Chapter 103 Xiawei Temple, but he was no longer in control of himself...

Compared to the butter flower monk's complete surrender during the last simulation, the headless stone ghost, though truly brainless in every sense, still couldn't suppress its instinctive resistance.

The headless stone ghost could sense that he was in a disadvantageous position and he wanted to change his situation.

Even though he accepted the Jade Bone Mahjong without any reluctance and entirely of his own volition, Yu Naixin could only control the headless stone ghost's body for about three minutes due to the instinctive rejection and resistance.

But that's enough.

Yu Naixin jumped down from the headless stone ghost's shoulder and stood directly opposite it, making it easier for her to operate and observe.

The moment the spiritual energy threads penetrated the headless stone demon's body, Yu Naixin learned that the demon's spiritual energy coefficient was 139.

Slightly lower than the 144 of the Butter Flower Monk, but essentially there is no significant difference. It can be said to be the most evenly matched pair of guest performers that Yu Naixin has ever seen.

The butter flower monk is truly not good at fighting at all. Despite having a spiritual power coefficient that is 5 points higher, he can only be unilaterally suppressed by the headless stone ghost in terms of combat strength.

These were all minor pieces of information obtained casually. Yu Naixin closed her eyes and carefully felt the broken and fleeting things that her spiritual energy threads touched deeper inside the headless stone ghost's body.

[What is the female guest doing? The headless stone ghost was already stiff enough, how could it become even more stiff?]

Where did this mahjong set come from? It's not in the system's special shop. When did the little witch obtain this special artifact?

[Oh! I remember now, during the filming of Neuschwanstein Castle, a similar situation occurred with the vampire. Some viewers in the comments said they heard a "pop" sound, and then the vampire suddenly stopped moving completely!]

The Great Demon King currently possesses three unique magical artifacts. The paper doll and the fox demon have already appeared; this mahjong-shaped artifact should be a skull transformed from a human.

Three minutes later, Yu Naixin opened her eyes.

This time, Yu Naixin's reaction was no better than her past memories of seeing the butter monk during the previous simulation.

However, this time Yu Naixin had much less time to search, only one-tenth of the time she had last time. She couldn't see things in enough detail or comprehensively, and those fragments of memory were even more difficult to analyze. That's why the watery eyes and bloodshot veins in Yu Naixin's eyes weren't as obvious.

The viewers in the live stream were once again shocked and puzzled by Yu Naixin's tears.

Yu Naixin took a deep, deep breath, controlling her hands, which were trembling slightly with anger and sorrow, and very steadily and quickly pulled the spiritual energy threads from the headless stone ghost's body.

The moment the headless stone goblin regained control of his body, a cold and terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from his entire body.

Yu Naixin's use of the Jade Bone Mahjong set had a significant impact on the headless stone ghost. It could no longer maintain its sluggish and simple-minded appearance and turned into the same state that Yu Naixin had seen during the last simulation.

"Kill...!" A muffled, low voice indistinctly emanated from the severed neck of the headless stone golem, "Kill!!"

【?! What happened all of a sudden?】

[Huh? I was just saying that the Headless Stone Golem was so stupid it didn't even seem like a character for the dungeon, and then I got to see this side of it?]

[The heartwarming scene just vanished like that... It's the same old "Heartbeat 1000%" that I know and love.]

[The female guest used a prop on the headless stone ghost, which would definitely offend him. It would be unusual if the headless stone ghost didn't get angry at all, as he doesn't seem to be the type to hide his thoughts.]

[This murderous aura is terrifying! This male guest carries a heavy burden of killing intent!]

Every instinct within him was screaming at the headless stone ghost, wanting to swing the stone sword in his hand, to rush towards the person in front of him, and to unleash all his surging killing intent.

But a few lingering emotions and memories remained undecided. He remembered that the girl in front of him had chosen him as her ideal man without hesitation, he remembered that Yu Naixin had always smiled brightly and radiantly at him, and he remembered the warmth he had once felt in his right index finger.

Two completely different desires were rife within the headless stone golem's limited mental capacity. He stood there struggling, and the increasingly overflowing murderous aura emanating from his body gradually took over.

This time, Yu Naixin looked up at the headless stone ghost, her eyes filled with deep pity.

She knew that the headless stone ghost must be feeling terrible right now.

He had no desire to become a machine that only knew how to fight.

But he no longer had a choice.

Yu Naixin really wanted to help the headless stone ghost, but none of the methods she currently possessed could handle the situation. She had also memorized almost everything in the system's special shop, and knew very well that none of the items there were usable.

“Tell me,” Yu Naixin asked the priest through the mind link, “how can I alleviate his symptoms?”

From the moment Priestess Folding Fan was released by Yu Naixin, she followed Yu Naixin's orders, hiding in the shadows and following in Yu Naixin's footsteps. Yu Naixin, her master, did not need much explanation; Priestess Folding Fan could understand the meaning behind her words.

This special artifact, which can be described as an encyclopedia of the program's content, was also unable to answer this question.

The priest with the folding fan could only offer a very indirect answer: "His current situation is that he's being consumed by resentment. For dungeon guests who have fallen into a state of madness like this, effective cleansing can generally help them regain some clarity."

In the dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%", "being conquered" is almost equivalent to "being conquered", and it is time-sensitive.

However, given the current state of the headless stone demon, it's not a suitable time to attack it.

Yu Naixin had dealt with headless stone golems quite a bit during the last simulation and knew that there was no possibility of communication with them.

So, Yu Naixin decisively turned and left.

She stepped onto the priest's folding fan and flew out of the cave at her fastest speed.

Staying here would only intensify her distress towards the headless stone ghost. Since the headless stone ghost had already tried so hard to avoid harming her, Yu Naixin simply accepted his offer.

This cave is not the headless stone ghost's home ground, but it is the place that the headless stone ghost regards as its residence, which must have a reason.

Since no further clues could be found inside the cave, Yu Naixin decided to expand the search area to see if there was any useful information hidden on the mountainside where the cave was located.

[Huh? The female guest left without any hesitation?]

[She doesn't have a title yet and lacks the means to confront him physically. This male guest is so full of martial spirit and exudes a murderous aura. What else can she do but leave? She can only avoid his sharp edge and then think of a way to deal with him indirectly.]

Even the headless stone ghost is hesitating! He hasn't made a move yet because he's thinking about the female guest!

[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 12 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "True Feelings Are Revealed in Times of Adversity"!]

The mountain peak, which is about 100 meters above sea level, is covered with thick snow. Yu Naixin tried it out and found that the snow went up to her knees.

Hiking would be too difficult and inefficient. Yu Naixin transferred some spiritual energy to the priest's folding fan, allowing him to remain floating a few centimeters above the snow and conduct a thorough search bit by bit.

Midway through, Yu Naixin casually bought a pair of sunglasses from the system's regular store to avoid affecting her eyesight.

It's not very noticeable at lower elevations, but the higher you go, the denser the Rehmannia glutinosa flowers become.

The pink and white flowers bloom vibrantly and beautifully amidst the snow and ice, as if they have their own greenhouse barrier, protecting them from all the cold.

Yu Naixin: "..."

Yu Naixin looked at the clusters of Rehmannia glutinosa flowers at her feet, remained silent for a moment, and a faint, obscure look appeared in her eyes.

[Did the little witch discover something?]

[This flower is visibly strange, but the female guests picked it themselves before and nothing seemed amiss. It seems other conditions are needed to trigger the desired effect.]

[Why does the female guest look at this rehmannia flower with such sadness... My God, it's so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful girl with such an expression...]

Without doing anything further with the rehmannia flowers, Yu Naixin continued flying to other places according to her own plans.

Yu Naixin searched for this mountain peak for more than ten hours.

The climate and scenery inside and outside Xiawei Temple have little in common, like one is in summer and the other in winter, but after all, they are the same program, and the time is the same.

Based on the fact that the last simulation started at around 6 a.m., Yu Naixin spent about twelve hours searching until 6 p.m. before she had checked all the places she wanted to find.

The light in the sky also went through a process of becoming brighter as noon approached and gradually dimming as evening approached, confirming Yu Naixin's speculation.

In the dim light of the setting sun, Yu Naixin finally found the only place where she could make a discovery, at a vertical height of less than 20 meters from the top of the mountain.

From the outside, this place looks no different from its surroundings, both being deeply buried by thick white snow.

Even with Yu Naixin's extraordinary perception, she only vaguely sensed that something was wrong until she cleared away the snow to reveal the truth inside.

The area where something seemed amiss was relatively small. To avoid disrupting any potential clues, Yu Naixin didn't use a large-scale snow removal method. She bought a snow shovel from the system's regular store and also had a paper dog come over to help push the snow.

As for the priest's folding fan, Yu Naixin had to use it as a carrying tool, so she couldn't do anything else with it.

Finally, it was able to get its owner's command to pounce on the snow. The paper puppy was overjoyed, its tail almost spinning like a propeller, and it began to help with all its might.

Yu Naixin's speed was far inferior to itss, and soon, a dark hole appeared behind the layers of snow.

The moment Yu Naixin saw the opening, she knew it served the same purpose as the west wing in the backyard of Xiawei Temple.

It must contain the past of the headless stone ghost.
