Chapter 123 Bai Xiaoxiao's Curse - The Origin of Love Brain
"This is……"
The obsidian box was opened, and the foul-smelling black water filled the inside of the box. The skeletons of several unknown worms floated on the surface. Bai Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to throw the box away. She took off the pearl-penciled hairpin that was holding up her black hair, reached into the black water and poked it back and forth a few times. The tip of the hairpin poked something soft. She was startled but did not stop. She poked left and right, and roughly poked out a shape - like the shape of a little man.
Doll?
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly poured out the worm corpses and black water from the black box. White smoke rose from the ground, making a crackling sound like corrosion. She looked at the obsidian box and saw that there was indeed a doll that looked and dressed exactly like the White Queen. There was also a piece of white satin tied around the doll's neck, which was very tight, as if it was going to break the doll's neck.
She took out a tinder, threw the doll with the "curse" printed on it into the fire, and watched with her own eyes as the cursed doll turned to ashes.
But there is a second doll in this obsidian box.
Bai Xiaoxiao picked up the doll that looked exactly like her, or rather, the doll that looked exactly like 'Bai Xiaoxiao'.
"What's going on?"
She frowned and asked 666 who was flapping his wings beside her.
666 laughed: "I'm... not really sure, ahahaha, hahahaha..."
Bai Xiaoxiao let out a light click of her tongue and continued to study the doll.
It is so lifelike that it is not an exaggeration to say that a smaller version of her was carved.
but why……?
She didn't understand why 'Bai Xiaoxiao' was casting a curse, and what enemies 'she' might have?
and……
Bai Xiaoxiao studied the puppet over and over again, but could not find any damage on the cursed puppet. It was intact, with nothing missing or extra, just like an ordinary puppet.
But this is impossible!
"Host, stop researching and let's find a way out."
666 said as he circled around her, flapping his wings.
Bai Xiaoxiao gave it a forced smile, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to study the spell puppet seriously.
It's not enough to just study the doll, she has to figure out what's wrong with herself.
But there's nothing wrong.
Every day she would go to bed when the rooster crowed and get up early when the sun set. She would live thirteen hours out of twelve, skipping breakfast and never missing a midnight snack.
If I had to say where there were any flaws, it would be nothing more than the heartache of her character collapsing. She...
etc!
Bai Xiaoxiao stared at the little figure in her hand, and conjured up a small knife made of ice crystals out of thin air.
'Host, what are you doing?!'
Bai Xiaoxiao ignored 666's suddenly raised voice, and stabbed the ice crystal knife at the heart of the cursed doll, digging out the heart of the cursed doll bit by bit along the edge. During this process, her own heart was also aching slightly from some irresistible force.
Finally, when she could no longer hold on and was about to faint, she finally dug open the heart of the cursed doll, and a small, bright red crystal that looked like a beating heart suddenly appeared. She took out the bright red crystal and placed it in her palm to observe it. She saw that the small heart was engraved with a line of birth data - the ninth day of the first lunar month in the Jiazi year*.
She had never seen this birth date, but the name 'Que Tianwen' immediately popped up in her mind.
"Que Tianwen's...birthdate...?"
Then why engrave it on her heart?
Could it be that... this is the secret of love brain?
As soon as this thought came to mind, a silent electronic sound suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaoxiao's mind.
(Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest - exploring the secrets of 'Love Brain')
(Reward - Diversity of Characters)
Bai Xiaoxiao listened to the task and reward in a daze. The crystal heart in her hand suddenly shattered, and the spell puppet suddenly burst into golden light.
The dazzling golden light was not scorching, but rather gentle and soothing.
Bai Xiaoxiao slowly lowered the hands that were covering her eyes and found herself standing in a space wrapped in golden light. There was no cold altar, no annoying maze, and no System 666 that followed her all the time.
Is she in some kind of illusion again?
"No~"
A playful voice came over.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the voice and found a girl who looked exactly like her standing opposite her. "It's you..." She immediately knew who this girl was. "Sorry..."
After thinking about it, she seemed to have a lot to say.
But until the end, it seemed that this was all she could say.
“Haha~”
The girl in the yellow dress arched her eyebrows and laughed happily. She floated in front of Bai Xiaoxiao and held her hand. "It's exactly the same, just like looking in the mirror."
"sorry……"
In front of the real person, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to have only this to say.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. You are me and I am you."
'Bai Xiaoxiao' kept circling around her, as if she couldn't admire her enough.
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and whispered, "But, I was the one who took your body... Otherwise, you would still be alive..."
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Actually, before you, three souls have already possessed this body."
"ah?"
"Yes, three. But those three didn't seem to have much ability. Either they were discovered and treated as monsters, or they drooled over the handsome men they saw and flirted with them. Anyway, none of them had a good ending."
Seeing that the floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' spoke as if nothing had happened, Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to make a statement about someone's love-brained constitution, but since she was the one who was not in the right, she opened her mouth and fell silent.
"You want to talk about me."
Seeing her hesitation to speak, the floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' reached out and pinched her face. "That's right, I suddenly fell in love with Que Tianwen after my coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen. It was the kind of love that made me anxious and anxious whenever I couldn't see him, and I wanted to kill myself in front of him. I would give him anything he wanted, anything he liked, with both hands. It seemed that only when I saw him smile at me could I feel better."
"It doesn't sound like... you don't like it, right?"
Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated and expressed her doubts.
"It's true that they didn't look alike, but I just liked him very much at that time."
"Then?"
Bai Xiaoxiao grasped the key words, "Now what?"
The floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' smiled at her, then stood up straight with her hands on her hips: "Que Tianwen, you fucking bastard, I must have been blind to fall for you, you bastard, I bastard, he bastard!!!"
Bai Xiaoxiao's mind is now full of "beep beep——".
"call--"
After expressing all the resentment she had harbored for eight lifetimes, the floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' let out a long sigh, "That feels so fucking good!"
so what……
Bai Xiaoxiao proved with facts that she no longer liked Que Tianwen.
Not only do I dislike it, but I also feel great resentment towards it.
But why, could it be...
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the spell puppet in her palm: "Is it because of this?"
"Yes, that's why."
The floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' puffed out her lips in annoyance. "I only found out after I died that the reason I liked Que Tianwen so much was because of this lousy kid. I told you, no matter how much I like someone, I wouldn't risk my life for them. I'd still sell him for 2.58 million."
"But why you?"
"I don't know either."
Speaking of this floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao', she instantly lost her temper. "I know I've been tricked, and I won't be able to reincarnate after death. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in darkness forever."
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a little distressed as she squatted down and patted the floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' on the head. The floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' nudged her palm like a kitten, then suddenly grabbed her as if remembering something. "Oh right! Be careful! The first three souls that entered my body said and did all sorts of things, but in the end, they all disappeared for unknown reasons, and then everyone seemed to have forgotten what they looked like."
"I finally found someone I liked, and I didn't want you to disappear like that."
Bai Xiaoxiao knew she was talking about the missions issued by the system. 'Disappearing' and 'Forgetting' were probably punishments for not completing a mission or crossing a line. Her heart ached, and she quickly asked, "Do you know what missions they all have to complete?"
The floating version of 'Bai Xiaoxiao' tilted her head. "I don't understand a word they're saying, but it seems like that Six wants them to help someone. It's like... like an immortal going through a tribulation."
Tribulation... ?
It feels like there is a truth that is about to break through the fog.
But immediately, a brilliant golden light emanated from the floating version of Bai Xiaoxiao. Bai Xiaoxiao looked at it and said with a grin, "Looks like I have to leave now."
"Um."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her with a smile and suddenly said, "Then in this world, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Bai Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes."
She came to Bai Xiaoxiao, looked into her eyes, and said slowly, word by word, "I have three wishes."
"First, I hope my parents are healthy and safe."
"Second, I hope that the whole country of Yue will be peaceful and prosperous."
"third……"
She held Bai Xiaoxiao's face in her hands and slowly lowered her head to touch her forehead.
"I want you to be well. From now on, I am you and you are me. Don't blame yourself. Live well. Live well for me, for us."
"It's really nice to meet you, Bai, Xiao, Xiao."
Bai Xiaoxiao only felt a little sore in her eyes. Her soul, which had been wandering for a long time, was finally recognized and found its home. She opened her mouth and was about to say "OK", but suddenly she felt dizzy, her vision went black, and her heart ached. Before she fainted, she seemed to see the light yellow girl saying something nervously.
yes……
What……?
…
[The system is being repaired...]
【System repair completed...】
'It was really hard to find the right person.'
'Yes, I understand, and I won't make that mistake again.'
