How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

"Hmm, I guess those people will think that Morax is protecting them along with him, just to humiliate the dead Salt Demon."

Miss Fox boldly speculated.

Celine: "Mom, it sounds like you know a lot about this kind of thing."

Miss Fox shrugged: "Who hasn't lied when they were little?"

When Miss Fox was little, she would secretly save her breakfast money to go online on weekends, and she would even come up with a plan on how not to be discovered when her mother came home.

This includes, but is not limited to, mentally simulating the various questions a mother might ask after telling the first lie, and using items to fabricate the fact that she has always been home.

It was a battle of wits and courage.

Whenever she thinks about it, Miss Fox sighs that if she had put that effort into her studies, she probably would have gotten better grades and been admitted to a better school.

"Oh, no, there were times when I was a kid when I really focused on my studies, and my grades improved to the point where I could compete in county-level competitions..."

Sirin: "And then?"

Miss Fox: "......"

Then...then he got arrogant and stopped taking studying seriously, thinking that it would be enough to just study a little more before the exam.

The outcome is self-evident, but the scene of the mixed doubles match was extremely brutal.

"Let's continue discussing how to revive the Salt Demon!"

Chapter 1002 Miss Fox frowned, discovering a juicy secret.

So, things returned to the salt pile that had been messed with for so long, yet remained unchanged.

The true form of the Salt Demon is salt, which makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

"What if I used my Stand ability to turn this pile of salt into a doll?"

Xilin was also taken aback when she heard this.

"So, Mom, how do we determine whether this pile of salt is a living thing or a dead thing?"

Sirin also knew a little about Miss Fox's Stand ability.

Hence this question.

Regarding this question...

"It's probably an inanimate object?"

The snowman's pixelated head jumped out of its body and punched the salt pile with a soft, limp fist.

Unsurprisingly, the salt pile was transformed into a bag of salt dolls.

Yeah, it's a plush toy about the size of a cushion.

"The portion size is quite generous. I didn't expect it to be identified as a living creature."

The character can be completely customized to fit their face, and this feature is definitely valid for determining whether the character is alive.

The Pixel Snowman's ability allows it to freely shape the faces of living targets, while inanimate objects can only be shaped into various living forms.

Miss Fox herself wasn't entirely sure of the specific reasons.

The abilities of Stands that awaken using arrows are mostly determined by the mental state and desires of the original user at the time of awakening.

Strength is determined by mental strength.

The Pixel Snowman's abilities, well, that certainly fits the situation.

At the time, my mindset was that I didn't need a Stand with offensive capabilities; I just needed a fun ability.

The pixelated snowman fits the bill.

"Aside from the rather confusing distinction between inanimate and living things..."

stare--

Xilin looked over.

"Are you sure it's not related to your hobby of enjoying seeing other people's reactions when they're scared, Mom?"

No matter how you look at it, it's probably because of this.

No matter how much you prank an inanimate object, it will not have any emotions or reactions; only living things do. That is why this judgment is made.

"Any way is fine, I'll see what happens if I wear the demon god's corpse!"

"Wait! Don't take it off, take me with you..."

Ignoring Mebius, Miss Fox simply took her off, turned her back into a doll, and tossed her to Sirin.

The pixelated snowman then transformed the cushion into the shape of an ancient-style woman and handed it over.

"Alas?"

When Miss Fox touched the corpse of the Salt Demon in her original form, she discovered something different.

That's because the Salt Demon Doll reacts to her!

Previously, when wearing the Mebius skin, no matter how you treated the salt pile, the only effects were shaking and glowing; essentially, nothing changed.

At this moment, she switched back to her classic original skin, and when she touched the corpse again, she actually had an emotional change!

A sense of sorrow leads to a shift in thinking.

Although very faint, it is indeed present.

"This is very interesting. I didn't expect that it was Snake who dragged us down."

Möbius: "..."

What does this have to do with her? Shouldn't you be the one in a special situation?

"But why is that?"

Miss Fox stroked her chin, not in a hurry to put it on, but instead began to examine the female doll that she had casually sculpted from a pile of salt.

This is the image of the Salt Demon God that Miss Fox imagined herself.

After that brief moment, the Salt Demon showed no further emotion, and the corpse in her hands continued to emanate sorrow and confusion.

"The difference between me and the snake is huge. What factor could be responsible for this?"

First and foremost, there is the difference in race.

One is a Honkai Beast fusion human, and the other is an elf.

Then there's one who plays with Honkai energy, and another who plays with some kind of energy system I don't know.

Could it be the divine role of the Earth Goddess?

Miss Fox immediately drew upon the earth's energy to envelop the Salt Demon Doll, but there was no further change in its emotions.

His brows furrowed.

Illusions are impossible.

It wasn't discovered by accident; she's been scanning intensively the whole time, so it's ruled out immediately.

"Could it be that you are from outside this world?"

Mebius guessed.

It's reasonable, but not exactly correct.

There is no reason why the Salt Demon would be sensitive to people outside the world.

"Well, besides my problem, it could also be her own problem, right? We can be bold and start by making bold assumptions based on the guesses of the Heisei Holmes!"

The recurring nightmares brought the plot to a turning point, causing a shift in the Salt Demon's emotions.

This hypothesis is the first idea based on Shinichi Kudo's statement.

Based on this assumption, the best approach would probably be to manipulate the dream itself.

"Then the question is, how do you manipulate dreams?"

It is known that the will of the demon god is no longer in the corpse.

Just like the Morax we've seen before.

He casually discarded the handsome dragon body, giving it to the Seven Stars as a keepsake, while his true form was sculpted into the appearance of a noble young master, living happily in the human world.

Although the Salt Demon God didn't create any other aliases, it was roughly the same situation.

In short, the soul is not here.

Möbius: "If we can't find the Demon God's will, is it possible that he was thrown out of the world?"

Sirin: "That doesn't make sense. If someone is thrown out of the world, their connection with the corpse should be severed. It's impossible for them to still be able to express emotions through the corpse!"

Miss Fox: "No, perhaps the snake is right..."

Being thrown out of the world doesn't necessarily mean being completely detached from it.

The reason is the secret realm.

When Miss Fox scanned Liyue with her spiritual sense, she discovered that Liyue had an absurd number of secret realms.

Wherever there is a mountain inhabited by a strange animal, there exists a secret realm.

It appears to be the home of those animals.

And there are many more secret realms, many more than others.

Most of them contained a piece of a demon god's corpse or some strange props. Miss Fox even found an upside-down statue of a god from next door in Liyue.

There are some strange guys inside, I don't know what they're doing.

"Perhaps, the lost consciousness of the demon gods was thrown into this secret realm, and in some way, they were kept asleep and unable to awaken."

The nightmare one doesn't want to wake up from probably refers to the fact that dreams are beautiful to the dead demons.

But in reality, this dream was just a cover-up to prevent them from noticing anything.

Something exists that is exploiting them.
