The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

Chapter 112: A Girl Named Lin (Part 2)

"So, what's going on with those people who are surrounding us?" Wang Chen asked.

Lin frowned and thought for a while, then explained: "As I said before, this world is a space similar to a game. We are the players, and Sister Ying and the villagers are the NPCs. And those guys are players just like us. But those players have gone... crazy."

"Crazy?" Wang Chen muttered.

"Yes. It was you, Sister Jiuxiao, who told me all this. At that time..." Lin then began to explain.

It turns out that before Jiuxiao entered this space, the players had already suffered from this space. Because every failure, death, and pain was so real, it was enough to drive those students who had not yet experienced the world completely crazy. In order to get out of this world, they did everything they could. In the end, one of them finally discovered that as long as the sacrifice was a little girl under the age of 12, they could successfully meet the clearance conditions and leave this world.

So those people went completely crazy, first plundering and harming the few little girls in the village, and then offering them as sacrifices to the gods to get themselves out of trouble. Later, because the supply was insufficient to meet the demand, these people even fought and killed each other for the little girls. It was just such a period when Penglai Temple Jiuxiao entered the space.

After understanding the current situation and the rules of the game, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao knew that the trap set by this monster was to completely dehumanize these students. Therefore, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao tried her best to stop all this and wanted to stop them from killing each other, but no matter her words or actions, they were ineffective. She could no longer stop those completely crazy and bloodthirsty students.

Therefore, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao made a bold move. That was to destroy the sacrificial venue with her own hands during that reincarnation, causing everyone's efforts to fail. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao even said in front of everyone that as long as she was there, you would not be able to make sacrifices in this way.

And because of this incident, everyone stopped fighting over those girls. For them, as long as they continued to use little girls as sacrifices, they would be able to get out sooner or later. After all, they had died so many times that they had already become accustomed to such a feeling of death.

On the other hand, the behavior of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao will only continue to torture them and they will never be able to leave and continue to suffer. Although they have gotten used to it, it does not mean that they are masochists who like to stay here and suffer the torture of being swallowed by flames and bitten by monsters. Therefore, they all united and pointed their spearheads at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao didn't care about their actions against him, because he knew very well that these people had been tortured by the two monsters and had lost their mental state and correct moral judgment and value judgment. And it just so happened that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao didn't intend to watch those little girls being sacrificed. In this way, as long as he destroyed the sacrificial ceremony, he could save the little girl and prevent those students from killing each other. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was naturally happy to do it.

In short, after this incident, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was targeted and hunted by those students. They would basically choose to kill Jiuxiao first, send Jiuxiao into reincarnation, and then think about the things in this reincarnation. And what happened just now was that when the two were exploring the village, they ran into those students again, and were surrounded and hunted by the monsters summoned by those students. In the end, they jumped into the river to escape.

At this point, Wang Chen had a general idea of ​​what happened to the students of Qianyu Academy before he arrived, and what Jiuxiao had experienced. Then, Wang Chen asked, "So, what we need to do now, in addition to stopping those people from killing each other and sacrificing the little girl, is to find other ways to pass the level, right?"

"Well, this is basically the information I know. How about it, Sister Jiuxiao, have you remembered anything? Like what should we do next? Now that you have a little helper like me, you can find more clues. And you can also get more props." Lin put her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to praise me.

"Of course, you are the best, and you are worthy of being my savior's partner." Wang Chen praised without hesitation, imitating Jiuxiao's tone.

"Hehe~ The familiar sister Jiuxiao is back. Anyway, after taking a shower, we will try to lead those guys to the back mountain, and then enter the village to collect clues, and by the way, see where those little girls were kidnapped by them." Lin said with a smile.

However, after a while, Lin asked curiously, "Speaking of partners, Sister Jiuxiao, when you were telling a story last night, the partner named 'Ai Bo' you mentioned, will he really come here and save us all?"

"Aibo? It should be aibo." Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Yes, that's Aibo." Lin nodded, and then said, "I saw it clearly at that time. When you mentioned that partner, your expression was more beautiful than ever. You were full of confidence. You also said that maybe in this world, there really is a way to pass the level without hurting anyone. But you don't believe that those two monsters will let us reach such an ending easily. Even if they can, leaving this space does not mean we can return to the real world. So you said that we must maintain our original intentions in this world, keep struggling, and wait for external help to come in."

"You said that once that guy named Aibo arrives, he will completely defeat those two monsters and truly save everyone." Lin said with a look of sparkling eyes, "Sister Jiuxiao is already so powerful, so how powerful will the omnipotent Aibo that Sister Jiuxiao mentioned be? I'm really looking forward to it."

"..." Wang Chen was silent. Firstly, it was because Lin Ru's look of looking forward to rescue today was in stark contrast to her appearance of murdering villagers and trying to kill Yaezakura, but was almost strangled to death by him. Secondly, he had failed the trust that Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple had placed in him without reservation.

Now Jiuxiao has become a puppet, and I am late. Although I immediately chased after Jiuxiao after the accident, chasing Jiuxiao's consciousness. However, due to the difference in the flow speed of the world of consciousness and the flow speed of the outside world, and the frustration of the Corrosion Ruler, I was swallowed and lost consciousness. When I finally came to this world, I had missed Jiuxiao.

"I will definitely rescue you Jiuxiao... I swear!" Wang Chen clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly.

"The hot water is ready." At this time, Yaezakura came over and said.

"You go first, Lin. I still have something to discuss with Miss Miko." Wang Chen said.

"Okay, then I won't disturb my two sisters. Lin will go first." Lin took a step forward and ran towards the kitchen.

Now, Wang Chen and Yaezakura were the only ones left in the courtyard. Seeing that Wang Chen did not speak immediately, Yaezakura took the initiative to speak: "Tell me, what's the matter? If there is nothing, I still need to help Lin prepare some clothes."

"Your sister Rin did not die of illness, but was killed by you personally. I didn't..." Before Wang Chen finished his words, he heard a "ding" sound, and the tip of the sword was already pointing at Wang Chen's neck.

Chapter 113 Interrogation

Wang Chen was not surprised at all when he saw Yaezakura pointing the knife at him. He already knew from Lin that Yaezakura lied to her. The reason was very simple. She was afraid of losing her "sister" again and being hated by her "sister".

It's very strange, isn't it? In her own reincarnation, when faced with Lin's hatred and assassination, Yae Sakura was willing to accept her "sister's" revenge because of her guilt. But now, she is afraid that her "sister" will hate her and that she will lose her "sister".

But in Wang Chen's opinion, this is nothing more than the truest portrayal of Yaesakura's innermost heart. She regrets the sins she has committed and has a self-destructive tendency, but she also longs to break free from the sins and hope that someone can pull her out of the abyss. She longs to live a happy life again.

And it was precisely because of this that when Yae Sakura took Lin to her deceased sister, she was afraid of losing her happiness again. No one wants to return to such a place after climbing out of the abyss. Therefore, Wang Chen's words, in Yae Sakura's view, were tantamount to trying to pull herself back into the abyss.

"Where did you get the news! Does Lin know about it?" Yaezakura asked harshly. This was the first time Wang Chen saw Yaezakura almost out of control.

"What if she knows? What if she doesn't know?" But Wang Chen didn't care about Yaezakura at the moment. His eyes were like torches, staring directly at Yaezakura's eyes that seemed to be sharp. Then Wang Chen continued to speak: "If Lin knew, how do you think she would look at you? If Lin didn't know, what would you do to me? Are you going to stab me here like you are doing now?"

As he said that, Wang Chen took a step forward, letting his neck hit the tip of the knife. Yaezakura was shocked when she saw this, but was forced back a step by Wang Chen's desperate move. Her expression was no longer as sharp as before, and she began to panic. In the end, she could only raise her voice and shout: "Are you crazy!"

"Look, you actually know everything. You know the answer to my question." Wang Chen did not show any sign of backing down. Instead, he became aggressive and continued, "You won't stab me, at least not now. Just like you did in the past. You can neither be a cold executioner nor a good sister who is cruel enough to take her away from her!"

“Stop talking! Stop talking!” Yaezakura smashed the sword to the ground, and stuck it in the floor between Wang Chen’s legs. Wang Chen looked down, but he was not afraid. Instead, he sighed and said, “I said so much, but Miss Miko, you haven’t hurt me at all. This is not gentleness and tolerance... You should know what this is called.”

"You... do you want me to hurt you?" Yaesakura panted, her eyes slightly red. She suppressed her emotions and said.

"Well, only in this way can it mean that you are determined to protect your current happiness and do not want this hard-earned happiness to be destroyed. Eradicate all unstable factors." Wang Chen said lightly, "Only in this way can you protect Lin, Miss Miko. Only in this way will you not be forced to kill the person you want to protect again because of hesitation and too many constraints."

"You..." Yae Sakura was speechless for a moment. She wanted to refute the strange girl in front of her, but found that she couldn't utter a single word. Deep in her heart, she had already unconsciously accepted the other party's words. The other party was right. Obviously, the other party said such excessive words, even exposing Yae Sakura's past scars, but in the end, she couldn't even tolerate it. She couldn't vent her emotions at all, and she couldn't do the paranoia and madness of wanting to maintain this happiness.

This is not gentleness and tolerance...but hesitation and cowardice.

It was because I was not firm enough and did not stand by Lin's side and take Lin away at the first time that I had to lead to the tragedy. Therefore, I could only remain silent...silent to Wang Chen's words; silent to the sins I committed; and finally, silent to Lin, the sister I finally got back.

It is a simple truth: either explode in silence or perish in silence.

"So... are you forcing me?" Yaesakura adjusted her breathing and then asked.

"It's not me who wants to force Miss Miko. It's you who have to force yourself." Wang Chen said slowly, "It's better to force yourself than to be forced by others in the end. At least, you make the choice for yourself, not for others."

"..." Yaezakura was silent again. After a moment of silence, Yaezakura said: "Then... I will force myself once. Excuse me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of high-fives. Wang Chen felt a burning pain on his right cheek, but he smiled and said, "Well, this slap is not bad. This way, I can rest assured that Lin will stay with you."

"You are really a weirdo. Kyushu of Penglai Temple." After retracting her palm, Yaezakura sighed.

"Are you feeling better?" Wang Chen asked.

"Well... I do feel a lot more relaxed after venting it all." Yaezakura nodded and said.

"That's good. So, I hope you can remember what I'm going to say next. When there is any voice that wants to destroy your hard-earned happiness like just now, just deal with it like this. Anyone who wants to hurt Lin should be hit hard." Wang Chen raised his thumb and made his signature move, then said.

"...I understand." Yaezakura thought for a while, and finally nodded, with a glimmer of determination in her eyes. Then she said, "You know what happened in the past. I guess you heard it from the village. They have been discussing holding the festival again, like they did before, and offering a girl again to please the gods."

"I really don't like this kind of thing, but I am powerless to change it. Even if I don't become the executor, they will conceal it and torture those children beyond recognition before offering them to the gods. Rather than this, it is better for me to grant them a painless death in the end. At least they will die easily."

"As far as I know, there should be no one in this village who can be a match for you, Miss Yaesakura. Why do you still have to listen to those villagers? You no longer owe them anything and can live for yourself." Wang Chen asked.

"..." Yaezakura did not answer this question for a long time. In the end, she only left one sentence and turned away. "This village is deeply cursed. I can't escape... nor can I resist. However, I have remembered your words. Maybe I will make some changes in the end."

After saying that, Yaezakura pulled out the sword stuck in the ground and left Wang Chen's sight. Not long after she left, Wang Chen's expression on his face changed.

"Everything that just happened... is it Jiuxiao's own memory?" Wang Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It turned out that what happened just now was not the appearance of Jiuxiao that Wang Chen had deliberately played. Wang Chen's perspective changed, and he was looking at the body of Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple and the conversation between himself and Yaezakura.

"It seems that Jiuxiao must have discovered something, so she started to question Yaezakura about what happened in the past. Was she saying that she wanted to stop Yaezakura from holding the ceremony? Was she resisting the Yaezakura sacrifice?" Wang Chen pondered.

Chapter 114: Jiuxiao's Growth

After experiencing the changes just now, in addition to understanding Jiuxiao's next move in his memory, Wang Chen unexpectedly discovered that the body he had transformed into now had vaguely developed a new consciousness of its own, and that was Jiuxiao's consciousness.

It seems that there are some fragments of consciousness hidden in this memory scene. Those fragments of consciousness were also misled into thinking that they were Jiuxiao's main consciousness, so they were absorbed and aggregated to form a new consciousness. Wang Chen didn't have to worry about this consciousness. Jiuxiao's consciousness was very close to him, especially now that the mind sources were fused with each other, and he listened to him very much.

Moreover, this new consciousness can play the role of Jiuxiao better than myself, thus helping me improve the synchronization rate between this body and Jiuxiao. In this way, I can also better find the location of Jiuxiao's main consciousness. Well, in a sense, playing Jiuxiao has been able to change from active role playing to hosting mode again.

"If possible, it is not impossible to use Wanhua's ability to speed up the process." Wang Chen thought of this again, but he could not use the power of Mind Source for the time being.

"Then let the body follow the path in Jiuxiao's memory. It's also a good opportunity to see what happened in the next period of time to cause Jiuxiao to become what he is now." Wang Chen's consciousness began to sink, allowing the newly born consciousness to temporarily take over his actions. At the same time, Wang Chen began to observe whether there were any fragments of consciousness in the surrounding space, ready to absorb them.

After the newly born consciousness took over the body, it began to act according to the trajectory in its memory. After waiting for Lin to finish washing, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple also cleaned his body, changed into clean clothes, and took Lin to the back mountain.

The two of them stepped into the back mountain area outside the regulations without hesitation. But for Jiuxiao, the spatial structure of this area had been explored very clearly by her. Soon, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao took Lin to find a cave, and then said: "This is where the monsters in the back mountain stay. You can regard it as a monster spawning point. The monsters will refresh here once a day, so even if the monsters were dealt with yesterday, it will refresh again at noon today, and then cause trouble to the village in the afternoon, causing the witch to stay in the back mountain in the afternoon every time to deal with the monsters."

"So are we going to get rid of the monster here in advance?" Lin asked.

"No, without the help of the witch, it is difficult to deal with these monsters with those puppets or foxes alone. At least a few puppets or foxes will be needed. That is not worth it." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao shook his head, then smiled confidently and said, "Hehe, no matter what kind of game it is, there are certain special solutions, which is the so-called skipping. Especially for this kind of rule-generated monster spawning point, we don't need to target that monster, we just need to..."

I saw Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple took out a doll from his arms, threw it out, and said, "Savior Doll No. 114! Shatter it!"

The puppet began to transform into the appearance of the virtual skeleton, but the strange thing was that the weapon held by this skeleton was actually two hammers. Then it jumped up and swung the two hammers directly onto the boulder above the cave entrance.

"Boom!"

The rubble continued to fall, directly covering the entire cave entrance. And because the virtual number skeleton was only summoned to smash the rubble, it did not consume too much energy in the battle, so the virtual number skeleton turned into its original puppet appearance again. It was taken into the arms of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"Is this really effective, Sister Jiuxiao?" Lin asked after watching this scene.

"Well, at least I did an experiment before you came. Basically, as long as the entrance to the cave is blocked, the monsters will not refresh, and the witch will have more time to focus on the village and pay attention to the dirty deeds of those students and clergy. Only then can we prepare for the third day." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple said slowly.

"Sister Jiuxiao... can we really achieve a new ending by letting the witch stop this ceremony?" Lin asked in confusion.

"According to my observations during so many reincarnations, in this space, most of the natives live a very rigid life restricted by rules. Only when the witch appears will they show strong negative emotions. And only Miss Miko, no matter what time it is, she does not behave like a real person who is restricted by rules and has rich emotions."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said slowly: "And she is the executioner on the third day. Every time, she executes the sacrifice and then settles the matter. Therefore, I wonder if I can help Miss Miko break through her obsession, change her, and make her completely resist performing the sacrifice."

"I still can't imagine... such a gentle sister Ying would turn into such a horrible person on the third day." Lin said with a frown.

"Can you imagine that those who were chasing us were just ordinary middle school students?" At this point, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's expression became a little serious, with anger hidden in her eyes. She said, "Those two monsters created this world, tested human nature, and led them to madness and sin! They twisted them! Not only them, but also the witch lady."

"Before the monsters attacked, everyone should have been normal. Those students had their own happy lives. And Miss Miko has been living in a daze because of the ignorance of the villagers and the loss of her loved ones. But as long as an outsider re-enters her life, she still has the possibility of happiness!"

"I. And you, have all seen the good side of Miss Miko. That is by no means false. On the contrary, that is Miss Miko's truest appearance. It is also the appearance she most hopes for. But now, because of these two monsters, Miss Miko has once again become the appearance she hates the most... Therefore, I firmly believe that only in this way, fighting against those two monsters and fighting against this priest himself, is the real way to pass through this world! Even if this method is not recognized by the monsters! But this is the real way to save everyone recognized by this savior!"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao grabbed Lin's shoulders and said very seriously: "I want to save all of them. They are all tortured and twisted by monsters. I want to take them back from the monsters."

"...I understand, Sister Jiuxiao. You are really very cool." After listening to this, Lin nodded seriously, and an emotion called admiration began to spread in Lin's heart.

"Handsome and all. Of course!" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple accepted Lin's compliment somewhat impolitely, but the thoughts in her heart were sensed by Wang Chen.

"I'm still far from it... I'm just bragging now. I have no power, so even if I really run into those two monsters, I can't do anything. Aibo... what would you do in this situation... Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao, you can't keep making Aibo worry like this. You are the most powerful savior! Don't let your friends and Aibo down!"

This was the voice of the new consciousness that Wang Chen heard. I'm afraid this was the truest voice in Jiuxiao's heart at that time.

"Jiuxiao..." Wang Chen couldn't help but feel deeply touched when he saw the confused but determined Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. In a short period of time, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao has begun to be able to stand on his own. He remembered what Penglai Temple Jiuxiao said to Yaezakura before: "It's better to force yourself than to be forced by others in the end."

Wang Chen felt somewhat relieved and distressed about Jiuxiao's growth. He began to mobilize the power of his thoughts and re-integrated the remaining fragments of consciousness around him into this body, making this new consciousness stronger.

"Faster..." As the new consciousness continued to grow stronger, feeling the information transmitted to him by empathy, Wang Chen was able to realize that he was not far from finding Jiuxiao.

Chapter 115: Injustice

Wang Chen continued to observe this memory while collecting the fragments of Jiuxiao's consciousness. Next, he saw Penglai Temple Jiuxiao and Lin share their plan on how to get Yaezakura to their side. After successfully sealing the monster spawning point, they came down to act separately.

Kyushu from Penglai Temple went to the village to cause an incident, exposing the crimes of the clergy and students. Lin went to lure Yaezakura over, ready to catch all of them in one fell swoop.

Since they had helped the shrine maiden to kill the monster on the first day, and no monster appeared in the afternoon, no villagers were killed again, forcing Yaezakura to go to the back mountain. Therefore, Yaezakura was idle in the shrine at the moment, seemingly taking care of someone in the guest room.

However, when she heard Lin's call, she subconsciously looked out the door, only to hear the person being cared for next to her say with a smile: "Go, since your lovely sister is looking for you, don't waste your time on me, my injury has healed and I can take care of myself."

Yaezakura nodded, gave the guest some instructions, and then went outside the room, looking at Lin waving at her.

Lin used her appearance similar to Yae Rin very well and easily let Yae Sakura take her to the village to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner. So everything was moving forward steadily according to Jiuxiao's plan.

Not long after Yaezakura approached the entrance of Yaezakura Village, her brows suddenly frowned. She smelled a bloody smell, so she signaled Lin to stay here and not move. She rushed into the village alone, ready to draw her knife at any time. But when Yaezakura followed the smell of blood and came to the round platform square of the village, the scene in front of her made her pupils dilate.

The few remaining children in the village that she knew were now lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing. Around those children, a figure pounced on one of them, his body still trembling. Yaezakura recognized that it was Kyushu of Houraiji. In addition to the children and Kyushu of Houraiji, a group of clergy surrounded them.

"Haha, miko-sama, you are finally here." One of the clergymen said immediately after seeing Yaezakura coming, "Miko-sama, the one who kidnapped the children has been found! It is this witch! Not only did she kidnap them, but after we found them and they could not escape, she killed all the children alive! Her crime is unforgivable! She is trying to cut off the incense of Yaezakura!"

"My child! My child! Oh my God!!!" A villager who heard that the murderer had been caught and saw the tragic scene went crazy and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the clergy.

"Don't get close! That witch will harm others! She is extremely ferocious! Only the lady witch can handle her!" the clergyman said sternly.

More and more villagers came here after hearing the news, all of them were angry at the tragic scene. Some of them had already started shouting, asking the witch to get rid of this witch immediately.

Yaezakura naturally didn't believe that Penglaiji Jiuxiao would do such a thing. Even though they had only been together for a little over a day, she knew that Penglaiji Jiuxiao was definitely not the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor was she a so-called witch.

But now the bloody facts are laid out before her, and the villagers all around are urging her to capture Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. Their anger is almost out of control. Yae Sakura knows that she must make a choice.

"What is going on? Jiuxiao?" Yaezakura asked Jiuxiao of Houraiji, who had a painful expression on his face and was holding the dead child.

……

Back to half an hour ago, after Penglai Temple Jiuxiao separated from Lin as planned, he sneaked into the village to find the whereabouts of those children. Those children were immediately hidden by the students who had replaced the identities of the clergy. Fortunately, this world is not too big, and the only place they can hide is in the village. Therefore, even if they keep changing their hiding places, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao can always track down the clues and find them quickly.

After all, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple grew up under the influence of his father, and his ability in investigation can be considered professional.

Soon, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao locked onto a homestay again. She planned to rescue the child first. Then wait until Yaezakura arrived. As long as they confronted each other face to face, they could be caught in one fell swoop.

So Penglai Temple Jiuxiao waited for a while, and when he felt that Yaezakura should be on the way, he sneaked into the guesthouse, and then released the little fox that he was still comforting in his arms, letting it attack the guard of the house. He was going to take advantage of the chaos to enter the house and rescue the children.

"Oh shit! It's a monster! Why is a monster attacking the village?"

"Quick! Take out the puppet! Drive the other party away!"

After hearing the commotion in front, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao knew it was time. So he immediately turned over and entered the house through the window. But Penglai Temple Jiuxiao did not dare to move carelessly. He quietly came to the door of a room, poked open the paper door and looked inside. Sure enough, he found that there was still someone guarding the children.
