Chapter 279: Hongmeng's Death (2)
"How do I find out slowly? Where do I go now? Who was that man just now? Why did he kill me? Twelve's mind was plagued by doubts, and for a moment he only felt like he was about to collapse.
However, Hongmeng has gradually lost his function, and his gaze has begun to dim: "He is the time-traveler killer - Torizuka, the farther away from him, the better!" โ
Speaking of this, Hongmeng stretched out his hand to his body, explored it, and with a force, took out a transparent crystal glass ball.
He handed the glass ball to Twelve's hands: "This is the medium of time and space jumping, it can take you anywhere, don't trust anyone, they may be coming for your soul fragments-"
"Host, this is the last time I'll call you, you're the one with the most potential to leave this hellish place I've ever metโ"
As the last sentence fell, Hongmeng closed his eyes forever.
Twelve held the glass ball blankly, watching Hongmeng, who had lost all his functions in his arms, collapse and whimper.
"Why is this happening? Am I dead or alive? What should I do-"
Until the ruins died because of the energy supply Hongmeng, the light gradually disappeared, and the shadows of stars began to appear in the sky, and the twelve stood up in despair.
She used the ruins as a grave to bury this Hongmeng who had been following her, looking at the stars in the sky, as if she could still hear his voice.
Twelve left the place with the orb.
She ran on the road, but found that her body was extremely light, and she could jump more than ten meters high with just one click.
This place seems to have no gravity, and there is garbage everywhere similar to the room where you are staying.
Twelve could have imagined that maybe even earlier, there would have been white rooms like that everywhere.
Hongmeng also once said that she is the host of the twelfth female supporting system, so it is called twelve, so who is in charge of this system?
Is it the main system? Or is it someone else? What is their real purpose? Will I be able to come back to life again?
After a moment's pause, these questions lingered in her mind again.
Twelve knew that he couldn't go on with such fantasies, and he had to act first.
She glanced at the orb in her hand, then at the darkness, and Twelve decided to jump to a light-lit plane first.
After thinking about it for a while, Twelve began to control his mind while holding the glass ball.
A burst of white light flashed, and the Twelve Crossing took a whole new place.
This is a futuristic city without darkness, and Twelve is a little girl who has been adopted by an old beggar, and they live in the most marginal part of the city, and where the light is the weakest.
From here, looking into the center of the city, there was a huge pillar of light in the middle, and the old beggar had told her that it was the place where the upper class livedโthe capital of light.
Twelve looked at her ragged and emaciated body, wondering how she had come to this place, but she was thinking about when she was first reborn.
The old beggar, who was already very old, had recently fallen seriously ill, and still could not get up, so he lay on his bed and waved at Twelve.
Twelve obediently walked up to his side.
The old beggar touched her little head and said, "Grandpa can't do it, the only thing that can't be relieved is you, if I die, who will take care of you, so grandpa asked someone to get a hospitality ticket for Guangdu, you go there!" With that, he took out a glittering gold coupon from his bosom.
Because without Hongmeng's help, Twelve has no way to retrace the incident, and can only inherit the most important memory of the original owner, and the only thing she still remembers is that the person in front of her adopted her.
If this is really just a virtual world as Hongmeng said, then is this person guiding himself to explore the truth?
Twelve felt that no matter what, light was a place worth exploring, and she took the invitation ticket and said to the old beggar: "Grandpa, thank you, don't worry, I will take good care of myself!" โ
The old beggar said with some relief, "Then I will be relieved," and then closed his eyes.
I don't know why, Twelve always felt that the old beggar in front of him looked a little like Hongmeng.
She packed up her few few things and headed for the light.
Twelve didn't notice that after she was gone, the old beggar who had closed his eyes turned into a red wave of light and disappeared into the sky.
The road to Guangdu is not as tortuous as Twelve imagined, on the contrary, there is a glowing main road in the center of the city that connects the various areas of the city.
Including edge bands and light all.
Twelve walked on it, watching the people around her pointing at her and not caring about her, she just wanted to get to the light capital as soon as possible.
But Twelve, who was carrying a golden coupon, attracted the covetousness of others.
Twelve didn't know that the gold ticket was not for everyone, and a man in a black leather coat on the side of the road stared at her and followed her all the way.
As a killer, Twelve naturally had a keen instinct and found out as soon as the man trailed him.
She no longer walked down the main road, but went around a small alley, and the man followed.
Who knows, this alley turned out to be a dead end.
Seeing this, the leather-clad man approached Twelve with a wicked smile, and said, "Hey, hey, little girl, you can't run, so if you know each other, hurry up and hand over the golden coupon, and go back to your edge and take it!" โ
Twelve turned around calmly, waved the golden ticket in his hand and said, "Do you want this?" Get it! โ
The man's eyes were full of desire when he looked at the golden ticket, and he stretched out his hands to grab it, but Twelve bent his knees forward and hit him in the abdomen.
Suddenly, he only felt unbearable pain in his abdomen, and if Twelve hadn't expected it, he should have kicked him in the stomach.
Twelve stepped forward and stepped on the head of the man lying on the ground with his toes: "Say, this golden coupon is so good, you want it so much?" โ
The man struggled twice and found that he was not as strong as others, so he could only admit obediently: "The golden coupon is the only pass to go to the light capital, as long as you have this, you can live the life of a human being, although I don't know where you came from a little girl with a marginal belt, but this thing is a thief to worry about!" โ
Twelve figured it out in an instant, it turned out that the old beggar was really an NPC, or the last bit of consciousness left by Hongmeng, who gave himself such a golden finger.
After understanding Hongmeng's good intentions, Twelve properly put away the golden coupons, didn't dare to put them outside anymore, and then set foot on the road to Guangdu.
But the truth is, surprises always come before surprises.
Just when Twelve had walked for a long time and was almost outside the gate of Guangdu, she saw the last person she wanted to meet - Torizuka.
She didn't know if Torizuka had chased her here or if his destination was also here, and Twelve lowered the brim of his hat, hoping that the other party wouldn't recognize her.
