Chapter 852 True and False Memories
This is not "Rosalyn's" memory, but something Ophelia has hidden.

Lauren knew why he saw this, because the Golden City is the owner of this record. Even if Ophelia wanted to keep her secret, it would be directly displayed by the Golden City like this.

So Ophelia may be competing with the Golden City for time... before she knows all the truth.

"What the hell are you thinking?"

Of course, no one in the illusion would answer Lauren's questions. The illusory scene gradually took shape in front of him, and a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure slowly became clear.

The purple-haired woman, who looked somewhat similar to Ophelia but exuded an evil and coquettish temperament, seemed very annoyed at this time.Red lightning kept emitting from her body, as if she was venting her emotions.

"Why... why doesn't this work? What should I do..."

Although her appearance was very similar to Ophelia in Lauren's memory, this woman felt more like a ferocious beast with human form to Lauren.The frantic power in that beautiful figure was not concealed at all, and even gave Lauren the illusion that "she might turn into a monster at any time."

"You haven't given up yet?"

As the cold voice sounded around, the figure of another woman slowly appeared next to the woman.And that person made Laurent feel familiar yet strange at the same time. The arrogant and cold beautiful figure and the deep and quiet blue flames were very similar to the Huang Hua he knew, but more like some kind of inhuman existence. .

"How could I give up! I already know the principle... As long as we create an existence similar to "disaster", we can bring 'him' back again!"

"No, if we do that, the world where humans live will be destroyed."

"They should have died last time!"

The figures of the two people suddenly shattered, and then reunited into another posture.The evil, frantic and cold arrogant figures appeared again, but this time, they seemed to have more human qualities.

"I failed again, that thing was contaminated by those guys."

"I know."

"There's no chance to try again... there's not enough time."

The woman who looked like Ophelia looked at the woman who looked like Huang Hua in front of her with some confusion. Her spirit seemed to have been severely exhausted, and it was probably difficult for her to continue to hold on.

"Are you going to give up?"

"It's been...almost 1000 years, right? I...may have to give up."

"No, there is one last chance."

The woman wrapped in blue flames slowly spoke out cold words, injecting a glimmer of hope into her friend who was about to burn out.However, what she said next only made Lauren feel a little shuddering.

"Get ready for reincarnation, and then give me 'that part' of you... I will use the rest to destroy the origin of the multidimensional world."

"Are you..."

"Do what we're supposed to do."

The "origin" of the multidimensional world is just a repair device left behind by the planet, but what is the "thing" they are supposed to do?
Before Lauren could start thinking, the scene in the illusion changed again.

The noble thing made entirely of blue flames burned up something like a "foundation".And standing under the ever-extinguishing flames was the woman who no longer had any frenzy, just like an ordinary human being.

"Huanghua...I'm sorry..."

"Go and make final preparations... 'He' is coming soon."

The last blue flames gradually gathered into a vague human shape, and the fate of that inhuman thing seemed to have come to an end.But this is not announcing the end, but the beginning of another destiny.

"Next time, let's meet again as humans."

As the last words faded away, everything gradually fell into darkness.However, at the last moment when the illusion was about to dissolve, Lauren saw a shining star streaking across the dark sky.

——That is what they have been persistently pursuing.

=====
"...This joke is not funny at all."

Lauren can no longer confirm what is true.

Before he was born, the origin of the multidimensional world and the device responsible for repairing the planet had been completely destroyed.Huang Hua and Ophelia just used the "something" they had left to destroy the hope left by ancient human civilization.The principles of the world were not shaken due to some kind of disaster, but because they directly destroyed the foundation of continuity.

"Did you see anything again, honey?"

Ophelia's voice came from behind, and Lauren realized that she was leaning on his back.Although the voice didn't sound much different from before, Laurent could detect a hint of weakness that she was desperately trying to hide.

Do those truths really make sense to you?Do you really care about the survival of the world and the fate of mankind?

"It's nothing important. The Golden Capital is probably trying to interfere with my judgment."

"Really... Rosalind came here specifically just to mislead you?"

Ophelia must have sensed something. The closer she gets to the finish line, the more secrets she wants to hide will be revealed.But no matter what, she had to move on.

"You promised not to lie to me, so I won't ask you anything you don't want to say."

"...You can obviously ask."

Lauren has never been a dull person, he just doesn't want to think about issues that can make people depressed most of the time.But now he has a clear premonition that no matter what Ophelia plans to do in the end, there may not be a happy ending.

Can he stop her in the end?In other words, can I protect her from harm?

"Then let me ask a question."

"……Um."

Ophelia is not a great actress, nor does she have a strong will.Lauren knew that she had been hiding her true feelings, whether it was cunning calculations or ruthless ridicule, it was just a poor disguise that she deliberately showed on the outside.

There is actually no difference between her and Huang Hua.

"After all the trouble is sorted out, do you have any plans?"

"Huh? I..."

Lauren knew that there would be no answer to this question, and Ophelia had never thought about the future from the beginning——

"If not, just go traveling with me, and of course Huang Hua... you can go anywhere."

Because in the future she designed, there is no place for herself.
