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

Chapter 436, 1.27-17: A Bouquet of Blessings

After a simple breakfast, Mu Yegui returned to her room.

Even in the dungeon, this breakfast still didn't fill her up. However, to avoid suspicion, she obediently ate it, doing exactly what she always did.

The woman who claimed to be her mother was very kind to her, even though she couldn't taste the real flavor of breakfast or feel the woman's love.

She tried to recall how human children would behave after receiving love from their parents, but because her face was stiff, she could only manage a slight expression. However, the woman burst into tears.

Why is she crying?
Shia's room looked very simple, but it had all the necessary furniture.

only……

Mu Yegui walked to the table, his fingertips tracing a mark on the surface, indicating that it hadn't been cleaned in a long time and was covered in dust.

There was an old diary on the table, waiting to be read.

Mu Yegui gently opened the diary on the table and found that it recorded the contents of each day, but after the seventh day, it was blank.

Is this 'Shia's' diary?

No, the handwriting appears to be hers, but she has no memory of it.

[Day 1]
[Ghafar said: Miracles are those that are impossible in reality. I can only grow the flower of miracles by creating miracles, but I don't even have the seeds, so how can I plant them?]
Afra and Mipal are Shia's childhood friends. I shouldn't have refused their invitation. If possible, I should have gone on an adventure with them.

Since miracles are only possible in reality, if I could have feelings like Xiaoyin's, would that also be considered a miracle?

I hope the side effects of the tranquilizers disappear...

Annie, who lives in the cemetery, knows the secret of this town's cyclical nature. Looking at those tombstones, I felt as if those were the townspeople's homes. If that's truly the case, then what kind of existence does this town have now?
……

[Day 7]
[The Vatican's servants will be here today; it seems the plot is about to begin.]
Mu Yegui stared intently at the contents of the book, pondering a series of events. Her brow furrowed slightly, as if something was amiss. This diary recorded past events; could it mean she had returned to the very beginning of the instance?

Why is this happening?

What happened back then...?

Mu Yegui slowly closed the book. Although there were many parts that felt out of place, since there were some things that hadn't been done before, he decided to finish them this time.

Let's just pretend she's already done the dungeon once, and then start over from scratch.

If you know what's going to happen next, then everything becomes very simple.

Of course, she didn't think things would go as described in the diary, and that things would definitely change.

"Shia! Shia! Come out! Didn't we agree to go on an adventure in the forest together?" A mixed voice of a man and a woman came from not far downstairs.

Mu Yegui pushed open the door and saw the boy and girl smiling and waving at her, as if they were treating her as a childhood friend, completely unaware that she was actually a fake 'Shia'.

"You've arrived very early," Mu Yegui said slowly, looking at the two people standing outside the fence.

"Because I've been looking forward to this for so long, and Shia finally agreed to my invitation. Although there have always been terrible rumors about that forest, I'm really curious to see what I'll encounter!" Afra said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Aren't you afraid I'll leave and refuse you if you say it so bluntly?" Mu Yegui turned around and walked down the stairs, speaking slowly.

"Huh? Is Shia going to refuse?" Afra looked pitifully at Mu Yegui as he approached, and said aggrievedly. Mu Yegui: "..." He felt a sense of powerlessness, as if his intelligence had been rubbed into the ground.

"Come on, come on, I've been looking forward to this for so long~" Afra puffed out her cheeks and said coquettishly.

"You'd better agree. If you refuse, Afra will start making a scene again," Mipar said helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

"Let's go." Mu Yegui opened the door and walked out.

"Yay! Shia is the best!" Afra opened her arms and hugged her, while Mu Yegui took a step back to show his disgust.

Afra missed her target, pouted, and gave her a wronged look.

Mu Yegui: "..." This is too enthusiastic, I can't handle it.

Just as Mu Yegui turned to leave with the two, Jiafaer slowly walked out of the house, his face bearing his usual sunny smile. "Do you need me to come pick you up later?"

Mu Yegui shook his head and said, "I will come back on my own."

Jafar raised an eyebrow and chuckled helplessly. "Well then, have a safe journey."

Mu Yegui nodded, and then followed the bouncy Afra toward the forest.

Jafar stared intently at the departing figures of the three, his smile gradually fading. A barely perceptible chill flickered in his azure eyes as he glanced at the sunflowers facing away from the sun.

Because it has abandoned the light of faith and gone against the grain, this kind of sunflower is also known as the 'immoral sunflower'.

As the name suggests, it violates rules and morality, abandons the light, and attempts to move closer to darkness.

“Since I have already betrayed my mission, I have no intention of bowing down and admitting defeat.” Jafar reached out and looked at the white horse chess piece in his palm, then closed his hand and crushed it into pieces bit by bit.

A gentle breeze blew by, scattering the white powder that had fallen from her palm into the air and ruffling the loosely tied gold ribbon in her hair.

The next second, the headband was blown away into the distance, and her long silver hair was scattered all over her back.

His handsome face was softened by the wisps of hair, and his sea-blue eyes gazed quietly into the distance as he let out a long sigh.

He took out a remaining red hairband from his pocket, stared at it for a long time, and after much hesitation, decided to use it to tie his long hair back. It wasn't a high ponytail as usual; it was simply tied into a bunch and hung down behind his head.

Compared to the previous clean and crisp style with a touch of naivety, he has now shed that naivety and left behind maturity and composure, as if he has grown up in an instant.

"Jiafar, I need to go to the flower shop. Could you please take care of the flowerbeds for me for the time being?" A woman's gentle voice came from inside the house.

"I'm coming right away," Jafar replied casually without turning around.

But in his heart, he was wondering whether he should follow along as before.

After all, there are some unpleasant things in that forest, and she probably wouldn't be able to deal with them if she couldn't use force.

Although they are different, they are actually the same thing. After all, it's a restart. Saying the same thing, the choices are completely different.

So, let's play spot the difference.
