I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"[I do not associate with any 'person,' and I am not loved by any 'person.']"

"Those born into this world are utterly incomparable to her; she is like a miracle, transcending the mundane."

"[Therefore, her existence can be described as beautiful—]"

"I am deeply moved by the wonder of the human species, that such life could arise unintentionally."

"[This is a level she cannot reach through hard work alone.]"

"[A realm that even those who cultivate demonic arts to their utmost cannot reach.]"

"【It would be an understatement to call it the ultimate, purely alien object.】"

"[To my shame—actually, I envy her.]"

"But you'll probably find it quite ridiculous and laughable, right?"

"In my life, which felt like torture, the only thing I can be proud of besides my friends is meeting her."

"It was a defeat, but the frustration of being defeated was incredibly beautiful."

"At that moment, I also found my firm goal."

"My beloved, please allow me to kneel before you."

"I dedicate myself to saving your soul."

"【This is precisely the opera of me and my friend.】"

"【Diesirae (The Day of Wrath), the Lawbreaker.】"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Prelude to the Reality of the World Slowly Unfolds, Innocent and Pure Killing Intent

Upon hearing this laughter tinged with inexplicable blessings, most of the audience realized that Fujii Ren was being orchestrated by someone behind the scenes in this drama.

This unidentified person is interfering with Fujii Ren behind the scenes, trying to use her to achieve some goal.

【Machine Dragon-Bahamut】: Now it's confirmed that besides the unexpected encounter with Fujii Ren, there's someone behind the scenes arranging for her to achieve some goal.

【Hua Yan Witch】: The beheaded princess mentioned in these words, even if it refers to the girl from before, it seems that the goal to be achieved is related to her, and Fujii Ren needs to do something.

【万有天罗】: Interesting. This time, the mystery of the other world has even aroused great curiosity in me.

[Emilia]: I always felt she wasn't a good person, the kind of guy who secretly takes advantage of unsuspecting girls.

【Parker Meow】: I feel the same way as Leah. Just listening to that voice makes me feel like a scheming clown.

【Bloody Bride】: I'd like to know what's so special about the beheaded princess that this voice describes, and what makes her so special that she's unattainable in the afterlife.

[Vehicle Killer]: I have a feeling that the narcissism of the person upstairs has reached a very bad level.

........

Consciousness is being stretched infinitely, and from the audience's perspective, Fujii Ren arrives at this beautiful place.

—The sea? Before me lies a seaside at dusk, its location unknown.

The sound of waves crashing on the shore, the chirping of birds—a beautiful scene far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The moment the setting sun merges into the sea, dyeing everything red—a fleeting yet vivid instant—is frozen in time.

The sun, seemingly already below the horizon yet never setting, appears both near and far, and the sound of the ocean waves, somewhat detached from reality, echoes in my ears...

"Am I dreaming? That voice just now..."

As Fujii Ren walked on this strange and beautiful beach, the sensation and sound of her footsteps moving across the sand felt so real, like a dream yet so unreal.

This beach area does not belong to Suwahara City, and it should not belong to Japan either.

Some distant, foreign land, and probably not even "now".

Although there is no concrete evidence, Fujii Ren is convinced that this is the case.

But more than the doubts, confusion, and sense of disharmony, and the inexplicable sound from before, what now attracts Fujii Ren even more is the overwhelming and captivating feeling of being overwhelmed by the incredibly beautiful scenery before him.

Because Fujii Ren doesn't dislike this nostalgic atmosphere; no, to be precise, she quite likes this sense of stagnation.

Embedded within is a fleeting beauty under the setting sun, a world frozen in time, where the flow of time does not exist.

Here, there exists only eternal twilight and a sun that never sets. This is a realm beyond day and night, a reality so fragile it seems to crumble at the slightest touch—an unreal reality within reality.

The moment it froze... gave Fujii Ren a sense of comfort and a certain peace.

She settled comfortably on the beach, idly listening to the sound of the waves.

This behavior gave her a strange sense of déjà vu; even though it was the first time she had seen a place, she felt as if she already knew everything about it.

Although it was just an illusion or a dream, to be honest, it didn't feel bad.

Because knowing something means being able to deal with it.

How to escape fear.

How can this pleasure be sustained?

We can make better, more long-term choices regarding all of this.

For Fujii Ren, this sense of knowing was a feeling of security, a comfort akin to being in a cradle.

Is this what her biggest dream is?

[—All of this falls within the realm of what is already known—]

[The desire to keep repeating the same things]

From life to death—

This is what I've been longing for.

Viewers, upon hearing this narration that sounded like Fujii Ren's innermost thoughts, were reminded of the girl's wish to stop time at the very beginning.

Cherish everything around you, have no dissatisfaction with ordinary life, and truly love every moment.

Such a person is quite normal, and their desire is simple and sincere, but it is impossible to truly realize it.

On the continent of Teyvat, inside the Liyue General Affairs Department, Yuheng, one of the seven stars of Liyue, is working overtime.

While watching videos to pass the time, Keqing saw Fujii Ren's simple and unpretentious wish to cherish every moment. Her beautiful purple eyes flickered, and she whispered:

"Everything is already known? Constantly repeating the same things, isn't that like having nothing unknown? Wouldn't such a life drive a person crazy?"

Fujii Ren's desires seem normal, but they are somewhat beyond the realm of normal people.

If what the other person desires were actually realized, and someone else were to experience what Fujii Ren described as repeating the same thing from birth to death, they would most likely be driven insane.

So, with such an intense and twisted desire, is Fujii Ren a normal person?

I don't know much about this girl who is full of secrets. She is being watched by so many extraordinary people in another world. She herself must not be ordinary.

However, this extraordinary quality is precisely the opposite of and in conflict with her wishes.

Most viewers noticed that Fujii Ren's yearning for the ordinary had reached a very profound level.

But this is just someone else's desire, there's no need to judge them too much. Besides, a young girl's desire is not ugly.

The scene continues, and Fujii Ren seems to hear a sound beyond the waves, so he turns his head in the direction of the sound.

"------!"

Just as Fujii Ren turned his head, "she" glanced at his eyes.

The audience involuntarily held their breath, including Fujii Ren; this strange and resonant feeling was magical.

If I had to describe what's before me in one word, it would be mystery. Anyone who encounters her on this beach would be speechless.

The girl's attire was very shabby and ragged, but this simple clothing suited her perfectly, and no other woman, no matter how elaborately she dressed, could match her.

Her beautiful long hair, dyed golden brown by the fiery sunset, and her delicate feet, moving with the elegance of skimming across a wet beach.

Emerald green eyes radiating a calm light, gazing back leisurely.

The girl, as beautiful as a human-shaped gemstone, smiled gently and hummed a song quietly.

Incredibly sweet, incredibly serene, a melody woven from angelic voices.

Monotonous beauty is insufficient to describe this twilight girl wandering on the beach at dusk.

【L'enfantdelapunition (Son of Sin)】—These words unconsciously surfaced in Fujii Ren's mind, and he didn't quite understand their meaning.

The audience was even more confused as to why such a beautiful and charming girl would be called the child of sin.

Why is it that when people see her, these words immediately come to mind?

The language of the song seems to possess an incomprehensible magic, making it difficult for people to hear or understand.

However, the repeated words echoing in my ears... must be an unknown hymn, or some kind of prayer.

Because the girl was so pure, she didn't seem to have any worldly air about her. What else could the song she sang be but a prayer?

A melody never heard before, lyrics never heard before—Fujii Ren didn't know if such things could appear in dreams, but for now, such trivial matters were not worth worrying about.

This dream doesn't seem to be a nightmare.

The girl's beauty was so harmless and touched Lian's heart, that's all, there couldn't possibly be any problems.

but......

【■■■■■■■■】

"————!?"

Suddenly, I felt a sense of disharmony, and this feeling was very ominous.

Did Fujii Ren miss something important?

【■■■■■■■■】

It came again, that feeling, but it came and went quickly, like the tide receding. The feelings of regret and disharmony disappeared from Fujii Ren's heart.

Meanwhile, both the audience and Fujii Ren, who had not understood the meaning of the song until just now, could now hear every word clearly.
