I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"Game Over!" X100

"This is impossible!" Xia Dou's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like an angry cat with her fur standing on end.

He lost a hundred times in a row, leaving her breathless and unable to utter any more of his usual witty remarks.

"One hand, you're only allowed to use one hand!" Xia Dou, her eyes bloodshot from losing, abandoned any thought of a fair fight and announced the new rules.

"Maido" slowly raised one hand behind her back, and it was her dominant right hand that was behind her back, holding the handle with only her left hand, facing the enemy with one hand.

"Game Over!" 100 times.

Xia Dou's hair was disheveled, her face was ferocious, and she looked like she wanted to devour someone.

"You're not allowed to use your hands!"

No problem, a martial artist's feet are just as agile.

Even after completely restricting "Maido's" hands and feet, leaving her only able to control the controller with her tongue, Xia Dou still suffered another hundred consecutive defeats.

Xia Dou knelt down with a thud, her whole body went limp, and her eyes filled with tears.

"You bullied me!" Xia Dou burst into tears.

After winning hundreds of rounds in a row, "Maido," whose face was almost contorted with laughter, finally couldn't hold back and burst into wild laughter.

"Xia Dou, you still need to practice!"

"I'm not playing with you anymore!" Xia Dou ran away, slamming the door behind her.

Maiduo chased after Xiadou to the door, leaned on the railing, and shouted, "Xiadou, you forgot your game console!"

"Waaah, it's all your saliva, I don't want it anymore!"

As the little girl disappeared at the end of the street, "Maido" shook her head repeatedly.

"Tsk, this little girl is so easily teased."

Crunch!

The sound of a door opening came from the side, and Ulan Aodeng and Ulan Haisang, one old and one young, poked their heads out from next door, looking at "Maido" with reproachful eyes.

"Maiduo, I can't stand it anymore even from next door! Can't you give way to your girlfriends?" Dengyan said.

"You made her cry. What if she really stops playing with you in the future? I know you're too embarrassed to admit it, so clean up the game console and give it to me. I'll go apologize to you!" Ulan Haisang worried about his sister.

Maido was quite helpless about this.

"Don't you guys have anything better to do all day? How do you have the leisure to meddle in these trivial matters?"

This is the apocalypse! Boss Bai has protected you too well, so you can be so relaxed and participate in the girls' playful banter.

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, then a look of deep sorrow flashed across their faces.

Ulan Aodeng sighed, "The team that went out to repair the shielding tower the day before yesterday returned this morning. There were eight people in total, but only five came back."

"Kan Ze, Bai Yi, and Luo Ya sacrificed their lives, but fortunately their bodies were recovered, and we were still able to hold a rite of passage."

“After such an incident, it is natural to suspend work to mourn and prepare for the reburial ceremony.”

Mai Duo was stunned when she heard this. She was not familiar with Kan Ze and Bai Yi, but Luo Ya was one of her teachers at the All-Science Academy. The certificate for the Advanced Technology Award that day was personally given to her by Luo Ya.

She was a gentle and kind woman with a smile on her face. She would tell stories to her students and guide their learning. I never expected that she would die after only two days.

"No wonder I didn't see Teacher Luo Ya at school the day before yesterday, she was out on fieldwork. Sigh, I was hoping to win another award and have her give me the certificate, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this," "Mai Duo" sighed.

Seeing that his sister seemed a little sad, Ulan Haisang quickly comforted her, "It's okay. As long as the Guizang ceremony can be held, there will still be a chance for resurrection in the future. Don't be too sad."

"Who knows, one day you might suddenly see Teacher Luo Ya come back and give you a lesson."

She hasn't left you; she's just staying by your side in another form!

"Maiduo" was speechless. It was just a casual remark, why are you making such a big reaction?

sad?

Don't even mention the death of Luo Ya, whom I'm not particularly close to. Even if both of you died, it wouldn't make me sad. If you don't believe me, go die and see!

Ulan Aodeng patted his son on the shoulder, signaling him to shut up, and then said seriously, "Tonight we will hold a ceremony for Kan Ze, Bai Yi, and Luo Ya to return to their ancestral home. Everyone must be present."

"Maiduo, change into something more formal tonight. Leave all your weird and unusual things at home."

Strange and unusual items refer to homemade toys such as electromagnetic rifles, button bombs, magnetic throwing knives, electric pulse lighters, and miniature laser cutters.

These things were just small toys that Maido made on the spur of the moment to verify her knowledge, but for the vast majority of the other people in Dragon Bone Village, they were naturally all murder weapons.

The ritual of returning to the burial site is equivalent to a funeral ceremony, and bringing these weapons is indeed not solemn enough and is likely to cause dissatisfaction among others.

After all, these rituals are said to be held for the dead, but in reality, they are for the living.

That night, all the villagers gathered in a large cave in Longgu Village.

The cave is very large, with one half being land and the other half a pool of water.

Beneath the pool lies a massive machine dedicated to stimulating, capturing, and storing the life essence of the victims.

This is actually part of the "Life Iteration System" created by Bai Yuekui, including the Guizang ritual, which is also part of the Life Iteration Plan.

The life essence is a trinity of information, matter, and energy, capable of recording an individual's complete life data. It is the integration of everything in a life except matter.

In theory, as long as the life essence is collected and stored properly, and a body is reconstructed using suitable materials, the life essence can be reinjected back into the body to revive a person.

In reality, Dragonbone Village had already tried this method, but what they obtained was only a semi-flesh-and-earth body with certain instincts, which was far from the ideal resurrection.

While the theory is feasible, there are still too many technical hurdles to overcome before a person can be truly resurrected, and the timeline for such a feat remains long.

The village of Longgu has only a few hundred people, no more than a thousand. At this moment, they all stand quietly in the cave, silently watching the families and friends of the three victims bid them farewell.

Each person held a lit candle, twinkling like stars in the darkness, illuminating the way for the departed souls.

Xia Tianlai, the head of medical affairs, and Qiu Shi, the head of education, recited a eulogy before announcing the official start of the Origin Return Ceremony.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lan, who was in charge of beauty and hairdressing in the village, had already done the makeup and grooming for the deceased, and scanned, analyzed, and archived the source information of the three people.

Next, we will play the field messages, which are video suicide notes.

In the video, everyone was very entertaining, turning what should have been a somber farewell ceremony into a burst of laughter.

But to be honest, if "Maido" had the choice, she definitely wouldn't want her suicide note to be seen by everyone in public like this; how embarrassing would that be?

Unfortunately, she doesn't even have the right to leave a will now, let alone refuse to do so.

Bai Yuekui stood calmly in the crowd, wearing the same wool coat that she seemed to never change for formal occasions.

She showed neither grief for the deceased nor amusement at the playful antics in the suicide notes; she simply watched everything silently, her eyes filled with a sense of profound loss.

She has experienced too many such scenes over the decades and has long since become numb to them.

She would still feel sorry for the lives lost and helpless about such sacrifices, but she would not show it, nor would she regret sending them out.

In this apocalyptic world where humanity faces extinction, everyone has their own mission, and everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves, including herself.

Everything is for the purpose of overcoming ecological challenges.

Maiduo would occasionally glance at Bai Yuekui out of the corner of her eye, and she couldn't see a trace of weakness in her.

She couldn't help but sigh, "What a determined woman! Her unwavering will is truly admirable."

But it is precisely because of this determination that she must be more vigilant towards Bai Yuekui and hide herself even more perfectly.

To put it nicely, this kind of person is determined; to put it bluntly, they are simply obsessed. Anything that hinders their ability to overcome the ecological barrier will be regarded as an enemy and eliminated without hesitation.

Maido felt that she and Bai Yuekui were definitely not on the same side, and once her strength and special abilities were exposed, the consequences would be unpredictable.

She had already cultivated the Returning to Origin state to an extremely high level, and she silently used it. The flow of primordial spirit covered her entire body, completely concealing her life essence aura, which was significantly different from that of ordinary people.

The Returning to Origin state can shield the Devouring Beast from its perception of the life essence, and it can also shield humans from any unusual sensations they may have about her.

Her 8400 years of cultivation and powerful spirit, along with the immense life essence they possess, would be as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky if not shielded by her Return to Origin state.

She was very fortunate that when she arrived, Maido had already mastered the Return to Origin state, and she immediately integrated Maido's memories to master and use them.

Otherwise, Bai Yuekui would probably have discovered the problem the moment she arrived and captured her for experiments.

There are real cases of possession in this world, and Bai Yuekui even personally carried them out. The excuse of multiple personalities cannot fool the knowledgeable Boss Bai.

Just as I was concentrating on activating the Return to Origin state to hide myself, suddenly, when it was time to play Luo Ya's suicide note, this gentle teacher actually mentioned Mai Duo in the note.

Noticing everyone looking over, "Maido" quickly pretended to be moved and sad, and stepped forward to stand in front of Luo Ya on the screen, like a student being lectured by a teacher.

"Maiduo, you are a gentle child and very talented. You made an electromagnetic rifle that even the teacher couldn't make in just one month. That's amazing!"

“The school gave you an award certificate before, but as your teacher, I haven’t given you a reward yet.”

"How about this, if the teacher doesn't come back this time, I'll give you the falcon at home that you've been eyeing for a long time as a reward."

“Those are animals that are extremely rare to the whole world after the disaster, and I obtained them by chance.”

"The eagle symbolizes freedom, courage, and strength. Your teacher hopes that you can soar freely like the eagle, fight against the sky, overcome all difficulties and obstacles with courage and strength, and proudly declare your justice."

"Class monitor, extend your hand and accept the teacher's blessing!"

Luo Ya's husband walked over, carrying a birdcage containing an adorable creature that seemed to have no connection to being honest, brave, or strong.

Maido took the birdcage with both hands. Luo Ya's husband patted her head, gave her an encouraging look, and turned back to the crowd.

She stared blankly at the bird in the cage, wondering if it was really a falcon.

Ms. Luo Ya, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?

Whether it's a bird or a person.

"It's decided. From now on, your name will be Ulanchagai, and you'll be a member of the Ulan family!" She held the birdcage high and said loudly.

The childish yet resolute voice echoed throughout the cave, moving everyone present.

Xia Dou rushed out, no longer caring about being tortured and cried during the day, and hugged "Mai Duo" to wipe away her tears.

She was the one who ran out to comfort her friend, but she cried much more bitterly than the one being comforted, which made "Maido" have to comfort her instead.

Everyone smiled knowingly.

This spirit of inheritance, this exchange of beliefs, and this deep affection are the other layer of meaning behind this ceremony of returning to the source of the treasure.

Seeing such a scene makes even sacrifice seem more meaningful.

Unfortunately, this was just a performance by extraterrestrial demons.

That righteous class monitor is so evil!
