Skadi, returning to infinity

Nian sighed.

Are you very interested in movies?

Skadi didn't pay attention to his laughter, and just asked a question.

"It's not a matter of whether I'm interested or not, it's a matter of always finding some enjoyment for myself."

"Otherwise, spending one's entire life either forging or sleeping would be too boring, wouldn't it?"

She shrugged. The life she was talking about was no ordinary life.

As a creature that has lived since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, how much longer its lifespan will last is still unknown.

Even if you factor in the time it takes for all life on Terra to perish, her life probably won't end.

With so much time on her hands, she could do whatever she wanted.

Before discovering her love for movies, she had probably witnessed countless joys and sorrows in the human world.

Perhaps that's what made her like movies?

Skadi wasn't sure, but she felt it was a question that Nian wouldn't answer for the time being.

"That's true. If you live too long, you do need to do something to keep yourself from getting bored."

She said this as if she had some experience with it.

"What? You've experienced something like this too?"

Looking at her in surprise, Nian was unaware of Skadi's past experiences.

But the emotion in her words didn't seem feigned.

Skadi wouldn't have said something like that if she hadn't had a similar experience.

"Deep-sea hunters have long lifespans and such experience."

This explanation seems to be the best choice in this situation.

"Deep-sea hunters?" Upon hearing this term, Nian's lips curled up slightly, as if he knew this group quite well.

"Year, do you know Deepsea Hunter?"

Skadi realized something from her reaction and asked her what was wrong.

"You yourself are a deep-sea hunter, so you don't need to ask me about this."

"But if you really want to know whether I know anything about Deepsea Hunters, I can tell you the answer."

"All I know about the Deepsea Hunters is that they are a group of Godslayers."

"But after all these years, is what they've been fighting against really the entity they suspect? Perhaps the truth is something you have to discover for yourself."

I just found out.

The year wasn't explained very clearly, but the general meaning has been conveyed.

This serves as a reminder to Skadi, prompting her to carefully consider what exactly the enemies the Deepsea Hunters face.

Perhaps for some reason, it's not appropriate to explain directly.

Skadi was somewhat grateful for her reminder.

Even though she already knew the truth, this reminder from that year was of no use to her.

Whether it's useful or not, and whether you say it or not, are two different things.

"By the way, Nian, do you have a favorite movie?"

No longer dwelling on the Deepsea Hunter topic, Skadi returned to the topic of the movie.

After all, Deepsea Hunter is about her, and the movie is the link that deepens her relationship with Nian.

She tried to change the subject, but Nian didn't do as she wished. Instead, he stared intently at her and continued to remind her.

"Although I don't mind deepening my relationships with future collaborators, there are some things that I might not tell you even if you want to know them."

"So, you don't need to think that having good relationships can solve everything; that's unrealistic."

Years may not know Skadi's thoughts, but that doesn't mean she can't take precautions in advance.

"I didn't mean it that way, don't worry, I just wanted to get along with you."

Whether it can be resolved or not, that's a matter for later; Skadi isn't dwelling on it.

For now, she should focus on building a good relationship with Nian. That way, even if she doesn't ask about it later, Nian will still care about her and be there for her.

Said.

What is this called? It's called "Even if I don't ask, as long as you care about me enough, you will still change your insistence for me".

It must be said that Skadi's method is indeed the best way to deal with riddles.

As a "god", there are many things that cannot be said.

The only way to get her to talk is to make her relationship with you extremely close.

Only then would she say things that she wouldn't normally say, in order to protect her.

This might be bad for the year, but as long as I can resolve the troubles it brings, then there seems to be nothing to worry about.

"If that's how you see it, then it's a good thing."

Nian breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that Skadi didn't have any dangerous thoughts; she was just worried that Skadi would ask her some questions she shouldn't.

"So, Nian, what's your favorite movie?"

Skadi steered the conversation back on track, and this time she didn't change the direction of the topic.

She thought for a moment and then suggested the name of a movie.

"If I had to pick my favorite, it would be 'Heroes of Terra: The Tale of the Eastern Heroes'."

"Haha, this is a work by a famous director from the East. It tells the story of a wanderer who roams the land of Terra."

"Although everyone says it's an absolutely terrible movie, both in terms of plot and other aspects, it's awful."

"Moreover, the male protagonist is a useless person. He is more like a rogue than a hero."

"But I really admire people who can travel freely on the mainland and do what they want."

"I would say I like that kind of life rather than the movie itself."

"Of course, the biggest reason I like this movie is its director."

Skadi, hearing her say that, became curious about what kind of director he was.

"Is that director incredibly talented?"

If a director can inspire a person to like a film, it's hard to say that the director isn't some kind of genius or legend.

"No, no, no, the director of this movie is an incredibly rotten person."

"What's his name again... Oh, it's Masao Kawasaki, and he's fifty-eight years old."

"I was a habitual thief in my youth, stealing from age sixteen to thirty-seven. During that time, I was imprisoned thirteen times for theft, spending a total of nineteen years in prison."

between."

"In middle age, I happened to meet a widow who got married. The widow was also a scoundrel, but she was very capable."

"She had relationships with all the men around her house."

"But Kawasaki Masao didn't care. Even if a widow cheated on him in front of him, he would just laugh it off and then drink alone."

"I got into film after I turned 43, and made my first film at 47, which made me an instant star."

"Of course, he made SQ movies, and the female leads were basically his widowed wives."

"His wife is cheating on him, and the director is cheating on him too."

"He not only steals women, but also men."

"He basically uses all his income to compensate for breaking up other people's families."

"Not only that, but because his wife accidentally hooked up with a rich man, they were confronted by his wife and her entourage."

"To solve this problem, Masao Kawasaki spent a lot of money."

"In the end, he was heavily in debt and it took him four movies to pay it off."

"And this film, 'Terra Nobunaga's Ambition: The Tale of the Heroes of the East,' was the first movie he made after paying off his debts."

"It is said that during the filming of this movie, Masao Kawasaki's wife fell ill and died."

"In the ending, the protagonist, who spent his life wandering the continent of Terra and committed all sorts of evil deeds, lost his only love, his wife, to illness. This is supposedly based on..."

This has been changed.

Skadi listened quietly as she told the story, her delicate brows furrowing deeper with each word.

She thought the director was a great guy, but as she listened, she realized he was an indescribable scumbag.

"I think it would be more meaningful for us to go see some other movies this year, okay?"

"These kinds of movies are just a way to rip people off... I don't find them interesting at all."

"And why would you like a movie starring this guy? It's so weird..."

Skadi just wanted to rush over and tear this guy to shreds, then throw all his movies into the incinerator.

She simply couldn't understand how such dross could have been passed down, or how anyone could like it.

And the person he likes happens to be Nian, which is really strange.

"You've misunderstood. I don't like people like him."

"I just learned about this person, and that's why I looked into her movies, and then I happened to see a movie that I liked."

Skadi still couldn't quite understand her explanation.

"I really can't understand why you like this movie so much, and why you know so much about its director and his life."

I know everything about life. If you told me it was because you liked the life depicted in this movie, I wouldn't believe you.

She wanted an answer, perhaps the only way to break through Nian's defenses.

Looking into her eyes, I could see a genuine thirst for knowledge, without any other ulterior motives.
