Gate of the Cross

Chapter 380 Your Past

"The stone of precepts, the water of disaster, and the branch of truth have been found. Now all the catalysts have been collected. Now the saint should promise to see us, right?"

Misaka Mikoto stretched out her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead and said.

"Well, I think so."

Xinjie didn't expect that so many changes would happen on the way to meet Etin.

Things have to start when Xinjie left Minokea Village. After he and Misaka Mikoto got the recognition of the silent dragon Noli, they left for Lektar.

Although the journey is far away, for the powerful combination of the two of them, the demon clan on the road is not their opponent at all, but when the two really arrived at Recktal and asked a large circle, they learned that if they want to see Aitin, they must first go to the Temple of the Cape and get the blessing of the saint.

It is not easy to see the saint. It is necessary to collect three objects called catalysts by the villagers. After inquired with the insiders in Lektar Village, they learned that these three objects are: the stone of commandment, the water of disaster and the branch of truth.

In order to find these three things, Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka almost ran all over Kurux Island and took a full week to find them.

"You have collected catalysts, and the saint will be happy to give you divination. Have you been psychologically prepared?

In the reception of the Temple of the Cape, a saint greeted them and asked after carefully examining the objects they were carrying.

"Yes."

After hearing Xinjie's affirmative answer, the saint's guard nodded, "Then go to the underground temple and follow me."

Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka looked at each other and followed the saint to the ground.

The Temple of the Cape is located in the easternmost part of Kurux Island, covering a vast area and not far from the village of Minokea. Xinjie and Misaka Mikoto also heard of the famous buildings on this island when they went to Lektar Village before, but they did not expect that the saint and the blind dragon Adin were all here.

The underground area of the Temple of the Cape is also vast. Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka followed the saint's guard for a long time and came to a rather unique hut. She stopped and turned to the two and said:

"The saint is waiting for you, please go there quickly. It's really an honor for you to divination the first time we met.

Looking at the girl's pious appearance, Xinjie did not say anything, and having faith is not a bad thing.

Opening the door, Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka walked in at the same time.

"Welcome, I'm Saint Maha."

A girl who didn't look very old stood up after seeing Xinjie and Misaka Mikoto for the first time and said politely.

After saying this, without waiting for Xinjie to reply, she went straight to him and stared at his face carefully, as if to imprint his appearance in her mind.

Seeing that Xinjie was stared at by such a beautiful girl, even if the other party's identity was a saint, Misaka Mikoto was a little unhappy, "What are you looking at?"

"...My prediction will never go wrong. The future of this world... has happened in the past, and with the development of the established future, it is the fate of all living things in this world.

Hearing Mikoto Misaka's words, the saint withdrew her eyes and spoke slowly.

When Xinjie heard her words, his heart moved. It seemed that this saint was indeed not simple. It was reasonable that only Karen, the goddess of the future, knew about this matter, but the other party could also know about it through divination, which had already illustrated the problem.

Mikoto Misaka tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about? Make it more clear."

As if she didn't hear Mikoto Misaka's words, the saint continued to say to Xinjie: "...But I don't know why, in this time and space, the future begins to waver. The reason should be that it should be because of the legendary brave man in a different world. Are you the 'opener'?"

Mikoto Misaka looked at Xinjie in surprise. Is his identity actually the legendary "opener" that can save the world? When she just left the volcano, she had heard from the Silver Knights that an opener appeared on this continent. Now when she looks at Xinjie, he does not deny it.

"You came here to find a way to return to a different world, right? Unfortunately... no matter how many times you come here, you can't go back to a different world and die in despair.

"Wait, what the hell are you talking about!"

Misaka Mikoto felt more and more strange when she heard it. Why does the saint feel that something is wrong?

When she was about to ask clearly, the saint's change shocked her:

"No! Who the hell are you? Have the same face and posture. But I've never seen you before. It's terrible!' 'Opener', the door you open is not just the door sealed by the god Libelius.

"Jay, what on earth is she talking about?"

This time, even Ashaf can't calm down. After all, it can make the saint who has always been famous for her wisdom so nervous that it is enough to see the specialness of Xinjie.

"Give me the catalyst, I want to see your future! Even if you lose all my strength!"

The saint said in a firm and unquestionable tone.

Without hesitation, Xinjie gave her three things: the stone of commandment, the water of disaster, and the branch of truth.

"Xinjie!"

Seeing Xinjie's move, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help saying.

"It doesn't matter, don't worry."

Xinjie smiled at her and then said righteously, "After all... I also want to know my future."

The reason for saying this is that Karen once told Xinjie that even if the world has a past, there is no future, but if her future still exists, does it mean that the world still has hope to be saved? As said in countless dog-blooded series: "I think I can still save it."

"Then, let's begin!"

The saint who received the three catalysts closed her eyes. In just a moment, Mikoto Misaka was forced to retreat a few steps by the strong breath from her body. When she reacted, she found that Xinjie, who had stood beside her, had disappeared.

"What did you do to him!"

Misaka Mikoto suddenly rushed up, and the hair began to shine with white lightning.

"Just let him see himself clearly, please don't disturb me, girl, otherwise he will stay in the gap between time and space and can't come back."

Saint Maha said lightly.

"You..."

Although Mikoto Misaka is anxious, she is also afraid that if Xinjie can't come back because of her recklessness, she will never forgive herself.

"Where is this?"

Xinjie looked around with some surprise. He found himself in a wooden house. Standing not far away was a man and a woman with bright red hair. When he turned his face, Xinjie was surprised to find that he looked almost exactly like him.

Looking down at himself again, Xinjie didn't expect that his body was just a * look.

"Is this... my past? Is that man...father?"

Xinjie tried to call Ashaf in his heart, but he couldn't get her response. He just quietly looked at the man who was likely to be his father, because he found that even if he wanted to speak, it was just a baby's cry.

"Wife, it seems that it's time to make it clear to you. Now the oppression of the descendants of the Elkadia Empire has become more and more serious. If you are caught, you... and our newborn children will be killed. I heard that now you can go to the Black Palace to take the Cave of Time and Space to go to a different world, but many people died miserably when they entered..."

"It seems that this place is really my past, and they are indeed my parents."

Xinjie looked at the strange man and woman in front of him. This was the first time he really saw his biological parents. Just as he was thinking about how to identify himself with them, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

"Escape! Don't leave me alone and run away!!! This child...it's up to you...go to the black palace...please live...must...new Jie...live..."

The bright red blood blocked Xinjie's sight. He could only feel himself in a woman's arms, running and running with her...

"Father."

Xinjie tried his best to call out these two words, but only felt heartbreaking pain. Although he knew that all this was just an illusion, the sense of realism made him unwilling to recall it.

"What did we do! Why slaughter the people of Elkadia? ...This is not the time to cry. If you don't leave, you won't be able to do it." The woman holding Xinjie said to herself that Xinjie could feel the grief in her heart and ran away step by step, "But where can we go?" Wherever they go, the descendants of the empire will be slaughtered. There is no place for us to live in this world..."

The scene in front of him changed again. This time, Xinjie saw a huge palace and... transmission stone.

Yes, just like he has just come to this world and has seen it between summons.

Full of devastation, Xinjie doesn't know how many battles have taken here to create such a scene. In his small eyes, he only saw countless people running one after another, and... the soldiers wearing the military uniform of Albanya and chasing these people without any emotion on their faces.

The woman holding Xinjie finally couldn't run. When she was only a few steps away from the teleportation stone, the soldiers with swords caught up with her, and there was no emotion in her indifferent eyes.

At this time, Xinjie was surprised to find that her mother was no longer planning to run away. She gently put Xinjie out of her arms, regardless of whether he could understand it or not, with words that Xinjie had never heard in his life in a gentle tone that Xinjie had never heard in his life.
