Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"The serial killer of Q cases, is she?!"

This confirmed Cheng Cheng's suspicions. Just as Cheng Cheng was about to intervene, he saw Xiao Mu, who was curled up in a ball on the bed, suddenly stop moaning, wake up from her sleep, and then widen her eyes, blurting out:

"Alas!"

The next moment, Xiao Xiao Mu's original childlike innocence dissipated rapidly, and the pure ignorance in her eyes was replaced by a holy and cold Buddhist nature!

Although it was the same face, her hair, eyebrows, and temperament were subtly resembling Kasyapa's appearance.

After a moment, Kasyapa Ruomu nodded in satisfaction and released his hand. Xiao Mu sat up from the bed, but he was no longer the child he had been before. Even the hooded shirt and blue and white checkered sleeveless vest dress he was wearing had somehow transformed into the blue kasaya that Kasyapa Ruomu was wearing!

A hint of confusion flashed in "Little Mu's" eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a Buddhist-like nature. She crossed her legs on the bed, put her hands together in prayer towards Kasyapa Ruomu, who was sitting beside the bed, and said:

"Amitabha Buddha... I never imagined that I was an incarnation of the World-Honored One!"

? Chapter 140, past lives, past lives

"Great Immortal Venerable, surrender obediently and I'll grant you a quick death!"

"Q-Heavenly Demon Lord, don't even think about resisting! Today, we, the Joyful Hotel, have joined forces to crush your demonic lair!" Magical girl Mu☆Mu☆Lu said in a deep voice. "A net has already been laid here, and this time you will surely be beheaded!"

"You damned demon lord, you've slew everyone in the hotel for Q's sake!" Officer Rabbit gritted his teeth. "You've committed unforgivable and heinous crimes!"

"Qi Tian Demon Lord, three days ago you violated me and took my virginity!" Xiao Xiao Mu trembled with rage. "From that moment on, I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood! Today, I will make you wish you were dead!!"

The Great Love Immortal, dressed in a tattered emerald green robe, with disheveled hair and covered in blood, looked around.

The air conditioner blew, causing the blood-red robe to flutter and rustle like a battle flag.

Bright red blood gushed from hundreds of wounds on his body. After standing for only a short while, a large pool of blood had already accumulated at the feet of the Great Love Immortal Venerable.

Surrounded by a group of people shrouded in purple, there was no way out.

The outcome is already decided; we are doomed to die today.

The Great Love Immortal Venerable had a clear understanding of the situation, but even with death looming, she remained calm and composed.

Her gaze was deep and unfathomable, like a still well, as she looked at the person deepest in the crowd: "Kasyapa... Ruomu."

“It is indeed this humble monk.” Kasyapa Ruomu slowly stepped out from Mu Zimi, his eyes lowered and a smile on his face. “Stop resisting, hand over the Spring and Autumn Cicada, and this humble monk can grant you a painless death.”

"Metis, Mumu Lu, Little Mu, Officer Rabbit... what did you do to them?"

In the eyes of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, those Mu Zimi who besieged her still looked the same as before, but inside they had long since become Kasyapa's puppets!

"What did you do?"

Kasyapa Ruomu tilted his head and said with a smile, "This humble monk did nothing... It was they who realized their past lives, saw their 'true selves,' took refuge in Buddhism, and became 'united as one' with us."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zimi and her companions exchanged smiles, completely shedding their pretenses. A white hair appeared between their brows, and they joined hands to sing in unison: "Universal harmony, stars shining brightly, supreme merits praised by the divine lord! People of the world are of one mind, all things share the same root, the wind of blessing sweeps across the earth!"

"I see... that's how it is."

Is Kasyapa's goal to assimilate all the guests of the Pleasure Hotel into "himself"?

But why did she do this? And why now?

As Mu Zimi and the others drew closer, memories from past lives that did not belong to her flashed through the mind of the Great Love Immortal Venerable—memories that belonged to Kasyapa. Once these memories engulfed the Great Love Immortal Venerable, she would lose herself and become Kasyapa herself, just like the other Mu Zimi!

While being assimilated into 'himself' by Kasyapa, the Great Love Immortal Venerable also continuously probed Kasyapa Ruomu's memories, finally learning the whole truth—

"Alas! I am actually the incarnation of the World Honored One... No, I am not! I am Gu Yue Fang Yuan, the Great Love Immortal Venerable!"

The Great Love Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth and continued to peruse Kasyapa's memories. After a long while, his gaze toward Kasyapa was filled with apprehension: "So... this is Mu Zimi's spiritual world, and we are all 'Mu Zimi's' personalities."

Kasyapa smiled but remained silent.

"And the essence of our so-called 'personalities' is..."

"Mu Zimi's 'Reincarnation Past Life'".

“That’s right,” Kasyapa Namo nodded, “and I am the very first incarnation, the disciple of the World-Honored One, the beginning of everything.”

"My disciple Mahakasyapa Ruomo will, in future lives, be able to pay homage to three hundred million billion Buddhas… In his final life, he will become a Buddha, named the Tathagata of Light…"

Combining Kasyapa Ruomu's memories, the Great Love Immortal Venerable understood the meaning of this sentence: The World-Honored One told the public that his disciple, Mahakasyapa Ruomu, would go through a hundred lifetimes and become a Buddha in the future; and whether it was the Great Love Immortal Venerable, or Little Mu, Rabbit Officer, Magical Girl Mu☆Mu☆Lu... they were all Kasyapa's "future lives" in one cycle of reincarnation.

Each time these beings fall into the cycle of reincarnation, they enter the mind of their "self" in the next reincarnation, existing in a form similar to a "personality".

Now, in the hundredth generation, there is a girl named "Mu Zimi".

Ninety-nine past-life souls were crammed into Mu Zimi's mind, causing her to suffer from mental schizophrenia since childhood. In order to save her younger sister, Mu Yuan joined the Primordial God Cult and, with the help of the cult leader and others, created this spiritual world, imprisoning all her past-life personalities within it.

From then on, Mu Zimi returned to a normal life, and without doing anything, she could hear a bunch of people arguing in her mind.

Within the mental prison, over the long years, one personality after another was thrown into QQ Space by Kasyapa Ruomu, eventually assimilated into Kasyapa... Until today, she completely tore off the disguise, intending to assimilate all the remaining personalities, finally break free of the mental prison, and descend into reality!

“And at that time, you will join me in assimilating all the ‘primordial demons’ of this world, and thus attain Buddhahood,” Kasyapa said wistfully. “Wouldn’t that be better? Don’t you want to achieve the supreme Buddhahood?”

"Besides, hasn't this always been your practice?"

The Great Love Immortal Venerable remembered.

In the world of Gu Lai Xi Gu, she endured countless hardships to finally achieve ten cycles of immortality, but at the crucial moment, she was ambushed and assimilated by the past life of Kasyapa, which was lurking deep within her soul, thus falling into the cycle of reincarnation and ultimately arriving in Mu Zimi's spiritual world—

"So, in each of my incarnations, I was a pawn used by the World-Honored One to seize the origin of a certain world... But why was I able to become a Buddha in the hundredth incarnation? And how is this world any different?"

Kasyapa did not answer, but the Great Love Immortal Venerable quickly found the answer in Kasyapa's memories—

This world, called "Earth," has been invaded by the Abyss. Nine primordial demons, carrying primal essences, have descended upon this place. By linking and unifying the nine primal essences through twenty-two paths, one can achieve the ultimate tenth primal essence, the "Crown," symbolizing supreme divinity.

This is the "Buddhahood" promised by the World-Honored One—the immortal crown.

And this girl named Mu Zimi is the hundredth incarnation of Kasyapa, a pawn of the World Honored One, reincarnated into this world...

"She was born as the primordial [foundation], a chaotic demon."

Kasyapa Ruomu had already walked up to the Great Love Immortal Venerable, reached out and grabbed her neck, and sighed: "Only when I break free from the mental prison and descend into reality can I use the World Venerable's power of 'harmony' to transform infinite chaos into unified harmony, and thus become a [basic] true god, and compete with other true gods and primordial demons for the remaining source matter and blasphemous tokens."

"So do you understand now? Great Love Immortal Venerable, give up resisting. Obediently become a part of 'us,' and become the most dazzling diamond in the Immortal Crown."

At this moment, the gray-white rocks beneath the feet of the Great Love Immortal Venerable had long been stained dark red with blood. His face, pale from excessive blood loss, suddenly gained a radiant glow under the sunset.

Looking at the green mountains and the setting sun, the Great Love Immortal Venerable smiled softly: "Green mountains and the setting sun, autumn moon and spring breeze. Truly, the morning is like black hair and the evening is like snow, right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the blink of an eye."

As she said this, images of Gu Lai Xi Gu from her past life suddenly flashed before her eyes.

"Unfortunately, my beloved Immortal Venerable has never been anyone's pawn in this life, not even my past life, not even the World Venerable!"

The Great Love Immortal Venerable laughed loudly, and just as Kasyapa Ruomu was filled with doubt, he suddenly exploded!

Spring and Autumn Cicadas!

She still has a chance; she can go back in time and change everything!

…………

"...The above is the story that the Great Love Immortal Venerable told me when he found me."

It was raining outside the hotel.

Motis gripped Cheng Cheng's hand and told him everything she knew: "After she returned to the past, she intended to tell all the Mu Zimis the truth and unite them to defeat Jia Ye Ruo Mu... However, just after telling me, she encountered a 'variable' that had never appeared in her previous life—you."

"So, she gave up on telling anyone and lay in ambush, intending to knock you unconscious and then use the 'Immortal Path Killing Move - Facing Without Recognizing' to transform into your appearance and act accordingly—after all, Kasyapa might not attack you, and she wanted to survive by using your identity."

"As for me, I didn't believe her at first... but after her failed ambush on Kasyapa and revealed the truth about Kasyapa Ruomu, I realized the danger. That's why I planned this series of locked-room q-people cases, with the aim of killing all Mu Zimi in advance to prevent them from being assimilated by Kasyapa."

As Metis said this, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes: "...Only in this way can we prevent everyone from becoming someone they are not, which would probably be worse than death..."

"I didn't want to involve you in this, but I found out you're really strong—Mr. Mambo. I'm a little embarrassed, but I hope you can help us defeat Kasyapa Ruomu!"

There was too much information, and Cheng Cheng's mind was a bit confused.

First and foremost—Mu Zimi is actually a primordial demon?

But why didn't I feel the pressure of the primordial status when I saw her before? Did Mu Yuan and the people of the Primordial God Cult use some secret technique, or is it only when Kasyapa replaces Mu Zimi's main personality that he can use the primordial authority?

Secondly, there really are aliens, Buddhas, and reincarnation in this world...

Kasyapa is a disciple of the Buddha. In hundreds of reincarnations, she has come to different worlds, seized the origin of each world, and entered the cycle of reincarnation again. This last time, she has her sights set on Earth. If such a dangerous person were to break free of her mental prison and descend into reality, would she be a match for him in the real world?

Obviously not.

In order to defeat the demons of the [Victory] war, so many sacrifices, so many plans, and so much combat power were made in the game world to barely succeed;

Does the Genshin Impact cult in reality possess Source Material? Does it have enough legendary figures?

All are unknown.

Therefore, it is necessary to thwart Kasyapa Ruomu's plan here and stop her from continuing to assimilate the remaining Mu Zimi!

“Mr. Mambo, everyone in the entire Joy Hotel is a ‘reincarnation’ of Kasyapa, and therefore will be easily assimilated by her,” Metis said seriously. “And you are the only exception. So, I want you to help hold Kasyapa back, and then I will… go to QQ Space.”

"QQ Space? Isn't that where the Great Love Immortal Venerable is punished? What are you doing there?" Cheng Cheng asked, puzzled.

“QQ Space is an independent space where time flows much faster than in the outside world. It doesn’t belong to Kasyapa Ruomu, but… she uses it the most.” Motis paused for a moment before telling Cheng Cheng the true nature of QQ Space. “The so-called QQ Space was originally a ‘room where you can’t leave without using QQ a hundred times,’ but because Kasyapa Ruomu used it the most, it gradually became tainted with Kasyapa’s aura.”

"Therefore, people in QQ Space have to QQ to leave, but every time they QQ, they will be tainted by Kasyapa's aura. After QQing a hundred times, they will be completely assimilated into Kasyapa."

Cheng Cheng frowned: "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

“If it were just Great Love Immortal Venerable or me alone inside, it would certainly be dangerous. In the past, QQ Space could only accommodate one person at most,” Motis said. “But now, Great Love Immortal Venerable is inside! As long as Great Love Immortal Venerable and I exchange QQ messages, we won’t be corrupted by the Kasyapa personality within QQ Space!”

"Once we exchange 100 Qs, we can bring out the Great Love Immortal Venerable—she is the strongest besides Kasyapa. Without her, how can we face the two Kasyapas?"

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Cheng and Metis exchanged a glance and continued discussing their plan to fight against Kasyapa...

…………

The rain keeps falling.

Kasyapa Ruomu looked at the little Mu who had been impersonated by him, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Successful.

Previously, I always felt that using QQ Space to assimilate Mu Zimi and her fans was too slow. Now, with this "Immortal Killing Move: Great Thief Ghost Hand", I can convert them by simply taking advantage of their inattention and attacking them with QQ Space.

The most troublesome one, the Great Love Immortal Venerable, has already entered QQ Space, and Little Mu has also been assimilated. Next, we need to find the hidden Motis.

I have a feeling that the actions of the Great Love Immortal and Metis have suddenly changed, as if they've sensed something. I must eliminate both of them; besides that, there's another problem…

Hakimi Mambo.

Kasyapa Rinpoche could swear to the Buddha that he had never had a "next life" as a man.

So, who is this man?
