In order to cater to Kiana's appetite, Su Jue prepared food for seven or eight people, and as expected, all of it ended up in the girl's stomach. "Do you need more?" Su Jue glanced at the girl's belly, which was only slightly rising and falling. Most people probably couldn't afford such a big appetite. "No, thanks." Looking at the pile of plates in front of her, Kiana looked away unconsciously. Su Jue's food was really delicious. She ate a little too much without realizing it just now. I hope she won't scare him... I guess. "Kiana, I remember you ate more than this when you were in Saint Freya." Ji Zi was holding a bottle of wine and asked in confusion. "Auntie Ji Zi." Feeling the coldness coming from the girl, Ji Zi decisively surrendered, laughed and changed the subject, "Su Jue, do you want to drink? It's not okay for a boy not to drink." She shook the bottle in her hand. It was just a bottle of very light sake. Before Su Jue could answer, Kiana ruthlessly complained: "It's obviously you, Teacher Ji Zi, who wants to drink. Su Jue is still a minor and cannot drink." Actually you can. Su Jue wisely chose to keep quiet and not get involved.
"Eh? Is this true? Su Jue is not even 18 years old?" Ji Zi's surprise was not fake. She really didn't expect that this meticulous boy was still a minor. "He's actually younger than you, Kiana. But it doesn't matter. It's normal for boys to drink." Ji Zi wanted to say something, but Kiana's expression became more and more unfriendly, so she could only give up. "Okay, okay, let's stop here for today. You two must have worked hard coming back from such a long distance. Leave the cleaning and washing of dishes to Eden and me. You can chat and take a rest." Putting the wine bottle on the coffee table, Jizi stood up and moved the pile of plates in front of Kiana into the kitchen. Eden smiled at the two of them, picked up the kitchen waste and sent it out to the alley. Soon, Su Jue and Kiana were the only ones left in the room. The dinner ended late at night, and the moon outside the window had already quietly climbed up to the sky, casting its bright moonlight on the ground. The weather in June is already a little hot, with only the midnight breeze bringing a little coolness. "Do you want to go for some fresh air?" Kiana suggested, looking at the bright moon in the sky. "it is good." I353 Thousands of glances back in exchange for meeting you in this life The two who suggested taking a walk did not go far, but climbed onto the roof of a residential building. Most of the houses in the suburbs are low, and the roof of the building where Su Jue was located was enough to overlook the entire city. The cool evening breeze blew through the girl's hair, taking away the fatigue accumulated over the past few months. The bright moonlight passed through the misty clouds, casting two shadows on the rooftop with its silver light. "It's been a long time since I've seen the night view of this city so easily." By the fence of the rooftop, the two of them leaned leisurely on the railing, looking at the village path lit by the dim street lights, and Kiana sighed softly. "After all, you have been running forward non-stop all the time." Putting his hand on the guardrail of the rooftop, Su Jue subconsciously looked at Kiana who was looking at the scenery, "Sometimes, if you just slow down a little, you will find that the scenery around you is enough to touch your heart." "Hmm~" Kiana stretched comfortably, her beautiful figure fully revealed in the moonlight. "You're right. Only by relaxing like this occasionally can we pick ourselves up and move on." After stretching, Kiana turned her head back and her eyes met Su Jue's. An imperceptible shyness flashed across her eyes, and then she returned to normal. She turned her back, tiptoed and lightly jumped up, and simply sat directly on the railing, facing Su Jue who was standing on the ground. "But Su Jue, before you talk about me, don't you think you are the one who needs more rest?"
"Why do you say that?" "Because the eyes cannot deceive." Kiana, who was sitting on the railing, suddenly lost her balance and fell forward. Su Jue subconsciously stretched out her hand to catch her, but just as the two were about to touch, Kiana's falling movement suddenly stopped. Their faces were only five centimeters apart, and they could even feel each other's breath. They looked into each other's eyes and could clearly see any changes in each other's eyes. Kiana's feet were firmly clasped on the horizontal bar of the railing, and the leaning action just now was just a deliberate test. In this short moment, at such a close distance, she had already seen all the nervousness and panic in Su Jue's eyes. A smile appeared on her face, and Su Jue realized that he was being teased and could only look away awkwardly. "The eyes can't lie." As if to successfully verify her words, Kiana continued: "Before the coral island, I didn't notice these details, but when you took me out of the consciousness space, I began to consciously look into your eyes." "Your eyes often carry a fatigue that I don't understand. I thought you were worried about the strength of the Ice Herrer, but even after the fire was ignited, this fatigue only eased, it didn't disappear. I know that you still have a lot of things that you haven't told me. They may be secrets that you don't want to tell, or they may be unforgettable past, but..." Kiana leaned closer, "I want to get to know you better, I want to help you, we are partners, friends, and...people who walk together." The moonlight tonight was beautiful, so beautiful that it made Su Jue a little flustered. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after Kiana came out of the consciousness space and successfully ignited the fire, her attitude is becoming more and more proactive. Su Jue, who should have been in a dominant position, is gradually losing his ability to control his emotions. Just when Su Jue was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, whether to continue hiding it or reveal some information about himself, Kiana suddenly retracted her action and smiled as if she had succeeded in playing a prank. "I'm just kidding. Everyone has their own secrets. Some secrets can never be told to others. I am very clear about this, so I won't really pry into your secrets." The girl sat on the railing, swinging her calves. "I also have my own secrets, and there are many things I have never told you. Everyone has their own story, but..." She paused and reached out to tuck her windblown hair behind her ears, "I want to get to know you better, and I'm not kidding." "..." The bright moon was clear and transparent, and reflected in Su Jue's eyes was the appearance of Kiana. The evening breeze blew across the silver light, surrounding two approaching figures in the silent night. Kiana, who was sitting on the railing, turned her body and looked past Su Jue to the darkness behind him. "You know what? Before coming to Sky City, I also had a very happy time. At that time, I was studying in a high school called Saint Freya Academy, and I had a group of good friends. Smart and calm Bronya, dull and serious class monitor Fu Hua, cold-hearted teacher Himeko, busy and responsible school principal Theresa, and... my best friend, Mei. " “They were all people I was close to, but because of the power of the Herrscher of the Void in my body, they all had to leave school and become enemies of Destiny. Bronya and the principal were hunted by Destiny and had to stay in Anti-Entropy. In order to help me, Fu Hua was left with only consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. Teacher Ji Zi almost died in the imaginary space. If you hadn't saved her, I might never have seen her again. Finally, there is Mei. In order to relieve the pressure on the Herrscher core in my body, she chose to join Kindred and become the Herrscher of Thunder. It seems that everyone who gets close to me becomes unhappy. So I sometimes worry that one day you will choose to leave, just like you did before. " Kiana's gaze returned to Su Jue again. She lowered her eyebrows, and the moonlight shining on her cheek made her face look a little pale. "I have a feeling that if you disappear again, I may never be able to find any trace of you."
"So I want to get to know you better. In this way, even if you disappear one day, I can follow your footsteps little by little and find you again." As if his throat was stuck by frozen ice crystals, Su Jue's prepared words froze in his mouth. The reflection in each other's grey eyes made it impossible for him to tell any more lies. "Kiana, do you know... [Tree of Imaginary Numbers]?" The quiet evening breeze blew a fallen leaf from somewhere, and the leaf lay quietly in Su Jue's hand. In the gray night, a golden light slowly lit up in Su Jue's eyes. The lush and complex inverse tree patterns were imprinted in Su Jue's eyes, and the power from the origin of imaginary numbers was displayed in front of Kiana for the first time. This was the power of [Su Jue], not the power of the Ruler. "This is?" "The Imaginary Tree is the origin of the collapse and the birthplace of the world. It is located deep in the imaginary space and is the measure of the dimensions of time and space." Su Jue held Kiana's right hand and slowly placed the leaf in his hand in hers. In an instant, Kiana's consciousness seemed to pass through endless space and arrived at a red sea of sand. In the center of the sea of sand, a golden tree that covered the sky and the earth emitted a dazzling golden glow. The majestic tree of imaginary numbers caused Kiana to fall into a brief shock, and she did not come back to her senses for a long time. When she finally shifted her gaze away from the tree of imaginary numbers, she found that in the endless red sand, a familiar gray-haired boy was moving towards the giant tree step by step like an ascetic. "Su Jue?" The image of the tree of imaginary numbers only appeared for a moment, and Kiana's consciousness returned to her body again, but the horror in her eyes did not dissipate. What confused her even more was the lonely figure in the red sand. "That boy is..." "Yes, it's me." Su Jue did not deny it. "You can regard it as my projection, or as my consciousness, whatever is fine." "So, your final destination is that tree?" “Yes and no.” Su Jue acted as a riddler. “My goal is indeed the tree of imaginary numbers, but the tree of imaginary numbers is just a concept. It is not a physical tree itself, which means I may never be able to reach it.” The leaves in his hand disappeared, and Kiana took advantage of Su Jue's hand before he could withdraw it and grabbed his hand tightly. "Anyway, if you disappear, I can find you again by just looking for that tree, right?" "..." "The imaginary space is boundless and very dangerous. You can't..." Even Su Jue himself could not guarantee that he would not be swallowed by the imaginary numbers. He told Kiana these just as a precaution, not to let her take risks. "I don't want to hear this, just tell me the answer." The golden power of the Law of the Sky burst out, and Kiana flew up from the railing, almost pressing her whole body on Su Jue. She stared closely at Su Jue's eyes, even calling on the power of the Herrscher to sense any changes in his eyes. Under this kind of pressure, Su Jue finally lost. "Yes." "The Imaginary Tree is the measure of time. The [Time Chaser] I gave you is part of the power of imaginary numbers. It does not belong to Honkai. If you get lost in the imaginary space, you can rely on it to return to the world." Apart from the Fire Flame, this is the most important gift Su Jue prepared for Kiana. Time and space are originally one. For Kiana who masters the power of the Law of Space, this is tantamount to a vital life-saving talisman. "You have actually come into contact with the Imaginary Number Tree a long time ago? Then your ability..." "Build a connection with the imaginary, draw power from the collapse, and dominate it." Su Jue did not lie, but cleverly put the word "dominate" at the end. "I can open the imaginary space, and I can also use some of the abilities of the Herrscher Core." He took out the cores of the Herrschers Bing and Yan. The blue and khaki cores were suspended in his hands, and a frost nebula appeared in the surrounding air. This was a sign that the two powers were manifesting at the same time.
"That's why you pretend to be the Herrscher of Fire." Kiana suddenly realized. "I need Honkai to heal myself, and the Herrscher Core is a very effective method." Su Jue, who came to this world, still could not get rid of the entanglement of the curse. Even if he became the Dominant Herrscher, he would still face the end of death. It was the threat of death that prompted him to initially devise the plan to abduct Kiana. Now, the price of his lifespan has been paid by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but the curse has not disappeared. Fortunately, the Sheep Spirit Life and the Herrscher Core can alleviate the lifespan problem. At least Su Jue doesn’t have to worry now. "Then, are these two cores enough? I can use my own..." Looking at Qiana who was getting a little nervous, Su Jue smiled and rejected her, "Don't worry, my physical problems have been solved long ago, and I am not weak at all now. Even if I have problems, you will always be by my side." "Then you are never allowed to leave me again." Kiana looked at him seriously. "Um……" After sharing each other's secrets, the two became closer. They found a clean place to sit down and chatted about some past events. Kiana told Su Jue about her interesting experiences in Saint Freya, her friends, and even her experiences with Mei. Su Jue was a quiet listener, remembering every word Kiana said. "Kiana, the room is ready. Are you two going to stay in the same room tonight or...?" Teacher Ji Zi, who had just finished washing the dishes, walked onto the rooftop and saw only two people sitting with their shoulders leaning against each other. She was startled for a moment, then quickly smiled knowingly. She stopped disturbing them, silently closed the door and went back into the house. …… "Su Jue, we were not familiar with each other in Tianqiong City, why did you choose to help me?" "Probably because..." "I've met you thousands of times before." In the vast red sand, Su Jue's real body looked up at the boundless tree of imaginary numbers, looked at a withered branch, and said so. Home: 354 New consciousness Kiana and Su Jue can sleep together in the evening breeze, but some people may find it difficult to have a good dream. click! The sound of a wine glass breaking rang out in the office, and the bright red wine spilled onto the floor, forming a pool of water that looked like fresh blood. "Cough cough." At the Destiny headquarters, Otto was slumped in his chair, his fingers trembling unconsciously. Intense pain stirred his mind, and even his body made of soul steel was constantly spasming and shaking. "Here it comes again." After a few minutes, he came back to his senses from the stabbing pain in his consciousness. This was the price of his contact with the will of Honkai. The erosion of consciousness by Honkai is more serious than imagined. Even with 500 years of memory, Otto can hardly resist the price of facing God directly. However, compared to the knowledge gained from the Honkai Will, Otto could fully accept this level of price. Tuk Tuk.
"Your Excellency the Bishop?" There was a knock on the door, and Amber's concerned greeting rang out. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Otto controlled this new soul steel body and ordered: "Amber, help me retrieve the data of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle XS-768 file. I have something to verify." The amount of data obtained by Qianjie Yicheng is terrifying. Trying to filter out the information he needs from it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, with the help of the knowledge provided by the Will of Honkai, Otto was able to greatly narrow the screening scope. What might have taken several years could now be shortened to a few months, which meant he was one step closer to resurrecting Kallen. "Yes." Amber outside the door answered softly, holding her folder and walked towards the laboratory.
