Chapter 1219: I Was Here

"Zhichun..." Jiang Ruoxue stopped and looked at Yan Zhichun, sensing that the other's conviction was becoming unclear. "Are you okay? Are you too tired...?"

"I’m fine... just..." Yan Zhichun paused, remembering that Jiang Ruoxue had been right behind her moments ago, but now she was to the left in front. "I have this very familiar feeling..."

This was a sensation that only appeared during Bai Yang's chaos.

Chu Tianqiu and Qin Dingdong were together, and both felt equally disoriented.

They had followed Di Shu for a short while when they noticed Di Shu's position starting to shift, as if it had teleported a short distance.

When Chu Tianqiu turned his head again, he saw that the wounds on Zhang Shan's body had moved to different spots.

Qin Dingdong wasn't sure if this was an illusion, so she tentatively asked, "Chu Tianqiu... do you feel something's off?"

"I..."

Chu Tianqiu and Qin Dingdong opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene before them, only to see everything restore itself moments later, returning to how it had been a few seconds before.

It was as if, in those few seconds, the two of them had gone through a bizarre journey where everything differed slightly from now, yet it all seemed like it had never happened.

"I don't know..." Chu Tianqiu frowned and said.

He had encountered this feeling before, but never as intensely as today.

He felt as though he was very close to the center of the storm, with even his memories being affected by something.

"Bai Yang..." Qi Xia struggled to control his thoughts and said, "Stop glorifying yourself... Didn't you kill those people?"

"Oh?" Bai Yang shrugged noncommittally. "Did I?"

"When I couldn't go on after killing too many people... wasn't it you who took over for me?" Qi Xia continued. "Without such a thick 'End Times Aura'... how could I have killed thousands?"

Bai Yang stared into Qi Xia's eyes for a long time and smiled. "It looks like you've once again held onto your last shred of sanity."

"I can't go mad... If I do... the consequences would be too severe." Qi Xia frowned and said, "I still need those three..."

"The three people whose memories last the longest... right?" Bai Yang asked in return.

"Yes..." Qi Xia rubbed his forehead and said, "You should also know... what's in the minds of everyone who boarded the vehicle now..."

"The entire history of the 'End Times Land'." Bai Yang glanced toward the door and said, "Even Qian Wu has boarded, and with those scattered thousands of 'participants', their memories cover the whole history of the 'End Times Land'."

"Exactly." Qi Xia lifted his head and said, "With their memories, I can take everyone from the 'End Times Land' away..."

"Won't there be any oversights?" Bai Yang asked.

"Oversights..." Qi Xia narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. "No."

"What about An? Who's going to take her?" Bai Yang asked.

"An..."

Qi Xia's expression gradually changed, and in the next instant, his head throbbed painfully. He bowed his head, clutching his hair and groaning softly.

He felt his brain was always divided into two parts—one with unbeatable rationality, the other with fanciful emotion—and now these two parts were roughly merging.

"Because you can't leave," Bai Yang said. "You can't leave... Whose memories have her in them?"

"Wait a minute..." Qi Xia clutched his hair and whispered, "We can't talk about this topic right now..."

Yan Zhichun, who had just regained her senses, felt her mind sink heavily, and she nearly fell over.

Jiang Ruoxue quickly reached out to steady her, but in a daze, she saw Yan Zhichun vanish from in front of her and reappear at her side.

"Ruoxue, what’s wrong?" Yan Zhichun at her side asked.

"Ah?"

Jiang Ruoxue turned her head while reaching out, only to find that the Yan Zhichun beside her had disappeared, and the one in front was about to fall, luckily caught by her outstretched hand.

This disorienting feeling made Jiang Ruoxue wonder if she was going mad.

"I... I’m fine..." Yan Zhichun shook her head and said, "I just zoned out... It's an old issue..."

"What kind of old issue?" Jiang Ruoxue glanced warily at the spot where Yan Zhichun had just been and asked, "I've never heard you mention it?"

"I... never mind." Yan Zhichun shook her head. "There's nothing to say."

Jiang Ruoxue sensed that there was some confusion about Yan Zhichun now, but it wasn't mental confusion—it was more like...

A confusion of time and space.

At that moment, Chu Tianqiu was leaning against the wall, and Zhang Shan looked at him anxiously.

"What the... Tianqiu, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Shan asked, puzzled. "You've been acting strange since earlier..."

As Zhang Shan spoke, he noticed Chu Tianqiu's appearance suddenly change—his eyes became gentle and refined, with a smile on his face.

This look was just like when Zhang Shan had first seen him at "Tian Tang Kou".

But in the blink of an eye, Chu Tianqiu's eyes turned red again, and a bit of his killing intent returned.

"I'm fine... Go check on Qin Dingdong..." Chu Tianqiu shook his head and said, "I can hold on..."

"Qin..." Zhang Shan turned around and looked at the girl who had come with him. "Are you okay?"

Qin Dingdong's face was a bit pale. She hesitated, then looked up as if about to say something, but her expression suddenly regained color.

"I'm fine."

Now it was Zhang Shan's turn to be confused.

What on earth was going on with these two?

Not far away, Di Shu saw the strangeness in the two and stopped, narrowing his eyes in thought.

There were no enemies in sight... yet these two seemed like their beliefs had been shaken... What was happening?

"Chu Tianqiu..." Qin Dingdong gritted her teeth and asked, "Is this feeling really right?"

Only then did Chu Tianqiu gradually realize how absurd the situation was. The people and scenery in front of him kept changing. How could he describe this abstract feeling...

"It's like these things have happened once before..." Chu Tianqiu murmured, "And our memories are getting mixed up with those from then..."

"Ah...?" Qin Dingdong was stunned.

"It's like... I've been to this place in a dream before..." Chu Tianqiu reached out and touched the wall. "Only the circumstances in the dream were a bit different from now... And now my mind is deciding which one to believe."

"What the... I'm getting more and more confused..." Zhang Shan muttered. "You two are just daydreaming out of nowhere...?"

"I can't say for sure..." Qin Dingdong said, "But Chu Tianqiu's description is spot on—it captures exactly what I'm feeling. I also feel like I've been here before, but I don't remember it at all..."
