Chapter 206 Has the Star God Appeared?
"Kevin, I hate you!"
Qiong was running wildly through an unknown wilderness, relentlessly pursued by Kevin, who was carrying a greatsword for some unknown reason! That old white-haired man had been chasing him for days, and Qiong, unarmed, could only run for his life to survive...
"Stop fighting me, you can't escape..."
--------------
"Well……"
The world returned to chaos, and all was pitch black. Qiong, feeling like his body was about to fall apart, slowly woke up and tried to adjust to the light.
Did I just have a nightmare?
Confused, Qiong found himself lying on a soft, large bed. He tried to recall his last memory—he had been blown up by Kevin, and then nothing more.
So, why am I in this room?
"Uncle Yang, are you there?!"
Although she was completely weak, Qiong still managed to shout out. After thinking it over, she figured it must have been Walter who brought her here.
With no one responding, Qiong could only drag himself out of bed, exhausted. He was wearing pajamas he didn't know where he came from, and there happened to be a pair of slippers by the bed, so he decided to use them temporarily.
Qiong stepped out of the bedroom and found that the living room outside was decorated in a very... unique way.
It has a Frankenstein-like quality, a fusion of East and West, but not quite a good one.
The TV is still on over there, so someone must be there, right?
Is anyone there?
"Hmm, you're awake?"
"Kevin?! Flame Spear—"
A familiar voice rang out not far away, startling Qiong, who instinctively reached for her Flame Spear to stab the person.
Where's his gun?!
"Friend, don't move around too much even though you're awake! You must be badly injured."
Kevin, dressed in loose-fitting casual home clothes and sandals, got up from the sofa in front of the TV and approached.
"you you you……"
"I?"
Kevin pointed to himself.
"My name is Bai E."
Kevin—oh no, he should be called Bai E—quickly pulled Qiong down to sit.
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone! Don't move around too much! By the way, what's your name?"
That kind smile didn't seem fake, but it's still best to be cautious.
"Hello, my name is Danheng."
"So you're the Danheng brothers? Oh, right, you and I look quite alike! And—"
Just then, the television played standard news music.
Qiong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a string of familiar faces appear on the television.
"According to our station, Father Bio, president of Tianming Technology Co., Ltd., a leading company in Weiming City, announced today that he is resigning from all positions within the Tianming Group. It is understood that his daughter, Ottovira, and granddaughter, Teri, will succeed him..."
Qiong: ...
"Dr. Yang Shijie, director of the Anti-Entropy Research Institute, recently stated that endless energy may no longer be just a fantasy in the science fiction literature produced by Anti-Entropy Entertainment. Through their efforts, humanity will obtain nearly inexhaustible energy, which is expected to become a reality by the end of this year. The following is a detailed report—"
Qiong clenched his fists. Although his body hadn't fully recovered, he desperately wanted to punch himself to see if he was going crazy or if the world had collapsed...
He was actually watching a serious-looking Yae Sakura broadcast news about Otto and Welt!
"What's wrong? Why are you so engrossed in watching?"
Kevin waved his hand in front of Qiong.
"Danheng, are you also an employee of Destiny?"
"No, I'm not..."
He just couldn't accept this strange world setting—undoubtedly, he wasn't dreaming. That meant he'd stumbled headfirst into a bubble of a world.
Qiong took a deep breath, deciding to figure out the situation first.
"Kevin, where am I?"
"My name is Bai E."
"Where is this place?"
"My home!"
"No, where is this?"
Bai E scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Southwest District of Weiming City, what's wrong? Is it far from your home? Is it urgent?"
Qiong sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. It seemed she wouldn't get much useful information from this "Kevin".
Just then, the doorbell rang. Bai E ran to open the door, leaving Qiong alone to gather her thoughts.
"Brother, I'm here! Where is the person you were talking about?"
Qiong's eyes widened as Bai E opened the door and let in a Kiana with Roman curls?!
"Hello, my name is Bai Yan."
The white-haired girl greeted him politely.
You look just like my brother!
"Forehead……"
Qiong was at a loss for words.
"Hmm, you don't know each other?"
Kevin, carrying two glasses of water, came over.
"I have absolutely no recollection of it."
Well, judgment complete. Those clear eyes, untouched by knowledge, are exactly like Kiana's. This Bai Yan is also adorable but brainless.
"No way?"
Bai E put down his water glass, stroked his chin, and recalled the events in his mind.
"But he looks so much like me, he must be a relative of our Bai family, right? Also, he has a tattoo on the back of his neck that's exactly the same as yours..."
"Tattoo?"
Qiong couldn't see his own back, but the curious Bai Yan could, so he even pulled on the back of his neck to show it to him.
There's nothing there?
--------------
After a little time, Qiong roughly figured out the situation: the people in this world seemed to be proponents of the flat Earth theory.
The place he was in was called Weiming City. There was only one city in the world. It took three hours to drive to the city's border, beyond which lay endless void.
Bai E is a programmer at the Tianming Group, while his younger sister, Bai Yan, is just an ordinary student at Qianyu Academy. Yesterday, on his way home from get off work, Bai E witnessed an unprecedented fireball falling. Out of curiosity, he and his researcher girlfriend, Lei Yingdian (who's still the bespectacled Dr. Mei!), abandoned their date and chased after the meteor... At its impact point, they found him—the Flame Spear was in the hands of that Miss Ying...
Bai E believed that Qiong was just an unlucky guy who invented a flying device but had an accident, like Ying's accidental experimental explosion, and should be sent to the hospital immediately. However, Ying voted against it, and even opposed sending Qiong to the hospital, arguing that Qiong had no fatal injuries and was an extraterrestrial visitor, so perhaps…
However, Bai E insisted that human life was at stake, and the two sides reached a stalemate. Finally, as a compromise, Kevin contacted his best female friend, surgeon Su Xiaoyue, to come to his house to examine Qiong.
"Su...Xiaoyue?"
When Su or Xiaoyue are mentioned, Qiong only has two impressions in her mind: the perpetually squinting Jue and the "Dark God of Gunara".
"That's right, the gentle and beautiful Sister Xiaoyue is the best neighborly older sister in the world. She's kind, understanding, broad-minded, and has superb medical skills—your injury is almost healed, isn't it? She's much better than my brother's bespectacled girlfriend who only knows how to do research!"
As he spoke, Bai Yan glared at Bai E.
"Alright, alright, as the old saying goes, every profession is like a mountain to climb. Don't speak rudely to your sister-in-law! And don't get any strange ideas about the pure friendship between me and Lao Su!"
Based on the descriptions given by the brother and sister who gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, the image of Dr. Su in Qiong's mind was probably... Vita.
"So, Brother Danheng, are you from outer space?"
The other party had essentially saved her, so there was no need to hide anything. Qiong hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"That woman was right! There really are aliens!"
"Um, could you take me to where I left off?"
--------------
"Pretty advanced, actually?"
Walking down the street, Qiong saw many strange and unconventional styles. Some people were dressed in ancient costumes, while others had mechanical prosthetics. The cashiers at the shop entrances might not be human, but robotic...
"This is it."
Their destination was a green field, but the place Bai E had brought him to was surrounded by barren land, with only a large pit in the center. Qiong jumped into the pit and looked up at the sky, hoping to see the trajectory of his flight back—a pipe dream, of course.
"How am I supposed to get back now?!"
Old Yang's battle with Kevin may very well have resulted in his own sacrifice.
If that's the case, are we supposed to wait until next year for Bronya to go into the Sea of Quanta and try to retrieve her? That would be too embarrassing!
No, if we're lucky, we might get help from that Dr. Schrödinger.
Although she tried to comfort herself with the idea of Bronya and Schrödinger, for some reason, the depressed Qiong suddenly felt like shouting at the sky to vent her frustration.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Brother, is he mentally unstable...?"
Bai Yan tugged at Bai E's sleeve. The brother and sister looked at Qiong, who suddenly went crazy and shouted without regard for others, with slight tension.
"Almighty star god! Krippe! Nanuk! Aha! If you can hear me, please appear—ah?"
Just as Qiong was shouting, a blue-purple dot suddenly appeared in the sky.
The "dot" grew larger and larger, seemingly accompanied by a tail flame.
"What is that? A shooting star? No, that's not right, maybe it's reinforcements!"
A meteor streaked across the sky. Although there was no evidence that it was a rescue, Qiong, grasping at every straw, immediately set off for the likely landing point.
"Brother Danheng, don't run! Your injuries haven't healed yet!"
Bai E and Bai Yan chased after Qiong, but Qiong was only focused on reaching the suspected landing point. Just as they were about to reach their target, the blue-purple "dot" suddenly vanished. Qiong stopped and looked around, searching for any trace of it.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and a petite figure appeared not far away.
The person was a girl with shoulder-length black hair tinged with blue, a red quantum symbol mark on her chest, and wearing a blue vest, a gradient blue skirt, and blue striped stockings...
"You're Seele?!"
My goodness, the Star God has truly appeared!
"You can see me? Who are you?"
Holding a sickle, Seele's pupils turned from blue to red as she threatened Qiong with a nursery rhyme. Her intention was to scare Qiong away and force her to question him, but to Seele's surprise, after a brief eye contact, Qiong excitedly danced around and laughed loudly.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
But which star deity manifested? Who knows? Who cares!
