"Waiting for Luo Luo?"

Jiang Luo looked at the woman in front of him.

The woman nodded.

"This clone is left here to help you grow until you can completely change this bizarre world."

Jiang Luo pulled the lollipop stick out of her mouth and flicked it toward the altar.

"Lolo doesn't lack people to help her, Lolo lacks crystallization."

The woman laughed again.

"You really are different from him."

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean by 'same' or 'different'? Lolo hates riddle people the most."

She glanced back at the woman who was bound by chains.

"Lolo, I have one more question for you. You said you wanted to help Lolo change the bizarre world, how will you do that?"

The woman raised her hand, the chains clanging crisply, and pointed at Jiang Luo's chest.

"You possess two things: the source of calamity and a fragment of the will of a bizarre world. These two things combined could rewrite the rules of this world, but you cannot do so yet."

Jiang Luo paused for a moment, twirling the lollipop stick between her fingers.

The woman continued speaking.

"The Senate has been corrupt for a century, lords are vying for power, the pollution of the abyss is spreading uncontrollably, and the human world has been turned into a pasture."

"Lolo knows all of this."

"Knowing and changing are two different things." The woman's deep red eyes were fixed on Jiang Luo. "You need a key."

Jiang Luo paused for a moment, a look of curiosity on her face.

"What key?"

"The key to rewriting the rules."

Jiang Luo remained silent for two seconds.

"Exactly the same as what Nyarlathotep said."

The woman's smile deepened.

"Did he mention me?"

"He mentioned 'that person,' and Lolo guesses it's you."

"He is cautious, indeed."

"That's not called being cautious, that's called being a jerk."

The woman chuckled softly, and the red light on the chains flashed.

"Child, I can give you this key."

Jiang Luo didn't reply, his red eyes fixed on the chain on the woman's wrist.

The pattern of the chains is exactly the same as the marriage contract chains in the Trial Grounds.

"And the price?"

"No cost."

"Lolo doesn't believe it."

"Then consider it a mother's last bit of help to the heir chosen by her husband."

Jiang Luo's gaze lingered on the woman's face for three seconds.

Then she crouched down, her black leather shoes stepping on the edge of the altar, her gaze level with the woman's.

"Where is Jiang Juechen right now?"

The woman did not answer.

But her gaze went past Jiang Luo's shoulder and landed on the cracked wall behind the altar.

Jiang Luo turned her head in the direction of her gaze.

The cracks in the wall are widening, and a faint red light shines through the depths of the fissures.

Red light seeped out from the crack, shining on Jiang Luo's face and turning his white hair a dark red.

She stared at the wall for three seconds, then turned to look at the woman bound by chains.

"Don't tell Luo Luo that Jiang Juechen is behind that wall."

The woman didn't answer, but just smiled, the chains making a soft clinking sound with her movements.

"He's not behind the wall."

Jiang Luo slung the sickle over his shoulder, but the wariness in his red eyes remained.

"Where is it?"

The woman's gaze shifted from the wall to Jiang Luo, her deep red eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Have you ever thought about what you're standing on?

Jiang Luo lowered her head.

Black leather shoes stepped onto the altar steps, the stone bricks covered with patterns of calamity, the direction of which was exactly the same as the source within her body.

She looked up, her red eyes narrowing slightly.

"Lolo stepped on the Red Moon Castle."

"right."

"you mean……"

The woman nodded.

"Jiang Juechen's true form is the Red Moon Castle itself."

Jiang Luo opened her mouth, and the lollipop slid off the corner of her mouth, which she reflexively caught with her hand.

It felt like something exploded in my head.

The broken iron shell is the system, the system is a fragment of Jiang Juechen's soul, and Jiang Juechen's true form is the Red Moon Castle.

That is to say-

The house she lives in every day is just a dilapidated metal shell?!

(ΩДΩ)

"Wait, wait, wait." Jiang Luo stuffed the lollipop back into her mouth, biting into it and crushing it. "You mean Jiang Juechen is this castle? The whole castle?"

"The entire one."

"Including Lolo's throne, Lolo's bedroom, Lolo's back garden, and Lolo's basement torture chamber?"

"……include."

Jiang Luo:!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ

Jiang Luo took a deep breath.

She sleeps, eats, sits, and even changes her clothes on the broken metal shell every day.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo's face turned green.

"Can he sense everything Lolo does in the castle?"

The woman shook her head.

"He is currently in a deep sleep and cannot perceive anything."

Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Otherwise, Lolo would tear down the entire castle and rebuild it.

"In the Twilight Battle a hundred years ago, Jiang Juechen consumed all his essence to resist the invasion of the Abyss's pollution." The woman's voice was very soft, as if she were telling a story from long ago. "He knew that his body could not withstand the pollution, so at the last moment, he used his remaining strength to do one thing."

"What is it?"

"In one twilight battle after another, he created a body that could perfectly bear the source of calamity."

Jiang Luo opened her mouth again.

"And that body is you."

The hall was silent for five seconds.

Jiang Luo swallowed the crumbs of candy in her mouth with a gulping sound.

Battles at dusk, one after another?

Wasn't the Twilight Battle a hundred years ago only fought once, and it was Luo Luo who fought in place of Jiang Juechen?

The woman saw the doubt in Jiang Luo's heart and continued to explain, "Although you passed the trial, what you don't know is that everything that happened in the trial was the most perfect timeline after countless corrections. Simply put, before you passed the trial, there were hundreds or thousands of Jiang Luos who died in the Twilight Battle."

"The Senate did not withdraw its troops, the Thousand-Eyed Demon God was not sealed, Nyarlathotep transformed into a great terror, and the entire bizarre world was reshuffled."

"This... is the true history."

The woman's voice was terrifyingly cold.

Jiang Luo couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder the system kept guiding her when she was going through the trials; no matter how dangerous the situation, there was always a way out for her.

The truth behind it all is so terrifying...

Jiang Luo couldn't imagine it.

What would happen if we hadn't fought the Battle of Twilight?

"So, Lolo was made from a broken metal shell from birth?"

"That's one way to understand it."

"He created Lolo just to help him win the Twilight Battle?"

"No, it's inheritance."

"What's the difference?" Jiang Luo rolled his eyes. "Luo Luo inherited his origins, his castle, and his wife's chains. Now, even the Senate he offended has to be dealt with by Luo Luo."

She took the sickle off her shoulder and planted the handle on the ground.

"This isn't inheritance, this is taking over a burden."

The woman paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, causing the red light on the chains to tremble.

"You're much more interesting than that blockhead Jiang Juechen."

"Lolo doesn't want to be like him. With his personality, he deserves to be tricked into a soul fragment."

The woman did not refute this statement.

Jiang Luo squatted by the altar, the toes of his black leather shoes tapping against the stone bricks intermittently.

"How is he now?"

"Sleeping." A glint flashed in the woman's deep red eyes. "And she should be waking up soon."
