Because tsundere people tend to keep their true thoughts to themselves. Even if they feel disgusted, they won't say it out loud; they'll just sulk and get angry on their own.
She'll suffer internal injuries from holding it in sooner or later!
Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
There's absolutely no challenge!
"Let's see how you've come to like me..." he thought with a hint of smugness.
……
After leaving the safe zone at the fixed entrance to Hell, Fan Xiao directly entered the Mirror World.
After realizing that he had entered the second cycle of reincarnation, Fan Xiao had the idea of exploring the world in the mirror.
Perhaps my past self left some information in the mirror world... This possibility is actually very small. The mirror world changes in real time in relation to the external environment and does not remain in the past.
Although life cannot be projected into it, other inanimate objects do exist in the mirror world.
However, the mirrored objects projected cannot be brought into reality.
Because of its "real-time change" characteristic, Fan Xiao never stores his valuables in the mirror world... The inside and outside of the mirror do not correspond, and if there is a real-time change, his things will be swallowed up and disappear.
Simply put, the mirror image leaves no trace of information!
But...what if?
He had accumulated ten days' worth of luck before he was able to leave node G08.
What if he made a wish by chance and left behind a message in some coincidence?
With this in mind, Fan Xiao searched around.
In the end... nothing was found.
He had to abandon the idea and focus on exploring Hell.
The terrain inside Hell is almost a plain, flat everywhere with no undulations.
The soil was scorched black and covered with bizarrely shaped weeds, including even giant carnivorous plants.
If hell is truly the "present" of the outside world... then the outside world was thoroughly destroyed in the past.
Not to mention any trace of human villages or towns, there isn't even a single mountain range that originally existed outside in Hell.
Hell and the outside world present two completely different appearances.
This made Fan Xiao begin to doubt himself... Had he guessed wrong?
He looked into the distance; in hell, there was no ocean, only earth.
This is completely different from the outside world.
"The past and the present should have some similarities..."
"Could it be that there has been a change in the land and sea?"
"No... the cycle of changes in land and sea is measured in hundreds of millions of years, this is too exaggerated."
Fan Xiao felt conflicted.
Could it be that he really guessed wrong?
At that moment, a hoarse growl came.
As his figure emerged from the mirror, the monster underground reacted, also emerging from the ground and revealing a form that was physically disturbing.
This is the danger of exploring hell.
Wherever they go, the monsters beneath the ground are awakened.
The wider the area you explore, the more monsters you will encounter.
If this continues, the final crisis in hell will eventually awaken and arrive.
Fan Xiao ignored it for the time being and escaped into the mirror before the monster could attack him.
When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away, holding a delicate and small compass in his hand.
The instance world isn't even a planet, so theoretically, the compass wouldn't work.
However, the dungeon world cannot be viewed in the same way as usual, so Fan Xiao decided to try his luck as a last resort.
"Based on my previous predictions, the Celestials and Demons will kill Carmen's two daughters, leading to a deadly battle between the two kings."
"If the outside world really is the past, then through the second dungeon mission, we can basically lock it down to the battle between the two kings, and the one who survived is the true king, Caesar."
"Therefore, the word 'guilt' in 'the Tomb of Guilt' most likely refers to Caesar's guilt towards Carmen."
"He stopped Carmen from slaughtering humans when she went mad, and even... was forced to kill Carmen, and was therefore filled with deep guilt."
"After that, he will most likely bury Carmen and his twin daughters together, and the burial place... will probably be near that riverside wooden house, which was the temporary home that Carmen built for his two daughters."
"That place is the grave of guilt."
As Fan Xiao pondered, he fiddled with the compass to confirm the direction and began his journey.
Although the vast difference in terrain between Hell and the outside world made him doubt his own deductions, it did not stop him from exploring it.
His conjecture is logically sound and can explain the contradictions and anomalies encountered so far.
Logically, there shouldn't be any errors...
Soon, with the help of the prop "Mirror" to travel faster, he arrived at the riverside wooden house area corresponding to the outside world—well, the area.
Hell is completely different from the outside world. He can only treat the entrance and exit of Hell as a "lighthouse of Hell" to determine the approximate location and explore the surrounding area.
According to the map model he had built in his mind, the "hellish riverside cabin" should be in the vicinity of where he was now.
Hell is a plain, making the search easy.
Fan Xiao sprouted wings, flew into the sky, and looked around... but found nothing.
There are no rivers, no wooden houses.
There is no grave.
All that remained was a monotonous, flat expanse of land overgrown with weeds.
And alien monsters that are constantly emerging from the ground.
Fan Xiao sighed softly, vanished into the mirror, and began his journey back.
There is no need to investigate further.
There's nothing left in hell except monsters.
……
The safe zone at the entrance to hell.
Fan Xiao, who emerged from the mirror, saw the hooded girl who had been waiting there all along.
How are things going on your end?
Upon seeing Fan Xiao appear, the girl immediately inquired about the important matter.
“Nothing was found,” Fan Xiao sighed. “There are nothing but monsters. Not to mention any traces, the two spaces are even completely different in terms of terrain.”
"Same here."
The hooded girl frowned and said, "Your guess might be wrong. Perhaps hell is hell, and the outside world is the outside world, and the two are unrelated."
"Don't rush to conclusions."
Fan Xiao cautioned, "If you can't find any clues in Hell, then... the clues are very likely outside."
"Let's go with my guess for now. If the outside world is indeed history, and the source of hell is indeed King Caesar, then the word 'guilt' in 'Tomb of Guilt' refers to King Caesar."
He told the hooded girl about his speculations about the Celestials and Demons.
The Celestial Race and the Demon Race plan to kill the Demon King's two daughters, thus triggering the War of the Two Kings, and then sit back and watch them fight, becoming the ultimate winners.
After hearing this, the hooded girl immediately commented, "You... are a real bastard."
"..." Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "I was just putting myself in their shoes. Don't talk as if I'm the one who would do such a thing. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Without giving the hooded girl a chance to refute, he continued to get down to business, saying, "According to my guess, the 'Tomb of Guilt' is probably the tomb that the true king Caesar built for the demon king Carmen."
"I tried to find it in hell, but... I found nothing."
"Hmm... my guess should be right. Perhaps I overlooked some important detail, so..."
After a pause, he offered a new plan: "I plan to go back to the outside world and monitor the twins."
"If the outside world is indeed a replay of the past, then these two are key figures in the historical narrative."
“By using them as a starting point to understand the past, perhaps we can find clues to the ‘Tomb of Guilt’.”
Upon hearing this, the hooded girl thought for a moment and reminded her, "This plan is somewhat passive, essentially waiting for intelligence to arrive. Are you sure we have enough time to wait?"
"The invasion of Hell has now been postponed. Staying outside and waiting poses no danger to us. We just need to check the progress of the invasion at the entrance to Hell periodically."
As Fan Xiao pondered, he said, "And judging by this trend, if no other dangers arise, we can most likely stay outside until the dungeon ends. That way, we can still clear the dungeon."
"Do you think this is possible?" The hooded girl wasn't so optimistic.
"Of course it's impossible."
Fan Xiao laughed and said, "However... what I want now is an accident! What I want is danger!"
"The dangers to come will likely only occur outside the city."
"Danger is looming from the outside world... This may also mean that the historical events of the past have reached a critical juncture."
"So, I guess we might not have to wait long to learn the truth of history."
"..." The hooded girl pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay."
She then added, "When I was searching the area earlier, all the monsters underground woke up wherever I went."
"Hell has become dangerous again; it's only a matter of time before they gather around us."
At this point, she glanced at the white light at the entrance to Hell: "If too many monsters gather near the entrance, it might accelerate Hell's erosion of the outside world."
“We must leave here. Once we have no target to attack, they will probably calm down and burrow back into the ground.”
“You go back first,” Fan Xiao shook his head, “I still have things to do.”
"What is it?" the hooded girl asked.
"This instance is far too dangerous. Although we have prevented Hell from invading, the potential crises from the outside world... might just cost us our lives and start a new cycle."
Having deduced that he had already died once, Fan Xiao became more cautious: "If this really happens... in order to pass the level smoothly next time, I have to leave some clues for my next reincarnation."
"Leave clues...take advantage of the fact that Hell doesn't participate in the cycle of reincarnation?"
The hooded girl instantly understood his thoughts.
Chapter 432 Junior Sister: Try Saying That Again If You Dare
Fan Xiao gave an affirmative answer to his junior sister's question: "As time goes by, Hell will gradually and automatically return to its original state—this is the conclusion we deduced earlier."
"In other words, the restoration of hell is not completed in an instant; it will take a considerable amount of time."
"In this way, as long as a sufficiently grand trace is left, and information is imprinted in the trace, there is a high probability that the intelligence can be passed on to the next version of oneself in the next cycle."
"This can be considered a safety measure."
His method of leaving a trace was simple—he would hide in the mirror world for a while, accumulate a large amount of blood, and then use emotional magic to create a massive iceberg, storing the information inside.
Since ice fragments were left over from the last cycle, he should be able to leave even more traces this time by making an even bigger commotion.
Of course, he doesn't plan to build an iceberg right away.
The later you leave your information, the more completely it will be preserved.
As for how to preserve blood... items stored in the B-grade item "Nana's Suitcase" can enter a time-freezing state.
It's entirely feasible to store blood inside and release it for use when needed.
Moreover, "Nana's Suitcase" has a volume of 1 cubic meters. Even if he puts in hundreds or thousands of doses of his own blood, it will only take up a small portion of the space... The volume is more than enough for him to do whatever he wants.
"To leave a huge trace and information..."
The hooded girl thought for a moment, and it seemed... she could give it a try?
