The strange man, with his large tongue lolling out, was gagging. Since his tongue couldn't be used as a weapon, he could only use his fingernails to snarl at Wen Jingge.
NIO had long since become fed up with all of this. "Did you torment your apprentices on the mountain in the same way before?"
“They don’t see it as torture; they even consider it enjoyable.”
NIO: "Okay! I'm done, you can continue."
"I still don't think the rooster crowing I heard meant it was dawn."
"Here we go again?" He exhaled a breath of stale air. "You don't have a storage bag on you, where did you get the stuff from?"
"There's a coffin in my head, I don't know whose it is, it's been with me for a long time. When I climbed the Heavenly Ladder, I left it at Ten Thousand Zhang Peak. After your coffin was unsealed, it appeared in my mind. Hmm, I should call it the Sea of Consciousness!"
Before, I couldn't see anything, but now, there's a lot of stuff in this coffin.
"For example?" NIO's eyelids twitched. "This giant nail clipper, are you planning to cut the nails of giants?"
"Are there still giants in this world?"
“It used to be like that.” NIO looked dejected because Wen Jingge was unconventional, grabbing the strange man’s fingernails and pulling him and the coffin a little closer to the cabin door.
She was applying nail polish, pulling out a huge bottle of ceramic nail polish and holding a brush made of calligraphy brush in her hand.
NIO: ...
"You don't need to look at me like that. I feel that the Wen Jingge before I lost my memory was also a weirdo. These things are not mine. I didn't paint my nails in my past life."
Wen Jingge's fingernails twitched, and she snapped them shut. "Be quiet. I just painted them, and now you want me to cut them again?"
The strange man was still retching. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, NIO also began to look for a way to get rid of him. "Can you stop pulling me? If you keep pulling me, I'm really not far from death."
"Don't worry, it thinks it smells pretty good. It wants to eat itself, but it's also afraid of eating itself."
NIO turned around and realized that Wen Jingge was right after all.
The strange man was now extremely conflicted, especially since so many tongues were strung together on a single string; he wanted to eat them but was also afraid to.
Are we just going to wait like this?
"What are you afraid of? I have something good here. You can try it out. I don't understand the purpose of this thing being here either."
Before NIO could even see what she was doing, a mechanical keyboard appeared in her arms, gleaming with a metallic sheen and seemingly enchanted.
NIO: "What? Are you implying something about me?"
"I don't understand either. You were once a modern person, and you're saying this keyboard has no wires, there's no electricity in this world, and it's of high quality, handcrafted, full of craftsmanship. It's not an object suitable for display; it wouldn't fit anywhere."
"Tell me, what would I have made of this before I lost my memory? If I had even a single peanut, I wouldn't have made something so bizarre."
NIO was idly tapping away when the sound of a screeching chicken came from the water.
NIO: ...
His expression hardened, and he knocked again. This time, he was sure he hadn't misheard: "Is this the rooster clucking you heard?"
The strange man seemed to have heard it too. His two spit-out eyeballs, like a slingshot surprise from a prank box, bounced out with a "clang" and landed in front of NIO.
"Ah!" This time it was NIO that screamed.
The eyeballs in the prank gift box are two-dimensional, unlike the ones in front of me that can rotate. "You, you, you! What sins did I commit to believe you and dive down here? Let me tell you, I died of a heart attack in my past life!"
Even if someone accidentally becomes a god, they'd still faint from fright. "Wen, Wen Jingge, take this thing away, I'm terrified!"
"It's okay, it's okay, be good!"
Wen Jingge released the strange man's fingernails with satisfaction. The man looked at his fingernails with a puzzled expression, as if he was very dissatisfied. He rubbed them on the ground, trying to remove the gold powder.
"Don't scare me! Do you think I don't want to join the group? Two lunatics and a master strategist, how can I possibly fight them all? I'm scared!"
I was scared, so I grabbed the Demon Lord and hid. Who knew the Demon Lord would side with that madman Qi Yun!
He not only ruined himself, but he also dragged me down with him. I'm a god, after all; I have my pride too!
Although they're a bit weak, but... but I raised all the War Gods. I... I raised the War Gods, understand?
"I understand, I understand!" Wen Jingge watched him go crazy, then blindfolded him. "I won't scare you anymore, I won't scare you anymore, be good!"
"What are you going to do now?" His heart was pounding. If Wen Jingge could be so kind as to notice, she was probably going to cause trouble again.
"Strike a match."
A "puffing" sound came from the deck, the rowing getting faster and faster, sounding very anxious.
A faint smell of sulfur filled the air. NIO seemed to understand something, "What brand of nail polish are you using?"
"Oh! I found it!" Wen Jingge snatched the keyboard from his hand and covered his ears. "I think the person hiding behind this sound can't stand it either."
"Now! Let's sing a song!"
"Qi Yun is most afraid of noise when she sleeps. You're asking for trouble by doing this." NIO was grateful that she had covered her ears and kindly reminded her.
Death is like the wind, always by my side.
"..."
"Here!" He was even more astonished when he saw the recording stone being shoved into his hand. "What for?"
"Capture my breathtakingly beautiful death!"
“Absolutely stunning…you’re crazy!” Despite saying that, NIO still picked up the photo stone.
"How could I go crazy if I wasn't sick?"
"Okay, that makes a lot of sense."
The shrill screams of chickens echoed throughout the cabin, which also accelerated the sparks caused by the monster rubbing its fingernails together. Soon, its wooden coffin was burned.
