AWB Chapter 178 The Two's Decision
Chapter 178 The Two's Decision
Himeko sighed as she spoke.
"One is desperately trying to distance himself from the relationship, while the other is desperately trying to get him to admit it."
"It's like two ropes twisted in opposite directions; they'll only get more tangled together."
Walter sighed, "But that's just Lu Li's personality."
"As long as it doesn't cross 'his bottom line,' his first reaction to trouble is to run away."
"But this time, he probably can't avoid the trouble."
"Yes," Himeko said with a wry smile, "Kafka alone was already enough of a headache for him, and now there's Bai Heng too..."
"And the most crucial thing is that it's not just the two of them. There's also the former Luofu Sword Master Jing Liu, whose whereabouts are unknown... At that time, the train will probably be packed with Lu Li's 'ex-girlfriends'."
As she spoke, Himeko couldn't help but laugh... though it was a bitter laugh.
However, more than joking, she was worried that these tangled past events might drag Lu Li into a vortex he didn't want to step into at all.
Compared to that kid, who just wants to be a lazy bum who does nothing but eat and wait to die... uh.
Although this is also a headache.
"Things will work themselves out," Walter comforted her. "At least for now, Miss Bai Heng's personality is much gentler than Kaffa's, so she shouldn't do anything outrageous..."
Thinking back to Bai Heng, who was "immersed" in his own world no matter how Lu Li explained it, he realized that Bai Heng had been lost in his own world.
Walter paused for a moment, then said, "...Probably."
"I hope so." Himeko took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste spreading across her tongue.
She looked out the window.
The Star Train is traversing a dazzling nebula, getting closer and closer to the celestial ship Luofu.
"What worries me more now is the situation in Luofu." Himeko put down her coffee cup, her expression turning serious.
"Although we don't know if Kafka's claim of a stellar core explosion is true or false, Bai Heng's sudden 'resurrection' is nothing short of a bombshell for Luofu."
Walter's expression also turned serious: "That's right."
"She was a heroine of the Battle of Shuhu seven hundred years ago, and her 'sacrifice' was the fuse that ignited the Rebellion of Drinking Moon and the beginning of the tragedy of the Five Heroes of the Clouds."
"Her very existence touches the most sensitive nerve in Luofu."
"Once her information is leaked, it will alarm the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Ship Alliance, the Heavenly Ship Bureau, and even the Ten Kings Bureau."
"At that time, our Star Train will be thrust into the spotlight."
"Not to mention Jing Yuan, who is now the General of Luofu, and Ying Xing and Jing Liu, whose whereabouts are unknown..." Himeko sighed, "They were all eyewitnesses back then."
"What Bai Heng and Lu Li's appearance means to them is anyone's guess."
"Especially Ying Xing." Walter's eyes deepened. "Bai Heng's death was the starting point of his paranoia and madness."
"If he knew Bai Heng was still alive..."
The consequences could be disastrous.
Although Kagami Ryu had given him a hundred deaths, it awakened his consciousness.
After all, nobody knows what he has become.
I know Bai Heng is still alive.
That man is likely to do something even crazier.
Let alone Yingxing, even Jingliu might...
After all, seven hundred years have passed.
For the people of Xianzhou who are over a thousand years old.
Seven hundred years...that's far too long.
Not to mention that Shizuka, which should have been in Kagami's hands, somehow ended up on Ariro-VI.
This suggests that the state of the mirror flow might also be...
After all, if she were conscious, she wouldn't have let go of Lu Li's only remaining relic in the world.
Lu Li and Dan Heng were reincarnated, Bai Heng was resurrected, and Jing Yuan became a general...
Four of the former "Five Heroes of the Clouds" may soon "reunite" in Luofu.
What will their trip to the Louvre be like?
Himeko and Welt fell silent.
The good news is that they may have gone mad, and the most worrying ones, Yingxing and Jingliu, are nowhere to be found and are no longer in Luofu.
Otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to settle down and let March 7th and his group go out to explore.
"In any case, we must keep Bai Heng's identity a strict secret once we arrive in Luofu," Himeko decided. "We must not expose her to the public eye until we have a clear understanding of everything."
"I agree," Walter nodded, "but... the truth will eventually come out."
"We can't hide her on the train forever."
"And most importantly, she probably wants to return to Luofu on this trip."
"I know," Himeko sighed. "That's why we're going to Luofu."
"On one hand, we need to resolve the Star Core crisis; on the other hand... it's also time to unravel these complex and intertwined past events."
"And Lu Li... he is the key to unraveling all of this."
Walter's gaze passed through the car window, and he seemed to see the young man who was hiding in the room pretending to be dead.
"That child may say he doesn't want to get involved, but his heart is softer than anyone else's." Himeko smiled. "Whether it's Kaffa, Bai Heng, or maybe even Jing Liu later..."
"Don't let his complaints about being a hassle fool you; when you really need him, he's more reliable than anyone else."
"Like... in the sky."
"Yes," Walter agreed, "He just needs a little time to adjust."
"After all, anyone who is suddenly told that they have a bunch of dramatic and tragic past lives will need a buffer period."
"I just hope..." Himeko said softly, watching the increasingly close silhouette of the celestial ship.
"The storm in Luofu... could it have come a little later?"
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
The journey of the Star Train seems to have been anything but peaceful from the moment the sky descends.
At the center of all this is a young man named Lu Li.
He is currently facing the biggest crisis of his life since he transmigrated.
……
Lu Li lay motionless on the bed for half an hour.
He lay motionless, his eyes staring at the ceiling.
My mind is a complete mess.
Bai Heng.
The fox-girl who only existed in the sky and in the game's background story has come to life.
It jumped out of his knife and now lives in the house next door to him.
Most importantly, she firmly believes that he is the "past life" of the man who died for her, but has lost his memory.
Lu Li felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
He clearly only wanted to work as a support staff member on the train.
Every day I brew coffee, wipe the table, tease March 7th, and occasionally watch the main characters' adventures.
Finally, he lived a peaceful and stable life until retirement.
Is this wish difficult to fulfill?
First it was Kafka, then it was Bai Heng.
There might be more Mirror Stream and others coming up...
Why?
Why him of all people?
"etc……"
"System! You fucking come out here!"
As if he had thought of something, Lu Li's face instantly darkened.
"I was wondering why you were being so obedient this time, directly activating the authentication function."
"You damn gossip system...did you do this?!"
