Chapter 55 "The Future"
……
The shimmering light dances like gold, the still shadow sinks like jade.
Seele's arrival broke the tranquility of the shallow water; she was barefoot, as if sensing something.
Yun Fuyu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to it, and then, slightly embarrassed by Xi'er's teasing look, she turned her head away. After a while, she spoke: "Xi'er, what's the difference between today's calculation and yours?"
Seele sat down beside him, smoothing out the wrinkles in her short skirt, and said with a hint of surprise, "It's almost exactly the same as reality. The power of dreams is truly extraordinary. I'm becoming more and more curious about your identity."
Yun Fuyu muttered to herself, "What kind of identity could I possibly have... Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore."
He waved his hand and erased all the images floating in the air. Among those images were the little gray cat that was the incarnation of the Great Free Heaven, Yun Fuyu knocking Xier down, the doctor carefully performing surgery on Xier, Hen chatting with the dejected Yun Fuyu, Mebius bewitching Yun Fuyu, and Yun and Xier eating while petting cats in the pavilion...
Okay, where should we begin explaining?
The day I returned from the Sea of Quanta.
The moment their fingertips touched, a strange power flowed through their bodies, transporting them back to a pre-civilized world. The events they had experienced before felt like a wondrous dream, leaving them unsure of whether it was real or not.
Because they had entered the dream again, Yun Fuyu and Xier began to study that special power—the power that could modify the etheric singularity and take them through the quantum sea.
After some trial and error, Seele accidentally and coincidentally attached this power to an object she "imagined"—an object that allows her to obtain things in her dreams simply by imagining what she wants and then using the Honkai energy within her body.
In that instant, the paper suddenly floated in the air, conjuring a trajectory out of thin air. If there had been a system notification, it would probably have said, "Congratulations, you have discovered a new method of using authority. You can use this authority to predict the future trajectory of an object one day from now."
These are all feelings that suddenly appear in my mind, mysterious and difficult to express directly.
Afterwards, Yun Fuyu and Xier discussed how to use this power, and then together they made a daring decision: to cover the other person with the power and perform a future prediction!
Because this power requires the combined efforts of both of them to achieve its special effect, and because their power is only enough to deduce one person at a time, Seele knows what Yun Fuyu will do next, and Yun Fuyu knows what Seele will do next. If neither of them had been able to actively control and block out some of the holy light effects, this situation would have been incredibly awkward...
Finally, today's experience will be used to verify the accuracy of this "future prediction." The answer is that even though they have written a script, the things that happen during the prediction that are not in the script, such as the sudden appearance of Möbius, can be perfectly mapped onto reality!
The power of dreams is indeed too wondrous. Especially when it is sensed that it is not called "power" but some kind of "authority," it is even more intriguing.
--------
Seele speculated that Cloud-Assisted Rain might be related to the Herrscher of the End.
Although Yun Fuyu didn't know, Xi'er understood that he wasn't an ordinary person, but a special being born from the Imaginary Tree, who, theoretically, shouldn't exist in this world. And the phrase "You descended upon the chalky land with the meteorite" clearly referred to "He descended upon the end of time, countless years ago!"
This wonderful feeling was like a kitten tickling Seele's heart, which made her especially curious.
Of course, Seele's affection for Yun Fuyu largely stemmed from him personally, and had little to do with his identity. In the dark world of the past, it was he who foolishly said he would save Seele, and as her memories became more rosy, Seele seemed to feel increasingly...
------
Yun Fuyu speculated that this power might be related to the Herrscher of Origin? After all, this dreamscape was very similar to Alicia's Origin Land, so if there was anything special about it, that was the only possible guess.
Since he controls the dream realm, and Seele is both a Herrscher and connected to his fate, it seems highly likely that the two of them could work together to unleash some special abilities.
------
Nevertheless, while the ability to predict the future is powerful, it doesn't seem to be of much use to Yun Fuyu and Seele. Seele is a Herrscher, and Yun Fuyu can share one-third of her power, which is essentially at the peak of human combat strength.
However, from then on, before each major event, they would try to predict the future and see how things would unfold. Right now, two things were of utmost importance: First, would Seele's disguise be exposed? Second, would Yun Fuyu's participation in the fusion warrior surgery be successful?
The future is constantly changing, but they have been given a chance to change their minds.
……
……
Three days later in the blink of an eye.
For newcomers, the task involves reading five books, completing in-person training, and finally participating in simulated combat within three days. This is a preliminary assessment to see if you have the aptitude for learning and fighting.
After passing the test, you'll be given at least a week of training, and then the entire recruit team will go to the battlefield—the same battlefield where Yun Fuyu had his chance encounter with Hua. This mission isn't particularly meaningful, and it's unlikely to eliminate anyone based on it.
Next comes a very important point: In the past, each combatant had their own special operations squad, and missions were basically assigned to these squads, with each person receiving more specific tasks within their squad.
But now that Mei has taken over, she plans to update this multi-layered management structure, forming small operational units of three people each, with information directly logged into the central management database, and tasks being received and executed in these small teams.
In other words, Yun Fuyu and Xier will eventually be organized or assigned to a three-person team.
Because Yun Fuyu was a special case, with Möbius waiting to perform surgery on him, no one was urging him to form a team. During this time, Yun Fuyu had always obeyed orders and followed commands on missions, readily accepting any task.
Therefore, Yun Fuyu's longing to team up with Xier is both factual and psychological.
Actually, he had thought about this a long time ago... well, a few days ago. At that time, he imagined himself + Seele + Alicia as the perfect Peach team! However, he has not seen Alicia even once yet, and he doesn't know what she looks like in reality?
Therefore, the important things next became three: in addition to Seele's disguise and his fusion warrior surgery, there was also the need to find out information about Alicia.
As for Seele's recruit assessment, Yun Fuyu, being a member of the Fire Moth, couldn't participate. He could only train her while praying for her safety... Well, worrying too much might be making him confused. Seele is the Herrscher of Death, who could possibly hurt her?
