Neither financial management nor offensive tactics were of any help to the current situation, so they quickly let go of this little matter - only temporarily. Sonia would definitely use this matter to often laugh at Ash in the future, saying "You can't manage your finances without money."

"Then we can choose the third option: find a special virtual world building that the Heroic Soul Corps cannot enter, get in, and then immediately leave the virtual world. We won't lose anything." Ash drove to avoid a long-range attack: "But the problem is that this kind of virtual world building is difficult to find."

"Is there no option to fight back?" Diya asked, "For example, crush them to death with your invincible car?"

Sonia looked at Diya and found that she had a strand of red hair. It was obvious that the Red Death had also joined the meeting.

Ash explained: "Most of the modifications on this car are used to deal with intellectual creatures. For example, the "Refractive Curtain Wall" can't be broken even by social creatures after a long time of attack, but for the Heroic Soul Legion, they can blow up this thin barrier with a single volley... If the Heroic Soul Legion is a regular army, then we are all hooligans who only bully the honest people."

Sonia: "Although we don't consider ourselves messengers of justice, you don't have to say that we are so dirty."

In addition to this reason, Ash is still saving resources to build the 'Alchemy Throne'. After all, this transformation can greatly speed up their absorption of gold magic power. However, they are still lacking a key resource, so they have been suppressing other transformations.

Boom!

The attack from beyond the visual range hit the "Refractive Curtain Wall" again, causing shallow ripples. During the escape, the long-range attacks from the pursuers never stopped, and Ash had to upgrade the "Refractive Curtain Wall" to level 11, otherwise the car would have been shot up long ago.

"Refraction Curtain Wall Level 11: The robot car is wrapped in a curtain wall with 4000 health points, and all damage to the curtain wall is reduced by 42%.

Level 6 special effect: Additional 30% reduction against ranged attacks.

Level 11 special effect: Before determining damage reduction, 22% of the original damage is reflected to nearby non-operator creatures.

The next level requires 1175 ore essence/1175 wood essence/630 mercury essence. 」

When the "Refraction Curtain Wall" is activated, the sports car will only receive (100% - 22%) * (100% - 42% - 30%) = 21.84% damage from ranged attacks. It is precisely because of this powerful damage reduction that they have been able to hold on until now.

But that’s where it ends.

Ash glanced at the health bar of the curtain wall and said, "The curtain wall is about to break. The third plan is about to fail."

Upgrading the "Refractive Curtain Wall" is just a drop in the bucket, and the curtain wall is only meaningful when facing the Heroic Soul Legion. Facing ordinary knowledge creatures, the curtain wall's defense is too outrageous. Just relying on the refraction damage can kill a large group of social creatures.

"Sword Princess, come here."

"What's the meaning?"

"You guys aren't really that stupid to die with me, are you?" Ash said with a smile, "What a waste... If you just kill me quickly, the pursuers behind me will naturally give up. The soul of the "Requiem" spell can be retained, and only I will lose a little soul."

Boom!

The refractive curtain wall trembled and shook, like a candle in the wind that would go out at any moment.

"Come on, you're not the indecisive type."

"Why me?" Sonia pulled Diya over and said, "Witch, let the Red Death come!"

"I can't, I can't!" Diya shook her head repeatedly, "I'm actually very afraid of blood——"

"In terms of the bloodiness of the scene, your normal attacks are almost as good as my bloody and watery attacks. Are you afraid of a small trumpet?" Sonia pushed Diya over: "Use your invincible death line to cut the waist of the spectator!"

“No!” Diya, who is proficient in the fist and claw faction, directly restrained Sonia with her backhand: “Sword Princess, you are more familiar with the viewer, so it’s easier for you to do it!”

"That's the opposite. It's obvious that the less familiar you are, the easier it is to attack. It's hard to attack if you have a good relationship with someone!"

"Anyway, I won't do it. The White Queen told me not to do it, and the Red Death doesn't want to do it either!"

"Wait!" The village girl suddenly thought of a question: "Why don't you just commit suicide yourself? Why do you have to let us do it for you? Do you want us to feel guilty so that you can better control us?"

"Sword Princess, how could you think of me like that!" Ash said angrily, "Do I look like someone who can calculate people's hearts so thoroughly!?"

"It's hard to say. After all, you've known me for such a long time. You will more or less learn some of my good qualities. Birds of a feather flock together."

Damn, what Jian Ji said was so convincing.

"I won't kill you anyway." Sonia broke free from the witch's restraints: "Don't make me do it."

"I won't either." Diya also shook her head: "What if you are jealous of me?"

“Although you won’t actually die in the virtual world, if you actually murder your companions, it feels like you’ve crossed an invisible line.”

Ash was silent for a moment, then he sighed, drew out his sword and pointed it at his abdomen: "Then I can only... Hey!? A special virtual realm area has appeared!"

Sonia: “…What a coincidence.”

Diya: "...The White Queen also thought it was a coincidence."

"Were you trying to test whether we would take action? And then use our guilt as leverage?"

"Viewer, you are really despicable."

Ash decided not to argue with these two black-hearted operators and drove the sports car towards the golden hint area. According to his experience, golden hints were basically very rare areas, such as "Question of Fate", "Isle of Miracles", "Whirlpool", and "Legendary Library".

But this golden tip is a little strange...

"It seems to suit you, but it also seems not to suit you."

Although he felt a little uneasy, Ash still drove into the special area.

It was a wooden building with a small garden outside, and looked like an ordinary farmhouse.

Before entering, Ash emphasized: "Leave the virtual realm immediately after entering, and don't be greedy for the rewards inside. If this place can't stop the Heroic Soul Legion outside, it will be troublesome."

After Sword Lady and Witch nodded heavily, they entered the wooden house together and found that there was nothing mysterious inside - the waxed wooden floor sounded crisp and pleasant when stepped on, the carpet woven with simple patterns made the monotonous rectangular dining table look warm, the stove by the window was placed with kitchen utensils, and various works of art were placed on the handmade shelf.

There is no light source here, but the last thing that Time Continent needs to pay attention to is the light source. The countercurrent Jinyu are all self-employed, and by providing a "door-to-door" service, their business capabilities are not inferior to the Sun, a monopoly that bullies customers.

In addition, there are soft chairs, swings, wooden horses for children, hammocks, lounge chairs... There are unexpectedly many places to sit in the wooden house, suitable for people of all ages from one to one hundred years old, as if the original owner here was a large family with five generations living under the same roof.

"Chairs, so many chairs..." Sonia thought, "I seem to have seen them somewhere before..."

"Yes! I remember now. This is the House of Reflection of the Soul. Its most significant feature is that all magicians who enter here will..."

“…Amnesia.”

When the village girl finished her words, she found a strange man in a dark red windbreaker and a strange girl with strange and dirty hair color appeared next to her.

"Who are you!?" Sonia immediately stepped back and pointed the sword at them: "Don't come near me!"

"I was just wondering who you are?" Ash immediately drew his sword and said, "Why am I here?"

Diya stumbled against the wall, then sat down limply, her expression twisted in pain. She covered her face and muttered to herself, "Who are you... Why are you in my mind... Get out, get out now!"

At this moment, a piece of information emerged in the minds of the three people:

[You have lost all memory of non-knowledge skills]

[You have three precious treasures that have been lost along with your memory]

[If you want to get the treasure back, please answer the three questions asked by 'you']

[Answer incorrectly and you will lose the treasure; answer correctly and you will get an extra reward of the same value as the treasure]

[Giving up answering is equivalent to answering incorrectly; all memories can be retrieved after leaving this room]

['You' is already waiting for you]

The three turned their heads and saw their...

“Now we are the real body.”

Phantom Ash smiled and said, "Because I have your memories, and now you have even forgotten your own name."

Phantom Sonia sat on the mahogany chair with her legs crossed, examining them with sharp eyes: "Shouldn't there be only one person..."

"What does it matter?" Phantom Diya, whose hair was colorful but distinct, swung on the swing and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be more fun if we were all together?"

Ash, Sonia, Diya and the others were so shocked by the scene before them that their brains went blank.

At this moment, Denzel, wearing a spider web robe, pushed open the wooden door and walked into the room, instantly triggering their stress response.

"Who are you?"

"Just like you." Denzel looked at the three strangers in front of him. "People who have lost their memory."

At the same time, Denzel's phantom appears on the recliner.

However, unlike Denzel who was covered by a spider web robe, the phantom Denzel opened his robe, revealing his wheat-colored skin and ambitious breasts. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked heroic as he lay carefree on the recliner.

The three of them realized belatedly that she was a woman?

Phantom Denzel was sleepy. She sat up from the recliner and rubbed her eyes, then looked at her hands as if she had found a treasure. After spending a second sorting out the information, she showed a relieved expression on her face: "Okay..."

"Although there are a lot of people, this won't hinder the progress of the game." Phantom Ash said cheerfully, "But there are too many people. For the sake of convenience, we should give ourselves code names to distinguish ourselves from you who have no names... Well, call me the Observer."

"Sword Princess."

"Should I call you Princess? Or Dead Apostle? Queen seems good too... Forget it, I'll just call you Witch!"

Phantom Denzel thought for a moment and said, "Queen."

"good."

The audience clapped their hands and said, "Who among you will answer your own question first?"
