One night a few days later.

That night, Liu Quan didn't sleep well. All kinds of bizarre dreams are intertwined, and she can't really fall into a deep sleep that is enough to rest her body and mind. In her dreams, the faces of countless people alternated, and those who would never be seen again, in her dreams, doing their own thing under her gaze, occasionally looking up to see her, and then returning her with a smile or a few words, as if her departure had never happened.

Speaking of which, after separating from the previous world, because the strategy process was too long and arduous, the system was merciful and allowed her to stay in that "Endless Palace" for three days of vacation, and then she was randomly put into this world.

Said it was a holiday, but she had to stay in the empty rotunda. If she wanted to sleep, a large bed would automatically appear in the Endless Hall - but it was a little sad for a single dog to sleep in such a big bed alone - and if she wanted to eat, the table in the hall would automatically appear with the food she wanted to eat, but other than that, leisure activities were extremely scarce. There is no computer or mobile phone to read articles or play games on the Internet, and there is no TV to kill her time.

In the end, the system bacteria probably planned to do it to the end, and gave her a very special time-limited permission - she can choose to watch the original anime plot related to the three worlds she has completed within three days of this holiday.

The temptation of this offer is too great, even if she can only see the original plot that is actually different from the three worlds she has experienced, which can be said to be "parallel worlds", she is already very content.

Due to time constraints, she only picked a few episodes from the TV version of each work to watch, and sometimes her choice was ruthlessly rejected by the system, claiming that "for some unspecified reasons, this part of the plot cannot be revealed to players";

[It's you, you're the one who is full of flaws, Jibe-kun. In the floating projection of the endless hall, Irie said a lot.

[When I was a child, I grew up in England, and the people around me, even if they were the same age, were much better than me. Defense and tactics were seen through one by one......] Keigo, who had a round child's face and was dirty from falling down countless times to save the ball, gritted his teeth and said.

[In that difficult adversity, what I have learned is to find out the weaknesses of the opponent and attack mercilessly!]

Then the round-faced, stubborn childish boy turned into a teenager Keigo who was standing on the field of the U-17 training camp and had almost lost his strength due to the long and fierce competition, and continued: [...... No matter what the people around me say, this is the only way I can go!]

Then, in the dream, a slightly unfamiliar face appeared. The man looked like he was already a young man, and he was separated from Tezuka Kunimitsu across the net, and his tone was calm.

【…… Thanks to you, I was able to regain my passion for tennis and survive the hard rehabilitation...... You're always sacrificing yourself to fight for the team, it's time to set yourself free. The young man raised his head and looked at Tezuka across the net, his face surprised and moved, and his smile was refreshing.

[——From now on, please fight for yourself.] 】

Then, the scene in the dream turned into a familiar road outside Aizu Castle in her memory, and the Shinsengumi Seiji flag was erected alof. A young man dressed in a black dress with a knife in his left hand pulled out his "Ikeda Onijinmaru Kunishige" and shouted: "Saito Ichi, the leader of the third group of the Shinsengumi, swears to the Seiji Banner that you will never pass from now on!]

The enemy soldiers on the opposite side opened fire. In the midst of the hail of bullets, he rushed towards the enemy line with his sword in his hand, the long hem on both sides of his coat floating up with his running pace to form a handsome arc, looking like the wings that could fly with him to the clear clear sky and silent mountains behind those enemies—

Again, the scene changed. Bizarre is no longer a killing battlefield, but a bright and quiet moonlit night. Hijikata stood in the corridor of the cantonment, the sliding door behind him was open, and inside the door sat Chizuru, who was bowing his head and weeping, and said intermittently: [...... I'm not qualified to be with you-]

We did say that we would take you in, but we didn't just keep you by our side because of this sentence. …… You think of your fellow man, and draw your sword for your fellow man, and that is enough reason to be with us. The sound of the earthwork echoes low but firmly in the garden at night. Then, he turned around and held out a hand of his own at the camera — and the person behind it.

Finally, the scene changes to a vista of a modern bustling city. Against the backdrop of the clear sky, a powerful pillar of magical light suddenly sprang up somewhere in the city. The pillar of light glowed green and soared into the sky.

The next moment, a person appeared in the camera. Reiji Sogaka, whose face had already taken on the resolute and calm color of youth, stood there, looking up at the pillar of magical light that soared into the sky.

Then, Reiji Soka smiled and said to himself, "...... Is it started? But it saves a lot of trouble to find it. 】

He lowered his head and spread his right hand, staring into his palm.

Even in her dreams, the touch of the hand tapping her forehead seemed to still be so clearly engraved on the surface of her skin. Liu Quan couldn't help but tremble slightly in his dream.

The next moment, she heard his deep voice, as if she had made some irrevocable decision.

[I don't know how long I can hold on,] his right hand clenched into a fist, and a look of determination that he had never seen before appeared on his face.

[Just let me run until the moment I fall.] 】

Liu Quan suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed with a swish!

Her eyes widened in the darkness of the room, and an inexplicable fear and doubt surged in her heart.

She sat on the bed, the warm and comfortable feathers were slid to her waist, the upper body that had been slightly sweaty was completely exposed to the cold air of the night, and the silk nightdress that had been soaked with sweat was ironed on her body, which instantly brought a chill, she couldn't help but shiver, and her mind was completely clear.

Her eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room. Through the faint moonlight leaking through the cracks in the curtains, she saw the white crystal bottle on her bedside table that contained a fresh white crystal recipe that Snape had modified. Even though she had multiple injuries on her face and body that night, since Bai Xian Essence was originally a wonderful potion that could work wonders in a small amount, a third of the potion in that bottle had just been used.

She stared straight at the crystal bottle, watching a trace of moonlight cast on its bottle, reflecting the crystal bottle almost transparent, with a kind of transparent beauty.

The white essential oil was originally brown, but I don't know what ingredients Snape had changed in this recipe, and now the bottle of white fresh essence actually looks pale green, like clear lake water, and when illuminated by the moonlight, it looks even more transparent and crystalline.

This almost warm and beautiful color never seemed to appear in their lives. No, maybe it was a long, long time ago, but they—her, to be exact—lost it all, and didn't know when it would take her back, or rather, she didn't know if she would be able to get all the warmth and beauty back.

Willow Quan suddenly turned around and reached under the pillow, grabbed the wand that had always been there when he slept, and turned to get out of bed.

But almost at the same time, the long-extinguished fireplace in the room suddenly "soared" a green flame, and Dumbledore's face appeared in the green flame.

"Lily, please come to the principal's office immediately. His tone was serious, short, with a hint of implicit anger and tension in his voice.

"Oh, the mantra is 'Bibi Duowei Bean'. When Willow Quan was stunned for only a second before reacting, turning back to pick up a dressing gown from the low cabinet at the foot of the bed and putting it over his silk nightdress, Dumbledore's face came out of the fireplace flames again, and he quickly added.

Before Liu Quan could say "I'll be there soon," the flames in the fireplace went out. She suddenly sensed that the situation was serious, and she didn't have time to change into more formal clothes, so she threw a thermal insulation charm at herself and hurried out of the room.

When she reached the door of the headmaster's office, she was less surprised to find a black-robed figure confronting the ugly stone beast guarding the headmaster's door—or maybe he just hadn't had time to say the order to enter the door.

Still, Willow Springs, wondered how Snape had been dressed and preemptively appeared on the eighth floor in just a few minutes?

She walked up behind him, and even the softest footsteps startled him. Snape turned around in an instant, his sharp gaze sweeping towards the uninvited guest behind him. When he saw who was coming and what he was wearing, his face became extremely ugly.

"What are you doing here?"

In response to his aggressive tone, Liu Quan spread his hands in surprise, "Of course Professor Dumbledore called me here." ”

Snape's critical and contemptuous gaze flicked over her, and his expression moved, as if annoyed by her raunkiness. "I'm assuming that your brain, which hasn't been completely destroyed by Gryffindor's character, remembers that reasonable and formal dress is a form of respect and courtesy for others!"

Liu Quan subconsciously tightened the front of her dressing gown, and looked down at her dress - although the crimson dressing gown on her body was unbuttoned, she also tied the belt after putting the two plackets on her body, and now the neckline of her dressing gown probably didn't even reveal the nightdress she was wearing, which can really be called very dense. Of course, the pair of bare calves exposed under her nightdress can't be considered her responsibility - being suddenly called up from bed in the middle of the night to gather urgently is already very neat, and it is not rude.

Willow Quan wrinkled his nose while he kept his head down, and silently expressed his dissatisfaction with Snape's accusations.

Dumbledore dragged them here from his bedroom in the middle of the night, apparently not to create more quarrels for them. So Liu Quan didn't reply, but just said straight to the very ugly stone beast, "Bibi Duowei Bean." ”

The stone beast slid to the side with a grunt. Snape glanced sideways at Willow Spring, the expression on his face still not very good, and walked in first, striding up the stairs.

After he knocked twice, the oak door to the headmaster's room opened almost immediately. Dumbledore was sitting behind the large desk with a grim face in a dark blue nightgown embellished with shiny stars and moon motifs, and a nightcap of the same color and pattern.

Willow Springs was almost amused by Snape's usual unthreaded outfit if it weren't for Dumbledore's expression that looked as ugly as Snape's, just after Snape had just finished admonishing her that "reasonable and formal dress is a form of respect and courtesy!"

However, Dumbledore apparently did not bother to pay attention to the faint dark tide between Snape and Willow Springs.

Seeing the two of them come in, Dumbledore didn't greet them, but rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly, "I just received news that Peter Pedirus has escaped from prison at the Ministry of Magic. Now nowhere to be found. The Ministry of Magic has issued a wanted warrant against him......"

Willow Spring's footsteps froze in place almost immediately. Snape stiffened, then strode to the desk without wasting a second, slammed his fists on the table, propped himself on, and almost crossed the entire table with his upper body glaring at Dumbledore's eyes.

"What did you say?!"

Dumbledore raised his eyelids, and the eyes of his old man, who seemed to be unable to wake up, instantly shot a sharp light, faintly implying anger no less than that of Snape.

"Animagus. He only said one word.

Liu Quan understood in an instant.

Since Siris was able to use his Animagus avatar to escape from the heavily guarded Azkaban, then in the Ministry of Magic prison, which was far less vigilant than Azkaban, Peter Pediroux could easily find an opportunity to escape using the same method - in a sense, his move forced the plot of the story back to the original trajectory of development, so that damn "plot inertia" would no longer be alarmed, and the world would be safe for the time being- But she wasn't going to simply feel relieved by that.

"He must have wanted to go to those villains," she said immediately, feeling that it was too unusual for her not to say anything at such a moment. "Nothing good will happen to them when they get together. ”

At this point, Professor McGonagall arrived. As soon as she heard Liu Quan's reasoning, she immediately agreed, and added with a frown: "Nothing will go wrong with Azkaban, right, Albus?"

Dumbledore's brow hadn't lifted from the moment they had just entered. "I don't know. Fudge and I have reaffirmed the importance of strengthening the Azkaban guards, but ......"

"Fudge doesn't think so?" Willow Spring picked up the unfinished words for him, and Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.

"We can't count on him...... And what the Ministry of Magic can do to remedy it. "We'll have to think about what might happen after this," he said slowly, "We're going to have to think about what might happen after that......

Snape's face skewed in anger. Seeing that the culprit responsible for the real Lily's death was in the palm of their hands, he couldn't immediately see that despicable villain receive the harshest punishment!
