Xiao Meng felt as if she was about to crash. The amount of information before her was comparable to the last second before the servers crashed on Double Eleven. She blinked hard, trying to format all the chaotic thoughts in her mind—“Sacrifice,” “Miko,” “Starry Marriage Contract”—but it was no use!
That damned sense of déjà vu was just like when she had secretly eaten her father's spicy snacks as a child, causing tears and snot to flow uncontrollably.
Silence—deadly silence. The previously deafening roar seemed like an illusion, leaving only a faint burnt smell in the air, reminding everyone that what had just happened was not a figment of their imagination.
Suddenly, this tranquility was shattered.
“Ka Cha…Ka Cha…”
It was the sound of mechanical operation, subtle yet piercing, standing out starkly in this bizarre space.
Everyone turned towards the sound and saw that Qingmei, who had been controlled by the Time-Space Termite, began to tremble uncontrollably like a marionette. She stiffly lifted her head, and her once hollow mechanical eyes now flickered with an eerie red light, as if some unknown program had been loaded.
“Beep… Beep… Beep…”
A series of urgent electronic sounds rang out, and then, from Qingmei's mechanical eye sockets, drops of shimmering data-like “tears” began to fall.
The scene was as cyberpunk as it could get—truly a staple of post-apocalyptic films!
“I… I am… the true… Time-Space Termite… host…”
Qingmei's voice was intermittent, reminiscent of an old tape recorder with each word filled with mechanical stiffness. Yet what she said detonated like thunder on a clear day, instantly igniting the crowd.
“What?!” Black-hearted Grandpa widened his eyes, his previously confident expression collapsing in an instant as if he were the NPC struck by a bug.
Then an even more shocking scene unfolded. The gears of the Mechanical Arm, which had been still, suddenly emitted a low hum and without hesitation turned its direction, aiming its cannon at Qingmei!
“Warning! Warning! Target detected unknown virus! Initiating defense protocol!”
The voice of the gears became cold and mechanical, like an emotionless AI.
“Master's program… has been tampered with… for thirty years…”
“Bang!”
Without hesitation, the gears pulled the trigger. A dazzling beam of energy instantly tore through space, heading straight for Qingmei.
Xiao Meng was nearly scared out of her wits.
The plot twist came too quickly! She felt as if she were watching a melodramatic soap opera, never knowing what would happen next. However, just at this critical moment, an unexpected change occurred.
Dr. Lin, who had remained silent until now, suddenly moved. His Mechanical Prosthesis, gleaming with a metallic sheen, emitted a faint blue light. That blue light was like a ravenous beast, greedily absorbing the surrounding Star Sand Energy.
"Dr. Lin, what are you doing?!" Black-hearted Grandpa shouted in terror, as if he had realized something. But it was all too late. Dr. Lin's Mechanical Prosthesis acted like a black hole, continuously devouring Xiao Meng's Star Sand Energy.
At the same time, the Stellar High Priestess slowly approached Xiao Meng and gently draped his embroidered Long Robe adorned with stars over her shoulders. "Witch... you must use the truth of the Three Lifetimes of Memories to rewrite the Marriage Contract..." His voice was weak and ethereal, as if he might vanish at any moment.
Xiao Meng felt the warmth of the Long Robe on her shoulders, and an inexplicable sadness surged within her. It felt as though she were bearing the fate of the entire world, heavy enough to take her breath away.
Just then, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, taking the form of Sunshine. He still wore that cheerful expression, as if nothing had happened. He smiled slightly and pointed to Xiao Meng's back. "The true core... is there..."
Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Xiao Meng's back. There was nothing there. But Xiao Meng sensed a powerful force awakening within her. It was the power of the witch, the power of the Future Scientist, the power of the Otherworldly Princess!
Taking a deep breath, she slowly raised her hands and began to chant an ancient spell. "By the stars as witness and the sun and moon as witnesses, with my blood, I reshape the contract..."
As Xiao Meng's Witch's Incantation and Starry Marriage Contract activated simultaneously, all truths would surface, but an unknown fate would follow...
When Xiao Meng's Ancient Spell and Starry Marriage Contract were both initiated, an unprecedented wave of energy swept through the entire space. The air crackled with electrical sounds, amplified a thousand times like an old television set filled with static.
The previously still Xing Sha began to spin wildly, forming a massive vortex reminiscent of a cosmic singularity explosion. Suddenly, a blinding light erupted from the center of the vortex, causing everyone to instinctively shield their eyes.
As the light faded, a chilling sight appeared before them.
It was a colossal beast composed of countless Memory Fragments, so immense that it seemed capable of devouring the entire universe. It lacked a fixed form, resembling a swirling nebula, with each fragment shimmering in different hues—memories it had consumed.
"My goodness! This thing must have swallowed the hard drives of the entire universe!" Xiao Meng thought to herself. She felt her sanity plummeting; the sight was more thrilling than any horror movie.
Qingmei's consciousness flickered like a tiny firefly, struggling painfully within this monstrous memory entity. Her figure appeared and vanished, as if she could be completely consumed at any moment.
"Qingmei!" Xiao Meng cried out in anguish. She wanted to rush forward but was blocked by an invisible force, helplessly watching Qingmei suffer.
At that moment, the spectral figure of Old Grandpa Plugin suddenly erupted from the bottom of the hourglass. This apparition was clearer than ever before, even revealing the wrinkles on his face.
"The true Golden Finger is..." The old man's voice trembled slightly, as if a century-old secret was finally about to be unveiled. However, before he could finish his sentence, an unexpected change occurred!
Two intersecting Xing Wen suddenly appeared at the location of Xiao Meng's heart—one red and one blue, radiating dazzling light. These Xing Wen were identical to the Starry Mark on Sunshine, only differing in color.
"What the heck? Am I actually the true prince of another world?" Xiao Meng exclaimed in confusion; this plot twist was utterly absurd!
In the next moment, time and space began to distort, and everything around her became blurry. Xiao Meng felt as if she were a sock being sucked into a washing machine, spinning uncontrollably and unable to distinguish East from South or West from North.
"Wait! Grandpa, finish your sentence! What exactly is the true Golden Finger?!" Xiao Meng shouted into the vortex of time and space, but her voice was quickly drowned out by chaos.
Time seemed to freeze and accelerate simultaneously. Xiao Meng felt herself traversing countless timelines, witnessing numerous versions of herself—Ancient Priestess, Future Scientist, Otherworldly Princess… These Memory Fragments flashed before her like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, a familiar Nursery Rhyme echoed in her ears; the melody was so clear and warm, as if it came from distant childhood memories.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..."
This Nursery Rhyme was what Xiao Meng had heard on her twelfth birthday at Black-hearted Grandpa's Genius Children's Training Camp…
