Lu Siya's brooding expression indicated that it was difficult for her to understand Su Mulian's feelings.
However, ng Chao, who was in the sa boat as Su Mulian, instantly understood what she ant.
It was true. When ng Chao first awakened his mories of the apocalypse during his third year in high school, he only saw ten thousand suns shining, burning, exploding, and destroying everything. He could also vaguely rember so fragnted and unsystematic future martial arts.
As for the reasons that led to the apocalypse, such as the abnormal expansion of the nine ga corporations, the improper response to the monster civilization, as well as the unnecessary conflict between Dragon City and Picturesque Orchid Lake, he slowly pieced them together after a long ti of careful consideration and sorting out plenty of clues.
"At first, I didn't know what I should do to stop the apocalypse. I only knew that with the awakening of my apocalyptic mories, I gained the mysterious ability of 'rapid self-healing' and 'injury transfer.'
Su Mulian continued, "Naturally, I linked these two things together and believed that the heavens must have had a reason for awakening my mories and abilities.
"Perhaps, as long as I used the two abilities of rapid self-healing and injury transfer to the maximum extent, I could change the future and prevent the apocalypse.
"It just so happened that Leprosy Village, where I lived, had a large number of deford people who carried congenital genetic defects and were contaminated by acquired spirit energy. They suffered from all kinds of rare and complicated diseases.
"I thought that if I treated them, I could at least gain their trust and support. In case I told them everything in the future, even if others didn't believe , the patients I treated definitely would.
"With the intention of giving this a try, I used my ability for the first ti.
"I didn't know that the most unbelievable thing would happen. When I tried my best to treat the patients, I entered a mysterious trance-like state without realizing.
"It was as if a gate leading to the future had been opened deep inside my brain. Trendous sounds, pictures, information, and clues of the future world spurted out of a broken kaleidoscope and presented themselves before my eyes.
"This further solidified my thoughts.
"The heavens gave all of this for a reason.
"Saving lives and changing the future are indeed two sides of the sa coin.
"As for transferring the pain of the mutation disease to myself, the heart-wrenching and even excruciating pain is certainly unbearable for ordinary people, but for , who has been repeatedly burned to ashes by the flas of doomsday in every long, almost endless night, it is just the scorching afternoon sun of sumr. The pain is bearable.
"It was during that period of ti that I saw, or rather, I thought of, 'ng Chao' and 'Lu Siya.' I knew that you two would be the future great figures in Dragon City who would be able to stir up clouds and rain, and control the world.
"However, at that ti, I was just a little girl who had so influence in Leprosy Village.
"As for Leprosy Village, it's just a slum deep in the Lair that is regarded as an ominous place by all 'normal people' and is kept away from.
"The information in Leprosy Village is limited. I can't match the two nas I vaguely heard in the nightmare to the nas, 'ng Chao' and 'Lu Siya' in real life.
"Even if I did, it would be useless. At that ti, it was impossible for to leave Leprosy Village or even the Lair to go to the outside world to find you.
"Besides, even if I found you, what could I do? Do you want to give you a warning, that your every move may lead to the destruction of Dragon City?
"The problem is that I don't know which decision you made was fatal enough to lead to irreversible consequences.
"To be fair, since you could lead the Dragon City civilization to a staged victory in the Other World War, most of the decisions you made were definitely correct. At least, they were effective.
"Assuming that the ratio of correct decisions to wrong decisions was 95% to 5%, how could I tell which 95% of decisions were correct and which 5% were wrong?
"After that, we t in the incident where the Supernatural Entity, Vortex wreaked havoc in the Lair.
"When I first heard you introduce yourselves, I was indeed shocked.
"In my nightmare of the apocalypse, you were all important figures who could decide the fate of tens of millions of people with a single word.
"In the nightmare, Dragon City had been in a state of war for a long ti. In order to win, it had no choice but to introduce a lot of cold, radical, extre, and even bottom-line policies. As the advocates and implenters of the policies, the two of you can be said to have 'partial reputations.'
"Whether it was ng Chao, who was known as a tyrant by many people who opposed him, or Lu Siya, who was known as the Queen of Monsters, in my mories of the apocalypse, they were both very oppressive. They made people respect and fear them, and people feared them even more than they respected them.
"When I face you, I'm like a little mouse squeezed between two Apocalyptic Beasts. It's already my limit to be able to breathe normally.
"After you joined hands and miraculously defeated the Supernatural Entity, Vortex, turning the tide right before the Lair fell into chaos, I had no more doubts about your identity. I was certain that you were the key to changing the future, and that you were not two people with the sa na and surna.
"However, the social experience from the apocalyptic nightmare also told that those who were qualified to rule the entire Dragon City were politicians among politicians. People like you were the best at being two-faced, saying whatever you want, hiding and distorting your true character and intentions. If I relaxed a little when dealing with people like you, you'd easily sell out, and I'd have to count your riches.
"Therefore, although you were all selfless, fearless, and dedicated to the battle for the village, the Lair, and even Dragon City, I still dared not trust you one hundred percent.
"This isn't to say that I ever doubted your determination to continue Dragon City's civilization at all costs.
"However, I couldn't be sure whether my family and I in Leprosy Village were part of the 'continuation' or 'price.'
"'Let's keep observing,' I said to myself. After all, you hadn't ascended to the throne of power yet. I still had ti to see what kind of people you were exactly, your personalities, your hobbies, your pursuits, your ambitions, and the friends, family, and interest groups behind you.
"Once I figured this out and obtained more information that would affect Dragon City's future through you, I would reveal to you bit by bit the disasters that might happen in the future.
"Besides, I still had a little hope at that ti.
"Perhaps the future had already changed?
"Maybe, there was no need to tell them everything. The fact that 'Su Mulian t ng Chao and Lu Siya' had changed everything and stopped the destruction?"
