"Sir!
You can't do this, humans still need you … "After hearing Guhan's decision, the extremely weak Lu Qingping struggled to get up from the ground. However, Guhan pressed her down and said," You know my personality, I always mean what I say! "
When Guhan said the first word, Lu Qingping knew that she could not persuade him anymore. In the end, she could only lower her head helplessly and said nothing more. The entire place suddenly became quiet.
"It seems like you've made up your mind!"
The librarian's turbid eyes swept over everyone, then said, "Let me explain this to you first. After you leave the Seamless Corridor, all of your memories of the Seamless Corridor will be erased, and everything that happened in the Seamless Corridor will be erased as well. All you know is that you spent a long period of time in a mysterious place, but as for what this mysterious place is, and as for what happened in there, you won't be able to remember anything at all. In other words, you've lost this period of time forever. Have you thought it through? Do you want to leave this place?"
"Yes!
Of course! "
Misaka Mikoto said without hesitation. "It's just a memory of this place, it's no big deal. If it's gone, then it's gone."
"May I ask, sir, what's the time after we leave? When will we appear in the real world?
Could it be after Mr. Guhan entered this place? "Dangma Jue asked curiously.
"No, the amount of time you've spent here is the same amount of time you've spent in the real world. Therefore, you'll probably appear at different times in the real world!" The old man replied calmly.
"So that's how it is, then everything fits!"
After hearing the old man's words, Guhan thought silently in his heart. Dangma Jue and Misaka Mikoto had stayed in the Seamless Corridor for about five hundred years. Therefore, they should appear around five hundred years after the apocalypse. This coincided with the appearance of Misaka Mikoto, whom humans had regained control of.
Similarly, Jōjō Dangma had appeared at this time as well. Hence, the old man was not lying. Once Misaka Mikoto and Jōjō Dangma left, it would be a story from five hundred years ago to Gu Han.
"Sir, I have another question!"
Lu Qingping, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly asked the old man, "My child was born here and has never appeared in reality. If she leaves here, when will she appear?"
"Well …" The old man was also stumped by Lu Qingping's question. After hesitating for a while, he said uncertainly, "She'll probably leave with the person who brought her. Because she's not bound by real time, she can appear at any point in the real world. That should be the case!"
"Thank you, my lord!
I understand now! "
Lu Qingping nodded happily. To the Gu Xuanwu, this was undoubtedly the best outcome. To be able to be with the person who was hugging her.
"Alright, the matter has been settled. You should also leave!" The old man urged impatiently.
"Wait!
I still have something to do! "
Misaka Mikoto shouted out of the blue. She then said to everyone, "We've been together for more than a hundred years. It's such a waste to be separated and lose each other's memories. When I return to the real world, I still want to be friends with everyone.
That's why everyone should leave a mark so that when we return to the real world, we can still find each other. "
"That's why I suggest that everyone write a letter to themselves. In the letter, write down in detail what happened in the Seamless Corridor. That way, we can still be friends after we leave!" Misaka Mikoto said.
"That's a good idea. I don't want to forget everyone!"
Chidou Isuzu immediately agreed. Lu Qingping's eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded vigorously in agreement.
"But what should we do if we don't have pen and paper?" Jōjō Dōma suddenly raised a very practical question.
"That's easy. Just ask him. I think his Dimensional Pocket is like a treasure chest. He has everything. I'm sure he'll have pen and paper!" Misaka Mikoto clapped her hands and said happily.
Misaka Mikoto's guess was right. Guhan did have pen and paper with him.
"Bullsh * t!"
Unexpectedly, the old man immediately rejected Misaka Mikoto's suggestion. "You can only leave this place with the things that belong to you. Anything that you didn't bring with you can't leave with you. You should just forget about writing letters!"
The old man's words were very clear. Only things that he brought in could be brought out. In other words, the pen and paper that Guhan brought in could only leave with Guhan. It would never be able to leave with Misaka Mikoto and the others.
"What should we do then?"
Misaka Mikoto was dumbfounded when she heard the old man's words. The old man urged her again. Just when Misaka Mikoto was about to give up on the idea, Lu Qingping suddenly said with difficulty, "If we can only bring our own belongings away, can we bring the words with us if we write something on our skin with our own blood?"
"That's right!
That's a good idea. Of course, we can bring our skin and our blood with us! "
Misaka Mikoto clapped her hands happily. At the same time, she did not forget to mock Guhan, "Qingping, I didn't expect you to be so smart. I always thought you were stupid. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been fooled by this b * stard!"
Hence, Misaka Mikoto immediately bit her finger to see if she could write on her skin.
If they used their fingers as the tip of a pen, the words written would undoubtedly be very big. Even their entire arm could not write more than a few words. On the other hand, the old man kept urging them to hurry up. He even said that if they did not leave in five minutes, he would ask them to stay here forever. Hence, they could only write a few words on their hands as fast as they could.
Misaka Mikoto wrote on her hand, "Artoria Chidou Isuzu, Miss Lu Qingping, B * stard Guhan, Little Sister Gu Xuanwu. We will always be friends. We will never forget the days we spent in the Seamless Corridor."
It was really hard on Misaka Mikoto. In order to write so many words, her entire body was covered in blood.
On the other hand, Jojo Dangma did not have his own thoughts at all. Instead, he wrote the exact same words as Misaka Mikoto. That was the behavior of a new good man.
Chidou Isuzu's words were relatively simpler. "Friend: Mikoto Dangma; Father: Guhan; Mother: Lu Qingping; King: Artoria; Child: Gu Xuanwu." It was a simple and clear description of the relationships between the people in the Seamless Corridor.
Lu Qingping also bit her finger and began to write on Gu Xuanwu's back. However, Lu Qingping did not write on her own body. It seemed that Lu Qingping felt that as long as she had the words on Gu Xuanwu's back, she would be able to understand what happened there.
Artoria and Guhan had to maintain their cool throughout the entire process. They did not join the group of people who wrote words in blood on their bodies.
"Please hurry up!
This old man's patience is very strong! "
The old man finally could not take it anymore. He flipped open the book and revealed Misaka Mikoto's name on the first page. At the same time, he read, "Misaka Mikoto."
"Here!"
Misaka Mikoto replied subconsciously. In the next second, Misaka Mikoto's body turned into a puff of green smoke and was sucked into the book. She disappeared without a trace.
"Mikoto!
Mikoto, where did you go?! "Jōjō Dangma was shocked. He rushed toward the old man and asked loudly.
"Don't worry, young man. You're next!"
The old man smiled and then flipped to the second page of the book. He revealed Jōjō Dangma's name and asked the same question as he did to Misaka Mikoto.
"…" Jōjō Dangma was a little afraid and did not dare to speak.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see your little girlfriend?"
The old man rolled his eyes at Jōjō Dangma. "I'm only going to ask you one more time. If you don't answer me, I'll take it that you're giving up this opportunity."
"Don't … Don't …" Jōjō Dangma quickly said. The old man then called out Jōjō Dangma's name again. This time, Jōjō Dangma answered very quickly. Just like Misaka Mikoto, he turned into green smoke and disappeared into the book.
"Sendou Fifty-Nine Bells!"
The old man was the third to call out Sendou Fifty-Nine Bells. Based on the previous two people's experience, Sendou Fifty-Nine Bells responded obediently and disappeared as well.
"Fortify Black Tortoise!"
"Fortify Black Tortoise!"
"Fortify Black Tortoise!"
The old man then began to call out Gu Black Tortoise's name. The problem was that Gu Black Tortoise was still a child. Moreover, she was in a deep sleep and did not even know how to cry. It was impossible for her to know that someone was calling her name and respond to the old man's words.
"I said, if you hear me calling this child's name, just pinch this child's butt hard and make her cry!" Feeling helpless, the old man could only make such a request to Lu Qingping.
"Okay!"
Lu Qingping nodded. The old man called out Gu Black Tortoise's name again. This time, Gu Black Tortoise still did not respond.
"What are you doing?
Are you making fun of me? "The old man looked at Lu Qingping with dissatisfaction.
"No, it's just that my hands are weak. I used up all my strength when I was writing just now. Now, I don't even have the strength to pinch her!"
Lu Qingping said weakly. Then, she handed the child in her hands to Artoria and pleaded, "Miss Artoria, can you please help me pinch the child so that she can leave here?"
"Why me?"
Artoria looked at Lu Qingping doubtfully, then looked at Guhan. "Shouldn't you give it to your man?"
"No … I'm worried about giving it to him. He's not qualified to be a father!" Lu Qingping said with a bitter smile.
"Hehe, indeed, he's not qualified to be a father!"
Artoria sneered. Then, she bent down and took the child from Lu Qingping's hands. At the same time, she bit Lu Qingping's ear and said, "Don't worry, I won't let your family of three be separated. I'm going back to my own world!"
"Really?
Thank you then! "
Lu Qingping revealed a happy smile. Seeing this smile, Artoria suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. She sacrificed herself to help them. Wasn't it too easy for them?!
"Gu Black Tortoise!"
At this time, Laozi called out Gu Black Tortoise's name again. Artoria subconsciously pinched Gu Black Tortoise's back. Gu Black Tortoise felt the pain and immediately began to cry. A large cloud of green smoke instantly filled the entire library. When the green smoke disappeared, Gu Black Tortoise and Artoria disappeared together.
At this time, the little book had turned two pages in one go. Only the last page was left.
