Chapter 486 This Matter is Over
The familiar feeling of weightlessness resurfaced, and everything around me was silently collapsing.
His consciousness plunged into that pitch-black abyss. Tang Zijun was unable to perceive the changes around him, but he was no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning. Or rather, he no longer cared about these things.
His original goal was simply to stop the assassination attempt by the God of Time and Space and preserve the original history. However, he never expected that he would witness these things with his own eyes, especially when he was completely unprepared.
So many years have passed that he has even forgotten how he traveled through time.
His only memory was of inexplicably opening his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling and an unfamiliar bed, along with a constant stream of unfamiliar memories flooding his mind.
Because of his memories from his past life, he quickly accepted the fact that he had transmigrated and naturally took the place of the boy named Tang Zijun. But only now did he realize how turbulent the world had been when he transmigrated.
As he pondered, the feeling of falling gradually subsided, and illusory light emerged from the darkness, gradually brightening, as those historical scenes reappeared in his field of vision.
He witnessed his first battle, celebrated Tangcao's birthday for the first time, encountered this familiar yet unfamiliar world for the first time, and accepted that he had a new family for the first time.
These historical events flashed by like slides, and Tang Zijun wanted to stop and watch, but the images vanished like sand slipping through his fingers. Re-experiencing his own experiences over the past ten years, Tang Zijun suddenly felt a sense of liberation, and at the same time, he gained a new perspective and understanding of himself.
The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.
Perhaps this was what he had been missing all along, but now he had found the answer.
Feeling her body regain sensation, Tang Zijun slowly opened her eyes. The brightness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep, unfocused look.
Harker was the first to notice the anomaly. He had been keeping a close watch on Tang Zijun's consciousness, fearing that she might get lost in the illusion of history. Naturally, he knew that Tang Zijun had already returned.
"Looks like it went well." Hax smiled slightly, then flexed his wrists. "As expected of me, I actually did it." Ignoring the smug Hax, Curly-Eared quickly came over, looking at Tang Zijun with some concern. "After Hax took you back, he said he couldn't see you anymore. Are you alright? Did anything happen to you?"
Before Tang Zijun could answer, Hax poked the curly-eared boy's head. "Stupid question. If something really happened, would he be able to come back? And if something unexpected had happened, our future would have already been changed."
"Okay, it seems so." Curly-eared girl blinked.
Hax, on the other hand, was chuckling. He rarely had the chance to get this close to spirit beasts; in the past, he'd always been attacked when he encountered them. Tang Zijun also came to his senses at this moment. He looked at Curly-Ears and revealed a complicated smile. "Don't worry, Curly-Ears, I'm fine. The God of Time and Space has been dealt with too."
"Really!" Upon hearing Tang Zijun's confirmation, Juan Erduo immediately became happy.
She had been worried for a while. Ever since Hax started making his move, Tang Zijun hadn't moved an inch. If she hadn't dealt with Chang Lei before, she would have really doubted whether the guy in front of her would actually hurt Tang Zijun.
Although she knew very well that the person in front of her, Hax, was not the Chang Lei from her future memories, she still trusted him for some reason. Perhaps this was the simplicity of a spirit beast.
Caught up in her joy, Juan Erduo failed to notice the odd expression on Tang Zijun's face, while Hax frowned slightly.
He noticed that Tang Zijun's smile was somewhat forced, clearly indicating that something was on her mind. "What...did you see in the past?" "A lot." Tang Zijun sighed softly, then curled the corners of her lips and shook her head. "But I don't know how to bring it up right now." "I understand, everyone has a painful past." Chang Lei, with an air of someone who's been there, hesitated for a moment before reaching out and patting Tang Zijun's shoulder.
"Although I don't know what you've been through, I can roughly guess some of it. If I were to go back to when I was just born, I wouldn't be able to accept it either. One experience is enough for that kind of thing."
Tang Zijun nodded slightly, indicating his agreement on this issue.
Just as Tang Zijun was about to say something, a faint, mournful whistle, seemingly from the distant past, rang out. (Whoosh whoosh whoosh)
With three blasts of the horn, Katie's voice appeared in Tang Zijun's mind. "Brother, I've finally found you."
"Katie?" Tang Zijun was slightly taken aback and asked subconsciously.
Upon hearing the name, Curly Ears immediately perked up. "Katie? Is Katie here?"
Tang Zijun nodded. "Ah, it seems she has already fully recovered."
"Great!" Curly-eared rabbit's joy was palpable. First, the trouble with the God of Time and Space was resolved, and now his partner was fully recovered. Nothing could make the rabbit happier than this.
Although Hacks couldn't quite understand what the man and the rabbit in front of him were saying, he had some guesses in his mind.
"I think this is the prelude to farewell?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Zijun turned to look at Hax again. He nodded slightly and said, "My family has come to pick me up. Now that this matter is settled, it's time for me to return to my own timeline."
"What a unique experience..." Hax exclaimed, then looked at Tang Zijun with a meaningful gaze. "I never imagined we'd be fighting side-by-side one day."
"There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future," Tang Zijun said with a smile.
Hacks smiled too. "I'm looking forward to that day."
He paused, then continued, "However, in order not to disrupt the stability of the timeline, I'm afraid I'll have to forget everything that happened today." "Huh? Is that even possible?" Curly-eared man's eyes widened.
"It's just a perfect lie they've concocted." Hax winked at Curly-Eared, then turned his gaze back to Tang Zijun. "But this means we'll be enemies again."
Tang Zijun straightened up slightly and said softly, "It's okay, I believe you."
"Really?" Hax stared intently at Tang Zijun. "You might not understand the situation yet. You handed me a god-level mirror core, which in itself is disrupting history. Aren't you afraid I might use this power to do something terrifying?"
"I told you, I believe you." Tang Zijun slowly reached out and placed her hand on Hax's shoulder, speaking each word carefully. "You will definitely use this power for the right things."
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Hax stared blankly at Tang Zijun's face.
The right thing to do...
After a pause, Hax smiled.
"Then let's wait and see."
After saying that, Hax extended his hand.
Tang Zijun then directly grasped the other person's hand.
"Let's wait and see."
As they were talking, a semi-transparent golden train sped by amidst a series of clanging sounds.
The train passed through the walls of the Bolshoi Theatre without any obstruction, slowly stopped next to Tang Zijun, emitted a plume of white steam, and opened its doors.
Tang Zijun looked back at the scene, then turned to look at Hax. "I'm leaving, Lao Chang."
This time, Hax didn't resist the name; he simply nodded slightly. "Until we meet again, Tang Zijun."
With barely contained excitement, Curly Ears boarded the steam train. A row of doors slammed shut with a synchronized "click." Then, the steam train let out a sharp whistle, its wheels slowly turning, gradually accelerating as it sped towards the walls of the grand theater and plunged inside, disappearing like a phantom.
Hax stood there for a long time, staring blankly as the train disappeared from sight.
After an unknown amount of time, a look of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes.
As if suddenly waking from a pipe dream, he looked around with a strange expression.
Even though the surrounding scenery was so familiar, for some reason, Hax had a strange feeling about it.
After a long silence, he finally managed to utter, "Why did the music stop?"
Looking at the four unconscious magical girls on the stage, Hacks raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
But the next moment, he let out a loud bang.
"Who put this mask on me?!"
