Chapter 257 Gradually Entering Jiajing
Rumble—————
The purple-black electric light in the sky kept shining, as if it was integrated with the night, but it covered up all the light of the silver moon and the starry sky. In an instant, the entire sky in the Xicui area was haunted by an ominous and strange feeling.
The awakened people and Pokémon looked up one after another, full of panic and bewilderment. What's more, they bent their knees, knelt down and prostrated, shouting, 'Sinnoh is angry! ’ ‘This is God’s punishment! ’ ‘Forgive me! ’ and so on.
But the change of the space-time rift is not for the Xicui area, nor for the Pokémon, but just to disperse two outsiders who do not belong to this era.
In Tianguan Mountain, the Pokémon living near the top of the mountain are fleeing down the mountain non-stop. Although the space-time rift has not had any substantial impact so far, it just looks bluffing, but it is enough for them to escape.
To seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, even Pokémon understands this unbreakable truth.
For a moment, the entire Tianguan Mountain became restless, the fearful cries of the Pokémon, the panting sounds of running and the sound of footsteps rolling over the snow were mixed together.
Xu Qiansu stepped forward quickly, opened the curtain, and looked up.
They were walking on the mountain path at the moment, and they were still on the way up the mountain, and the distance to the top of the mountain was only half an hour away... So when they looked up, they saw that the top of Tianguan Mountain was full of waves like an avalanche.
This is caused by the Pokémon stepping on the snow and descending the mountain together.
A snow boy hurried down the mountain, happened to come near the frame, but his foot slipped, rolled all the way down the steep slope, and immediately rose into the air, about to fall on the hard tree trunk.
Xu Qiansu quickly took it into her arms.
Xuetong shook his head, shaking all the snow off his body, and then looked up at Xu Qiansu.
"Let's go." Xu Qiansu smiled gently, tapped it on the forehead, and then tossed it lightly.
Xuetongzi looked back at Xu Qiansu, but he didn't dare to stay for long and continued down the mountain.
Xu Qiansu's smile slowly subsided, he looked up at the extremely unstable space-time vortex, pursed his lips and pondered for a while, and then leaned into the carriage... Liuwei and Zoroya have been subdued, and they are naturally in the elf ball at this moment. Among them, only Xanadu, the little marsupial and the rattan snake are still outside.
However, neither Xanadu, Vine Snake, nor Marsupials are afraid. They stepped forward and raised their faces slightly, saying that no matter what happens, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you.
Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and smiled, hugged the little marsupial, stroked her back, and then looked at Cattleya, "There is a change in the space-time rift... Maybe it has something to do with us."
Cattleya's snow-white pretty face was still as calm and lazy as before. She withdrew her mental power from the magic stone slab, and immediately flipped her bare hand, and a purple-black pendant lay obediently in her snow-white palm... But the pendant On top of it, there are cracks on the cloth, which start to spread slowly. It is estimated that in less than ten minutes, the pendant will be completely broken... and the gate of time and space will be forcibly opened.
Xu Qiansu didn't say much, but asked straight to the point, "Is this the key for us to travel through time and space?"
Cattleya nodded slightly, and explained briefly, "It's just the leftovers I used to open the gate of time and space, but I can use it a few more times... The only difficulty is that it is difficult to protect you on the way through the back of the world, But now that there are magical slates, there is no need to worry about this..."
Xu Qiansu's brows were frivolous, and as soon as he changed his mind, he knew that the rift in time and space changed so much because he sensed this purple-black pendant of the same style as Miss Mary... It seems that Cresselia was right. Resisting the arrival of Xu Qiansu and Cattleya, but not directly, but using this almost fateful coincidence to drive them away.
Maybe that's why Kirulian descended on the Skycrown Mountain Range... Only in this way can Xu Qiansu and Cattleya get close to the space-time rift, so that they can be driven away.
And Xiaozhao, as Arceus' laborer, has no such worries. ,
Xu Qiansu and Cattleya obviously do not have such a big backstage as Xiaozhao, and Arceus will not be idle to protect them.
While thinking about it, Xu Qiansu fumbled in his bosom, took out Sorolla's elf ball, and pursed his lips.
Since 'Xicui' is like this when facing Xu Qiansu, what should 'Hyundai' be like when facing Sorolla? Will he use all the coincidences to drive it back to Xicui like this? Will it suffer? Is it the right choice to take Sorolla out of this era?
Xu Qiansu slightly tightened the hand holding the Sorolla Pokéball, and immediately put it in his arms, looking at Cattleya.
"Ready?" Cattleya raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with her head tilted.
"Shouldn't I be the one to ask you this question?"
"I said before, you don't need to worry about anything, you just need to rely on me, and I will naturally bring you back to modern times intact... So even if there is a change at this moment, I am 100% sure." Cattleya said The tone seems to say that the sky is blue, the water is transparent, and today's dinner is delicious... revealing the confidence and reliability that can't be explained.
She has used her mental power to cover up the aura of the magical slate, so she doesn't have to worry about Giratina seizing treasures and killing people... Besides, even if Giratina really comes to find fault, Cattleya has a way, not to mention killing him, but Escape is still no problem...
After all, in the past three years, Cattleya has been thinking about killing Kyurem all the time, and she has figured out several ways to deal with the beast.
Whether it is effective or not is another story, but there is always a method available.
Xu Qiansu gently pinched the little marsupial's chubby tail and smiled slightly, "Let's go back."
"Caroo~"
"Pocha~"
Xanadu took a look at Cattleya, she always wondered if this female human being had bad intentions towards Xu Qiansu... It wasn't that Xanadu was targeting Cattleya, Xanadu just suspected everyone around Xu Qiansu equally... She only believed in herself Can protect Xu Qiansu well.
But Xanadu has no way to travel through time and space, so he has to trust Cattleya for the time being.
Xu Qiansu took out the Pokémon's pokemon balls, took them back, and looked around.
There is nothing Xu Qiansu needs to take back in the ordinary carriage.
It's just... this frame was made by him and the Pokémon from Hidden Spring, so it's a pity to leave it where it is now.
But it is impossible for him to take it away... There is no time to arrange it at this moment.
It can only be thrown here.
Xu Qiansu looked back, looked through the window at the silver moon hanging in the night sky, and after a little silence, turned back to look at Cattleya.
"Let's go back."
Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu quietly, didn't say much, just stretched out her white and tender hands.
Xu Qiansu reached out to shake hands with her.
The purple-black pendant floated up in the sky, reflecting some illusory purple light on the moonlight. In the next moment, spider web-like cracks spread all over the pendant, and then shattered, and the fragments turned into light spots and dissipated in the void. A vortex like a black hole appeared inside the carriage.
There is no suction, no sound, just floating in the air like this, but it exudes an extremely strong sense of existence, as if a small hole has been broken in the space.
The gate of time and space.
Xu Qiansu and Cattleya looked at each other, and immediately stepped into the vortex...the two disappeared without a trace.
After the two disappeared, the gate of time and space suddenly disappeared under the restoration of the world.
The space-time vortex at the top of the Tianguan Mountains also disappeared along with the gate of time and space, and the night sky returned to its usual tranquility and coldness.
All over Xicui, human beings looked at the night sky with faces full of incomprehension. This space-time vortex suddenly appeared half a month ago, and it has been peaceful until just a few minutes ago, but it suddenly disappeared... This, what is this? What is it?
Ultramarine Coast, Ultramarine Town.
Feng held Liuwei in his arms, raised his baby-fat face, and stared blankly at the night sky returning to normal.
"Huh?" Liuwei raised his eyes to look at her, and tilted his little head.
Feng looked at it for a while, then looked away, smiled coquettishly, and said: "If only I could grow up quickly... Then I can travel."
"Huh?" Liuwei crooked her little face again, why has she never heard of Feng wanting to travel before?
...
Stepping into the gate of time and space, Xu Qiansu only felt the darkness in front of his eyes, and there was always a sense of separation between his soul and body, as if countless hands were pulling his consciousness, and immediately there was a mysterious and mysterious feeling from his slippery and soft hands. The power to crush those hands directly... But Xu Qiansu still felt nauseated and dizzy.
But this is a normal physiological phenomenon of passing through the gate of time and space. Traveling through time and space with a human body will not cause no reaction at all. Just nausea and dizziness are already very mild side effects... It is similar to motion sickness and seasickness .
After the dizziness passed, Xu Qiansu opened his eyes, and the scene behind the world came into view.
Even Xu Qiansu couldn't help being a little shocked.
There is no sunshine, no plants, not even land, only dilapidated and gloomy, countless floating islands floating in the air, but the floating islands are facing the 'center of the earth', the river flows backwards, the waterfall hangs upside down, and above the floating islands there is a The gray sea...
The world with reversed gravity corresponds to everything in this world, but it is completely opposite.
Xu Qiansu and Cattleya were floating in the air, but it seemed that they were the one with the reversed gravity.
But not far below the two of them, there is a misty gray mist... Needless to say, this thing cannot be touched. Once it falls into the gray mist, no one knows what will happen.
This is the back side of the world, it can also be called the reverse world, the space where Giratina lives... is the place where the gods are exiled.
Xu Qiansu first touched the elf ball on her waist...it was still there.
Nothing was missing from him.
Xu Qiansu turned her head to look, Cattleya was holding him with one hand, and holding the magic stone in the other... obviously drawing strength from it.
She has her eyes closed at the moment, and her expression is very serious... She is concentrating on sensing the position, looking for a path that spans thousands of years.
At the back of the world, time and space are completely chaotic, just take a step and open the door of time and space, and you will appear at any time in this world.
Cattleya chooses to use her body sense time as the standard... then go to the modern March 4th.
She has the experience of traveling through the back of the world, not to say she is familiar with it, at least she can handle it with ease, so within a few minutes, she opened her eyes, looked at Xu Qiansu, and said calmly: "Let's go."
Xu Qiansu nodded lightly, "It's really reliable."
Cattleya withdrew her gaze, took Xu Qiansu to fly in one direction, and said casually: "If you really think so, then leave Mary behind and follow me after you get back, so that you can live safely and easily like a rice worm." End of life."
Xu Qiansu smiled and didn't say much.
Cattleya didn't speak any more. Traveling through the back of the world is not an easy task. She needs to prevent the turbulence of time and space at all times, and spend most of her mind to cover up the breath of the magical stone...Giratina, it's best not to touch it. Otherwise, it is inevitable to encounter variables.
Xu Qiansu naturally understood this, so he didn't say any more, but silently spread the power of the waveguide, and was always vigilant.
He's not a superpower, so that's all he can do... Speaking of which, Xu Qiansu hasn't done anything worth mentioning since he came to the Xicui area. It seems that Cattleya has done everything alone.
In a trance, countless bubbles swept towards the two of them.
But neither Xu Qiansu nor Cattleya panicked.
I saw that the bubble moved away consciously the moment it approached the two of them, keeping a distance not far from the two of them, but the two of them just couldn't touch their distance.
Looking carefully, I saw a series of pictures on the bubble.
It's not a reflection of the two... it's a picture that really looks like a film.
This is the shadow of the world, and the pictures in it are all things that happened in this world, but once you touch these bubbles, there will be certain fluctuations in this world. Not many humans have entered.
Xu Qiansu looked at these bubbles, and the pictures on them... were Xu Qiansu's experiences in this world.
When I came to this world for the first time, I climbed out of the snow and met Lalu Lasi who was full of vigilance at the time.
Cui Xue Festival in Cui Xue Town.
The emerald light of the little marsupial.
A poacher who died in a dark alley.
Skiing with Miss Mary.
Standing on the stone bridge, I looked at Cattleya who came by boat.
Snow Fairy's home letter.
...
"So that's how it is. You have only been in this world for about four months... I thought you had lived in this world for more than ten years." At this moment, Cattleya suddenly spoke.
It seems that what Xu Qiansu can see, she can also see.
Xu Qiansu thought that everyone could only see their own experiences...
He was somewhat curious about Cattleya's experience, but just as he was about to turn his head to look at the bubble on Cattleya's side, he turned his gaze away...and didn't look at anything.
Sensing Xu Qiansu's movements, Cattleya couldn't help but relax a little.
Xu Qiansu smiled and said, "Yes, it's only been less than four months, but what happened in it seems to me that four years have passed."
"This kind of talk is too old-fashioned, let's say something novel." Cattleya glanced at Xu Qiansu and said bluntly.
Now that the modern age is getting closer and closer, even Cattleya can't help but relax a bit.
Xu Qiansu shook her head lightly, but she pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then suddenly said: "... Cattleya, go back and bring my Pokémon with you."
Cattleya was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xu Qiansu.
Just now she was concentrating on guarding against the danger behind the world, but she ignored Xu Qiansu. Looking at him now, she saw that his other hand was tightly holding a high-grade ball, but even so, the high-grade ball could not help but lighten Trembling, obviously trying to break free from Xu Qiansu's palm.
Soraya's Poké Ball.
"I thought it would be like this at least if we went back to the modern age. I didn't expect that the 'modern age' would be so against Soraya in the back of the world." The corner of Xu Qiansu's mouth curled up. It should be a wry smile, but he didn't.
Soraya can't go back to modern times, so Cattleya naturally knows... She already knew it.
But she never told Xu Qiansu, because once she did, it would only increase her troubles... If she can't take it back, she can't take it back, unless Xu Qiansu seeks the help of Arceus, but the price of dealing with the gods is too high... Cattleya would never allow Xu Qiansu to have any contact with Arceus.
Cattleya didn't say anything, but he also had the idea of making Xu Qiansu retreat, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to go back to modern times with Cattleya so easily.
At this moment, if Xu Qiansu lets go, Sorolla will definitely be sent directly to the frame in the Xicui area...or maybe lost in the back of the world, no one knows for sure.
"Zoroya doesn't belong to modern times at all... How do you know that she doesn't want to stay in her hometown, but accompany you to a strange era?" Cattleya narrowed her almond eyes, she seemed to want to use a threatening tone, But in the end, he just said slowly in a calm tone: "I will let Sorolla return to the Xicui area safely, you just need to let go."
This is the truth, Cattleya does have a way.
If she can't do it, it's impossible for Sorolla to enter the back of the world, otherwise she will undoubtedly kill Sorolla herself.
She doesn't care about Soraya.
But she cared about Xu Qiansu.
Xu Qiansu cherished his Pokémon very much, and Cattleya knew that if there was no special reason, he would never give up Soraya anyway.
But he has to give up Sorolla.
This is also the reason why Cattleya did not tell Xu Qiansu, and this is also her plan.
Because at this moment, it is a special reason.
As long as you are a normal person, you will know what is the right choice.
Let go, and then bring Xanadu, Liuwei and Cattleya back to the modern age safely... How come to Xicui, how to return to the modern age.
"There are nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in life... Isn't this a sentence in your hometown? If Zoroya can't go back, she won't go back. Even if you go back to Xicui with her, so what? How long can she live, you How long can you live?" Cattleya's tone was sharp, every word was heartbreaking, and what she said was completely correct.
"Can you guarantee that you will be able to get Arceus' help? What's more, in modern times, don't you miss it? Where's Mary? Where's Del? You'll never see each other again in this life? One side is Zoroya, the other side is Mary, Dale, everything you are familiar with...you should understand how to choose."
Cattleya didn't give Xu Qiansu a chance to refute at all, one sentence after another.
She had thought about these words a long time ago, just for this moment.
In fact, Xu Qiansu didn't even intend to refute. What Cattleya said was completely correct.
To seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, this is the truth that Pokémon understands.
Pokémon all know how to run away from the strange space-time vortex. Xu Qiansu understands how rare the opportunity to go back to modern times is now.
"Besides, what did Soroya do for you? Nothing happened between you, nothing has been experienced... She sent you a tree fruit all the way, and what happened after that?" Cattleya looked Looking at Xu Qiansu, she continued: "The relationship between her and you is far inferior to that between you and Xanadu, the little marsupial, six tails, rattan snake, Mary, etc."
"So let go, there is no point in hesitating right now..." As she spoke, Cattleya thought of the dream that Cresselia had made her have.
In that beautiful dream, Xu Qiansu gave up Sorolla. Although she was lost, sad, and reluctant, she finally gave up.
In such a situation, with such words, Cattleya believed that Xu Qiansu would make a wise choice.
As long as Xu Qiansu lets go, he will return to the modern age safely.
In modern times, Zhulan is also there... Cattleya will find a way to solve the fate laid down by Kyurem.
But at this moment, it is better to go back first.
So far, everything is in Cattleya's plan, except that the change of the space-time vortex leads to the opening of the gate of time-space ahead of time, and the accidental acquisition of the magical stone tablet.
Except that Xu Qiansu would lose Zoroya, there was no loss.
Cattleya is smart, powerful, reliable, and thoughtful. Xu Qiansu was indeed led by her step by step... But there was one point that Cattleya ignored.
That is, what kind of person Xu Qiansu is.
In this situation, what choice will he make?
Cattleya looked at Xu Qiansu, and couldn't help but startled. Xu Qiansu's brows were furrowed. He could naturally think of what Cattleya could think of... That's why he hesitated so much.
It was the first time Cattleya saw such an expression on Xu Qiansu's face... Yes, Xu Qiansu is also a human being, he would hesitate and hesitate.
But Xu Qiansu will eventually make a choice.
He looked at Cattleya and said in a low voice: "Cattleya, please help me one more time, and let me go back to Xicui with Sorolla... At that time, whether I can go back to modern times depends on me, and I can't complain Anyone... If we can meet each other in this world in the end, I will definitely make a grass knot and repay your person..."
"You must be a lunatic!" Cattleya's soft and lazy voice could not help but be a little sharp, interrupting Xu Qiansu's words, "What's the point!?"
"It's meaningless, but many things in the world are meaningless." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly, his expression had returned to calm at this moment.
He slowly said: "Zoroya is different from all my cubs...I haven't done anything for her yet..."
"...She doesn't know anything, I can't just throw one of her Pokémon in Xicui and ignore it."
I haven't done anything for her yet.
Yes, this is the biggest difference between Xu Qiansu and ninety-nine percent of the trainers in this world.
Cattleya couldn't help biting her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, her chest heaved for a while, but she didn't know what to say.
After a while, she asked in a low voice: "If the person standing in front of you at this moment is Mary, and she asks you to give up Soraya, will you give up?"
Xu Qiansu was slightly taken aback. He, who always deliberately distanced himself from Cattleya, stretched out his hand at this moment, gently pinched Cattleya's pretty face, smiled, and said, "Why do you think we quarreled in the first place?"
Cattleya looked into Xu Qiansu's eyes, and suddenly remembered the fate that Kyurem had laid down at the beginning, and then, she understood...
Kyurem will not come to kill Xu Qiansu, and no one will come to kill Xu Qiansu... Everything is Xu Qiansu's own choice.
Everything was doomed from the moment Cattleya met Xu Qiansu and decided to let him die instead of Zhulan.
He chose to separate from Cattleya at this moment, and returned to Xicui alone.
Traveling through the back of the world is by no means an easy task. At this moment, Cattleya has no spare energy to bring the two back the same way.
The two will be separated by thousands of years... Is this what Kyurem said at the beginning, "Cattleya will lose her important things and her happiness?" '
Will Cattleya lose her happiness after losing Xu Qiansu?
With a thought, she unlocked the auto-suggestion, and then came to the answer... Yes.
But Cattleya is Cattleya, and she is by no means a woman who would succumb to Kyurem's fate.
She suddenly said, "Don't you still have a platinum pendant? Put your spiritual power into it."
"Huh? I'm not a superpower, I can't use my spirit..."
Xu Qiansu's words were blocked... Cattleya leaned forward and kissed his lips suddenly.
"I have a way..." After an unknown amount of time, Cattleya and Xu Qiansu moved a little further away, exhaling like a rand.
After the words fell, Cattleya's pale pink dress...disappeared suddenly, revealing her smooth skin as white as suet.
Xu Qiansu's breathing couldn't help but be a little heavy. The two of them were very close, breathing the air that each other had breathed.
He whispered, "As early as that night, I said that you can't commit yourself to someone just because of this kind of thing... You can't make the same mistakes as that princess, you should have your own choice..."
"How do you know that I don't want to?" Cattleya asked back with a flash of fascination in her eyes, then leaned forward and kissed Xu Qiansu again.
"The seven-day agreement, I have already completed it... You are my Pokémon, so you will be at my disposal..."
Xu Qiansu met Cattleya's blue eyes, and finally hugged her slender waist...
When did Cattleya fall in love with Xu Qiansu?
Is it autosuggestion?
Or was it the day and night relationship between the two of them in the past half month?
Or just now?
Actually it's not
Countless brilliant bubbles envelop the two of them.
There is a scene on it... that is the scene when Cattleya came to Xi Cui for the first time.
She was unconscious and very weak. Xu Qiansu was tired all day, but he still sat cross-legged beside her and watched her all night...
