Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 276 The Day Humanity Remembered...

"woke up?"

The first thing Xing saw when she opened her eyes was Walter. He was leaning on his cane with his right hand and adjusting his glasses with his left, looking at Xing calmly. He exuded an air of pretentiousness.

Then Tesla slapped that aura away.

"What's with all this pretentious stuff? Is it really necessary? Is it fun?"

Walter touched the back of his head where he had been hit, and then straightened his glasses, which had fallen off.

"After all, Xing has just woken up, and it wouldn't be good for her to suddenly see an elder like me looking at her with such concern, so I tried my best to keep my composure on the surface."

"Come on, do you think I don't know your personality?" Tesla scoffed. "You just want to take this opportunity to show off, don't you?"

After realizing that Tesla had completely revealed his secret thoughts, Walter simply changed the subject.

"On another note, Xing, you should understand what's going on by now, right?"

“Yes.” Xing nodded. Under the guidance of the Black Swan, she now fully understood what was going on.

"So, Uncle Yang, what should we do? And we didn't expect that the legendary anti-entropy telegraph machine, Dr. Tesla, is actually here."

"Hey! What's a reverse entropy telegraph machine?!" Tesla asked, veins bulging on his forehead as he suppressed his anger.

"I don't know who was sending out all sorts of censored words in the group chat back then, and even in the review video, there were quite a few swear words that were censored. Dr. Tesla, don't you have any self-awareness at all?"

"...Sharp-tongued, fine, I won't stoop to your level, junior." Tesla flicked his twin ponytails and snorted coldly.

"Now that you're awake, come over here. I have something to discuss with you later."

"what's up?"

"Of course it's about how to solve all of this! What else could it be?" Tesla said impatiently.

The phrase "solve all this" piqued Xing's interest. After all, being trapped in a cycle of reincarnation wasn't a good thing, especially since they had only come to participate in the so-called Harmonious Music Festival, only to be forced into trouble.

They went to great lengths to solve this problem, but each time they failed and fell into another cycle.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that this cycle is different from the previous ones.

Not only was Liu Ying's identity revealed much earlier, but many other faces, such as Kiana, who had never appeared in the past, also appeared in this cycle.

"Were you all dragged here to help by Kiana and the others?"

“You could say that,” Tesla replied, but her steps did not falter.

"First, Kiana and the others returned to this world because of Him. The moment they arrived in this world, they came to Pinocchio and then discovered the anomaly here."

"Can you tell me why you came here so quickly?"

"Let me answer that," the captain's voice came from ahead. He had been standing there specifically to wait for Xing to awaken.

"captain?"

"Yes, that's right. I'm glad you haven't forgotten me."

"That's strange, how come Xing can recognize the captain at a glance?" March 7th walked out from behind with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Haha! Don't mind me, maybe it's just that I have a low profile, which is why you didn't recognize me at first glance in March."

"Then how do you explain that Xing could recognize the captain at a glance?"

"Well, there's something very peculiar about the captain, which is why I have such a deep impression of him."

The real reason was that the captain was making a bad use of his somewhat useless ability; he originally intended to test whether the effect could be reversed.

The result was that the effect was somewhat overdone, although it could indeed reduce the degree to which others were affected by his ability.

However, it can only suppress the effect to a certain extent; once it reaches a certain threshold, it will not decrease further.

At the same time, another side effect also emerged: the captain's presence began to fade, and unless others saw him every day, they would gradually lose their impression of the captain, except for those who had formed a bond with him.

Over the years, the Captain has reduced this side effect to a minimum; otherwise, March 7th wouldn't have simply failed to recognize the Captain at first glance.

However, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it also gave the captain what can be said to be the most top-tier special attack ability, since the only conditions for others to forget the captain are whether they know the captain or whether they have seen him for a long time.

In other words, even if the infiltration mission fails, the captain can avoid the risk of being caught by hiding for a period of time.

Thanks to this side effect, the captain was able to have a thorough understanding of the surveillance facilities of Shencheng Pharmaceutical in the previous world. This was not only because the captain had experienced the same thing, but also because he could openly infiltrate the facilities to personally gather intelligence through this side effect.

"Alright, we can discuss that later. Right now, it's important for you to understand the plan we've developed."

So, led by the captain and Tesla, Xing finally reunited with his companions. However, there was good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Danheng is also here, which means that Pam is now the only one guarding the train. If any enemy were to invade, Pam would probably have no chance to fight back.

The good news is that Danheng is safe. Also, thanks to the Dream of Taiyi, as long as the train is still within the Asdna system, there is no need to worry about it being attacked. The Dream of Taiyi will ensure that everyone in the entire system except for Sunday, who is incarnated as Dominix, is trapped in a dream.

"Everyone, do you have any questions?"

Upon seeing Xing arrive, Kiana began to confirm with those present. Xing had naturally learned about their plan from the captain and knew what to do next.

“Very good.” Kiana nodded in satisfaction. “Then let’s briefly review the plan again.”

Kiana then led everyone to a device with a rather peculiar design. This device was the one that Tesla had previously created in collaboration with May, Velvet, and Mebius.

Its main function is to amplify and resonate, and by amplifying the power of the Yellow Springs, it can instantly shroud the entire Taiyi Dream under the power of nothingness.

Resonance is about maximizing the power of the robin's harmony to protect those under the power of the pillar of the underworld from the influence of nothingness.

After all, no one expected the device to be so effective after it was created. So effective that without the help of the robin, Asdna would have become the next Izumo.

Even today, Tesla still remembers one of the times that came closest to this cycle of reincarnation. Back then, the device only had the function of amplifying power. As a result, because they were too focused on the effect, Huang Quan only lightly swung her sword, releasing less than one-thousandth of the power in her body, which instantly covered the entire galaxy.

If Kiana hadn't intervened in time to reverse the flow of time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Even Sunday, who had stolen the power of the Star God of Order, seemed utterly helpless in the face of that power, which resembled a black sun.

Of course, a significant part of this achievement was made possible by the power of the Dream of Taiyi, since the Dream of Taiyi is ultimately a dream constructed by tens of thousands of humans.

For the four doctors from Earth, the project they experienced was strikingly similar to the dream of Taiyi: the Stigmata Project.

This amplification function was actually achieved by combining the principles of the Stigmata Project with research on Taiyi's Dream. However, because the prototype was too powerful, the four had to settle for reducing the power to the most suitable level.

Even so, it was still easy to stir up a completely out-of-control torrent of thoughts in Taiyi's dream, so everyone had to change their approach and start considering using another, relatively gentler power to guide and harmonize it.

When it comes to gentleness, not many people can think of anything, especially since this is the territory of the so-called god of humor, Hipe.

As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Although Alicia had already confessed that they did not realize at the time which star god protected this place, Alicia had to become the star god of pure beauty again in order to use the power of pure beauty.

This was hard for Alicia, who was determined to become a human completely, to accept. Therefore, Alicia made a promise with them that if she still couldn't find a suitable power after the next two cycles, Alicia would be willing to become that star god again.

So, in order to prevent things from really turning out that way, the three doctors from the previous civilization put in a lot of effort to find a solution, but no matter how they thought about it, Alicia becoming the Star Goddess was the most realistic option.

Finally, it was the passing captain who reminded them that the three of them were in the territory protected by Hipe. Putting aside the extreme ideas of the Tong Xie for the time being, her concept of the strong helping the weak can indeed make her a benevolent deity.

Having determined the direction for acquiring power, the next step is to find suitable candidates.

Without a doubt, from the moment the robin met the four doctors, they found the most suitable candidate.

"The plan has now reached its final stage. Everyone, keep your spirits up, victory is just around the corner!"

Kiana then gave a short, encouraging speech before dismissing the group.

After the meeting ended, Huang Quan came up to Xing and said, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see? It seems like we haven't run into each other that many times."

Xing looked at Huang Quan with some surprise, because in her memory, she had encountered Huang Quan more times than they had hunted.

"It may not be a long time for you, but it has been a long time for me."

Why? However, before Huang Quan could answer, another very familiar voice provided the answer for him.

"Because most of the Yellow Springs you encounter later are actually me."

Mei, still wearing the same style of clothes as Huang Quan, walked over from the side.

"I've wanted to ask this from the very beginning: Huang Quan, are you a twin? How come there's someone here who looks so much like you?"

“Although I don’t recall it much, I can tell you definitively that I don’t,” Huang Quan replied. “Have you ever heard of the theory of parallel universe isotopes?”

“I’ve heard of it, and I’ve even experienced it,” Xing replied. “So that’s how it is. So she’s your counterpart one?”

Huang Quan didn't speak, he just kept nodding: "Her name is Raiden Mei, and she is my counterpart."

Now that she fully understands, Hoshino is more concerned with the details of her encounters with Mei than with Mei's identity.

"If we only consider this cycle of reincarnation, let me think, it was probably when you and Sand Gold first met at the hotel that I helped you out of a predicament, and then it was Miss Huang Quan herself who came to ask you for directions..."

Mei recounted the circumstances of her encounter with Hoshino, and it was only after she spoke that Hoshino immediately understood why Yomi had said it had been a long time.

Because aside from iconic scenes like splitting gold dust with a knife, most of the Yomi that Hoshi sees are actually Mei in disguise.

Xingdu wanted to find her own counterpart so she could rest while her counterpart took over her work.

For example, duty roster, duty roster, and so on.

However, these are all just fantasies. Huang Quan came here mainly because she will be the one to deliver the most crucial blow.

Then the robin guides that power, and once the power is stabilized, someone needs to use it. This person should ideally have sufficient physical strength and be able to contain all the energy.

Thus, the star whose core had come to life became the perfect candidate. Don't ask why; this is the affirmative power of the double prophecy from Aponia and Kiana.

Huang Quan came here not only to chat, but also to inform everyone that Project Star was about to begin.

So Huang Quan stood in front of that strange device and gently pushed the knife upwards a little with his left thumb.

Then, he gently placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife and slowly drew it out, tears of blood streaming from the corner of his eyes.

As the knife was completely pulled out, Huang Quan's power was also unleashed. Now, simply by standing there, people would be infected by the nothingness overflowing from her, becoming a new self-destructor or a blood sin spirit.

However, those present were not ordinary people. Even Mei, who was the weakest, received a lot of blessings from Kiana after coming to this world, which at least prevented her from dying easily.

What Kiana didn't expect was that by giving them all equal blessings, she also helped them develop their minds. As a result, Hercules focused his attention on this place and, for the first time ever, issued three invitations.

As the power of Huang Quan was released, the entire space was also stained black, and then Xing, who was facing Huang Quan, was brought to the front of that huge black hole.

Huang Quan's appearance changed drastically after she fully drew her sword. In this space, Huang Quan briefly explained a few words to Xing, and the next second she slashed the air with the sword in her hand.

Then, following the direction from which the Yellow Springs cleaved downwards, a bright red light appeared in the empty air, and Xing saw it.

I saw that knife, a knife powerful enough to unleash a dream.
