Their commission was suspicious.

Even when their eyes met, Raiden Mei sensed a sadness.
This is not the emotion that Huang Quan is currently experiencing, but rather a summary of what Huang Quan has gone through.
"You probably can't help me. And I don't need any help." Huang Quan shook his head.
When Huang Quan saw the girl in front of him, his heart did flutter for a moment, as if he saw his former self, but that was all.
There are countless worlds in the universe that are similar yet different, and in these worlds there are countless people who are similar yet different.
Huang Quan also embarked on a journey, encountering familiar faces in different worlds and witnessing their destinies follow a seemingly familiar path.
Faced with the girl's kindness, all Huang Quan could do was to prevent her from getting involved in the mess he was in.
"..." Knowing that she was not good with words, Raiden Mei looked at Yomi's indifferent expression and knew that she seemed powerless to help her.
What you experience may be more profound than you imagine.
So... Raiden Mei gently touched Chen Luo, who was standing next to her.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
[Help]: To enable Huang Quan to accept help from others, so that he is not alone when he encounters difficulties.
Reward: 600 Primogems + [Affection Gift]
Difficulty: 3 stars
So... it's time to let Chen Luo take the lead!
"..."
Um... Mei-neechan, isn't this task of yours a bit too abstract?
What does it mean to make someone accept help from others?
[Perhaps they see you earning regular ore too easily, so they're deciding to increase your difficulty. Anyway, you're basically free to earn ore now, so instead of doing repetitive quests, why not try these more challenging ones?]
My father once said that spells are not important, magic is.
The same applies to Chen Luo now. The raw stones are not very important, but fulfilling some strange and unusual wishes is perhaps more important.
Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. Neither is dispensable.
Understanding one's desires and experiencing them personally are equally essential.
This means that even if Chen Luo obtains the raw stone temporarily, he still has to obediently complete the commission.
The only difference is that Chen Luo no longer has to force himself to complete tasks he doesn't want to complete.
For example, snatching a little girl's lollipop.
Chen Luo swore that he really didn't do it voluntarily!
But Chen Luo still has to fulfill the different wishes of clients from different worlds, facing different predicaments, and with different demands.
Just consider it... something to do since I'm free anyway.
"Miss Huang Quan, do you still dream? Do you dream about those you couldn't save, those who died because of you?" Chen Luo asked.
"..."
“I’m a doctor, and I have some experience in psychology. I can help you feel more at ease without erasing these memories,” Chen Luo said.
"Doctor...?"
“That’s right. If you’re ever feeling lost, don’t hesitate, just come to the bar and find me. Oh, and by the way, whether you agree or not, I’m determined to cure you,” Chen Luo said.
Rough stone, the girl before me is worth saving!
"Huh? I'm not sick."
“But you’ve gone too far down the path of emptiness,” Chen Luo reminded him.
"Doctor...you're the Chaos Physician? You might have misunderstood. I'm not a self-destructor." After hearing Chen Luo's words, Huang Quan seemed to have misunderstood something.
“Whether you are a self-destructor or not, I will use my eyes to tell. And even if you are not a self-destructor, Miss Huangquan, you have gone too far on the path of nothingness. If nothing unexpected happens, you will eventually walk the path of annihilation and return to nothingness. You still retain a trace of your own self, but not much.”
"In my view, this is the disease that needs treatment. I am not a Chaos Doctor, but I am more greedy than a Chaos Doctor. I not only want to stop the self-destructing ones from self-destructing, but I also want to cure the very act of returning to nothingness," Chen Luo said.
"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Huang Quan knew that he probably couldn't escape this calamity.
Chaos healers are all overly persistent individuals, obsessed with helping those who are self-destructing to find meaning in their existence.
Or rather, rather than being kind, the Chaos Doctor is more like someone who has become a doctor through long illness, and he is always generous in helping others who have touched the void and are trapped in self-destruction.
Simply refusing someone is useless, because they won't heed your refusal.
“I can also sense that Miss Huang Quan, you also have wishes or obsessions in your heart, or rather, as long as a person has thoughts in their heart, there will be things they want to accomplish.”
Chen Luo paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm someone who enjoys helping others fulfill their wishes, which might seem strange to others. You might not believe it, but I can indeed undo some things that are irreversible. For example... things that have already been destroyed."
"!!!" Huang Quan's eyes sharpened in an instant.
"Ahem, of course, this isn't something that can be easily salvaged. It's not that I'm trying to take advantage of you, but I can only offer you one chance. If you're willing to trust me, you can come to the bar to find me after you've finished what you need to do. Or you can wait for me to come to Pinocchio to find you," Chen Luo quickly explained.
"You know I'm going to Pinocchio?" Huang Quan frowned.
"You just said that."
"Did I just say that?" Huang Quan tilted his head.
“There definitely is.” Raiden Mei nodded.
Although Raiden Mei knew nothing, she just went along with Chen Luo's words.
Huang Quan subconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.
Because of some past experiences, Huang Quan is prone to forgetting things. Only when this sword is drawn will those hazy images gradually become clear.
But Huang Quan found himself completely unchanged... It seemed as if some force was preventing the sword from working.
“In this bar, no one can hurt each other, nor can anyone do anything that might cause harm,” Chen Luo said.
"..."
Yellow Springs - Greatly weakened!
"In short, Miss Huang Quan, I hope you will change your mind when we meet next time. Although even if you don't change your mind, I will not give up my own ideas."
“…I understand.” Huang Quan did not refuse again.
Because Huang Quan knew that refusing was useless.
The dead often forget things, so they are more accustomed to capturing things through feelings than through memories.
Huang Quan could sense that the boy in front of him was not malicious in helping him, nor was he helping him because of the girl beside him who looked somewhat like him; he was simply trying to fulfill his wish.
This is... very strange.
"Have a safe journey." Chen Luo and Raiden Mei stood at the bar entrance, watching Huang Quan disappear into the distance.
After gradually losing sight of the other person, Chen Luo closed the bar door.
"That's great, Miss Yomi is willing to accept help?" Raiden Mei's face was a little red, as if it was Raiden Mei herself who was being helped, not Yomi.
"Not yet, the goal hasn't been fully achieved. I need to wait until Huang Quan finishes what he's doing and comes to the bar again, and until I'm fully prepared, before I can break through the opponent's current void." Chen Luo shook his head.
Forcibly altering Huang Quan's consciousness is not difficult, and it's unclear whether saving the other's world is difficult or not, but Huang Quan has gone too far down the path of nothingness.
The fate of the Void Star God is a typical example: whoever goes the furthest becomes the messenger.
But this is not a good thing.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
This afternoon, when Chen Luo helped Shu awaken her will to live, he recorded some insights into awakening "the other person's past desires" into the Seed of Transcendence, which might be useful to Huang Quan.
Chen Luo refused to believe that Huang Quan didn't have the desire to save the world when he was saving it!
[A past wish] is still a wish!
And isn't Huang Quan's desire to come to Pinocchio also because he wants to fulfill some last wishes?
The reason why the power of the Seed of Transcendence is not being used now is because Huang Quan still needs to go and kill the Grand Duke of Netherfire, isn't it?
"Anyway, as long as there's hope, that's good. I can see that the other me, who's like someone from a parallel world, seems to be carrying far too much burden," Raiden Mei said.
"That's true. I'll try to treat it later." Chen Luo nodded.
"Lolo, you're amazing."
"Don't praise me like that. You should think about how to talk to Huang Quan when he comes to the bar in the future."
"Oh, I see. But Lolo, what you said when you were talking to Yomi just now, does it mean that Yomi's world has been destroyed?" Raiden Mei asked.
"That's right. Her homeland wasn't as fortunate as the collapsing world."
"Is their wish to save the world?"
“She used to be, but now… she has a deeper obsession.”
Huang Quan's current thought is to reach the end of nothingness.
This is a very dangerous thing.
"Then what are the Self-Destructionists and Chaos Physicians?"
"I'll send you a data package in a bit, you can take a look at Huang Quan's background story."
"Thanks for your hard work, Lolo. Speaking of which, saving a world that has already been destroyed must be difficult for you, right? It must cost a lot of Primogems, right?"
“If this matter could be resolved with raw stones, it would be simple. But if I really want to help her heal, saving the world requires me to give her the opportunity and let her resolve it herself. This is much more troublesome than spending raw stones.” Chen Luo shook his head.
Chen Luo was referring to the achievement skill of the Savior achievement – [Rewind].
The proposition of saving the world has a very big problem.
That is, how to get the person who made the wish to save the world to accept that this is their world, not a world that is almost identical to it.
For example, Otto cannot accept that the person he resurrected was not Kallen. He also cannot accept any clones or similar beings.
Chen Luo's solution at the time was to take Otto with him to personally rescue Karen.
And this time is no different.
This is why Chen Luo didn't bring up the topic of saving the world with Huang Quan at the beginning.
This is only their first meeting. When ordinary people make friends, they should avoid being too familiar with each other.
You are not an ordinary person, you are a succubus.
"Succubi are the same... No, you're the succubus!"
Just as Chen Luo was pondering whether using Aha to save Izumo would work, he felt a warm sensation on his face.
Something seemed to linger on Chen Luo's face for a moment, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Chen Luo turned his head and could only see Raiden Mei with her hands behind her back, blushing and looking down at her toes.
"...Alright, don't put so much pressure on yourself, thinking that you made me accept this troublesome request that can't even be solved with Originium Stones because you wanted to help the other person. I wouldn't have ignored Huang Quan without you. The other person is very similar to you, and can even be seen as another version of you."
"Given the high degree of repetition in appearance, hair color, habits, hobbies, name, and even some of her experiences, seeing her is like seeing you for the first time we met." Chen Luo touched Raiden Mei's head, as if lost in memories.
"..." Perhaps because of Chen Luo's words, or perhaps because she remembered the scene of the knight appearing out of nowhere when the two first met, Raiden Mei not only did not raise her head because of Chen Luo's words, but instead lowered her head even further.
"Sigh, never mind, let's talk about something more practical. I've helped you so much, what are you planning to give me in return?" Chen Luo tried to change the subject.
“Give me something… Let me think…” Raiden Mei actually started to think carefully.
As Chen Luo and Raiden Mei sat chatting on the empty second floor of the bar, while Chen Luo helped Raiden Mei ease her anxiety after meeting Huang Quan and realizing that what Huang Quan carried was far beyond her imagination, a girl with black twin tails appeared on the stairs of the second floor of the bar, which Chen Luo and Raiden Mei were facing away from.
The other person sat at the top of the stairs, listening to the sounds coming from the second floor, their excitement evident on their face.
I never expected that just because I was curious about what Chen Luo was doing upstairs, I followed him and heard such explosive news.
The new imposter that Hua Huo initially envisioned was somewhat unfamiliar to Chen Luo, but quite important. Wouldn't that provide a new option that wouldn't raise too many suspicions?
A sea-patrolling knight-errant... the Yellow Springs?
snort!
On the other hand, Chen Luo seemed to be able to sense information about nothingness emanating from Huang Quan... Chen Luo might have some connection with the Chaos Doctor, which would make the disguise even more difficult.
Surely the Chaos Doctor couldn't possibly be unable to distinguish who the self-destructor is?
At first, Hanabi didn't realize that Yomi was a Void Fate Traveler; his disguise regarding fate was indeed very impressive. Perhaps the Void Fate Traveler possessed some special ability to swap existences or borrow the identities of others?
It seems I might need some help to impersonate the other person.
