I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 156 Xia Mi's Invitation

Xia Mi's memories are not complicated.

After all, she was essentially a fabricated personality with only a little over a decade of life experience, most of which was no different from that of an ordinary human being, with only two periods that are worth noting—

Firstly, Xia Mi went to Shilan Middle School in the small town of Fuzhou to try to make contact with "Odin".

Secondly, it concerns Kassel.

Just as Uchiha Hikaru had guessed, Xia Mi was still a second-year high school student at Peking University High School, but she had already passed the "independent enrollment" of Kassel College. She was just waiting for the end of this semester to transfer to the preparatory class as an "A-level hybrid" and then train for a year before being promoted to the main campus of Kassel College in Chicago.

but……

Jormungandr was different.

In Uchiha Hikaru's perception, the Dragon King's memories were like a huge iceberg. What was floating on the surface was only the tip of the iceberg, while the rest was bound and sealed by invisible chains, buried beneath the frigid sea.

If she were to dive deeper, she might discover more, earlier, or even ancient secrets of dragons, but her consciousness might be frozen by the ice, causing irreparable damage.

To be on the safe side.

Uchiha Hikaru was merely standing on the "surface of the sea," glimpsing only a small part of the memories on the surface of the "iceberg."

Hmm... Judging from the description, it's the experience Xia Mi and Fenrir had during their last awakening.

The time was probably the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The location was a dimly lit underground palace.

Dressed in magnificent ancient costume, Xia Mi stood with a cold expression on a stone platform, back to back with a burly general, looking utterly exhausted. A hazy white mist of mercury vapor filled the air, and a dark river, stained red with mercury, flowed beneath it, hundreds of corpses floating on its surface.

—The general's appearance is somewhat unfamiliar, but judging from his silly look, he is most likely Fenrir in human form.

At this moment, a large number of figures were still rushing into the underground palace.

"...The Commander-in-Chief has ordered that no one be left alive!"

"kill!"

……

"This should have happened during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, right? And then, perhaps, the Wanggongchang explosion of 1626 followed?"

Uchiha Hikaru vaguely guessed when this scene took place.

Suddenly, the screen jittered.

Uchiha Hikaru immediately withdrew his thoughts, slightly opened his eyes, and saw Natsumi sitting opposite him scramble to her feet, looking around warily.

"What's wrong?"

"..."

Xia Mi frowned, bracing herself on the ground like a wary big cat, and carefully looked around before sitting back down. "It's nothing, it's just that someone was suddenly spying on us from somewhere... Do you have any other visitors here?"

"?"

You noticed it so quickly?

These dragon king-level beings... are indeed very sensitive.

But it's okay.

Since the imprint has already been made, it's not too late to try to explore the remaining memories after my pupil power has reached a higher level.

Uchiha Hikaru's thoughts stirred slightly, but his face remained impassive: "It's probably just some lingering resentment left behind by previous visitors. Don't worry about it."

As they spoke, Uchiha Hikaru raised her hand and conjured a tea set in front of her. She then rolled up her sleeves slightly, poured two cups of tea with her delicate hands, and handed one to the person opposite her: "Would you be interested in telling me about your story as siblings?"

After a moment of silence.

Xia Mi slowly began to speak.

She was referring to Xia Mi's experiences.

Uchiha Hikaru had already briefly browsed through it using "Eight Thousand Spears," so he was quite familiar with it.

Finally, Xia Mi looked at her intently again: "Then, may I ask Your Majesty the White King, when did you wake up?"

"Well... I woke up around the same time as you, about ten years ago."

"For the past ten thousand years, I had been sleeping in a daze in the depths of the icy abyss in the form of a spiritual body, until I was awakened by a shipwreck, I think it was called something like 'Lenin'... Here, see for yourself."

Uchiha Hikaru waved his hand again, and began playing "Black Swan Harbor.avi" in mid-air.

She had reviewed this memory from Tachibana Masamune countless times and knew every detail by heart.

With a little editing and piecing together, the script was formed: "Herzog attempts to seize the White Queen's power, inadvertently sinks the Lenin into the burial ground of the gods, and sacrifices a dragon embryo to revive her as the White Queen."

The script is almost entirely based on reality, except that what awakened from the burial site, the White King's "sacred remains," was replaced with her.

And this one and only fabricated point is the most difficult to disprove.

To be honest...

Uchiha Hikaru's experiences during the Warring States period were actually somewhat similar to those of the White King, only not as tragic, and she didn't sleep for as long...

After watching this CG.

The doubt in Xia Mi's eyes subsided a bit, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her gaze as she looked at Uchiha Hikaru.

"...So even someone as esteemed as you has had such a shameful experience."

"As expected, this is the fate of the outcasts."

Xia Mi took a deep breath, her gaze becoming solemn: "May I ask, how should I address you, Your Majesty the White King?"

"Whatever."

Uchiha Hikaru stretched: "Anyway, the era of dragons is over, and we old folks don't need to keep bringing up those times. You can think of me as a pure-blooded human if you want. Actually, I prefer the name Uchiha Hikaru to White King."

"Light...?"

Xia Mi nodded: "I understand."

After exchanging their "tragic experiences," the atmosphere between the two became noticeably more harmonious. However, calling them "friends" wasn't quite right, since pure-blooded dragons don't believe in friendship.

However, Xia Mi might be an exception, after all, this "strongest second-generation species" is notoriously tsundere...

"..."

Xia Mi slowly finished her cup of tea, seemed to ponder for a moment, and asked softly, "Hikaru... Sister, after you woke up this time, did you sense anything unusual?"

"what?"

"After waking up this time, I had a premonition that something was secretly plotting all of this. First, it was Fenrir and me, then 'Odin'... You may not know him, but he is the King of the Sky and the Wind, one of Fenrir and me's brothers. And then there's you, the White King..."

There has never been a precedent in history for so many Dragon Kings awakening and becoming active at the same time. Perhaps, it means He is returning.

"You mean... Black King?"

"Shh-"

Xia Mi made a shushing gesture and glanced cautiously to both sides: "Don't call Him by His name directly, or we might get noticed..."

"...It's alright, I am the White King, I have nothing to fear."

Uchiha Hikaru said it casually, but a strange look appeared in his eyes.

She was actually a little curious about one thing—

Xia Mi stayed at Shilan Middle School for so long, did she really not see anything strange about Lu Mingfei?

It's possible they noticed, but Lu Mingze erased their memories of it...

the other side.

Xia Mi tentatively asked, "To prepare for the storm that's brewing, shall we forge an alliance, Hikari-neechan? The kind where we'll fight side-by-side until death, with blood as our witness?"
