Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

Otto used all his strength to finally squeeze out the words from his throat: "Lihua, use the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire..."

Seeing Otto's painful expression as he recalled the past, Fu Hua waved her hand, signaling him not to say anything more: "I roughly understand, but what else do you want me to do for you? If I were there at the time, it would be easy to destroy the Herrscher, but now that the matter has been settled, there is nothing I can do."

"You, do you have any way to save her?!"

Seeing that Fu Hua was trying to shirk responsibility, the anxious Otto knelt down in front of her without any hesitation and begged, "You are an immortal, a warrior who has lived from the last era to the present! You must have a way to save her, right?"

"Ugh......"

Seeing Otto desperately pleading with his last straw, Fu Hua opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just shook her head and sighed: "The dead cannot be resurrected, this is the iron law of the world. No matter how great or gentle a person is, when she dies, she will never come back again."

"Since you are the holder of the key, you should also know about the things in the previous era. You know what I am talking about."

"But, but..."

Otto opened his mouth, and it seemed as if he had thousands of words to say in his heart, but when he reached his lips, he couldn't say even a word.

The only thing I could do was to sit there and stare blankly ahead.

"Is there really no possibility at all?"

Fu Hua, who had already stood up and walked towards her traitors, finally stopped when she heard Otto's pleading voice behind her.

"...Do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Reincarnation...?"

Otto looked at Fu Hua blankly, but she didn't even turn her head. She just said calmly: "Even if the body dies, the soul will still be reincarnated. Maybe ten years, maybe thousands of years, but as long as you live long enough, one day you will be able to see the person you want to see again - there was such a saying in the previous era."

"Is that true?"

"I don't know." Fu Hua said frankly, "But it would be a lot more convenient if we believed in it, right? Many of them had this idea in the past. After all, if they did, they wouldn't have to fear separation and death anymore - although there was one person who didn't believe in these things at all."

"Past lives are all illusory things. She only believes in the present, so for those who pin their hopes on the future... Alas, there is no point in telling you this."

"If you believe in the existence of the soul and look forward to meeting that person again, then live well and wait for the day of reunion. If you don't believe in reincarnation, then hold on to her dream and let her name live in history and in everyone's heart."

"...Thank you, Immortal."

Otto stood up silently, bowed deeply to Fu Hua who had her back to him, then turned around silently and started down the mountain.

He doesn't believe in souls, but if this is the only possibility to save Lihua, he will believe it without hesitation.

Otto must survive, fight against the Honkai, and become the savior of this world, just as Lihua said.

Let Lihua see a better world when she is reborn.

......

A long time after Otto left, Fu Hua, who was standing there, let out a barely perceptible sigh.

And the traitors who were hung up in front of her could hear this sigh with their extraordinary senses.

"How come a heartless and bloodless immortal can actually sigh over other people's misfortunes?"

The red-haired girl who was hung the highest was Su Mei, the second disciple trained by Fu Hua herself. Even though she had a bruised face and nose, she still tried her best to show a mocking smile to Fu Hua.

But in this smile, there is a kind of unspeakable sadness.

"Even if a stranger encounters suffering, the immortal will empathize with him. But if someone is possessed by a demon or unfortunately has a demonic aura enter his body, then even if he is a disciple he has been with day and night, the immortal will kill him without hesitation."

Faced with the resentment of her disciples, Fu Hua did not open her mouth to refute, but silently walked towards a disciple who was hanging in the middle.

The girl lowered her head without saying a word, but a few strands of her long purple hair were strangely pale.

This is a sign of being infected by Honkai energy. It can even be said that he is on the verge of becoming a dead soldier. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before he becomes a mindless monster controlled by Honkai.

This person was none other than Jiang Wanru, the fourth disciple of Taixu Mountain, who believed that anyone who entered the devil must be killed.

"Master..." The woman finally raised her head slowly until Fu Hua walked in front of her, but she still didn't dare to look directly at Fu Hua. "Everyone did this because of me. I hope Master can punish me for the sake of their fellow disciples' friendship..."

"Friendship among fellow students."

Fu Hua chewed on these two words, then shook her head as if she found it funny: "Your fellow disciples' friendship is so strong that you don't even care about the lintel itself."

Faced with Fu Hua's sharp words, Jiang Wanru could not think of any other response except to remain silent.

"That's all, it's over now, it's useless to say more."

Fu Hua didn't seem to want to say anything more to her group of traitors, and calmly raised her hand towards Jiang Wanru.

The third disciple Jiang Wanxi was furious when she saw her sister was about to be killed by Fu Hua: "No!! Master, you can't - I beg you!!!"

Unlike her sister, Jiang Wanru herself seemed much calmer: "Forget it, Wanxi, everything is fate... It's already a great rebellion to attack Master for such a thing."

"Master, Wanru has been with us day and night for so long, you know what a good child she is!" The eldest disciple Lin Chaoyu, who was originally hung on the side with a pale face, also pleaded at this time, "Please let her go, even if it means letting Wanxi take her to a deserted island far away from human habitation, at least save her life!"

Except for the fifth disciple Cheng Lingshuang and the second disciple Su Mei, almost everyone else was pleading for their fellow apprentice sisters.

However, Su Mei just sneered disdainfully: "Don't you know her character yet? The blood of this immortal is cold! If you want her to let go of the possessed person, you might as well pray that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east... A mere disciple, as long as he is touched by the devil's aura, is no different from a monster in her eyes!"

As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent. As the people closest to Fu Hua, they knew how cold Fu Hua was when facing people who were possessed by the devil. Although what Su Mei said was very rude to her master, they couldn't help but agree with it in their hearts.

"...That's it."

A rare flash of confusion flashed across Fu Hua's eyes, but she quickly returned to her calm look.

"I thought that if we were together day and night, we would be able to understand each other without saying much, but this was just wishful thinking."

With a flick of her sleeves, Fu Hua accurately put the pill in her hand into Jiang Wanru's mouth.

She had no intention of killing her apprentice when she raised her hand. She just wanted to give her apprentice the anti-collapse drug she had obtained from her comrades.

What he didn't expect was that his apprentice's disgust and misunderstanding of him had reached this point.

"In your eyes, am I a person without blood or tears?"

Fu Hua slowly closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and turned to leave.

"Wanru has evil spirits entering his body, but he is not yet beyond help. This medicine can dissolve his evil spirits, but his internal strength will also be completely dissipated. Please take good care of him in the future."

"For the crime of killing your master, you will be suspended here for ten days as a punishment. From now on, you and I, master and disciple, will never see each other again."

Fu Hua left Taixu Mountain, where she had lived for a thousand years, without looking back.

She felt that she needed to find her comrades again and talk to them about her hurt feelings.

Now Fu Hua is extremely grateful that she is not the only remnant of the old world left in this world.

Otherwise, facing this level of betrayal, Fu Hua had no idea how lonely and sad she would be.

Until her figure completely disappeared on Taixu Mountain, the hanging disciples still stood there stiffly, unable to believe what was happening.

What Fu Hua did was completely different from what they imagined.

They didn't understand what exactly happened, but one thing was certain - from then on, they no longer had a master.

Volume One: Ideals disappear in collapse: Chapter 49 Chapter : One Thousand Worlds, One Vehicle, will be created sooner or later!

"Otto, go and become the savior of mankind..."

“Turn this imperfect world into one where everyone can smile.”

"..."

Otto slowly opened his eyes.

In the long-awaited sleep, he seemed to hear that person's last expectations for him.

The commemoration of her has never stopped for five hundred years, but it has become more frequent in recent years.

"Lihua, are you reminding me that I did something wrong..."

Otto looked out the window a little tiredly. Under the clear sky, the spring breeze rustled through the green leaves. Everything looked so beautiful.

But everyone knows how much sin is hidden under this seemingly leisurely appearance.

The human experiments in the Tower of Babylon, turning a blind eye to Anti-Entropy's crazy atrocities in Changkong City, torturing and using other people as pawns... In recent years, his actions have become more and more crazy.

These are the things that person hates the most.

They are all moving in the direction of her final instructions.

However, as long as he can get that person back, he doesn't care what the cost.

Even if Lihua would hate him, he wanted to see that figure again.

Perhaps this dream was Lihua reminding him not to do this?

After a moment of melancholy, Otto couldn't help but laugh at his own fantasy.

If she could really remind herself like this, how great would that be? Unfortunately, such ghosts do not exist in this world.

And the soul reincarnation that the Red Kite Immortal mentioned to him back then...

Otto is now monitoring population information around the world, and indeed has discovered that people who are almost identical to those who existed before often appear. Their voices, looks, personalities, and even their names are very similar.

Does the so-called reincarnation of the soul perhaps exist?

Otto has been monitoring the entire world for decades, and even the immortal from Shenzhou has seen some familiar faces in his database - but that person is not there.

There is no trace of Lihua's existence in this world, as if her soul no longer exists in this world.

"...It's about time now."

Otto stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and slowly walked out of the room.

He is currently at the base of Tianming near Shenzhou, or to be more precise, it is a secret base built by Otto personally, which even other people in Tianming don’t know about - such as Kallen Kaslana and Eleanor Shaniyat.

The reason for doing this, of course, was because of something important that he didn't want those two guys to know.

Looking at the light flashing across the sky like a shooting star, Otto narrowed his eyes slightly.

"come yet?"

Before he finished speaking, a white figure was already standing in front of him.

"Long time no see, old friend."

In response to Otto's smiling greeting, the visitor first looked around Otto.

This place is deep in the mountains and dense forests. It is a picturesque place with clear water and green mountains. There is no noise. Looking around, except for the small house where Otto just walked out, it is all green.

"You're not even as old as me, and you're already living in a nursing home?"

There are not many people in this world who dare to tease Otto, and there is only one in Shenzhou.

The visitor was none other than Fu Hua, who had guarded China for thousands of years and had handed over the protection mission to destiny in recent decades and retired with honor.

Otto was not surprised by his old friend's joke. He just smiled and said, "Sometimes, for safety's sake, one has to disguise himself... But you seem to be a lot more relaxed, old friend."

"Well... Alicia said I was too serious and asked me to learn to joke more." Fu Hua shook her head, looking a little helpless, "So I'm trying."

"But I brought the things you wanted from them."

Fu Hua's words made Otto's eyes sharp. He didn't say anything, but the lush forests around him flickered and disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the surroundings.

Hidden under the false natural projection is a giant mechanical base full of science fiction. The mechanical creations and cold steel flying around are very different from the previous comfortable natural style.

Fu Hua didn't say much, just raised her hand, and then accompanied by a dull bang, a huge machine appeared out of thin air and landed heavily on the steel floor.

"The Second God's Key, One Thousand Worlds... It took us a lot of effort to get this thing out from under Kevin's eyes." Fu Hua looked at the One Thousand Worlds that looked like a locomotive and frowned, "So you are going to observe other worlds and continue to look for that person?"

"exactly."

Otto looked at Chikai Ichijo calmly: "If we can't find her here, we can look for her somewhere else. If we can't find her anywhere else, she can still be used in the final plan."

"Thanks, old friend."

"Is the soul reincarnated?"

Fu Hua sighed softly: "Someone once told me that even if the soul can be reincarnated, the existence in the next life will no longer be the person you know. Therefore, she will never pin her hopes on the afterlife..."

"After all, this world only allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness - unless the consciousness is preserved from the beginning." Otto looked at his palm, then slowly tightened the body made of soul steel, "But, we must try."

"In the future that Lihua saw, I did whatever it took to achieve my goal, causing countless sacrifices, just to save someone who didn't like me." Otto's smile was a little bitter. "Now she has already said the first two sentences, only the last one is left."

Having done so many wrong things, Lihua would definitely not like him. Otto had already prepared for this, but...

After all, can the rescue be successful?

At that time, Lihua didn't tell herself.
