Chapter 24 Mianmian, no!
On the Douluo Continent.
Everyone felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing the frail little girl, Liuying, cautiously awaiting her death.
As human beings, we all have a fear of death.
Especially the fear of death; people often say that the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.
But known fears are often more tormenting.
The anxieties and fears that precede death constantly assault a person's soul and will.
Often, before death actually arrives, the person has already suffered a complete mental breakdown.
When faced with death, people often tremble and huddle together in fear.
Or they might use hysterical roars to mask their inner panic.
However, the actions of this frail, silver-haired girl touched everyone's hearts.
She was actually encouraging and comforting herself.
She said that death is not scary, and that being able to choose how to die is already wonderful for her.
...
The footage only lasted a few minutes.
The conversation between the firefly and the dahlia was filled with technical terms that the people on Douluo Continent couldn't understand at all.
But as everyone can see, this Miss Firefly already knew she was going to die.
Yet they still resolutely faced death.
This alone puts them ahead of most people.
After all, when a person knows that there is a dead end ahead and that stepping onto it will lead to death, they will often choose to retreat.
Above Tiandou City.
Qian Renxue hovered in mid-air, with two Title Douluo silently guarding her beside her.
The three of them looked down from the sky with complicated expressions, and then looked together in the direction of the Heavenly Dou City gate.
Tang Hao's earlier actions caused a huge commotion.
Furthermore, intelligence secretly tipped them off, revealing that Tang San, ranked third, and Little Gray Hair, ranked first, were right at the city gate.
Moreover, Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old soul beast revealed by the sky curtain, was also by Tang San's side.
Whether Qian Renxue wants to win over Little Gray Hair or capture the 100,000-year-old soul beast Xiao Wu, she should go to the gate of Tiandou City.
But halfway there, she was captivated by the scene on the sky.
She felt she couldn't approach Little Gray Hair rashly, and wanted to understand this previously somewhat neurotic Little Gray Hair through the story of Little Gray Hair and Firefly.
Little Grey Hair doesn't have much of a storyline.
The story of Liu Ying is devoid of sword fights and consists entirely of dialogue.
But the heaviness conveyed between the lines was so profound that it was suffocating to listen to.
Knowing that death is imminent, they still face it head-on.
Even in the face of death, one must reveal crucial information to those one wants to protect.
What exactly is the perfect solution that Liu Ying mentioned?
Qian Renxue stared intently at the sky, eagerly anticipating how the story would unfold.
She clenched her fists slightly, her palms already sweating.
How she wished that this frail yet strong little girl could fulfill her wish before she died.
Spirit Hall, Hall of Offerings!
Qian Daoliu sighed heavily.
As the high priest of the angel god, he will surely sacrifice himself for the new angel god in the future.
This fate is truly lamentable.
However, as he carefully considered each line of dialogue on the sky, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
This little girl with silver hair seems to not only know that she will die, but also roughly know when she will die.
This was certainly not the result of consultation with the enemy.
How did these people know when they would die?
As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, he was also very knowledgeable and knew some unknown secrets.
This world is just one of countless worlds.
Beyond the Douluo Continent lies an even wider and more boundless starry sky.
Little Gray Fur clearly couldn't possibly be from their world.
The outside world is completely unknown.
There are certainly many worlds more powerful than their Douluo Continent.
The firefly knows its own death time; is this the ability to foresee the future?
That's really powerful.
If he possessed the ability to foresee the future.
Qian Xunji might not have done such a beastly thing to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong would not have the heart to devour Qian Xunji when he returned severely injured.
...
The images on the celestial screen continued to play.
As fireflies awaited their death, they heard the approaching footsteps behind them, their hearts pounding.
She quickly turned her head, and what she saw was the little gray fur she had been longing for.
Her eyebrows curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
But there was an indescribable bitterness and reluctance in that smile.
After entering the dream, Little Gray Fur finally saw Firefly again, and was overjoyed beyond words.
She immediately quickened her pace and ran towards the fireflies.
At that moment, a cloud of purplish-black smoke suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.
A flash of red light suddenly appeared amidst the smoke.
A strange-looking creature slowly emerged from it.
It was as long as three to five people, and its entire body, including its back, was covered with countless eerie purple eyes.
Its speed was astonishing; it swept past Little Gray Fur and charged straight at Firefly.
The strong winds generated during its flight nearly knocked the little gray creature to the ground.
When Little Gray stumbled to his feet and looked up at Firefly.
The pupils suddenly contracted.
The strange monster was spinning rapidly around the firefly.
The powerful wind pressure it generated swept the firefly's body into the air.
Firefly had not yet been hurt by the monster, but glistening tears were already welling up in her eyes.
The next second, the monster's sharp tail tip pierced Liu Ying's chest.
Little Gray Fur's eyes widened instantly, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with heartache and disbelief.
She rushed towards the firefly like a madwoman.
Huang Quan hesitated at this moment, not drawing the knife in his hand.
The black swan also looked surprised and stood there at a loss.
However, the firefly, whose body was pierced by the monster's tail, did not bleed.
Instead, tiny, bluish lights appeared.
With eyes filled with deep regret and glistening tears, she mustered all her strength to utter her last words to the little gray-haired boy:
"sorry..."
As soon as the firefly's voice faded, the monster's tail tip plunged even deeper into the wound.
The intense pain caused a look of agony to appear on Liuying's face.
Tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably, like two broken streams.
The monster suddenly pulled out its tail sword.
The firefly's body fell straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
During the fall, a large amount of bluish liquid, resembling blood, seeped from her body.
Little Grey was heartbroken and threw the baseball bat he was holding.
She opened her arms, jumped up with all her might, and caught the firefly falling from the sky.
She tried desperately to hold onto the firefly, but the firefly she was holding exploded into a pile of blue-purple glowing liquid in her arms, scattering all over the ground.
Little Gray Hair supported himself on his hands and knelt heavily on the ground, his face filled with the pain of self-blame and helplessness.
At this moment, Huang Quan slowly walked up to Little Gray Hair, staring solemnly at the monster in the sky.
Black Swan opened her palm, and countless cards were rapidly spinning on the weapon in her hand.
In the sky, the monster that had assassinated the firefly slowly curled up and merged back into the dark purple smoke.
Finally, it completely disappeared from the spot.
Little Gray Fur slowly got up from the ground, looking at the pool of liquid that the fireflies had turned into, and the emerald green bubbles floating in the air, his eyes were red.
...
The scene shifted at that moment, and Dahlia sat opposite, explaining slowly to Little Gray Fur, or perhaps all the creatures watching the sky:
"She hoped to use her death to show you the truth about dreams."
"And at the moment of being pierced, even the Void Envoy will have some reservations and hesitate when drawing his sword. This is the perfect solution she chose."
"Unfortunately, fate played a cruel joke on her. Her memory changed so quickly that she didn't even have a chance to explain it."
...
"After that, she arrived at Dream Reef... a place of exile, the real Pinocchio. The family has tried its best to hide its existence under the pretext of death."
"However, at that time she was not able to go deeper and explain the truth, and the situation that had worried her before continued."
"She was desperate to turn back and take you away from the battlefield."
"Fortunately, a kind and warm-hearted lady was still watching over her—and I lent a helping hand once again."
"The scenario she feared most did not occur; the death faded away on its own, and you escaped unscathed."
"My friend...Back then, Firefly's death was a suicide she chose to commit. She was such a gentle yet strong girl."
Mimi regained a lot of her memories.
But in Onfaros, all she could remember were fragments of memories about Little Grey.
She was heartbroken to see the firefly die in front of the little gray hair.
Now that I know why Firefly died in front of Little Gray Hair, my heart is filled with even more pity.
Gazing at the firefly beside the little gray creature in the sky, whose face was always resolute, Mimi's eyes were already moist.
Large tears fell down in a pattering sound.
"Sir, if you feel unwell, we can find a quiet place to take a nap, shall we?"
Witnessing the death of a loved one is an incredibly painful experience for anyone.
Xia Die slowly walked up to Little Gray Fur and gently offered her her advice.
Little Gray Fur stared intently at the sky, at the spot where the fireflies had vanished.
She clenched her fists tightly and said in an extremely firm tone:
"No, I want to remember all of this!"
"Liu Ying's devotion and sacrifice for me are not just things of the past, but also the source of my determination to become stronger now!"
The people of Douluo Continent were all filled with mixed emotions after reading Liu Ying's story.
What they saw was neither a fierce battle filled with blood and tears, nor a lengthy, sentimental farewell.
The petite, silver-haired girl in the picture looks so pitiful.
Yet they possessed an unwavering determination.
She hid behind Little Gray Fur, just to make him realize a truth.
Even as death approached, he resolutely appeared before Little Gray, awaiting the agony of his body being pierced.
It's hard to imagine how such a delicate little girl could do that.
Especially the way she silently cheered herself up in the face of death touched countless hearts, bringing tears of pity to many.
As Dahlia explains later, when Firefly's body was pierced for the first time, she wanted to tell Little Gray the truth about the dream.
You could feel her pain when she said "I'm sorry".
But her plan was to endure the excruciating pain and reveal more of the truth.
What's even more heartbreaking is that the death exposed in the sky was only the first death of the firefly.
There were two more times of such pain and separation.
