Chapter 128 Real Name

The little firemen ran all over the place, crying, "Wuya wuya." Han Jiangxue used to find them annoying, but now they seemed to represent life and vitality.

Han Jiangxue silently watched Jiang Xiao resting on a meteorite in the distance, and said, "Little Pi."

Jiang Xiao seemed to be absorbing star power. In this Calamity Shadow Ruins, all the laws were the same as in a real other-dimensional space. Any star technique could be used, and star power could be absorbed.

Jiang Xiao: "Hmm?"

Han Jiangxue said softly, "Is there anything you want to say to me but haven't had the chance to?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue and said, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Han Jiangxue was silent for a long while, and said, "We don't know if the owner of this Calamity Shadow Ruins had an accident."

Jiang Xiao was immediately stunned.

"We've been here for a long time, and this space door has never been opened again. This owner should also be someone who experienced the Inferno Judgment Institute incident. Who knows what she went through." Han Jiangxue sighed softly.

She continued, "If she's still alive, there's no reason not to open the space door for so long, whether for fighting or for living... All her clothes and shoes are hanging in the closet. She seems to be an organized person, but she hasn't even tidied up this space yet."

"No," Jiang Xiao said, "Maybe she's just injured, or maybe her energy is being taken up by other things. If she's dead, this space would be gone."

Han Jiangxue didn't speak again.

Who could be sure of that?

Who could know if the space of an owner really disappeared after they died?

It was just that after that person died, no one could open it anymore.

Perhaps, this space's owner really encountered misfortune, and this space would forever remain here, never to be opened again.

Jiang Xiao stood up, walked to Han Jiangxue, knelt down on one knee, and put a hand on her shoulder, saying, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Han Jiangxue lowered her eyes and didn't speak.

Jiang Xiao leaned forward slightly and kissed her gently on the cheek.

Han Jiangxue was slightly startled, and her cheeks instantly turned red, but she didn't react as violently as last time.

Then she heard Jiang Xiao say softly, "To try to live, to live with all your might, that is the meaning of our existence."

Han Jiangxue was silent and nodded gently.

Jiang Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "But you reminded me, there is something I really want to tell you."

Han Jiangxue raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiao's smiling face, and her mood suddenly improved: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao said softly, "Call me Jiang Xiao from now on."

No matter what the outcome, coming to this world, perhaps I should leave my real name in your heart.

Han Jiangxue was a little puzzled: "Jiang Xiao? I heard Er Wei call you that before."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Jiang of the Yangtze River, Xiao of dawn."

Han Jiangxue then understood the characters and said, "Why are you changing your name?"

Jiang Xiao said softly, "I'm almost an adult, and the name Little Pi is suitable for children. It's settled then, you will call me Jiang Xiao from now on."

Han Jiangxue nodded silently: "Okay, Little Pi."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

At the same time,

In the southern suburbs of the Imperial Capital, a few stops away from the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, in an elegant residential area.

Inside an elegantly decorated house, a woman in her mid-thirties was leaning against the headboard, turning her head to stare at the heavy rain outside the window, watching the green trees swaying in the wind and rain.

She was Fang Xingyun, a practical combat instructor at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University.

She had experienced countless life-and-death situations, but her sentimental heart had remained the same.

Not numb to death, she had not been doing well these past few days. The determined faces of those who charged into the Inferno Judgment Institute without hesitation always appeared in her mind, never to return.

That night, she led and protected the students in sealing off the area around the school, and also waited for reinforcements from the military.

The Triumph Legion took over her work, but she didn't feel any relief.

As the Holy Ruins inside the Inferno Judgment Institute collapsed and the gate gradually closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Fang Xingyun clasped her hands together, her eyes looking through the inner circle that had been sealed off by the Triumph Legion, watching the scenes of soldiers escaping, their clothes tattered and covered in blood.

Every time someone came out, she would overlap that face with the soldier's face when they entered.

Unfortunately, when the Inferno Judgment Institute finally collapsed and the space door finally closed, she was short a full 29 people.

Not everyone becomes numb to life. There are still people in this world who don't forget their original intentions.

Fang Xingyun's heart was trembling. 29 soldiers, 29 fresh lives, disappeared along with the space door.

Wrapped in horsehide, died in a foreign land.

That may be the glory of a soldier, but it was not what Fang Xingyun wanted to see.

That night, she was in a daze. She and other teachers comforted the students, organized the students to evacuate, stabilized order, and sealed off the school.

Until dawn, she was summoned to the school leadership office, told about the situation on the scene, and wrote a detailed report with a slightly trembling hand.

The next day was a dark and chaotic day for Fang Xingyun.

In a depressed mood, she was in a half-dreaming and half-awake state, until she heard the relevant news broadcast on TV. She suddenly woke up, hurriedly got out of bed, and ran barefoot to the living room.

On TV, she saw the names and faces of the 29 soldiers.

Each face seemed to evoke her memory, and she finally matched everyone.

She thought she could get a good night's sleep, but the heroic faces of those people became clearer and clearer in her dreams.

In the dark night, she propped herself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and sat there all night.

It was dawn.

But the weather seemed to be against her, there was no sunshine, only dark clouds, only light rain and strong winds.

Suddenly, the woman leaning against the headboard came "alive". She gently patted her forehead, rubbed her messy hair, got up and began to change clothes. She knew that she would not be able to rest well today.

Unexpectedly, she changed into combat clothes, tied her messy shawl hair into a ponytail, put on a baseball cap, held an umbrella, and drove slowly away from the residential area while making a phone call.

She was not going to work, but drove all the way west, away from the Imperial Capital City.

The destination of this car was a small base standing in the wilderness outside the Imperial Capital City.

Here, a team of people were already welcoming Fang Xingyun's arrival.

They had already received the notice and knew what this teacher Fang Xingyun was here for. She was here to open the Calamity Shadow Ruins!

Why such a fanfare?

Because this Calamity Shadow Ruins was once opened close to the Inferno Judgment Institute. As expected, most of them should be meteorites.

But if there were any accidents,

There might be a very small number of Platinum-level God-level creatures mixed in it. The worst case scenario might be a few pairs of trolls, because only they would not hunt their own people.

If there were any other species, after staying in the Calamity Shadow Ruins for three days, like raising Gu, the strongest one would always be killed.

Even if there were really a few pairs of troll couples inside, who had been hungry for three days, and were constantly seeing each other in a hundred-square-meter space, they should have the heart to hunt.

They do have some intelligence, but in the end, they are still ferocious star beasts. If there is no cooperative hunting target, they may slaughter their own people.

No one wanted any accidents, so the soldiers were on full alert. They all knew the widely spread news recently, and knew how to treat the Inferno Judgment Institute creatures.

Among this large group of soldiers, there were several men and women in ordinary clothes, surrounded by an old man with white hair, but full of energy.

This group of people had a different temperament from the soldiers and looked like scholars.

Yes, although this place was heavily guarded by soldiers, it was not a military camp, but a star beast research institute.

After passing through layers of checkpoints, Fang Xingyun changed to a military vehicle and came to the open space in the center of the base.

When Fang Xingyun saw a group of people waiting for her, she hurriedly got out of the car, ignoring the rain falling on her body, and quickly came to the white-haired old man and said apologetically, "Director Wu, I'm so sorry to trouble you to greet me personally..."

Wu Kaixuan, the deputy director of the institute, said with a smile, "I heard that Teacher Fang is going to send valuable Inferno Judgment Institute star beasts, so I came to take a look. It's okay."

Fang Xingyun was a little embarrassed and said, "It's just possible. If there are no star beasts inside, Director Wu will be disappointed. I'm so sorry."

Wu Kaixuan: "Teacher Fang, you're being too serious. It's our honor that you thought of us in the first place. Over the years, you have contributed a lot of valuable living star beasts to us, which has made a huge contribution to our institute and the entire country. We should be thanking you."

Fang Xingyun was not in a good state, and no longer exchanged pleasantries. She nodded and smiled and said, "If you are ready, I will open the Calamity Shadow Ruins now."

Deputy Director Wu Kaixuan turned his head to look at the captain of the soldiers. After receiving an affirmative answer, he said, "Please trouble Teacher Fang."

A soldier walked over and led Fang Xingyun to the center of the open space.

The four special operations teams were ready.

Fang Xingyun nodded to the soldiers and opened the Calamity Shadow Ruins with one hand.

The soldiers, with various equipment, filed in, first ensuring that everything was resolved inside the space, and that the possible star beasts did not enter the earth to wreak havoc.

But when the soldiers went in, they were dumbfounded.

They brought various lighting star techniques and equipment, but found that this place had already been lit up, and the ground was full of little firemen...

They were crying, "Wuya wuya," like a group of crazy children.

The soldiers were certainly well-informed,

Wondering in their hearts, this is... the star technique of a Pyro Master Puppet?

Didn't Teacher Fang open the space door next to the Inferno Judgment Institute?

The Pyro Master Puppet is a creature from the Fire Source Mountains next door? Why did they switch stages?

Then, a soldier's pupils shrank slightly!

He actually saw two people who had appeared on the death list!

Champion student Han Jiangxue!? Champion student Jiang Xiao Pi!?

Everyone, including Fang Xingyun, waited patiently outside,

And a dozen seconds later,

Fang Xingyun suddenly covered her mouth, and her eyes instantly turned red with excitement.

She saw a cold and beautiful figure, wearing her windbreaker and shoes, walking out under the escort of soldiers.

Behind that proud girl, a boy also wrapped in a women's windbreaker walked out cautiously.

They... were not dead!?

They were still alive!?

Living in their own Calamity Shadow Ruins?

The whole world thought they were dead, but they were standing alive in front of her.

Fang Xingyun could imagine the tragic battles they had experienced when they escaped from the Inferno Judgment Institute, and the severe physical and mental trauma they had suffered...

But look at them now.

Although their faces were a little dirty, and the clothes they had changed into were wrinkled and dusty, their image was not good.

But their spirits were so full, and the eyes they looked at the world were so bright.

Obviously,

They were trying to survive tenaciously.

So, heroes don't die, do they?

So, those 29 soldiers who disappeared along with the space door may also be surviving tenaciously in a certain space, in a certain corner, right?

For many days, Fang Xingyun, whose emotions were extremely unstable, could not help but cover her red eyes at this moment, and whispered, "Thank you, thank you..."
