"Cough cough!"
Jiang Ran wondered if she might have caught a cold or something. She had been coughing a lot lately, and it was the dead of winter in December. She had been running around outside all the time, so it didn't seem surprising that she had caught a cold.
Currently, there are four substitute gods: Yamagami, Aisha, Yuri, and Alansta. Including the three from the opposing side, there are seven in total. There are currently eleven gods in total. Each god can correspond to a maximum of one substitute god, so there can only be a maximum of eleven substitute gods.
But Jiang Ran suddenly thought of something else: what if those three people weren't substitutes for gods, but fallen gods?
The core divinity of the Wheel of Fate is in Jiang Ran's hands, so strictly speaking, all the other fallen gods are Jiang Ran's competitors, vying for this opportunity to become gods! It's just that Arceus might not know about this for the time being, otherwise Jiang Ran suspects that this kid would be the most eager to defect!
Another question to consider is whether there are only these three as the opposing side? Currently, only Song Yang has a confirmed identity; the other two are only known in terms of their abilities, and their identities have not been seen.
Regardless of whether Song Yang is a fallen god or a substitute god, we can rule out the possibility that he is a native of Tianguang Town. He may have stolen the identity of the real "Song Yang" and thus integrated into Tianguang Town.
What is certain at present is that the hostile God-Transformers cannot leave Tianguang Town at will, otherwise they would have done so long ago, forcibly restarting time so that Jiang Ran and the others could be assimilated by Tianguang Town.
Thinking further, they probably can't do anything that would affect the restart, otherwise they could easily kill some important figures to trigger the restart.
Therefore, the other party must have integrated into Tianguang Town in some way, but retained their own thoughts, ability to act, and memories that would not be reset. This place was originally created by the "director," so of course He would not corrupt His own people.
Therefore, we can conclude that the only thing that could cause Tianguang Town to restart is an outsider. So the other party can only take actions to indirectly cause the restart, such as making them forget certain things.
If that's the case, then Marid's suicide might not have been his own intention. It's possible that he committed suicide because they, as outsiders, triggered something. This trigger is ineffective for the residents of Tianguang Town themselves, which is why Song Yang and the others wouldn't choose to do that.
What is their purpose? Is it merely to kill Jiang Ran? If so, they have many opportunities. They only need to activate [Lost] when Jiang Ran is not paying attention and take his life directly.
Of course, the opponent may not have enough mental energy to kill Jiang Ran directly. Jiang Ran had already realized this. The weight of his fate is different from that of others. Using [Miracle] on him will often result in extremely severe consumption!
Before they were fully exposed, they had the opportunity to kill Jiang Ran if they had prepared patiently. But they didn't try. What did they want to achieve? Or what was the purpose of the entire Tianguang Town?
This was clearly not something that could be thought of in a short time, so Jiang Ran decided to find Shan Shangye and Aisha first to prevent them from being affected by the multiple restarts.
Jiang Ran first recalled several important things, constantly reinforcing their memory in her mind.
The activation of [Miracle] follows a principle: any effect that is too great will inevitably consume too much energy!
Taking the concept of "loss" as an example, the effort required to make the same person forget to eat is definitely different from the effort required to make them forget to play games. The deeper Jiang Ran's memory of a certain period is, the more difficult it is for the other party to make him lose that memory!
Jiang Ran found a safe place and began to recover her mental strength.
There's a bit of trouble with Song Yang, but it's not too bad. If Arceus can't tell that Song Yang is fake, then Jiang Ran will have to go and make fun of him.
Once my mental strength recovers, I'll reclaim my identity!
"Cough cough."
Meanwhile, Song Yang led his men to sneak out of the town mayor's residence under cover of night.
Let's go!
He urged everyone to climb over the wall together, but Aransta chuckled and said, "With so many of us, climbing over would be too conspicuous. We don't need so many people."
“That’s true.” Song Yang smiled back. “Gwen and Alice, you two come in with me.”
“No.” Aransta reached out to stop him. “I’ll go in with you. What, Jiang Ran, you don’t want to keep the information to yourself, do you?”
"Since you put it that way, let's go inside."
Watching Song Yang and Alansta climb over the wall and enter the mayor's residence, the big black dog and Gwen Alice nodded to each other and ran into the dark streets!
Song Yang and Aransta made their way into the mayor's backyard. Song Yang's pace was very aggressive, while Aransta took it slow and leisurely.
"Don't run too fast, it's better to be cautious."
It took them a full five minutes to circle around from the backyard to the study. Once they reached the outside of the study, Song Yang climbed over the wall and looked back to see Aransta standing outside the window, grinning smugly, with no intention of coming in.
"I think you're enough to gather information on your own. I'll keep watch outside for you!"
Instead of getting angry, Song Yang chuckled and slowly climbed out of the study, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at Aransta.
"You're not going to act anymore?"
“This is boring. You probably figured out a long time ago that I wasn’t Jiang Ran, right?” Song Yang cracked his knuckles. “You left them outside because you didn’t know what was going on and didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so you had them meet you outside. You, on the other hand, came here confidently. You’re something else, Arceus.”
"You're very confident, and arrogant, Arceus. You came in with me because you think you can take me by the nose?"
“What, Arceus?” Aransta shrugged. “It’s just the two of us here. There’s no one else. Are you paranoid? My brother isn’t here!”
"Not...there?"
Arceus didn't follow; only Aransta came in?!
Song Yang's expression changed drastically, as if he had thought of something, but Aransta reacted first!
This is a miracle from [Domination]!
It wasn't Song Yang who was being dominated, but Aransta!
Song Yang stole Aransta's "Miracle" first. Aransta wanted to use his ability, but found that he had no ability left!
"So—" Song Yang's face revealed murderous intent, "you dared to come in alone, so you've already been treated as a pawn?"
“Heh…” Aransta retorted disdainfully, “Do you dare kill me? Do you dare violate the rules of Tianguang Town?”
Song Yang waved his hand, controlling Aransta as it walked step by step toward the mayor's study!
"Why would I need to personally kill you?"
Even if everyone else escapes, losing you, our general, first is the same!
