There is a dry breath in the air in the summer afternoon, and the transparent cloud shadows are slowly moving northward, crossing the city skyline, casting clear reflections on the leaves of the glass trees. The Temple of Heaven is in
The appearance has never changed in the past billions of years. The war only left a scar that was neither deep nor shallow, but the essence remains the same. Themis of Heaven couldn't help but think that many years later, she met another person in this city.
Are people like her also destined?
But she didn't dare to imagine that kind of thing happening, and she didn't want to replace the shadow of another person with a shadow in her heart, so she slightly turned her eyes away, avoiding Saint Xalia's gaze, and said softly: "You, look for
What's wrong with me?"
Saint Xalia let out a sigh, with a puzzled expression on her face: "Don't you have something to do with me?"
"But just now...you asked me to come out..."
"Because I know you have something to ask me for." Saint Xalia's tone was still so matter-of-fact, as if everything had been expected by her. She was not a character in the script, but an objective and cautious audience, with some kind of
The gift of discerning opportunities can even see through people's hearts.
Themis of the Heaven Realm was surprised and a little confused. No wonder she didn't turn around and leave without getting a response like she usually did, but persisted until she was finally willing to show up. In other words, was this for her own sake? The girl suddenly
It gave rise to an extremely complicated mood.
So sharp and so gentle.
Isn't this kind of sensitivity and gentleness exactly the same as that person?
I clearly have tried very hard to separate you, so why do you always ask me to uncontrollably put your figures back together at certain times? This is not a good thing, because that person is still under the mirror star.
Sleeping, I don’t hope that one day you will end up with the same ending.
Will people with the same qualities inevitably follow the same path? When thinking about this question, the girl will inevitably feel a little sad. This sour feeling is like the green apple hanging on the branch, which has not yet reached its ripening season.
However, reality is far more profound than philosophical issues. In order to prevent herself from falling deeper into the areas that she is not good at, Themis of Heaven quickly put all those bad premonitions behind her. After considering her tone, she slowly spoke:
"I...do have something I want to tell you."
"Hmm." Saint Xalia asked, "What's the matter?"
"I might...may have to leave for a while."
"Leave?" Saint Xalia was a little puzzled: "Are you going to leave the Heavenly Temple? But before Mother fell asleep, she once told us not to come to the world without authorization and interfere with the civilization of mortals. Themis of Heaven, I think
, would it be better not to disobey mother’s words?”
Saint Xalia looked at her seriously, her eyes were clear and flawless, full of sincerity and concern. This unreserved gaze clearly had no sense of oppression, but it suddenly made the girl breathless. She was really a
You obedient girl, as long as your mother has said it, you will definitely remember it in your heart and strictly abide by it... unlike me.
If only I could have been more obedient at that time...
The girl looked away with difficulty, and the tip of her nose suddenly felt a little sore. But she resisted the urge to cry, squeezed the dry air into her lungs, and tried to make her tone as calm as possible, but still had some
An unstoppable vibrato: "No, not to the Mirror Star, but to the Earth. Do you know the Earth?"
"Earth?" Saint Xalia blinked: "I seem to have heard my mother mention that there is a device called the Heavenly Boundary Bridge hidden underground under the Game Command Company. Through it, you can go to another world.
. However, I have never seen what it looks like."
No, actually you have seen it, you have always seen it.
Just raise your head and look at the surrounding buildings, those broken streets, those collapsed and broken high-rise buildings, and those books filled with fairy tales and incredible stories...including the city under your feet, they all come from that distant world. However, sometimes
It is also close at hand, such as the relationship between the inside and outside of a mirror. You can reach out and touch it.
Will you feel a deep yearning for this? Want to know more, and indulge in fantasies that violate reason and natural laws. There was once such a person. For her, the world was never a thin illusion.
It is an amusement park full of surprises and expectations, a kingdom of dreams, and a place where your wishes belong.
However, she is also sleeping now, in that distant place far away from her hometown, alone and helpless. The girl often hears her crying in her dreams, hears her questioning in a desperate voice, and muttering to herself in tired dreams.
. She woke up from her sleep with panic. She stood in the empty and deserted corridor and looked out, but she only saw a deep and unknown night. Under the glass canopy like an umbrella, a sunless sea was shrouded.
tidal.
The city is so empty. It doesn't seem more lively because there are more people, nor does it seem more lonely because there are fewer people. For hundreds of millions of years, everything she has witnessed, laughter or joy, melancholy or sadness... those
They are all temporary and will not stay for a long time.
Saint Xalia looked at the girl in front of her strangely and cautiously. She had never seen such a special person before. Her emotions were extremely sensitive and slender, and she seemed to easily fall into a state of reminiscence and sentimentality. There must be something hidden in her body.
There were many stories, maybe some sad stories, that she could not forget for a long time, and she was often immersed in them, so that even though she was standing here, she seemed to be isolated from the whole world, with an alienated and fragile temperament.
There was a faint echo of the surging sea tide in the distance, and the sea of fog and clouds beat against the rocks on the edge of the city. The noise crashed into the tranquility of the summer afternoon.
"I……"
In the silent commotion, the silver-haired girl finally spoke, her voice was very soft and thin, as if she was speaking to herself. Deep in her golden eyes, there were soft memories that could only be touched by the afternoon light: "I'm going to Earth to meet a person.
people."
Saint Xalia nodded in understanding, deliberately not mentioning the girl's absent-minded performance just now, but changed the subject empathetically: "It must be a very important person, right?"
"Yes." Heavenly Themis said: "She is yours..."
Sister?
The girl suddenly got stuck again. She still couldn't say this sentence, and the reason was the same as before. If she didn't fulfill her duty as a sister, how could she have the nerve to call herself this?
After realizing this, she immediately changed the topic, but compared with Saint Xalia's conversational skills, it was obviously a bit stiff: "I need your help, Saint Xalia. Opening the Heavenly Boundary Bridge requires a huge amount of magic power.
,But, but I don’t have that much magic power.”
To be precise, there is not that much magic power that can be called upon - unlike the Queen's Queen's Power, the magic power authority possessed by Themis of Heaven exists to maintain the normal operation of the Heavenly Temple and the control center. If it is called without authorization
, may cause the two of them to fall into an abnormal state, so she has always been very cautious and never takes any chances.
"If I can help you, I will be happy." St. Shalia agreed without hesitation, and asked again: "How long will you be away, Themis of Heaven?"
"Not long...but for you, it should be a long time."
Seeing the confused look on St. Shalia's face, Themis of the Heaven explained to her the difference in time flow rate between the Earth and the Mirror Star. In fact, before that, she had quietly gone to the Earth several times, but every time
She only stayed for a short period of time before returning, and since she rarely appeared in front of Saint Shalia, the girl probably didn't notice anything unusual.
But this time is different. According to the feedback from the monitoring device she left behind on Earth, Alice, who has been sleeping for a long time, seems to be showing signs of waking up, but her brain's nerve fluctuations are showing a very strange state, a bit like rotten...
A plot often used in popular novels - amnesia.
In order to confirm Alice's condition and take preventive measures in advance, Themis of Heaven decided to go to Earth and take care of her personally. If Alice really loses her memory, there may be some ways to retrieve her memory. However,
To be honest, will young queens also lose their memory? Their souls and spirits are far better than ordinary people, so theoretically they will not encounter such a situation. The possibility that Themis in Heaven can think of is that Alice experienced that incident
After the heavy blow, I instinctively closed my mind and resisted recalling the past.
If so, it is still a bit hesitant to help her recover her memory. Would it be easier to accept it if we started from her interests and hobbies? For example, games?
But these are things for the future. For now, there is no need to consider it. The only thing that is certain is that Themis in the heaven will leave for a long time. Judging from the time flow rate of the mirror star, it may be as long as
It may not be calculated in units of thousands of years.
"So during this period, the Heavenly Temple will be left to you, Saint Shalia." The girl asked her seriously: "Please help me take care of it, and..."
She pursed her lips and said, "Take care of yourself and others too."
Although for such a long time, because of some extremely complicated psychology that was mixed with guilt and fear, she had been deliberately hiding herself and unwilling to show up, but in fact she had been taking care of them silently. She was familiar with everyone's personality.
Knowing their respective preferences, he would occasionally indirectly hint at his existence through various secret ways. For example, when Olvera wanted to read a certain book but could not find it, she would secretly read it in the city library.
Find the book and put it on the bedside when she is sleeping; or when Leticia and Lilithi are quarreling, secretly give them one or two star gummy candies, so that they mistakenly think they are from each other, so
They reconciled, but later found out that the person who sent the candy was not the other party...
I just don’t know why, but I have the instinct to hide myself, and I am afraid that they will discover the existence of this alien species. It is such a contradictory mentality.
In a sense, the girl is actually a qualified sister, although she does not think so.
Saint Xalia hesitated: "Give me the Heavenly Temple...can I really do it? I don't mean to refuse, but I have never been in contact with you, so I am a little worried about betraying your trust.
"
Her unconfident tone was really like her past self. However, at that time, she was just a little girl facing the world for the first time, and Saint Xalia was already a qualified sister. Would she also have such worries?
Themis of Heaven couldn't help but sigh, and then comforted: "It doesn't matter, this is just like you maintaining the balance of the laws of the universe, it is something that is easy to understand. Moreover, you are not alone, there are others supporting you behind the scenes,
Isn't it?"
Hearing her mention her sisters, Saint Xalia couldn't help but have a smile on her lips, but this smile was more of an instinctive reaction as a sister, and reason told her that this might not be the case: "Lilithi
, Leticia and Eve are still children, so I’m afraid they can’t help; Olvera, Lorena and Dimes are all focusing on their own hobbies, and I can’t bear to disturb them; Feir, Glory
Ya and Ieta are either naughty or slow, so they are not suitable for this kind of thing; the only people who can help may be Carabosse, Xino and Pereca. The latter two are okay, but Carabosse
His character is a bit...stern."
Themis of Heaven was keenly aware of the implication of her words: "Do you and Carabosse have any conflicts?"
"It's too serious to say it's a contradiction." Saint Xalia shook her head slowly: "It's just that her views on some things are different from mine. Most of the time, she respects my opinions. But, I don't want that either.
She always compromises, so..."
How similar.
The girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This scene gave her a feeling of déjà vu. Those memories had clearly passed a long time ago, but standing here, she felt that they had never left.
At that time, I seemed to be facing the same problem, and in the end it was my mother who helped me make the decision. If my mother was still there, he would definitely have a way, right? However, he was already asleep, and he was not him after all.
So when faced with the same problem, I am helpless and don’t know what advice to give. You are so incompetent, Themis of Heaven, you obviously have this name, but you are always so weak...
This, name?
A memory from a long time ago suddenly appeared in the girl's mind——
"I'll give you my name."
"From now on, you are Themis of Heaven, the thought I left behind in this world. My emotions are your emotions, and my memory is your memory. Then, the decision you make will
These are all decisions I approve of.”
"No need to worry, no need to hesitate, no need to be confused, just become the kind of person you want to be."
"My dearest child, Themis of Heaven."
…
The girl was confused and seemed to realize something.
Is this really appropriate?
However, if it were your mother, you would definitely say this, right?
That's right, she is no longer the heaven, but Themis of the heaven, the person who inherited the name of the great goddess Crown. If at this moment, she does not represent her own will, but the will of the goddess Crown
, then, what she said next will undoubtedly bring with it a sense of sacredness and destiny.
Destiny is just a reincarnation.
"emotion."
She said to the bewildered Saint Xalia, her serious look did not look like she was speaking, but a familiar shadow many years ago was wandering in the slender gap of light, going against an invisible path.
The river went up and became her shadow at this moment: "When you don't know how to make a choice, just use your emotions to make a judgment. I believe it will be correct."
The girl's tone was so solemn that she seemed to be proclaiming one of the most insurmountable truths in the world: "Because sincere emotions will never hurt anyone."
That's right, recognize your emotions, and then face them.
It'll be okay.
In the past tragedy, the fault was the person who betrayed the emotion, not the emotion itself. But you are in this heavenly temple far away from the world, and you are destined not to have any interaction with mortals. In this case, why worry about emotion?
What about worrying about betrayal, or even worrying about emotional betrayal?
It will definitely... be okay.
Somewhere in the dark, the girl heard her own voice.
