In another clash, as weapons clashed and they faced each other at close range, Qunshan Xunge suddenly asked this question: "Has your nightmare changed?"
That's a very interesting question.
Yu Xunge revealed the first truly radiant smile since waking up. Only the other her noticed the problem, only the other her sensed that something was wrong.
Even though they lost their memories, the other party still retained their keenness and suspicion.
Even Qi Hua mistakenly believed that she had so many weaknesses and so much sincerity, and that 140,000 attempts still could not change her mind.
She asked another version of herself, perhaps the person who understood her best in the world, "What do you think?"
The song "Searching for Songs in the Mountains" replaced the answer with a new question: "How did you do that?"
Although she only had one memory of each of the five Demon Games, she knew that in each Demon Game, Xinghai Xunge would kill the dragon, the little robot, and the two beings she called her teachers after finishing her class.
It's like a pre-programmed sequence.
The nightmares of the first and fifth Devil Game were exactly the same.
How could every nightmare be the same after countless cycles?
Are those four guys really that important?
This is precisely what Qunshan Xun Ge (a song title) finds most suspicious.
It is indeed important, but not so important that it's a matter of life and death.
No matter how long they've known each other, how could it be longer than the time she's known herself?
She was truly in pain when she first killed them in the demon game; she was in pain for her choice and for recognizing her true self.
But if the pain persists even on the 140,000th time, then there's only one explanation left—hypocrisy.
So hypocritical, yet the Devil Game somehow acknowledges her pain, as if it were a false reality.
Let her put it another way—get into character.
The mission could be completed simply by killing four players who wouldn't fight back. She didn't want to change anything about this simple Nightmare mission, as that would not only prolong her game time but also add too much uncertainty to the game. The Demon Game couldn't be resurrected.
Moreover, the more monotonous, repetitive, and mechanical the memory, the less impact it has on her, although it may have some influence on her subsequent behavior—such as acting like a fool for a few days—but as long as she recalls most of her past memories, she can "wake up".
What she wanted was to learn the combat techniques of the Mountain Song, not to play an immersive game. She didn't care about her nightmares; she just wanted to become stronger.
What better way to get into character than by hypnotizing yourself?
Yu Xunge laughed and said, "Ah, I forgot you have no memory. You may not know, but if it weren't for the game's invasion, we would be movie queens. Getting into character is a basic skill."
She dodged the attack of the mountain shark in mid-air and grabbed its wrist—[Flower of Deception].
The golden apple landed in his hand, but Shan Sha Leng was not dead. He didn't know what skill he used to foresee the danger of this skill, but he directly and neatly severed his entire arm and retreated quickly.
It doesn't matter, as long as it's an apple. Yu Xunge finished the apple in a few bites while dodging, gaining more than 10,000 attribute points.
As Yu Xunge dodged Qunshan Queque's claws and brushed past him, he suddenly pulled out a gold coin. The coin bounced high into the air the instant Qunshan Queque glanced over.
The mountain peaks' gaze followed the gold coin intently.
Yu Xunge spoke softly in the language of celestial phenomena: "You are Xinghai Queque, you are Xinghai Xunge's ally, and your goal is to kill Qunshan Fengtang."
Suddenly, Qunshan's eyes became empty, and she turned and rushed towards Qunshan Maple Syrup.
Yu Xunge laughed heartily. Under the watchful eyes of the mountains, the gold coin fell, and the item information had already changed.
【My Sigh】(Treasure): Why do the bells ring out in the sea of stars? Why are our "Midsummer" so different?
Qi Hua guessed correctly; this was indeed a prop made to imitate the [World's Sigh].
But what she imitated was not "storing memories," but rather allowing another being to "enter the scene," just as those worlds allowed her to enter the souls of one being after another, allowing her to "see" the world from their perspective.
This gold coin, named "My Sigh," can induce a hypnotic state simply by flipping it.
Just like the script introduction, "Why do the bells ring out in the sea of stars? Why are our 'Midsummers' so different?"
The line, "I don't know how many times I will suffer, but I can find happiness in memories," is the intro to the script she wrote for herself.
The real information about this gold coin is:
【My Sigh】(Treasure): Listen to the script I wrote for you; at this moment, my sigh is your sigh.
…
With Qunshan Queque and Qunshan Fengtang temporarily leaving, Yu Xunge turned his attention to the next target to be addressed.
She must defeat Gunzan Mistblade before she becomes mentally broken and unable to fight.
Divine Technique - [End of Story]!
As if struck by a heavy blow, the Mountain Mist Blade staggered backward. Was she dead? No, but her third fox tail had fallen off!
Yu Xunge's dragon wings fluttered slightly, and he flashed to the fox's tail and snatched it away.
The next second, a cloud of smoke formed an arrow that pierced Yu Xunge's heart, reducing his health by 30%.
The skill effect of "Bedtime Fairy Tale" has been triggered. Was that a fatal blow just now?
Yu Xunge immediately used a C-level Small Spark, and then used [Unwavering Oath] on the Mountain Maple Syrup that was attacking from the rear.
"Designate a target and forcibly swap the last skill you each used."
Let her see what good stuff she's gotten her hands on?
[Heir] (Divine Skill): Designate a target and kill them regardless of everything, and inherit their most beloved item from their lifetime. Using this skill will temporarily consume 9 points of Luck, which will be restored after 15 Mountain Days; (Note: Killing a target using this skill will not be recognized by any demonic relics.)
Yu Xunge immediately sent an application to inherit the estate to every friend present, along with the "Family Bucket".
The third fox tail that Gunshan Wuren had just grown broke off again; a chain split off from Gunshan Xunge's mask and locked her wrist; Gunshan Fengshu pipe emitted a large amount of smoke; the weather above Gunshan Queque's head suddenly turned into a shield; Gunshan Sha Leng, who had already grown a new arm using a healing technique, froze for a second; one of Gunshan Maki's tentacles broke off and then grew back...
...This is so annoying, why are all of them so hard to kill?
