30 Days of Guardian
12 Oct 2019 19:1130. Favorite unanswered question (and what you want the answer to be)
I spent a few days pondering this on the backburner, as I sort of went up against some unanswered questions ("What is the Hallows' deal?") earlier in this meme. I actually had a bit of trouble coming up with an unanswered question! *g*
That said: the expedition to the surface that Wu Tian'en was part of and was led by mirror girl's dad. Why did almost all of them die immediately? Why did the expedition leader go all evil (and later kill Shen Xi)? How did Wu Xiaojun and mirror girl end up on the surface, and what happened to their mothers?
...as for what I want the answers to be, well, um. The wives sneaked out to Haixing to find out WTF was going on, had to bring the kids because there was no childcare available for them, found out what happened and split ways to find their respective husbands. Wu Tian'en's wife found him but came to some tragic end (idk, traffic accident? something that wouldn't get on Zhao Xinci's radar) so he became a single dad; the expedition leader's wife found him, but he'd gone evil and they spent a few years raising their daughter together before the pressure rose too much. Expedition leader's wife stashes the kid in a mirror and gets shot by Zhao Xinci, who may or may not realize the connection to expedition leader, and then expedition leader retaliates by taking Shen Xi hostage and poofing them both out of existence when Zhao Xinci's willing to sacrifice his wife for the sake of taking down one guy from Dixing. And the expedition leader went evil because he saw Haixing's plethora of everything compared to Dixing's squalor, found the Guardian Lantern, and was corrupted by the Hallows. This would also explain why the SID has the Lantern!
This is the end of my 30 Days of Guardian. I hope you've enjoyed it! The regular more irregular content will resume soonish, though a bunch of stuff has been dumped on my plate for the rest of October.
