The apprentice was taken away.
Fuzhi's last words were not a provocation from the victor, but an objective fact.
Zhu Ri sat by the wooden house, one leg bent and the other hanging naturally in the air. The hand on his knee held a dagger and was playing with it, but the owner of the dagger was obviously in a daze.
After dealing with his business, Huang Jin, who hadn't received a response in the group chat, rushed over and found this was the scene he was looking for.
The black panther nimbly leaped onto the tree, transforming into a moon bear as it landed beside the elf. Ash first went inside to investigate before returning to sit beside Sun Chaser and asking, "Who took her away?"
He must not be a player from the tranquil mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have this expression, which is both wistful and somewhat devastated. This is truly rare.
Zhu Ri pursed her lips and her first words were: "I can't beat her anymore."
This was a predictable outcome. Knowing that the other party frequently entered the Demon Game using time stop, one could guess who they were looking for—"Searching for Song in the Mountains," which was the new teacher the apprentice had found for himself.
Not long ago, the other party was just a cub who depended on and worshipped him. The other party's dream was closely related to his, and the weapon she used was a dagger. But in the blink of an eye, the other party became the judge, representing Zaijiu in negotiations with the isolated island.
Time flies, and once again, Zhu Ri stands on the war cruise ship, witnessing the apprentice leading an entire world to break free from fate and create the history of the Gods' Game.
Before she could even adjust to the fact that she was no longer an apprentice, her dagger was already no match for the sword in her opponent's hand.
If Zhu Ri couldn't defeat him, then Huang Jin, whose strength was not much different from Zhu Ri's, naturally couldn't defeat him either.
Wasteland asked, "How long did you hold out?"
He glanced at her coldly each day, refusing to answer the unfriendly question.
Huang Jin considerately changed his tune: "Okay, who took her away?"
This question wasn't exactly friendly either. Zhu Ri frowned unhappily and said, "A woman named Fu Zhi who claims to be her cooking teacher."
Although they didn't go to the so-called temple at the time, the fragmented information in the battlefield chat group was enough for them to piece together some things, but they never connected the cooking teacher with the "Dawn Cicada's Network of Relationships".
But the moment the other person appears and admits to being a cooking teacher, all these previously scattered clues come together.
But more than why a god would descend upon the tranquil mountains, Huang Jin was more concerned with one thing, or perhaps more concerned with her own conjecture: "Did she attack you?"
He calmly replied, "Yes, she wanted to kill me."
"You're not surprised or angry at all."
"There's nothing surprising about it. I just guessed that she was having nightmares about the devil's game."
What is the most painful thing for someone who wants to drink and sing?
Imprisoning her and depriving her of her freedom? No, that's meaningless, because unless she dies, her apprentice can't lose hope. It's just a devil's game. Even if she were locked up from beginning to end, she wouldn't feel bad. She would only think about how to break free and overcome the predicament.
To let someone close to her betray her? It's possible, but the apprentice seems to have long since learned to accept that everyone will go their separate ways because of their own ideals. She guards against everyone, including herself and the Wasteland.
Trampling on her self-esteem? No, this won't hurt her; it will only ignite her anger and a furious counterattack.
What else could cause her pain? Perhaps it would be the urge to destroy the things she cares about with her own hands.
The apprentice was heartless and greedy. One teacher was not enough, one pet was not enough, and even one cat was not enough. But she cared deeply about everyone she kept by her side and in her heart. She searched everywhere for true feelings and was never satisfied.
Only when something is irreversible can it cause unbearable suffering to living beings.
If the apprentice enters the demon game again and again after time stops, and if she kills herself in the demon game again and again, the worst outcome might be that she has already killed herself tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times in the demon game.
In this situation, the other party has developed a conditioned reflex; upon seeing her, they will attack immediately even without hearing the Demon Game quest.
Moreover, judging from the apprentice's obviously abnormal state, it's hard to say whether he even has the ability to think.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ri nodded with satisfaction and said to Huang Jin, "She only attacked me and didn't even touch that Fu Zhi. Not bad."
This means that the opponent's nightmare is only about killing themselves.
A cooking teacher? Haha, just an elective course teacher.
Zhu Ri: Although we lost, we also won.
Wasteland: "...Hmm, if she saw me, she would probably kill me too."
