Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Li stared blankly at the information that suddenly appeared in the Demon Eye. Gradually, the Demon Eye was recovering, or rather, it was upgrading. A large amount of new information was constantly flowing into its mind. After obtaining new information sources, the Demon Eye's calculation speed was constantly accelerating, to the point that all he could see were words flying by at the speed of light.

This is strange. My Demon Eyes have never changed like this since I came to this world. What happened? Come to think of it…

A goddess's kin?

Ah, right, I remember now... wasn't that my original skill? That useless goddess finally got to work?

The goddess's intervention was completely unexpected. Normally, no matter how much we messed around, she wouldn't budge. Now, with the world on the verge of destruction, has she finally shown some initiative? Speaking of which, this skill upgrade doesn't seem to have any practical use, right?! There's absolutely no change! Typical useless goddess!

Click, ding. Huh?

The magic eye finally stopped its calculations, not because it had failed, but because the calculations were complete and it had reached a result.

Go ahead and go ahead. Huh? ???

This might be the first time Ry has seen the Mystic Eye offer such an ambiguous solution. It's never happened before; what's going on? This vague solution is actually making things difficult for Ry. Although it seems simple and easy to understand, she can't immediately believe it. It's less a calculation result from the Mystic Eye and more like—

Someone said the same thing to her.

who is it?

She had no idea who was saying those words to her. "Go ahead?" she thought. "Are you kidding me...? Is it really okay?"

To be honest, Li is still somewhat skeptical about this result; it's probably the first thing the goddess she's never met has said to her.

But she probably didn't have a choice.

Then, I'll trust you this once, you useless goddess.

With the power deactivated, the flow of time returned to normal, and the surrounding scenery no longer slowed down. Facing the beam of light slashing towards him, Ryo could only extend his hand, trusting in his own power. Meanwhile, his other self, the mimic, opened his treasure chest and aimed at the cannon fire coming from behind.

Ultimately, Li came into contact with both forces simultaneously. Dragon King Li faced a slash from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, a force filled with the power of slashing. That frenzied power relentlessly approached Li's body, and she desperately used her powers to resist the attack. Space continued to crumble, and Li was also desperately trying to repair the space she was using for defense, but no matter how she repaired it, it would be severed on the spot.

Meanwhile, the situation facing the other self was also quite dire. Seric's hateful bombardment was destructive, and no matter what kind of defense was used, it could not stop its advance. Treasure Chest Rin tried her best to use the space inside her body to contain this power, but the power was so huge that even the space inside her body could not contain it, as if it was going to burst Rin's body.

Faced with the devastation of these two forces, Li had exhausted all her strength, but there seemed to be no end in sight. She was also nearing her limit; the chaotic magic could no longer sustain her spells, and the space around her body was constantly expanding and even cracking. She had run out of strength to resist these forces. She felt that the goddess had offered no effective help whatsoever, and that one sentence mockingly surfaced in her mind.

But since you've already said that...

Ultimately, all of Li's defenses crumbled, and she now had to face the direct impact of these two forces. She didn't care what would happen next.

"Because I'm a mimic monster—!"

boom! ! ! !

The two forces collided, and Li's voice was drowned out by the deafening roar. She felt her entire body being crushed; this was probably what it felt like to be crushed by a hydraulic press maniac. Her whole body was screaming in agony. Her body, after transforming into a dragon king, was extremely resilient, so she wasn't torn apart, but it really hurt...

So... I'm not dead...

It hurts terribly, that's all she feels right now. To be honest, she's in so much pain she's almost losing consciousness. It's a miracle she hasn't died from such power, but it seems she hasn't been able to stop it all from happening...

Haaah… Boom—!

Another deafening roar erupted, far more terrifying than the collision of the two forces. Caught completely off guard, Li's eardrums ruptured upon hearing it, and she lost her hearing. Her senses of touch and hearing were also destroyed... Ah, her vision too; she couldn't open her eyes... But she could inexplicably sense another force approaching.

This force neutralized the power released by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and Seric, and Li finally fell from a place where there was nothing. She vaguely felt that all three forces had disappeared, one of which she recognized very well... it was Ning's hydrogen bomb magic...

Idiot... how could you use that...?

As her consciousness faded, something collided with her, and the thing rolled and crashed to the ground with her.

end

Because of the forceful intervention of the third force, the world's anomalies have been quelled. Whether it was the all-severing light or the ferocious bombardment, all of these have vanished completely. The two moons still hang high in the dark night sky. No, it's already dawn...

The alternation of day and night in this world is a fantastic sight. The light emitted by the two moons gradually changes from azure to golden, and the sky gradually sheds its nighttime pajamas and dons its breakfast clothes. Everything has returned to normal.

"Whoa! Negi! We're going to fall!!"

"I'm trying to figure something out, aren't I!?"

As the Queen was about to crash, many people on the ship had not yet escaped. In the chaos, many people, including Seria, panicked. Negi was frantically fiddling with the scepter in her hand, trying to stabilize the huge mothership. When the anomaly ended, many of the Queen's functions started working again, but it was obviously too late to repair them. She immediately released a large number of airships and threw out nets to pull the Queen down to the ground little by little.

"call……"

After landing safely, Negi breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she had no idea what would happen next, but it was all over now. The sky gradually brightened, and another Noah's Ark brought by Xuanze began to land near the Queen. The lava was receding, but the earth was still scorching hot. People who still had some magic power used water magic to cool the ground before stepping onto the land again.

After that cataclysmic event, the land had undergone a complete transformation. The ground was stained a desolate black, nothing remained, and there was no joy of victory to be felt. Faced with this scene, many were speechless, but some had no choice but to move.

"What are you spacing out for? Get moving!"

This was the first thing Xuanze said after he stepped off the ark.

"I don't have time to stay here with you, Edman! Where are you? Get the search and rescue team organized. Everyone who can move, go find the survivors and bring them back. I don't care which side they're on, bring them all back, understand? Aye! ...Tsk...I almost forgot...Hey, you vampire over there, come here, go find your clan's leader. Be quick, I'm only giving you three minutes, understand?"

Xuanze, the most proactive among them, immediately sprang into action, starting to arrange various follow-up matters. When he called out to Aiye, he clearly showed a very dejected expression, but he quickly composed himself and threw himself into the series of tasks at hand.

Yes, even if it has become like this, it is impossible for it to be gone. The survivors must be somewhere waiting for rescue.

"Um... Sister Finoer..." Chu Chu peeked out somewhat timidly.

“Let’s go,” Finoir patted her head, “Let’s go help too.”

Her younger sister was kind-hearted; without Chu Chu saying a word, she knew what Chu Chu wanted to say, and that was what she wanted to do now. Chu Chu, who had been patted on the head, seemed a little flustered, but she was glad that Finor was willing to help, so she immediately threw herself into the rescue work.

"Oh, let's go! Let's find out who else survived!"

"Speaking of which, where is the ambassador? Quickly, send a few people to look for him."

"Hey! Dabi, come help us, there are a lot of wounded here."

The members of Akihabara took action early on. Under the command of their leader, they used the mothership as a base to expand outwards and search for survivors. Some survivors who were still able to move were also heading in this direction. This series of tasks were carried out in an orderly manner.

"Neki! There's not enough space! Fix some quickly!"

"Oh, I see! I've fixed the lobby! It's ready to use now!"

"Excuse me, excuse me! This person is in critical condition! Is there any doctor who can come and help?"

"I'm here. What happened? Oh my god... this is so serious..."

Shortly after the search and rescue operation began, the seriously injured Hao Er was brought back by the team, along with a sobbing Xia Que. She was no longer capable of harming anyone; she was just an ordinary little girl. She sat in the corridor outside the emergency room, burying her face in her hands and weeping. She truly didn't know what to do; she could only helplessly wait for the outcome.

"Don't worry, that fake priest won't die so easily."

Just then, a somewhat arrogant voice came from beside her. Xia Que slowly raised her head. She didn't know why she heard words that sounded like Chinese. She thought it was a hallucination, but when she raised her head, she saw a black-haired young man dressed in tattered black clothes. The young man stood straight in front of her, looking down at her.

“It’s unbelievable, but you have to accept this fact now, girl. I’m from the same place as you.” Xuanze didn’t bother to explain. “We’ll talk about it properly when that guy comes back. Anyway, you’re safe now.”

Xia Que's face, which had been a mess of tears, finally regained some color, and her eyes revealed disbelief. Indeed, who could have imagined that this series of disasters would be over before she even had a chance to process it? Xuan Ze came to check on Xia Que's condition and to calm her down. He was currently overwhelmed with a mountain of things to deal with and didn't have time to attend to her.

Moreover, there is still no news about another, more important person than her.

"Seria! Have you found them there!?"

"No! Seriously! Where did those two go?! They were clearly around here!"

"Li? Ning? Can you hear me? If you can hear me, answer me!"

“Sister! Sister!!”

"Ambassador! Where are you!?"

This is the place where the Queen suffered the most damage, and also where Li and Ning last appeared. It was here that the two of them engaged in their final battle with Seric, but...

"Can't find..."

In her despair, Xiao unconsciously stopped and uttered these words, her voice low but loud enough for everyone around to hear, for they too felt the same way. Yes, a considerable amount of time had passed since they began their search, and exhausted, they hadn't rested, continuing their search for the two figures.

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the two people, not even a shadow. No matter how they called out, they received no response. So much time had passed without any results. Everyone's heart was filled with gloom, and they had no sense of victory. Of course, it wasn't just them. Many people had lost their lives in this war, and many others had gone missing. But without them, it always felt like something was missing.

Xiao searched helplessly, her hands cutting from sharp shards, but she didn't stop. She fought back tears, her petite figure appearing even smaller than usual. The commotion nearby grew louder; Saiwei was searching even more desperately. His actions were ruthless, his eyes unwavering, as if he wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

The people around them watched the two of them silently throw themselves into the search and rescue work once again. This time, they put aside any other thoughts and devoted themselves completely to it. They had to believe that the two people were still there.

"Seria, do you still have magic?" Ister approached Seria from the side.

“It’s recovered a bit, what’s wrong?” Seria answered while continuing to search.

“Come and help me.” East pointed to a large piece of debris on the side. “It’s too heavy to lift.”

Seria looked at it; it was indeed an astonishingly large fragment. Ister's armor magic was currently depleted, limiting his capabilities. If they could break this fragment before moving it, it would be much easier. Seria nodded, pulled out the silver spear she was using as a lever, and then, supporting herself, shakily stood up.

The two of them activated their magic together, using the black blade shield and silver spear to destroy the huge fragment in one fell swoop. Small fragments were scattered everywhere after the destruction. Everyone began to move the broken fragments. Xiao's ears, who was rummaging through the fragments at the other end, suddenly twitched. She ran from one end to the other in an instant and frantically searched through the fragments. She didn't say a word, but everyone gathered around the moment they saw her move.

"Quick! Everyone come and help!"

"Have you figured it out yet!?"

"It's only a possibility! But! Trust Xiao!"

Everyone saw Xiao as their last straw, their last hope. They prayed that the two people they were searching for would be here, desperately trying to survive, squeezing out the last bit of strength they had left...

"found it……"

Xiao worked even harder after smelling that familiar scent. After moving the last piece of shard blocking her way, she saw the suitcase that was crushed by the shard. Only she could have kept the suitcase intact under such severe conditions.

"Found it...found it!!!"

Xiao shouted almost wildly with joy. After hearing her exclamation, everyone's eyes were drawn to her, and then they cheered loudly. It was already noon, and they had finally found her. Some people excitedly hugged the person next to them and cried on the spot, while others rushed to Xiao's side like madmen, and still others ran around the field shouting.

Saiwei was the first to rush to Xiao's side. When he saw the intact suitcase, he knelt down on the spot, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put down.

When Seria and Easter arrived and saw the suitcase, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this was better than anything else. However, where was the other person? Easter approached the suitcase and found it was open. He immediately opened it, and out of the suitcase fell the two people they had been searching for—

Reason and peace.

Both women bore injuries of varying degrees, and their clothes had inevitably been damaged in the attack. The girls quickly chased away the surrounding men and found blankets to cover them. Li's injuries were extremely severe, far worse than when she was captured and taken to the enemy camp. Although Ning was not as badly injured, these injuries would still be fatal to most people.

Thank goodness, neither of them is seriously injured.

"Hurry! Send them back! Find Chuchu!"

"Make way! Make way! Boys, don't come near here!"

She vaguely woke up, staring blankly at the pure white room. She didn't recognize this unfamiliar room, and given her interests, she wouldn't have decorated an entire room in pure white. So where was she? She wasn't quite sure herself, and her consciousness was still in a hazy state.

In a daze, she realized that her hair had turned black. She gently stroked her hair and realized that her body was no longer the Dragon King's body from Laelfa, but the somewhat thin body from Earth, only healthier than she remembered. The clothes she was wearing were the same uniform she wore in junior high school.

Where am I?

Li couldn't understand what was happening at this moment. Why was his body back to the state it was in on Earth, but much better than before?

If the Mystic Eyes didn't activate properly, then we can rule out the possibility that this is another world...

Thinking of this, Li suddenly felt a little lost. At this moment, she didn't exist in that world of her memories. The situation with the Demon Eyes also told her from another perspective that perhaps all of this was just a dream, but...

"Was that really a dream...?"

Li stared blankly at the ceiling and asked himself this question.

Everything she experienced in that world felt so real, and she still remembers the people who were by her side, and they all have her names clearly.

Nao, Leilefa, Zhou Dong, Olito, Xia Shu, Xia Ling, Mo Yueya, Seria, Ister, Wu Ke, Saiwei, Xuanze, Aiye, and so on...

Of course, there are also the two most important people... Xiao and Ning.

She remembered every single detail of what she had experienced with them. How could such an experience be fake?

Come to think of it... this is like a revolving lantern...

Li suddenly realized this.

Memories of my life keep replaying in my mind; everything is so vivid... It's over...

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

I...don't want to die...

She hadn't even lived in the other world for a year, but it felt like a very long time had passed. But it was all over, and she was so reluctant to leave. This time, the situation was different. She wanted to live, but what could she do now?

"Calm down, stop crying."

A girl in a pure white dress suddenly appeared in the room, gently comforting her. Li felt as if she recognized her somewhere before, yet also felt as if she had never seen her before.

"Ahem... Well, it's like this, you must have met me once before."

As if knowing the question in Rin's heart, she answered it immediately. At that moment, Rin realized that this person might be...

"That's right, I am the goddess. Long time no see." She smiled calmly.

"I want to go back."

"..."

The first thing Li said was this. She didn't care what had happened before or what had happened afterward. All she wanted now was to go back. She didn't care about being a goddess or anything like that. She just wanted to go back to that world.

"...We have something to say to each other, and we only have one minute left."
