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

Chapter 356, 1.23, 19 Paper Cutting (Inside)

"Because only in this way can the plot be started." A soft, sweet voice slowly rang out from above their heads.

"Mu Yegui... could you please not appear from up there every time?" Beltias said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

Mu Yegui jumped down from the beam and said softly, "I came first." This meant that she didn't intentionally appear from up there, but was hiding there to avoid people, and it just so happened that they were the ones who arrived.

Bertias: "..." How come I always get beaten to it?

"Did you come here with her?" Lan Xiao asked, referring to the room's owner.

"No, I know the address. I arrived before she came back." The address marked on the Nightmare Book was clear, and Rong Yi had also revealed some important information about this instance, although she didn't intend to reveal it.

Since she planned to give the dungeon rewards to one of the two people, she didn't intend to actively attempt the dungeon, nor would she give them any hints. She would simply observe what the two people would do next.

"Does this model represent a dungeon map? Then the owner of the room is the dungeon owner?" Lan Xiao frowned and asked softly.

"If this represents a dungeon map, then wouldn't that combine two maps into one?!" Bertias stared intently at the city model and asked.

Mu Yegui kicked a button under the table, sending it crashing to the ground.

Bertias, Lan Xiao: "..."

"To prevent it from being split into two maps again, this is a safer approach," Mu Yegui said without any awareness of how terrible his actions were.

"Are all girls these days so amazing? I tried to sabotage it just now, but I couldn't." Lan Xiao stroked her smooth chin thoughtfully, seemingly feeling discouraged.

“How is she like a woman? Apart from wearing a skirt, how does she behave like one?” Bertias said helplessly.

"Can I take this as you discriminating against me personally?" Mu Yegui said quietly, his face expressionless.

“Please face your own gender,” Bertias retorted bluntly.

Surprisingly, Mu Yegui fell silent, seemingly deep in thought about the matter.

Mu Yegui pondered for a moment, then earnestly said to Bertias in her soft, sweet voice, "I've been thinking, and since I don't have a gender, I can be a girl."

Bertias: "..." That's not the point, is it? Can a person of the same gender think for that long?

"The person is coming back," Bertias said quickly, as if he had heard something.

“Just walk out.” Mu Yegui walked towards the door, but was stopped by Bertias by the back of his collar.

"What?" Mu Yegui turned her head slightly to look at Bertias, who was holding her, and asked in confusion.

"Are you planning to walk right into a trap?" Bertias asked.

“It’s not like we can’t beat them. The model is already fixed, which means even if she finds out, there’s no way to change it. So the current dungeon owner is just a decoration. The sooner we deal with it, the easier it will be to end the dungeon. Anyway, it’s useless.” Mu Yegui blinked and said seriously.

Why does it sound like they're throwing away toys once they're no longer useful? But...

He thought it made a lot of sense and was somewhat convinced.

"She can't do anything right now. Rather than letting her keep bothering us, we might as well get rid of her. No matter what, the instance won't collapse." After all, the person who truly maintains this instance is not Fu Zixiao but Rong Yi. Fu Zixiao just added something to the empty space.

She had absolutely no intention of seeking revenge, not even a little bit.

"How did you know?" Bertias asked, gradually loosening his grip.

“I used to have spatial abilities, and as a fellow user of space, I am naturally very familiar with the mechanisms of space.” Or rather, no one is more familiar with space than she and Mu Yin.

Bertias paused, then suddenly remembered something, his expression turning serious in an instant. He said coldly, "Have you undergone gene fusion experiments?"

Mu Yegui thought for a moment, then glanced at Bertias with his cool silver eyes and said, "I can't remember most of them, but I did undergo gene fusion. According to what those people said, I was the only successful creation, although in my opinion, that's just what they think."

She comes from the Samuro, the most incomprehensible and extinct warrior race in the galaxy.

Her body cells possess a terrifying phagocytic ability, devouring everything that doesn't belong to her, including genetic cells. In other words, they attempted to modify her, giving her genes from other races, but in reality, those genes were automatically and completely consumed once they entered her body.

She is still Samuro, unchanged.

Because there was no rejection reaction, they thought they had succeeded, which is truly pathetic. Mu Yin was awakened by Nalan Xu at that time, and was probably angered, so he slaughtered all the members of that research institute.

She wasn't entirely sure of the specifics; this happened before her consciousness was awakened. Logically, reading Mu Yin's memories should be as clear as her own experiences, but the assimilation of this world was too severe, and she couldn't remember many things.

This memory is now very blurry, and I can only vaguely recall a few fragments.

"So that's how it is?" Bertias clenched his fists tightly inside his cloak, as if he was enduring something.

"Actually, the experiment failed," Mu Yegui added.

Bertias paused for a moment, then remained silent.

"They couldn't change my genes. There's nothing more unreasonable than the Samuro. Even for the Zerg, the Samuro are their eternal nemesis, the only race they fear. So, the experiment failed, and they didn't even know it until they died. Their so-called success was just their own wishful thinking."

"Everyone has a past that was forced upon them, a painful past. Although I can't feel your pain, I sometimes have doubts about myself."

I am merely an appendage. Am I real or an illusion? Do I truly possess life? Am I truly alive? Or is it all just a figment of my imagination, that I don't actually exist at all…?

Mu Yegui is just a name; who exactly is she?
Is she really alive?

Compared to Mu Yin's authenticity, what is the significance of her existence?
