What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 958 Xue Rou, the Queen Without a Master? (Part 2)
The world of Ghost Hunters was in an uproar in just a few seconds.

The mist that originally covered the black smiling face of Haili Kingdom gradually dissipated until it disappeared completely.

"The devouring has stopped?? Has the anomaly been defeated?"

At this moment, all the powerful demon hunters from various countries showed shocked expressions, first in astonishment, then in ecstasy.

At this moment, all the countries, including the Dragon Kingdom and the Gran Kingdom, are focusing their attention on the Haili Kingdom.

Soon, news spread that many people who had been swallowed by the black smiley face were returning to reality one by one, including Jiang Manman and others.

The most terrifying creator god disappeared.

The name Nani spread to various countries, and Shouhou, Lin Xuan'er, and the others all said that Nani saved them. Unfortunately, Nani himself did not seem to appear in the end, and it is unknown whether something unexpected happened.

Nani completely disappeared during this bizarre dungeon, leaving behind only the title of hero who defeated the Black Smiley Face dungeon.

In a room, a girl was in a good mood, picking out underwear. At the same time, she was also preparing many gifts for her brother. Most importantly, Nana's house had been completely renovated.

Nana has cute short hair. At this moment, she has taken off her old white shirt and put on a nicer dress, a light green dress, paired with white sandals. She has transformed from an ordinary girl into a very cute one.

Because her brother gave her ghost coins and strange props, and her brother successfully became a bodyguard, her previously meager funds became more abundant, and she finally gritted her teeth and bought a nice set of clothes and a lot of newly made furniture.

The old, broken refrigerator has been replaced with a new, larger one. Nana also got a new, bigger bed for her brother; the mattress is very soft, and Nana even thought that maybe they could sleep together.

The house has also been redecorated. It used to be a bit run-down, but now it looks brand new. We also bought an extra sofa.

Nana had her eye on this sofa for a long time. The sofa at home was very hard, but this one was incredibly soft. She had wanted to buy it for a long time, and finally did. She was a little reluctant to sit on it, wanting to sit with her brother when they came back.

Currently, only her small room hasn't been renovated yet, because Nana is a bit reluctant to spend the money, so she renovated her brother's room and the living room first.

After Nana's parents died, her life was plunged into despair. The only person by her side was her brother, but her brother used to be a good-for-nothing.

Looking at her brand-new home, Nana was very satisfied.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Nana opened it, and her guard friend handed her a letter. This was a special intelligence transmission between Princess Viya's guards and the Kingdom of Gran, which recorded recent events.

"Thank you." Nana said thank you and took the envelope in her hand. However, she was a little puzzled by the strange look in the eyes of the guard, which seemed to carry a hint of pity and complicated feelings.

The tall guard nodded to her and said, "Your brother saved many people, which is remarkable. To express her gratitude, Princess Viya has upgraded your treatment to that of a personal guard and exempted you from the strange tax."

"Ah... thank you, Your Highness. Is my brother really that amazing?"

Nana was pleasantly surprised; her previously irresponsible brother had suddenly become so reliable.

The tall guard seemed about to say something, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak. He handed the envelope to Nana and then turned to leave.

Nana opened the letter with some doubt. After a few minutes, she finished reading the contents of the letter and stood blankly at the door, motionless. It took her a long time to calm down before she read it again, and then several more times.

All other information was completely lost to her; all she could see was that Nani had completed the final game of Black Smiley, but he himself had vanished without a trace, disappearing forever. He was a hero of the Kingdom of Gran and the world.

When Nana saw the letter, her first reaction wasn't sadness, but rather a sense of bewilderment.

How could her own brother be such a world-saving hero? How could he save the world and not come back? But after watching it several times, she finally realized this reality. By the time she realized it, tears had been flowing for a long time without her noticing.

Nana sat on the new sofa, feeling somewhat lost. Looking at the brand-new furniture and decor around her, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity and fear, even though it had initially brought her joy.

She sat down on the newly bought sofa, feeling somewhat powerless. She felt the softness beneath her and realized that she had finally achieved her long-held dream. Sitting on the sofa she had always wanted, she felt numb and dazed, and the brand-new house in front of her seemed unreal.

She jumped up and, as if fleeing, hid in her unchanging, simple little bedroom. She lay down on the most ordinary bed, curled up, and huddled in the corner without turning on the light, trembling.

After her parents died, her brother also disappeared, leaving her alone in the empty room, which made Nana a little scared.

...

Dragon Kingdom, Fang Hanxin's room.

Bai Wan stared at her arm in a daze.

are you back?

After looking at it for two seconds, Bai Wan felt a little melancholy.

In the end, he was unable to save Ning Yue.

After all, only his clone went in. Even if his main body went in, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome. And the clone would have simply vanished. Nani's body is essentially dead.

He returned to the Dragon Kingdom and left the Gran Kingdom for good.

It must be said that his ability to create clones is indeed very useful.

Bai Wan raised his left hand, and the dragon flame was gently released into his hand.

He inherited all of Nani's power.

The people of Gran should all think he's dead now; he's successfully infiltrated and escaped unscathed.

Suddenly, Bai Wan flashed a picture of Nana, the younger sister of Nani's body, with her somewhat obedient and pitiful face.

"It's just a pity for Nana... her brother is gone, she'll probably be very sad, but there's nothing we can do about it, her brother never existed in the first place." Bai Wan tried to convince herself that the other person never had this brother.

She was originally an orphan who lost both her parents. It was his alter ego that created false memories, adding a touch of warmth to Nana's memories.

Bai Wan has chosen to leave now, and he hasn't done anything wrong. He had no obligation to play the role of the other party's brother and save that girl's life.

That's right, he didn't do anything wrong, and he can't stay Nani forever; he'll have to come back eventually.

Bai Wan started talking to herself, then sat down on the sofa.

He was physically exhausted. In this instance where he was guarding Ning Yue, although the battles weren't that intense, he was mentally drained. Inside, he saw Xue Rou, the living dead, and also Ning Yue, the hairy monster from the past.

Even now, Bai Wan still vividly remembers the scene of Ning Yue's final death.

And the words I kept saying, "See you in the future..."

Bai Wan took out his phone and saw that Mao Guai still hadn't replied to his message, leaving him feeling empty.

Where did the monster go? She said she went to awaken a power, but then she disappeared without a trace…

After separating from the monster, Bai Wan saw a figure exactly like the monster in the Dream Ruins, as well as Ning Yue who looked exactly like the monster. Each of these could very well be an identity from Su Yuening's past.

The more Bai Wan learned, the more confused he became. He didn't know what secrets Su Yuening was hiding, or where she had gone—the Su Yuening he knew.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Wan was stunned for a moment, called out a few times that someone was coming, and went to open the door. He didn't expect anyone to come to Fang Hanxin's house.

But when he opened the door, he was stunned. He saw a white-haired girl standing outside, looking youthful and radiant in the sunlight.

"Ah, so you really are back, Uncle Bai. Hehehe, I just got back too. This time I successfully comprehended an incredible power."

Su Yuening stood outside the door, sunlight filtering through her white off-shoulder t-shirt, casting shadows on her body, while her fitted blue flared pants made her waist appear slender.

At the same time, Su Yuening looked at Bai Wan with a joyful and smug expression.

Bai Wan stared blankly at Su Yuening outside the door for a while before realizing that her somewhat cute and silly smile was the same Mao Guai he knew.

"Huh? What are you spacing out about?" Su Yuening asked, puzzled. She stretched out her snow-white hand and waved it in front of Bai Wan. "Are you alright? Is Grandpa Bai suffering from dementia?"

Su Yuening's voice sounded somewhat puzzled, but before she could say anything, Bai Wan suddenly took two quick steps forward, opened his arms, and hugged Su Yuening tightly.

"!!" Su Yuening was still puzzled, but her smile suddenly disappeared after being hugged, and her whole body quickly turned red.

"well??!"

All of this happened so suddenly.

Su Yuening's body even stiffened slightly.

Bai Wan held her completely in his arms.

After hesitating for a moment, she didn't push Bai Wan away. Instead, she hugged Bai Wan and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't I come back?"

With a slightly flushed face, Su Yuening was curious about what had happened to Bai Wan.
Then they heard Bai Wan exclaim, "Wow! Monster, do you have triplets? I see so many of you!"

"??? What?" Su Yuening was taken aback.

"You're a demon princess, a city lord, and also Miss Ningyue!!"

How many lives do you have?!

"I can't tell the difference."

"???" Su Yuening stared blankly, her mind went blank, and for a moment she didn't know what the stupid old man in front of her who was hugging her and crying was thinking.
What the hell? ? ?

Holy crap, triplets!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute... don't hug me too tightly, I'm starting to feel oxygen-deprived."

Su Yuening tried to push Bai Wan away with one hand, using a lot of force, but Bai Wan's big head kept pushing in her direction, shouting, "Your expression is the silliest. I knew my monster was back."

"????"

"Damn it, what do you mean I look the dumbest? What have you been through?!"

A few minutes later, Su Yuening heard Bai Wan's gesturing explanation and her eyes looked somewhat blank for a moment.

"Really? ...Do you mean you saw three people who look exactly like me, or from different eras and worlds?"

"That's right, really, they must be your reincarnations." Bai Wan also looked at Su Yuening with some doubt.

What's strange is that in those worlds he only saw Su Yuening, and didn't even see himself, Liu Tong or anyone else, nor Zhang Xuerou. In the Yu Kingdom, Xuerou was swallowed up by the dungeon and became a living dead in reality.

Ultimately, he had never heard of reincarnation before. Perhaps Su Yuening was the only one in the world who could be reincarnated, and his own furry monster seemed to be somewhat special.

"Monster, what secret are you hiding?" Bai Wan finally couldn't help but ask.

The Xue Rou incident made him realize that he didn't really understand the people around him, and in order to prevent this from happening again, he decided to ask them for clarification.

Su Yuening looked helpless and said, "I don't know either. What you're talking about about reincarnation seems a bit unbelievable to me. Could my latent awakening ability be reincarnation?"

Su Yuening looked somewhat puzzled.

Bai Wan believed it when he saw Su Yuening's expression; she really didn't know. After all, he trusted Mao Guai a lot, and Mao Guai wouldn't lie to him.

Only the cunning Xue Rou could deceive herself.

Even so, Bai Wan could still sense that Su Yuening was definitely hiding something, but she herself didn't know it. After all, different versions of her would appear in every era, which was really too bizarre.

"I don't know why either, but don't worry, we can find the answer together. Don't worry, no matter what, I am now just... your monster, Su Yuening living in Lancheng, Dragon Kingdom."

Su Yuening hugged Bai Wan and patted his back, signaling him not to overthink things.

Bai Wan's initial nervousness eased, and she nodded.

Because of what happened to Xue Rou, he became somewhat suspicious of everything around him.

Su Yuening then looked at Bai Wan and asked with concern, "How is Xue Rou?"

Bai Wan was silent for a moment, then finally recounted all of Xue Rou's experiences in the dungeons related to the living dead.

After listening, Su Yuening sighed, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

"Is that so... Hmm, that's good. At least until she dies, she will still be the Cheryl we know."

Bai Wan nodded, his gaze somewhat lost in thought. Only now did he recall that during his battle with Xue Rou in the dungeon, a white light shone from Xue Rou's hand as she attacked him, but Xue Rou eventually stopped.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, after all, with Xue Rou's strength, he felt that the other party could not hurt him.

But now that I think about it, that white light was probably Xue Rou's ability, forcibly awakening her.

Xue Rou had already seen through it all; she was currently in clone form and couldn't use too much of her original body's power.

Now, if she forcibly awakens you, the error code will be released in the instance, and your clone will disintegrate instantly.

Just like how his clone disintegrated after he used his main body's power.

This was something he had thought of just a few seconds ago.

That is to say...

Even though Xue Rou was in a state of being a living dead, she ultimately held back against herself; otherwise, he would have already failed the main storyline and everyone would have been wiped out.

Or rather...did Xue Rou really want to kill him back then? Or was Xue Rou just acting that way on purpose to make him decide to kill her?

All of this has become unknown to people since Xue Rou passed away.

However... there is still a huge question hidden in this.

After thinking it over, Bai Wan finally told Su Yuening.

"When Xue Rou died, I smelled a strange fragrance. Moreover, Xue Rou was also very strange. Unlike normal living dead, she had her own intelligence. She even held back at the end."

Su Yue Ning listened with some confusion and fell into thought. After hesitating for a moment, she still said:
"You mean, there's something fishy about Xue Rou's death?"

After saying this, Su Yuening glanced casually out the window, her sorrow growing deeper.

She didn't want to doubt Xue Rou, nor did she want to doubt her friend.

However, there are some things that must be discussed.

Su Yuening took a deep breath and said to Bai Wan, "According to the setting of the living dead, the living dead should not have intelligence. In addition, if Xue Rou really let you go before she died, then it is very likely that she is not a living dead."

In that case, the living dead exist because of the Black Moon. So, you defeated the projection of the Black Moon, and all the living dead disappeared. But if we assume that Sherry isn't a living dead, then she might still be…”

"He's not dead yet," Bai Wan finally said.

He had never really wanted to think about what would have happened if Xue Rou wasn't a living dead. She wouldn't have died even if the Black Moon disappeared, but she died right in front of him. Why was that?

At this moment, Su Yuening recalled Bai Wan's description of Xue Rou's assassination attempt on the captain, and also thought of the legendary unclaimed emperor of the unclaimed land...

Su Yuening stared at Bai Wan, and finally voiced her guess.

"I don't want to think about Xue Rou that way... I hope Xue Rou is truly innocent, but there are just too many mysteries surrounding her."

Bai Wan, do you think she might be... the legendary unclaimed emperor?
