Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

"Hmm... Bai Mo, there's a lot of clutter upstairs. Why don't you go upstairs with them to collect... cough cough, I mean, how about we look for that 'Oracle Tablet' book?"

As for Bai E, I'd like to ask you to search for him in the courtyard and downstairs. "Xi Lian blinked her big, bright eyes and asked expectantly.

Bai E and Bai Mo exchanged a glance, Bai Mo's eyes filled with helplessness.

A hint of sympathy appeared in Bai E's eyes; he could probably understand Bai Mo's feelings at this moment.

After all, most of the ground floor is a courtyard, and although there are some rooms, there aren't many truly messy areas.

In comparison, there might be more clutter upstairs, making it more troublesome to clean up.

"Sister Xilian, did you really come to us just to draw the 'Oracle Card'? I feel like you need our help with something else? Like, helping you organize your..."

Bai Mo's feet had already touched the second-floor floor. But when he actually stepped onto the second floor, his words came to an abrupt halt. Because what appeared before him was not the chaotic mess he had imagined, but a clean, tidy, and well-organized room.

Everything here is arranged perfectly, without the slightest clutter. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting bright patches of light on the floor, filling the room with a warm and comfortable atmosphere, just like a real girl's room.

"Hehe, of course not." Xi Lian stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, a mischievous smile on her face. "The real reason I called you upstairs... is to find out what kind of secret you're hiding in your heart, Xiao Bai Mo~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly reached out like a cunning little fox, pulled Bai Mo all the way to the second floor.

"Xi... Sister Xilian, what are you saying...?" Bai Mo's eyelids trembled uncontrollably, as if trying to hide his inner unease.

"You can't fool me~ Little Bai Mo, ever since I told you last night that I would let you draw the 'Oracle Card', Little Bai Mo's heart has been beating much faster than usual."

Especially now, my heart is pounding so hard it makes me think that Xiao Baimo has finally fallen for me. Xi Lian smiled slightly.

Staring into Bai Mo's pupils, which resembled Bai E's, he tried to understand why his childhood friend was acting so strangely. "Can you tell me, little Bai Mo, what's making you so panicked?"

Seeing Xi Lian's concern, Bai Mo almost blurted everything out, but what should he tell her?

Could I tell Xi Lian that I know the plot—that Bai E, as the destined savior, will inevitably have his homeland invaded by the Black Tide?

After Bai E drew the cards, what awaited Ai Li Mi Xie, the small village in the middle of the wheat field that had nurtured her for 18 years, was utter destruction? Even Xi Lian would be stabbed to death by the arriving Dao Huo Bai E?

I've truly lived here for 18 years! I'm not some unlucky guy who was suddenly thrown in! I've tried desperately to save something, even deceiving myself by practicing swordsmanship with Bai E!

But what can I do? My blood isn't even gold! I'm not a Golden Child! If I hadn't known the plot beforehand, I myself would have perished in this catastrophe—along with… my parents in this world…

Bai Mo remained silent for a long time. "Sister Xi Lian, I've been having a bad feeling lately..." Bai Mo's voice was very low, as if he was hesitating.

“Little Bai Mo, you can tell me anything… anything…” Xi Lian immediately leaned forward, her voice filled with undisguised concern. She couldn’t even wait for Bai Mo to finish speaking before trying to comfort him. However, just as she began to respond…

"Xi Lian! Bai Mo! The oracle tablet has been found, it's here—" Downstairs, Bai E's clear and excited voice suddenly pierced through the floorboards.

The sudden shout abruptly cut off all of Xi Lian's subsequent words of comfort.

Her mouth was slightly open, and the words "You can tell me anything" got stuck in her throat. The gentleness and eagerness on her face froze instantly, then turned into a hint of helplessness at being disturbed and a slight annoyance. Her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Sister Xilian, I'm just... just a little confused about our future studying away from home." Bai Mo suddenly came to her senses and took the opportunity to run downstairs as if she were escaping.

Upstairs, Xi Lian watched Bai Mo come downstairs, a sense of defeat showing in her eyes for the first time. "Sigh, little Bai Mo still won't tell me? He clearly sensed it a long time ago, that pain etched in his eyes..."

"Never mind, never mind. I feel like I'm already very lucky to have met Bai Mo," Xi Lian comforted herself and walked down the stairs.

(Xi Lian: My family members are so lucky, they got gold in a single draw.)

Fire Thief: Man! What can I say? When did this gacha system change? Xi Lian got a gold card with a single pull, but I haven't gotten one in over 30 million pulls?

Chapter 3 'Savior' Card: Quack! Pah! Xi Lian, how can you be so selfish? Pah!

"Are you alright, bro? I went all out and found that box containing the oracle as fast as I could! Did Xi Lian make you too tired?"

"Oh, shh—keep your voice down, Xi Lian is coming downstairs." Bai E said, nudging Bai Mo's ribs lightly with his elbow.

Xi Lian's complexion had returned to normal. She hummed a light tune and walked forward with light steps.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bai'er. Let me see this box... Huh? What's going on? There's only a letter in the box?"

At this moment, Bai Er pointed to the end of the letter, where there was a small paw print, and said, "This handwriting... looks like the work of those little goblins in the Lost Labyrinth!"

"Oh? Really?" Xi Lian's eyes lit up. "It seems we really haven't gone to play with them in far too long!"

"Speaking of which, Bai Mo, do you still remember how to get to the little fairies?" She asked Bai Mo seemingly casually, but her tone carried a hint of expectation.

Bai Mo, still with his carefree attitude, replied, "Of course! Only innocent children can enter the Labyrinth of the Lost, it was the highest honor of our childhood!"

"Haha, that's good!" Xi Lian laughed happily. "Then, let's set off without delay! Last stop, the Lost Maze?" After saying that, she squinted her eyes and turned to walk towards the backyard.

In a corner of the backyard, the three stood in front of a hollow tree.

“This is it,” Bai’er said, clearing away the weeds around the tree hollow. “So, who’s going in first… why are you all looking at me?”

“Because you’re the biggest, Bai’er, if you can get in, then we can all get in,” Bai Mo replied quietly.

"Ah, ah? Okay, alright." Bai E scratched his head and crawled into the tree hole.

“What a reckless fellow,” Xi Lian said, looking at the tree hollow. “Don’t you think so, Bai Mo?”

“Yes, so I should be the older brother.” Bai Mo smiled. “Let’s go, Bai E should already be waiting for us over there.”

"Finally, I'm in. Hmm, it's still the same as before, nothing has changed at all."

Xi Lian took a deep breath, feeling the familiar atmosphere around her. She gently stroked her pink hair, which cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and smiled with a sense of relief.

Standing next to Xi Lian, Bai Mo straightened up, stretching his somewhat stiff body as he pushed aside some vines blocking his view.

He looked at Xi Lian and smiled helplessly, "But we've changed a lot. I almost couldn't even fit through the tree hole."

Just then, a figure appeared at the end of the passage. Bai Er stood there with a smile on his face, and beside him was a lavender-colored "flying rabbit".

The rabbit's ears swayed gently with its movements, and its big, round eyes looked at Xi Lian and Bai Mo with delight.

"You've finally arrived. I've already inquired with the little fairies." Bai'e's voice echoed in the passage. "The 'Oracle' book is with Grandma Village Chief."

Upon hearing this, Xi Lian's eyes lit up, and she quickly took a few steps forward. Her gaze fell on the lavender-colored flying rabbit, and her smile grew even brighter: "Oh~ it's Laila fan? It's been so long!"

"Besides Xiaobai, Xiaolian is here too? Amazing! And Little Xiaobai too? Laila fans are so happy today!"

The lavender-colored fairy excitedly stomped her feet in mid-air, then gracefully flew to Xi Lian's side.

Bai Mo touched his nose. Although he was called that when he was a child, he still felt offended by the nickname "Little Bai".

So he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, let's go find the village chief and get the register back first. As for catching up, we can talk about that on the way."

A wide-open space, similar to a plaza.

"Village Chief! Xiao Lian, Xiao Bai and Xiao Xiao Bai are back to see us!" Laila Mi excitedly flew to another gray-white flying rabbit and delivered the message in a cheerful tone.

"Hehe, children, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Mi~." Doromi, the village chief of the Lost Realm, greeted the three people standing in front of him with a kind smile and a warm tone.

Xi Lian smiled gently and replied, "Village Chief, you're still so energetic, that's wonderful!" Her voice was filled with respect and affection for the little fairy.

Then, Xi Lian seemed to remember something and quickly said, "By the way, Village Chief, we've come here this time to..."

However, before Xi Lian could finish speaking, a book radiating a deep blue light appeared out of thin air in her hand. This book looked exactly like the "As I Write" book in the game; it was the Oracle Book.

Doromi looked at the oracle book in Xilian's hand and said, "Take it, child." Its tone was tinged with apology, "I'm sorry to have summoned you back here in this way."

Hearing this, Bai'e couldn't help but feel puzzled. He frowned and asked, "Hmm? Is something wrong, Village Chief?"

The village chief slowly shook his head, his expression turning solemn. He began to recount more details to the three: "Recently, I received an oracle from Eulonis, who told me that a great calamity is about to befall the outside world..."

As the village chief spoke, Xi Lian's gaze kept falling on Bai Mo. However, Bai Mo seemed somewhat absent-minded, and his attention did not seem to be fully focused on the village chief's words.

“If that’s the case… Xi Lian, then our plans to go out…” Bai E’s expression became a little serious.

"I have a suggestion," suggested a Doraemon fan. "Why don't we have Xilian give us a reading right here? Let's do some divination. If fate is willing to reveal its true nature to us, it would put our minds at ease, wouldn't it?"

"What if the divination results are not satisfactory..." Bai E asked with some concern.

“Then let’s replace all the cards in the tarot book with good cards and do another divination,” Bai Mo replied habitually, then froze himself. “Ahem, sorry.”

“Uh… it’s alright? But only sincere inquiries will receive a response of equal weight.” Xi Lian spread out the divination book. “Bai E, would you like to go first? Or…”

"Let's do it together. If Bai E draws all the good cards, I won't accept the divination results," Bai Mo said, unusually serious. He reached out his hand towards the divination book.

“Although the order in which the cards are drawn won’t affect the result, since you’ve said so, brother, let’s do it together.” Bai E also reached out his hand towards the card book.

I wonder what card I'll draw? That guy Bai Er is definitely going to be the 'savior'.

I hope I don't get a terrible result. Come to think of it, my divination results have always been different. On the contrary, Bai'e always seems to be my savior…

Huh? This card is so powerful! It looks like it's trying to escape? Did I draw 'Traitor'? Does that mean I'm going to be replaced by Sai Maomao and get attacked by the reincarnated Bai E? Are you kidding me?

"Wow~ I didn't expect to get so many responses. Let me see what you all drew..." Xi Lian's tone was full of surprise, but the next moment she seemed to be stuck, her mouth agape and unable to respond at all.

Huh? Bai Mo stared blankly at the 'Savior' card that had appeared in both his and Bai E's hands.

This...this script is wrong! Shouldn't it be Bai E embarking on the path of saving the world alone? How come...

With a sharp rip, Xi Lian suddenly snatched the "Savior" card from the two of them, tore it in half before they could react, and then stuffed it back into their hands.

(The "Savior" card: Quack! Xi Lian, you dog! How can you be so selfish? Bah!)

Chapter 4 Golden Finger: Bai Mo, look, you're not happy now that I've actually come.

This script is wrong!

Bai Mo stared blankly at the half of the 'Savior' in his hand, which still had rough edges.

Who the hell wrote this script? Is it even possible to have even half a page of this? To have an ordinary person like myself save the world alongside the most perfect Golden Descendant? How could I possibly have such a dream?

"Xi... Sister Xilian. You're joking, right? Even though you always fairly divide my snacks and toys with Bai'er's, half and half each."

"But... can this thing really be torn?" Bai Mo's eyelids twitched. He looked at Xi Lian in disbelief.

Bai E watched Bai Mo from the side. Although he was initially just as bewildered as Bai Mo, after a while, he suddenly came to his senses and excitedly said:

"Haha, although I don't know why I became the savior, this is so cool! Bai Mo, it seems that we brothers might really become great heroes who save the world! Uh... or maybe save the Ai Li Mi Xie?"

Xi Lian put her two little hands behind her back and swayed her body mischievously. "Hmm~ If it's something that Bai Mo and Bai E jointly own, it should be divided equally."

"Besides... if there really is a catastrophe, two saviors are definitely better than one, aren't they? Okay, okay. How about we take a look at the other cards you drew?"

"No, this isn't about dividing it equally! I..." Bai Mo wanted to argue further.

"Alright, alright. Little Bai Mo. Go see the people you'll meet in the future. Bai E is all in the past now, isn't she?" Xi Lian transformed the responses they had just received from drawing cards into physical forms carrying their memories, manifesting them in various corners of the plaza.

Bai Mo looked somewhat blankly at the few familiar fragments of memories around the square, and at Bai E, who was already engaged in an enthusiastic conversation.

"Kin-ori" - Aglaia

"Door Maker" - Tirispius

"King" - One Against All

And then there's "The Wanderer"—Sai Fei...

Has Bai Er already drawn all the cards? Doesn't that mean...?

Bai Mo suddenly rushed towards the exit of the maze like a madman, the half of the 'Savior' in his hand fluttering down to Xi Lian's feet.

"Bai Mo? Your divine decree..."

"Child? You..."

"Sister Xilian, please, please don't leave the Maze! Bai E, come out with me quickly!" Bai Mo had already reached the vicinity of the exit of the Maze.

It's alright, you've been prepared for this for eighteen years. Isn't that right? It's alright.

You secretly dug a hole in your house big enough to hide snacks for two people, and deliberately let your parents find it. You even casually mentioned to them that you were hoarding snacks so you could hide in case of danger. And now, Bai Er has only just finished drawing his cards…

Bai Mo ran to the exit and quickly lay down to crawl towards the outside.

As long as... as long as they hide...

And Pesso, Livia... those hidden spots I told them about when we played hide-and-seek a few days ago...

And there's Uncle Hunter...

No... don't think too much. Bai E is right behind me, everyone... everyone will be fine.

A noise came from behind, mixed with Bai E's confused shouts. Halfway through the burrow, Bai Mo felt the surrounding earth tremble violently, his heart pounding. It's here! The black tide that destroyed the Ai Li Secret Pavilion! It's here!

Bai Mo, emerging from the tree hollow, immediately pulled out the rusty shovel he had prepared too early from a hidden corner. He then kicked the hoe he had prepared for Bai E to a conspicuous spot at the entrance of the tree hollow. He ran towards home.

[An individual was detected...]

The colors in his peripheral vision changed rapidly as he ran; Bai Mo swatted aside a Black Tide grunt that lunged at him. But he seemed to hear something…

[Core Protocol Activated]

I can't worry about that now, home is just ahead, Father, Mother...
