Chapter 93: Two Arixes
The training base was shrouded in gloom.
At the ergency eting called by the Alliance President, the expressions of the five Admirals were grim.
"As is customary, whenever a hero of the Alliance sacrifices their life, the morial Hall will officially publish their life experiences and achievents. We are holding this eting to ask everyone whether we should announce Arix’s story," Zeta asked, breaking the heavy silence as he looked at the five somber admirals.
"It doesn’t matter to ," Matis responded. His usual vigor was gone, his silver hair more pronounced. Since learning his granddaughter had fallen into the black hole, Matis seed to have aged years overnight.
"Announce it. There are a lot of rumors on the interstellarnet. It’s ti to clear Arix’s na," Mael, holding traditional views, emphasized the importance of reputation.
"Those who spread rumors should be sentenced or at least, fined. Charge them with insulting a military martyr," Fane said coldly. Slandering military martyrs is a severe cri in the Alliance. That suggestion showed how much Fane cherished Arix.
"I also suggest that the military file lawsuits against these people to hold them legally accountable. These individuals enjoy the peace brought by others’ sacrifices yet fail to appreciate it. Many of them hide in dark corners, judging others with the darkest of worldviews," Sykes added, clearly displeased.
"Huh, they think they can escape by hiding in dark corners. I’ve already gathered their information. Zeta, it’s up to you now," Virek said, handing over a thick stack of docunts to Zeta.
Zeta skimd through the docunts, his eyes sharp. "I’ll discuss with the judicial departnt on how to deal with these irresponsible people," he declared. The five admirals trusted Zeta; with him taking action, these rumor-mongers would at least face severe consequences.
After the eting, the Alliance released three headlines on the interstellar net.
The first headline announced that any future comnts insulting martyrs or soldiers could be subject to legal action. This was well-received by the people of the Alliance.
So accounts continued to make jokes about Arix’s sacrifice, but investigations revealed that these account holders were not from the Alliance. Most people simply laughed it off and moved on.
The second headline detailed Arix’s life and contributions to the Alliance. It was then that people discovered that Drexel and Arix, whom they had shipped as a couple, were actually siblings. This revelation shocked many fans who had supported the pair, leaving them in disbelief.
Soon, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that Arix was also the researcher behind the psychic power healing potion.
However, before everyone could fully celebrate the revelation of Arix as a potion genius, the third interstellarnet headline dropped: "Yesterday, in the Sugli Forest, Arix sacrificed herself to save nurous classmates from an insectoid massacre. She delayed the attackers long enough for others to escape but ultimately fell into a black hole and are now tragically missing."
Falling into a black hole was effectively a death sentence.
In the entire history of the Alliance, no one who had fallen into a black hole had ever returned alive.
Realizing this, those people, who had been following the story, felt as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt.
Upon seeing the final headline, many people couldn’t hold back their tears. After almost crying their eyes out, a large number of Alliance citizens spontaneously went to the guarded outskirts of the Sugli Forest to lay flowers for Arix.
The compassionate people of the Alliance used these flowers to express their tribute and sorrow for the martyr Arix.
Chapter 105 Two Arixes
While the world outside mourned the loss of Arix, inside the black hole, a young woman was busy giving Arix a piece of her mind.
"Hey, Raya! How long are you going to sleep? I don’t have much ti left!" an irate female voice echoed.
Arix groggily opened her eyes to see her past life’s face, clearly upset. Still dazed, Arix stared blankly for a few seconds before letting out a piercing scream that echoed through the black hole.
"What the hell? Where am I? Help!" Arix shouted, trying to run but finding herself unable to move. She was trapped in a transparent spherical barrier, forced to watch her past self slowly approach.
Cupid, equally confused, joined in the screaming and attempted to flee, while Vita and Sophia remained calmly squatting in place.
"Don’t co any closer! I’m warning you, co any closer and I’ll fight back!" Arix yelled, on the verge of a breakdown.
"Raya, are you out of your mind? You’ve been in my body for so many years, and you’re still this scared of ?" "Arix" looked at her with disdain, her tone full of irritation.
"What are you talking about? When was I in your body for ten years?" Arix’s eyes widened with fear, tears welling up as she hugged Cupid. Both human and tiger looked pathetically innocent, as if the young woman before them was so kind of villain, and they were her persecuted victims.
"Hah!" "Arix" scoffed, pointing to her own face. "I’m Arix, got it?"
"Got it!" Arix and Cupid nodded fearfully, but Arix quickly realized sothing was off and shook her head. "Wait, no, I’m the real Arix. Have I missed my past life so much that I’ve developed a split personality?"
"Arix" closed her eyes in exasperation and took a deep breath. Then, she delivered a swift blow to Arix’s head, shouting, "You are Raya Kering, and I am Arix Vetti! Got it now? If not, I’ll fix that for you."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!" Arix cried, clutching her head where a lump had ford. She squatted down, looking pitifully at "Arix". But seeing her angry eyes, Arix quickly nodded, still tearful. "Got it, I got it. But why have we switched places? And how are we seeing each other now?"
Arix’s question actually stumped "Arix
