Fu Hua Memories (5)

Fu Hua chatted while strolling with Fuxi for a few minutes before the sun above their heads suddenly moved rapidly towards the west where the ocean was visible, thus creating a sunset.

"What happened?" Fu Hua was taken aback by this.

["It seems that time has been distorted, which makes time run faster. From what I can see from the data, it looks like several years have passed."]

Fu Hua was shocked to hear that. She was silent for a moment before asking, "How did this happen? "

["Hm… Weird, it should be because your memory has problems, but I don't see any weirdness in your brain waves. "]

Just when Fu Hua wanted to ask again, Fuxi suddenly said from behind her. "Be careful Jingwei… This place looks dangerous. "

Hearing that, Fu Hua quickly put on a wary expression while looking around the surroundings.

Empty, silent, there was nothing nearby but the sound of seagulls flying and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

A while later, Fuxi came to Fu Hua from behind and handed something to her, "You are great as usual Jingwei. Here, bury this thing right here." Fuxi pointed in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Fu Hua was confused because Fuxi spoke to her as if she had beaten something, but she did nothing.

Fu Hua didn't think much of it because Otto had previously said that her memory here had problems.

Fu Hua looked at the object given by Fuxi. "Isn't this the 'Sphere'…"

Then Otto's voice appeared in her mind with an excited tone, ["It's finally here! This must be the 'Sphere' we've been looking for. "]

Fuxi stared at the 'sphere' in Fu Hua's hand before explaining in a soft voice.

"Those are the terminals that house every technology from the previous era recorded into this little 'Sphere', this is our hope to destroy Honkai…"

Fuxi raised her head and looked at Fu Hua deeply, "But we can't leave the 'Sphere' to humans in this era… I don't need to mention the reason, because you know it."

Fu Hua explained, "To them, the knowledge contained within this 'Sphere' is simply too great. "

Fuxi nodded her head before saying, "When they see things beyond one's comprehension, it will give rise to a primitive emotion that has been engraved in humans for a long time, 'Fear'. "

Fuxi continued, "The fear of the unknown will lead them astray, and even fall into the abyss. After considering it, I've decided, I'll seal it all. But the seal won't last forever."

Fu Hua said with an emotional tone, "…I see, this is the reason why you are looking for a place that humans will go to far in the future. You wish to put this 'Sphere' in a place that can be accessed by advanced civilizations. "

Fuxi appreciated Fu Hua's words, "As expected from Jingwei, you can quickly understand it."

Fuxi then turned to look at the almost setting sun and said deeply, "One day when humanity can make use of this knowledge, the legacy we leave behind will definitely respond to their call. I'm sure that day will come... This is my duty, also my dream. "

Fu Hua, who heard that, then stared at the sunset with Fuxi for a moment before saying, "But before that day comes, we must protect this place from Honkai. "

Fu Hua then looked at Fuxi and said confidently, "So just leave it to me Fuxi-san. "

Fuxi was silent for a moment and closed her eyes before sighing.

She opened her eyes again and showed Fu Hua a Scroll. "This is the last terminal. Just in case, I recorded all the terminal seals on this scroll. "

Fuxi gave the scroll to Fu Hua and before actually giving it, she looked at Fu Hua and said in a serious tone.

"Remember Jingwei! We are just the pioneers of civilization. If humans can't rely on their own strength to arrive here through the test of history... Even if they already have the knowledge, they will still repeat our tragedy. "

"You need to patiently wait, wait, and wait until humans deserve to know. Maybe you will be alone for a long time… Sorry, you have to bear this yourself Jingwei."

Fu Hua could sense a feeling of concern from Fuxi's words. Fu Hua shook her head slowly and said confidently with a small smile.

"No need to apologize, Fuxi-san. This is my duty, as well as our vision. "

Fuxi put the scroll into Fu Hua's hand. "Take good care of this scroll, Jingwei…"

The surrounding scenery had turned into a blue empty space coupled with Fuxi's body slowly glowing blue before flying upwards and fading slowly.

["Hah! It turned out that everything went more smoothly than I expected! The next step is very easy! Record the number of rolls and start analyzing! "]

The fading Fuxi looked at Fu Hua with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, my friend… You'll be alone for the rest of this journey…"

Fu Hua looked at Fuxi with a sad and lost expression, "Fuxi-san… I should be the one apologizing to you…"

Fuxi's body finally disappeared completely and Fu Hua was teleported into an empty dark purple room.

Fu Hua was not like before, she just stood still in the room with her head down before asking in a low voice.

"Otto… Will I forget everything if I leave this place? "

["I'm sorry my friend, I'm not lying about this. "]

"I'm sorry… I lost the scrolls and even forgot where the 'Sphere' was…"

["…We can't go against the laws of nature. Memories fade after a thousand years, no matter how hard we try. Empty spaces will fill a sea of memories. But you're trying to keep their shards intact. ]

["We are allowed to arrive here. Don't blame yourself, you've done well so far."]

Otto's words pierced a deep memory that Fu Hua had erased on purpose for a long time.

{Flash back}

"Why are all these things happening…" Young Fu Hua knelt down at a red-haired woman with empty eyes.

The woman lay lifeless on a pile of frosty ice that pierced half of her body.

And in front of the woman, there is a man who is full of burn scars, white hair with sharp blue eyes, just staring at the woman's corpse in silence.

Suddenly someone ran past him, young Fu Hua only remembered his purple eyes shining with anger.

"***** You Bastard! Curse you! *&$&#_-#"

All kinds of insulting words came out of the purple-eyed man's mouth, but the white-haired man just stared at the purple-eyed man silently and wore a flat expression.

After a few minutes, the white-haired man cut off the purple-haired man's words with one sentence.

"She is Herrscher…"

The purple eyed man clenched his fists and punched the white haired man in the face.

The blow didn't do any harm to the white haired man, although it seemed that the attack was more of a mental attack, "Then why!? Was it because she turned into Herrscher that we were ordered to kill her? Is it because she's a Herrscher that we have to kill her!? What if Herrscher sided with the humans!? "

"Herrscher from the start would never side with humans." The white-haired man said with high confidence.

The purple-eyed man passed the white-haired man, and approached the red-haired woman's corpse.

He stared at the woman's corpse for a long time before lifting and carrying her in a princess fashion.

He passed the white-haired man and without looking back he said in a calm voice.

"This world is indeed unfair *****... Everyone I wanted to save all died in my arms... It was as if this was a natural law (Destiny). "

The purple-eyed man continued, "*****.... If one day I were to become Herrscher, would you kill me too...? "

The white-haired man said nothing, and the purple-eyed man didn't seem to expect an answer.

The purple-eyed man walked away without looking back.

The purple eyed man looked at the young Fu Hua with purple eyes filled with mud, though for Fu Hua she saw a radiance of intense determination from those muddy purple eyes.

(A/N: Mud here means despair, hatred, emptiness, sadness, and anger.)

"You are Hua, right? ****** talk about you a lot, come follow me, I want to give her a proper funeral. "

Fu Hua for the first time felt a feeling she had never felt before when she looked into those purple eyes filled with mud.

A feeling of 'hope' arose in her heart.

Fu Hua finally knew that there was someone who suffered more than herself, and was weaker than herself, but even so that person did not give up, the suffering that person felt he turned into a strength that became a motivation to keep going, even though sometimes it would become very painful.

The man helped Fu Hua to her feet slowly before walking past her.

"Ah! Ano... What's your name...? Fu Hua looked at the man's back.

The man paused and said, "My name?... My name is Kouro."

{Flashback End}

["Fu Hua! Fu Hua!! Are you alright? Fu Hua! "]

"Wh-what? Fu Hua snapped out of the memory and blinked quickly.

["Are you alright? Your brain waves fluctuated unstable. "]

"Ah! I'm... fine." Fu Hua rubbed her head while thinking about that memory earlier.

["Whatever it is as long as you're okay, let's quickly go to the next shard of memory. "]

"Yes!" Fu Hua then shook her head to focus on her thoughts.

She dashed forward quickly, strangely unlike before, there were no monsters in her way, so she could smoothly pass through this dark purple empty room, before a blinding light filled her vision.

Fu Hua opened her eyes again. She was now in the small hut where she had first come.

["We're back to surface memory. Hurry up and go back to the real world. "]

Fu Hua walked slowly out of the hut, before turning around and seeing the silhouettes of Nuwa and Fuxi.

"I want to tell everyone about you! So that everyone can like you too!…"

"Sorry, you have to carry this burden alone…"

Seeing the silhouette slowly disappearing, Fu Hua subconsciously muttered, "Fuxi-san… Nuwa-san…"

["I understand your feelings, but now is not the time to be nostalgic. "]

Fu Hua closed her eyes, and took a deep breath before letting it out, she opened her eyes and without looking back said.

"Goodbye… Fuxi-san, Nuwa-san… And Kanchou… Thank you for helping me. "

A purple eyed man stared at Fu Hua silently before smiling slightly. The man then faded slowly and disappeared completely.

Fu Hua's body was enveloped in a bright light before fading and disappearing.

On Schicksal HQ, Fu Hua slowly opened her eyes before feeling an intense headache. "W... What happened? I... "

"Thank you for your help, now rest my friend, you just woke up from your dream. "

A tear rolled down from Fu Hua's right eye, before a memory appeared in her mind.

Feeling all those memories coming back, Fu Hua subconsciously smiled.
