"Is there any difference between the two?"
The system asked blankly.
"They are completely different in terms of definition."
"Or, to use the words of us magicians... this is a question of the soul."
"In the former case, the soul will undergo a transfer, moving from one body to another, either merging with or replacing it."
"The latter... only receives a memory, but their soul remains unchanged."
"Hmm..."
The system felt like it was about to grow a brain, and it spoke cautiously:
So what does this tell us?
"This proves that the protagonist became like this entirely because of us!"
"..."
System: Huh?
"Well, it's my fault for not considering things thoroughly enough."
"My forte is soul-related magic, and with the source of power I received from the world's consciousness in the last world, my soul seems to have become... a bit stronger."
"If this continues, who knows, one day he might become a god."
Vili was just saying it casually, but the system couldn't help but shudder.
"In short, when crossing the world barrier, I did not conceal my soul in any way, and the protagonist, as the pillar of this world, should have been affected by... a tiny bit."
"It wouldn't cause his soul to dissipate, but he unexpectedly glimpsed some other timeline..."
"Um……"
It seems very likely no matter how you look at it.
"But since we're not doing any missions, it shouldn't matter, right?"
In conclusion, Vili concluded.
"I guess so……"
The system had only one feeling at that moment: relief.
Fortunately, I was sensible back then and quickly latched onto the host's coattails!
Just as it was about to follow its heart and say something nice, the actual situation changed.
During the thank-you ceremony and while speaking with Castin, Chu Lai's fingers twitched slightly.
In an instant, a beam of light shone straight into the darkness, distorting and dazzling the space like a kaleidoscope. Castin instinctively squinted. Almost simultaneously, a gunshot rang out!
Sparks flew as Xie Liqi targeted his gun-wielding hand.
Instinctively, years of experience escaping crises caused Castin to flip his wrist, the bullet grazing his ear, but his grip on Willy loosened for a moment.
When his vision returned, Xie Liqi was already standing in front of him, but his arms were empty.
Before he could even look at Vili, a fist, accompanied by the whooshing sound of wind, struck his arm; Xie Liqi's target was still the weapon in his hand.
Castin dodged the attack and then quickly launched a counterattack.
Perhaps because the clinic was too cramped, in order not to accidentally injure Vili, the two simultaneously abandoned their guns and opted for a brutal, hand-to-hand combat.
Castin's movements were more skillful and refined, still exuding an undeniable elegance. Xie Liqi, who should have been at a disadvantage due to his injuries, was driven by a hopeless determination to take his opponent down with him, each attack a trade of injury for injury, determined to kill the man before him.
Both men had honed their fighting skills in life-or-death situations, and for a moment they were locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Meanwhile, Chu Lai had already carried Vili to the edge of the window.
This is indeed a convenient shortcut.
Seeing that Willy's gaze was fixed on the two figures whose figures were intertwined, he lowered his head and whispered in the boy's ear with a hint of jealousy.
"Honey, what's so interesting about them?"
Why don't you look at me?
As he spoke, his cheeks flushed again.
To make it easier to escape, he picked up Willy in a princess carry, supporting the boy's bent legs with one arm and firmly holding the boy's waist with the other, pressing him tightly against his chest.
Despite his seemingly frail appearance, Chu Lai possessed great strength, effortlessly carrying Vili without a change in his breathing.
However, his rapidly beating heart betrayed him.
Seeing that Willy did not answer, he did not press the matter, but instead jumped off the windowsill, thus beginning an escape under the moon.
Chu Lai wasn't as familiar with the route as Xie Liqi, but his eyesight was enough to allow him to avoid any possible dangers. They managed to smuggle Vili into the hotel room without attracting anyone's attention.
Even with such vigorous movements, he still took care not to make his embrace too turbulent.
Afterwards, Chu Lai carefully laid Vili down, letting him lie flat on his bed, before finally letting go of his embrace.
It was already late at night, the perfect time for the NPCs to hunt. But perhaps because the second wave of players had just entered the game, they were much more cautious than the previous players and did not choose to provoke them. The NPCs had just finished eating, so the night was unusually peaceful.
Inside the room, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
After a long pause, it was Willie who spoke first.
He was initially a little worried about being retaliated against, but after so long, he didn't feel any sense of crisis about being harmed.
Therefore, he boldly extended his tentative pad.
"I'm sleepy."
"My wife spoke to me..."
Vili: ?
Where should we hold our wedding? How about a tropical island for our honeymoon? How many children should we have in the future?
"..."
It had been so long since he had spoken to Chu that he had almost forgotten... that this was Chu's persona.
This is precisely why he continued to ignore Chu Lai afterward; it's just that... although the other party appears cold and gloomy, he particularly enjoys talking to himself when facing him.
