As soon as Xiao Meng uttered, "I choose...", Susi's side erupted!
"Bang!"
The sound reverberated, ringing in everyone's ears like firecrackers during the New Year, or a misfired sky rocket.
Xiao Meng turned to look, and goodness, Susi's Mechanical Arm had just put on a show of "ascending into the sky, fireworks bursting."
Parts flew everywhere, sparks crackled, and the air filled with a burnt smell reminiscent of a pizza forgotten in the oven.
A small chip whizzed through the air and landed steadily at Xiao Meng's feet.
On the chip, a string of characters flickered with an eerie glow, resembling the "BUG" warning that appears on a programmer's screen after a long night of coding.
"Wait! This code... is from the Starry Marriage Contract?!" Chen the Blacksmith's eyes widened as if he had discovered a new continent. "Three hundred resets?! Sunshine... has he gone mad?"
The code on the chip unfolded like a solved Rubik's Cube, quickly reassembling into shocking truths:
"Every time he resets his memory... he is protecting you!"
Protecting me? Xiao Meng's brain instantly crashed, her CPU overloaded.
What is this? The information was too overwhelming; she felt a bit nauseous.
That guy Sunshine, who appeared to be a cheerful and talented painter on the surface, had quietly guarded her through three lifetimes?
This plot was even more explosive than an evening soap opera!
Before Xiao Meng could collect her thoughts, the hourglass seemed to sense her inner turmoil and began to spin wildly.
Golden grains of sand flowed backward like a reversed galaxy, and a powerful wave of energy surged from within Xiao Meng.
"Buzz—"
In the air, an ancient chant echoed as if it came from a distant prehistoric era.
A bronze Star Chart, bearing the marks of time, slowly materialized before Xiao Meng.
The intricate and mysterious patterns on the Star Chart emitted a faint ghostly light, resembling the tools used by Ancient Priestesses during rituals.
"It’s... it’s the Ancient Priestess's Bronze Star Disk!" Chen the Blacksmith's voice changed pitch as if he had seen something extraordinary.
However, this Star Chart was not here to save the world; it was here to stir up trouble!
A powerful suction force emanated from Xiao Meng's mind, as if it wanted to drain all her memories away.
"Ah!" Xiao Meng cried out in pain, clutching her head as she felt like her skull might explode.
Her modern memories surged toward Sunshine like wild horses breaking free!
"This is bad! Temporal memory backlash!" Chen the Blacksmith exclaimed in horror, his face turning pale.
Sunshine had been staring blankly at Xiao Meng, still trying to grasp what was happening when he was struck by this sudden force.
His body jolted violently as his left eye erupted with dazzling light.
This light was not ordinary; it was composed of countless twisted fragments of time and space, resembling a miniature black hole that devoured everything around it.
"Ugh..." Sunshine groaned in pain as he covered his left eye, his body swaying precariously as if he might collapse at any moment.
"Quick! Use the Star Covenant Code!" Chen the Blacksmith shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with desperation.
However, it was already too late.
A cold smile crept across the lips of Black-hearted Grandpa.
"Hehehe... the real show has just begun!"
He slowly raised his hands, and his once intact mechanical body began to undergo a bizarre transformation.
The metallic skeleton emitted a piercing grinding sound, as if countless gears were spinning wildly.
His body continued to expand, ultimately transforming into a massive graveyard of gears!
Countless gears of various sizes were stacked upon one another, forming a terrifying steel beast.
Within each gear was imprisoned a sealed child's memory, helplessly struggling and letting out desperate cries.
"Oh my... this is like a childhood trauma plus version!" Xiao Meng said, her scalp tingling as she couldn't help but comment.
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed from deep within the gear graveyard.
"Priestess... quickly consume my memories!"
Xiao Meng looked up sharply and saw Lin Xiaoman's Mechanical Puppet gazing at her with an extremely eerie expression.
Her voice was hoarse and hollow, as if summoned from the depths of hell.
"Xiao Man?!" Xiao Meng could hardly believe her ears; her little friend had also been caught up in this conspiracy.
Lin Xiaoman's Mechanical Puppet slowly extended its hands, seemingly inviting Xiao Meng closer.
Her body began to gradually disintegrate into countless tiny fragments that flew towards Xiao Meng.
"Come... consume me... then... stop him..."
Lin Xiaoman's voice grew weaker until it vanished into the endless darkness.
Xiao Meng stood frozen in place, feeling the increasingly powerful force within her; her mind was in chaos.
The memories of the Ancient Priestess, the consciousness of a modern girl, and Lin Xiaoman's desperate call intertwined to form a massive whirlpool.
Should she accept Lin Xiaoman's memories and fight Black-hearted Grandpa to the death? Or...
"Xiao Meng..." Sunshine's voice came weakly, accompanied by a painful groan.
Xiao Meng snapped back to reality and saw Sunshine looking at her with an incredibly complex expression.
His left eye still flickered with distorted fragments of time and space, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"Sunshine..." Xiao Meng felt a surge of guilt and worry in her heart.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and prepared to face her impending fate...
Suddenly, a cold sensation brushed against her cheek.
She opened her eyes wide to see Sunshine slowly extending his hand, gently caressing her face.
His fingertips were icy but carried a hint of warmth.
"Trust me..." he said softly, his voice hoarse yet gentle.
A wave of inexplicable emotions surged within Xiao Meng. She didn't know what Sunshine intended to do, but she chose to trust him. She slowly nodded, allowing his fingers to gently trace her face.
Suddenly, Sunshine's fingers paused at her brow. His fingertips emitted a faint glow, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Are you ready?" he asked quietly, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
Xiao Meng's heart skipped a beat. She had no idea what would happen next. She tightly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and mustered all her strength to nod.
"Come on..." she whispered, her voice filled with anticipation and fear.
A mysterious smile curled at the corners of Sunshine's mouth. He slowly lowered his head, gently resting his forehead against Xiao Meng's brow.
"From here on, leave it to me..." he murmured, his voice growing softer until it faded into the endless darkness.
As a whirlwind of sensations enveloped her, Xiao Meng felt her consciousness gradually blur. Her last memory was of Sunshine's starry eyes and that enigmatic smile on his lips...
Xiao Meng felt as if she had fallen into a blender, various Memory Fragments bursting like colorful jelly beans in her mind. The chant of the Ancient Priestess, the clamor of a futuristic city, the noise of a classroom in another world... it was like an epic film depicting a mental breakdown!
She struggled to grasp something, but it slipped through her fingers like soap—impossible to hold onto.
Suddenly, the scene froze.
In a cold metallic laboratory, the air was thick with the scent of disinfectant that stung Xiao Meng's nose. A figure in a white coat stood with their back to her, fiddling with a familiar object—the Time Sandglass!
The figure was slender yet strong, with neat short hair; it was clear they were a scientific expert.
Wait! That silhouette... that hairstyle... could it be herself?!
The Memory Fragments of Future Scientist clicked into place in Xiao Meng's mind like pieces of a puzzle. It dawned on her that this was indeed her future self!
What shocked her even more was watching Future Xiao Meng respectfully hand the Time Sandglass to an elderly man with white hair.
"I beg you..." Future Xiao Meng's voice trembled slightly as if she were completing a sacred mission.
The old man smiled kindly as he accepted the hourglass; his smile was like the warm sun in winter, comforting and brightening the heart.
But just then, the wind tousled the old man's white hair, revealing hidden beneath it... mechanical eyes!
The eyes were cold and merciless, resembling that of the Black-hearted Grandpa.
"What the hell is going on?!" Xiao Meng's heart roared, feeling as if her worldview had been shattered.
It turned out that all of this was a scheme by the Black-hearted Grandpa! He had disguised himself as a kind old man, deceiving Future Xiao Meng into trusting him and obtaining the Time Sandglass!
"This is terrifying! This old man is no simple character!" Xiao Meng couldn't help but exclaim; this twist was more thrilling than watching a suspense film!
At that moment, a familiar figure slowly emerged from the Gear Graveyard.
It was her Childhood Sweetheart, Lin Xiaoman.
Xiao Man's Mechanical Puppet had hollow eyes, like a soulless marionette.
She slowly reached out her hand, walking towards Xiao Meng, repeatedly murmuring, "Save me... save me..."
Xiao Meng's heart ached as if it had been pierced by needles.
How she wished to rush over, embrace Xiao Man, and tell her that everything would be alright.
But she couldn't move. Her body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.
Just then, the sandglass began to act up again!
A dazzling light flashed, and an old photograph appeared on the surface of the sandglass.
In the photo stood a young Mu Yun alongside the Black-hearted Grandpa, both smiling brightly like close brothers.
Xiao Meng immediately recognized the young Mu Yun.
He was Sunshine's father and the king from her memories of another world.
"What’s going on? Mu Yun actually knows the Black-hearted Grandpa?" Xiao Meng was filled with confusion.
She carefully examined the photograph and suddenly noticed a line of strange text along its edge.
The text was twisted and ancient, resembling some kind of mysterious incantation.
"Priestess awakening instant space-time restart..." Xiao Meng struggled to decipher the words, her heart tightening.
Could this be... a prophecy?
At that moment, the Bronze Star Disk suddenly cracked open with a gap, and a hand reached out from within...
"Don't move..." A cold voice echoed in Xiao Meng's ear.
