Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Do you need me to do anything?" Kevin tried hard to control his emotions.

"No need, just be prepared to join the team with the End. Also, are you still pushing forward the Stigmata plan?" Wang Xuanqiao glanced at the greatsword beside the throne.

"That's right." Kevin admitted frankly, "I have to be prepared for both situations."

"So you don't trust me? I understand that." Wang Xuanqiao smiled softly. "And that sword? I remember it was in Siegfried's hands before. Did you simply steal the weapon?"

"He is in our hands." Kevin said concisely.

"You'd better not abuse him, otherwise if Kiana gets obsessed with you, I won't care." Wang Xuanqiao took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw several unread messages from Kiana at a glance.

[Qimaomao: Manager, where have you been?]

[Qimaomao: Bronya said you and the World Serpent's boss left, and then she said you've taken down the World Serpent. So, is Destiny the only thing you haven't taken control of now?]

[Qimaomao: When Tianming also abandons his evil ways and joins the good, it will be time for us to counterattack Honkai!]

[Gaming otaku: Don't worry, you will definitely defeat Honkai.]

[Gaming geek: By the way, I know where your stinky dad is. Should I let the World Serpent release him now or leave him with your ancestors for a bit?]

Wang Xuanqiao thought about it and decided to rescue Kevin to avoid internal strife in the Kaslana family and ruin the harmony.

[Qimaomao: ???????????????????]

Kiana really had a lot of question marks popping up all at once.

[Qimaomao: Really?!? My stinky dad is in the world of snakes!? How is he doing now?!]

Wang Xuanqiao turned around and gave Kevin a cold look. "Boy, do you still want me to lie for you?"

Kevin also reacted immediately and started communicating to arrange Siegfried's affairs.

[Gaming geek: I'm not sure, but the World Serpent is currently managed by your ancestor Kevin, so he shouldn't embarrass his descendants.]

[Qimaomao: So Kevin is my ancestor??? In this river???]

[Gaming geek: This is very river-like. The Quantum Ocean is a water system, and the river is also a water system, so the Quantum Ocean = the river.]

[Qimaomao: ??? ??? ???]

[Qimaomao: Manager, what you said makes sense, but why do I feel like you're lying to me?]

[Gaming geek: Don’t lie to Collapse 3!]

[Qimaomao: That's not right! Manager, you're not one of the three strongest people!]

[Gaming geek: Nonsense, am I in Honkai Impact 3rd right now? So I’m in Honkai Impact 3rd too!]

[Gaming geek: Let's not talk about that for now, I have something else to do. If you're not in a hurry to see Siegfried, I'll let him stay with the World Serpent to train first. Don't lose to your dad when we fight the End Team.]

[Qimaomao: Then you can rest assured, Manager! I'm your teacher now, there's no way I'll lose!]

Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. This really was a good excuse for her to find. Now he might be involved in training Kiana.

However, before that, we have to take care of the matter of the paradise in the afterlife.

Wang Xuanqiao left the ancient castle of the World Serpent, or rather, left the refuge left by this former civilization.

He planned to search for information about the heroes directly from the game and online encyclopedias, such as where they met their end in life and what places they cherished most. Although he could ask them directly in the Paradise of the Past, or ask Kevin to cooperate with him, that was ultimately not fast enough.

After all, when it comes to text-based work, as long as you concentrate, you can collect the most information in the shortest time.

And this information will become a solid anchor for the heroes to return to the world.

In fact, Wang Xuanqiao hadn't told Kevin about his many other time-travel abilities back in the Quantum Ocean. The reason for this was that the manifestations and principles behind many of these abilities were so bizarre that they were even harder to accept than freezing, crossing boundaries, and extreme speed.

One of them is memory travel.

Entering a person's memory and returning to the past through that memory is a method almost exclusively limited to those beings naturally attuned to spiritual thought. It's more of a unique gift than an ability.

As a human being, Wang Xuanqiao naturally does not have this kind of power, and he does not need to manipulate time to achieve his goals.

For Wang Xuanqiao, this method actually only provides an idea—

The idea of life can transcend time!

As long as the thoughts of the heroes remaining in the world are clear enough, Wang Xuanqiao will have a way to use his thoughts to bring the memories in the paradise back to reality.

As for the first stop of the thirteen heroes, it is of course Alicia.

Wang Xuanqiao opened the file of Ailishiya compiled by netizens and read it carefully.

——The author has something to say——

The memory travel mentioned in this chapter is based on the prototype of the Idemon God in "Kamen Rider Den-O". Of course, I believe that similar settings are actually not uncommon in many literary works. If book friends have seen similar stories, please share them!

By the way, the Rememberers in Collapse of Iron seem to adopt a similar setting. This kind of memetic life is indeed full of fantasy.

Finally, we rescued Siegfried, and that was the end of his story. After all, who would want to watch a middle-aged man's idle life? Why don't we just look in the mirror? (Hey

Volume 056: : Echoes of the Past (Part )

In fact, when it comes down to it, Wang Xuanqiao clearly only wants to save Alicia.

But considering that someone like her would definitely not abandon her companions, after all, even Mobius who was malicious towards her, Alicia chose to tolerate her. Wang Xuanqiao knew that if he only saved her, the result would definitely be a rejection.

In Alicia's heart, the Thirteen Heroes must be an indivisible whole.

Then naturally, I can only accompany her in being willful.

A vast amount of text was scanned by his eyes and entered his brain. Wang Xuanqiao's image of her and them was rapidly forming in his mind. He even had a clear understanding of Grace, Kosmo, and Qianjie, whom he had yet to meet.

Even Mebius, who appeared to be malicious, could be seen to have a clear and pure heart after truly seeing his true heart.

No wonder Alicia tolerates her like that.

What surprised Wang Xuanqiao the most was a possibility hidden between the lines—

Alicia is not dead!

When Mei Raiden arrives at the Origin's Power in the original story, Alicia is there, welcoming her as she always has. Even within the Power, Alicia, the Herrscher of the Origin, remains privy to everything that happens in the Elysian Land.

So, what is Alicia's current situation?

Why was Mei Raiden able to see her again in the end?

Was that reunion a romantic singing and playing from the copywriter, or a true miracle of spiritual resonance?

Wang Xuanqiao thought quickly and selected a key piece of information from various clues - the Yingjie Seal.

If we ask why Mei Raiden was able to touch the Origin, it must be inseparable from her karmic connection with the Paradise of the Past. If we ask what Mei Raiden took away from the Paradise, then besides the stories and blessings of the heroes, it is naturally those mysterious engravings.

Those engravings actually represent the traces of the existence of every hero.

When the Stigmata Project began, the World Serpent called on all living things to create a 'Spiritual Adam'. Mei Raiden, who had the mark of a hero left in her body, received guidance and touched the miraculous origin...

Wang Xuanqiao suddenly understood.

Alicia is indeed not really dead!

In fact, he had already seen the real her before! In Kevin's memory.

"So he's not lost, but comes to say hello?" Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but smile, and the plan in his mind quickly became perfect.

It seemed we had to go to the ruins of the Final Battle first. Wang Xuanqiao raised his head and gazed at the moon, hidden in the daylight. Then, he lowered his body slightly, and then, with one foot, he stepped onto the moon!

The moon of the collapsed world is not as desolate as it is in reality. There are even human bases that are still operating. Compared with the Earth, which has long been filled with modern civilization, these relics of the former civilization give people the illusion of stepping back in time.

It was as if time was frozen at the moment after the Final Battle.

Wang Xuanqiao walked on the moon. The amount of gravity had nothing to do with him. His own biological force field enabled him to maintain his normal movement.

After a while, he found the remains left on the battlefield.

The first item was a coin with only half of it remaining, quietly stuck in the crevice of the stone, just like its owner who was sleeping there.

Wang Xuanqiao picked up the coin. Although the crack had cut off the pattern, it was still possible to see that the carving on it was a cat's paw pad.

It belongs to Padofelice, the thirteenth Fire Chaser, the Inscription of Empty Dreams.

Wang Xuanqiao held the coin in his palm, and the sound of yesterday, which ordinary people could not hear, quietly echoed in his ears.

[I don't know if I can succeed, but I will try my best! I can't let you regret your decision.]

The coldness in his palm suddenly warmed. Wang Xuanqiao opened his palm again. A petal had squeezed in there at some point and landed on the half coin.

As expected, Wang Xuanqiao raised the corner of his mouth.

Human thoughts can transcend time. Alissa, who left herself in their hearts, will also transcend time.

The second item was a broken harmonica. Although intact on the outside, it was completely rotten on the inside. It sat in a corner of the wreckage, as if it was deliberately avoiding people like its owner.

It belongs to Kosmo, the ninth of the Fire Chasing Heroes, the Inscription of the Dawn.

Wang Xuanqiao picked up the harmonica and gently stroked the marks carved on the body of the instrument with his fingers.

I look more like a villain, don't I?

As the echoes of the past faded, another petal found its way between Wang Xuanqiao's fingers. It seemed as if it had been attached to the harmonica from the very beginning, only now being discovered by chance.

The third item... no, rather, the third type of item, was a sword embedded in a whole block of lunar soil. Even after thousands of years, they still retained their sharpness from the day they were used in battle, as if waiting for their master to draw his sword once more.

They all come from Qianjie, the sixth of the Fire-Chasing Heroes, and the Inscription of Ao Mie.

Wang Xuanqiao walked into the layered sword formation, and was instantly struck by a fierce aura. However, he stood calmly within it, as if he were merely being blown by a gentle breeze.

At the tail end of the breeze, a petal floated over and was caught by Wang Xuanqiao.

【Come again! 】

The fourth object was a piece of debris that looked like it belonged to some kind of machine, or weapon. From the scattered parts, it might have been quite eye-catching when complete, but now it was completely silent.

But this didn't mean the end of it. Wang Xuanqiao could sense that even a fragment held a small surprise, left behind by its owner for someone unknown.

It must have been written by Vervi, the fifth of the Fire Chasers, the Inscription of the Spiral.

Wang Xuanqiao picked up the wreckage and triggered the mechanism left by Wei Erwei. A tiny arc of electricity burst out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, a bright little flower bloomed.

"Deng Deng——"

[This way, I won't argue with myself anymore, right?]

The small flower on the wreckage bloomed happily, and a petal fell from the pistil.

Wang Xuanqiao sighed softly and looked up at the Earth, which seemed to be suspended overhead. The remaining thoughts on the lunar battlefield had been exhausted by this point. The remaining thoughts would be like searching for a needle in a haystack on Earth.

Like Sakura, like Eden, like Mobius...

"This is such a tiring thing, Alicia." Wang Xuanqiao stood on the moon's surface, the petals in his hand already blown away by the wind. But he still held his palm, as if holding something invisible.

Perhaps, in this world, only Wang Xuanqiao could see that phantom—a broken crystal flower.

"But you'll help me, right?"

He looked at the crystal flower in his palm and raised it gently.

The next moment, the crystal flower began to dance, and a location suddenly imprinted itself in Wang Xuanqiao's mind. He grinned softly, and rushed towards Earth with the crystal flower.

St. Freya Academy, the Far East branch of the Mandate of Heaven that was closed after the branch leader Theresa rebelled against the Mandate of Heaven, welcomed a visitor for the first time.

Unlike the destruction Bronya had feared, Otto didn't actually cause any trouble for the academy. He simply sealed it off, as if to dismiss Theresa's rebellion.

Compared to the world-wide manhunt for Hyperion, here one can truly say that time is peaceful and tranquil.

Wang Xuanqiao walked alone through the vast academy, surrounded by a blanket of silence. He wasn't quite sure why Alicia had directed him to this place. Saint Freya's Academy was clearly a product of modern civilization, and had nothing to do with Yingjie.

Unless... Wang Xuanqiao suddenly thought of a possibility while thinking.

Unless Otto didn't even move that thing away, and kept it completely in St. Freya's Academy.
