Thank you Dumb and the passer-by on the other side for the reward.

"I never thought there would be a moment like this."
Cold, bitter words came out of his thin lips, filled with disappointment and anger.
The moist sea breeze blew across the cliff, where there were only two people, and blew a layer of mist to reveal the two girls facing each other. With white hair and red eyes, their appearance is the same, and they have a striking similarity. One had a gloomy face and tears welling up in the corners of his eyes; The other was much calmer, only from time to time a trace of emotion that only she could understand from the depths of the pupils looking at the other person.
The sea below the cliff was a scattering of boulders, similar in texture to the cliff on the side, with rough fractures, as if they had been caused by a great impact, and smooth as if they had been cut by a sharp weapon. In addition, there are also a large number of monster corpses floating in the water, mostly the Fish Tribes and Sea Dragons, whose blood spills out of their bodies after death and merges into the water, rendering the surface of the water purple red. A little farther out on the surface of the sea floated the figure of an incomparably huge monster, with a slender ice-blue body and neck like a dragon, its red fins standing like a sword sail on its spine from one to the end, a large piece of the edge of the neck was missing out of thin air, and blood was constantly flowing from the terrible wounds.
The monster shivered and twitched in the water, and it looked as if it was still alive, but judging by the terrible wound on its neck, it was only a matter of time before it died.
Nelofa let go of her hand, tossing aside the huge head she had torn off with brute force, and turned her head away from the other girl's questioning eyes.
She looked at the sea beside her, staring at the corpses inside, not knowing what she was thinking.
They were supposed to be powerful warriors, and at least living beings and elves, but now they were all dead things, a sea of desolate corpses.
was ruthlessly buried by her own hands.
"Why do you have to do it?" Being half of her body avoided her gaze made Li Bai's anger rise even further, and she stretched out her hand to point to the huge head of the sea dragon monster: "You ...... Such a desire to see blood? Such a desire to use your power to spread death? Have you ever wondered what this is like? They're all elves! Held in the hands of you and me, and even countless Duellists, it is regarded as the archetype of treasure, companion, and family! How can you ...... them? β
The White ...... noticed that the voice of the other white-haired girl began to twist and whimper, and Nellofa's heartstrings tightened, and a faint cramp passed through her mind from there.
"Didn't you promise me not to do anything about the Great Dark Evil God again...... Didn't you promise me not to use my power again to cause evil? Why...... Didn't we say we were going to live here forever...... Why ...... all of a sudden"
Li Bai was able to maintain her angry expression at first, but soon, as a few tears slipped down her cheeks, her strength quickly collapsed, and she stretched out a hand to cover her eyes, and slowly sat on the ground.
She is crying, not only for the sake of life, but also for the loss of a peaceful life, but also contains the incomprehension of the sudden change in her lover's temperament, as well as the confusion and fear of the unknown future.
"White!" Unable to bear to see her sad appearance, Nelofa, or Celestial Flame, took a few steps forward, and raised his hands slowly and softly, trying to hold her.
Just like usual.
"Don't come here!" Li Bai stretched out his other hand violently, his five fingers spread, and the meaning of resistance was undoubtedly revealed.
"We ...... It's impossible to go back to the way it used to be, it's impossible, Flame! β
"Look at the hands you want to hug me...... Look at what it looks like! β
The expression of astonishment froze on her face with the snort, Tianguangyan looked at the girl on the ground in a daze, and looked at the pure eyes with her eyes, she saw the hand she stretched out to her, the liquid on the palm of the hand, the color was like-
"It's like blood......
The glutinous and soft coquettish emotion sounded from her ears, the stunned girl turned her head, and beside her, Li Bai snuggled on her shoulder with a brown scarf, looking at the burning clouds in the sky and shouting.
In 2016, in Madrid, the capital of Spain, Ciberez Square, the blood glow cast a warm light on the air, and the pedestrians smiling and looking at each other with ambiguous eyes at the two beautiful girls standing next to the fountain.
For the enthusiastic inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, this ambiguity is no longer limited to men and women β they have been in the process of informing same-sex marriage laws almost a decade ago.
"It's beautiful! It's hard to imagine that we were just here to visit Plaza Ciberez...... I didn't expect to see such a beautiful fiery cloud, look at it, the face of the statue of the goddess of harvest is dyed red! β
It can be seen that Li Bai is very happy to encounter such a rare beauty, she rarely has such a lively expression on weekdays, but the smile on her face at this moment makes Tianguangyan feel extremely dazzling, and it is difficult to take her eyes off.
"Did you know that this Ciberez Square is also known as the Goddess of Harvest Square, and some of the people of Madrid celebrate here after their team wins the championship...... Team? Of course it's Real Madrid, the kid we met selling snacks before, he was wearing the team's jersey, I personally don't like this team very much, I always feel that the policy is not like a club that simply thinks about competition, there is a kind of ruthless businessman feeling, by the way, does Flame have a favorite club? β
"Yes." Just after digesting the mixed memories of Hui FΓΉ, Tianguangyan was stunned again, and showed a doting smile at Li Bai: "Your blue crystal Tong Shiye." β
"Blue crystal Tong Shiye is a dueling club, I'm talking about a football club~ it's football!"
"Oh, then it's Real Madrid." Putting aside the heavy things in his mind, Tianguangyan reached out and stroked Li Bai's hair: "Fool, the influence of card duels is so great now, if this Real Madrid club has vision and strength, how can it not have a duel division...... In the same way, how can Azurite, as a gold-absorbing signboard in the name of the company, only have a branch of the dueling club. Soccer is still a popular sport, you just don't pay attention to anything other than cards. β
"Really? Why not like Barcelona? They've been playing significantly better in recent years? Li Bai furrowed his eyebrows, revealing a suspicious look.
"Could it be, you're in love with a tall and handsome guy in Madrid......"
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll move my evening entertainment to a nearby park." Resisting the urge to teach Li Bai a lesson in public, Tianguangyan twitched the corners of his eyes: "My liking is only because they wear white clothes, it's as simple as that!" β
"Oh~~~" Li Bai dragged out a meaningful end, stretched out his hand to stroke the slightly curly long hair behind his head, and looked at the other party with a smile.
"White...... Can I understand that you are showing me love? β
"Shut up, if you don't want me to do anything here to embarrass you." While being so threatening, Tianguangyan rubbed his temples with a headache, and pointed to a staircase not far away: "Didn't you shout that you were tired all the way before, let's go, go sit over there for a while......"
"Okay." Li Bai nodded: "Give me the newspaper we bought before, I don't want to sit there directly, the winter is not over yet, it will be very cold." β
"Christmas Carnival Night-The White Emperor Leads Blue Crystal Tong Shiye to Win the Duel King Cup"
Seeing such an eye-catching cover of the newspaper she pulled out of her satchel, Tianguangyan's pupils shrank slightly, and a thunderbolt sounded in her mind, and when she came to her senses, she found that Li Bai was gone, and there was no longer a square around her.
A poorly dressed middle-aged man stood in front of her, with a cart full of stacks of old newspapers and other miscellaneous items, and she herself stood on the inside of the threshold in a long jet-black trench coat, top hat and sunglasses.
It looks like it's just a poor creature trying to beg for a little useless scrap in her house.
"Oh my God! What do I see? When the man saw the newspaper in her hand, he immediately let out an exaggerated roar: "The newspaper that published the headline of the White Emperor's Grand Slam in the season of '16!" This is Spanish? Unbelievable, Miss, you can have such a thing, and it is so well preserved! Can I get it? β
The man's eyes were full of ecstasy when he looked at the newspaper, he waited expectantly for the strange woman's reply, and was stunned for a moment after finding that the other party was indifferent, and then rubbed his hands embarrassedly after reacting: "Of course, this is not to ask you to give it to me for free like before, I mean...... Can I buy it for money? You may not know how precious this thing is...... Oh no, it's a memorial value, it's a testament to that glorious era thirty-seven years ago, and I'm a big supporter of that one myself, and it's a shame that if it weren't for her inexplicable sudden disappearance after the Grand Slam, she would have gone on to break even more horrible records......"
Regardless of the man's chatter, Skylight Flame ignored him for the time being, her eyes behind her sunglasses surveying the humble house she was in, and then stopped at the place of the wall under the wall clock.
There's a calendar hanging there.
"August 11, 2053......" Standing in front of the calendar, Skylight Flame muttered the circled date.
"It's been more than 20 years since the zero point reversal accident to today......
"Strictly speaking, twenty-five years." The man who collected the scrap swallowed nervously, he didn't quite understand what the strange woman was doing all of a sudden.
In broad daylight, I was at home again, dressed up and wrapped myself tightly, and actually wore sunglasses...... He had long wanted to complain about this strange guy who lived in Building 15, and today this desire was even more subverted - but for the sake of that precious newspaper, he had to endure it as always.
The guy who would choose to live on Zenit Street can't be a rich person, and his knowledge must not be high, otherwise he won't be holding an out-of-print commemorative item without knowing it...... I have to admit that the influence of His Majesty the White Emperor will still be so far-reaching after so long, and if he sells this newspaper, it will at least be comparable to doing this kind of garbage work for several years, so no matter what, he will ......
"Then there are less than two years left before this epoch is retraced."
"What?" The man who was rapidly calculating how to convince Tianguang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard her pop up such a sentence, but before he could figure out the specific meaning of the sentence just now, the hand that Tianguang Yan pulled out of his coat pocket, the thing he was holding in that hand, immediately plunged him into an extremely violent panic.
It was a card, a standard monster card with a yellow background.
There are no card names, no card diagrams, no attributes, races, effect descriptions, and values.
"As for ......" Looking at the man who was leaning against the wall and trembling, Tianguangyan took off her hat, revealing long snow-white hair, she approached the other party step by step, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, vaguely revealing a trace of desolation.
"If I haven't found the 'crown' in this last time, your disappearance will also be retraced, and you won't know if you were born before 00 years, what is there to ...... to fear?"
"I'm scared!"
A soft body suddenly embraced her from behind.
The night breeze blew across the very top of Hugo's mansion, tangling together the long snow-white hair of countless different owners.
"I'm afraid of forgetting you again, forgetting the lion and even everyone again...... When I opened my eyes, it was that ignorant night, thinking that I had just been sent into the other world by the system, and I had nothing......"
"You're not nothing." She turned around and hugged her still sobbing body.
"From that moment on, I have been sleeping in the bottom of your heart, in the seal of that cage."
"I'll wake upβat the time of Kingdom War."
"I will wake upβat the time of the Egyptian war."
"I will remember you - in the near future...... We will one day be able to stop this shattered fate, and the collapse of the system and the world will one day be stopped. β
"One day, we will be able to live without worries......"
"Really?"
"Of course."
"But I'll forget your ......"
"Me too."
ββ¦β¦ Still going to fall in love with you. β
"Me too."
"There's a good chance they'll hate you."
"I don't blame you."
"I'm going to even kill youβ"
"I don't blame you!"
With resolute love and the last four words shouted in the night sky, the two girls at the top of the building kissed each other fiercely, their hands were like pincers to circle each other, their eyes stared at each other without blinking, as if to permanently engrave this final moment, the flickering neon under their feet began to disappear in large swaths, the starry sky began to dim, the moonlight became more and more hazy, in memory, the last thing I heard was-
A bell rang.
"Huh!!"
Sweating profusely, her eyes opened, and Phil Nelofa awoke from her throne, gasping for breath, and with a look of astonishment, panic as she scanned the hall she had already acquainted.
For the sake of the specially arranged, upcoming guests, all the "outsiders" were deliberately expelled from the place, leaving only her, and the Lion Witch waiting here.
She was supposed to sit here with the mentality of being in control of the overall situation, but now she fell into a terrible confusion.
"What the hell is going on...... This ...... This memory!? β
She hugged her head in pain, combing through this abruptly recalled memory.
It's so...... It was so large and complex, containing so many rich emotions and experiences, and at the same time it was so heavy that it seemed to crush her brain...... Nelofa had to get up from his throne with terrible roars and groans coming from his throat.
And at this moment, about thirty paces away from her, the door carved with the evil and dangerous demon god was pushed open.
Li Bai stood alone in the light that came in from the outside, her shadow extending from under her feet, constantly stretching until it was past her amethyst high heels.
"You know what, Phil?" The girl who had kissed her in memory looked at her with a cold, unfamiliar gaze.
"The moment I fell in love with you, I never thought there would be such a moment."
