I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 157, Section 111, Chapter 3: The Amnesiac Corridor

Chapter 157 1.11 3 The Hall of Amnesia
The corridor was completely silent at night. The flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the moonlight cast a soft glow, as if draping them in a thin veil.

Light footsteps drifted in as a girl in a white nightgown walked down the corridor.

The cool, silver eyes gazed silently at the black shadows cast by the moonlight on the white stone pillar, a quietness tinged with an eerie undertone.

[hehehehe]
A maniacal, shrill laugh echoed through the corridor, its eerie sound carrying even though the surrounding courtyard was filled with flowers.

Do you desire endless wealth?
Do you want the right to be admired by thousands?
[Offer your sacrifice and make a wish upon me...]
I will give you anything you want...
A vague voice, its true gender indistinguishable, rang in Mu Yegui's ears, seductive and seemingly trying to lure her into darkness.

Mu Yegui remained silent and did not answer it.

Aren't you tempted?
[Don't you want to get revenge on those who ostracize and ignore you?]
This is your only chance...
[Come!]
[Make a wish upon me!]
[I can do anything for you.]
"Can it do anything?" Mu Yegui asked, her tone slightly confused. In fact, she didn't understand what the voice meant.

[Yes, it can do anything.]
[Including making you king instantly!!]
[hehehehe]
[I'm so awesome, right?~~]
"But I haven't even seen you, why should I believe you? What if you're lying to me?" Mu Yegui was not moved at all, but she did begin to doubt what the voice was saying.

Its phrase "I can do anything" implies that it is omnipotent, so the supplement should include the most powerful thing it can do.

The word "king" was new to her.

The phrase 'including making you king immediately' is full of meaning, seemingly hinting at something.

Doesn't the king already possess it?
Why does it say here that she should immediately become the queen?
The opposite of "immediately" is that it should have been done slowly, or more profoundly, it means that many people are competing to become king. But after she makes her wish, she can stand out and immediately skip the selection process to become king.

But what does the word "king" mean?

It's not just about being the king of a country; it also has a deeper meaning, such as the special rights that come with being a king. These rights are unique and not the usual kind of lofty power.

Like a god...

Mu Yegui had this thought because the last sentence of the voice said, "I'm very powerful, aren't I?" This indicated that it was indeed very powerful, and also expressed the king's special status and implied that it was even more powerful.

In conclusion, she could easily deduce that she was currently involved in a king selection process.

This selection process was very unusual, so it makes sense to connect her amnesia with a series of contradictory things she knew.

She is currently involved in a special event.

She is running for king.

Everything that's happening here is fake.

It is bewitching people.

Someone is manipulating all of this.

Are you really that curious about me?
After sorting out all his thoughts, Mu Yegui slowly said, "Yes."

[Then offer me a sacrifice...]
"What do you want?" Mu Yegui looked down at his hands and asked softly.

The phrase "offering sacrifices" has appeared twice already, but now it no longer emphasizes making a wish. In other words, offering sacrifices is the key point, and making a wish is optional and more of a deception.

[Just make a wish to me.]
[I knew what I wanted.]
So it means that it will take an equal offering according to the desires and needs. If you wish for money, you will be taken away from health; if you wish for power, you will be isolated by everyone.

“If I want to become king, what do you want?” Mu Yegui asked.

You will become king!
Its voice suddenly became excited, as if Mu Yegui had fallen into a trap and was overjoyed.

"I said 'if'," Mu Yegui added. She didn't make a wish; she was just tentatively making an assumption.

Then give it your all!
[king……]
[The greatest king...]
[The omnipotent king...]
[To become king, you must have nothing!]
[hehehehe]
It laughed maniacally, its shrill laughter assaulting Mu Yegui's eardrums. She covered her ears but couldn't completely drown out the sound.

To have nothing means to have lost one's life; that is true destitution.

In other words, if you wish to become king, you will die.

It can make you a king, but you won't be able to enjoy it.

Therefore, no one can truly become king.

There are no shortcuts to getting something for nothing; everything will depend on yourself.

[Have you even thought about the answers to all those questions you asked?!]
It's angry.

Mu Yegui roughly understood its meaning: offerings were necessary and could not be refused.

"I've thought of an answer." Mu Yegui turned his head and looked at the long, black shadow of the white stone pillar under the soft moonlight, and said slowly.

[What is it! What is it!]
It asked anxiously, “My offering is the memory of each day. I cannot remember everything that happened the day before. I offer my memories as a sacrifice, so what kind of wish can you grant me?” Mu Yegui took a few steps forward and stood under the soft moonlight, her misty gray hair shimmering with silver light.

The voice fell silent, and it was unclear how long it remained silent.

Mu Yegui remained standing still under the moonlight, without making any movement, as if waiting for its reply.

Must you offer this useless sacrifice?
[How cunning! You clearly don't have any memories that would pique anyone's curiosity.]
The voice thought to itself, sounding very reluctant to accept the offering.

“Every night when I walk through this corridor, I lose all my memories of the day. Instead, I wish to understand all the feelings of others. I don’t expect to be able to empathize, but at least I want to know how they feel at this moment.”

Even without the memory, she instinctively uttered those words. She had noticed during the day that she couldn't perceive others' happiness, anger, or sadness, and even wondered why they displayed such expressions.

If she knew about their relationship, would it mean she could understand the real them?

Whether she has feelings or not doesn't really matter, as long as she can understand other people's feelings, at least that way it might make it easier for her to obtain information.

Because the emotions conveyed in one's tone of voice often represent one's true self, rather than her previous style of simply reading a dry, unadorned statement from a blank page, requiring analysis based solely on key words.

[...the transaction was completed.]
On the first night, offerings were made to the demons.

The Hall of Amnesia is also known as the Hall of Ten Nights.

By the way, the Jealousy dungeon will not have any hints from Filu. All the dungeon content, rules, quests, and even the outline are all in the 'Ten Nights Corridor' section in part 1.

【Ten Nights Corridor】

Longing for a magnificent, luxurious castle,

Chasing after unrealistic dreams in one's heart,
They sang all the way here.
Avoiding the guards,

Pretending to be a maid,

In search of something that cannot exist.

In the secluded East Tower,
It hides a secret known only to its master.

Searching for the golden key to open the tower.
Walk through the mysterious Ten Nights Corridor.

On the first night, offerings were made to the demons.

On the second night, the melodious voice will be stolen by the nightingale.

On the third night, the moonlight shines down, and you can never escape it.

On the fourth night, all was quiet.

On the fifth night, the treasure chest gleamed in the darkness.
