Memory Maze: Biting the Sweetness of the Past Life
The iron door to the castle's basement was rusted, its keyhole shaped like a panda's paw. Xiaodou stuck his paw inside, and the rust instantly turned to icing sugar. The mist that poured out from the door carried an old sadness—the smell of the GM's tears when he was first rejected by the witch three hundred years ago.
"Be careful, this is 'bitter memory fog'." Lin Shen's personality raised the scanner. "If you are exposed to it for more than three minutes, you will be trapped in your most painful memories."
Before she could finish her words, Snowball suddenly whimpered, and the image of being chased and bitten by a dog while wandering emerged in her pupils. Xiaodou hurriedly patted her back with his panda paw, but found that his fur was also absorbing the mist. The black fur around his panda eyes gradually spread, like he was wearing a pair of sunglasses.
"Don't be afraid, Snowball," Xiaodou opened his arms and hugged her, "You are a cat with a cat slave now. Bai Shenyuan and I will protect you."
The warmth of the panda hug was passed on, and Snowball's memory scene suddenly switched - Bai Shenyuan (Ling Yuan personality) once used a tactical belt to help her drive away wild dogs, Lin Shen personality designed an automatic scratcher for her, and Bai Yan personality would hum a fox lullaby while combing her hair every day.
"So..." Snowball flicked his tail, "It feels so sweet to be pampered."
Her cat claws suddenly slapped the wall, creating a panda-shaped gap in the mist, revealing the sweet fragments of memories inside - the GM secretly hid an engagement ring in the chocolate he gave to the witch, but out of nervousness he said, "This is chocolate that can crack walnuts."
White Abyss switches between three personalities to deal with the problem:
- Ling Yuan (cold face cutting fog): "This fog has substance, it was condensed by the witch using black magic."
- Bai Yan (scattering osmanthus cake crumbs): "Use sweetness to distract them, Xiaodou, chew on that cloud of fog on the left!"
- Lin Shen (Analyzing the Pattern): "The cracks in the wall correspond to the intensity of the townspeople's grief. The harder they gnaw, the more fragile the maze becomes."
Xiaodou followed his instructions and gnawed at the sad mist of "abandonment by parents." The mist transformed into the flavor of honey and lemon in his mouth—the same flavor as the cough syrup Bai Yan had first brewed for him in the Demon Realm chapter. As he chewed, the Sky-Swallowing Pattern of the Concept Rat Clan emerged on the wall, perfectly aligning with his panda claws.
The mechanical cat suddenly pressed its chip against the wall: "Special energy detected! The core of this mist is... the tears of the messenger of heaven?"
As everyone was stunned, Xiaodou gnawed through the last layer of fog, revealing a crystal memory jar at the end. The jar was engraved with the same runes as the Demon Realm Chains, and thousands of black teardrops floated inside, each reflecting the image of the witch crying on the dessert planet in the Star Wars GM.
"It turns out she has always loved him," Bai Yan's personality said softly, "but the rules of heaven distorted her way of expressing it."
As soon as Xiaodou's panda paw touched the jar, all the tears suddenly merged into the image of the GM. He was wearing an interstellar pirate costume and holding melted chocolate in his hands: "Xiao Ku, this is made by me. It's a little ugly, but..."
The image suddenly distorted, turning into the witch's angry face: "Made by yourself? You clearly have the resources of the entire dessert planet!" She waved her arms, and the memory jar began to vibrate. Countless bitter mists poured into the maze, condensing into a giant phantom of her abandoned childhood self.
"She projected her disappointment in GM into hatred for all things sweet." Lin Shen's personality pushed up his glasses. "She is now actually the little girl who couldn't wait for chocolate three hundred years ago."
Xiaodou looked at the bitter chocolate in the phantom's hand, and suddenly remembered the first piece of burnt osmanthus cake that Bai Yan roasted with fox fire when he was imprisoned in the demon world chapter - the sweetness at that time was bitter with courage.
"White Abyss," he turned his head, the black fuzz in his panda eyes spreading to his cheeks, "Use the power of your three souls to help me return the sweetness to her."
Bai Shenyuan nodded, and the lines of the three personalities flowed on his arms: "This time, it's our turn to be her light."
