Chapter 60 Wishing you success
Chapter 60 Wishing you success
……
The weather wasn't too cold yet, and the spicy hot pot was indeed very hot. The girl's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat condensed on her fair forehead. When she noticed his gaze, she glared at him shyly and with a hint of displeasure... but in his eyes, it was probably just a coquettish pout, not a sign of dissatisfaction.
He propped his head up with one hand, watching with a smile as Xi'er ate to her heart's content, and suddenly remembered the first time he met Xi'er. The girl would always watch him eat his fill with a smile after starting the fire and cooking. It was at that moment that she suddenly transformed from a character in a story into a real person in his life.
Perhaps she was embarrassed by his gaze, because Xi'er put down her chopsticks, wiped her lips, and her originally pink lips became even redder. She really should have been advised to eat less spicy food...
Seele asked, "Are you really okay with tomorrow...?"
Yun Fuyu: "Who can guarantee that completely? Even if I am confident, I have already signed a body donation agreement."
Seele seemed to choke, but had nothing to say. It was his decision, and she had neither the right nor the need to interfere.
Yun Fuyu twirled her chopsticks like a pen: "You should know that in today's world, power is extremely important. I want power to protect the people I want to protect, it's that simple."
Seele suddenly countered, "Protect the Seele you used to know?"
"...Yes, that's right. But what I want to say is that I don't want to see you as a substitute for her, because you are you and she is her; because you are Seele and she is Seele."
The subtle shift in tone also gives the name "Seele" a double meaning. It refers both to Seele in the play and Seele in real life, and also to two Seeles with slightly different personalities (Death and Creation).
Seele: "If we fail, will you die?"
Yun Fuyu: "If I die, will you be sad for me?"
Seele's expression became subtle: "Yes, but not for you, but for any life."
She directly shut down the question about the strange atmosphere in Yunfuyu.
So Yun Fuyu said nothing more. There was no sadness, no sorrow, only endless—bewilderment.
……
……
As the bright moon hung high in the purple sky, Seele silently waded through the shallow water and carefully sat down beside him.
She said, "If you really leave, I'll probably be sad."
Yun Fuyu didn't deliberately look at her, but instead focused on outlining the "future projection" of tomorrow while smiling and saying, "I'm honored."
After a moment of silence, Seele stood up to help, using the power of dreams to predict tomorrow's outcome.
The other person, outlined by their thoughts, merges with the imagined world. Their fingertips touch, and the situation of each other's next day appears in their memories in an incredible way.
Only when their strength was nearly exhausted did their fingertips reluctantly separate. They opened their eyes and met gazes, then both unconsciously glanced to the other side.
After calming herself down, Yun Fuyu spoke first: "I see your future. Train as usual during the day, then ask for leave in the afternoon and try to find out more about Möbius..."
Why would Seele check Mebius at this time? There can only be one reason: she's using Mebius's information to check on Yun Fuyu's safety.
So when he described what he saw, his voice grew softer and softer, and he skipped over the rest.
Seele steadied herself, forcing herself not to think too much, and then said, "I can't tell if you're safe for the time being. The fusion surgery will take at least twelve hours, and you'll be in a long coma afterward. Möbius said that a coma of up to three days is normal, and anything over five days is something to be wary of."
Yun: "There's nothing we can do about that. I might not be able to appear in the dream anymore. This is all the future we can see."
Seele asked curiously, "Theoretically speaking, the fusion surgery changes your body, right? Dreams are obviously dependent on the mind, so why do you say they might not appear here?"
Yun Fuyu shook her head: "I have some vague guesses about the dream, but I'll tell you after I verify it myself. It won't be long; it should be fine after the fusion surgery."
He guessed that the dream was related to Alicia's origin, and was certainly not a simple physical or mental dependence. After the fusion surgery, Mebius was going to grant him a chance to communicate with Alicia as promised, which was currently the quickest and most convenient way to see her.
Seele nodded silently.
She turned around, looked at the boundless purple starry sky and the endless sea of stars, and silently closed her eyes.
Wishing you success, may the clouds bring you rain.
------
As I wish.
……
……
The swirling starry sea and the seven-colored souls were drawn into Erinis's belly.
Seele didn't share her strange dream with him because, although she found it strange, she only thought it was a bizarre dream without any reason.
The next day, after watching Yun Fuyu enter the Möbius Laboratory from afar, she silently continued with her life. During training, she sprained her ankle, and the squad leader told her to go home and rest.
Lying sprawled out on her bed, Seele tossed and turned repeatedly.
She shouldn't worry about that person, because he was just a stranger; "Seele" had only known him for less than half a month.
"so annoying."
Seele turned over again, staring blankly at the computer screen not far away, when a new idea suddenly popped into her head.
Why don't you look up Möbius?
During her time at Flamecha, Seele often heard rumors about Möbius. She was said to be a terrifying mad scientist who enjoyed wantonly modifying innocent volunteers; almost no one who entered her lab ever came out standing. She received countless warnings from the United Nations and Flamecha executives, but she paid no heed, and no one could stop her…
Now that Yun Fuyu is in her hands, things don't look good at all.
"I'll do it!" Seele jumped up, hopped on one foot to the computer desk, and sat down. Somewhat awkwardly, she turned on the computer and searched for "Mebius" on the Firemoth internal forum.
The methods were very rudimentary and inefficient. The actions yielded no tangible results.
But it was a girl's heartfelt concern.
Oh, right, and that gray kitten too. It seems to have gotten to know Seele already. After Seele bathed and groomed it, it finally showed its original fur color—a mix of creamy gray and white. Usually, it sleeps lazily on Seele's balcony during the day and goes out to play at night. Right now, it's pacing gracefully on Seele's computer desk, occasionally shaking its body.
Seele scrolled the mouse wheel with one hand and gently stroked its fur with the other: "Good boy~ I'm busy with something, can we go play somewhere else first?"
However, the wisdom of the Great Free Heaven is not that great. It can conform to Seele's ideas and disguise itself as a gray cat. It can understand Seele's simple instructions, but it cannot understand Seele and Cloud Rain's disguise plan.
Especially now, it is even less able to suppress its fear when faced with the possibility of other beings invading its position.
The clouds and rain blend together, which is the Great Free Heaven.
