I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

In a trance, Ji Zi took another sip of the red wine in the glass and then laughed.

“It really tastes a lot better.”

After her inner thoughts were confirmed, Ji Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's no need to hide anything anymore."

Thinking of this, Ji Zi turned around and asked Ye Ming:

"No matter what I asked you before, you refused to answer."

"At that time, you wanted me to focus on you instead of thinking about those sad things, right?"

Ye Ming was startled at first, and then said ashamedly:

"Did you find out..."

Ji Zi asked: "I want to know, if your strategy is very effective, what are you going to do next?"

“Very effective?”

"Well...right now, my mind is full of things about you."

There was a soft light of fondness in Ji Zi's autumn-water eyes.

"Today when I went to the university to work on my thesis, my advisor said to me: I'm sorry about your father's situation."

"I was stunned at that moment. The sadness that I thought would come up was not as strong as I imagined."

"I miss my father very much, there is no doubt about that. I want to see him again and say goodbye to him properly..."

Ji Zi took Ye Ming's hand, put it on her cheek, and then said:

"But I want to see you more."

These six words were the answer Ji Zi came up with after repeated consideration in her heart.

"Now that your goal has been achieved, isn't it time to move on to the next step?"

351. You are my whole miracle

"Now that your goal has been achieved, isn't it time to move on to the next step?"

"..."

Ye Ming was very relieved when he heard Ji Zi say that she would no longer be obsessed with the past and would no longer feel sad because of losing anything.

Without her obsession, Ji Zi would not have chosen to become a Valkyrie, and the same is true for Ye Ming.

But now, his activities at this point in time have reached their limit, and soon, Ye Ming will have to leave.

"I……"

However, when Ye Ming heard Ji Zi's confession to him, he became very nervous again.

He was not a wooden man like Fu Hua, so he could naturally feel Ji Zi's reluctance.

Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Ye Ming didn't know how to tell her that he was leaving.

"It doesn't seem like it's anything to be happy about, is it?"

The light in Jizi's pupils dimmed slightly, but did not go out.

She was still smiling, but her smile contained less anticipation and excitement, and more tenderness and understanding.

"I need to be away for a while... maybe a long time..."

"..."

Ji Zi thought she could accept everything Ye Ming said calmly, but when she heard the news of their separation, she still felt a dull pain in her heart.

I saw her unconsciously pressing her hands on her chest, and then gently adjusting her breathing.

"sorry, I……"

"It's ok."

"Ok?"

Ye Ming was about to comfort Ji Zi, but found that the other party did not show any sign of being unacceptable.

"Surprised?"

Ji Zi held Ye Ming's face as if she was holding her most precious treasure.

“This is an incredible time, it’s like a dream.”

"But I know that when I wake up from the dream, I have to keep moving forward."

Ji Zi's tone was full of attachment, and her low voice was sentimental, but what she expressed was all the strength she learned from Ye Ming.

"It was you who helped me wake up from the nightmare and let me know that everything will pass and everything will change."

"Even if your departure will take away my beautiful dreams, I am not afraid..."

"Because you once told me that the road ahead is longer than the road to the past."

Ji Zi's affectionate confession to Ye Ming touched the DNA of all the audience, and their thoughts immediately returned to Ji Zi and Kiana's final farewell before the fire burned forever.

[That’s why at that time, Himeko told Kiana that change is the most powerful force in the world]

[Don’t be afraid to say goodbye. Saying goodbye to the past is to move towards the future.]

[It turns out that these are Ji Zi’s personal insights]

"Although I am reluctant to leave you, but in the future... we will definitely have the chance to meet again."

The initial hope for the future is Ji Zi's final strength.

Unable to remain reserved any longer, she moved closer to Ye Ming so that she could hear his heartbeat and feel his body temperature.

"You proved to me that all sorrows will pass."

Tears slid down Jizi's face and flowed from their lips.

"You told me that happiness will come quietly in the future."

Jizi closed her eyes and devoted herself to this first and last kiss.

At that moment, countless scenes flashed back, from their first encounter to the time they spent in Saint Freya...

From the fire, to the time they spent together, and even their future reunion on the battlefield...

That was Ji Zi's most precious memory and also Ye Ming's loneliest salvation.

Everything about the two of them was shown on the screen, and at the same time, Ji Zi's affectionate monologue could be heard:

"Ye Ming... for me..."

In an instant, all the scenes flashed back, and on the screen illuminated by the only light, only a line of Ji Zi's inner voice remained:

——"You are my whole miracle."

As the fiery red text slowly faded away, everyone felt that the video had ended there.

With tears in their eyes, they were about to fiddle with their fingers to express their feelings and insights.

But at this moment, continuous and powerful piano sounds suddenly rang out.

That was the animated short film that Ji Zi and the UP host had negotiated before...to be placed at the end of the story.

···········

(The effect is even better when taken with Hiroyuki Sawano's "Tranquility")

In the center of the picture, Ye Ming was standing in a dark space.

With the accompaniment of the piano, the woman's voice gradually became louder:

It only takes one lone soul

Ye Ming, who is walking alone in the corridor of time, is exactly the person described in the lyrics.

It only takes one in a thousand

The picture kept zooming in until a determined look could be seen in his eyes from a close-up.

The absence of fear in your eyes

Suddenly, against the same background, the character at the center of the picture switched to the young little Ye Ming.

As children we learn it's wrong

to put out the light of another

At that time, his eyes were full of longing, and the way he stretched out his hand...

It seems that he wants to get closer to the heroes who are forging ahead in the darkness.

Our innocence lost over time

Immediately afterwards, Little Ye Ming turned back into Big Ye Ming with the same action.

He was still stretching out his hand, but on the other side of the screen, it was Ji Zi who fell into the imaginary space.

The music gradually became soothing and sentimental, and Ye Ming, who lost Ji Zi, also realized that he was not strong.

As Ye Ming stepped into the corridor of time and began to save Ji Zi's life, the originally faint music suddenly reached a climax.

I want to know the end and you never ever need to fight

(I want to reach the final ending, and you don't have to continue fighting)

All the audience suddenly realized that these lyrics were exactly what Ye Ming was thinking.

He didn't want Himeko to fight Honkai as a Valkyrie, so he saved her broken heart from the fire.

But you're fighting everyday

And I don't know when your light will go out

But Ye Ming didn't know that because of her admiration for him, Ji Zi still chose to become a Valkyrie.

The source of her decision was the night when Ye Ming embraced her.

Innocent crying child

The heart of your fight

At that time, the young Ji Zi was crying bitterly in Ye Ming's arms.

As the scene changed, it turned into Kiana crying in Himeko's arms.

Same composition, different time and space...

For them, this is a reason to swing the sword against fate.

352. The person you first kissed was not someone else, but me_____!

After that, the music went into a cycle again.

The accompanying images show everything Ye Ming has experienced along the way.

At the end of the short film, the scene froze on Ji Zi and Ye Ming's last reunion.

The close-up shot clearly shows the two people's clasped fingers.

Then, a line of subtitles appeared in the center of the screen. It was the title of the video:

——"I am here and I have never left."

[Ending, it’s a wonderful world with Ye Ming]

[This time, Jibao didn’t lie to us, it’s really candy]

[I feel much better after watching it]

[There is dog food and touching moments, perfect for detoxification]

[The health bar that was emptied by the eternal burning of firewood has been restored by at least half]

[“You are all my miracles”]

If we put aside the entire plot of Chapter 25 and the Eternal Flame, this video seems to be just a supplement and expansion of previous works.

But it was because of the farewell between Jizi and Kiana in Chapter 25, and the severing of the ship by the eternally burning Xinyan Sword, that everyone realized...

Every scene in the video corresponds to the players' sad moments.
