A girl dressed in a tattered school uniform, her body shrouded in lightning, and with divine wings on her back, stood in front of Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens.

She should have been a vibrant young woman in the prime of her life, but her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she looked like a walking corpse.

Her face was filled with the same indelible sorrow as the sleeping girl at the finish line.

"Are you... going to see Kiana?"

"Kiana..."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens was momentarily stunned upon hearing this name, and murmured involuntarily.

"You are…"

"Raiden Mei... what about you?"

"I can't remember my name, but everyone calls me Penglaiji Jiuxiao, so maybe I should just call myself Penglaiji Jiuxiao."

"Then why are you here?"

"Why... I don't know, every time I realize it, I'm already here. Excuse me, where is this place?"

"This place... is a forgotten place. Even the meaning of existence has been lost; it's like a tomb."

"cemetery…?"

"Hmm... the graveyard. My graveyard and Kiana's graveyard... and of course, yours too."

Not just you, but everyone who doesn't belong here, everyone who wants to disturb this place…

And those who want to hurt Kiana…

So, get out of here quickly...

Otherwise, I will kill you.

---------------

Penglaiji Jiuxiao woke up in the medical room, clutching her head. Beside her lay another patient in a hospital bed.

"You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"

Emisha walked over with her notebook, and at the same time used her small flashlight to examine Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's pupils and throat.

"I feel a little dizzy... but otherwise I'm fine."

Upon hearing what Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said, Amisa immediately put on a sour face.

"Get lost if you have nothing better to do! I think you're dreaming! If Seele hadn't insisted that I check you out, I wouldn't have wasted my resources on a sleeping idiot like you!"

"hey-hey…"

Penglai Temple Nine-Shallow awkwardly touched her head and ran away from the hospital bed. She didn't know how she had suddenly fainted, nor did she know how Xi'er had brought her here...

"What about my brother? How is he?"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao pointed to Jiuxiao beside him, and then saw that Amisa's face looked even more unpleasant.

Are you sure he's your brother?

"Uh...it's hard to say, considering how similar we look, isn't it?"

"Then you two are really different..."

Emisha picked up a scalpel and, in front of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, made a cut on Jiuxiao's chest, but Jiuxiao's body did not even deform due to the pressure.

"Even the sharpest scalpel couldn't leave a mark on him... let alone other scanning instruments, they couldn't scan anything, so it's hard for me to say exactly what his condition is."

You were with him; would it be convenient to explain what happened?

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"If you suddenly roll your eyes back and faint, does that count?"

Emisa glanced calmly at Penglai Temple Nine Heavens, picked up her notebook and tapped it, then pointed towards the door.

"If you don't want to talk, then don't. The door's over there, get out."

"Uh uh..."

Awakened by the two people's conversation, Jiu Xiao patted his groggy head and sat up in bed.

"Cough cough... I'm fine. You guys woke me up..."

Emisha's initially worried expression was now filled with rage.

"Ha, so you were sleeping too? Get out of here!"

Half a minute later, Jiu Xiao and Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao squatted together at the entrance of the medical department, helplessly drawing circles on the ground.

"Brother, are you really okay? You suddenly fainted and scared me to death."

"It's nothing serious. I just heard from Amisa that you also fainted. How are you?"

"It should be nothing serious, I just had a very bizarre dream..."

I dreamt about Raiden Mei…

"Raiden Mei?!" "Mei-neechan?!"

Jiuxiao looked at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao in surprise, his hand pausing as he drew circles.

 

Bronya, who had come to visit the two patients from the Nine Heavens, rushed up excitedly, grabbed the collar of the Nine Heavens of Horaiji out of control, and kept questioning Raiden Mei about her whereabouts.

"You dreamt about Mei-neechan! You've met her..."

She's still alive... she's still alive...

Bronya will find Mei, she will definitely find Mei...

Where is she? Where is she?!

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens was startled by Bronya's anxious reaction, and his thoughts were in disarray. He didn't know how to explain himself.

"I...I don't know."

"How could you not know! How could you not know..."

Bronya gripped Penglaiji Jiuxiao's hand tightly, but it gradually fell limp. Longing overwhelmed her, but then she suddenly remembered that Penglaiji Jiuxiao had amnesia.

"Yes...you don't know. Jiuxiao, you're her brother, do you know where Mei-jie is?"

Mei saved Bronya, told Bronya about her purpose, and became the light in Bronya's heart, her everything.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. But don't worry, Bronya, Mei is very powerful. She's definitely somewhere in the world waiting for us to find her," Jiuxiao said, reassuring Bronya.

Bronya simply nodded blankly, then left dejectedly.

After she walked away, Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao stared at each other wide-eyed.

"Where's Mei?"

"Uh... I really don't know. If I had to say... in the cemetery?"

"?"

(Seele likes Bronya, Bronya likes Mei, Mei likes Kiana... This love triangle is so messy.)

Chapter 260 Don't Pick Up Stray Cats by the Roadside

Because Bronya knew that Horaiji Kushou dreamed of Raiden Mei, she was certain that Horaiji Kushou had seen Mei before losing her memory, and therefore firmly believed that Mei was still alive.

For this reason, Bronya has been sending people to intensify the search of the surrounding area in the past few days, trying to find Raiden Mei.

However, Raiden Mei hasn't been seen for five years since the Great Collapse, so how could she possibly be found now?

Perhaps she's been hiding somewhere, waiting for someone to find her.

The bombardment launched when the Gray Moths returned recently nearly wiped out the entire Firemoth combat force. To make up for the shortage of personnel, some people from the medical and engineering departments were transferred to the combat forces, and Seele took on the responsibility of training them.

Without Xi'er as the squad leader, Jiu Xiao and Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao independently selected bounty missions issued by various family members to complete the missions and daily patrols.

While patrolling the war zone one day, Jiu Xiao and Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao discovered a magical little creature.

"Meow~"

A small, thin, orange kitten, full of vitality.

Its nimble figure darted through the ruins, meowing as it ran to Jiuxiao's feet, rubbing its body against Jiuxiao's calves.

Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao were immediately captivated by it, and immediately squatted down to happily pet the cat.

In this desolate world, Jiuxiao couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of life. Even with such harsh living conditions, even as a fragile kitten, it tenaciously struggled to survive on its own.

Penglai Temple Nine-Shō gently stroked the kitten's belly and fed it a small biscuit.

Suddenly, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao thought of something and said to Jiuxiao beside him.

"Brother, do you like cats?"

"Hmm, I prefer dogs a bit more, but I also really like Qi Mao Mao~ She's so soft and cuddly, and very affectionate. Not only does she often destroy things around the house, but she also likes to lie on your chest and drool when she sleeps..."

Jiuxiao thought of Kiana and couldn't help but smile happily.
