Ch18 - Goodbyes (1/2)
At the same time, the sea water level outside the lighthouse was constantly rising. All the lamprey-like sea monsters had gathered around and were entwining the lighthouse with their tentacles as they began climbing up.

The books on the shelves were getting more and more restless; they had jumped out on several occasions to attack the three of them. General quickened his pace and leaped off the banister. Yu Hao began to run as he chased after them from behind.
“Will there be a gatekeeper?” Yu Hao remembered that the gatekeeper of his palace was the person he had a secret crush on. A character who would guard one’s inner darkness and fear…for Shi Ni, her gatekeeper might be her mother?
When they arrived at the top floor, General put Shi Ni down and said, “It’s best if you don’t……”
The top floor was a loft. All around them were blurred, flashing images that floated in mid-air, and they looked like photos from a memory as they revolved around them.

“What are these?” Yu Hao wondered.
General and Yu Hao both held their weapons at the ready, prepared for battle, but the attic was empty. The two of them looked around before General suddenly reacted, “Take this chance now and go!”
Within an instant, black flames began to swirl around them. A huge open platform appeared at the top of the lighthouse, and in the centre of the platform laid a single office swivel chair. Shi Ni’s father, Shi Liang, was sitting on it, and he was holding a tattered bear doll in his hands. The black flames that surrounded him transformed into an energy that rose into the air to form a giant demonic eye.
The demonic eye drooped slightly and looked at the three of them. There was a symbol enshrouded in a mass of black air in the middle of the demonic eye.
Totem!
General waved his Jingubang while Yu Hao pulled his hands apart and his staff split into two knives.
“Nini, you’re here.” Shi Liang’s hair fell and he had an obscene smile on his face, “Let Daddy take a look? Why are you always hiding at the back?”

Shi Ni stood behind Yu Hao and General as she wheezed harshly.
The sea monsters rose up from around the lighthouse and waved their tentacles. The demonic eye turned around and emitted a ray of light that enveloped the entire platform.
Yu Hao and General pointed their weapons at Shi Liang simultaneously as they shouted, “You’re finished now!”
General, “We’ve already called the police!”

Yu Hao, “It’ll be tomorrow at the latest! Then you’ll be going to jail!”
Shi Ni’s eyes suddenly widened as she remembered. And the instant she remembered, the dark sky burst forth with millions of thunderstorms that whirled towards the lighthouse and struck it head-on!
“You’re finished——!” Shi Ni released all of the anger that she had been suppressing in her dreamscape as she shouted, “You can’t hurt me anymore! You beast——!”

The lightning of judgement exploded towards them and instantly electrocuted all of the sea monsters that were entrenched on the lighthouse, causing them to fall off!
Shi Liang’s eyes suddenly widened and he roared, “Impossible!”
Yu Hao never could have expected that after Shi Ni realised that her father was about to be brought to justice in her dreamscape, she would unleash such power. He heard General shout, “Let’s go!”
The two of them rushed forward at the same time. Shi Liang raised his hand and the demonic eye released a beam of light that swept towards the two of them. Yu Hao’s wings fluttered open, he suddenly grabbed General from behind and with one turn, he had flown high up into the sky. The thunderstorm that Shi Ni had released suddenly disappeared.
Shi Liang’s demonic eye aimed its glaring light at Shi Ni, and the sound of its sneers shook the sky.
“I know everything you do; your each and every move is under Daddy’s watchful eye.”
Shi Ni suddenly screamed; the thunderstorm that had filled the sky vanished without a trace. Shi Liang once again regained control of the conscious world.

Yu Hao, “Shi Ni!”
General, “She can hold on! She has an amulet! Avoid the beam and throw me down!”
Under the illumination of the demonic eye, Shi Ni’s body was beginning to freeze, but just as the ice was about to spread throughout her body, a red halo suddenly appeared around her wrist. Immediately afterwards, the halo released a sound wave that shattered the ice into pieces!
“He’s afraid of fire!” Yu Hao suddenly remembered their conversation that day.

General chuckled and swept his Jingubang; the tip of his rod burst into blazing flames and he shouted, “Encircle him!”

“Go!”
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Yu Hao let go of General. While he was in midair, General swung his Jingubang down like he was splitting a mountain and the fiery blaze that it had set off pierced straight through Shi Liang with a loud explosion, setting him on fire.
Yu Hao and General landed on the ground. The two men rolled over on the ground before they stood up, positioning themselves to protect Shi Ni who was standing in the middle as they formed a circle around her. Within the circle of fire, Shi Liang struggled and released a reluctant roar.
“It’s over.” Yu Hao observed Shi Liang who was surrounded by the flames. Shi Liang tumbled around on the ground and climbed up. The demonic eye above suddenly emitted a mass of black smoke that began to converge towards Shi Liang. The demonic eye disappeared, and the totem took its place!
“Seize the totem!” General shouted, “I’ll deal with him!”
Within the circle of fire, a giant mutant sea monster sprang up into the sky.All of its tentacles swung toward Shi Ni and wrapped around her. Shi Ni let out a loud cry; General turned around and waved his Jingubang, then he rushed forward to attract its attention.
Yu Hao took this opportunity to fly up into the sky. He swung both of his knives outwards as he circled in the air and ruthlessly hacked down with all his strength — he cut off all the tentacles that were entangled around Shi Ni with this one move!
The totem gradually descended. Yu Hao rolled over on the ground; more tentacles curled toward them. Yu Hao pushed Shi Ni away and pointed at the totem in the air as he shouted, “Grab it!”

Shi Ni staggered to her feet. But it was as if the totem had recognised the true owner of this dreamscape as it began to disintegrate into light particles that flowed toward Shi Ni — these particles gradually began building a bridge in the air. Yu Hao darted towards one side as he swept his two knives apart. A bright light burst forth from his body which attracted the attention of the mutant sea monster.
It had tens of millions of tentacles; within an instant they had all curled toward Yu Hao and formed a huge cage that blotted out the sky — but right at this moment, a loud whistle could be heard not too far away.
The huge monkey bit the pinched fingers between his lips in a whistling gesture and swept past Yu Hao to once again draw all the tentacles away. Next, he stepped onto a tentacle that had swung over and with two jumps, he leaped into the sky. Yu Hao suddenly fluttered his wings open and was about to fly forward to support him when the huge monkey shouted loudly in the air.
“Drop, dead——!”

The bright red flame released from the Jingubang instantly illuminated the entire conscious world that was enshrouded in darkness — like a fiery Milky Way that surged through the sky, it let out a huge roar within the darkness to light up the stars in this vast and boundless universe!
Oh God, he’s so handsome……Yu Hao was flying in the sky as he looked at that figure holding up his heavenly fire. The fire was akin to a meteorite that could set all the evil in this world on fire; in that instant, he felt like all his reason had been smashed into smithereens along with that fall!
General swung his first rod out; and the rod emitted a glaring light that ignited the sea monster.

The second rod! The earth trembled, and the mutant sea monster that looked like a mountain was flung up into the air.
The third rod!
General spun once in the air, then exerted a tremendous force to transfer the Jingubang onto his shoulder. The Jingubang suddenly turned into a gigantic iron pillar that General used to sweep the sea monster off the lighthouse’s platform!
The mutant sea monster had been burnt to a crisp in the air and its remains scattered everywhere. Its tentacles waved about and forcefully yanked General downwards.
“General——!”
General was gasping for breath after he got caught up in the tentacles, then he fell into the raging sea below the lighthouse. Yu Hao immediately bent forward and flew towards General.
General was panting with a triumphant smile on his face; his back faced the sea while his ankles were entwined by tentacles.

“Don’t……” General hadn’t even finished speaking when Yu Hao had already rushed into his arms and grabbed him forcefully; he flung his wings backwards at full speed, but the fall of the mutant sea monster was really too great — Yu Hao couldn’t resist its momentum as it dragged both of them into the deep, dark sea together!
Yu Hao felt a coldness envelop his entire body, yet he had no strength left to struggle. His wings disappeared and he couldn’t stop himself from falling into the darkness along with General. The bone-chilling cold overwhelmed him, and it began to blur his consciousness.
So this is the subconscious……it was as if all of Yu Hao’s thoughts had been forcibly taken away. His mind was in a state of chaos, and all he could see was General shouting at him anxiously as bubbles emerged from his mouth.
In that moment, the only thing he could feel was the heartbeat in General’s chest, as if there was still a blazing sun deep in his heart that was currently thumping nonstop to wake him up so that he wouldn’t completely lose consciousness.

Yu Hao and General were locked in an embrace as they continued to fall, yet the darkness that surrounded them suddenly turned clear. It changed from a pitch-black colour to a navy blue one, then light blue, dark green, and then the sea turned completely transparent.
A ray of light shot over from a distance.
Shi Ni stood on the lighthouse platform and raised her hand towards the totem; the totem miraculously transformed into silver light particles that looked like they could be interwoven into a Milky Way. They wrapped all around her body before turning into a glittering, gorgeous snow white princess dress.
