Chapter 89 We'll Go Back to the Past
Kevin sensed the changes taking place above Sky City, his face expressionless.
At that moment, Gray Snake appeared behind Kevin and bowed respectfully to report the situation.
"My Lord, Project Saint Mark..."
"wait."
Kevin only replied with this one word.
Upon hearing this, the red light in the gray snake's pupils flickered slightly, and it nodded in response.
……
The people of World Serpent are gone, and Sky City has now been purified by Chen Feng. Walking Honkai Beasts are basically nowhere to be seen in the surrounding cities.
Therefore, Theresa was not in a hurry to return to St. Freya Academy. Instead, she took the group back to the Hyperion and let Chen Feng and Kiana rest for a while.
As for Durandal and Rita, Theresa also invited them in to rest for a while.
Inside Chen Feng's room, Kiana sat by the bed, quietly watching Chen Feng sleeping soundly. Despite her exhaustion, she remained by his side.
Kiana looked at Chen Feng lying on the bed, reached out and held his hand, stared at his face and began to talk to herself.
"Your hair has turned a lot whiter."
Kiana's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of waking him up, or perhaps afraid that he would hear her.
"I could at least fool myself into thinking I could dye my hair before, but now it's probably hard to even do that."
She reached out and lightly touched Chen Feng's hair with her fingertips, then pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
"You're always like this, never saying a word, always bearing everything on your own. When I ask you if it hurts or you're tired, you always say no, you're not tired."
As she spoke, her voice began to tremble.
"Do you really think I can't see it? I'm not as stupid as you think."
After saying that, Kiana paused for a long time.
"Do you know, sometimes I'm afraid you'll wake up, afraid that after you wake up you'll act like nothing happened, smile and tell me it's okay, and then the next time you'll rush in front of me again, risking your life."
Could you, even just once, think about yourself first?
Her voice trembled slightly.
"I know you won't change, that's just who you are. But could you... at least let me be with you, instead of carrying this burden alone?"
She spoke very softly for the last sentence, and she held the other person's hands with both of them.
"...Please."
She lowered her head and gently pressed her forehead against Chen Feng's hand, quietly feeling the warmth of his hand.
Mei stood at the door, looking through the window at the scene inside, but she didn't dare to push the door open.
This incident is over, and she hasn't been able to help much. Now, seeing Chen Feng and Kiana looking so tired, she feels terrible.
Mei's fingers lingered on the doorknob for a long time before finally letting go.
She turned around and leaned against the wall in the corridor.
She closed her eyes, and in the quiet corridor, she could hear her own heartbeat.
Bronya and Seele stood at the end of the corridor, neither of them approaching Mei.
"Bronya-neechan, Mei-neechan, she..."
Seele was very worried because Kevin had said those words in front of all of them.
With Kiana and Chen Feng's provocation this time, Seele is genuinely worried about Mei.
Bronya pursed her lips, but ultimately shook her head.
"Let her make her own decision. If it's for Chen Feng and everyone else, Bronya will support Mei."
……
When Durandal entered the room, the atmosphere visibly froze for a moment.
All eyes turned to the doorway, where Durandal stood quietly, dressed in a simple dark coat, surveying the people in the room.
Her gaze lingered on each person's face for a moment, and without the usual pleasantries, she spoke directly and bluntly.
"You can see that too, right?"
After she said that, no one in the room responded.
But this silence is the best answer.
Upon seeing this, Durandal nodded slightly.
She then continued, "I came here just to confirm a few things. Now that you can all see it, things are much easier."
With that, Durandal closed the door, tossed her golden hair, and then came to Kiana's side, speaking softly, "So, are you all gathered here to discuss how he saved you in the past, or how to save him in the present?"
This time, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, they were powerless to save him at that moment.
Even if you tell your past self a lot about the future, growth takes time.
If you know everything about the future, then what?
Feeling anxious and helpless at the same time?
Suddenly, they felt a deep sense of suffocation.
Upon seeing this, Durandal's eyes revealed an expression of "I knew it."
It's impossible that they didn't discuss how to save Chen Feng from the past when they got together, but judging from the expressions on their faces, they were truly powerless.
"You have already seen it with your own eyes. His hair is almost completely white now. If he doesn't do something soon, he will still die."
The air seemed to freeze instantly at that moment.
The sound of the wind outside the window and the distant noise were all crushed by this sentence.
No one refuted.
Because they all knew that Durandal was telling the truth.
They all saw it.
In their memories, the image of him desperately resisting each time kept replaying in their minds.
They all knew it in their hearts, but none of them were as direct as Durandal in breaking through this barrier.
Durandal didn't say another word.
That was all she could say; she could only offer them this much advice.
After all, even she felt extremely powerless right now.
Durandal turned and left, the door closing gently behind her, the shutting door seeming like a boulder crashing down on everyone's hearts.
After a long while, Kiana slowly raised her head, her smile bitter.
"How could I not know that? But I really can't change it."
"Because we were too weak in the past."
Bronya's voice was cold. "Even if we know the future, we can't change anything. Every time, it's him who shields us from everything."
"Feathered Dust can influence the past, and I'm willing to pay any price to achieve that!"
"We want to go back."
Mei's voice trembled, but it was unusually firm. "It's not about changing history, nor about reversing fate—we just want to go back once. To use our past selves to carry our present selves and meet him one last time."
"We want to see him."
Bronya continued, "I want to tell him myself—you don't need to work so hard anymore. We can save this world together."
"As long as he can live a good life..."
Seele's voice was as soft as a sigh, "This is fine."
The room light fell on their faces, illuminating their stubborn eyes.
They have made their decision.
Even if it's just a brief return to the past, even if it's just for that guy who always smiles and protects everyone, even just once—
He could be protected by them once.
