Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 783: Memories of Ranchi and Hyperion
Hyperion stopped hesitating, shook her head, and walked back to the sofa where Lanqi was.

Kaliela looks indifferent, but sometimes he would have some new ideas out of the blue, and then play pranks with an expressionless face.

Last time, Cariela suddenly called herself "concubine" in front of Lanqi, which made Hyperion panic.

Twelve years have passed, she is no longer the regent, and it is normal for her to have some strange elements about her.

"Lanqi, is the Shadow World almost over this time?"

Hyperion asked as she sat down next to Lanci.

It’s like this every time on the Baby Bus. When she sees Ranchi, she skips the battle and waits for the clearance to be settled.

"I'm not saying this, meow, but why is this shadow world so simple?"

Boss Cat jumped out from the shadows and nimbly leaped onto the sofa.

The strength of this shadow world is not low. The biggest problem is that the mechanism is too simple. There are no traps in the middle and it goes straight to the lord battle.

It feels that Lord Blasphemy Merogas is the final powerful enemy. Although he is much stronger than the final powerful enemy of the previous seventh-level shadow world, the tenth ancestor Ulysses, Lanqi's teammates this time are also very strong.

"Boss Cat, I miss you so much."

Hyperion saw the little black cat beside her, picked it up and whispered.

Having not seen her for several months, she missed Boss Cat very much.

Unlike Tamisa, Cat Boss is a people-friendly cat who can quickly get along with others.

"I miss you too, meow!"

Boss Cat replied cheerfully.

It hasn't seen Xiubao for a long time.

"Eh?"

Hyperion paused with a slight hesitation.

It seems a little different from what I heard last time in the communication.

If I must say, I always feel that the cat boss in the previous Huadu Palie Communication was a little more shy.

And now the cat boss is more cheerful...

Communications often have changes in sound quality.

It's probably an illusion.

Hyperion continued to pet the cat boss.

"In fact, if this shadow world were changed to level 7, I'm afraid all level 7 challengers combined wouldn't be able to defeat Merogas."

Lanqi answered the cat boss's questions without much difficulty.

He is now an expert in the world of film.

The Lord of Blasphemy is obviously too strong in the seventh-level shadow world. In addition, there is no way to subdue the crazy Lord of Blasphemy other than force, so the whole group will be wiped out if they are not careful.

And Merogas is indeed qualified to be the final enemy of the eighth-level shadow world. Ordinary eighth-levels are no match for her at all, and it takes multiple eighth-levels to defeat her.

"The real difficulty lies in the fact that there are not many opportunities to fight Merogas alone. Her true identity is the regent of the demon clan. It is not difficult for her to order other general-level demon clans to help."

Lanqi continued to review.

Also, consider that there are several great demons under Merogas' command.

Even if a ninth-order being were to force its way into the Demon King's city of Nakaris, he would probably fail.

"What about the big demons under her command?"

Boss Cat still doesn't understand.

Assuming that the final battle is between nearly ten eighth-level masters, then this eighth-level shadow world is correct.

"Well... maybe it's all because of Pranay and the others..."

Hyperion told Boss Cat about the situation in the Demon King's City Nakalis.

Now Antanas and the other three are still enjoying the extravagant life in the demon world on Naika Island.

Originally it was supposed to be the Challenger Demon Clan against the Shadow World Demon Clan, but under Pranay's perfect integration strategy, it became a group of all Shadow World Demon Clan.

The four of them stopped rebelling, and Merogas thought that her subordinates were all loyal to her, and the great demons under her command also thought that everyone was loyal to the demon world.

There is no rebellious element at all.

Therefore, Melogas will not focus his current energy on eliminating internal troubles.

"If Antanas and the others follow the normal route and help the princess leave the Demon King's Castle, they may end up in the Purgatory City of Pascual, where the Great Demon Clan is divided into two factions and a devastating war begins."

At first, Lanqi didn't expect that Hyperion would bring in Planai and the others as well as the Ice Witch.

Now that I heard that Pranay was in the Demon King's City, Nakaris, everything made sense.

"Hiss, I understand, meow."

Boss Cat also understood why they could seemingly win so easily from Lord of Blasphemy Merogas tonight.

The Shadow World probably didn't expect these four pieces of trash to be idle.

As a result, everyone was installing the bots, and the Demon King's City was full of joy. Other big demons in the shadow world also followed suit and stayed idle.

There is a princess hiding in Purgatory City. Lord Merogas, the regent, came to Purgatory City to capture a little princess. He would not mobilize a large army and bring a group of big demon generals to laugh at her for not taking good care of the princess.

Pranay is really an expert at gaining points!

"Then can I also do this in the future?!"

Boss Cat asked Lanqi as if he had suddenly realized something.

"After you finish fighting in this shadow world, you will probably be at level nine. What are you still doing?"

Lanqi poked the black beast's cat head.

Boss Cat really has some power of faith.

Every time Mao Lun appeared in front of people, although most of the power of faith went to Loren, because everyone believed in the high priest Loren, the power of faith of some witnesses was directly concentrated on Boss Mao on the spot, because it was Boss Mao who made the move.

Based on Boss Cat's racial value, the power of faith required to break through to the ninth level should be a much smaller amount than usual. Anyway, it is not very strong at the ninth level and does not have the corresponding divine power to fight on equal terms with the sixth level.

"Yeah, meow."

Boss Cat almost forgot that the show was about to end and there was no chance to play the Shadow World again. Even if he could still get rewards in the future, it would probably be taken care of by a new person.

Lanqi is a guy with extraordinary talent and strength. He would definitely not fight the Shadow World if he can avoid it. He really hasn't touched the Shadow World in half a year in the Northern Continent. It is completely impossible to expect him to reach the eighth or ninth level in his story.

"Why do I feel like there are only three of us challengers in Shadow World this time?"

Hyperion counted on her fingers.

She clearly remembered that there were 9 challengers.

In fact, it feels exactly the same as the three challengers in the Dark Eclipse Realm of Shadow World last time.

It’s still their Lanmaoxiu, the old three-piece combination.

"It's okay, meow. This map is so big. Maybe other challengers are working hard in places we can't see."

The cat owner suddenly realized the problem.

Although it couldn't count the number of challengers, except for the four big demons who were AFK, Talia, as the challenger, pretended to be Kaliela, so there would naturally be a deviation in the number of people.

The cat boss didn't want to break Hyperion's fantasy, so he decided to help Tata continue this beautiful lie.

"Too."

Hyperion no longer studied the number of challengers, which was no longer important.

She looked below the Shadow World information.

What is really important is the change in mission objectives.

as predicted.

The mission objectives in Shadow World showcase brand new content.

[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from old friend Kaliela; go to the Demon Realm Purgatory City Pascual & protect the little spark left by Kaliela; choose whether to open it. (Completed)]

[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lanclos of the Black Sun: 4.94%. (Completed)]

【任务目标3：挑战者全员生存至21天时限结束，剩余时间6天01小时34分。】

"..."

Lanci and Hyperion looked at each other.

This is a new change that occurred after the mission converged with Hyperion's.

"Is the Shadow World over?"

Hyperion confirmed.

Based on experience, once you complete the final battle, you have almost passed the Shadow World.

But this time, I always have an inexplicable feeling that the movie world has just begun.

You can clearly see at a glance that there is still a sequel and it is far from over.

But the movie world has clearly indicated that it is completed.

"The mission objective should still be able to continue, but no matter what choice is made, it should not affect the success or failure of the Shadow World."

Lanqi had never encountered such a situation.

However, according to the documents of the Shadow World Society of the Southern Continent, once a Shadow World mission is transformed into a completed state, it is equivalent to a success, and one only needs to wait until the Shadow World time limit ends and is settled.

"It's like after you finish your test, you turn to the back of the test paper and find there are some additional questions. You won't lose points if you leave them blank, and your total score won't exceed the upper limit if you answer them. You can choose whether to answer them or not."

He relaxed, spoke metaphorically, and rubbed his sore eyes.

He supported Talia and encouraged her to fight. He had been driving the whole way without much rest and now felt that he was reaching his limit.

[The gift that Kaliela left behind, as you guessed, is not something that wonderful, because if it was really a gift, she wouldn't have told you in the letter to choose whether to open it.]

Staring at the mission information, Lanqi's vision was a little dazed, as if he saw the following words.

"Then let's ignore the mission for the remaining six days and just have fun in the Purgatory Corridor Academy, meow!"

Boss Cat suggested excitedly.

No matter what's behind it.

It just wants to have fun in this legendary Purgatory Corridor Academy.

From now on, no matter what you do, the rest of these six days may not change much.

At most, completing the task will make the reward better.

"You guys can rest in school, I will continue tomorrow."

Lanqi pinched his brows and expressed his thoughts.

If we continue the mission, according to the initial mission information and the context of the entire mission, we will probably open the gift left by Kaliela. After returning to the Purgatory Corridor Academy and learning a little bit, Lanqi basically understood what happened in the Inverted Mirror Corridor that made the teachers and students in the school sleepy recently.

This was undoubtedly the magic of Kaliela, and she may have left her "gift" deep in the Hall of Hanging Mirrors.

In order to open Kaliela's gift, Tamisa is the key to the entire mission, both explicitly and implicitly.

She should be the child of Lord Mist and Lord Maya who inherited the last soul of Kaliera as mentioned in Kaliera's letter.

He himself almost needed to rest for a while.

I'll ask Tamisa tomorrow after she wakes up.

However, unlike Lanci's decisiveness, Hyperion frowned worriedly.

"Lanqi, I feel like the aftermath of this shadow world is not going to be good."

Hyperion held Lanci's wrist with both hands.

Over the past two weeks, she has seen Lanqi's understanding of Lord Black Sun increase every day, and Hyperion has been worried.

Now that she saw that the mission in the shadow world could be completed and Lanqi was still fine, she finally felt relieved.

Let the era of blood moon destruction end here.

That's enough, there's no need to read on.

So far, it's a happy ending no matter how you look at it.

Even though in history Lord Black Sun Lanclos would die of old age six days later, he would die with great success and fame, and his reputation would last forever.

Compared with his miserable life, the final ending was quite perfect.

"..."

"Hyperion, imagine if your brain was connected to a magic terminal machine that could bring you endless happiness for the rest of your life, only joy, no sadness. If you were given a choice, would you want such a machine?"

Lanqi smiled helplessly, feeling the warmth from Hyperion's hand.
"It is important to note that once you enter this experience machine, you will be forever separated from real life and cannot return, but it is difficult for you to discover this fact. You will not be able to tell whether you are in the real world or the virtual world, and the ups and downs that should have been in your life will be replaced by smooth sailing."

This was a question he had asked the cat owner in Pariel, the Flower City.

The situation at that time was discussing whether Lanqi's behavior was correct in deceiving Miss Christina of Count Baptiste's family and telling her that Inoan was still alive, thus saving Miss Christina from sadness.

In the end, no conclusion was reached.

"This is almost the same as [Falling in Tenderness], but without the side effects."

Hyperion stared at Lanci and didn't let go.

She understood Lanqi's metaphors.

In Lanci's description, this hypothetical machine has no negative effects that could dissolve the soul and is a purely harmless experience.

"That's understandable."

Lanci affirmed.

"I do not want."

Hyperion answered clearly, looking away with a bitter expression.

Even she herself is aware of this contradiction.

Although she is the one who is most addicted to the gentle land of falling and cannot extricate herself, she is still very resistant to this kind of machine.

Because she wants the truth, even a cruel truth is better than a false beauty.

Well, for someone as clear-headed as Lanci, who wouldn't even hesitate in the midst of falling into the sweet embrace, the answer is very obvious.

He will definitely try to understand what Lancros of the Black Sun saw at the end of his life.

"But Ranchi..."

Hyperion didn't know how to organize her words to persuade Lanqi, and was a little tongue-tied.

"This is a shadow world. It doesn't matter whether you know the truth or not. You have to think about it. You have to think carefully about why you would open a gift box that is obviously not good."

She didn't want Lanci to come to any harm, nor did she want Lanci to be at risk of any negative changes.

But he seemed to be a little addicted to this shadow world.

Just seeing Lanci's understanding of Black Sun continue to increase, even if it is less than 5% now, Hyperion is very scared.

"Meow meow."

The cat boss was on Hyperion's lap, looking left and right at Lanqi and Hyperion.

It was the first time that Lanci and Hyperion had such a big difference of opinion.

They were not arguing, but they knew too well what the other was thinking and tried hard to convince the other.

As a cat owner who had personally experienced the trip to the Flower City, it knew that Lanqi's view on "Fallen Land of Tenderness" was not absolute.

He had previously deceived Countess Christine of Parieu, the Flower City, by concealing from her the fact that Inoan was dead, allowing the Countess to live with hope.

This shows that Lanci is not someone who necessarily chooses "real", he may also choose "protection" depending on the situation.

"Huberlian..."

Lanqi thought for a long time again.

"Some people need protection, some people need truth, and some people need to make decisions on their own."

He spoke slowly.
"So, I'm not denying the gentle land of falling. Sometimes it is indeed a very beautiful thing... But even if everyone is asleep, I must be the first to wake up. As a person who can wake up, I can't fall asleep easily."

Lanqi looked at Hyperion, his emerald green eyes were still as clear as the water, naturally filled with thoughts and compassion, and the answer had already been hidden in them.

"..."

Hyperion pursed her lips, and finally slowly removed her hands from Lanqi's wrists and placed them back on her legs.

"It's really hard to support a man like you. You are born to be a willful leader."

She said with her head down.

Lanqi's love is like the wind, eager to enjoy freedom, while her love is like a kite holding the string tightly and sighing in place.

She wanted to protect Lanqi from getting out of line, but also didn't want to hold Lanqi back.

So she often feels distressed about how to support him.

"I'm sorry for always making you worry about me."

Lanqi stared at Hyperion and also lowered his eyes.

He has always listened to a lot of what Hyperion said, but when it comes to making a decision, he will still do it his own way.

But he was grateful to Hyperion.

No one would greet him in the morning.

When the afternoon came no one was waiting for him.

What would he call it when he could do whatever he wanted?
free.

Still lonely.

Only with Hyperion could he be called free. Without her, he would be alone.

The clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows flow quietly, and the cold night is like a quiet lake with slight ripples.

Thunder, thunder.

Sparks flew from the fireplace, as if to fill the gap of no conversation.

There was a fire in the house so it was warm.

"Do as you wish."

This time, Hyperion did not want to hold Lanci, but just gently placed her hand on his like a ghost under the moon.

Hyperion would have no other thoughts except to support her.

She always believed in Lanqi unconditionally.

There is something about him that never changes.

Only that enthusiasm and determination are real. He is born with such a sense of responsibility, and he is like this every time.

But this long journey may have brought about a cognitive change in Ranchi.

He was still as firm as before, but in his firmness, he thought about more things and was no longer so cold.

Hyperion has always believed that Lanci is a person who is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. He sometimes maintains a god-like fairness and coldness, and makes decisions that are against humanity without hesitation.

Now, he will think about it and make this inhuman decision.

"Huprienne, are you thinking of something impolite?"

Lanqi observed Hyperion's eyes and felt that as she thought about it, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up slightly.

It was an expression he had never seen before.

"..."

Hyperion shook her head, and the meaningful smile on her lips became more obvious.

She didn't tell Lanqi the answer.

"If we were both in this era, I would be the one who is no longer by your side at this moment."

She just looked at the mirror of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and looked at the two of them in the mirror, and was moved.

Imagine if this moment had actually happened in real history.

Then it must be Hei Riqing sitting alone in the principal's office.

The phantom of Miss Witch talked to him.

Like the earrings, it has become a gentle companion.

"..."

The principal's reflection in the glass fell silent.

"No matter what, because of your protection, I am not an illusion. I will always be by your side, so feel free to do what you want to do. If you feel tired, I will always be waiting for you at home. As long as you look back, you can see me."

She closed her eyes and leaned on Lanqi's shoulder.

"Hum..."

Lanqi chuckled in relief.

They got tired of laughing, and Lanqi and Hyperion's minds were filled with sleepiness.

Even though the stars outside the window are dim, the shadows of the boy and girl on the glass are still clear.

It was as if they had returned to the time when the two of them challenged the Purgatory Corridor Academy together.

They fell asleep snuggling together on the sofa in the principal's office.
