The Strange Adventures of Hearn the Believer

Page 90

She knew that the so-called design drawings in her hands had become a tool for escaping reality and had no meaning from then on.

Just moments before, she had once again committed the sin of pride, doing something greedy, and was beginning to feel uneasy about it.

Arrogant and greedy.

It is good for nothing except destruction.

The self-absorbed wolf was destined to be killed by Little Red Riding Hood.

This was once a reflection of her self-image.

……

After that playful scolding that sounded more like a coquettish rebuke, the boy who had been peeking out from her shoulder obediently turned around and sat down. Then, as if he had fallen asleep, he remained silent and quiet.

Aoko recalled how she had boasted to that delicate, cherry-blossom-like princess that she would never dare to go against her wishes.

Looking back now, what an arrogant statement that was, so arrogant that it could be called arrogance.

Who is Her Highness the Princess?

Looking ahead, there is the epitome of the roots of all beings' obsessive pursuit and worship; looking back, there is his unforgettable, innocent first love from his youth.

Who is he?

It is one of the two poles of light and darkness that was located at the outermost apex before the duality collapsed. It is the black sun that is opposed to the Lord of the White Moon Aether Radiance, and the shadow saint feared by all living beings.

In this era of collapsing duality, if he hadn't been so obsessed with the world of human intelligence that others thought he was crazy and thus lowered himself to godhood, he would have already grasped everything in this world. Even death couldn't escape his grasp, because Shi Hai is the highest-ranking underworld in this world.

And what about her? She's just a half-baked devil who, due to her obsessive-compulsive disorder, only managed to close one deal out of 666, and it's even rumored that her boss couldn't stand it anymore and personally came to her door to cover her performance.

Oh, and a little earlier, he was a mage, but a half-baked one, who never had the heart to do many things that are commonplace for mages, such as killing.

A compassionate fool, or a ruthless sage?

Faced with a choice between two options from her grandfather in the distant past, she submitted an illogical answer: neither option should be chosen.

It's not either of the two, but the unique [Blue].

Just like the naive boy in the dream described her—a foolish yet genius-level good-natured person.

To put it nicely, that's true...

To put it bluntly...

He can neither let go of human warmth nor shirk his own mission, so he can only look up to leave the world and look down to enter it. Even though he is already walking through time and space, he is still an immature half-baked magician.

So, where does this immature version of myself, who seems destined to be nothing more than a half-baked, pseudo-high school girl, get the confidence to speak so arrogantly in front of a lady who is like an empress?

However, just like when she laughed and scolded him, the guy behind her sat back down obediently and remained silent.

It turns out that she truly possessed the confidence to match that self-assurance.

However, she had no idea where this confidence came from...

She knew, of course, that this guy was deeply infatuated with her.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out...

Unable to fathom the origins of this love, so profound it suffocates ordinary people, how could it have arisen? Where did it come from?

There is no hatred without a reason, nor is there love without a reason.

Long-standing rational constraints prevented her from easily accepting such an unparalleled honor, which was no different in the eyes of beings in both heaven and hell.

Regardless of her own opinion, in the eyes of the other Fire Children on the outside, what was laid out before her for her to choose was something of supreme sublimity.

……

Because her mind was in turmoil and she couldn't continue with the design plans, Aoko quietly chose another way to pass the time.

She obtained a large amount of information about the outside world through the now-unsealed Nobu077 agency.

Now that Aoko has long since transcended the material world, processing massive amounts of information in an instant has become commonplace for her.

Yes, she ascended to heaven and descended to hell alongside her cheap student, then transformed into a demon, one of the outermost created races of the world.

A child of fire.

This is no longer a simple matter of a leap of one or two ranks; rather, it is about standing out directly from the masses of the material kingdom at the very bottom of the Tree of Life, crossing the entire Formation Realm in an instant, ascending straight to the pinnacle of the Creation Realm, and even getting a glimpse of the divine realm.

Aoko hasn't yet mastered the theory of the structure of the outer world.

In short, it's a very impressive thing.

Of course, her cheap students are even more impressive.

He embarked on a true ladder to heaven, a grand ceremony called "The Return of All Things to One," through a grand blood sacrifice using everything below and on the outer edge as food, leaping directly from the "Kingdom" ring at the very bottom of the material world of the Tree of Life to the "Crown" ring at the very top of the divine world.

What's on the crown at the very top of the Tree of Life? Naturally, there are two crowns.

One is called "Azure Sky", and the other is called "Abyss".

The former is the embodiment of the Lord of Radiance who was born here, while the latter is the remnant left behind by the Shadow Prince who ascended to this realm.

The secrets behind the crown are naturally known only to those two deities.

The first primordial fire and the last primordial fire.

The eldest son and the youngest son.

Alpha/and Omega/.

They sound like they don't get along at all.

Just like when Aoko first used the Fifth Technique, her sister teased her, saying, "Don't fight with the successor of the First Technique because of incompatibility."

However, in reality, she never fought with the number one until the start of [All Things Return to One].

But as her student, he had already truly proclaimed the Lord of Glory.

On the day the Lord of Glory married the goddess Lilith, on the day the heavens wept.

The youngest son turned the eldest son's white wedding into a bloody funeral, thus bringing an end to the old era in which dualism dominated the world.

As for why those two supreme gods would kill each other?

Researchers and media in the outside world have elevated it to a sacred and unfathomable level of fatalism, so sacred that all beings do not need to understand the cause, but only need to accept the result.

But as that guy's cheap teacher, she always felt that the reason they were fighting couldn't be too obscure or difficult to understand.

After all, she knew that her students, from childhood to adulthood, only believed in two principles.

Firstly, good people should be rewarded.

Secondly, it is a matter of course that a murderer should pay with his life.

Find a suitable time to ask him.

Let's look at something else first...

With that thought in mind, Aoko began to look up some information that could improve her mood, such as the entertainment section.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it; once she did, she got furious!

It turns out that this bastard actually did hold a concert tour in the outer world, and more than once!

It turns out that all sorts of "handshake coupons" and related merchandise from this bastard have actually been sold at exorbitant prices in Hell, and there is a huge and secret market for them even in Heaven. Although they are officially prohibited by the Chief Executive of Heaven, there are actually numerous smuggling and secret auction channels. Not only do all the young ladies of the Fire Child who are in love keep several sets in their boudoirs, but even several of the seven seats in Heaven have been exposed to have large private collections!

It turns out that this bastard actually worked as an idol in Hell, and the title "Messiah" was even sung in Heaven before the Lord of Light died!

It turns out that "Messiah" not only means savior in a general sense, but was also his stage name when he was an idol!

It turns out that so many Fireborn ladies wanted to get into this bastard's bed that the line could stretch from the top of Heaven's Peak all the way through the nine levels of Hell and finally all the way to the bottomless abyss. And the number one fanatic fan was Azriel Azazel, one of the Seven Lords of Hell—that crazy woman even openly pushed for a bill in the Seven Lords of Hell aimed at abolishing the Soul-based system and replacing the traditional devil's currency system with NobuNobu coins!

However, that bill was recently vetoed by the chief governor of Hell, whose reason for vetoing it was that "NobuNobu coin" sounded too stupid and should be simply called "Nobu coin"...

According to a certain second-generation heiress from hell who loves donuts and wishes to remain anonymous, the two great rulers of hell are still in a refined and amicable exchange of opinions due to political differences!

What on earth is this "NobuNobu coin"?

When Qingzi found this item, she was initially very puzzled. As the investigation deepened, she learned that it was a commemorative token that had been sold in limited quantities during a certain event. One token was worth a huge amount of soul tokens and could circulate in both the Heavenly and Hell markets at the same time.

When she finally found the video information about the mysterious [NobuNobu coin] and unveiled its mystery, she found that this silver token, which resembled a large metal coin, was not so mysterious after all, except that the printed patterns on both sides of the token looked increasingly familiar...

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems...

After zooming in on the photo to a certain extent, Aoko finally saw the true appearance of the printed pattern, and then everything went black...

Isn't that a cartoonish chibi-style portrait of that bastard behind her?!

Aoko immediately disconnected the spell connecting to the 077 Agency terminal. She was afraid that if she continued watching, she wouldn't be able to resist turning around, grabbing that bastard's head, and giving him a good beating, thus completely ruining and missing out on this beautiful night...

Yes, a good night.

She may only have this one beautiful night in her life, depending on the solution to that final question...

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself, Aoko, who had fully realized what she had become in both heaven and hell during the time she was locked up in Agency 077, decided to stop caring about that chaotic outside world and instead focus all her attention on the present.

She silently looked up at the white moon hanging high in the night sky.

Silvery stardust, like a bridge of magpies, surrounded the pristine white moon, even tinging its halo with a faint blue hue.

BlueMoon does not refer to a blue moon, but rather to something that is impossible or extremely rare.

Yes, isn't that exactly what it is right now?

Two people from different worlds who would never have met, two time travelers who should have remained parallel lines for life, encountered each other twice and parted twice in a timeline spanning more than ten years. Now they meet again, pour out their hearts to each other, and finally stay together on this beautiful night.

Such a beautiful night is as rare as the blue moon throughout history.

Aoko gazed at the slightly bluish-white moon and sighed involuntarily.

Ugh……

Actually, there aren't any questions that absolutely need to be answered...

Actually, there's no such thing as a condition that absolutely wouldn't let him get away with it...

Actually, she was just simply unwilling to admit defeat...

Actually, she just wanted to hear the answer with her own eyes, even if there was only a one in a billion chance...

Actually, she just didn't want to lose to Shiki so easily...

Ugh……

Clearly, it would have been better not to delve into that answer...

If only I hadn't asked that question...

She had been nestled in his arms for so long...
