The support sent by the Fire Moth arrived quickly. In fact, it was Yuga who slowed down the speed. Hmm... why not call it the Space-Time Dragon? If Zhu Yufeng hadn't asked the Space-Time Dragon to play the role of the Fire Moth, the Space-Time Dragon would have taken the fighter plane directly to the universe.
Although it seems like if I were to go to space now, I would die too...
According to the predetermined plan, the Fire Moth fighter responsible for support launched a Honkai energy suppression device at the Space-Time Dragon. For Honkai beasts, this thing is similar to a anesthetic bullet.
The space-time dragon released the restraints on the fighter plane where Zhu Yufeng was, because the master did not say that it could not fight back, so it immediately launched a space-time reversal after releasing the restraints, and stuffed the launched Honkai energy suppression device back.
The Fire Moth warriors were dumbfounded.
Alicia reached out and held Zhu Yufeng's hand. Because the communication channel was unblocked, she couldn't speak to Zhu Yufeng directly. She could only hope that Zhu Yufeng could understand what she meant.
Zhu Yufeng understood. Alicia did not want any casualties to occur. After all, strictly speaking, the Space-Time Dragon was one of their own. It was best to avoid such a thing as one's own people killing one's own people.
Fortunately, a soldier reacted quickly enough and fired a second time immediately after the first launch failed. This was because the Space-Time Dragon was just pretending to accumulate power after receiving the order. Otherwise, even if he reacted quickly, the Space-Time Dragon would turn around and launch a destructive space-time spiral to destroy all support.
The space-time dragon that was hit immediately climbed to a higher altitude and rushed into outer space. The Fire Moth's fighter plane did not have the ability to fight in outer space, so it had to give up.
For the soldiers who were unaware of the truth, this was a discouraging result.
After this, the Fire Moth, which has recorded the Time-Space Dragon's specific Honkai energy reaction, will continue to monitor the Time-Space Dragon for a long time to ensure that it can respond in time when the Time-Space Dragon appears again.
Soon, the funeral for the soldiers who died in the appearance of the space-time dragon was held.
After all, it was his own Honkai beast that did it, and Zhu Yufeng felt that even though he didn't have much conscience, he should at least be there to show his support.
"Yuga is Brother Yufeng's companion Honkai beast, so isn't Mr. Vincent's sacrifice meaningless?" Pado whispered behind Zhu Yufeng.
"Not really." Zhu Yufeng replied softly, "Vincent's sacrifice is not meaningless. Without his intervention, Yuga would have expanded the scope of the collapse to ensure that he absorbed enough collapse energy. By then, the casualties would have been more than just a few."
Although the attacks of Vincent and others made the Space-Time Dragon hostile to humans, it also made the Space-Time Dragon choose to come to itself as quickly as possible after obtaining a certain amount of Honkai energy, rather than continuing to absorb Honkai energy in the form of a box.
For this reason, the sacrifice of Vincent and others was not meaningless, at least they saved the lives of most people.
As a representative of the warriors, Hen presented a bouquet of flowers to Vincent, then returned to the ranks and explained to Zhu Yufeng: "His fiancée, Elsa, also died in the Second Great Collapse, and he was depressed for a long time because of this. Perhaps this is the best outcome for him."
But this sentence made Zhu Yufeng feel ironic, irony towards himself. After all, it was ultimately his fault.
He would not feel regret or sadness for the death of most people, because he never cared, but Vincent's death... still made him care to some extent.
The best outcome? Is this really the best outcome for him?
"I'm going to training first." He said and left.
In a villa in Puglia, Italian Peninsula.
The silver-haired girl played the piano with her eyes closed. The atmosphere of the music was sometimes light and lively, and sometimes elegant and gentle. There was no dull part in the overall melody, as if it was telling a fairy tale story.
The young man behind her stood silently, listening in a trance. He did not dare to interrupt the girl's performance, for fear of disturbing her and ruining the harmonious melody.
When the song ended, the young man dared to speak: "Oh, my dear Lilith, what a beautiful and dreamy song! Forgive me, an ignorant fool, for never having heard of this song. Can you tell me its name?"
Lilith opened her eyes. There was no emotion in her amethyst-like pupils, but her facial expression was very gentle.
She replied: "Ah, my dear Adamus, the name of this piece is "To the Immaculate", so... I will say it was composed by me."
"'To the Immaculate'? Ah, what a wonderful name! I don't think even Eden could write such a beautiful piece of music, right?" Adams said from the bottom of his heart, "I'm afraid you are the only one who deserves the title of 'Immaculate'."
"No, dear Adamus, I... don't deserve to be called a flawless person." Lilith did not look back at Adamus.
Adams didn't agree with this, but since his fiancée said so herself, it was useless for him to insist, so he decided to change the subject: "It seems that Eden will come here to perform in a few days. Should we go and see it together?"
"Eden?" Lilith whispered the name and smiled softly, "Okay, that's perfect. I also want to ask her if she can give me some advice on this song."
Chapter 31: Unexpected Encounter
"Feng, have you been... concerned about Vincent's affairs during this period?" Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng who was silently doing shooting training.
In the past few days, Zhu Yufeng has increased his training volume a lot, and he communicates with them less and less.
Zhu Yufeng put down the sniper rifle in his hand, turned around to look at Alicia who was looking at him worriedly, and sighed softly: "Maybe..."
"That's not your fault at all, Brother Yufeng." Paduo said, "After all, Brother Yufeng, you didn't even know that you have a companion Honkai Beast..."
"Yeah, it shouldn't be my fault." Zhu Yufeng looked at Padu, "It shouldn't be... but, it was caused by me after all. Vincent's sacrifice was not meaningless, but it shouldn't have existed."
"But your current condition is really not right." Sakura said, "Excessive training will not do you any good at all, Feng."
Zhu Yufeng was silent. He had been feeling that there was something he hadn't figured out these past few days, and had been thinking about this matter. He felt that he should be able to do better, but the largest-scale destruction since his rebirth was caused by him.
He began to feel a little confused, and suddenly felt as if he was a little autistic.
But he himself didn't know the reason, so he had to increase the amount of training and try to let training fill his time. As long as he trained more, he wouldn't have to think so much.
But this is not a solution... Alicia and the others are starting to worry, which means that something is wrong with their current situation.
Seeing the tangled expression on Zhu Yufeng's face, Alicia suggested: "Since we don't have anything to do recently, why don't we go to see Eden's concert? I haven't seen Eden for a long time~"
"Sister Eden, are there any performances recently?" Padu tilted her head.
"Hmm... Let me see. Yes, it is in Puglia, on the Italian peninsula."
"Puglia?"
Zhu Yufeng's expression became very strange at this moment.
Alicia was confused: "What's wrong? Is there a problem, Feng?"
Zhu Yufeng was silent for a while before he spoke: "That's Lilith's hometown..."
Alicia: "..."
Does this count as shooting oneself in the foot?
Padu: "..."
Li...Sister Lilith’s hometown?
Ying showed a thoughtful expression. If they couldn't enlighten Feng, then could Lilith do it? But if Lilith wasn't reborn, wouldn't it be bad to go find her presumptuously? No... When she thought of Feng going to find Lilith, her heart began to feel heavy again.
Zhu Yufeng rubbed his brows and said, "I'm really not in a good state recently. If it's Eden's song... maybe it can help me. After all, music can always touch people's hearts the most."
"Then, Brother Yufeng, don't you plan to go find Sister Lilith?" Paduo asked cautiously.
"No, I don't have such plans." Zhu Yufeng replied, "I only plan to go and see Eden's performance. There is no need to see Lilith right now..."
To be honest, he probably didn't dare to meet Lilith. After all, the person he felt most guilty about in his previous life was Lilith, and until now he didn't know how to face Lilith.
So he chose to escape, just like he had avoided Alicia in his previous life.
As long as you don’t go to see it, you won’t think too much about it.
What's more... not to mention whether she has any memory of her previous life, her fiancé is not dead yet, what did he do in the past? To cause trouble for her?
But since the topic has been diverted from his own condition, it is easier to change the topic. Zhu Yufeng continued, "Speaking of which, Kosmo seems to be avoiding Desdobia these days?"
"Indeed... Sister Daisy didn't seem dissatisfied. She told me that Amo was like that." Paduo said.
"Why don't we invite Kosmo and Destobia to go with us this time?" Alicia suggested. "Well, I remember Kevin and Su are also fans of Eden, so let's invite them too."
"That's settled then. I'll go find a way to ask Hen to arrange a great viewing spot for us. I also have to dress up nicely. I can't just go to see my good Eden like this~" Alicia said and left. "Well, I haven't contacted Eden for such a long time since my rebirth. Eden won't blame me, right?"
Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. In order to ensure that the information about the Fire Moth was not leaked, no one was allowed to contact the outside world at will.
Just like this time when they were preparing to participate in Eden's performance, each of them needed to write a letter of commitment to the top management of Fire Moth and wait for their approval.
Although Zhu Yufeng always felt that the letter of commitment was just a formality.
Since Mebius and Velvet are considered dangerous elements by the top management, they cannot leave the Fire Moth at will not because they are afraid of leaking secrets, but for the safety of others.
So this time, the two of them probably won't be able to leave, and whether they are interested in this performance is another matter.
The approval from the top management came quickly, and Hen also helped to get tickets for the show. The group immediately packed their luggage and boarded the plane to Puglia.
Kevin originally wanted to bring Mei with him, but Mei insisted on dragging Mebius along to discuss the matter of the space-time dragon, so he had to give up.
As for Qianjie, no one expected him to appreciate any music. Until now, he is still going on missions to kill the Honkai beasts.
Anyway, fighting is his daily routine for him.
After arriving in Puglia, Alicia ran backstage to find Eden before the performance.
Seeing Alicia coming to see him, Eden was also a little surprised: "Ally, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to listen to my good Eden sing~ I haven't seen you for such a long time, you won't be mad at me, right?" Alicia smiled playfully, "I'm telling you, I brought Feng with me this time."
"Feng?" Eden was stunned, then smiled, "Have you... resolved the rift?"
“Hmm…” Alicia’s pretty eyebrows drooped. “Although it was resolved, Feng’s mind is now filled with fighting the Honkai.”
"If it's him, then that's indeed the case." Eden smiled helplessly, "Ellie, resolving the estrangement is naturally the first step to repairing the relationship. You don't have to rush."
Alicia curled her lips: "But Kevin encourages Feng to find Lilith every day whenever he has the chance."
"Kevin?" Eden narrowed his eyes and consoled her, "Ellie, don't be discouraged. You have to believe that the connection between you and Feng is not that distant. On the contrary, Feng may actually understand you better than I do."
Alicia said with some distress: "You think so too, right? Although I did find that he seemed to know me very well when I talked with Feng Chang before, but... I don't know him well enough."
"It's okay, Ellie," Eden said. "There's still a lot of time, isn't there?"
Alicia nodded, smiled again, stepped forward and hugged Eden: "Well, you are really my good Eden~ I feel like I have infinite confidence again!"
"Miss Eden, the son of the Lancourt family and his fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Atagina family, want to see you." The agent's voice came from outside the door, "Are you free now?"
Atagina?
Alicia's body froze. This last name... couldn't it be Lilith? Wait, the fiancée of the young master of the Lancourt family? Thanks to Kevin, she really had some PTSD now.
If there is a fiancé, it shouldn't be Lilith.
After all, Lilith never mentioned that she had a fiancé.
Eden also showed a surprised expression. She knew more than Alicia. In her previous life, she had heard that Lilith Atagina had outstanding musical talent. This time, it should be Lilith herself. So did she also have memories? But she had never heard of her fiancé.
"Let them in," Eden said.
The door opened, and a sunny blond boy and a silver-haired girl walked into the lounge one after another.
Alicia's pupils shrank slightly, but she quickly restored her expression to normal. She was sure it was Lilith.
The blond boy took the lead and bowed slightly, then said, "Adams Lancourt, thank you very much, Miss Eden, for taking the time to meet with me and my fiancée even though you were meeting your friends today. Thank you very much."
Lilith's gaze lingered on Alicia for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Lilith Atagina, nice to meet you. Miss Eden is indeed as elegant and generous as in the poster. I didn't expect Miss Eden's friend to be so beautiful. Even I feel a little ashamed of myself."
Eden smiled and replied, "Miss Lilith, you are too kind. Your beauty is as stunning as the bright moon. Please sit down, Miss Lilith and Mr. Adams. I wonder what you two want to see me about today?"
Adamus and Lilith sat down one after another. Although they sat on the same sofa, Alicia still found that Lilith deliberately controlled the distance between herself and Adams when she sat down.
Could it be that... Lilith actually doesn't like her fiancé? No wonder she never mentioned Adams after joining the Fire Moth.
"It's like this, I wrote a song myself, but I always feel that there is something dissonant about it, so I hope Miss Eden can give me some advice." Lilith's voice was soft, which surprised Alicia and Eden again, because in their memory, Lilith had never spoken like this before.
She spoke in such a soft and gentle way... Was she really the Lilith they knew?
Then Lilith took out a stack of drafts from her bag and handed them to Eden. Eden took Lilith's draft and read it carefully.
Lilith turned her gaze to Alicia and said softly, "I never asked your name before. I wonder if you can tell me your name?"
Alicia was stunned, mainly because the Lilith in front of her was too different from the Lilith in her impression, and she was a little bit unable to adapt, but she still smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Alicia, I'm very happy to meet you. Besides, we are all beautiful girls, so there is no need to use honorifics~"
"Ah, so that means I can be your friend?" Lilith's voice was filled with surprise. "Alisaia... I remember this name. Is this the name of the Eternal Paradise in the story? It sounds really nice..."
This woman really can do it! Alicia thought so. She could see and feel that Lilith said this from the bottom of her heart.
It made her feel a little embarrassed.
She also replied enthusiastically: "It sounds nice, right? I came up with this name myself. Of course, I also like to be friends with beautiful girls~"
"Thank you so much." Lilith reached into her bag and took out an exquisite hairpin. "As a token of our friendship, I want to give this to you."
Adams was a little surprised: "Lilith, I remember that was your favorite hairpin, right?"
Lilith smiled and replied: "It's okay, Adams. After all, I really like Miss Alicia..."
Adams said nothing more.
Alicia was even more surprised, but in order to respond to Lilith's kindness, she reached into the bag she brought with her, used Honkai energy to create a crystal flower and took it out: "Sorry, I didn't bring anything as a souvenir today. You won't mind this crystal flower, right?"
Lilith's smile became even brighter: "No, I like it very much. Thank you, Miss Alicia."
Alicia smiled and said, "We are all friends now, so there is no need for such honorifics."
While the two girls were talking, Eden had finished reading all the music scores and exchanged them with Lilith: "Ms. Lilith, what do you want to express in this piece of music? Although the overall melody is low, it is not sad. The whole piece is full of loneliness and struggle. This piece of music...if there is anything I must say, it is probably these few places. Maybe the pitch needs to be lowered a bit."
Adams was even more confused. Low? Lonely? Was the song Miss Eden was talking about the same as the one he had heard Lilith play before?
