"Me? I secretly came to the Demon Realm to attend the ceremony with my friends. I spent last night helping them calculate their fortunes for the year. I didn't go out at all."

After what happened last night, Gu Qin naturally went to the depths of the Primal Demon Realm to investigate, and what she found almost drove her crazy!

Deep in the forest, at the hot spring where the demonic embryos were conceived, all the embryos were damaged, and some were even depleted and invaded, turning into something neither demonic nor evil, which is now trying to hatch!

When Mingmei went to see that disgusting scene with Meishi, she almost threw up.

However, she also felt sorry for these unborn demon fetuses.

In response to this incident, Gu Qin was furious and launched a thorough investigation. Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui were taken away and interrogated separately overnight.

In particular, because Lu Gui clearly saw Xie Chen's face in the original demon realm, Xie Chen was thus trapped in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying in the demon realm that morning.

As expected.

However, the expression on his face when he was blocked at the door was one of utter surprise, as if he had no idea that he would be treated this way.

"Last night I had dinner at home with a friend, then we went to the demon's night market. Afterwards, I helped him and his relatives and friends calculate their future fortunes. I went to sleep very late... Is there anything wrong with that?"

Xie Chen's words did sound reasonable, but the demons wouldn't just listen to his side of the story.

However, the demons who invited Xie Chen and his friends all said similar things, and they were released only after Gu Qin personally interrogated them and determined that they had told the truth.

Mingmei didn't show any surprise when she found out about this later.

After all, she had confirmed last night that the insectoid was just someone with the same face as Xie Chen. Even if the real Xie Chen was found here, as long as his alibi was strong enough, it was only a matter of time before he was exonerated.

However, now that he's cleared his name, Lu Gui is in trouble.

After all, he identified Xie Chen, but Xie Chen was unharmed, so his identification was very problematic.

"I wasn't the only one at the time; Master Mingxiao's daughter also saw it!"

When Lu Gui heard that Xie Chen had an alibi, he was stunned. However, he was not the type to stick to his own opinion and argue with people about it. Instead, he quickly changed the subject to the fact that he had not lied either.

Who says that either he or Xie Chen is not telling the truth?

What if there's a misunderstanding and they're telling the truth?

"Hmm, he does look like Senior Brother Xie from Bu Tian Sect." Mingmei didn't hide it from Gu Qin. In Mingmei's impression, Xie Chen wasn't exactly a good person.

Even if he didn't do what happened last night, his presence here doesn't necessarily mean he has nothing to do with it.

[GuiGui, do you think Mu Chen used to have a personality like Xie Chen?]

When Gui Gui heard Ming Mei say this, she couldn't help but gasp again.

That's right, its host has forgotten that Mu Chen is already in the game.

[No, host, I feel I need to tell you something... (8,000 words omitted)]

As they spent more time in the game, the story between Mingmei and Muchen became more complex.

As a result, Gui Gui's daily routines and the time spent on them gradually became longer.

When Mingmei listened blankly to Guigui recount what had happened, her vacant and lifeless appearance caused everyone to worry.

“Meimei’s spacing out has been happening more and more often and for longer periods of time.” Mei Shi and Gu Qin stood in Mingmei’s blind spot. When Mei Shi brought this up, her delicate brows furrowed as she looked at Gu Qin and asked, “Tell me, were the things A-Ming and I did really domineering?”

"Hesitation is the greatest cruelty. Since you chose the last option... I think it's fine this way."

Outside the game, when she saw the conversation between "herself" and "Guqin", Mingmei raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Yan Hui next door, and muttered, "This character setting is not like me... I have never regretted it."

She has never regretted her decision to take Mingmei to a different world.

"After all, it's a game. After NPCs awaken their consciousness, their character settings are gradually improved based on the stories given to them. Isn't it normal that they are different from you?"

After saying that, Yan Hui glanced at Ming Yi, who had been looking at him since earlier. If the characters were exactly the same, Ming Yi might be worried that he had feelings for his wife.

“Yeah, I seem more aloof in the game.” Mingyi also had some complaints about the changes in his character in the game, while Yan Hui couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Please, all the memories in this game are extracted from Mu Chen's past and then reprocessed. Shouldn't you think about the image you leave on others based on your personalities in the game?"

...

Suddenly, Mu Chen, who was trapped in his sea of ​​consciousness in the game after Xie Chen broke his promise and took back his body, felt a chill run down his spine.

A bad feeling grew stronger.

"What are you doing?" Just as Mu Chen was about to ask Xie Chen what he was doing, Xie Chen preemptively gathered his consciousness in his sea of ​​consciousness and found the other person, asking, "Why were you shaking just now? Were you suddenly scared?"

"I'd like to ask you what you're doing? You haven't let me see what you're up to since last night. You don't really think you can completely suppress me like this, do you?"

"You can try," Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, a threatening look on his face. "I think it would be quite awkward for you to regain control of your body now, without knowing anything about it."

"So, what exactly are you preventing me from seeing?" Mu Chen's heart sank slightly at Xie Chen's confident and fearless demeanor.

Is this guy planning to find an opportunity to release the white-skinned chicken to take the blame for what he did earlier?

...

"This situation is just too bad..."

Gui Gui felt that if she were a human being, her throat would be burning right now.

After talking for so long, Mingmei just sat quietly and sighed softly, reflecting on her previous actions.

Gui Gui felt that the other party's opinion was too hasty.

Don't you have anything else to say?

"I've said a lot before, haven't I? Don't you get tired of hearing it?" Mingmei wasn't stupid just now. Guigui explained in detail how confident she was and how she vowed to do things every time, and then she changed the subject and said that she always failed.

When she repeats certain things, she always sounds listless and exhausted. How could she not know what's going on?

[Host, you're so considerate. But I feel like you're a salted fish whose edges have been worn down by life, indifferent to everything I say. You... aren't planning to give up later, are you?]

Mingmei: "..."

Oh, is it that obvious?
