Chapter 132-131- It gives me a headache just thinking about it

The sun shone through the cracks in the ruins, painting golden tracks in the diffuse smoke and dust. Yvette got up from the ground, her expression still a little dazed.

What the hell is going on here...

She lifted up her black skirt that was falling a little, then looked at the loose coat that covered her palms and had cute sleeves, feeling as if she was still in a dream.

Could it be that I have been hit by the soul magic of the Soul Fire Saint and fallen into the world of illusion?

She couldn't help but pinch her face, feeling the pain, but also finding it unlikely. After all, with her spiritual strength, even if she was hallucinating, she couldn't possibly be unaware of it. And what kind of hallucination was this? It had no logic at all, and even a third-rate novel wouldn't dare write about it.

So Zero is really gone?

She said she wanted to sleep for a while, was it because she suddenly went berserk and exhausted her strength?

But why did I become smaller?

Is this a historical revision at a global level? Both Zeros were wrong to begin with, and now that one has disappeared, the other automatically becomes legitimate?

Also, why did Zero know that he was her? And what did she mean by a world that wasn't completely fake?

Is this not just a dream?

Countless questions were churning in her mind, and Yvette felt like her head was getting bigger. She sighed, picked up her skirt, and decided to leave here first and go to the meeting place to see how Liana and the others were doing.

…

As a cautious person, Yvette always paid attention to her magic power during the battle with the Soul Fire Saint, so at this moment, she still had a small amount of magic power left, which was originally used for escape and retreat, but now she can hurry on.

Maybe it was because the damage caused by Zero killed the relevant staff, but the effect of the no-fly zone had disappeared. She could now cast wind magic on herself, leaping through the city ruins as light as a swallow, and head straight for the designated location.

At this time, the abandoned steel plant has returned to its former tranquility.

The golden morning light sprinkled on the grass, making it look full of vitality, completely different from the terrifying scene before dawn with zombies running all over the ground.

Since Zero said he would be back soon, Liana and Firefly found a corner to stay in. When they saw Yvette approaching, Liana immediately jumped out and shouted, "Yvette! Yvette! Over here!"

She was very happy and breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that she must have been too sentimental before and actually thought that Yvette would never come back after she left. Now that she thought about it, it was really a bit embarrassing.

But when "Yvette" landed, she felt something was wrong. First, the other person's temperament was very strange, as quiet as a pool of autumn water, which was completely the opposite of the "Yvette" in her impression. Second, the other person's clothes had also changed. She was wearing a black shirt and black skirt that did not fit her. She remembered that this should be the outfit her sister chose when she set out.

"What happened? Why are you wearing your sister's clothes?" Liana asked in confusion, her tone changing to worry. "Where's your sister? How is she? Have you seen her?"

Firefly also trotted over, looked Yvette up and down with her camera, and said, "Yvette, you look like your sister."

Yvette looked at them silently, not knowing how to explain the disappearance of Zero, but she felt that a short pain was better than a long one. Instead of letting her play the role of Zero, it would be better to let her leave on her own.

"Yvette disappeared. I am her sister, and I am her sister," Yvette said directly.

Liana and Yinghuo were both stunned.

But the two couldn't help but believe it, because Yvette and Zero had very different personalities. In addition to Zero, the two also had a certain degree of understanding of Yvette, and could immediately feel the completely different souls hidden under the same skin.

"Sister, have you and Yvette merged together?" Yinghuo was the first to break out of her daze and asked in shock.

Yvette shook her head: "...No, she vanished right before my eyes, and I...was also her, but I have no corresponding memories."

Yinghuo gave a puzzled expression: "Sister, what do you mean by 'you are also her'?"

Yvette said frankly: "I am her in the future, and she is me in the past. But I have no memory of the past. And then, for some reasons that even I don't understand, I came here and came into contact with you..."

In a few words, she described the general situation, but skipped most of the information about the real world. She only mentioned that after the doomsday, she lost her memory and suddenly traveled back to the past by accident. She noticed the existence of Zero and chose to contact them as a sister.

Firefly suddenly realized: "No wonder sister and Yvette look so similar, I thought it was strange, people who look so similar are usually twin sisters, sister, there is an age difference between you and her...it turns out that you are the same person."

As a mechanical puppet, it is relatively quick to accept the current situation. Moreover, before Zero left, the emotions and state it expressed were a bit strange. Although such a development is bizarre, it can also explain Zero's attitude.

Then Yvette asked again: "...What situation did you encounter before?"

Since Zero claimed that she was in a long sleep rather than dead, combined with her previous sleepiness, it is likely that the issue of power depletion is strongly related.

I just don’t know what happened to these three people. Even Liana, the number one, found it difficult to handle, and the problem could only be solved by letting the number zero go berserk.

Liana didn't say anything. She had been petrified by the huge impact of the information, like a stiff puppet.

Seeing that Liana was hesitant to speak, Firefly described what had just happened for her, from the appearance of the High Priest of Reincarnation, Ducha, to the two Holy Priests descending from the sky on the bone dragons, and finally the god-like power displayed by Zero.

Yvette was silent. She really didn't expect that the Holy Spirit Sect was so perverted. On the surface, the arrival of a Soul Fire Saint was already an exaggeration, but secretly, there was also a Corpse Demon Saint, a heavyweight war beast Bone Dragon, and a Reincarnation Priest.

But Zero is even more outrageous. He can kill even a top-level warrior like Shikigami Shoji in one glance. A true God is probably no more than that, right?

So, was he really the source of the apocalypse? The destroyer of the world?

The scene suddenly became quiet, with only the spring breeze lifting the silver or golden hair, making it dance gently.

After an unknown amount of time, Liana finally came out of her daze. She stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar Yvette before her, a surge of grief welling up in her heart, nearly causing her to stumble. After being supported by Yvette, she asked with red eyes, "Sister... can Yvette come back?"

"Of course she can." Yvette reached out and rubbed the little blonde girl's head, comforting her. "She said she wanted to sleep for a while, so she will definitely wake up one day. I guess she needs time to recover her strength."

After a pause, he said, "And even if the world is destroyed in the future, she will survive it safely. Otherwise, how could I exist? Don't forget, I am also her."

"That's right..." Liana exhaled, the depressed mood slightly dissipated, and there was a little hope in her eyes. "So all we have to do is wait, right?"

"Yeah, just wait." Yvette said with a smile.

…

That night, in a small county town next to Fusjiang, Yvette and Liana, who were in disguise, and Yinghuo found a small hotel here to stay temporarily.

After the mutant army created by Zero appeared, all the defenders guarding the main traffic arteries outside the Foss River came to support the city, and were then wiped out by Zero.

This meant that when they left, Yvette could easily drive the magic motorcycle she picked up on the roadside, flying across the wilderness with Liana and Firefly, and escape to the nearby small county town without any pressure, with almost no resistance along the way.

At night, in the hotel, through the magic terminal, Yvette learned about the official Rust Bone report on the Fosjiang tragedy.

In this report, Rustbone officials attributed it to a super virus with an extremely high mortality rate and claimed that it was a premeditated biological weapon attack, pointing the finger at the New Eden United States and Black Tower Pharmaceuticals.

But how to say it, although it was indeed caused by the leakage of Black Tower Pharmaceuticals' experimental subjects, Rusty Bones and the Holy Spirit Sect themselves failed to catch the experimental subjects and caused others to go berserk. It was a bit of a stretch to put the blame on New Eden. Therefore, within a few hours, Federal President John issued a strong criticism of the matter, claiming that it was all rumors and slander.

It then evolved into a war of words. Although the massive death toll of more than 300,000 people caused international shock, the two countries' mutual buck-passing successfully characterized the incident as a "lethal virus leak." More in-depth content, such as that related to the mutants, was not disclosed at all, or even if disclosed, it would not receive any traffic.

But that’s not all.

I don't know if it was to suppress the heat about the Zero Incident or to divert attention, but in any case, not long after, another incident quickly topped the headlines of various media pages. The content was the thrilling century-long battle between the national hero "Wuming" and the Soul Fire Saint.

…

Although the Fosjiang Massacre was more horrific and shocking, the materials, evidence, and news channels were all in the hands of the authorities. If the New Eden government, the Rust Bone government, the Black Tower Medicine, the Holy Spirit Sect, and other parties with knowledge of the matter intended to cover it up, the news would naturally not be spread. At most, it could only be circulated within the area where the incident occurred as an urban legend, and would be spread on the streets in the future.

However, the duel between Wuming and Soul Fire Saint was different. There was no need to cover one's mouth about this thing. The battle scene was gorgeous and exciting enough, and full of ordinary people's imagination of the battle between top wizards. Therefore, it quickly became popular on the United States network and gradually spread to the international field. Even netizens in Emerald Continent and Silver Mirror Continent were discussing this matter.

It was impossible not to discuss this. How many level six mages were there in the world, at the level of the Soulfire Saint? Normally, these kinds of battles weren't visible to the general public, as they were considered national security secrets. Now, finally, there was a public display of a battle between top mages. Who couldn't resist taking a look and then chatting about it after dinner?

so……

Although she didn't stay in the Origin Civilization for a long time, Yvette had already become a genuine international celebrity. To use the words from martial arts novels, the world of martial arts had gained a new mysterious young hero with unparalleled martial arts skills, who, at such a young age, could fight with the top elders of famous sects.

In particular, after the fight, Soul Fire Saint Master mysteriously disappeared!

Although most people would certainly not believe that the incarnation of the God of Death would die so easily, there are also many people who believe that the Soul Fire Saint must have been defeated and seriously injured, which is why he stayed indoors and dared not see anyone.

This adds a bit of mystery to the rumors about the legendary mercenary Miss Noname.

…

In the next few days, Yvette, who was still hiding in a hotel in the small county town and wearing a children's dress, also saw the video of her battle with the Soul Fire Saint on the continental network of Kuroshio Continent.

The uploader was the war correspondent Cromwell. This guy live-streamed for more than two hours before being taken away by the Rust Bone military on charges of "threatening Rust Bone national security" and "illegal filming." He was lucky enough to escape the indiscriminate distortion in the city and is still alive and kicking.

But his live broadcast content still spread and caused a huge response around the world.

However, after reading all the heated discussions and praises below the video, Yvette felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, there was no clear result between her and the Soul Fire Saint. Considering that the other party only sent a clone, she had to concentrate on saving her magic power. If they really had to fight to the death, she couldn't say that she could definitely win in a one-on-one fight.

Who knows what trump cards Soul Fire Saint has that he has not used?

But now netizens are praising her as if she had won a great victory, and she feels embarrassed.

Then, thinking of the death of Soul Fire Saint, she felt a little depressed again.

Soul Fire Saint was killed by Zero, along with Bone Dragon and Corpse Demon Saint. Yvette was certain of this, as they returned to the Aberration Legion after their transformation.

But this is very embarrassing, because she has become Zero, and the Holy Spirit Sect will definitely hold her responsible for those accounts, whether she admits it or not - otherwise, the sunk cost is so high, is she just going to swallow it?

Of course, given the ability that Zero demonstrated in the Fosjiang tragedy, the Holy Spirit Sect will definitely not try to have the whole thing to themselves like they did this time. They are not stupid.

Therefore, in the days to come, the Holy Spirit Sect will most likely cooperate with Black Tower Medicine to form a joint capture team to jointly encircle and suppress the enemy.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

…

That afternoon, after searching the Internet for the latest information, Yvette logged into her personal account again and saw the message from Hoyle.

This soul-resting priest is essentially a good person. Some time ago, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the main priest of reincarnation, Linde, was a general. He could not disobey his superior, so he simply took a long-term sick leave and returned to the countryside to recuperate.

This upbringing allowed him to avoid the Fosjiang tragedy caused by Zero, and he was recently invited back to continue handling the main affairs of the Fosjiang Soul Fire Church.

Hoyle knew nothing about how the Fosjiang tragedy happened, but there was one thing that always kept in mind: Miss No Name really killed the general and completed the mission he had given her long ago.

Although at this point, he could no longer go through the church's procedures to pay the mission reward - after all, the church did not recognize the general as the reincarnation high priest Lind - but on a personal level, he still found a way to get enough digital currency as a thank you.

"You're quite rich." Yvette couldn't help but say as she looked at the huge sum of 5 million yuan that suddenly entered her digital currency account.

"Haha, actually, it's still being paid through the church's account, but the name has been changed," Hoyle said happily, but soon his heart turned heavy again. "Alas, after such a serious incident, the church needs a lot of budget to appease the people, and there are a lot of donations from all over the place. This is the only last resort. But no matter what, the use of this money is legitimate. At least I have a clear conscience..."

Considering that she was taking the blame for the Fosjiang tragedy on behalf of Zero, Yvette did not dare to continue the conversation. After a few pleasantries, she ended the conversation.

She then took inventory of her current assets. Including the newly arrived 5 million yuan, she now had a huge sum of over 7 million yuan in her digital currency account. Part of it was the reward she received from the human trafficking incident, and the other part was the proceeds from selling the unique "Dian Magic" of Neon Nightmare's killer, Sidian, on the dark web at a low price.

This could actually be spent to replenish combat power, but unfortunately, she is now in Rust Bone and everything is inconvenient. If she wants to spend money, it is better to return to New Eden and spend it, but that is equivalent to returning to the territory of Black Tower Pharmaceuticals.

So after much thought, Yvette thought, why not buy some software.

She now has a soul brain, but the system architecture of the soul brain is too bad. Moreover, as a sect engaged in the research of necromancy magic, the Holy Spirit Sect is almost a makeshift team in the field of rune compilation and cannot provide any good software adaptation.

Of course, she could also write some system architecture and software for the Soul Brain herself, but to achieve excellence, it would take a lot of time to polish it. Moreover, there were some things she could not do alone - such as AI algorithms. Without data, it would be impossible for her to feed an excellent AI, which was completely beyond the reach of rune attainments.

so……

After much thought, she decided to buy a ready-made system and deploy some ready-made AI models into the Soul Brain, which would make it much more convenient to do anything in the future.

It's too late, I'll just update it once today, and I'll edit it later.
