Chapter 670 The Most Ordinary and Happiest Person
Chapter 670 The Most Ordinary and Happiest Person
The sense of déjà vu that is difficult to express in words reappeared in An Ming's eyes. It had never been so strong before. It was not that it had never appeared, but he did not care about it at the time.
Yeah, why does everything feel so familiar?
It was not until the saint took the initiative to point out the truth that the so-called confusion of the authorities was dispelled, and An Ming also clearly recognized his situation for the first time.
The saint in front of him is just a saint from the moment he puts on the mask again. He must follow the actions of the saint in Thetis' memory and guide the past in his memory without any change.
And just now was the last and only chance. The saint chose to reveal his identity and told him the three most important things.
Don't give up hope until the end. That is to say, even though the future will be full of difficulties, as long as you don't give up, there is still a chance to change.
The answer is in his heart, but at the moment An Ming doesn’t even know what the answer is.
And in the end, the saint's tone sounded more like a request, asking him to stop Aini's behavior before something irreversible really happened.
The language spoken by the saint automatically switched back to Tethys, which was the bird language that An Ming had studied for ten years but still could not understand. He could only half understand it at best.
"give it to me."
Facing the saint's mumbling, An Ming replied in earnest: "As a citizen of Tethys No. 3, I will never do it again next time." He barely understood that the saint was listing the evidence of his crimes, which was enough to be beheaded from the first day of the Chinese New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
But so what? He didn’t abduct the saint. It was obvious that she came willingly.
Adhering to the principle of not revealing the truth, An Ming pretended to be as conspicuous as possible, and finally turned around and ran away under the gaze of the saint.
The Holy City Guards behind him began to carry out his familiar daily training of the Tethys Marathon, but this time they ran from the top of the mountain to the foot.
This period of time is just right for An Ming to think fully. First of all, if he wants to save Aini, he must stop the five-year ceremony from starting.
But if the ritual cannot be started normally, Tethys will encounter an ominous tide under the shadow of the silver moon, and then the sea of despair will flood the entire planet.
There must be a way to have the best of both worlds. Gods, or star gods, will not do meaningless things, which means that the existence of Tethys must represent some kind of meaning.
Remember, memorize.
This is the word he heard most after coming to Tethys. So the current situation of Tethys may not be caused by detachment, but it is definitely related to detachment.
But after confirming the floating, there are two more critical things, that is the time node of the universe at this moment.
The time when Fu Li officially appeared in the universe as a star god was at the end of Xing Huanyu's star calendar. What if now is the time node before Fu Li became the star god of memory?
So, is everything that is happening now related to the ceremony of Fuli's ascension to Star God?
What do the three moons rotating over Tethys symbolize?
An Ming's mind had never been thinking as fast as it was at this moment. He was sure that the matter of Thethys was related to memory, but from the look in the saint's eyes he could tell that it was far more than that simple.
If only there were someone who knew more... An Ming's mind flashed with the image of 036, the saint before Annie and the best candidate to have completed a full five-year ritual.
If we can find 036's whereabouts again, perhaps we can get more accurate intelligence.
But 036 once stepped into the sky under his witness and has never appeared since then. If, just like every five years in Thethys, the saint of the past walked to the end of the sky to call for the golden moon, the new saint will come again and continue to bless Thethys for the next five years under the guidance of the gods.
Perhaps Annie knows more inside information about 036. It seems that I have to carefully consider what kind of delicious food to use in exchange for this information.
After all, Annie is indeed a terrifying existence, which involves a truth of the universe, that is, cute girls cannot be praised, and once praised, they will become even more cute.
This is the experience An Ming gained from his time with Annie. In order to prevent Annie from becoming even more adorable and irresistible in the praise, he must seal her mouth with delicious food at a speed faster than light when he returns home. This is the only way to win.
Of course, going down the mountain was much easier than going up it. In addition, there were the Holy City Guards following behind to supervise the movement. So An Ming successfully returned to the cabin in just a few hours.
The warm yellow light coming through the window made An Ming's heart tighten. Could it be that this girl hasn't slept yet?
The sound of the key turning woke Annie up from her light sleep on the dining table. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and raised her head. In front of her was the food that had been reheated repeatedly and looked a little listless.
"Welcome home..."
Before the girl could finish her slightly nasal mumbling, her little head fell back onto the dining table and she began to breathe peacefully once again.
An Ming tiptoed to Annie's side, and gently brushed the red mark on the girl's cheek left by her sleeve with his fingertips. The moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains, illuminating her beauty.
I clearly said that I wouldn't wait for him, but in the end, I was still fooled by this little liar.
Looking at Annie gently, An Ming curled up his lips into a smile, and all the confusion in his heart disappeared at this moment.
It’s actually a very simple thing.
When the world is on the verge of destruction, there is only one thing he needs to do.
That is to hold Annie's hand.
If it was for Annie, he was willing to give up everything and do everything for her.
As long as this could bring Annie a future where she could smile and say she was really happy, he would not regret it.
An Ming carefully picked up the sleeping Annie, looked at the girl's innocent profile and the curve at the corner of her lips, as if she was dreaming about something.
He said to himself in his heart -
Even if it means subverting the whole world.
Even if I have to gamble my entire future.
As long as I can see Annie's happy smile, it's all worth it.
Even gods can't take Aini away from him.
An Ming put Annie on the bed and looked at her quietly, but the outline of a plan had already begun to form in his mind.
The information the saint told him did have some reference value, but most of it was currently incomprehensible riddles, and he had not yet obtained the most crucial information.
The most crucial thing is the stairs to the unknown sky. What happened to 036 after reaching the end? The truth hidden by Thethys may be hidden in the secret of the saint.
If all this is really just another reincarnation, the first thing An Ming thinks about is not reincarnation, but it means that he will indeed find the truth about Tethys.
It is for this reason that the cycle can continue, rather than ending in Tethys.
In the future, he might go to a more distant universe to truly get to know the characters of the Star Railroad... but if there is no Aini in that future, all this will be meaningless.
The time for the ceremony is getting closer and closer. When Aini climbs the ladder to the sky, it means that her mission is completely over. She will disappear completely in Tethys like 036, without leaving any trace, not even a name.
People only remember the name of the saint, and no one cares who the saint is.
Soon a new saint will appear to replace Annie, maybe 038 or some other name, but that means nothing to An Ming.
The only person he knew was Annie, the girl with long silver hair who was a little greedy but also gentle and lovely.
The encounter on the beach that year was the only salvation in this lonely world of two moons. It was Annie who gave him the courage to continue living and made him understand what true protection was.
It was she who taught him how to live and how to love.
The boy has grown up and has fallen completely in love with Annie during his time with her.
It may take ten years for a boy to grow up, or it may take just a moment, but he has made up his mind when he saw Annie's profile.
No matter what kind of doomsday is at the end of that staircase, An Ming will save Aini and break the shackles of the saint.
Even if the end is the twilight of the gods, he will tear apart fate and take her back.
No one is born to be a container. Annie is just an ordinary girl, why should she endure all that pain?
Why should she bear the weight of the entire Tethys?
Annie would definitely stop him. She would look at him with her blue eyes, shake her head and say, "Don't go." She would also stubbornly push him away, just like when she was standing alone on the edge of the coast, choosing to walk alone towards her destiny.
But this time.
Let him carry it.
With the will of a mortal, to carry the whole world on your shoulders.
If this is the only way to save Annie - then, before so-called stopping Annie, he must first save her.
The grand escape into the sunshine will surely be the most romantic ending.
An Ming will use his own hands to create the ending that belongs to him and Annie. Having come this far, he is no longer confused and will never stop.
If the world wants to devour Aini, then the world is his enemy.
All he wanted to protect was that smile.
...
...
"Um..."
Annie held her breath, her fingertips trembling slightly, as serious as if she was facing some terrifying enemy.
"Um--!"
With a clear "click" sound, the eggshell cracked along an elegant arc, and the egg liquid fell precisely into the center of the bottom of the pot, forming a perfect circle among the sizzling oil.
"Success! An Ming An Ming, I finally succeeded!"
Annie raised the eggshell and jumped up excitedly like a child, with a smile from the heart on her face.
An Ming could not remember exactly how many times he had done this, but this had become some kind of strange daily ritual. Ever since the Saint Lady failed in her first attempt to crack the eggshell, this morning ritual had continued without fail.
If I remember correctly, the highest record was eating fried eggs in shells for fourteen consecutive mornings. The moment An Ming saw Annie succeed, he suddenly had the urge to burst into tears.
Annie used a spatula to carefully put the fried eggs into the plate. Looking at the exceptionally round and perfect fried eggs, the Saint Lady, who was usually used to eating tributes openly, also showed a tearful expression.
"Open your mouth," Annie's eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. She picked up the plate and stood in front of An Ming. She picked up the egg with chopsticks and put it to An Ming's mouth.
Although it is just a very small thing, it is very important to Annie.
She would always recall the day when she first came to the wooden house, standing in the vegetable garden and staring through the gap in the wooden window at the boy who was frying eggs seriously in the kitchen.
At that time, there was always a deep worry between the boy's eyebrows. No matter what he was doing, it seemed as if he was weighed down by a heavy burden. At first, she didn't understand what An Ming was carrying.
It was not until after that day that she began to want to know more about An Ming. She wanted to know why the food on Blue Star was so delicious. She wanted to take the initiative to touch the planet that belonged to An Ming and was so far away from her.
Blue Star sounds like a very romantic planet. Maybe, as An Ming said, it is a planet the same color as her eyes.
Aini wanted to know what kind of planet that was as blue as her eyes was, what kind of memories she would encounter there, and how was it different from Tethys?
Would the coast there also be starlit? Would the moon at night be like the silver moon of Tethys? What would the so-called sun look like during the day?
I want to see the world where An Ming is in person, and I want to go further and touch the planet where An Ming left his traces.
As a saint, she has been responsible for remembering all the memories of Thethys since her birth, but those memories were never the past she wanted to remember, and they were all memories that had nothing to do with her.
It was not until she met An Ming that Annie had the memories she wanted to remember for the first time - those bits and pieces that belonged only to her and An Ming were the most precious memories, memories she did not want to forget no matter what.
These seemingly simple, warm moments that belong only to them are the truly important memories.
"delicious."
After hearing the sincere evaluation from An Ming, Annie suddenly felt her eyes a little sore. In fact, she was always stupid and even took her a long time to learn simple things like cooking.
As a saint, she was born with powerful fighting skills, but she couldn't even control the strength of the eggshell, and sometimes confused salt and sugar.
But An Ming never showed any impatience, and always said: "It doesn't matter if you can't cook, I'm still here."
It was then that Annie realized that it didn't matter if she was clumsy, because she was with you.
Everything we do together has meaning.
Her life will no longer be as meaningless as the name 037 once was. Every minute and every second she spends with An Ming is meaningful.
The encounter with An Ming made the idea of “living” feel warm for the first time.
No longer a container, no longer a cold machine, no longer the Saint of Tethys.
She is Annie, and only Annie.
The most ordinary yet happiest person in the world.
"Kiss me!"
"Why so suddenly...?"
"I like Anming the most~"
