Chapter 21 Another way
Everything starts again.
As before, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi entered the world of memory and once again witnessed the man's heartbroken sorrow for his daughter, and the joy after resurrecting his daughter.
Then, that moment came again.
"Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong Dong!!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and the soldiers broke down the door, rushed into the mansion, and clashed with the man again. Then one of the soldiers drew his sword and stabbed the man...
"Bang!!"
However, at this moment, a hammer suddenly appeared and knocked the soldier away. Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Huai came out carrying a war hammer and stood between the men and soldiers.
"Who are you?"
It was only then that the man and the soldier discovered the existence of Duanmu Huai. In fact, Duanmu Huai had been standing here just now, but it was like blind men on both sides. It wasn't until Duanmu Huai decided to stir up the plot that they suddenly "saw" such a person appear.
"Are you also an accomplice of that necromancer?"
Looking at Duanmu Huai in front of them, the soldiers' expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly retreated, while Duanmu Huai sneered and raised his war hammer.
"Leave this place to me, sir, and I will get rid of all these annoying bugs!"
There was an aura of being a jerk towards the final BOSS.
"Ah...oh...this..."
Facing the sudden appearance of Duanmu Huai, the man was also quite surprised and didn't know what to say. However, Duanmu Huai didn't talk nonsense. On the contrary, he directly swung his war hammer, swept forward, and directly blew away all the soldiers blocking the door. Then he strode out of the mansion door. Outside, dozens of heavily armed soldiers were standing there, staring at him in horror and surprise.
"Come on, boy."
Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer and stared at the soldiers in front of him.
"Let me come and play with you!"
The villain is full of style.
"Go! Destroy these filthy evil existences!!"
Soon, the soldiers swarmed up and fought against Duanmu Huai.
It is not difficult for Duanmu Huai to deal with these soldiers. After all, these soldiers are not like those elusive ghosts, and their power armor can completely block their attacks. So Duanmu Huai had no intention of showing mercy at all. Instead, he shouldered the soldiers' offensive and began to attack.
At first, Duanmu Huai's battle went smoothly, but as he fought, he felt that something was wrong.
Duanmu Huai still remembered that when he first walked out of the mansion, he saw that there should be thirty or forty soldiers. However, since just now, more than four hundred soldiers have died under his war hammer, but there is still no end. .
Could this be some kind of BUG?
If it were in the game, Duanmu Huai would report it directly to the GM now. There is obviously something wrong with the constant spawning of monsters! Which program is causing the problem? Or is there an error in the copy?
Or should we just waste it?
In the end, Duanmuhuai decided to continue consuming to see who could outstrip whom, but the result was consuming...
At dawn, I was kicked out of the copy again.
"It's really weird... What's wrong?"
While biting into the hard dried meat, Duanmu Huai stared at the ruins in front of him, puzzled as to why he bought these dry foods before leaving the City of Silver. It doesn't taste very good, but it can fill your stomach. Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that based on his own experience, it would be a sure thing to solve the problem of copy space. Unexpectedly, he failed twice in a row...
There must be some clue that I haven't noticed yet.
Duanmu Huai has experienced similar dungeon scenes more than once in the game. With rich experience, he can be sure that there must be something that he has overlooked among the things he has seen before.
So, what is it?
Wait, could it be that I made a mistake?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai seemed to notice something. He ignored an important point.
That is...whose ideological core is this space created for?
Every fragment of space drifting in the subspace is shaped and fixed by the strong will and emotion of a certain existence. For example, the puppet hut that Duanmu Huai visited before, what fixed that hut was the puppet master's feelings. It is said that to untie the bell, you must tie the bell. The ultimate goal of any space strategy is to get the core.
So, who is the core of this mansion?
At first, Duanmuhuai thought that the purple-haired girl should be the one who formed this core space. But if you think about it carefully, it’s not quite right. Although there is indeed a scene in the back where the purple-haired girl witnessed her father being killed, it does not mean that the core of this space is her, because it is also possible that the man was not completely dead at that time, but was on his deathbed. What did I see before. After all, they also saw the scene where the man walked back to the mansion holding his daughter's body. At that time, the purple-haired girl was obviously not awake.
So, was it the man who formed the core?
But if this is the case, why did there be a bug in my previous rescue operation? For that man, wouldn't it be a good choice to have someone help him fend off the pursuers and leave here with his daughter to flee?
Or, in reference to the story of Frankenstein, the daughter wishes for a partner like herself? It seems that there is no such demand? If there is, it will definitely be pointed out in the memories I saw before.
MMP, if your charm value is the same as in the game, you can extract more information from the other party. But right now, Duan Muhuai's Charm 1 is really hard to do.
Although it is not impossible to try and make mistakes again and again, the evaluation of each mission will decrease every time it fails. If this continues, you may not even be able to get the guarantee... Wait! ! !
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly flashed, and he suddenly remembered Ogis' previous inquiry.
Why does that man love his daughter and hate her at the same time?
Duanmu Huai explained it to Ojis at that time, but if you think about it carefully, maybe the "password" is actually hidden in this contradiction?
Duanmuhuai didn't feel that his understanding was wrong, but he couldn't think of how to solve this problem for a while. After all, there is a gap between people's hearts, and even if the other party does have a complicated attitude towards his daughter who has come back from the dead, then how to solve this problem... I am afraid that the man himself has no answer.
"Hey..."
Duanmu Huai sighed. In the past, when encountering this kind of thing in the game, he often relied on his high charm to directly run over it. Because as long as the charm is high enough, then a task of this level is actually relatively simple. You can persuade him to untie his knot, or simply make him agree with your opinion. In short, the power of the charm is high. Clues are easy to find and tasks are easy to complete.
It's like playing an RPG game. If you are a warrior, you can only kick in the door, walk through the maze, and fight the monsters head-on. If you are a thief, you can open the back door of the maze with your backhand and you will reach the end directly.
As for now...don't think about it, Duanmu Huai himself is the hard-working warrior.
And his charm is still kind of holding back. No way, try again.
On the third night, Duanmuhuai and Ojisi entered that world again.
This time, when the man smashed the tomb and took out his daughter's body, Duanmuhuai blocked his way.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course."
The man held his daughter's body without even looking at Duanmuhuai.
"Maybe you will regret it?"
"I would regret it if I didn't do it."
"………………"
Well, you said it yourself.
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, got out of the way, and watched the man holding his daughter's body enter the mansion again, then sighed helplessly, and then followed in.
In his opinion, this time it might fail again.
If it doesn't work, just use a soul fragment instead.
Sighing, Duanmuhuai pushed open the door of the mansion.
However, unexpectedly, this time, what appeared in front of him was not the living room and entrance hall before, but a dark corridor with almost no end in sight.
oh? Any changes?
Seeing this, Duanmuhuai immediately became energetic,
It’s good if there are changes. Although I don’t know whether it’s good or bad, if there are changes, it means there is still hope!
"Be careful."
Duanmuhuai whispered to Ojis and then walked in.
The door slowly closed behind the two of them, and for a moment, the entire corridor fell into a dead darkness. But soon, a torch on the edge of the wall suddenly lit up, illuminating the way ahead.
Duanmuhuai walked forward and saw an oil painting next to the torch. On it was a painting of a man and a strange woman—judging from the intimacy between the two, they should be a couple.
At the same time, the man's voice sounded again.
"At that time...I never thought that I would marry such a woman..."
As the man chanted, the torches lit up one after another, illuminating the road in front of him, and the oil paintings on the wall also appeared one after another as the man explained. He met and got married to his wife, who died after childbirth. The man loved his daughter deeply and swore to his wife that he would take good care of his daughter. However, the good times did not last long as the young daughter became seriously ill and eventually died amidst the man's grief-stricken cry. The man did not give up. He used his knowledge and tried every means to try to resurrect his daughter. In the end... he succeeded, but also failed.
"My daughter has never called me father. Who is she?"
The man's voice roared louder and louder, filled with despair.
"I just hope that my daughter can come back, but why would I create a brand new soul? This is impossible. Shouldn't human memories be stored in the brain? Then, when I resurrect this body , won’t she also regain her original memory?”
That’s it…………
Hearing the man's wailing, Duanmuhuai nodded secretly. Obviously, this man was indeed a scholar. It was obvious from what he described that this man should have adopted a method similar to the one that created Frankenstein to resurrect himself. Daughter, and his idea is quite reasonable - human memories are indeed stored in the brain, so generally speaking, as long as the body can be rejuvenated, the memory should also come back as the brain starts to function again. Yes...
Well, it is just a theory after all, and in such a world, scientific theories may not necessarily be true.
"She is not my daughter, but I love her. I hope she can become my daughter, the most perfect creation. This is my last comfort for my daughter..."
At the same time, Duanmu Huai and Ojisi finally reached the end of the corridor. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door at the end of the corridor again. He saw a man in a white coat sitting dejectedly on a chair. Behind him, there was something like surgery. On the stage, the purple-haired girl was lying there quietly.
Then, the man raised his head and looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Do you think I did something wrong?"
"Frankly speaking...I don't know either."
Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly.
"I can only say that no matter what, your daughter is resurrected again. As for whether this is what you want..."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more, and the man lowered his head again.
"You're right, is this what I want? I don't know myself. On the one hand, as a father, I think I failed. I did not resurrect my daughter. But on the other hand, as a scholar, I am successful again because I create a brand new soul, which is a great feat that even God has not accomplished!”
So, is that the combination of the guilt of being a father and the excitement of being a scholar? No wonder he turned into such a ghost.
"Then, there is only one thing I have to do next."
As he spoke, the man stood up and looked at Duanmuhuai. At the same time, a huge undead skeleton appeared behind him.
"Come on, show me your power!"
"Huh..."
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai felt calm. He stretched out his hand to hold the war hammer and stared at the man.
Things are finally back to what they do best!
