The Final Story of Miss Weird
Page 248
Even more unbelievable than Cen Xiangyun is Eve.
Cen Xiangyun had at least crossed the line and was prepared for this sudden change, but Eve was different. She had never seen such a situation and had not reached the point where she could recognize power.
In the past, when something beyond her cognition happened, it would put an unbearable burden on her mind.
But I don’t have that now.
Eve stood in the endless stream of people. Everything around her was strange yet familiar, making her feel at a loss, but she showed no signs of losing control.
“Is this Victoria?”
They looked up at each other and saw the extremely shocked look in each other's eyes.
"Xiangyun, what is our situation now?"
Eve stared at Victoria, whose surroundings were clearly different from her perception, and couldn't help swallowing.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Cen Xiangyun said in a deep voice,
"I'm afraid something serious has happened."
Their last memory, of course, was the moment they were "killed" by Alisa. When they fell into a deep sleep due to the influence of the puppet's ability, they had no memory at all.
So from the perspectives of Cen Xiangyun, Eve, and a group of low-level awakeners, it was only a moment of trance before the whole world changed drastically.
After all, low-level awakeners like Cen Xiangyun who have crossed the boundaries are a minority. Most of the awakeners react similarly to Eve, and are startled by everything they see in this particularly unfamiliar Victoria.
"The current time is around 1760." Cen Xiangyun waved the newspaper in her hand and said softly, "The beginning of a social change."
The newspaper described the beginning of a new era in a very exciting way, and also reported in the corners of the newspaper some terrible and strange phenomena that had occurred in recent times.
Just like every time the boundaries collapse, Victoria is back in time again.
But this time in the past...
But something was not right.
Cen Xiangyun, who had some knowledge of boundaries, knew that the cycle of the Victorian boundary era was only three hundred years.
No matter how it collapses or develops, it cannot escape the three hundred years of time.
But now, she had inexplicably escaped from this endless cycle of three hundred years. Even though she didn't know what this meant, she knew it couldn't be a small matter.
"Oh my god! A hundred years ago! So...are we dead now? Or...not dead?"
Eve was startled when she heard that. She felt around, but couldn't find any missing limbs or anything, so she could only scratch the back of her head.
At that time, Alyssa knew how to control her actions and did not cause much pain, so they did not have a very deep impression of the memory of being "killed".
I feel like I was killed, but I'm not sure...
"It could also be rebirth, like returning to the past with memories from the future. This is how the stories of cool novels all unfold."
Cen Xiangyun looked around but did not see Lu Manqing who was acting with them at the time, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
These few words of hers should be Lu Manqing's lines. This girl just likes to say things that are hard to understand.
But soon, Eve calmed down and said,
"Forget it, let's go back to the company's headquarters first."
No matter what happens, there will be no situation that the "company" cannot handle. This is the consensus of all "company" employees.
The powerful board of directors is always able to take action at the critical moment to solve all problems. No matter whether it is facing a "high-risk and weird" disaster or cruel "pioneers", they have never been able to win at the hands of the directors.
Every time, “the company” has the last laugh.
"...Um."
Cen Xiangyun nodded slightly, she thought so too.
Although Cen Xiangyun had complaints about some of the "company's" practices, this was the only point that needed no doubt.
However, as they were heading towards the "company" headquarters following the location in their memory, they discovered something else.
Some awakened people who were in similar situations as them suddenly cried out in shock, their words filled with fear and disbelief, which attracted the attention of passers-by. Even Cen Xiangyun and Eve couldn't help but stop.
"My power..."
"No, that's not right...something's wrong here..."
"......"
These awakened ones were the first to sense other changes in Victoria. Apart from shock, they were more panicked and worried.
Soon, Cen Xiangyun and Eve also discovered the problem.
"Wait, my ability..."
Cen Xiangyun wanted to use her "element" path ability as usual to create an ice cone, but found that she could only create a small ice ball the size of a fingernail.
The same was true for Eve. She was usually known for her physical fitness, but after running just a few steps, she was already out of breath and gradually losing her strength.
A little verification would reveal that their abilities had declined significantly. Not only that, the more they were used, the more severe the decline became.
Cen Xiangyun can still use some of her abilities. Eve usually carries with her a "judgment" ability to enhance her physical fitness so that she can carry some heavy weapons.
Eve is now completely unable to use any of her abilities. She can't even lift her most commonly used iron fist, let alone other overweight weapons.
She is equivalent to a slightly stronger adult running while carrying hundreds of kilograms of objects. The result is predictable.
This situation not only occurred between Cen Xiangyun and Eve, but also occurred to all the awakened people.
"Difficult, is it another strange disaster?"
Eve panted and said that she was really confused now. Everything she had experienced was beyond her understanding.
If this is a disaster that covers the entire Victoria and no awakened person can resist it, then one can imagine what will happen next.
"We must go to the company's headquarters immediately!" Cen Xiangyun suppressed the uneasy emotions in her heart. She didn't dare to delay any longer.
Eve had no choice but to hide all her equipment in a secret corner, and then hurried towards their destination.
At the same time, there are hundreds of awakened people who are in panic and confusion, and habitually seek help from the "company" headquarters that can solve all problems.
At this time, a light drizzle finally began to fall from the dark and deep sky. The faint smell of tobacco oil mixed with some indescribable stench spread with the rain.
In this light breeze and drizzle, pedestrians walked even more hurriedly and soon they disappeared. Only two ignored figures were left in the empty street.
Su Wan stood beside Luo Ling holding an umbrella, her gentle gaze always fixed on her sister.
Luo Ling watched Cen Xiangyun and Eve go away until their backs completely disappeared.
Standing here, Luo Ling could clearly sense what changes had taken place in Victoria, the place of origin.
"It's not just them. All awakened people have lost their abilities." Luo Ling said softly, "No matter how powerful they were before, they can't escape this result."
To be more precise, the source of power of all awakened ones has disappeared.
The strange apostle, or the one chosen by God and favored by God, once put forward a statement that made the awakened ones sneer.
The so-called awakened ones are nothing more than thieves who steal the power of God.
Even the "Pioneers" agree with this statement, believing that only those who are weird in sequence are truly qualified to share the power of the gods.
Although Luo Ling was skeptical about this statement before, in the end he was more skeptical.
It was not until now that Luo Ling realized that perhaps this was the real truth.
At this moment, Victoria, which seems to have returned to peace and tranquility, is facing an unprecedented disaster.
Compared with this, everything that happened before seems like a dream.
Now, this is the cruel reality after waking up.
The philosopher once said that he used "Traveler" to see the new world.
All the dead were resurrected, and all the awakened ones lost their abilities, no longer suffering from "confusion".
This is why philosophers are so confident that their plans will succeed, even if they sacrifice themselves in the end.
Based on what the "traveler" saw and heard, the philosopher made every effort and finally created a new world belonging to the "other side" - "this life" at the time of "destiny", but it only lasted for a few minutes before it was completely shattered.
The answer is simple.
Because the new world that the philosopher sees is not created by him, but exists now.
Victoria today is almost exactly what the philosopher expected.
It's just that there's a little difference.
There will indeed be no awakened ones, but there will still be strange existences.
The source of the awakened one's power has dissipated, but the strange source of power is still there.
The reason why the awakened ones can still use their abilities to some extent is because there is only a little bit of power left in themselves.
These awakened ones, or those who were once awakened, have the talent to use special abilities, but because they have lost the source of their abilities, they can only become "dragon-slaying techniques".
There is only one type of person who can be an exception, the awakened one on the weird side, whose abilities are more inclined towards the weird side rather than the orderly side.
After a brief period of discomfort, this type of awakened person will gradually tend to take the weird path, but what the final outcome will be is still unknown.
But the most serious problem is that the strange power will not be diminished.
Even though the "end of the world" has not yet arrived, the usual bizarre disasters that were only of a controllable scale are almost a disaster for the people of Victoria.
"This is a complete failure. The end is coming, but the ascension is no longer here."
"I am the final mortal, the destroyer of worlds."
Luo Ling softly recited these last words filled with despair.
The source of power for all awakened ones is "transformation".
"Metamorphosis" borrowed the power of the other six gods, providing a path for awakening for everyone in the world, guiding them to gain enough power to preserve themselves and fight against "Doomsday".
But the "ascended" god was gradually contaminated by "doomsday", and ultimately unwilling to become the destroyer of the world, he chose self-destruction.
The three hundred year cycle that originated in Victoria, the "origin of the disaster", is the last remaining time of "transformation". He tried his best to delay the arrival of despair in this way.
And now, for Victoria, whose cycle has been completely broken, the six order-side paths brought about by "ascension" have dissipated, leaving only the six strange side paths brought about by "doomsday".
Or...these strange side paths are the true appearance of divine power.
The old man was right. He tried his best to stay in the three hundred year cycle because at least humans in the cycle could still hold the power to fight against the weirdness in their hands.
The philosopher is also right. He wants to completely break free from the cycle that ends in destruction, to escape from the doomed despair and move towards a new world of hope.
But, they were all wrong.
The old man paid such a great sacrifice, exchanging part of his destruction for part of his survival, but in the end he could only lose little by little until Victoria and everything of humanity were completely destroyed.
The philosophers had inappropriate expectations and pursuits for the new world, which made the entire Victoria see ahead of time and lead to the worst outcome today.
The reason they all failed is simple.
This is not a disaster that humans can contend with.
Even the "transformation" can only leave behind a tombstone and His tears. No matter how hard He tries, He can only let this world He loves survive for a short while before the coming of "Doomsday", but it is as short as morning dew.
“The so-called collapse of boundaries and regression of times are all aimed at avoiding the coming of the “end of the world”.”
"The so-called boundary annihilation is because there is no longer any power to stop the boundary of "Doomsday" and we can only accept the end of destruction."
"The so-called three hundred-year cycle, seemingly a "disorder" that has brought endless suffering, is actually the last kindness of "Transformation" before its demise."
"From now on, there will be no more boundary collapses, and no more three hundred years of restrictions. All disasters will only bring about the irreversible destruction of boundaries."
"Victoria...has forever lost the chance given by the benevolent gods, and can only face the desperate end alone."
Luo Ling raised his head slightly and saw subtle changes in the sky.
Countless eyes, some greedy, some curious, some covetous, some pitying, are focused on this place.
From now on, Victoria, the "place where the incident originated", is officially open to the public.
