Chapter 1301: Ji Shanqing"s Preparation

Different pocket dimensions had different characteristics, and the Vacation Resort pocket dimension was particularly persistent: as long as you hadn"t spent all your money, even if you were on a flying vehicle, it wouldn"t allow you to escape from the sky.

The flying vehicle, which was heading full speed towards the horizon, had barely gone half a nautical mile when it collided head-on with a thick, steel-reinforced force field. Under this suicidal impact, the flying vehicle exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air. The debris of the aircraft scattered in all directions, engulfed in flames, falling into the sea, causing numerous white-water columns to surge high into the sky.

For a person with the Veda"s abilities, such a mistake was almost unimaginable.

Fortunately, Ji Shanqing managed to grab the water cabin just in time. Even though they fell into the sea, he refused to let go. When countless white bubbles rushed towards the surface, he hurriedly coded a lurking vessel and managed to fit his sister"s water cabin and himself inside. After expelling the water that had seeped in, the lurking vessel resurfaced.

Though in a sorry state, he reacted quickly. He believed his sister was safe inside the water cabin since she had been protected throughout.

While imagining how his sister would float inside the water chamber, Ji Shanqing reconnected his shattered chest bones and spine. This water chamber weighed over a thousand pounds, and when it fell from the sky, he was afraid of losing his sister. He tightly hugged it, and during the spinning descent, it slammed onto the water"s surface with unimaginable force. Falling from high in the sky, the water"s surface wasn"t water anymore; it was concrete. He could hardly find a bone in his body that was intact. It took almost half a minute before he realized that the back of his skull was also completely shattered.

"This is... this is inescapable." Despite going through such a harrowing experience, the therapist still followed him like a shadow, now lying beside the water chamber, panting heavily. "Just enjoy your vacation and don"t... don"t think about stealing our things."

Ji Shanqing remained silent.

He sat on the ground in a daze, gently resting his forehead against the water chamber. Silvan had definitely seen the recent crash, and he would quickly find a way to come over. But what was swirling in his mind now was not this incident. The words Silvan had spoken briefly appeared in his mind and then disappeared.

When his sister wasn"t around, he felt blind, no matter how many times he turned around; he still couldn"t find the light. But when she was with someone else, he felt like a moth trapped under a transparent cover, constantly cras.h.i.+ng into it, breaking his wings, looking pathetic, and yet unable to reach that warm and bright light.

From the very beginning, he had pleaded with his sister for just two months. Bringing his sister back to the Data Stream Library was impossible, so he thought two months would suffice. Remove the cover, let him lie under the light source to warm up, let his wings slowly curl up as they were scorched by the fire. The icy and horrifying drop that awaited him after two months was a concern for the future. However, even two months weren"t granted by the G.o.ds; for every person who left, another would come, separating him and his sister beneath the cover, making it impossible to remove forever.

Today, he finally vaguely realized that whether it was the vast universe or the inscrutable fate, there was no one in the world who would gently allow him to obtain the one thing he desired— not even his sister.

If only his sister had torn him open back in the Mirror Maze.

"Um..." The therapist cautiously looked at him.

It took several seconds for his voice to dissipate before Ji Shanqing came to his senses with a start. "What?"

"If you don"t want to be found, shouldn"t you stay underwater?" The therapist reminded him.

Ji Shanqing was momentarily stunned and then realized the NPC was right. He responded a bit sluggishly and finally sank the lurking vessel into the sea. Gazing at the vast expanse on the radar, his mind was also empty for a while. After a moment, he turned the vessel back towards the beach.

Could the Veda be dispersed?

Nothing in the world existed forever, so the Veda probably couldn"t either. However, from the information he obtained from the Veda, there was no data about how to kill or dissolve one of the Veda, perhaps because they didn"t want to keep such information. But if the Veda didn"t exist, he would never see his sister again.

Then again, if the Veda didn"t exist, he wouldn"t even realize that he couldn"t see his sister anymore.

"She will be able to come out in half an hour," the therapist said, getting closer. "Her treatment progress is quite fast, indicating smooth progress..."

The rest of her words lost meaning in a buzzing sound. His sister would come out in half an hour, and Silvan must still be on the sh.o.r.e, gazing at the sea where they had disappeared.

Right, if he didn"t want to be caught, he shouldn"t return to the beach.

Ji Shanqing suddenly snapped out of his daze and realized he had almost made a very basic mistake: they could have stayed submerged in the water within a half-nautical-mile range and waited out the half-hour. As for when his sister came out, the "teleportation" he obtained from Crane could come in handy. His sister"s friend, Bohemia, would have countless opportunities to spend time with her in the future, but he was like a fox with its leg caught in a trap, unable to go far, unable to keep up with her. He had initially thought about changing to another world and continuing to spend the remaining two months with his sister, which naturally required teleporting together. For this reason, he had done his best to partially a.n.a.lyze the "teleportation," but he couldn"t be certain if it would work immediately.

While waiting for the teleportation, it might be best to be honest with her. He didn"t want Bohemia to come over; back then, he just wanted to make his sister happy. He also didn"t want Silvan to come, which almost led to killing the man. If his sister refused to teleport together because of this.

Ji Shanqing slightly tilted his head, momentarily lost in thought. It is indeed possible that his sister wouldn"t take him with her. He slowly spread out his fair palms and watched as paper and pen swiftly appeared in his hand. Biting the tip of the pen between his teeth, he looked just like a primary school student encountering a difficult question during an exam. Frowning in concentration, he wrote and scratched out words, discarding two sheets of paper before finally managing to form his thoughts into sentences.

Sis,

I have some answers regarding Bohemia"s attachment conditions. First, she needs to find a Special Item called [Independent Thinking]. If she can"t find it, she can try to manufacture one using the [Party Designer B] you used before, or temporarily imitate it with the [Battle Item]. I"ve seen its description in the database, but I didn"t get detailed data on [Independent Thinking], so I"ve written a rough description for you to reference below.

Furthermore, her five stages of life should be related to the Great Deluge. Since the Great Deluge destroyed all regularity, time rules should be among them. If you"re thinking, "The Great Deluge only appeared recently, but Bohemia"s five-stage life phenomenon occurred over a hundred years ago," then you need to take another good look at my previous sentence. I don"t have time to delve into the specific details, but unless something unexpected happens, the solution is straightforward—when Yu Yuan finds you, he will naturally help you. I"ve already told him. (Or should I say "it"?)

PS: J7 is currently in an E-cla.s.s world called [Nest of the Multiclaw Monsters]. Although it"s uncomfortable every day, it"s harmless to robots... I heard that if you catch a multiclaw monster and raise it for a while, you"ll find it quite cute.

"What else do I want to say?"

Ji Shanqing bit the pen again, feeling that the words he wanted to say couldn"t be expressed in any language in the world. If he could compile his daily struggles, desires, and fears into a data package and directly place them into his sister"s mind, she might understand one-millionth of his feelings. But even if he could, he couldn"t bear to do it.

"Oh," the therapist gently called him. "Time"s up, she can come out now."
