"Alicia?"
"Well, it's me."
After receiving a response from Alicia, Yun Fuyu still didn't know whether the other party was genuine or not.
He held up the thick, long pink hair in his hand, staring at the back of Alicia's head, and asked questioningly, "Is this yours?"
Cute Licia's pink ponytail was still fluttering behind her, still looking as beautiful as ever.
She smiled helplessly: "That's hard to explain."
Yun Fuyu: "No matter how difficult it is to explain, I need an answer. Otherwise, I can't believe you."
“Alright…” Alicia sighed and said—
"…………"
"?"
Her lips moved several times, clearly indicating she was trying to speak. But what Yun Fuyu heard was a deafening silence.
Yes, a deafening silence.
Seeing Yun Fuyu's puzzled expression, Alicia frowned slightly, secretly feeling a bit overwhelmed. After thinking carefully, she suddenly had a good idea.
"Ah Yun, do you know the concept of the Sacred Mark Space?"
This time, Yun Fuyu heard it. He nodded, recalling what Mei had once said: "In the imaginary world, things that originally cannot exist or be represented are one of the fundamental elements that constitute this world. And things such as will, stories, and narratives will take concrete form here."
"Dr. Mei believes that by using the Stigmata, all of humanity's information can be uploaded to the imaginary world, forming something called the Stigmata Space. Here, humanity's power will be inherited and its will will be sublimated, making it the most powerful force that humanity can muster."
Alicia nodded, then said, "In the concept of the Stigmata Space, a person has lost the concepts of death and life. You understand that, right?"
Yun Fuyu frowned slightly: "Because a person's information represents that person's existence, so in the Sacred Mark Space, his information is eternal, and his life is eternal."
This viewpoint is very interesting, and Yun Fuyu couldn't help but start thinking: "Actually, it is also true from the perspective of the tree of imaginary numbers. People can only die 'after death', but not 'before death'."
In other words, in the long river of time, once a person has existed, they will forever roam within it, the only difference being whether they roam in the "past," "present," or "future."
"Yes, you're right! You get it so quickly, that's so true to you!"
Alicia smiled and praised him, then said meaningfully, "Those who die are still alive, but those who die are not necessarily truly dead. Because in the concept of the gods, they are eternally alive."
"...So does this have anything to do with my question? I just want you to know if you really are Alicia, not to discuss this kind of stuff."
Yun Fuyu looked completely bewildered.
Of course, I enjoy discussing philosophical matters most with Seele! She has one percent divine authority, and you could say that her thinking is most in tune with Yunfuyu's, without exception.
However, could Alicia be an exception?
Shaking his head, he dismissed the jumbled thoughts. Although he couldn't prove whether Alicia in front of him was real or not, judging from how much she had talked to him, Yun Fuyu's minimum 40% favorability towards her had jumped to 50%, reaching the point where he believed her.
...Well, who told her to be Alicia?
~
Alicia hesitated, repeating herself several times, before finally sighing, "That's all I can say. Figure out the rest yourself."
Yun Fuyu rolled her eyes, ignoring her words, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that for now. Why did this place become like this? Is there a Honkai attack? I'm going to find Seele, do you want to come with me?"
Alicia shook her head, then nodded: "It's not a Honkai, but it's almost. It's mainly because of you &¥*@%!&…………Sigh, never mind!! I won't say anymore!"
Seeing Yun Fuyu's blank expression again, Alicia sighed heavily, no longer wanting to talk about these things.
She replied, "I also want to see Seele. Let's go. But you should be prepared, Seele might not be here."
"...So this isn't reality after all?"
"Hmm?... Probably."
That concludes the discussion.
……
As she traversed the misty forest, Alicia shattered countless twisted, withered trees along the way. Wherever she stepped, the world underwent a dramatic transformation. The mist dissipated, pink starlight illuminated the surroundings, and the previously eerie world returned to normal.
To be honest, Yun Fuyu had developed a certain dependence on her, feeling that it was really nice to have her around.
Shifting her gaze from Alicia's retreating figure, Yun Fuyu said expectantly, "The place where Xier and I parted ways is just ahead."
I can already see the trees covered in pink in my sight. They are cherry trees that have been nurtured by the power of clouds and rain. Seele must be there.
Alicia gazed into the distance and saw the cherry blossom tree. After observing it closely, she couldn't help but gasp and instinctively wanted to call out to Yun Fuyu... but Yun Fuyu didn't notice her and walked straight up to her.
As you get closer, the outline of the cherry blossom tree gradually becomes clearer, and you can barely make out one black and red, and one blue and white shape. Closer still, the pink cherry blossoms are faintly visible, and the black and red and blue and white colors become much clearer. Closer still…
Yun Fuyu clenched her fist tightly, gripping the long pink hair. Her nails dug into her flesh, but she was completely unaware.
That's not pink cherry blossoms swaying in the wind! It's clearly strands of long pink hair hanging from the branches and fluttering in the breeze!
The Lolita dresses belonging to the two Seeles lay spread out on the ground, as if the owners of the clothes had vanished into thin air, leaving only the two black and white twin spider lilies blooming alluringly.
The rush of blood to her head almost made her brain explode. Yun Fuyu closed her eyes, frowned, and struggled for a long time before gradually accepting the situation and slowly opening her eyes. The view was still the same.
He asked, somewhat dazed, "Alicia, what exactly is going on?"
"..."
"Alicia? Alicia?"
"..."
No one responded.
Yun Fuyu turned around and looked at the spot that had been behind her.
Alicia was nowhere to be found. The neatly arranged, gnarled, withered trees, swaying like demons, stared at the uninvited guest who had intruded, their expressions mocking.
"..."
"..."
"..."
They waved their branches silently, as if approaching step by step. Yun Fuyu couldn't help but take a step back, then another... and stepped onto the picnic mat spread on the ground.
Two spider lilies transformed into a gaping maw in the abyss, tearing him apart, chewing him, and swallowing him whole before he could react.
"------!"
Suddenly, Alicia's warning voice rang in her ears, melodious and ethereal, its tone fluctuating wildly and incoherently: "Don't go over there! Seele isn't there, I..."
"us……"
The sound gradually faded away.
"I……"
“I will tear your beautiful skin apart, suck your blood, and devour your flesh; I will dismantle your perfect skeleton and witness the magnificent sight of your bright red internal organs being pierced and exploded.”
Her voice was as sweet and affectionate as a young girl in love: "My god, my beloved god, my dearest love. I will devour you with the rest of humanity, and I will keep you forever within my body, never to be separated again..."
"God loves the world, and you love me too, and you will understand me, right?"
"You're so delicious...hehehehe...!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I will take you away from here. Trust me, and then, entrust everything to me."
I couldn't hear what she was saying.
