Chapter 133 Xiawei Temple avoided offending or defiling her
[...It's finally over...]
[Sigh... How come these two male guests on this reality show are both so miserable? Most of the other guests on "Heartbeat 1000%" are the kind who deserve what they got...]
[Because the butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost did objectively commit a large number of acts of killing, which aligns with the rules of the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team for recruiting guest participants from outside.]
While standardized screening procedures ensure efficiency and a degree of fairness, they also suffer from a lack of flexibility.
[If... never mind, it's pointless for me to say anything; I can't even send a comment.]
[The butter flower monk and the headless stone ghost are extremely rare cases. After this episode, it's estimated that the entire "Heartbeat 1000%" program will never find another episode with two such guest stars.]
[Is it dawn on the snow-capped mountain? Let me check how long this special memory illusion has lasted in the "Xiawei Temple" instance program. It's also a day and a half, roughly thirty-six hours!]
Yu Naixin entered the special memory illusion of the headless stone ghost at dusk on the second day in "Xiawei Temple".
Now that she has emerged from the illusion, the sky at the venue is much brighter. Yu Naixin can immediately recognize that this is the kind of sky that only appears on the morning of the third day of "Xiawei Temple".
Yu Naixin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the time again using the system screen.
The worst didn't happen; she still has almost two full days to use.
The deadline for "Xiawei Temple" was 4:30 a.m. on the fifth day. Although Yu Naixin could have stayed in the episode a little longer if she wanted, she didn't have that idea.
Throughout this episode, from the simulator to the real-life scenario, Yu Naixin was constantly rushing to keep up with the schedule.
Having finally reached this point, Yu Naixin is eager to realize her goals as soon as possible.
Reaching out, Yu Naixin picked a rehmannia flower from beside the cave entrance.
The Rehmannia glutinosa flowers naturally grow here in the snow, so there's no need for special planting and watering steps; they are of the highest quality and freshest.
This illusionary realm, which carries the past of the headless stone ghost, is not only filled with tragic suffering, but also preserves the excited surprise and gratitude of countless pilgrims whose wishes have been fulfilled, as well as the purest joy of children from over a thousand years ago when they tasted the sweetness of the "honey pot".
These nutrients became part of the snow around the cave entrance, making the Rehmannia glutinosa flowers that had absorbed the snowmelt from this place exceptionally vibrant and beautiful.
Looking at the pink and white flowers in her hand, Yu Naixin smiled silently.
Whether it's the butter flower monk or the headless stone ghost, they all do something remarkably consistent in their efforts to protect everything around them while completely unaware of their surroundings.
In terms of the total amount of resentment, the illusion created by the headless stone ghost is undoubtedly greater than that created by the butter flower monk.
After all, the population on the plateau is sparse and scattered, while the area around the grottoes is densely populated with both civilians and Japanese pirates.
However, Yu Naixin still emerged unscathed. None of the plans she had prepared to deal with the invasion of resentment were realized, rendering them useless.
If we must point out the difference, the butter flower monk's perspective is to minimize harm to innocent people, while the headless stone ghost's perspective is similar to "If I don't go to hell, who will?", with all pain and suffering directed at him.
Yu Naixin no longer needs to issue a command through the consciousness link. When the priest folding fan sees its master's appearance, it knows what she wants it to do and immediately flies to Yu Naixin's feet, carrying Yu Naixin vertically down the snow mountain.
In a blind spot at the foot of the mountain, where it was impossible to see, the priest carefully placed Yu Naixin down with his folding fan, and then continued to hide in the shadows.
Yu Naixin was very satisfied with this special magical artifact, which showed great insight and understanding.
The remaining path down the snow mountain wasn't too difficult. Yu Naixin arrived at the cave of the headless stone ghost and, unsurprisingly, saw the butter flower monk who had been waiting for her to emerge from the illusion.
Without Yu Naixin as a stabilizer, the headless stone ghost naturally disliked the butter flower monk when facing him alone.
This was not only because of the previous grudges between the two, but more importantly, the butter flower monk was also a person with blood on his hands. Sensing this, the headless stone ghost, who was still a bodhisattva at heart, would certainly not have a good attitude towards the butter flower monk.
However, these two male guests had already clashed too many times. Even the headless stone ghost knew that fighting the butter flower monk would be pointless. The butter flower monk's status as a monk also had a certain suppressive effect on the headless stone ghost, which maintained the precarious balance.
Before the headless stone ghost could go berserk again, the butter-flower monk voluntarily retreated to a distance of twenty or thirty meters from the cave entrance, stood in the snow, closed his eyes, and continuously chanted sutras and prayed for Yu Naixin in his heart.
Yu Naixin walked down from the top. The dark red of the butter monk was still easy to spot in the white snow. She smiled and stepped forward, tiptoed, and patted the butter monk's shoulder: "Master, I'm back."
His actions and tone were exactly the same as when Yu Naixin said to the butter flower monk before she left, "Wait for me to come back."
With the butter flower monk's perception, he had already sensed Yu Naixin's safe return when she was almost close to him.
But he did not open his eyes.
Yu Naixin was in such good condition that it didn't seem like she had embarked on an adventure into an extremely dangerous predicament, but rather like she had simply gone up a snow-capped mountain to enjoy the scenery.
The butter-flower monk was genuinely terrified. The unharmed Yu Naixin was merely an illusion created by his delusions. Any slight movement from him would shatter this beautiful dream into nothingness.
Until Yu Naixin patted his shoulder.
A sweet, cheerful voice rang out, as if in a fleeting moment it transported him from several feet of ice and snow to the season of spring warmth and blooming flowers.
Almost uncontrollably, the butter monk felt a surge of bittersweet emotion welling up in his eyes.
He opened his eyes and, through the blurry, tear-filled light, saw Yu Naixin's clear smiling face.
Butter Flower Monk: "..."
The butter-flower monk's Adam's apple bobbed forcefully, and he responded in a slightly choked voice, "...You're back."
[!!! I swear, this scene is divine! Anyone disagree?! This kind of scene only happens in iconic moments of pure romance movies! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing! It's both ambiguous and tender, both turbulent and serene!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 20 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Ice Jasmine"!]
[Oh my god... he really loves her! I knew the butter monk's feelings for the female guest were definitely high, but I didn't expect them to be this strong! That tear couldn't be faked; it was a completely genuine expression of the butter monk's feelings!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 5 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Awan"!]
[Wait a minute, something's not right. The Butter Monk is acting like this towards the Little Witch, what happened to the system notification that he has a high level of affection for her? The male guests who had a high level of affection for the Little Witch in the previous two instances were behaving similarly to the Butter Monk!]
I also find it very strange.
The butter-flower monk was already completely and wholeheartedly fond of Yu Naixin.
But just like in the last simulation, the more he learned about Yu Naixin's beauty, the more the butter monk felt unworthy of her.
Therefore, he tried his best to control his feelings for her, so as not to offend or taint her.
The experience of the two special memory illusions led Yu Naixin to develop the habit of frequently checking the audience's comments on the system screen. Seeing so many people discussing the butter monk's favorability rating, Yu Naixin, the person involved, didn't seem to care about that.
Yu Naixin has always been someone who knows exactly what she wants. She has a clear goal for participating in this reality show, which does not include gaining favor with the two male guests.
After reporting her safety to the monk who made butter sculptures, Yu Naixin immediately went to the cave where the headless stone ghost lived and gave him the rehmannia flower she was holding.
Also, observe whether the headless stone golem changes after she experiences the entire special memory illusion.
The headless stone ghost's demonic possession was far more severe than that of the butter flower monk. Originally a living bodhisattva with a pure and kind heart, the headless stone ghost was suddenly forced into a living hell. The blow it suffered was far more intense than the dull, grinding torture inflicted on the butter flower monk.
At least the butter flower monk had a process that could be considered gradual, but the headless stone ghost had absolutely no buffer zone.
Yu Naixin really hoped that by walking through the illusion of the headless stone ghost, Mr. Stone could regain some of his senses.
The headless stone goblin's current appearance is arguably the one he least wanted to see when he was conscious.
After calming herself down a bit, Yu Naixin smiled brightly and stepped into the cave: "Mr. Stone! I've come to see you!"
