Chapter 456: The End of Samsara
He was on the verge of dying because he was inserted into his body by something strange...... Well, that's still too bad, so let's change it to a more intuitive one, that is...... Yi Cheng, who may have been inserted into his heart by a brooch now, really cares about his life and death.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as the injury of this level is not dead, it can always be saved in the Savior's management office, but ...... It's about extraordinary abilities, and of course it's impossible to take it lightly.
However, the focus of Mentor Red himself is obviously not on him so far.
That's because the truth of what she saw through was obviously more cruel than that.
"The root cause of all this complete chaos is...... This is the brooch. ”
Poking Yi Cheng's chest with the tips of his fingers, although Mentor Hong's movements were ambiguous, his tone became serious for the first time.
"I used to tell the superhero called 'Ghost' that any ability that involves the realm of time is dangerous, whether it's time travel, or creating an 'illusion' that is almost indistinguishable from a real person, but can replace the original body for a period of time, once any problem occurs, it can lead to the constriction or even collapse of the time stream."
"Ah...... Yes, that's right, so after that, I did follow your advice, and in order to distinguish whether I was an 'ontologist' or an illusion, I deliberately created this 'brooch' as a sign of judgment. ”
The "mediator" who took over Mentor Hong's words seemed to have an undetectable wry smile on his face for a moment.
"However, it seems that I really believe too blindly in my own abilities."
"Wait...... What kind of strange dumb riddle are you two playing! I don't think it's better to make things clear as quickly as possible! ”
At the same time that Yi Cheng made a solemn protest, Bai Ze suddenly sighed deeply.
"I see...... I understand. ”
"Say what you understand! Otherwise, I, the protagonist, might not survive this volume! ”
Ignoring Yi Cheng's urgent appearance of jumping to his feet, Bai Ze just turned his inquiring gaze to Mentor Hong, and after receiving the other party's affirmative answer, he shook his head again.
"Actually...... This tragic thing will happen. ”
"So, I said from the beginning, it's all my fault."
Somewhat helplessly, Mentor Red twisted a few strands of hair from his shoulders with his fingers.
"If I had been able to make the rules of time travel in those days and make them widespread, maybe none of this would have happened."
"Hey, you've sold enough guanzi to this extent......"
“……”
The only thing that makes Yi Cheng feel a little relieved now is that except for the three women who "claim to have understood everything", the rest of the people are just as unaware as him.
So, next, Mentor Hong, as a sympathetic boss for his subordinates, gave an incredibly shocking answer.
"The reason why there are two identical individuals now is because ...... These two individuals today are just 'illusions'. ”
…… Ay?
When his brain quickly understood this message, but before it completely fell into a crash because of it, Yi Cheng only had time to ask a question that he wanted to confirm in the first place.
"Wait...... And what about the real ghosts?! The man who has traveled several times between the past and the future in three parallel timelines! ”
"She's ......"
Mentor Red glanced at the current "mediator" and made sure that she didn't have any emotional turmoil or signs of collapse because of the answer she had given.
"Do you remember...... What is the sequence of events just now? ”
"Remember...... What's wrong? ”
"The first time she entered the space-time tunnel to track down the man who had taken her 'quest item', the ghost did one thing."
"You mean ......"
Yi Cheng remembered that it happened in "Timeline A", when the ghost attacked the villain girl codenamed "Brooch" who was about to enter the time rift with him before entering the time rift. ”
Faced with only paper-level strength and an evil villain's attack target, the ghost who was a superhero at that time obviously did not intend to leave any clues and traces of "I have appeared here", and because of this, her cold sneak attack can also be said to spare no effort.
"As I said before, although in the post-mortem analysis, I knew and mastered more information than any of you, and because of this, I was able to extract the cocoon from such a complex situation and finally restore the real situation, but at that time, the ghost himself obviously did not know the setting of this 'triple world line', and ...... The case where the brooch as an illusion was taken away from the 'brooch' beacon. ”
At this point, Mentor Red paused slightly, and then said the unbelievable truth.
So, that's what it was like then...... I don't know if I ignored this possibility, or simply let it happen, and in the end, this superhero 'ghost' who traveled through time and space, at that moment, was attacked by his past self. ”
This was a rather deadly attack, and although it did not die immediately, the remaining life was only enough to support the ghost at this time to pass through the rift again.
And this time, she used her last strength to create the last "image of the past", and then, together with the "Savior Squad" who was about to set off to return to the past, she returned to the past from the beginning of World Line A to complete this tragic reincarnation.
“……”
Already, no one is able to make any noise at this moment.
When the brutal truth is told in the mouth of the Red Mentor, when the story finally ends in such a dramatic tragedy......
"No, the story doesn't end there."
Suddenly, the "mediator", who knew all this throughout, laughed.
"At least, I still have time, get what I want, and then get back to that moment and finish my mission."
She winked at Yicheng, then spread her palms.
"As far as I know, that's the course of history as the right timeline should be, isn't it?"
“……”
Yi Cheng was silent.
That's right, for this superhero, codenamed "Ghost", her original purpose may have been just to "get her stuff back".
Although many uncontrollable circumstances occurred in this process, at the last moment of her life, the purpose of this "last image" she sent out may simply be to let this history go on on the right track.
