The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

I saw the Jiuxiao doll from Penglai Temple opening its cute eyes wide and staring at me with a strange look on its face.

Chapter 127 Why is it still a puppet?

"It's Jiuxiao's voice! The puppet started to speak normally! Captain, did you really bring Jiuxiao back?" After hearing Jiuxiao's words, Theresa was obviously stunned, and then said.

"Puppet? Hey! Why does my body still look like a puppet!" After hearing what Theresa said, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao lowered his head to look at his body this time, and found that he now had the body of a puppet. No wonder Wang Chen and Theresa seemed to have grown much bigger.

It turns out that they are not getting bigger, but I am getting smaller?

"Why is this happening? I've brought back Jiuxiao's consciousness, but why is his body still that of a puppet? Jiuxiao, cooperate with me, recall the feeling of the previous synchronization link, and tune in with me." Wang Chen once again mobilized his mind source to check the status of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. And Penglai Temple Jiuxiao also cooperated according to Wang Chen's request.

Soon, Wang Chen noticed that the source of thought that originally belonged to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao still had an alienated part that could not be squeezed out no matter what. It was very stubborn. No matter how Wang Chen mobilized the source of thought, he could only slightly weaken that alienated part.

Once he stopped using his mind to purify, that part of the alienated area would slowly return to its state before being weakened, but it would not expand further. This characteristic of change reminded Wang Chen of the time when he was syncing with Theresa, Theresa had no power at the beginning, but gradually recovered her power later. But once the sync link was disconnected, that power would gradually weaken again.

Wang Chen informed Jiuxiao and Theresa of Penglai Temple about this phenomenon, and they both began to ponder it.

"I understand. This should be caused by the rules of this world. In this world, players are ordinary people without power by default, and everything must be done according to the rules. So the power of the school principal and I are sealed. This is our alienation, but the school principal's is smaller and mine is larger. After all, not only is my power sealed, but I was also made into a puppet as a failure because of the rules."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao had been in this space for a long time, so he quickly thought of this and put forward his own opinion. Wang Chen also nodded and agreed with this point of view.

"So... in other words, as long as we complete the clearance, will everything return to normal? Those students who have turned into puppets or foxes, as long as they remain in this space, they become that way because of the rules of this world. So as long as we complete the clearance, the effect of this world's rules will disappear, and those students who were originally turned into puppets and foxes will be able to return to normal?" Theresa also put forward her own guess and said.

"It's possible... This one has yet to be verified. After all, we don't know whether this alienation can be resolved by clearing this world or by defeating the two Herrschers." Wang Chen said, "But at this stage, clearing this world has become the most important thing. Jiuxiao, since you chose to seek the help of the witch to clear it, you must have discovered some important information."

"Well, it should be roughly from the nth reincarnation that the story begins..." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple began to recall, and then talked about the phenomena he observed and the information he deduced.

In the previous reincarnations, she could only watch those students sacrifice the little girls in the village. She wanted to stop them but could never really do it. Even if she saved the little girls for a while, the sky fire would still fall at midnight on the third day and burn the whole village to ashes. Therefore, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao gave up on continuing this meaningless rescue. She began to look for a way to pass this world without sacrifice.

First of all, the first thing that needs to be solved is the sky fire. There are two questions that need to be explored about the sky fire. Where does the sky fire come from? Can the sky fire be avoided? Based on these two questions, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao began to observe in several reincarnations. First of all, in terms of avoidance, after investigation and obtaining information from students, it can be inferred that the sky fire is basically spread throughout the world, and there is no place to avoid it.

Even if it is a regular prop such as a puppet fox, facing the sky fire, it can only delay the time of death a little bit, because the sky fire is constantly falling.

Knowing that the sky fire was inevitable, Jiuxiao did not give up. Instead, in his first reincarnation, he prepared many puppets and fox demons to delay the sky fire from burning him, so that he could observe the source of the sky fire. Finally, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple was on the roof of the shrine hall. With the help of props to delay the death time, he finally noticed that the sky fire was erupting from the back mountain, attacking the shrine and spreading throughout the village.

At the same time, Jiuxiao also noticed that the shrine maiden did not fall down immediately in the sky fire. This made Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple curious about the identity and role of the shrine maiden.

So in the next reincarnation, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple went to find the source of the sky fire while collecting information about the witch. In the end, Jiuxiao found the cave where the monsters were produced by looking for the source of the sky fire, and also learned about the witch's past after gaining enough favor from the witch.

From this, Jiu Xiao was able to roughly deduce the original situation. The coming of the sky fire came from the monster that appeared in the cave in the back mountain. However, he had ventured into the cave once and found nothing. Later, he found out that the cave was just a monster spawning point.

Afterwards, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao found a way to block the cave to prevent the appearance of the monsters in the first two days, but the sky fire on the third day could not be stopped. The reason was that the monster that appeared at the third day was much more terrifying than the monster in the first two days. It was so huge that it directly cracked the entire cave and broke the mountain. It was the real culprit of the sky fire.

Combined with the phenomenon of human sacrifice in the village and the past experience of Yaezakura, the priestess, Kyushu of Hourai Temple speculated that this was a big demon beast that had survived for a long time. The way to solve the sky fire and pass the level is to destroy this demon beast. Obviously, the priestess Yaezakura was able to survive the sky fire and had an inexplicable grudge with the big demon fox. So the key to passing the level fell on Yaezakura.

After listening to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's analysis, Wang Chen felt that there were many discrepancies between the story's speculation and the actual situation, but the general direction was indeed correct. Wang Chen frowned at the giant demon fox that Penglai Temple Jiuxiao saw. That image was obviously the image of the Corrosion Herrscher - Feiyuwan.

In other words, if he wanted to clear this world, he had to face the Herrscher of Corrosion, Feiyuwan, and defeat him. Although he had expected this, he was still secretly worried after getting the accurate information.

"But there is one thing that I can't figure out... This is the information I got after I became a sacrifice." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao continued to add, "Those students said that those killed by the shrine maiden can't enter this reincarnation again. This is the real reason why they chose to kill me completely. They are very afraid of the shrine maiden, and they don't think that the shrine maiden Yaezakura is the one who saved them. Instead, they regard her as a monster. Some people even said that in the end they saw the shrine maiden riding the demon fox away together, and believed that Yaezakura was the monster. If it is based on such information, my previous speculation is a bit unclear."

"That's because there are still many discrepancies in your speculation, Jiuxiao... There may be a piece of information that you don't know. This Miss Yaezakura has already appeared in the real world. She is Rin's sister. It was also she who allowed me and many other people to enter this world." Theresa said.

"No wonder, I just feel very strange. Why are Yae Rin's tomb, the other person's appearance, and the appearance of the shrine hall all so familiar? Woo... Sorry, I can't figure it out anymore." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao felt his head swelling and couldn't figure it out.

"I can't think of it. The reason is that the information we currently have is not enough. Now that the matter has been resolved, Jiuxiao, there is another important thing that needs your help." Wang Chen said.

"Well... I understand, it's about Lin." Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple nodded and said.

"Hmm? About Lin?"

Seeing Theresa's puzzled expression, Wang Chen explained the whole story to Theresa. After listening, Theresa nodded and said, "Her words should still be tied up. It would be great if we could untie the knot in that child's heart."

"You've hurt Miss Sakura, and you still want to run away! Stop right there!" At this moment, Kallen's voice suddenly came from above.

Chapter 128 The Cry of the Fox

Hearing Kallen's voice, everyone looked up. Theresa said, "It was Lady Kallen's voice. But the girl tried to escape but was discovered by Lady Kallen. Let's go over and take a look."

As she spoke, Theresa was the first to run up with her short legs. And Penglai Temple Jiuxiao asked curiously: "Lady Kallen? Who is that?"

"I will introduce it using a synchronous link. By the way, how did you bring the puppet into the shrine? I have tried many times before but failed. You may still be judged as a puppet force by the shrine and be unable to enter the shrine." Wang Chen asked.

"It's simple, Aibo, just watch..." I saw Penglai Temple Jiuxiao jumping to the front of the steps, lying on all fours, and then began to imitate the cry of a fox, screaming "ah ah" a few times, and then said: "I am a puppet who wants to be a fox, please let me in, Master Fox."

Then, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao climbed up and walked directly in. Seeing this scene, Wang Chen had a lot of question marks on his head, and couldn't help but complain: "What kind of weird principle is this? Just like that, you can get in?"

"Well, it seems that a student from Senyu Academy discovered it accidentally. As long as you dress the doll up as a fox and then say similar words of submission to the fox, you can come in. Oh yes, similarly, in the cemetery area, if the fox wants to enter, you need to hold the fox, with only two feet on the ground, and then express submission to the doll, and the fox can be brought into the cemetery area." said Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

"%￥…#%…￥#%…" Wang Chen was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to start complaining. If he guessed correctly, there was probably no such rule at all. It was only because a player did such a thing that satisfied the vanity of the Herrscher of Corrosion who suppressed the Herrscher of Thousands, so he deliberately opened a backdoor to indirectly encourage those students to bring their dolls to the Herrscher of Corrosion to show their submission.

Naturally, the unconvinced Thousand Herrschers also opened the same backdoor in her cemetery area, which eventually led to the emergence of such unspoken rules.

"Just follow the rules! What's the use of hidden rules?" Wang Chen couldn't help but complain.

"Then Aibo, let's go up." said Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple.

"Wait, there's another doll here." Wang Chen remembered that there was a doll next to Jiu Xiao. He remembered that she was also a doll that could be used repeatedly. She must have been a student who was transformed into a doll because of the failure of the rules of this world. Wang Chen didn't know whether such a doll that had been transformed for a long time could be restored.

"Huh? Where did the puppet go?" When Wang Chen looked at the stone, he found that the puppet was gone. He frowned and said, "Could it be taken away by the Thousand Herrscher?" That's right, after all, he had just beaten up the Thousand Herrscher. So Wang Chen didn't waste time looking for it, but walked up the stairs and went up with Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"By the way, Jiuxiao, actually, a fox doesn't yell like this."

"What's that called?" Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple asked curiously.

"Remember, next time you imitate the bark of a fox, remember to bark like this." Wang Chen said with a serious face:

"The great Chu rises, Chen Sheng is king!"

"????"

……

The puppets came to the temple one by one, and at this moment they heard a commotion.

"You little girl, it's ok that you wanted to run away just now, but now you're trying to make a living. What's going on? Xiaosha, help me tie her legs up. Don't let her hit her head against the rock again." Karen held Lin down at this moment, and then asked Theresa to help tie up her legs.

"What happened?" Wang Chen came to the scene of the scuffle and asked.

"Chen, you are here. This little girl wanted to escape, but after I found her, she became so upset for some reason that she wanted to bang her head against the niche." Karen said when she saw Wang Chen coming.

"Oh, if you have the guts, kill me right now! Don't even think about getting anything out of me! You win this time! Next time! It will all be you who will die, just wait and see!! Hahahaha! You all deserve to die!! Die! Die!!" There was madness in Lin's eyes, and a trace of turbidity appeared at the edge of her eye sockets. It was obvious that the erosion and distortion of Lin had been quite severe.

"Lin. Calm down." Wang Chen came up to the other person and said.

"Bah! You monster who came from nowhere! Ha, you should have used a little more force and strangled me to death! Hahaha, if you let me go, I will not let you go! You, and these guys around you! Otherwise, I will kill them all one by one... uh!" Lin seemed to be able to continue saying some dirty words, but a crisp slap rang out, interrupting Lin's words.

Wang Chen put his hand down and said, "I can bear it if you scold me. It doesn't matter to me. This is the revenge I deserve for my irrational behavior towards you because of my emotional loss of control. But if you still want to continue to talk nonsense to other people, I will not hold back."

"..." Obviously, Lin didn't say anything more, just waiting for everyone present with a resentful look. It's not that Lin was afraid of Wang Chen, but Wang Chen's palm just now added a little bit of substance, which dispersed some of the influence of the Herrscher on Lin, allowing her to calm down.

"Have you calmed down? Okay, Lin, I want to explain one thing first. There was a misunderstanding between us." Wang Chen saw the other party's eyes twitch and wanted to say something sarcastic, so he interrupted him in advance and continued, "I know you are dismissive of this statement. After all, our friction is an indisputable fact. But I still want to ask you to meet someone and listen to her carefully."

"People? Who? Could it be that hypocritical witch?" Lin sneered, and then said, "I will never forgive that guy. No matter how many times I reincarnate, I will kill her again and again... again and again!"

"Plop..." There seemed to be a sound. Wang Chen looked back and noticed that Yae Sakura had walked out of the guest room because of the noise outside. But as soon as she got outside the door, she heard Lin's cold and vengeful words. She was so shocked that she fell to the ground.

"Ms. Sakura! Why did you run out?" Karin also noticed the movement, so she hurried to Yae Sakura's side and helped her up.

"Haha, you're pretending again. How many people do you want to deceive with this pitiful look?" Lin cursed after seeing it.

"That's too much! What right do you have to scold Miss Miko like that?" Kallen asked after helping Yae Sakura up.

"Huh? Why? Hahaha, wait until tomorrow, when this vixen shows her true colors, you'll know for sure! You... humph!" Lin seemed to want to continue scolding, but after feeling a compelling gaze, she only said a mocking word, then looked at Wang Chen and said, "If you want me to see this guy, then forget it. I don't want to hear a word from this vixen."

"Yes, so the person I'm looking for is her. Not the miko Yaezakura." Wang Chen took down Jiuxiao, who was lying on his back and preparing himself mentally, and showed it to Lin. After Lin saw the Jiuxiao doll, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately shouted: "Give her back to you! You damn..."

"Lin, stop talking!" However, Jiuxiao's voice interrupted Lin's words. The puppet Jiuxiao jumped down from Wang Chen's hand, walked in front of Lin, and said, "Lin..."

"Jiu...Sister Jiuxiao?" After a long time, Lin was stunned when she heard the voice of Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple again. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She said, "Sister Jiuxiao! Is it really you?"

"Lin, I am... Although I am still like this now. But I am back." Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Lin's trembling appearance and said softly, "Lin, everything is over. Whether it is revenge or anger, it should all stop."

Chapter 129 Lin's Change

"No, it's no use... wuwu... Sister Jiuxiao... I've become a bad boy. Why... why did you come back? I don't want you to see me like this, I don't want to..."

Lin, who was a bit aggressive and hysterical before, now seemed to be completely changed. After seeing the puppet of Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, it was as if her defenses were broken. She lowered her head and dared not look directly at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao heard the other party's words and floated in front of Lin with great distress. He used his own puppet hand to press the other party's forehead to comfort her.

"I have...become the same as those guys. In order to avenge those guys who harmed Sister Jiuxiao, I used the rules to kill them one by one and turned them into puppets! When I finished dealing with them all, only the guys in the false space were left... Kill... Kill... I want to kill them all!" Lin raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with turbid air, and at this moment, her body was burning with flames as if it was ignited, and she roared:

"You shouldn't have come back! Sister Jiuxiao! I can't stop anymore! I want to kill...keep killing!! Kill all these dirty guys!!!"

"Get out of the way!" Wang Chen noticed something was wrong and immediately took back the Jiuxiao doll. At the same time, all the ropes on Lin's body were burned off, and she screamed strangely, "Ah ah..."

"Aibo, what's going on... Why did Lin become like this?" Looking at the strangeness on Lin's body, Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple asked hurriedly.

"Be careful, Chen! This little girl...she is starting to degenerate!" However, at this moment, Kallen appeared first and punched the opponent in the back of the head.

"Bang--" The swift and powerful attack directly knocked Lin, who was almost frantic, unconscious. Karen only used one punch to temporarily stop Lin's frenzy. However, the black aura still surrounded Lin, and it seemed that it had not completely dissipated.

“Chen, the next thing can only be handed over to you. Only your power can temporarily stop the collapse.” Kallen said hurriedly as she looked at Lin who was surrounded by black air.

"Yeah." Wang Chen nodded, but a question popped up in his mind. How did Kallen know that she had the ability to purify Honkai? Could it be that the Herrscher of Corrosion knew about her ability and added this memory to Kallen?

Wang Chen did not think too much, he began to use the power of origin to act on Lin. Sure enough, the black energy on Lin's body dissipated under the effect of Wang Chen's power of origin. It seems that whether it is the Herrscher of the Thousand or the Herrscher of Corrosion, before the consciousness body is completely corroded and alienated, their power of origin can still prevent alienation. After all, they are essentially the manipulation of collapse.

However, when Jiuxiao was transformed into a human puppet, the power of origin was somewhat helpless. After all, even his own power of mind could not be effectively eliminated.

"I have temporarily purified part of her Honkai energy. She is out of danger now. She just fainted. It seems that the impact and mutation just now have consumed too much of her energy. Let her take a nap and calm down." Wang Chen said.

"Okay, then I'll carry her in, but...why is there a collapse here? Although it does explain why this little girl is so crazy." Kallen said.

"It's all my fault." However, a voice was heard, and Yae Sakura walked over with her body supported. Seeing Lin unconscious, a sad expression appeared on her face.

"Ms. Sakura, do you know this child?" Karen asked doubtfully.

"Well... actually, she didn't call the kid wrong. I... am just a despicable guy who deceived everyone." Yae Sakura sighed, then picked up Lin. However, as soon as she used force, the wound was pulled, making Yae Sakura frown. Seeing this, Kallen wanted to help, but Yae Sakura shook her head to stop her.

"Ms. Karin, let me do it myself. This little pain is nothing compared to what she has suffered." Yae Sakura held Lin in her arms, endured the pain in her back, and carried Lin into the room. Wang Chen and others naturally followed her into the guest room.

Find an empty room, put Lin on the mattress, cover her with bedding, the clothes on Yae Sakura's back were soaked with sweat and dark red, Kallen wanted to help a few times, but thinking back to Yae Sakura's firm look when she hugged Lin, she didn't stop her. Wang Chen suggested to Kallen that she prepare some clean water, wet cloth and gauze, which could be used to wipe Yae Sakura later.

So after Yaezakura finished taking care of Lin, Kallen happened to bring back a basin of water, gauze and wet cloth. Then, at Kallen's request, she first replaced the gauze to heal the wound, and then came to check on Lin's condition.

After Yaezakura left, Wang Chen began to ask about the information in his ear: "What happened to this girl just now? Have you seen it?"

"Well, that's the result of the fox demon inducing people's negative emotions to run wild and their minds to collapse. The person's whole body will burn with the flames of the fox demon, and eventually transform into a fox. Those foxes outside who can repeatedly transform into monsters are just like her, experiencing such changes. Fortunately, big brother stopped it in time. I just didn't expect that big brother still has the power to temporarily interrupt the transformation..." said Rin's voice.

"That's nothing... wait? You said temporarily?" Wang Chen noticed Lin's choice of words and asked.

"Yes, big brother. This girl has successfully fulfilled the conditions for the evil set by the fox demon. Just as she said, from the moment she started to harm her compatriots, she continued to move further and further in the direction of alienation." Lin said, "Therefore, big brother's treatment is only temporary. As long as time passes, such alienation will appear again."

"Tsk...is there no other way?" Wang Chen asked.

"I'm afraid not. After all, this is the mechanism of this world. However... judging from the fact that my elder brother rescued the purple-haired sister and your speculation, this alienation may disappear if we clear this world." Lin said slowly, "But speaking of which, there is something I don't know if I should mention."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Wang Chen asked puzzledly.

"That's right... doesn't this child look a lot like me? At first I thought it was just a coincidence... but I don't know why. I have a feeling that I want to get closer to her." Lin said quietly.

"... Wait for a while, until the child is fine. Then I'll let you get closer and take a look." Wang Chen said.

Rin stopped talking and continued to enter standby mode. Wang Chen told Theresa and Jiuxiao the information he had just learned from Rin, and also shared some information about Yae Rin with Jiuxiao.

"I see. I do know about Miss Miko's past, and I also know that she treated Lin as her sister. But with each reincarnation, Miss Miko lost the memory of the previous reincarnation. I just didn't expect that there would be ghosts still remaining in the world? Hmm... I seem to understand why I failed that time and couldn't make Miss Miko resist the sacrifice. I guess her knot in her heart has never been untied." said Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

"Well, but this time it might be different. After all, if it was before, Yaezakura could still regard Lin as a substitute for her sister...but now. She will not be able to escape. She misunderstood Lin's behavior as revenge from her sister, and she must face her sins. This may be an opportunity to untie her knot, and it is also an opportunity for us to get Miss Yaezakura to stand on our side." Wang Chen explained.

"In every sense, Lin's crazy behavior unexpectedly completely reopened the old wounds that Miss Miko had hidden deep inside? I can understand this feeling, the feeling of wanting to escape from past sins. If you continue to seek comfort with substitutes, you will only escape for the rest of your life. Only by facing this sin again can you move forward."

Theresa said with emotion. After all, Theresa had a similar experience with Yae Sakura before. Her colleagues were also bound to the past, and used St. Freya Academy as their comfort and escape. But now, under the pressure of the Great Collapse of Changkong City, they had to stand up again. After returning to the front line of the high-intensity Collapse, Theresa began to gradually move on from the past.

Chapter 130: Untying the Heart Knot (Part 1)

Wang Chen was naturally aware of Theresa's mental journey, so he had some ideas about how to solve Yae Sakura's current situation, so he said, "Anyway, after Yae Sakura and Kallen come over, we will deal with Lin's matter and help Yae Sakura untie this knot."

"Well, but in the end, Miss Yaesakura still has to be told the truth. After all, she is not her sister. She shouldn't use Lin as a substitute, either as a consolation or as a punishment. After all, isn't there a real ghost sister who is always by her side?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao touched his chin and thought.

"But speaking of which, you haven't told me who that white-haired sister is? Is she a new member? The principal even calls her 'adult' or something... Could she be some big shot sent by the Tianming headquarters?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao asked curiously.

This question stumped both Wang Chen and Theresa. Wang Chen wondered why Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple could always guess the general direction so accurately. "She is indeed... a great figure of destiny, but she was a great figure 500 years ago..." Then, Theresa briefly gave Jiuxiao a brief introduction to Kallen's deeds.

"The Saint from 500 years ago... Does that mean this is a true story that happened 500 years ago? No wonder there are Rin and the Fox God in reality... Wait? Rin?" Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple also noticed something was wrong at this moment.

"Well, it's just as you thought, it's contradictory. The Yae Rin in reality is not dead, but the one here is already dead. We don't know whether this is something that happened in history or something else. I'm afraid we will know everything only after defeating the fox demon." Wang Chen explained.

"Is that so? Then, back to this world, the Saint Lady named Kallen is actually the most mysterious guest who has been staying in the shrine and has not come out? I have tried many times, but failed to get that mysterious person out. I thought some conditions were not met. Aibo, how did you do it?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao asked curiously.

Wang Chen scratched his head. How could he come back to this question? He couldn't say that his refresh point was refreshed next to Kallen, and Kallen regarded him as her lover, right? It seemed that it was not impossible.
