Chapter 194 The Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival (Part 5)
"It seems my guess was right."
After confirming that Dolly also had a similar sense of déjà vu, Al-Hysen gave his conclusion in a deep voice.
"Only those who have had contact with Mu Feng will experience a strong sense of déjà vu during today's Flower Goddess Festival."
A few minutes earlier, Farusan and Kavi, who had gone to the Church of Christ, returned to Lambad Tavern one after the other.
After some subtle questioning, it was found that no one else, whether tutor, student, or disciplinary officer, noticed anything unusual.
"Then... will Mu Feng be alright?"
"Don't look at me like that! I didn't... it's because... yes! I still owe him Mora!"
"Lord Dolly Sangmahabai is not the type to renege on a debt!"
But clearly, the girl's anxious and somewhat incoherent words were not as convincing as their content.
When people get too concerned, they lose their composure. Who would notice that the powerful and influential businessman, Mr. Sangge Mahabay, is actually just a little girl who is not even fifteen years old?
"Dolly, calm down."
Nilu reached out and put her arm around the girl's shoulder, gently comforting her.
Although the young girl's worries and anxieties were no less than the little girl's, she knew that panicking at this moment would not help, and losing her composure would only make things worse.
Nilu, Nilu, think about what Mufeng would do if he were here. Calm down and think of a solution!
"According to the Disciplinary Officer's report, Mu Feng has not appeared in Sumeru City today, and it is highly likely that he has already left the city."
"I will now return to the Disciplinary Office headquarters to continue investigating clues within the city. Please contact me immediately if there are any new developments."
Having said that, Senora lowered the hood of her fox-wolf headdress, grabbed the Crimson Sand Staff beside her, stood up nimbly, pushed open the tavern door, and stepped into the night outside.
A flash of lightning, and Seno's figure vanished without a trace in an instant.
“Alright, Dixia and I will go back to the Chamber of Commerce. The Huma family’s caravans are all over Mount Sumeru, we might make a discovery.”
Dina Zede then stood up, and the usually gentle and peaceful girl suddenly exuded the aura of a young lady, and together with Dixia beside her, she sped off towards the Humai Chamber of Commerce.
"Oh, miss, slow down!"
"I...I'll go too! I'll go and gather the caravan right now!"
Dolly, momentarily stunned, snapped out of her daze. She hurriedly got up, tripped over a chair in her haste, and then stumbled and ran outside, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Then let's split up."
“Xume City only has two gates, north and south. Kavi and I will exit the city through the north gate, and we will leave the south gate to you two.”
"Leave it to me, senior, without worry."
“Okay, Kavi and Elhesen must also be careful. Let’s set off now.”
Night had fallen, and the Lambad Tavern was empty. The wind blew through the oil lamps, and the candlelight hummed.
A faint sigh escaped, quickly dissipating into the night wind.
"Beep——"
……
The next day was the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.
"In other words, all of us, and only us, share the same sense of 'déjà vu.'"
"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and I suspect that it is closely related to Mu Feng's disappearance."
……
"Alright, I'll head back to the Disciplinary Headquarters now. Dina Zede, Desia, and Dolly, gather the caravan in charge."
"Leave the rest to us, let's leave the city."
……
"Beep—Intelligence output is stable, with slight fluctuations."
"Stable links are being rebuilt."
……
The next day was the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.
The next day was the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.
……
The next day was the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.
"Number four, that white jar!"
Picard, playing the role of the Flower Knight, scratched the back of his head, then opened the pottery jar with some skepticism.
So certain... all those earthenware jars are exactly the same; in fact, even he has forgotten which one is the Sunset Fruit flavor.
"Oh! It really is Sunset Fruit flavor! It seems that the Little Lucky Grass King is very kind to Miss Nel."
No, that's not how it works...
She already knew, that the jar contained...
It's Yalda candy with sunset fruit flavor.
Just like she knew that the slippers in the morning were 17 centimeters from the edge of the bed, tilted at an angle of 38 degrees.
And there is there, there is emptiness, endless emptiness.
Bubbles were rising in the void, and the bubbles were colorful.
The bubble popped, then rose again, floating in the air, flying in one direction.
Where...where exactly is that?!
Why, why did this happen?!
"Nilu, Nilu, Nilu! What's wrong? Don't scare us!"
The familiar voices gradually brought Nel back to her senses. She opened her eyes blankly and saw the worried and anxious faces of Dina Zede and Desia.
Dina Zede, and Desia...
Where is she...?
The girl stood up, clutching her aching forehead. She was surrounded by the familiar Zuber Theater, with spotlights shining on the stage in the distance, creating a dazzling halo.
Zubair Theatre... This is Zubair Theatre.
"By the way, the performance... Has the Great Sage come? How did the performance go?"
Upon hearing the girl's urgent question, Dina Zede and Dixia both lowered their heads and unconsciously began to avoid eye contact.
Finally, Dina Zede sighed, her expression filled with disappointment and helplessness.
"They just left...the show...was another failure."
At this point, the girl paused, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why did she say "again"? It was clearly the first time, but why didn't she realize it the moment she said it?
But the somewhat oblivious Dixia didn't care about any of that. The girl, leaning on her greatsword, took herself as the center and her ancestors for eighteen generations as the radius, and greeted each of the Great Sage's direct relatives in a unique desert-friendly language.
"Hmph, if it weren't for someone's sake, I would have taught that arrogant guy a lesson long ago..."
"Dixia".
The mercenary girl paused for a moment, looking at the light shining in Nilu's light blue eyes, and tilted her head in confusion.
What's wrong? Did I really sleep myself silly?
"What did you just say? Say it again."
Nilu's voice trembled the instant she woke up and heard Dixia's words.
Besides the familiar sense of déjà vu, she was finally going to grasp it, to figure out where that strange feeling came from.
She should have noticed this much earlier.
Dixia was confused, but she obediently repeated what she had just said.
"I mean, if it weren't for someone else's sake, I would definitely..."
She froze, repeatedly pondering her own words, a look of surprise and doubt appearing in her eyes.
She said it so naturally, and... that sentence...
She already said that yesterday.
Yes, yesterday.
The same scene, the same people, the same prohibitions, except that the scholars of the Academy were replaced by the Great Sage himself.
"Yes, it already happened yesterday..."
Dina Zede murmured, her expression blank.
So, this so-called "today"...
What exactly is it?
"Congratulations! You've already touched the tip of the iceberg of the truth."
