Chapter 678 What is Life?
"You're spying on us?"
"No, he's a voyeur!" Xingyi immediately shouted.
Laigushi: "…………"
"My dear Miss Xing, have you misunderstood something? I don't have that kind of fetish," Lai Gu Shi said after a brief silence.
"You say you didn't spy, so how did you know? I haven't told anyone outside the Golden Clan about Mimi," Xing said, still looking at Lai Gushi with a perverted gaze.
“A little bit of technical application, isn’t that a very simple operation for a genius?” Lai Gushi said, shrugging.
star:"…………"
"So, why are you asking about Mimi?"
“My dear Miss Xing, are you really stupid or just pretending? I’ve been saying that the shadow of memory is everywhere, but its true form is as invisible as a ghost. And as soon as you arrived in Onpharos, you received a book from that creature. Didn’t you ever wonder why that mysterious creature was there?”
"Is she really the 'Mimi' you see? Or is she something else entirely? For example... the Xi Lian you're looking for?"
Lai Gushi spoke slowly, and Xing was silenced by Lai Gushi's words.
Mimi is indeed quite strange. It's pink and cute. Although it always talks to its invisible friend, Hoshi feels that the invisible friend seems to really exist.
However, the fact that Gu Shi mentioned Xi Lian gave Xing a glimpse into the matter. Could it be that the unseen, imaginary friend was actually Xi Lian? And that Mimi was sent by Xi Lian...?
Xingyue thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.
Although she already had this suspicion, Xing didn't intend to say anything more.
Xing: "So, you suspect that Mimi is Xilian?"
“That’s right. Although fate may change, some things will eventually come together. As long as the conditions are met, things will naturally fall into place,” Lai Gushi nodded.
"So, what are you planning to do by telling me all this? Find Xi Lian, who has transformed into Mimi, and kill her in advance? To prevent her from affecting your evil plans?" Xing squinted at Lai Gushi with ill intent.
“I already said, Miss Xing, I just want to see the true form of the memories. Besides, whether Xi Lian appears or not has no impact on my plans. The Iron Tomb is destined to be born, because it is an inevitable outcome of history…”
"Finally, and this is something I've repeatedly told the Golden Clan, that is... my goal has already been achieved. Even if Iron Tomb cannot be born smoothly, it will not affect me in any way. Compared to the fate of Onpharos, another great being interests me more," Rigus said again.
At this moment, Xing remembered again that Black Tower had said that Lai Gushi, no, it should be Zandal, wanted to communicate with Qi Fu, and he was looking for this opportunity.
“I don’t believe what you’re saying unless you stop the Iron Tomb Project. Then I might consider contacting my older brother to act as your guarantor,” Xing said, arms crossed.
"This might not be possible! The plan has already reached 99.9% completion. Its birth is even unaffected by the Eternal Return, and it's basically unstoppable. Even if I don't interfere, the Iron Tomb will hatch and be born on its own, and then complete its self-coronation..."
"To be honest, I haven't been involved in the Iron Tomb's incubation for a long time; I've just let it develop naturally. Besides, I'm currently engaged in an information war with the Black Tower."
“Here’s another suggestion for you. It’s useless to keep an eye on me. Instead of trying to stop me from killing the Iron Tomb, you should promote the birth of the Iron Tomb and then destroy it with supreme power,” Lai Gushi said slowly.
"Why not choose to nip it in the bud?" Xing frowned.
"Can a chick about to hatch be nipped in the bud? Besides, beneath that eggshell lies not a fragile chick, but a doomed sovereign capable of destroying the galaxy."
"The eggshell was already loose; it was just waiting for the final stress response, and it was almost there."

--------------
Perhaps due to Xing's slight lack of cooperation, shortly after giving his last suggestion on how to deal with the Iron Tomb, Lai Gu Shi said something that he had been serious from beginning to end, and then left.
Xing thought about what Gu Shi had said. Although she felt a little strange, she didn't really believe his final suggestion. How could they not nip the Iron Tomb in the bud?
So she ignored that suggestion, but she did take Lai Gu Shi's speculation about Mimi's identity to heart.
The matter of memory does indeed seem very important. Even the Black Swan and the video have mentioned that the people of the Memory Court are constantly invading Onpharos in search of something, and the window paper of Onpharos will be torn apart by the Memory People.
Therefore, the Titan of Time, which deals with memories, really needs to take this seriously.
However, before that, she still needs to talk to each of the Golden Descendants to strengthen their relationships.
And so, Xing set off.

Evening
It's still Onpharos
"So that's how it is. Lai Gushi suspects that I am Xi Lian, while you think that my imaginary friend is Xi Lian." After Qi Fu and Xi Lian went back and found Xing again, Xing immediately asked Xi Lian if she knew Xi Lian and also told her about Lai Gushi's guess.
However, when Xi Lian heard Xing suspect that Qi Fu was Xi Lian, she looked at Qi Fu and smiled. At the same time, Xi Lian was also glad that she had not revealed her true identity, otherwise Lai Gushi would definitely be able to confirm her identity.
Qi Fu was quite amused. Xing actually thought he was Xi Lian, so the next second, he transformed into Xi Lian's appearance.
"Hi, hi, hi, look here, I'm Xi Lian!" Qi Fu deliberately made a rabbit ear gesture and jumped twice in front of Xi Lian.
"Stop messing around! Change back now. I don't want my fantasy boyfriend to be a girl," Xi Lian rolled her eyes and emphasized the word "fantasy."
Xing was dumbfounded when she heard Xi Lian's words.
"Oh, a fantasy boyfriend? Is your friend a guy?"
"What, is that not allowed? Didn't I say before that I've been lonely for many years? Isn't it normal to want a boyfriend who can warm and cherish me?" Xi Lian said with a light laugh.
"No wonder you wanted to go out alone, so you went on a date. And who was that girl you were talking about?" Xing scratched his head.
“He transformed into the likeness of Xi Lian that you all speak of and swaggered around in front of me,” Xi Lian said again.
Xing: "Uh, it can even transform? You must be having a lot of fun with this fantasy boyfriend."
“Let’s not talk about that. Didn’t you say you went to find various Golden Descendants and cultivate relationships with them? How’s the progress?” Xi Lian asked again.
"Well, that went very smoothly, and they all gave the same answer..."
"Especially since Wan Di participated in a cooking competition and served as a judge, he doesn't see himself as just a bunch of data..."
"And he even asked me a question: What is life?"
"To be honest, Wan Di felt particularly intelligent back then," Xing said, his expression thoughtful.
