I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

The door suddenly opened, and as expected, Mebai Aldan saw the new universe in shock.

Well, as expected, there is only New Universe.

And if I remember correctly, this is a single room, right?

"Sister" was full of aura and seemed to be ready to kill everyone. Mejiro Aldan clearly conveyed a fact just by looking at her.

When you go out, shouldn't you be more restrained?

The new universe was silent, so silent that it was speechless, and then it retreated in defeat.

So when Gotham Carol finished his daily routine of reading with Ruby when he was bored, what did he see when he returned to his room to rest?

It was Aldan Mebai who was sitting on the bed, putting down his book and looking at him gently.

Uh...? Why is Aldan-san here?

It’s not that Sister Aldan is bad, but this is usually where the new universe is, right?

"That child should go back to her room today. She's still afraid to truly face her feelings, though I don't know what they are."

Alden Mejiro stood up, and it was at this time that Gotham Carol came to her senses and noticed that Alden Mejiro had already changed into her nightgown.

It seems that I have to go find New Universe alone tomorrow... According to Sister Aldan, something really bad must have happened in the past, or something that New Universe thinks is inappropriate and dare not say out loud, right?

We must ask clearly.

"Okay, let's go wash up first, Carol?"

"Okay, Aldan."

Gotham Carol nodded obediently and went to the cloakroom - these were all clothes that Brave Dancer had contacted the mall to have delivered directly to the place when he came back.

After changing and washing up in the cloakroom, she sat obediently next to Altan Mejiro. She was especially well-behaved at this moment facing the Gotham Anthem. Altan Mejiro did something he had wanted to do for a long time but had not done.

She held Gotham Carol in her arms and got into bed together.

"So, after coming back, my cheeks are still the same, but what's with the hair color?"

"Ah, this one, actually, it was black before it was transformed."

Mejiro Aldan's fingers penetrated into the hair, carefully feeling the touch. What the ode meant was... after the transformation to the original color is over, will the hair return to its original color?

If the hair is not well-behaved at all and it turns black after becoming the original character, it will provide an extra layer of disguise, right?

"This hair is not good at all."

"Huh? It's okay. It will be well behaved tomorrow morning."

Originally, Gotham Carol was ready to take the special pill provided by Ally Speed.

But since Altan Mejiro cares about such things, then... let's be a little bolder.

Her transformation into her true self is not complete yet. Even if her original color is restored, it won't turn completely silver.

Ok…

Anyway, let's just give it a try, okay?

Gotham Carol did not say such a thing. She planned to give Aldan Mejiro a surprise. Aldan was completely confused about this and did not understand what Gotham Carol meant for a while.

My hair will be well-behaved tomorrow morning? Does that mean it will turn black tomorrow morning? But isn't it already black now...? Uh, never mind. Since Song Ge said that, it must mean she's already thought about everything that might happen.

Aldan Mejiro has a very deep understanding of Gotham Carol. She knows that her silly sister would never do many things without thinking, so in this situation.

Since Songge thinks it’s okay, let’s take a look at it tomorrow morning.

Hmm... In essence, it's really just a blind trust in Gotham Carol's style, right? Why would Aldan Mejiro doubt his own sister?

She absolutely won't.

So, her answer was just to hug Gotham Carol's small body tightly. For the first time, the two sisters were so close to each other in the same bed that there was no distance between them.

"In that case, I'll see how well behaved I am tomorrow morning."

"Well...I shouldn't disappoint Sister Aldan, I promise."

Chapter 88, Our Promise.

"Are you saying that your transformation is like this, from black hair to silver hair, Carol?"

"That's right, that's right."

First Ruby couldn't believe her eyes.

I clearly saw Gotham Carol with long black hair before I went to bed yesterday. Why did this familiar person look different after I woke up?

Gotham Carol's hair is very long, almost reaching past her waist. It would be fine if this kind of hair was a solid color, but what if it had another color?

In fact, the first thing First Ruby did when she woke up in the morning was to wait for Gotham Carol to wake up at the stairs. When she put down her book and prepared to say hello, she saw the pony girl with black and silver hair, and she was so surprised that she was speechless for a moment.

Well—and then after Gotham Anthem explained it in detail, First Ruby put aside her doubts.

Since the ode says so, then that's the truth.

The First Ruby had no reason to doubt Gotham Carol. Rather, even if Gotham Carol turned into a silver-haired girl, she would look exactly like the legendary figure. But...

If that person is the real one, wouldn't that be a great thing for the First Ruby?

and.

First Ruby didn't know Bo Mu Liuge. She was the eldest daughter of a large family. To be honest, compared with some of the things she had faced, this kind of thing was not surprising at all.

Anyway, it was just a hair color, and there was no other additional change from the Gotham Carol she first knew.

The First Ruby's indifference made the originally enthusiastic Gotham Carol a little at a loss for a moment, while Aldan Mejiro, who had guessed all this behind the scenes, just smiled faintly.

After seeing Gotham Carol's messy and disorderly hair in the morning, Aldan Mebai clearly realized what it meant to have well-behaved hair.

Did it just turn back to its original color?

But looking at it this way, it can only be said that it has become partially obedient. After all, it has not completely turned into pure silver... It seems that the authenticization of Gotham Carol is a long journey.

Well, let's think about it, will the Carol grow taller after it's fully realized? Probably not, I can't imagine it at all.

Carol is the best now...

In short, this incident did not lead to any other accidents, and even the brave dancer did not show any reaction... She just showed an unfathomable smile.

Even Gotham Carol was keenly aware of the inexplicable and subtle look that Brave Dancer gave Aldan Mebai.

Uh, could it be that she called Sister Aldan away yesterday just to talk about something like this?

It’s hard to say for Gotham Carol, but she doesn’t admit it, she doesn’t want to admit it—I don’t owe you anything, Brave Dancer!

In comparison, New Universe, contrary to its usual practice, did not appear in front of Gotham Carol in the morning. Worried about this, Ma Niang walked around the remaining people and gently knocked on the door of the room next to hers.

However, what surprised Gotham Carol was that the new universe did not respond or open the door immediately.

This is too surprising.

Gotham Carol was confused. She couldn't figure out why for a moment. Logically speaking, it was quite rare for New Universe not to rest with her. Even if it was because of Sister Aldan, why was he unwilling to leave the room the next day?

It can't be because I was forced to return to my room yesterday.

Gotham Carol couldn't figure it out, but she knew she couldn't wait for things to change, so she ran over and asked Brave Dancer for the spare key to the room, then rushed in directly.

Then, although there were some guesses, the scene in the room was completely unexpected.

The weather had cleared up, and the bright sunshine outside should have been a beautiful sight, but the curtains in the room completely blocked out all the sunlight. There was no light on, and the only two sources of light were the bright colors seeping in from around the curtains and the door pushed open by Gotham Carol.

And in this dark atmosphere, Gotham Carol saw a new universe.

In other words, a new universe that is so completely unfamiliar that it is unbelievable.

The New Universe, who was full of courage yesterday to encourage Gotham Carol to be aware of Aldan's problem, now seemed like a different person. She curled up in the corner with her legs crossed, seeking any sense of security she could get.

But those eyes that were originally intelligent were now flashing with pain, guilt, self-blame and sadness.

Gotham Carol finds it hard to understand why the new universe would show such a scene. Did it think of something, or did it have a sad dream?

I can't find the reason. After all, nothing special happened yesterday. Uh, what is the reason that caused the new universe to become like this?

The last time the two met yesterday was after they returned to Yongwuzhe's home.

Thinking of this, Gotham Carol clearly made the sound of footsteps, and this movement finally awakened the new universe. From those tired eyes, Gotham Carol saw a look of mixed hope and fear.

He wanted her to come closer, didn't he? But what was he afraid of...what was he afraid of? Would the New Universe be afraid of her approaching?

No, absolutely not.

Gotham Carol sat down on the bedside. She gently grasped New Universe's hand, then pulled hard without question...

The new universe was resisting, or rather, she was trying to escape in fear, but...

However, what the new universe is afraid of should not be Gotham Carol, but things related to Gotham Carol, right?

"No escape, no resistance, new universe, don't resist."

For the first time, Gotham Carol made a request, and then he suddenly put his arms around her shoulders and pressed her in his arms.

The tender and narrow embrace would actually seem a little unreliable, but Gotham Carol is quite confident.

My own embrace is definitely warm enough.

That child still doesn't have the courage to face his true self. Although, I don't know what he is afraid to face.

Aldan's words became the key to solving the problem at this time, and Gotham Carol suddenly had an intuition.

What the new universe is afraid of is not itself, but...something related to itself, or rather, the past between the two of them?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed like this. The new universe always gives unconditionally, gives and gives, and keeps giving. There are countless parallel worlds, and countless repeated efforts. Generally speaking, facing such complicated repetitions, ordinary people - or people under normal circumstances - should have collapsed and given up long ago, right?

So what sustains this new universe? Courage? Determination? Or something else... perhaps, obsession?

Something must have happened between Gotham Carol and the new universe.

Or rather, "An Ode to Gotham."

Was it the very first reincarnation? In short, it shouldn't be a happy memory, otherwise the new universe wouldn't be showing this situation now.

Of course, Gotham Carol cannot see the past that does not exist in this world, but...

With his palm gently stroking New Universe's back, Gotham Carol raised his head lightly and breathed hot air into New Universe's drooping ear.

"Now, it's time to tell me about the past that you didn't tell me about?"

The new universe was shaking and trembling, and couldn't help but breathe faster, then subconsciously wrapped its arms around Gotham Carol's waist.

More importantly, she pressed her cheek against Gotham Carol's arms and refused to look at him, as if she was avoiding him.

This reaction just further confirmed Gotham Carol's guess.

I'm not willing to say it yet. Now, since that's the case, let's just continue waiting.

Gotham Carol had no intention of changing her tune. She sat quietly next to New Universe, not saying a word or making any reaction, just stroking the back of the person in her arms.

It's like facing Mejiro Castle. This is something I must know and understand. The New Universe has helped so much, so that's it.

I don't run away.

Time ticked by, but the arm around his waist tightened more and more, until Gotham Carol felt the movement of the person in his arms, and the next second the two of them looked at each other intently.

Gotham Carol could still see New Universe's helpless expression as he bit his lower lip, and she made a rare soft complaint.

"Such gentleness is too cunning."

"Then it's okay for me to be a bad guy for once, right? For your sake."

Even more cunning, really, I can't help but say this.

Xin Yuzhou closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. At this moment, she began to feel afraid again. However, despite this, she still had to speak out the truth that was weighing on her heart and told it to others for the first time.

What on earth is going on in this parallel world... How could something like this happen? I can't even think about it...

"Carol, do you still remember what I asked you to promise?"

"Let me think about it. It's that thing that made me never give up on myself, right? So, it turns out this thing is related to the new universe."

Gotham Carol certainly remembers the words that seemed incomprehensible at the time. Although it was possible to infer that "itself" would have such a branching possibility, but...it turns out that this matter is related to the new universe?

Gotham Carol thought it was because of the incident at Mejiro Castle.

"In the beginning, in the world where we first met... that kind of thing happened because of me."

New Universe took a deep breath and then told the factual truth.
