Chapter 108: The 22nd Scene [Childlike Innocence]

"Have you remembered everything... gurgle gurgle gurgle...?"

The unidentified object melted quite badly, and the old-fashioned camera in its hand was soon submerged in the foul-smelling liquid.

"About you... Gulululu... and your friends... Gulululu..."

"Have you remembered everything... gurgle gurgle gurgle...?"

"Me and my friends?" He Yuezhe held the photo handed to him by an unknown object and gently placed it into the goblet.

"Hey, kid, if you don't think carefully before you speak, it'll be easy for others to hear your flaws, okay?"

"You... Gulululu... What do you mean? Gululu..." The body of the unknown object suddenly turned red and green. "You don't want to... Gululu... your friends... Gululu... anymore?"

"My friends... weren't they all conjured up by you? How can they still be considered my friends then?"

"So, do you have friends?" He Yuezhe stirred the dissolved photo drink with a fork and raised his eyes to ask, "Do you know how humans view friends?"

"[Humans]... Gulululu... to their friends... Gululu... isn't it always... Gulululu... like this... Gululu... accompanying... Gululu... like this?..."

"Wrong, wrong!" He Yuezhe shook his head and slammed the glass of water onto the ground next to the unidentified object. "Humans won't always stay with their friends!"

The drink in the photo shattered onto the ground, spreading to the side of the unidentified object and creating a thick mist.

"Then... Gulululul... [humans]...how... Gululul...treat...their... Gulululul...friends?" The unidentified creature tilted its [head] and asked in confusion.

He Yuezhe felt that the whole world was changing with the movement of the unknown object!

Everything fell to the ground in a tilted and upside-down manner. The originally sweet biscuits, [sauce] and various drinks were all mixed together, and a strange smell enveloped the entire [dance party].

The screen flickers.

The ceiling of the ball, no, even the whole world, everything was trembling!!

I have a splitting headache.

Is the connection between my dream and this place about to be severed?

"They will first establish a good relationship with humans and become friends," He Yuezhe frowned, then smiled and pounced on the unidentified object. "Then, then there will be endless betrayal—"

“HA ...

That's right, that's it, shatter its cognition and break the [illusion]. He Yuezhe, you did a great job.

^

"Honestly, you did a pretty good job in this scene," He Yuezhe said expressionlessly, leaning against the ruins. "Are you interested in joining me?"

"Host, host!??"

“Join…Gulululu…you…Gulululu…?”

The unidentified object was spread out on the top corner of the ruins, and it seemed a little difficult to move.

He Yuezhe nodded and smiled sweetly at it: "Yes, join me, let me realize your [illusion], your dream, let me achieve everything for you."

"—until you leave me."

"Hmm... grunt... but I'm a [Deformed Species], is that okay?"

"[Deformed Species]...?"

This thing finally gets to the point.

He Yuezhe frowned, tilted his head in feigned confusion, and asked, "But what's the difference between you and the [Deformed Species]?"

“Gurgle… Gurgle… Gurgle… Gurgle…………………” The unidentified object shrank onto the surface and stopped talking.

He Yuezhe glanced at it, drew out his dagger with some dissatisfaction, and stabbed straight at it.

“Gulululu… Gulululu…!” The unidentified object was split in two, but no trace of fire appeared. “I… We are no different…”

"A liar is a puppy."

As soon as He Yuezhe finished speaking, the unidentified object instantly turned into a liquid puppy.

It stood dazedly on top of the ruins.

In this deserted and desolate background, He Yuezhe suddenly felt that it was like a lost... child?

“Gurgle…Gurgle…Gurgle…Gurgle…Gurgle…”

"..." He Yuezhe was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to retract the two daggers. "Whatever you want, I'm leaving now."

"Host, I've detected that you have successfully completed the World Exploration Side Quest: [Dance] and successfully decrypted it. Next, I will issue you the following—"

"Gululu, wait, wait!!!"

The world changes again.

Ruins, fragments... everything that has a physical form, including Minglin's body.

All of this rises infinitely toward the Infinity in the void.

Warm colors gradually spread throughout this huge place, with huge dolls, huge furniture, and a tiny childhood.

He Yuezhe was sucked over by the small figure.

She felt the same way as the little figure.

——This overwhelming [innocence].

…

…

…

[I], am a [deformed species]?

No, I am a deformed species.

"I'm sorry, I'm a Deformed Species, not the Deformed Alien you're looking for."

I covered my neck and stuffed back the food and water that had leaked out.

"How old are you?" In front of me, a human whose whole body was blurred squatted down and gently held my shoulders.

I scratched my head helplessly and said timidly, "I don't know..."

"What about your parents? Don't they care about you?" The [Human] seemed a little anxious.

"Parents?" I shook my head and explained, "Sorry, I probably don't have any parents."

"No?..." The [Human] became confused again, "Then, where do you usually live?"

It's so strange, when will I be able to see the magic fluctuations of humans?

I pointed to a piece of paper with the words "Ruins No. 499.5" written on it and replied, "Here."

“This is my home. I’ve always lived here.”

“How could this be…” The [human] held [my] face in his hands dejectedly, “Everyone should have a home… Everyone should have a home…!”

"Her world, this is her world...! How could someone, cough cough cough, how could someone be without a home...!?"

“What are you talking about?” I was frightened and took a few steps back. “This, this is clearly my world!!”

I felt something was wrong.

"This is my world!! It will always be my world!! Don't even think about taking it away!!! Don't even think about it!!! It will always be mine!!!"

"So...so...you can't, can't hurt me anymore...!!!"

A [illusion] that has been prepared for a long time has begun to unfold in order to protect [me].

I invited this strangely behaving human being, and also invited several magicians with the ability to change.

At first, my world was like an amusement park.

But "childish, too childish", my [█ █ █] said to me.

It says that a scene like a [ball], which is full of sweetness and luxury, is the most suitable for [fantasy].

Because the ball is a magical place and has nothing to do with my ability.

So, I don’t like it here at all.

So I gave some gifts to the magicians who participated in the ball.

I made them lose their memories and then remember them, remember them and then lose their memories again. I made them sink into this abyss of memories...!!

————Ah, I am no longer the terrifying, all-hated deformed alien! ! !

I am a deformed species, I am a deformed species, I am a deformed species! ! ! ! !

I think, someone as evil as me... must be a deformed species, right?

…

“Crunch.”

"Naive [Deformed Aliens] believe that as long as they obey and do evil, they can become [Deformed]."

He Yuezhe grabbed the neck of the unknown object and finally broke free from its body.

She temporarily put aside the identity of the girl who took her hand and ran away.

"But unfortunately—"

"You succeeded. You really became a qualified deformed species."

"So I will kill you," He Yuezhe's eyes turned cold, and she curled the corners of her mouth, "to avenge you for harming my friend."

She suddenly laughed crazily, and the strength of her hands became lighter and heavier, causing the unknown object's face to change constantly!

"I'll kill you like you killed my friend, I'll kill you like you killed my friend, I'll kill you like you killed my friend!!"

“Uh ...

"If only you wouldn't die... If only you wouldn't die..." He Yuezhe said after calming down.

"Then I can [[[[Love]]] you... forever, forever... until forever."

“Crack.”

"This is for you, to commemorate your last visit to the dance," He Yuezhe finally pulled the old-fashioned camera out of the unknown object's neck, pressed the record button, and said softly, "Please keep it safe."

^

"Minglin!!!"

The girl's voice first entered my ears, followed by her worried face: "...Why did you wake up just now?"

In Minglin's familiar dormitory, dim lights were on and soothing fragrance was wafting in the air, making He Yuezhe feel sleepy again just after waking up.

But now it seems that the [Dance] side quest has finally come to an end?

Although He Yuezhe had been very excited and wanted to set off immediately since she heard the system mention this [Dance Party] that included multiple formation attributes three days ago, when she arrived at the place, she felt it was too troublesome.

If the system hadn't prevented her from [taking the initiative], she would have most likely blown the place into ruins the first second she entered the [illusion].

He Yuezhe looked at the two people's tangled hands, then looked at Ming Jiao, and said in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, you are both awake, and you are still alive."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ming Jiao turned his head away and took out a handkerchief to press on He Yuezhe's forehead. "You have been unconscious for so many days for no apparent reason. I still want to ask you this question."

"Cousin," He Yuezhe felt the dryness on his lips and shook his head gently, "I'm going to save you."

She leaned closer to Ming Jiao: "There, you became a—"

"call."

"...Minglin!" Ming Jiao covered his ears that had been blown by the air, and angrily slapped He Yuezhe's head "hard." "Rest well, don't move around."

He Yuezhe was "forced" to lie back in his original position, then he covered his head and slowly shrank back with a look of grievance.

"Minglin."

No response.

"Minglin?"

No response.

"Minglin, your cousin is not mean to you."

Still no response.

"Minglin, are you angry? Let me apologize to you, cousin."

Still no response.

"Minglin, your cousin is worried about you. If you feel any pain, you can pat me..."

Ming Jiao felt a heaviness on his head. He looked up and saw Ming Lin holding her stomach and laughing happily.

"Minglin, you're not angry anymore?" Ming Jiao ruffled her soft hair and handed her the birthday present from behind. "Look, what is this?"

"Necklace!! It's the ruby ​​necklace I've wanted for a long time!!!"

Minglin jumped up happily, looked at it carefully, and then motioned Mingjiao to put it on her.

"Yes, it's a necklace." Ming Jiao smiled, a rare sight, seeing her so happy. "Ming Lin, do you like it?"

"Of course I like it!!! I've had my eye on this necklace for a long time!!!" Minglin hugged Mingjiao's neck, "Cousin, I knew you were the best!!!"

"That……"
