Lucius shouted with joy. Xingmo looked down and was surprised to find that the top of the "White Tower" was already lit with green light.

Lucius has already drawn enough power from the "Invisible Mist"!

"Let the 'Long-Ringing Starry Sea Bell' ring for Miriam Phillips!"

Then, an illusory bell rang from the top of the White Tower—

"clang--"

Xing Mo's eyes went blank, and chaotic illusions flashed before her eyes again.

Stars, countless stars, countless eyes.

Golden pupils.

Deep inside the pupil, there are countless pupils.

The past and the fleeting life are flashing in every pair of pupils.

They have always been there, overlooking the earth, but without any aura of their own.

"Do not..."

Xing Mo raised his head and saw a golden light bursting out from the sky. The darkness dissipated and golden stars once again filled the night sky.

Under the night sky, a meteor fell from the sky, dragging a golden tail, whistling through the clouds and heading towards the Nefera Beta Magic Academy.

Lucius turned his head and gave Xingmo a gratified smile:

"Xiaomo, she's back."

The next second, the golden star hit the top of the "Tree of Life", and golden light exploded, instantly engulfing everything under the tree.

Xing Mo only felt that everything in front of him was swallowed by the golden light, and his consciousness dissipated in confusion.

......

"Xiaomo?"

"Xiaomo?"

"...!"

Xingmo suddenly woke up and found that she had fallen asleep on the desk.

She shook her head, feeling dizzy and confused.

In a daze, the teacher's voice came from the front row:

"...The alchemical steam engine is truly a groundbreaking invention. Although it bears the name of ancient alchemy, its essence is based on string magic..."

"...Of course, there have always been different opinions within the Citadel regarding this invention. Across the sea, the Machiavelli Empire even openly opposed the widespread use of the alchemical steam engine, arguing that if this technology were used militarily, it would undermine the naval power of their own 'Golden Fleet'..."

Xingmo raised her head and found that the teacher on the podium was Lucius!

He was giving a lecture with a rosy face, looking eloquent, his collar neatly tied, and he was in high spirits.

"Isn't it nice? I put it on dad this morning~"

Xing Mo turned around blankly and saw the blonde girl sitting beside her with a smile on her face, her lake blue eyes as clear as crystal.

It's Miriam.

"..."

Xing Mo stared at Miriam's face blankly, her hands trembling slightly.

She looked at Miriam and her expression suddenly became confused:

"Xiaomo? What's wrong?"

"What...what?" Xingmo's voice trembled a little.

"Why are you...crying?"

Xing Mo touched her cheek and realized that her cheek was wet with tears.

......

11) "Life" (Part 6) - 6k4 chapters - (3-in-1)

"Milliam..."

Xing Mo stared blankly at Miriam beside her... Yes, that was of course her, with a quiet and lovely face, long light golden hair, and lake blue eyes that seemed to belong to a quirky kitten.

"Xiaomo, what's going on?"

Miriam's expression became a little flustered. Looking at Xingmo's tears, she seemed frightened for a moment.

She looked around hurriedly for a while, then leaned close to Xingmo's ear and whispered:

"Are you feeling unwell? Let me talk to Dad and take you to the school infirmary?"

"No...I'm fine..."

Xingmo held back her sobs and wiped her tears with her hands.

She didn't know what was going on, but letting her emotions overwhelm her at this time would never be a wise choice.

"..."

Miriam looked at Xingmo in confusion, with an expression that said, "I can't do anything about you."

Then, she took out her handkerchief and wiped Xingmo's face:

"Your little face is all red from crying."

......

"Ding-a-ling-ding-a-ling--"

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, followed by the clatter of tables and chairs, and then a flurry of conversations.

Miriam ran to the front of the classroom and said a few words to Lucius, then turned back, put her hands on the edge of the table, lowered her head and put it in front of Xingmo:

"Xiao Mo, Dad said he's not home tonight. Can I go to your place for a meal?"

"Hmm?" Xing Mo came back to his senses and nodded, "Of course...

During the class just now, Xingmo understood two things.

First, this is a collection of memories, not the real world.

Second, she currently exists in the form of a soul.

The first point can be derived without much thought. As for the second point, Xingmo's reason is also very simple -

——Xingmo was still in the form of a girl, but Miriam did not fail to recognize her.

Excluding external factors, the discernment of the soul will not change.

She guessed that this might be the interior of the fallen star, and everything before her was a combination of soul and memory.

So... Miriam's is really here.

"..."

Seeing Xingmo was lost in thought, Miriam's face swayed in front of her, her little mouth pouting slightly.

Xing Mo was startled again, then smiled at her:

"what's wrong?"

"Why do you look so worried?" Miriam muttered. "Even though you're always worried, you didn't even react when I suggested going to your house for dinner today."

"What kind of reaction do you want to see?" Xing Mo felt warm in her heart.

"Well... you should at least cheer for a bit~"

Miriam took two steps back and turned around, the hem of her uniform swaying lightly.

"Don't you miss me?"

"Miss you? This..."

Xing Mo was stunned, and then suddenly realized something.

She lowered her head and murmured:

"Did you know everything?"

Suddenly, the surrounding scene seemed to darken a bit, the sun outside the window moved quickly, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye.

The sunset light fell on Miriam's face, making half of her face immersed in shadow and blurred.

But a smile like the morning light appeared on her face:

"Of course I know...it's been...quite a long time, right?"

"Yeah..." Xingmo murmured.

She thought that Miriam in front of her was just a memory, a mark living in her memory, but she didn't expect that she knew everything.

"Are you really...Milliam?" Xingmo looked up with sparkling eyes.

"Don't be so tearful...it's been so long," Miriam said with a wry smile, "Yeah...it's me..."

"But...why on earth...?"

"Hey, it's been so long since we last met. Can we not talk about such heavy topics?"

Miriam frantically took out her handkerchief and wiped Xingmo's face:

"You haven't answered my question yet. I want to go to your house for dinner. Will you give me some face?"

"Of course, let's go."

Xingmo stood up, took a deep breath, and calmed her trembling breathing.

Then she forced a smile at Miriam:

"let's go."

Looking at Xingmo's wet smile, Miriam was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed.

She turned around and took light steps in the classroom shrouded in dusk light, like a dancer on the stage at the curtain call.

"It's been so long, and Xiaomo is still sentimental~"

......

"Sure enough, Xiaomo's cooking is still delicious..."

In Xingmo's apartment, Miriam sat at the table, eating the noodles made by Xingmo with a smile on her face.

As she slurped, she looked at Xingmo across the table, her eyes seeming to sparkle.

Looking at Miriam's eyes, Xingmo forced a smile:

"Just eat if you like."

"Why don't you eat?" Miriam swallowed the noodles. "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hmm... Not hungry..."

Xingmo looked at Miriam, at the girl's angelic face, and her long light golden hair was just as soft and beautiful as she remembered.

Seeing her eating noodles with soybean paste so happily, Xing Mo murmured:

"Is the noodles I made really delicious?"

"It's the best." Miriam gave a thumbs up.

"Is that so..." Xingmo thought thoughtfully.

Miriam glanced at Xingmo's face, then turned her eyes to the side and muttered in a strange voice like a little fox:

"Have other girls also praised your fried noodles?"

"How... did you know?" Xing Mo was shocked.

"Because Xiaomo's worries are basically written on her face," Miriam murmured, "She's not cunning at all, I can see through her at a glance."

"Is there...is there any?"

"Yeah, so you're not suited to lying at all. A single glance can reveal everything to others. If you were to be a spy or something, you'd probably be arrested the next day."
