Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 862 The End of a Long Journey

Lauren's strength is returning.

"Star Power" is like a clear spring that can nourish the soul, constantly filling the emptiness in his body.The poison of corruption has been dispelled, and the furious corpse has returned to silence.Pure power is slowly replacing those impurities, making Loren stronger and stronger.

But no one can answer his question - what is he?
He is not a hero who saves the world, nor is he a disaster who destroys the world.Thousands of years ago, he clearly had no responsibilities or obligations, but he continued the fate of mankind at the cost of his own life.

"What on earth was I doing at that time?"

Ophelia and Huanghua know the answer, and the Golden Capital also knows the answer, but they don't want to know the answer themselves.Is it because my past self made wrong choices?Or do they just want to prevent themselves from knowing the past?

Ophelia once said she wanted to give him an ordinary life, but she failed.Huanghua wanted to bear his fate on his behalf, but she also failed.

So what does the Golden City want to do?

"What did Mingye see again?"

The recurrence of disaster in the Golden City is not just to test mankind, but to allow Loren to make another choice.Ming Ye, who inherited the "eye", must have seen some truth that she should not know, so she rushed to conduct a small-scale rehearsal before the Golden Capital.

But humans did not understand her intentions, so when the real disaster struck, all the glory turned into a night's dream.

"Where did Ye Ying go again?"

Can the "hero" who was born by collecting human beings' wishes really save the world and human beings?Although the answer was most likely no, Luo Lun felt that Ye Ying would not really do anything stupid.

Although that guy has never been very likable, maybe that's just because he is so perfect.Luo Lun sometimes thinks, if Ye Ying had exchanged identities with him from the beginning, would he have done better than himself?
Because the answer he got every time was yes, that's why Luo Lun had always been biased against Ye Ying.

"Maybe I really disrupted everything."

This conclusion is both unproven and meaningless, so Lauren is just complaining about his incompetence.If he could do better, maybe many people wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

A person's journey will eventually make people feel lonely. Even if you have a clear goal, the final journey is still very long.

It would be nice if there was someone to talk to.

"Huh... I have been exhausted these days. Feed me, servant. Are you okay now?" 』

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have always ignored her existence.Although she was always by his side, Lauren couldn't even think of her name when the two couldn't communicate.

"not too good."

After briefly talking about the current situation, Lauren finally felt a little at ease.Although there was a trace of doubt instinctively in his heart, he didn't want to doubt anything now.

"...That's it, but I don't have any good news here.The calculation mechanism of the Golden City suddenly went into chaos a few days ago. It seems that there was something wrong with the academy. 』

"The trouble is, I can't contact the academy at all right now."

"Your terminal must have been tampered with by the Golden City, but I should be able to fix it.Just connect the terminal that carries me to yours, and I will help you eliminate interference from the Golden City. 』

Although there seemed to be some subtle murmurs in his heart, Laurent actually didn't have much worries.Even if Rachel has a clear connection with the Golden Capital, and may even be one of the dependents of the Golden Capital like Jing and Luvina, he will not doubt her.

"But even if you contact the academy, they probably won't be able to help you.The Golden City has allocated more than half of its resources to the academy, and I don't know what the problem is there. 』

But this may be a good thing. The Golden Capital is now drawing most of the attention of the academy, which means that it has little spare power to interfere with itself.

"Anyway, I will try my best to help... Hey servant, what are you doing?" 』

"Can I completely trust you, Miss?"

"Hmph, I thought you were really that simple idiot.Of course not, you know it yourself. 』

Rachel didn't say anything nice to deceive Lauren. Perhaps she was so arrogant that she never allowed herself to lie from the beginning.Even though she might represent the will of the Golden City, she didn't intend to use deceitful words in front of Laurent.

"This lady is different from A Jing and Lu. Although they have integrated some functions of the Golden City, their personal wills are still independent.And this young lady has been in this strange state since you found her. What do you think this young lady is now? 』

The Golden Capital has always been interfering in the human world, but no one knows what its purpose is.No one can answer why a device used to monitor the operation of the mirror world would behave in such irrational ways.

"Don't trust anyone, even if their intention is to protect you.You have your own mission that must be completed, and the meaning of your own existence...but you must find the answer yourself. 』

"Is it Rachel or the Golden Capital who gave me these tips?"

"Whatever you think, I don't have that much time to accompany you to interpret life." 』

In fact, it doesn't matter who it is. Lauren didn't lose the courage to move forward, nor was he afraid of getting the real answer.He just wants to get affirmation-to prove that the path under his feet is not wrong.

"Okay, I will help you fix the terminal, but I guess I won't be able to come out and chat with you again."Just do what you think is right and don't have any regrets. 』

"Thank you."

"Thank you, how long have we known each other... Take care. 』

The strange disk gradually disintegrated in Lauren's hand and merged into the academy terminal implanted in his wrist.The interference in the Golden City gradually dissipated, and the terminal that could not be started started self-test again... Soon, Laurent would be able to contact the academy again.

"Do what I think is right."

The Golden City will not care about the outcome, it will only watch from above as Lauren reaches the end of this long journey.In the end, only Lauren himself knows how to define this journey.

The disaster that happened a thousand years ago, the regrets left by the past self, the obsessions of Ophelia and Huanghua, the reasons for setting the stage in the Golden City - will these questions be answered one by one at the end of the journey?
Lauren didn't know.

"Call the Academy of the Brave, this is Lauren."
