Xiao Meng felt as if she was about to crack open. What on earth was happening? Just a moment ago, she had been ignited by a flicker of hope that Sunshine might still be alive, but in the next instant, she was hit by this surreal turn of events, leaving her dazed and her mind in a complete shutdown.
Dr. Lin's Holographic Projection, which had already carried the rigid and meticulous demeanor typical of scientists, was now visibly distorting at an alarming rate. The pixels began to break down, and the colors turned bizarre, resembling a terrifying scene from a low-quality animated film.
He screamed in agony, his voice intermittent and crackling with electrical static, sending chills down her spine. “Xiao… Meng… quickly… leave… here… it’s dangerous…”
Before Xiao Meng could process his warning, something even more horrifying occurred. “Ka Cha—” With a sharp sound, the exquisitely designed and technologically advanced Mechanical Prosthesis on her arm suddenly… betrayed her!
The prosthetic limb, which had once fit snugly against her arm, now seemed to awaken with a mind of its own, producing unsettling grinding noises at the joints. It broke free from its connection to Xiao Meng's arm, its metallic surface gleaming with a dangerous light, like a long-dormant beast finally revealing its fangs.
“What the hell! What’s going on? Is mechanical rebellion in vogue now?” Xiao Meng thought frantically while her body instinctively recoiled, trying to create distance. However, the Mechanical Prosthesis moved faster than she anticipated.
“The young master’s program takes precedence over you,” a cold, mechanical voice emanated from the prosthetic.
Only then did Xiao Meng notice that the gear butler, who should have been gentle and friendly, now had eerie red lights flashing in his mechanical eyes. The gears… he was being controlled!
“Gear! Wake up! It’s me, Xiao Meng! Don’t you remember telling me bedtime stories when we were kids?” Xiao Meng attempted to revive Gear's memories, but all she received in response was the chilling sound of metal clashing.
At that critical moment, a warm and powerful force enveloped Xiao Meng. The Stellar High Priestess had somehow appeared beside her; her long robe adorned with Starshine resembled the brightest galaxy in the night sky, radiating a soft yet steadfast glow that surrounded Xiao Meng.
“Priestess, we must restart the Marriage Contract using the complete form of Three Lifetimes of Memories,” the Stellar High Priestess said urgently and gravely.
Three Lifetimes of Memories? Complete form?
Xiao Meng felt her brain struggling to keep up. All she wanted to know was what kind of bizarre situation this was!
However, before she could think further, the surrounding scene shifted again. The Starlight Power that should have guided them and dispelled darkness had turned chaotic and violent. Those brilliant Starshine particles began to be consumed by a swirling black mist, twisting until they formed a nauseating vortex of darkness.
“The Star Positioning Technique has been distorted by the Time Worm…” The Stellar High Priestess's voice carried a hint of pain.
This was bad!
Xiao Meng realized that things were far worse than she had imagined.
"Ka Cha! Ka Cha! Ka Cha!"
The gears controlled the rebellious Mechanical Prosthesis, assembling at an astonishing speed into a massive steel cage that trapped Xiao Meng and the Stellar High Priestess within. The cold metal barrier exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
At that moment, a deep, hoarse voice, like a whisper from hell, echoed in Xiao Meng's ear.
"Use the Priestess's Xing Wen to activate the final form of the Time-Space Termite..."
It was... the voice of Black-hearted Grandpa! He was here too! Moreover, it seemed he was somehow controlling the enormous Borer Puppet.
Xiao Meng fearfully lifted her head. Through the gaps in the steel cage, she saw the gigantic Borer Puppet slowly rotating its eerie compound eyes, its ghostly green light locking onto her with an unyielding gaze.
It appeared to be assessing a fine piece of art, yet also scrutinizing an imminent prey.
What filled Xiao Meng with despair was that the Xing Wen on her chest was now radiating an increasingly intense starlight, as if drawn by some mysterious force, beginning to flicker uncontrollably.
She could feel something stirring within her body, something on the verge of breaking free from its cocoon.
It was a power both familiar and foreign, belonging to the Ancient Priestess, the Future Scientist, and the Otherworldly Princess.
It was her Three Lifetimes of Memories.
But was she truly ready to embrace all of this? Could she bear such a heavy responsibility?
Just as Xiao Meng sank deeper into confusion and fear, she suddenly felt a cold chill creeping up her spine.
It was a bone-deep cold that seemed intent on freezing her completely.
With great difficulty, she turned her head and saw the face of the Stellar High Priestess turning pale beyond belief.
Her once-bright eyes were now filled with fear and despair.
"The Ancient Spell of Xuan Ji... is out of control..." the Stellar High Priestess murmured, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible.
Xiao Meng felt her head buzzing as if hundreds of bees were holding a concert inside it, making her dizzy.
The Ancient Spell of Xuan Ji? Star Sand Annihilation?
What on earth were these things?
She felt as though she had been thrown into a giant information dumpster, with chaotic fragments of information raining down on her, leaving her utterly overwhelmed.
Suddenly, an indescribable chill shot from her feet to the top of her head, as if she had fallen into an ice pit, penetrating even her bones with coldness.
Looking down, she saw that the Xing Wen on her chest was flashing wildly, emitting blinding light as if issuing a silent Warning to her.
“My God! Is this thing about to explode?” Xiao Meng was so frightened that she almost jumped up, instinctively clutching her chest, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat.
At the same time, Dr. Lin's holographic image began to twitch, resembling a robot suffering from dementia, mumbling some incomprehensible words.
“Warning! Warning! Future memory zone collapse! Star Sand Annihilation activated! Repeat, Star Sand Annihilation activated! Please evacuate immediately!”
“Evacuate? Where to? This broken cage doesn’t even have a dog hole!” Xiao Meng felt like crying without tears, trapped like a little white mouse in a cage, helplessly watching the technician press the red button.
Just then, the Stellar High Priestess suddenly stepped forward, blocking Xiao Meng’s path.
The urgency and seriousness that had been on her face were replaced by a holy radiance, as if she were a virgin about to walk to the altar.
“Seer, your Marriage Contract must be reforged; it is your destined fate.” The Stellar High Priestess’s voice was calm and resolute, carrying a sense of determination as if she were prepared to face death.
“Wait! What are you going to do?” Xiao Meng felt an ominous premonition and wanted to stop the Stellar High Priestess but found herself unable to move, as if bound by an invisible force.
The Stellar High Priestess slowly raised her hands, chanting softly. A gentle white light emanated from her body, enveloping her entirely.
The white light grew stronger, eventually coalescing into a dazzling beam that shot up into the sky.
Xiao Meng felt her body becoming lighter, as if she might float away.
She saw the Stellar High Priestess’s form gradually becoming transparent until she vanished into that brilliant beam of light.
“No! Don’t!” Xiao Meng screamed with all her might but could not produce any sound.
At that moment, a shining golden Xing Sha suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Meng.
The Xing Sha quickly expanded into a translucent hand that gently caressed Xiao Meng's cheek.
A warm power surged from within her, dispelling the cold chill that had enveloped her.
She felt her body regain control, and the Xing Wen on her chest stopped flickering, returning to calmness.
In the distance came a violent rumbling sound, like metal clashing against rock, deafeningly loud.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound grew closer and louder, as if something enormous was approaching them.
Suddenly, the rumbling ceased abruptly.
A profound silence followed.
“Sunshine…” Xiao Meng murmured, as if she could see that cheerful boy named Sunshine standing not far away, smiling at her.
