I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.
Chapter 167, Section 111, Chapter 12: The Amnesiac Corridor
Chapter 167 1.11 12 The Hall of Amnesia
“The moonlight shines down, and you can never escape it…” Jealousy said slowly as she looked at Mu Yegui returning from the market.
Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback.
Jealousy scoffed, then coldly retorted, "Do you know what that means?"
Her cool, silver eyes glanced at the silver ring on her finger, then she looked up at the warm sunlight in the garden and nodded slowly at Jealousy.
"Good to know, you only get one chance." Jealousy glanced at her, then walked away with a cold face.
Mu Yegui pursed her pink lips. Those words meant she wouldn't be able to leave the corridor, which meant…
captivity……
Or it could be interpreted as the only remaining opportunity to freely search for the golden key is today.
Mu Yegui turned her head and looked at the faintly shimmering mark of jealousy on a white stone pillar in the corridor, her fair fingertips gently touching it.
A series of messages were fed into my mind.
Use the golden key to open the gates of the East Tower...
This is contradictory. She clearly won't be able to move around freely starting tonight, so why are there such harsh conditions under these circumstances? It's as if they don't want her to do anything at all.
Wait a minute, if you think about it this way, then this instance itself is actually a place full of contradictions and dead ends.
They said it was for punishment, but actually they just wanted her dead.
Therefore, she doesn't need to take it too seriously, and sabotage is acceptable if necessary. She didn't hear the rules, so this instance has no rules whatsoever. Since there are no rules, it means that violations are impossible, making everything reasonable.
Even after suddenly learning the truth, she felt no panic or fear, only calmness.
She looked down at the two rings on her left hand, her cool silver eyes filled with a hint of confusion. She should know everything now; Shui Qi had told her a lot, but she still felt like something was being kept from her.
He held the black ring on his middle finger with his right hand, turning it as he pondered something.
"Want some cookies?" A deep, magnetic male voice came from beside me, followed by a bag of cookies in front of me.
Stopping her unconscious twirling of the ring, Mu Yegui looked up and saw a black-haired man in a black robe standing before her, holding a large bag of biscuits. His beautiful, clear, dark purple phoenix eyes were fixed on her, and his handsome face wore a gentle smile.
"Thank you." Mu Yegui moved her lips, then reached into the bag and picked up a bear-shaped cookie.
These cookies are full of childlike fun, but they give people an extremely cute and friendly feeling.
Mu Yegui looked at it hesitantly. She couldn't taste anything, so all food was essentially the same to her. However, she had already taken it, and it would be impolite not to eat it, and also a waste of food.
“It’s delicious.” Gluttony bent down slightly, took the cookie from Mu Yegui’s hand, and then put it in her mouth.
Forced to eat the biscuit, Mu Yegui could only chew it, but unexpectedly, she tasted it for the first time—a strange flavor that was both sweet and salty.
"It's not that you have no sense of taste, it's just that human tastes don't suit you, so you can't taste it." Gluttony casually grabbed a cookie and stuffed it into his mouth, then handed the bag of cookies in his hand to Mu Yegui.
Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. Why did this person know so much, and even... who was he?
"Probably gluttony... I guess..." Gluttony frowned, reluctant to say his own name.
'What's your name?' Mu Yegui tilted her head and looked at him, mouthing the question.
Binge eating: "..." I don't really want to say anything.
Unlike jealousy, which stems from an inability to let go of the past and a reluctance to be called by one's own name, he simply felt his name was too feminine and therefore didn't want to tell anyone.
Mu Yegui stared at him silently without any intention of moving away. Gluttony pursed his lips, seemingly unable to bear being stared at like that by Mu Yegui. He took half a step back, turned his head, and one could vaguely see his slightly flushed face.
He said in a voice barely audible, "Rong Yi, this is..."
The cool, silvery pupils suddenly contracted, almost instantly transforming into vertical pupils, only to return to their original state the next second.
She looked down at the black ring on her finger, lost in thought, feeling that something was amiss.
"You'd better stay away from jealousy." With his long, dark hair cascading over his shoulders, he grabbed Mu Yegui's wrist and placed the bag of cookies in her hand, speaking softly.
Stay away from jealousy?
Rong Yi walked to the stone pillar, stared at the totem, and slowly said, "Because that person was jealous... No one has a stronger destructive desire than him... Whether it's something he wants, something he doesn't want, or something he can't get, the final result in him is that everything is destroyed. This person is a born destroyer, and he doesn't allow anything to remain intact in front of him."
"I heard that when he was found, he was in a slum, and his situation was very pitiful and miserable. So he developed an extreme personality from a young age that was competitive and destructive if he couldn't get what he wanted, and he still is now."
He couldn't possibly understand this kind of mentality, since everyone comes from different backgrounds, so he couldn't possibly put himself in the shoes of someone who was jealous.
However, it is precisely because of this mentality that he always demands perfection from himself. He wants to learn everything that arrogance knows and everything that arrogance does not know.
So he naturally became the object of jealousy, and then single-handedly built an entertainment kingdom that was no less powerful than the other five kingdoms.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the eternal emperor of the entertainment kingdom...
Therefore, he has enough right to look down on others.
'Is it just because of a destructive urge?' Mu Yegui asked, moving his lips slightly.
"More than anything, it's jealousy that sees arrogance as its lifelong enemy. Even if the latter doesn't want to be his enemy at all, he's always provoking him. The fundamental reason I want you to stay away is that I don't want you to get involved in their struggle. After all, when gods fight, mortals suffer, and even I don't want to get involved."
The situation he described here is actually quite mild. To put it more seriously, it's that he was so jealous that he was constantly thinking about dying from arrogance.
He takes arrogance very seriously every time, which always leads to major incidents. Last time, the royal city was almost completely destroyed, and it took a lot of effort to rebuild it.
"I see, thank you for reminding me." Mu Yegui nodded, but it seemed she had no way to avoid getting involved; it was as if she had been tricked from the very beginning.
She wasn't quite sure before, but now that Rong Yi said this, she roughly knew who wanted her dead...
Who else could it be but jealousy?
Gluttony Beauty is truly an angel!!!
Also, I want monthly votes! Be proactive!!
