204: Chapter 92: The Most morable Smile 204: Chapter 92: The Most morable Smile Looking at the nearly complete Starry Eyes Array in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman’s emotions were hard to fully describe for a long ti.
Who would have thought that what was once a casual jest would one day beco reality?
In the anti, through his own extensive searching and strenuous depiction, he had finally reached this step today.
And taking this step ant the real establishnt of the Star Alliance.
At the sa ti, Zhang Xiaoman was very pleased to have t Lin Sisi, this young girl.
Only after observing on the spot did he realize that drawing the Enlightennt Array was many tis more difficult than he had initially imagined.
If she hadn’t been there, who knows how long it would have taken him to reach this step.
“All right!”
A crisp voice ca from beside him, Lin Sisi drew the last stroke, and the Enlightennt Array on the stone platform was complete.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the purple sand bowl filled with paint and found that the girl had used it all up without wasting a drop, her control ability truly noteworthy.
“Sisi, now we can start the Awakening,” he said.
He had the Star Guard take the tools from the girl’s hand and continued, “I need to collect a drop of your blood in a mont, drip it on the stone platform, and then you put your hand on it to complete the remaining Awakening steps…”
“By the way, it might hurt a bit during the process, it will probably take about a minute, you must hold on, you absolutely must not remove your hand.”
Lin Sisi turned her head to look at him, then at the Array before her, a determined expression appearing on her face.
“Don’t worry, Brother Xiao Man, I will definitely succeed!”
Zhang Xiaoman took a two-ter-long spear from the Star Guard and gently pricked Lin Sisi’s fingertip with the tip, causing a drop of crimson blood to fall.
These two Star Guards were just summoned by him, had not participated in any battle, and the spearhead had not touched any object as he had explicitly instructed, so there was no need to worry about disinfection.
The formula for the Enlightennt Array didn’t specify how much blood was needed, so Zhang Xiaoman had to guide Lin Sisi’s finger to the Array and gently press it to squeeze another drop of blood onto the stone platform.
Below, the Array, activated by the blood, suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman quickly said, “Sisi!
Quick!
Put your hand there!”
Lin Sisi did as she was told, placing her slender hand lightly in the center of the Array.
A more intense light burst forth, illuminating the space around them.
“Rember, do not let go!”
Zhang Xiaoman issued a reminder and took several steps back, moving away from the range of the Enlightennt Array’s circle of light.
Looking at Lin Sisi in the middle of the Array, from the mont she touched it, she felt a sting in the palm of her right hand.
Keeping in mind Zhang Xiaoman’s earlier advice, she dared not let go.
Then, as the light from the Enlightennt Array scattered wildly, she suddenly felt dizzy, as if everything around her was engulfed by a white light, and even the last sentence Zhang Xiaoman had shouted in her ear beca blurred.
Lin Sisi reached out with her left hand to rub her eyes, and suddenly found she seed to have shifted in ti and space to another place; her eyes, which had been blind for over a year, saw light once again.
Within the white light, the surrounding scenery slowly erged; it was surprisingly her childhood ho.
“Ah!
What’s happening?
Have I co back?
How can I see again…”
Lin Sisi looked around in astonishnt, the scene before her eyes was all too familiar, just as she rembered her ho had always been.
Not far away, within the white light, two figures erged, a man and a woman, both middle-aged, looking at Lin Sisi with deep affection.
“Sisi, you’ve won another scholarship at school today.
Daddy took the day off specially; let’s go rowing at Fat Lake Park,” one of them said.
“Yes, mommy also has the day off today.
It’s been a long ti since we’ve had an outing together as a family,” the other added.
The man and woman gestured for Lin Sisi to co over, their voices sounding as if from afar.
“Daddy…
Mommy…”
Seeing the two people in front of her, Lin Sisi’s longing surged out like a flood; tears almost instantly filled her eyes.
“Daddy, Mommy!
I’ve finally seen you again…
Am I dreaming…
Sob sob sob…”
The woman smiled and gestured to her again.
“Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?
Co on, mommy has just booked a ride-sharing car; let’s set off quickly.”
However, Lin Sisi’s expression suddenly froze at that mont, as a harrowing scene etched in her mind flashed across her thoughts.
“Fat Lake Park…
rowing…
ride-sharing car…
No, don’t!!”
The horror scene that had long been buried in the depths of her mory instantly surfaced.
The racing car that sped towards them, the sight of her parents lying in a pool of blood, the highway strewn with wreckage, each scene like a crimson flood, seed ready to swallow her.
“No, don’t go, Mommy, can’t we just not go today?
Let’s stay at ho!
I don’t want to go to Fat Lake Park anymore!”
But the man and woman kept on waving.
“Sisi, don’t you always want to go boating in Fat Lake Park…”
“Yeah, we finally got a chance, so of course we should go together…”
Hearing this, Lin Sisi showed an expression of anxiety and panic.
“No, don’t go!
I want to stay at ho, Mom and Dad, can’t we stay at ho, please?”
Not far away, after she spoke those words, the twoso suddenly let their hands drop, and the smiles on their faces gradually vanished.
They slowly turned around, and step by step, they began to walk toward the door, their familiar and dear voices also took on a hint of chanical lifelessness.
“Sisi, don’t dawdle…
co on…”
“Co on…”
“If you don’t co now, we’ll just have to leave without you…”
“We should be intact as a family…”
“Right, co quick…”
“If you don’t co, you’ll regret it later…”
“Don’t…
regret…
it…”
“…”
Lin Sisi, watching the two figures grow more distant, subconsciously wanted to chase after them to stop them.
But just as she was about to take a step, a voice suddenly ca from nearby; it seed like an auditory hallucination, incredibly vague.
“Sisi, no matter what, don’t let go!!”
“So familiar…
who is it…”
Lin Sisi stopped in her tracks, and then suddenly turned her gaze to her right hand, as though pressing down on sothing.
“It hurts…
what is under my hand?”
Just as she was about to lift her hand to look, that voice, seemingly real and illusory, reached her ears again.
“Sisi, no matter what you see, do not let go!!”
With the voice coming through once more, a flood of mories abruptly surged into her mind.
Sushi, weirdness, monsters, blind sketches, the grey world, the Seven-pointed Star Array…
Scenes of recent events flashed before her eyes, and she suddenly rembered the owner of the voice.
“Brother Xiao Man!?
Is it you…?”
As she spoke, she looked down at her right hand again.
“I…
I am awakening Dark Energy…
I, I can’t let go!”
As Lin Sisi’s words fell, beneath her right hand, the outline of a stone platform began to materialize, and the surrounding white light started to fade slowly.
In the distance, the two figures walked further away, their forms becoming fainter.
In the final monts, Lin Sisi thought she saw them both look back, revealing a smile that was most deeply ingrained in her mory.
“Sisi, we love you…”
As if she had read their lips, the tears on Lin Sisi’s face, not yet dried, burst forth once again.
The next instant, all the illusions disappeared.
And before her, the boundless darkness returned.
