Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 394 Return to the Sober World

"No, that's not right. She is not necessarily Raiden Mei, at least not the Mei in my mind."

Jiang Ming reacted and forced himself to suppress his emotions. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was still surging. He didn't dare to look at Raiden Mei in front of him, and instead lowered his head to think.

"Mei appeared in front of me before I even got here, and her figure was illusory, as if she had appeared out of thin air. It was not until I got closer that she gradually became real. This must be some kind of trick, not real."

"I have even been influenced by this method. No wonder I have the intuition to go this way, and this kind of emotion that seems to come from the depths of my soul and cannot be extricated... This method is extremely familiar, it's just like-"

"Jiang Ming..."

Hearing the familiar call, Jiang Ming's thoughts were interrupted. He came to his senses, raised his head suddenly and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Damn it, I'm disturbed by my emotions again. What kind of trick is this?" Jiang Ming was very anxious. Just as he was about to step back and stay away from the Raiden Mei in front of him, the girl suddenly said.

"We... haven't seen each other for a long time."

"?"

The girl's voice sounded emotionless, and even her facial expression was expressionless. She didn't seem to care about the blood in her body or the sudden situation at the moment.

The girl's voice was naturally the same as in his memory. Jiang Ming frowned subconsciously, but suddenly realized that it was not suitable to show this look in front of the girl, so he slowly relaxed his brows. At the same time, he already had some ideas in his mind.

Jiang Ming asked directly: "When was the last time we met?"

"..."

The girl shook her head: "I don't know, but I can feel that from all the thoughts in your mind right now, you should think... I'm fake, right?"

"Since you can say this, it seems that you are serious? But I really forgot about you. Can you give me more details?"

Seeing that the girl was about to fall, Jiang Ming stepped forward to support her. The girl's body was very light, like a white feather.

She smiled bitterly three times, but did not leave Jiang Ming's arms. Instead, she snuggled in his arms, as if enjoying and missing him, and gently closed her eyes: "You and him are really alike...both in body and soul..."

"What?" Jiang Ming didn't hear clearly.

The girl didn't respond, she just kept talking to herself.

"I am a trace of her will."

"...Which will?"

Since this Raiden Mei claims to know herself, then she must have had some interactions with herself in the past. And since it is her will, then it must be a means of wisdom.

But the wills condensed by the means of wisdom are numerous and countless. Is it true or false? Is it intentional or sad? Only by asking clearly can we facilitate the following conversation.

"That's the true meaning. To be honest, my original body back then didn't practice wisdom. I relied on analogy to barely leave behind this will." The girl said lightly.

He felt the huge chest pressed tightly against him, and there was a strong smell of blood on the body, but to Jiang Ming, it was not pungent, but rather had a strange sense of familiarity.

"Since you can say something like 'applying knowledge to other things', then you are indeed practicing the laws of the universe."

Jiang Ming did not hear any hint of deception from the other party.

"Haha." The girl chuckled three times and said something revealing.

"Although you appear to be calm, you lost your mind the moment you saw me. It's just that due to your position, identity, and your current situation, you have to force yourself to stay calm. After all these years, I'm afraid this has become something you're good at. It's really hard..."

"...At least the result is good. I don't think this reincarnation is so unsatisfactory."

“But not every outcome is good.”

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be ripples of autumn in her eyes. She looked at the boy in front of her affectionately: "This truth has been preserved for too long. Until now, it can only answer three of your questions."

The purpose was already very clear, and Jiang Ming understood it in his heart. If he delayed time, the true meaning would become even weaker, so he nodded and asked directly.

"Since you said you knew me, but I don't remember you, but I heard before that I, as the reincarnation of the Ultimate Star God, have experienced six reincarnations. In other words, you were the girl I met during those six reincarnations?"

"Yes." The girl responded calmly.

"What was our relationship at that time?"

"......companion."

“…Is that so?”

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his face changed, he took a deep breath, his heart beating rapidly - even if the answer was just from a girl he had met in his previous life, it was enough to make him feel a little uneasy.

This means that no matter how many times he has reincarnated, the girl named Raiden Mei will still be with him, even if she is just a companion, even if this Raiden Mei is not that Raiden Mei.

He swallowed gently to ease the tension in his heart: "One last question."

"Why are you here? And so suddenly? What do you want to do?"

“Is that a question?”

The girl chuckled, which was rare: "Forget it, I will spoil you."

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, gently broke away from Jiang Ming's arms, and slowly stepped back half a step. At the same time, an extremely slender sword suddenly appeared in her hand.

"In order to bring you back to the waking world."

The girl's eyebrows bent slightly, and her pair of beautiful eyes, dark and lifeless, were looking at an unknown direction with sorrow. She walked past Jiang Ming, just so gently. At the same time, a line of blood and tears flowed from her right eye, but the girl did not look in pain.

Jiang Ming was puzzled. He turned around slightly and was about to ask again when suddenly his pupils shrank to the size of a needle slit and he looked at the girl opposite with horror.

Bang!

But before Jiang Ming could do anything, he was suddenly hit by an invisible force, and then his body seemed to explode.

But the strange thing was that there was no bright red blood flowing out of his body, and there was not even the slightest wound. Instead, a large amount of blue-purple unknown liquid gushed out. These liquids did not come from his body, but Jiang Ming felt as if something in his body was cut off.

However, the next second, his consciousness began to fade, the girl's back became blurry in his eyes, his throat rolled, and he tried to make a sound, but his eyes were closed and he fainted.

Before Jiang Ming's consciousness completely dissipated, the girl's familiar voice once again came into his mind. The voice was as clear as a nightingale's chirping, but it was filled with sadness and bitterness.

Jiang Ming only heard her singing softly.

"Eight million gods descended upon the world, killing all living things and bringing disaster to the human race."

"Izumo broke 70,000 swords and forged twelve imperial swords."

"Abandoning life and turning into evil ghosts, all will be crushed and all will be lost."

"The god fell to Takamagahara, and his fate was filled with misfortunes and bad luck."

"If you ask me how I forged a sword, my body has already fallen into nothingness."

"All are cut off and transformed into human beings, only these two can escape to heaven."

"I just hate that fate is always unfair. How can there be reincarnation?"

"A lovelorn man is a lovelorn man, willing to wait for the beauty to find him."

The poem is finished.

But this wonderful feeling seemed to have penetrated deep into his soul, making Jiang Ming unable to extricate himself, almost forgetting everything, pouring all his attention and thoughts, all his emotions and memories... into this poem.

He knew that this was all the answer the girl could give him.
