NOVEL WEB Chapter 319: If You Are Lee, That's Fine Too
"Hey, why are you looking at me so surprised? Although I know I'm very good-looking, you don't have to be so enthusiastic with your eyes, right?"
The mysterious lady who looked exactly like Lihua and appeared out of nowhere waved to Lihua easily: "Do you want to take a photo together? That's fine too~"
"Excuse me, you—"
"Shh, let me see what stupid things these two are going to do~" [Lee] chuckled and put her finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture. "Don't worry, I'll answer you soon."
Although they were only two steps apart, Elysia and Mobius seemed to have seen nothing, and still focused their attention on each other.
"Little Lihua, don't believe Mobius, although she talks a lot, she actually just wants to take you away and lock you up alone." Elysia pulled Lihua behind her, although her tone was still like she was smiling, her expression was serious. "I just want you to remember some… things you did in the past. After that, no matter what the result is, you will be able to choose for yourself, even if you want to leave…"
"Enough, Elysia, stop saying things that insult our intelligence here!" The anger in Mobius's eyes was obvious. "What good is it to remember the past?! It's all painful things… It's better to let her stay away from the unpleasant past and start over!"
"Now, give her back to me!"
"Stop pretending to be high and mighty, Mobius, you know best what you're thinking… I don't want to say anything meaningless anymore, now, just stay where you are—" Elysia suddenly waved her hand, intending to use her authority to throw Mobius into a separate space as usual, but suddenly found that Mobius, who should have disappeared, was still standing there.
"Did she resist the Divine Key with a sufficiently strong will like Kalpas…?" Elysia's eyes became even more serious. After all, the Elysian Realm was a consciousness space created by the Eighth Divine Key. As long as one's will was strong enough, anything was possible.
The precedent of Kalpas resisting the ban had just happened not long ago, it wasn't strange that Mobius could do it.
"Little Lihua, it might be a bit dangerous here later, I'll send you to a safer place first—don't worry, I'll be there soon."
So what if the authority was ineffective? She, Elysia, was originally one of the strongest people in the Previous Era. Except for Kevin and Lee, no one else in the world was her opponent—not even the other people in this Elysian Realm!
First teleport Lihua to a safe space, and then she would deal with the situation here and go over~
"Yeah…" Lihua nodded with a forced smile.
Safer… Why did she feel that nowhere in this Elysian Realm was safe now?
Lihua sighed silently in her heart. Although it was possible to be killed by the aftermath of these lunatics' battles, the biggest danger in the entire Elysian Realm now was obviously this unknown guy next to her.
Someone was copying her face—no, more accurately, copying Lee's face? After all, not only was her hairstyle the same, but even her clothes were the Fire Moth uniform that Lee used to wear most often…
Although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, the other party's replication of Lee's appearance was almost 100%, so much so that Lihua had to subconsciously confirm that Unit 03 wasn't online before she was sure that the other party wasn't the real deal.
But generally speaking, the existence that appeared in the chaotic Elysian Realm at this moment, with a face exactly like Lee's, was definitely not an ordinary passerby, but an NPC or even the mastermind strongly related to the current situation.
She didn't know who the other party was, but the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions for now, so Lihua naturally wouldn't take the initiative to make trouble for herself.
After all, judging from the fact that the other party was standing here with a face that should have made everyone around her stop fighting immediately, yet Mobius and Elysia, who were close at hand, didn't notice her, the other party was definitely not an existence that a weakling like her could defeat.
And Elysia should have just teleported her away from the scene of the lunatic brawl, and now she did appear in a new place, but… why was this unknown person also next to her?!
"Oh dear, they're fighting again, it's really not surprising. These guys still haven't made any progress even after living for thousands of years." The unknown person snapped her fingers, and the originally ordinary surroundings suddenly turned into a place like a bar counter. "I don't know whether to hate them or pity them… Do you want something to drink?"
"Thank you, I don't drink…"
"Don't drink? It's good not to drink, children should drink more milk!" For some reason, after hearing Lihua's answer, the unknown person's expression seemed very satisfied with this answer, and she turned around and conjured a glass of milk and placed it in front of Lihua. "Being healthy and growing taller is what a good child should do~"
Looking at the hot milk in front of her, Lihua's expression was a bit subtle—to be honest, she was already an adult, and her figure could even be considered a medium cup in Azur Lane, she didn't need to grow anymore, right?
The other party's attitude was like she was her elder…
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Hmm? Do you even need to ask? You should already have the answer in your heart, after all, I specially wore this Fire Moth uniform to appear!" The unknown person smiled and twirled her hair. "And didn't you just finish watching my story?"
"Are you… Miss Lee?"
"The one and only!"
Such a righteous lie, if you are Lee, then who are we?!
Looking at [Lee], who had a proud look on her face, as if waiting for her surprise and praise, Lihua was dumbfounded for a long time and didn't know what to say.
If you are Lee, that's good, you can help her deal with these crazy lunatics—at least attract their attention.
It's a pity that you are a fake, I'm afraid you will make these guys even crazier…
"Hey, why aren't you talking? Shouldn't you be shocked at this time and ask me why I appeared here!"
Not getting the reaction she wanted, [Lee] seemed a bit anxious. "I'm Lee, the great hero of the Previous Era who came back to life!"
"Uh, maybe I'm too surprised…?" Lihua smiled awkwardly. "Aren't you already gone…"
"Humph, you young people are making too much of a fuss. I'm Lee, there's nothing I can't do~" Mentioning this, [Lee] became proud again. "You should also learn from me, your ancestor, and be calm no matter what."
"Ancestor?"
[Lee]'s words directly made Lihua speechless, how could she suddenly become her ancestor?
Indeed, if you really had to count, Lee was indeed Lihua's ancestor, after all, she was one of the sources of the entire Kaslana bloodline—but she definitely had nothing to do with this wild [Lee] who appeared out of nowhere!
Not knowing what Lihua was thinking, [Lee] thought that the other party didn't know the origin of the Kaslana bloodline, and excitedly explained: "Yes, during the Previous Era, that MEI used my and Kevin's genes to create a homunculus, preparing it to be a warrior for your civilization to resist the Honkai! From the first moment I saw you, I was sure that you must be my descendant, we look exactly the same~"
"Uh, actually, I'm an illegitimate child, my bloodline is not pure…"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter, what matters is that your consciousness wavelength is very similar to mine from before—no, it's exactly the same!" [Lee]'s eyes stared excitedly at Lihua. "If I wasn't sitting here, I might even think that you are my reincarnation, after all, both your appearance and consciousness are so similar!"
Consciousness wavelength?
That kind of metaphysical thing was as unreliable as blood recognition. After all, the world was so big, there were many people with similar wavelengths. She was just a little bit similar to Unit 03 in appearance, this thing couldn't be used as a basis for doing things…
"Ahaha… If you are really Miss Lee, shouldn't you already be… sacrificed?"
"What do you mean 'if'? I am her, why are you talking like I'm impersonating someone else?" [Lee] seemed dissatisfied with Lihua's wording, and then she thought hard. "As for why I'm here, to be honest, I'm not very clear either… I should indeed be dead."
"But according to my guess, it should be because of you!" Her spirits quickly recovered, and [Lee] looked at Lihua with a smile.
"It's highly likely that after I was killed, the remaining consciousness was instinctively absorbed and contained by the core, but because it was too fragmented, it couldn't be reconstructed, and could only remain dormant at the bottom of the core."
"But after you came, the consciousness and emotions of these people in the Elysian Realm began to become extremely active, and the memories related to me began to surface collectively, even helping to complete some of the missing parts of my consciousness… Plus you and I have the same bloodline and consciousness as a guide, that's why I was awakened~"
Good heavens, this person spoke so reasonably, if Lihua didn't know that what the other party said was absolutely impossible, she might have believed it.
Whether it was the main body or the clone, their consciousness had the strict protection of the system, and any means related to mental consciousness had no meaning to them.
After the clone left the world, she would truly disappear. Perhaps her memories could be left behind, but there was no way to preserve the true consciousness—therefore, what [Lee] said about the core protecting consciousness fragments was absolutely impossible.
But as Lihua, she had no reason to know this, so all she could do was show a surprised and happy smile: "I see, that's really congratulations, the passing of such a kind person is a truly sad thing… But, aren't you going to see Elysia and the others? Everyone seems to miss you very much…"
"Don't use honorifics with me, although you are my descendant, I am an open-minded elder, just treat me as a friend. As for seeing them…"
[Lee] opened a crack with a displeased expression, and what was displayed on the other side was the most chaotic scene in the current Elysian Realm.
Whether warriors or scientists… all these people who should be working for the survival and development of human civilization were fighting frantically at this moment—not for merit, but simply to put each other to death, to vent their hatred.
"Look at the stupid things they are doing. After thousands of years, they still haven't made any progress at all. They only think about what they want, but never care about what the corresponding price is. They will only act under the banner of doing good for others, thereby satisfying themselves… As for the price to be paid, it's as if someone will come and pay it all for them."
Even Lihua could feel the resentment in [Lee]'s tone, and this emotion was undoubtedly directed at these warriors who were still venting their anger at each other.
"Uh, it sounds like Miss [Lee], you seem to have some complaints about them?" The other party had clearly made a request, so Lihua had to silently change her address. "But I remember you used to be very good to everyone…"
"Yes, I have been good enough to them, I have done everything I can for them—but how did they repay me? Lihua, you have also seen those stories, they never helped me, and if they didn't exist, maybe I would have lived better!"
Glaring at the people in the opposite space, [Lee] viciously closed the crack, but then sighed with some melancholy: "It's just a pity that I only understood all this after I died…"
"But it doesn't matter, since I have a chance to do it again, I will never make the same mistakes as before—let this world become what I want it to be~"
