[Could it be that after merging with me, Aisha's personality will also change?...... or will the costume itself be linked to the personality] When she was used to Aisha, who was now much more mild-tempered, and suddenly found that she had become the same bad state as before, Angul also felt a little unacceptable - and to be honest, it seemed to be even worse than before?

At least the previous Aisha would never have been so dark!

"I'm tired of listening to all sorts of goggles praising their fallacies — so ah, I've had to block out all this noise from the start. ”

Aisha said as if no one was around, as if she was explaining to Angul and at the same time to her angry enemy...... The reason why Aisha has such spare time, and can even ignore the other party's attacks, is because from the beginning, she has given up all restraints.

Although in the final analysis, she is still incomplete at this time, but after stepping into this gray realm that is detached from reality, Aisha also found that all the suppression and restraint that need to be cared about have disappeared - perhaps, the dark consciousness here also wants to create a comfortable environment for herself, right? Unfortunately, such "relaxed" environmental conditions are also applicable to Aisha.

"A calm and graceful posture, a calm and unhurried attitude, like an elegant and wise demeanor...... A villain who thinks he has grace and connotation, can freely manipulate the thoughts of chess pieces, and plays with the emotions of the world, must be proud to have these things, right? Can this guy, who is completely rotten from the roots, have these good qualities? At least I can see that underneath that guy's exterior. Hidden are rage, hatred, madness—those good qualities, in the end, are just 'good tools' in their hands, right?"

Aisha Ping raised her left hand and spread her fingers forward, and the powerful attack came to a gentle halt in front of her. To the surprise of the dark consciousness, he began to feel a trace of fear...... Because he can feel it. His own attack is not blocked by "something", but a more subtle feeling.

own attacks. It's like an oil drop that can't melt into clear water, and the closer you get to that hateful woman, the deeper the stickiness you can feel, and eventually. It's hard to move forward.

He was horrified to find out. In the gray world, there is a constant influx of other colors—the pale blue that escapes from Aisha's body, constantly eroding the monotonous world.

"You're trying to dye me your color, aren't you?" Aisha took a step forward towards the other party, and the dark consciousness suddenly felt a strong counter-thrust from the giant sword in her hand, and the wave of attacks that had been stuck and stagnant in half actually followed the woman's advance. And in turn, they went backwards in their own direction!

"Or, you try it now. Can you stop me from dyeing your world realm blue?"

This piece of blue is eroding its own realm in reverse! The dark consciousness finally reacted, and the seemingly thin woman in front of him was simply a monster in human skin!

"No way! I ...... I am darkness!How can I be eroded in reverse!" He tried his best to block the faintly violent pale blue that devoured the gray space, but found that the gray that he was proud of and had the ability to infect and erose was not a unified enemy at all in front of the other party!

"This is a gray area that embraces light! Even the most powerful light power cannot purify the negative and dark ...... that human beings have had since the beginning of their lives. For what...... Why is this happening...... Fusion of light and darkness, there should be no natural enemies!"

"Brightness?" Aisha laughed happily as if she had heard an unusually funny joke, "How dare you say that what kind of 'light' you call fused into? After all, the so-called 'light' that does not have the premise and goal of 'truth, goodness and beauty' is something similar to the archway of a bitch, right?

What a self-righteous villain.

Negative emotions, dark thoughts...... These are indeed heavy realities that one cannot avoid and must face. However, while there is such an unbearable and rotten thing, people also have a positive, kind, and great side. Too often, people are forced to make a choice – a fork in the road from which there is no turning back, with malice on one side and conscience on the other.

At this time, the two roads are actually the same width.

Whichever one is chosen, when a similar choice arises again in the future, the side of the road that favors the side of the past will become more wide, and the other side will become narrower and narrower...... When a person has become accustomed to choosing malice and abandons his conscience, one day, he will never have such a choice question again.

And this guy in front of him is, without a doubt, the most hopeless kind. In order to make one's darkness more demagogic, the so-called "light" that comes into contact with it has nothing to do with the other half of the choices that human beings have experienced.

This is the same as the "public knowledge" of collecting other people's "evidence" with ulterior motives because of disputes - from the initial starting point, it is with the purpose of favoritism, and what qualifications can the "ironclad evidence" found be called "objective"!?

The "light" that comes into contact with for evil purposes really doesn't matter if you don't look at it.

"There is such a thing as light, but you must seriously enshrine it in your 'heart'! You have a black heart like an inferior asphalt dirty thing, but try to see if you can do it?—— if you are not afraid of your black heart burning!~"

Aisha's gesture of contempt in her heart completely hurt the other party's self-esteem.

"Damn, even so, I can't lose to you like this...... Obviously, I don't even have the power of light......"

"Huh, do I look like a good guy like that?"

[Oops! Aisha, this guy ......]

I heard Aisha's rather playful question. Angul's whole person is not good - that is, she is now in a state of integration, if she still retains her body, then at this moment. The hairs all over her body must be standing on end nervously, right?

Others don't know what to do, but Angul knows it all too well, and there was a time when Aisha almost did something irreparable......

"It's a pity, I'm definitely not as tall as a 'brave'. If I really want to say it, it's just an idle and boring 'sage'...... Of course, if you have to push it forward. I'm also qualified for a position where the 'First Great Demon King' is not happy at all. - Just like this. ”

The progress of erosion and devouring was still slow, but it changed in an instant. The pale blue color rendered by Aisha's side spread out violently. swept the entire world world. It's just a matter of minutes, and this gray world, which was originally negative and dim, has been replaced by another color.

As far as the eye can see. It's a breathtaking blue.

"This ...... It's ......"

Didn't think of it anyway. The human form transformed by the dark consciousness, at this moment, felt that his heart was tightly held by some invisible force, as if his breath would be greatly oppressed—this is also a matter of course, the world world that he himself constructed that is detached from reality is essentially his own heart?

And now. Here, it can already be said that it was forcibly requisitioned by passing robbers.

"Haha What was once a halfway move can finally be realized now - even if this is not a reality, just a small world realm, but the feeling of crushing a world world realm is really high!"

[ENDS...... It's completely turned into a villain's face!The worst thing is that it's not a secondary two disease attack, it's just that Aisha simply wants to vent it!]

Looking at this familiar scene in front of him, Angul couldn't help but have mixed feelings - once when he was facing this moment, he was extremely expecting Aisha to stop, and in fact, he was also working hard, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is disobeying the yang and the yin, right? But at this time, ...... She felt that she should not disturb Aisha's interest.

At that time, Aisha chose to stop after the last moment, but it doesn't mean that she just let go of some things......

[This idiot, it's been so long, but he still cares about that, right?]

Aisha's posture at this moment undoubtedly shows that there are some knots in Aisha's heart that have never been unraveled. Aisha didn't choose the means of "revenge" at that time, maybe it was only because some feelings outweighed hatred the most, right?

Aisha said that she is a very grudgeful person, and it is impossible for her to give up her hatred.

She was able to give up using revenge because hatred was not the only spiritual pillar for her—something that had a deeper impact on her than hatred was called "love" and "responsibility". When they clash, there is no doubt that Aisha will give priority to the latter after all.

After all this time, whether Aisha still remembers the thing called "hatred", Angul thinks, should not be - she is not a person who will continue to dwell on the past, but it is impossible to make Aisha completely forget it...... In short, if someone takes the initiative to mention this, although Aisha will not turn her face, she will definitely snort twice in displeasure, right?

"Did you say that you also tried to destroy this world!? In that case, why are you going to stop me now! You can't destroy the world and be stopped, so why do you want to stop me!? Shouldn't we be a united front!?"

The dark consciousness is facing the pale blue that has swept the entire world like the end of the world, and it would be disqualified to be unable to feel Aisha's will contained in it. But it was because of this that he was extremely angry and puzzled—because what he saw was a force that was exactly in line with the name of "destroying the world...... Full of anger and passion, the difference is that this pale blue force is more violent. He could even feel that after occupying his own realm, these pale blues still seemed to be not satisfied, and they were eager to break the restrictions in them and go to the wider realm!

Such a force amount. Its owner said that he wanted to destroy the world realm, saying that he was the former great demon king, and he would definitely not doubt it.

But that's it. He was puzzled - is it until now, why should such an existence hinder him?

"Like you? Don't laugh. ”

Aisha's gaze swept coldly over the other's head: "I never rejoice in the tragic fate of others, and if it is caused by my own hands, I will still feel guilty...... You want to destroy the world out of pleasure. It's out of self-satisfaction, and it's not the same as me—you, as a pleasure offender, won't stop on your own. ”

"And. No one came to stop me—it was my own reason and conscience that stopped my madness. As for what is the case, it is only because at that time, no one has the power to stop me. ”

Aisha slowly closed her eyes. A moment later. When she opened it, her pupils had turned blue.

"I'm not reconciled......! Why do you want to be against me!"

When the entire realm and the entire world realm fell into the control of blue, the dark consciousness also felt it, and the entire world realm, including the space itself, had already begun to undergo a subtle vibration - this was the same vibration as a private team stepping across a drawbridge. is extremely deadly, because under its action. The spatial architecture here also vibrates together...... Then, the crash begins.

Space, itself is dying.

"What is it for?" Aisha looked at the poor creature that was already beginning to show self-destructive tendencies rather amusedly, and pointed to the sky, "Do you see this blue sky?"

"You ......"

"If it's a white cloud, I'd welcome it—but you're not even as good as a dark cloud, and let your ugly black obscure the sky, this kind of thing, just think about it and I'll want to vomit!"

"That's it...... That's why!?"

"'This kind of reason'?" Aisha's eyes lit up, as if she had heard her heart, and the space that had been riddled with holes finally began the countdown under her anger and dissatisfaction.

The sky is starting to crumble.

"For humans, the blue field above their heads is a place where they can't set foot. Born with the bounty of the earth, the sea, and the fire, they lacked the means and ability to explore the skies...... But even so, the word 'sky' has never been a derogatory term in the eyes of the creatures of the earth. I think you should know very well that life usually has a considerable degree of fear for the unknown, but why can't the sky enjoy this treatment?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Aisha said to herself: "That's because this blue realm has a special meaning for them—although it is unknown, although it is dangerous, it is wider than the earth we live in! Everyone can know the Dao, and outside the cage of life that he can't get rid of, there is always an infinitely vast world!"

"You won't understand, will you?" Aisha looked at the other party with disdain, "You must have never tried to pay attention to what the 'worldly realm' is like outside of your own power. Hiding in this small corner, claiming to be a great and all-powerful god, and wantonly trampling on twisted goodness to satisfy your twisted pleasures, have you ever seen what the people who look up at the sky see from there?"

The dark consciousness looked up a little dazedly, and subconsciously looked at the sky - no, he couldn't see anything, the 'sky' had shattered, and between the fragments that were shattered, he saw nothing.

His first attempt to look up at the sky ended in failure. However, he didn't have the extra heart to regret it, this realm he had constructed by himself had long since become a cage that bound him, and at the same time that the cage of his heart was broken, his consciousness also fell into nothingness and chaos.

Maybe there will be another "dark consciousness" in the future, but it will definitely be another one. This dark consciousness, which had accumulated strength for thousands of years, no longer existed.

"How about the feeling of tearing apart a world realm?"

"It's not as exciting as I thought it would be — I said it at the time, but actually, when the space really started to die, the excitement was gone...... Ultimately. I'm not the fodder for such a thing. ”

Seeing Aisha's appearance, Angul also breathed a sigh of relief. It may be a little unfounded, but she is really worried about Aisha's venting after many years. It affected her mood and thinking. After all, it doesn't matter if the other people are nervous, once someone like Aisha makes trouble, it will really be the end of the world.

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, and I still have self-knowledge. ”

Angul's careful thoughts, how could he hide it from Aisha?

“...... What you said earlier. What is there in the sky that makes people fascinated? I always feel like I'm just like that guy just now. I've never cared about that......"

"Angul, don't you know what to say? What I'm talking about is 'freedom'. ”

"Free ......?"

Angul was slightly stunned, and he could only smile bitterly twice: "Okay, as a void creation, I. I really didn't think about that—so to speak. We don't even enjoy the benefits of 'freedom'!"

"I think that if you are so relaxed that you are like you, you will die a miserable death if you clamore for freedom every day......"

This group of guys basically have no worries, they are lazy and lazy every day, there is no pressure and burden at all, and they don't have too much comfort every day! It must be "one book of satisfaction", right?

Such a happy guy is sure to be able to sleep happily and lazily even if he looks at the sky.

"The sky. Unlike everything else, the most special thing is that if you want to observe it, you have to raise your head. People's thinking and thinking will change because of the movement of the body itself - the action of raising the head itself contains the meaning of 'optimism', 'positivity' and 'hope'. On the other hand, when people make the action of 'raising their heads', they will also take deep breaths, which will further calm their minds and stretch their body and mind. The people who perform these actions have adjusted their own state to the positive side, and the sky they see is originally full of tranquility and expansiveness...... When their gaze opens up with the sky, their natural hearts follow and extend infinitely. In the 'sky', people see the power that transcends reality, life, and the present, and when the heart is no longer restricted by reality and always walks ahead, the luxury of 'freedom' is born. ”

“......”

Seeing Angul's silent and sullen look, Aisha hurriedly comforted her and said: "Don't be envious - 'freedom' is a thing that balances people's hearts so that they don't get out of balance when there is a conflict between ideals and reality." You're lazy and stupid, but you're always looking ahead, you don't need this kind of thing in the first place......"

"Who do you say is lazy and stupid!"

Angul was immediately unhappy, and was about to lose his temper, but Aisha succeeded in sending it away in a few words.

"Speaking of which, when I watched you humanize before, it seemed that there was a little 'bulging' in the waist......"

"Hey, hey!? How can I get fat! Although I eat a lot every day, I have exercised well!"

Angul immediately focused on his weight and obesity and stopped bothering Aisha.

[Alas, it's been so long, this guy is still so simple......] Aisha can't help but be a little envious of a void creation like Angul, whether it's Angul or Xia's noisy pumpkin head, it seems that there are no worries, and he lives every day carefree. Angul is not stupid, her cleverness does not have any conflict with whether she is simple or not.

Thinking of this, Aisha couldn't help but sigh.

"Aisha, what's wrong with you?"

Angul suddenly realizes that something is wrong with Aisha's condition, and just as he wants to ask something, Aisha suddenly disintegrates with her. Angul was startled, and reflexively tried to catch Aisha, only to find that his body had already performed a reverse summoning technique.

"Are you crazy! After the original space collapsed, this place can be regarded as a void - without me, relying only on human bodies, even you ......"

Although Aisha has said before, the merger with Angul is only to enhance his physical fitness, so that he can easily exert the "power of the heavens" that is difficult for the human body to fully open. But after all, Angul is the Void Demon God, after merging with her. Aisha's body not only has a surge in physical fitness, but also has the ability to control nothingness freely. Without this level of connection, Aisha's body is now just human. Exposed to the void alone like this, no matter how strong her strength was, Angul was scared into a cold sweat!

"It's okay...... That's fine. ”

Aisha said as she said as one more thing appeared in her right hand - but Angul became even more emotional when he saw what Aisha was doing.

It was a long, narrow, beautiful blue spear.

"What are you nervous about!, do you think you're dying fast enough!?"

Angul is going crazy - having known Aisha for so long, her natural way, the spear that once accompanied Aisha on the battlefield. It was not too much to call her a "life talisman" under the influence of her weak body! Angul had seen a red trickle spill from the corners of Aisha's mouth.

"Aisha, take it back!"

"I can't do it~~Hey~"

"Sell your sister's cute......ness at this time! Obedient...... I'm going to be angry if you do this again!" Angul yelled at Aisha excitedly, only to receive an apologetic smile from Aisha. She was startled as she thought of what Aisha had just said to her......

"You...... You've been planning to do this for a long time!?"

"I'm sorry. I deceived you a little. ”

"Why do you want to do this, can't you let me go with you?" Angul resisted the tremendous pull of the summoning spell. gritted his teeth and let himself stay in this void, "It was the same at that time! What dangerous things you want to do, you won't tell me the ins and outs, and at the critical moment, you will throw me aside with a face of 'I'm doing this for your good'!"

"Although we are not lovers, aren't we friends? You are such a blind hero, have you ever considered how I feel!? You are a weak soul, don't be too self-righteous!"

"If that's what you're talking about. Then I apologize to you...... But today, it is impossible for me to grant your request. ”

"You ——!"

Angul was about to get angry. Only to find that Aisha lifted the barrel of the gun and gently pressed the handle of the gun against her shoulder.

"Please, you have to tell Lin about what happened here - if you insist on settling accounts at that time, no problem, just beat me up with Lin, I won't resist what you want to do~"

After that, the blue spear body glowed with a gentle light, and Angul only felt a majestic force coming, and the force of his painstaking resistance to the summoning spell was disintegrated in an instant, and naturally, the whole person was also pulled backwards by a strong gravitational force.

"As a result, you guy pulled me over, just hoping that I would tell Lin about this place?" Angul couldn't resist the force of dragging himself away, and could only shout loudly before Aisha disappeared from his vision, "You wait! I will definitely strip you naked and tie you to the bed when the time comes, and I won't let you go down if you don't get dehydrated!"

It's really a punishment play that I didn't expect at all......

As Angul noisily left, Aisha whispered her words of apology in her heart.

"That's why I can't come with Io—they're not so talkative, and they're not so easy to break free......"

Aisha is also quite self-aware of her behavior...... I'm afraid that no one of all the friends I know will agree with her to do such a crazy thing alone, right?

But such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter what she says, she can't give it up! The same thing happened again, how could Aisha, who had experienced and experienced that pain firsthand, not recognize the situation?

Time is out of order.

Undoubtedly, this evokes Aisha's deepest memories of her own twists and turns, and broadly speaking, it is because of this that so many things have happened since then. Although it cannot be said to be the cause of everything, it is definitely the fuse of a series of events and tragedies that followed.

Aisha naturally knew what the power of this wonderful phenomenon was—if he had the will, he could take advantage of this loophole in time, even if it was something like getting a defeated and dying country back into the world...... As long as the history of defeat is obscured, nothing is impossible.

Aisha didn't know. Who made such a big move, and how did you do it...... All she knew was that if she let this situation continue. If someone with a heart notices it, it may make the entire world a mess!

This situation must be dealt with as soon as possible!

After investigation, Aisha found that although the cause of this timeline disorder could not be found inexplicably (because Covadron was no longer in this world), the most closely related to it at present was the darkness buried deep under the imperial capital.

Aisha originally thought that the dark consciousness here was the initiator. But as it turned out, this was not the case. Even after this time the dark consciousness was defeated by itself, the situation of time chaos did not improve in the slightest.

Maybe. Just a coincidence?

Aisha can only think like this - no matter what, behind such a troublesome thing, there can be less conspiracy and less shady. It's always good.

"Although consciousness has died. But the dark power of these negative emotions is still there—is it really just a coincidence? What is closely related is really only the amount of these dark forces, and it has little to do with that subjective consciousness?...... Forget it, no matter how many it is, as long as they are completely cut off from this world here, it will be fine, right?"

Using her innate ability to manipulate space as the Spirit of the Winds, Aisha was able to temporarily separate these dark forces from this worldly realm. Although it can't be maintained forever, but with them. With the help of this timeline of confusion, it is still possible to travel to the future.

It's just that in this way, there may be a long time when Lin will not be able to see herself—for Aisha herself, it may only be a short moment's work, but for Rin, it is not impossible to do it for decades.

The thought that when she met Lin again, Lin might become a mature, steady, and generous celebrity, Aisha's heart couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

"Sorry, but this kind of thing ......"

“...... Isn't it too selfish to carry it alone?"

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice rang in Aisha's ears—the moment she heard it, Aisha's expression and movements froze at the same time. Aisha turned her head stiffly, and the first thing that caught her eye was a strand of silver-white hair.

"It's been a long time since I saw you here, and it seems that everything is in the plan. ”

A pair of arms wrapped tightly around Aisha and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Yi ...... Easter ......"

"It's really too much, I won't be like a who will do something to you as soon as I come up, if you don't take the initiative to find me, forget it, it's rare to reunite, and it's still such a cold attitude......"

Aisha suddenly felt the burden of her body because of the spear, and after Esther took herself into her arms, she no longer had that fatigue and burden.

"How did you end up here...... Wait! Wait, I don't know, this time loophole, it's you...... Whew, where are your hands touching!?"

As soon as Aisha reacted, East, who was waiting for the rabbit here, although she didn't know if the Dao had anything to do with the dark consciousness under the imperial capital, but she must be a part of the culprit who messed up the timeline!

Esther tossed her hands up and down on Aisha's chest with resentment.

"Rebel...... Said the traitor!"

"Easter, don't push so hard - my back hurts a little......"

But Aisha is no longer the little sister who used to be at the mercy of her sister, and now she has long been out of salt, and after facing Easter's disturbing ♀ behavior, Aisha also immediately launched a counterattack - the actual effect is outstanding.

"QAQ Uhh

East went into a rampage on the spot. In fact, she originally wanted to refute Aisha and tell her that she was still a little plumper than Xiao Wei...... But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that if you say this, in a sense, it's just that losing is more ugly!

But what cannot be forgiven is that Aisha, whom she has admired since childhood, should one day become an enemy of the power class! This is really unforgivable! Unforgivable......

(Grip...... ）

Esther looked at his hands a little dazedly, and shook them thoughtfully. Raising his head, he looked at Aisha very seriously, and said, "Can I ...... again"

"Excuse me!

Look at this frame. How could Aisha not have guessed what Esther wanted to do? Although she has grown from a flat chest to the current size, Aisha herself is satisfied, but she doesn't need to find a sense of accomplishment in this way!

Although Esther had behaved differently from other succubi, Aisha couldn't bet on whether Esther had learned ♀ badly over the years...... If that were the case, Aisha wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"I'm obsessed with the touch...... Well. Because it's Aisha, it's ♀ cute, so it's no problem. ”

"Which guy just said he wasn't a!!"

......

The girl is explaining......

"So to speak. In the final analysis, it's actually your ghost - and you actually said that Sister Wei also came with you, I haven't seen you for so long, Easter, your verbal ability is really getting better and better. ”

Aisha didn't expect it either. Among them. There is even the participation of Sister Wei, who has always been respected. With Aisha's understanding of her, it would have been impossible for her to be involved in such a nonsense thing, even if it had a very important purpose...... However, it seems that because of the mental state that has become younger along with the body after waking up, the current Sister Wei (or Xiao Wei) has become a lot more troublesome than in the past......

[My sister Wei has become a bear child!]

"There is a chance to see the Spirit of water and the Spirit of fire again...... Even if those are no longer the two people I am familiar with. But I don't think she's going to refuse this temptation as the eldest sister, right? Aisha, will you blame me for using your sister?"

"Don't look at Sister Wei's jumping and noisy appearance now, she is shrewd, since she will agree, it must have been carefully considered, and it can't be said whether to use it or not-but, having said that, there is not much hope, right?"

Aisha is actually the one who knows best.

In the final analysis, compared to Xiao Wei, Aisha, who has tried to understand and failed at the same time, is the one who understands the difficulties the most. Even with the help of the opportunity of the timeline disorder, it is still impossible to resurrect the two sisters who have been closely linked to the entire world...... Maybe Xiao Wei also knows the way, but he is just clear, but after all, he still can't let go of that impulse, right?

"How is Sister Wei now?"

"Rolling back and forth in her palace - just as I was leaving, she was dragging your student on the ground with her, and although she was hit to a certain extent, she didn't have to worry about her mental condition. ”

It's better to say that Xiao Wei, who is completely dead, is a lot easier, right?

"What about you, what is your purpose - I said, don't fool me with stupid things like 'Oh, I just want to take this opportunity to meet you who are shy~'. ”

"Oops, I just want to...... Ahem. In Aisha's angry glare, Esther coughed embarrassedly twice, and quickly told the truth, "My words are just trying to change my race." ”

"Yours have kept this dream alive......"

"Moreover, the situation is developing in the direction of getting better and better!" As soon as he said this, East became a little excited, "My dream will definitely be fulfilled one day! This time, the most stubborn trouble has been solved, and one day in the future, those people of mine can set foot on this land and look at the blue sky that is completely different from the Demon Realm!"

"Fortunately, the mouth at that time didn't miss your life. ”

"To me, that's the truth - it's ridiculous that we succubi, born with a pair of wings, can't even have freedom. ”

"That's what I said......"

"Why did you suddenly cover your head and sigh desperately?"

"I'm having a headache, how do I go back and explain to the people at home - I pretended to be 13 before, and this time I might be stripped naked and tied to the bed until I was dehydrated......"

"Can I look at !!?"

"Leave Me Alone......" (To be continued......
