constantly biting my head..."
Diya's blunt words left her instantly embarrassed.
Then Dia recounted the entire process from when he carried Poxen out of the palace until they boarded the airship.
Of course, this excludes things that she shouldn't know; knowing too much wouldn't do her any good.
Pokson listened to Dia's incessant complaints with a flushed face, really wanting to punch her and tell her to stop talking.
Is this guy a caveman? He's saying something so serious and he can't help but laugh.
But as Dia narrated, she did indeed recall some things that seemed like they were in a dream.
Those wooden doors, the endless dark corridor, and—the platinum iron doors.
As if waking from a dream, Poxon said absentmindedly:
"I remember now. After I lost consciousness, I seemed to enter a dimly lit corridor. I saw countless wooden doors that couldn't be opened, and a platinum iron door. That door gave me a very different feeling, and it could be opened!"
Is it similar to consciousness entering another dimension?
Dia pinched her chin, recalling Nob's "Four-Dimensional Apartment," which also created an alternate dimension, though it seemed that Poxon had only entered it with his consciousness.
"You opened the door, what did you see?"
Dia had a premonition that they might be getting close to uncovering the truth behind the blood-written words on Poxon's hands.
All Nen users, whether through active development or unconscious awakening, must have some kind of opportunity that allows them to understand the essence of their abilities, because Nen is itself a deep-seated desire within the user's heart.
"At that moment, I opened the door and saw a long, seemingly endless white running track passing right by the entrance..."
The track had no beginning and no end; it lay there quietly, like a solidified moonlight, giving her a chill that seeped into her bones, a coolness that belonged to the depths of the universe.
Pokson tried to step on it, but was immediately supported by a strange combination of flexibility and solidity. The track was not a hard surface, but rather a perfect balance between density and nothingness.
Tread-tap-
Suddenly, a series of very rhythmic footsteps came from the end of that straight, almost cruelly straight field of vision.
Upon hearing the sound, Poxen looked up and saw a familiar figure appearing and disappearing in the white light. Only when the figure drew closer could she make out the person's face clearly.
With her slightly wavy, neat shoulder-length short hair and delicate, spirited features, there's no doubt that it's Pokson's own face!
Pokson felt her blood freeze instantly; an indescribable chill seeped into her heart, almost making her cry out in surprise.
The number two runner, Poxon, ran at a steady pace, like a precision running machine, performing the running motion meticulously day after day for decades.
The most striking feature was his eyes. His once lively eyes were now filled with gloom and vicissitudes, like pearls covered in dust, yet they also revealed an incredibly terrifying tenacity and obsession.
Number Two Pokson was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he ran in front of the stunned original Pokson.
Unexpectedly, she stopped and stared at Pokson's true form for a long time with her eyes, which were filled with terrifying obsession, before coldly saying:
"...You're too early, go back now."
Before Pokson could react, the man grabbed her arm, bit his fingertip and drew a few lines on it, then shoved her out of the platinum iron gate!
"...and then I woke up."
Pokson swallowed hard, still finding it extremely strange.
When someone is in the midst of daily life and suddenly and unexpectedly sees someone who looks exactly like them, speaking in a language they can't understand at all, the chilling feeling is something that most people can't imagine.
"However, I feel that it is my Nen ability..."
Pokson raised her arm, on which two striking characters appeared. She had a feeling that whether it was the corridor, the track, or her sudden appearance, they were all part of her Nen ability.
Her abilities seem quite special?
"..."
Dia frowned, recalling Poxon's strange behavior yesterday, and said:
"Then how do you explain your teleportation-like behavior after you met the chairman? That must also be one of your abilities."
"That means my ability must have some use, allowing me to achieve this kind of teleportation ability."
Poxon said with certainty, "The truth is right before our eyes."
A thousand words are not as good as one concrete action!
Diya acted decisively, grabbing Poxon and heading to the training ground on the airship:
"Just go and try it. Since it's your ability, it must be something you can use freely. As long as you can trigger it again, you should be able to figure out how to use your ability."
Suddenly, Dia changed the subject and said with a smile:
"But before that, let's give your ability a name first, it's a tradition."
As for the name...
Pokson thought for a moment, then suddenly nodded firmly and said:
"【The Fool】, let's call him 【The Fool】!"
Chapter 288 Two Hours or a Moment? × Youthful Years
Pokson thought that the number two Pokson on the track was most likely herself.
As for why there were two versions of herself, that remains unknown. In any case, she felt that since it was information left by herself, it must have meaning.
