Chapter 151 Aura's Diary
Although Jiang Ran was somewhat annoyed by Majik's shameless attitude, she still planned to deal with the outlet mall issue first.

As the silver lines on the card gradually subsided, especially after the silhouette resembling an outlet mall was completed, the outlet mall's eyes gradually lost their luster.

Majik got up from the ground, casually brushed the dust off his clothes, and said softly, "Master, can we..."

Before he could finish speaking, a black mist suddenly rose from Outlet's body.

Even the silver threads on the cards seemed to be gradually eroded by the black mist!

Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed.

A look of struggle flashed across Outlet's face, his expression a mixture of pain and arrogant contempt.

He struggled to control his tongue, managing to say with difficulty, "You...have no idea...what kind of being you've provoked..."

As he spoke, the black mist around him suddenly gathered together, condensed into a black droplet, fell into the air, and created faint ripples.

The ripple spread slowly like ink in a painting, forming a circular, distorted space.

Jiang Ran immediately understood what the outlet mall was really up to.

Without hesitation, she pulled out a specially made dagger, its blade gleaming with an ominous, dark blue hue.

Outlet looked at the teleportation tunnel that was almost complete in front of him and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

However, the smile froze on his face.

He couldn't even make out Jiang Ran's figure, let alone see the extremely thin scar that was slowly appearing on her throat.

Outlet Mall felt that the scene before her was becoming increasingly blurry, and she seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant.

Just one more second... and the Holy Maiden will descend with her majesty...

He tried to move his lips, but could only make a "hoarse" sound before collapsing unwillingly.

As the outlet died, the increasingly violent ripples suddenly froze, and then shattered like glass.

But as the teleportation portal disappeared, a clear female voice rang out: "Jiang Ran, I will come to find you."

Majik subconsciously looked at Jiang Ran, only to see her slightly curl the corners of her lips: "...Saintess?"

The air was completely silent; the woman's voice could probably only send out this one sentence through the teleportation channel.

But this also means that Jiang Ran's plan to use her outlet mall identity to get close to the saintess has failed.

She wasn't too discouraged; she had dealt with the two people sent by the Holy Maiden in a short time, and the other party probably wasn't having an easy time either.

Although her identity was exposed, she wasn't as nervous as she had imagined.

After all, the Holy Maiden already knew the name "Jiang Ran," didn't she? As long as they couldn't find Jiang Ran's real game ID, they still wouldn't pose much of a threat to her.

Jiang Ran also found this somewhat interesting—although it's rare in games, there are still skills or items that can reveal someone's true identity through their game ID.

Conversely, however, I have never heard of a skill that can deduce a game ID from a real name.

Whether it's a bug or a deliberate countermeasure left by the game is hard to say. Jiang Ran only knows that while real names can be duplicated, game IDs cannot. In short, at most, she's now been given a name by the Holy Maiden, who knows that the young lady is Jiang Ran.

Unfortunately, the person behind the young lady's skin isn't Jiang Ran.

The only regret is that I haven't been able to get more information from the outlet mall.

However, Jiang Ran still dared not take the risk of confronting the Holy Maiden rashly without knowing anything about her strength.

Judging from what the outlet mall just did, this saintess is probably not someone to be trifled with.

However, Jiang Ran gradually figured out a bit about the game's balance—in the Land of Exile, the more powerful a being on Paro Island is, the more restrictions they face.

On the contrary, "ordinary players" like Jiang Ran can unleash their full potential without restraint.

This is a good thing; Jiang Ran also felt like she was "playing on home turf."

She stared at the spot where the teleportation circle had disappeared and began searching through her personal space to see if the outlet mall had left her any interesting relics.

Nowadays, for Jiang Ran, clicking on the inheritance plunder first has almost become muscle memory, no matter who she wants to kill, and the outlet mall is no exception.

And indeed, they found something.

Hmm... a diary of Aura's unrequited love.

Because the first page of the diary has a sentence written on it: "Whenever she calls me Aura, I feel my body burning from my heart."

Although the existence of this thing is really something that makes people frown, after reading the entire diary, Jiang Ran said: the more the merrier.

Because the one whom this so-called Aura secretly loves is the great, radiant, pure, and perfect Saintess: Muya.

Yes, Jiang Ran even learned the saintess's name from this diary filled with the thoughts of a young man.

Because Aura wrote in her diary, with a bittersweet tone, "Only here do I dare to call your name aloud, Muya. Every time I utter those two words, my whole body trembles with excitement. But no matter how fiery my heart burns, when faced with your perfect face, I can only lower my head, suppress all my emotions deep within, and call you 'Saintess'..."

Jiang Ran couldn't fully comprehend the depth of Aura's passionate and bittersweet feelings for Saint Muya, but looking at the Saint's name prominently displayed before her, she certainly had many thoughts...

Aside from providing the names of Aura and the saintess, this diary contains nothing of value; it is entirely Aura's account of her longing and suffering.

Having witnessed the Holy Seed, Jiang Ran had also wondered: how much of this fervor truly stemmed from Aura's heart, and how much was influenced by the Holy Seed?
Although Jiang Ran didn't know which city on Paro Island Aura came from, he always felt that Aura was different from the "walking dead" on Paro Island.

Perhaps he came from Sunset City, or somewhere else.

In addition, in the last entry of her diary, Jiang Ran unexpectedly confirmed the reason why Aura was so shocked by her taking over the young lady's identity.

Just as Jiang Ran had guessed, for Aura, and even for everyone on Paro Island, this act of stripping away or even creating an identity was the work of a god.

Even the Holy Maiden is merely a medium through which the gods manifest their power.

Just like Aura, who was able to seize the identity of the outlet mall through the "blessing" of the saintess.

On the other hand, Aura also briefly mentioned that the Holy Maiden seemed to be worried about something recently, and it was a pity that she could not share her worries.

It can be said that they truly shared in the worries of the Holy Maiden and rejoiced in her joys.
