Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Perhaps the messenger's reference to protection is a hint that Flowing Light Lord isn't the culprit for sealing your memory. He intervened to protect you from being harmed by the sealed memory."

"Although I still didn't find out about San Yue Qi's past this time, I did find a clue about Liu Guang Yi Ting, so it's not all in vain. Little San Yue is still quite optimistic about this. After all, there's still a long way to go, and she'll always have the opportunity to continue exploring her past."

-

A certain scientific railgun.

The setting sun dyed the sky an orange-red, and the evening breeze blew through the hair of both of them. Misaka Mikoto leaned against the railing, her fingertips unconsciously stroking a small coin.

"Yiting's people are really tight-lipped. They'd rather forcibly cut off her connection to the Qiongguan Formation than reveal even a sliver of information." Misaka Mikoto snorted slightly in dissatisfaction. "In the end, we still didn't get any useful information."

"When faced with those unspeakable things, the best way is to remain silent." Touma glanced at her. "From the attitude of the people in Yiting regarding this matter alone, it's not difficult to infer the weight of San Yueqi's past memories."

"...Even the Star God wants to get involved. It seems that San Yueqi's memories are quite involved."

"Well, speaking of which, I do have a question." Misaka Mikoto looked at the Dharma Eye on Fu Xuan's forehead on the light screen. "Fu Xuan and the Qiongguan Formation were unable to help Sanyueqi find his past, and were intercepted by Yiting's people. Is there a possibility... that Fu Xuan was going in the wrong direction and shouldn't have started with 'memories' from the beginning?"

"What do you mean?" Kamijou Touma didn't understand for a moment.

Misaka Mikoto simply changed the question: "'March Seven's past hides a secret that even the Star Gods must intervene' - who do you think is most likely to be interested in this topic right now?"

"Hmm..." Touma lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of someone, "Ms. Kureta?"

"Well, scientists are a group of monsters materialized by curiosity. She will definitely be interested." Misaka Mikoto nodded and looked at the vague outline of Academy City in the distance.

"The Star God of Wisdom, Boshizun, theoretically possesses information about the entire universe and can understand everything and answer all questions. If Ms. Black Tower, the Envoy of Wisdom, were to raise San Yueqi's confusion with Boshizun, do you think he would provide an answer?"

-

"Shortly after Xinghe Sanyueqi returned to the train, he found a letter from Xianzhou."

"The letter contained phrases like 'Hanging Upside Down in the Ancient Sea' and 'Revisiting an Old Place'. It must have been addressed to Dan Heng. After Xing handed the letter to him, Dan Heng discovered that it had no signature and didn't even mention the time and place of their meeting."

"Faced with such a strange letter, Dan Heng sent Xing away and used the Cloud Chant technique on him alone. Sure enough... the original handwriting on the letter disappeared, replaced by another line of ink—"

"There are five names for each person, and three prices for each person."

"Dan Heng immediately realized that something was wrong and decided to go to the Shen Ce Mansion to get some clues."

"..."

"The scene changes to the Shen Ce Mansion."

Jing Liu looked around at the group of Cloud Riders, who were acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy. He smiled coldly, "After being away from Luofu for so long, the murderous aura in this mansion has not diminished, but has instead increased. This is quite comforting."

"Hearing the tone of her words, Yan Qing thought she was going to draw her sword and attack, so he immediately stepped forward and placed his hand on the hilt."

"Oh, just saying. No need to be so serious, little brother. I'm just reminiscing about the old days."

-

The Emiya family.

"I thought I could witness her amazing skills again, but what a pity..."

Sasaki Kojiro shook his head regretfully. Although his three-foot-long "monogankan" (monogan gan) was vastly different from the Kagami-ryu sword, he could still learn a thing or two from the subtleties of the sword technique.

After seeing Jingliu's swordsmanship of cutting through the moonlight, he was completely absorbed in the memories of her moves. Now that he had the opportunity to witness her swordsmanship again, Sasaki Kojiro was more excited than anyone else.

"The price of witnessing this divine skill is the lives of everyone here, okay?"

Lancer shook the beer in his can. "If this woman really decides to attack, I'm afraid she'll be able to kill everyone except Yan Qing in an instant, right? I'm afraid only this kid can barely block a few of her attacks, but if Jing Liu really intends to kill her... he won't be able to leave the Shen Ce Mansion."

Lancer said, a look of regret on his face. "I wanted to see more of Dan Heng's moves, but after he transformed, he didn't even use a gun for close combat. He was just playing with a bead the whole time. Even though that thing is very powerful, I still want to see him spar with Jingliu with a gun."

"...I think you want Dan Heng to die?"

Saber glared at Lancer who was enjoying watching the fun. She recalled the battle between Dan Heng and Ren. Although Dan Heng resisted the whole time and had no intention of fighting, it was obvious that the Dragon Lord form was the peak of his strength.

Fighting against Jingliu with just a stick... It feels like forcibly destroying 70% of one's strength and seeking death.

-

"As we were talking, Dan Heng slowly walked in, saying he wanted to see the general. However... the tense atmosphere in the room made it a bit awkward."

"Qing Dian, who was standing by, whispered a reminder, wanting to ask if he still remembered the white-haired swordsman in front of him. Dan Heng was quite calm about this, saying 'I don't know him' and turning around to leave."

"Qing Tu stopped Dan Heng as he was about to leave and introduced him to the white-haired woman's past experiences and glorious achievements. However, when she talked about the past, her eyes couldn't help but dim. After all, no immortal seed can escape the demonic body."

"It is said that Lady Jingliu eventually went insane, went on a murderous rampage, and became a fugitive. Given her abilities, no one could possibly apprehend her. But for unknown reasons, she arrived in Luofu with a suspect disguised as a traveling merchant, declaring her intention to surrender..."

Chapter 209: No Trace Left by the Clouds (Part 2)

"The condition was that she be allowed one day of freedom before her trial, so she could travel to the Scaled Abyss to reunite with her old friends—and even more outrageous, Jing Yuan actually agreed!"

"The mission he entrusted us with before leaving was to accompany Jingliu on his last day in Luofu. You see, this isn't about receiving distinguished guests, but about escorting prisoners—"

Qingtu suddenly stopped talking. Like her, Danheng felt the air around him grow colder.

"Yinyue, you're here." Jingliu didn't turn around, but said calmly, "Since you're here, why don't you come up and chat with me?"

"…Or should I call you by your current name, Dan Heng?"

-

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

"Such a strong sense of oppression, this woman..."

In the Infinite Castle, the six ghost pupils of Kokushibo, the One of the Upper Moons, suddenly shrank. His fingers unconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, and his knuckles turned bluish-white due to excessive force.

The chill seemed to permeate from the light curtain, as if it was going to penetrate his entire body and freeze him. As far as he could remember, not even the thundering wrath of Lord Muzan had ever brought him such a chill.

He had seen her sword before, and Kokushibo thought he would no longer be afraid. However, even through the light curtain, just looking at that cold and arrogant figure... his skin instinctively tensed up, as if countless tiny blades were moving along his neck, ready to chop off his head at any time.

"……fear?"

No, it's more than that.

Although his heart was pounding and his ghost instinct was screaming wildly, deep in his soul, another almost twisted desire was surging.

"It's like seeing...her sword again."

The last time she drew her sword against Yan Qing, he had only glimpsed a flash of cold light as the sword's momentum hung in the air. But the trajectory of that sword strike still lingered in his mind—only that sword strike was the realm he was willing to reach, even if it meant transforming into a ghost and spending hundreds of years trying to reach.

"Mirror Mirror sighed, 'I thought Moon-Drinking Lord was gone forever. But returning to Luofu, I once again witnessed the magnificent sight of you parting the sea and drawing the tide. It felt like a lifetime ago.'"

Dan Heng didn't want to connect himself with his past life's Yinyue Jun, and he emphasized that he was a completely different person now. Jing Liu understood, but he couldn't help but wonder, "Your past sins are now absolved, and you're just a nameless traveler... But can one truly let go of the past?"

"If I'm guessing correctly, the dragon masters, reluctant to see the dragon lineage die out, wanted to revive the Moon-Drinking Lord. Therefore, they used some deceptive tactics during the scaly shedding punishment to deceive the world and turn you into this state."

"However, despite her absolute words, Jingliu had no intention of seeking justice from him. Now she was just a criminal, and all she wanted was to meet her old friend after not seeing him for a long time and fulfill the promise they made when they were deeply in love."

"And she openly admitted that the letter on the train was sent by her."

"..."

"At the same time, on the other side, in the Scaled Abyss."

"Rakshasa is being brought here by Jing Yuan for trial. He is quite happy to be tried in such a magnificent view."

"The star core descends, Jianmu revives, and the ferryman of the Tianbosi is replaced by someone else, whose true identity is the messenger of destruction."

Jing Yuan leisurely recounted his recent itinerary, concluding with a gentle smile: "You took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Prison, but did nothing. Now you claim responsibility for this astral catastrophe and confess your guilt."

"Strange, strange, your behavior is so unpredictable."

"Rakshasa only believed he was entrusted with delivering a token of trust, remaining completely unaware of the secrets behind Luofu. He did have a purpose in entering the Prison, but it now appears Luofu doesn't possess what he seeks. He pleaded guilty out of fear of punishment. After all... he's just a mere merchant."

"A mere merchant?" Jing Yuan couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head. "Mr. Luosha, you're joking. Do you need me to describe in detail what you did in Airong Castle and the various things you left behind in the Veil Star Region?"

"Or do you need me to say that difficult-to-pronounce name?"

-

Honkai Impact 3rd.

Inside the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Walter pushed his glasses, frowned deeply, and the look behind the lenses was complex and heavy.

"Tsk, although I thought Luosha was full of evil intentions, I didn't expect him to have done so many bad things. I... cough, I thought he had at least turned over a new leaf in the other world."

Tesla crossed his arms and snorted.

"Perhaps... this is the nature of this man." After a moment's silence, Walter said, "No matter which world he is in, he will walk a similar path."

"I think it's not difficult for us to guess the difficult-to-pronounce name that General Jing Yuan mentioned."

"...Otto Apokalis."

Tesla glanced at him sideways, then looked at Jing Yuan's wise expression on the light screen and reminded him, "You don't have to worry too much. Not to mention that you exist in the world inside the light screen, even if he really wants to do something bad, now that he has fallen into the hands of General Jing Yuan and the Immortal Boat Alliance, he will definitely not be able to do it."

"Yes, but I don't doubt General Jing Yuan."

Walter remained concerned. "I just think, given his style, being arrested must have been part of his plan. If he went to all this trouble, he must have done something extraordinary. This man... deserves even more interrogation at the Qiongguan Array than Kafka."

-

A hint of surprise flashed in Luosha's eyes. "...Oh? General Shen Ce's reputation is truly well-deserved."

Jing Yuan smiled faintly. "Same here. I'm glad I did some research beforehand, otherwise this conversation would have been a complete flop."

"Since the General feels something is fishy, ​​are you going to defend me and clear me of suspicion of the Star Core?"

Jing Yuan shook his head and said, "This matter is beyond my control. This is a serious crime involving the overthrow of the alliance. According to the law, you should be taken to the Xuling Immortal Boat to face a joint trial by the Ten Kings and the Seven Heavenly Generals, and be punished forever."

After hearing this, Luosha didn't show any sign of panic. She simply looked up at the magnificent scenery of the Scaled Abyss Realm, lowered her head and smiled, "I heard her say that hundreds of years ago, the Five Warriors of the Clouds gathered here for a feast."

"Rakshasa suddenly discussed the past of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, from Jingliu's stunning swordsmanship to Longzun's miraculous Cloud Chant, from the pilot Bai Heng's ingenious Star Raft techniques to Zhu Ming's skilled craftsman Ying Xing's forging prowess... and, finally, the brilliant strategic planning of General Jing Yuan."

"When the past events were brought up in Scaled Abyss, Jing Yuan unconsciously lowered his gaze, his expression solemn."

"The past scenes are still vivid in my mind, and the sounds of laughter and feasting are still ringing in my ears. Even Jing Yuan, who has experienced many things, can't help but feel a moment of sadness."

Chapter 210: No Trace Left by the Clouds (Part 3)

Attack on Titan.

The evening breeze lingered, gently stirring the orange bonfire, and the flames expanded and contracted in the night.

"The general's eyes... look very tired."

Mikasa clutched the scarf tightly around her neck, her face thick with worry. It was hard to imagine how General Jing Yuan had managed to survive these past few hundred years. In her memories, she saw the disintegrating Five Warriors of Yunshang; in reality, she faced mountains of paperwork, dealing with the Six Imperial Guards of Luofu, and wrangling with the Ten Kings and even the highest echelons of the Alliance...

No one can put themselves in Jing Yuan's shoes. If they did, they would probably be tortured to the point of going crazy...

"Speaking of which...the five brave warriors on the cloud back then, are they a bit similar to us now?" Alan on the side suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Eren... that's too unlucky, isn't it?" Armin glared at Eren in dissatisfaction. "And how is it similar? The Cloud Five eventually fell apart, but we won't! No matter what happens in the future, the three of us will be together, right?"

As he said that, the blond boy looked at her: "Mikasa, am I right?"

"Well……"

The evening breeze lingered, gently blowing the orange bonfire, and the flames stretched and retracted in the night, just like the thoughts of a young girl that she wanted to say but couldn't.

Mikasa's gaze crept up to Eren's profile.

As the firelight flickered, Alan's outline was coated with a layer of flowing gold, his eyebrows were stained with warm colors, but the bottom of his eyes were filled with shadows darker than the night... He seemed to have something on his mind, as if something heavy was pressing down on his shoulders.

A gust of wind blew, and the flames suddenly sank. The moment the light dimmed, Mikasa's gaze hastily moved away from his face.

"Well, we'll always be together... Alan."

-

"At the same time, inside the Shen Ce Mansion."

"Jingliu plans to revisit some of his old places, pour a glass of wine, and reminisce about the past."

"She insisted that Danheng accompany her, and he couldn't refuse. Accepting her letter meant accepting her invitation. Her attitude was very firm. Danheng didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he agreed."

"Yanqing chose Huixing Port as the first stop for Jingliu's revisit to this old place."

Arriving at the harbor, Yan Qing gazed at the starry sky and became curious about her purpose. However, Jing Liu immediately asked him a question: "Little brother, have you heard of the fox pilot Bai Heng?"

"The name Bai Heng sounded quite familiar to Yan Qing, but he couldn't quite place it. Dan Heng, standing beside him, felt a sense of daze—although the name was as unfamiliar as a passing breeze, for some reason, a voice carried within the wind."

"Let the noble Dragon Lord summon the clouds and rain to drown the enemy. We, the supporting characters, can just watch from the sky, right?"

“…!!”

Dan Heng suddenly opened his eyes. The fleeting sound pierced his heart like a needle.
