Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Then he noticed a barrel not far away shaking incessantly. To be honest, seeing such a barrel shaking in the dim light was a little eerie. The soldier swallowed hard, then drew his weapon and slowly approached the barrel.

He had to find out the truth, because it was his job.

As he raised his sword, ready to strike, the barrel suddenly glowed with black magical light, and a black magic circle rapidly unfolded and passed through the barrel.

With a bang, the barrel exploded, and countless dark figures flew out. Black feathers, accompanied by the flapping of wings, rained down throughout the warehouse. These uninvited guests bared their fangs and claws, attacking the soldier.

"Aaaaaah! No! Help! Help me, aaaaaaah!!!"

These uninvited guests naturally wouldn't listen to him; they attacked the soldiers frantically until they fell. A large number of dark figures surged out of the warehouse, flying from the lower level to the top, their true forms revealed under the illumination of the cabin lights.

They were a flock of crows, too numerous to count.

………………

Mo Yueya activated the magic in the middle of the night because most of the soldiers in this world were already resting, and it was possible to break through to the upper levels in one fell swoop by taking this opportunity.

He created a large number of Ink Raven Familiars to confuse the kingdom's soldiers' vision and judgment. Most of the Ink Ravens only had a little ink to construct their bodies, making them very fragile, but their numbers were enough to fill an entire ship.

These Black Ravens began to split up as they entered the middle level. Now, the entire ship is filled with Black Moon Ravens, but he has committed nearly half of his forces to the upper level, because that is where the real action begins.

Mo Yueya was not in his own room either. He was now in a secluded spot on the deck. His exploration of the structure over the past few days had not been in vain; he had already figured out several places where he could hide.

In this way, he can carry out this operation without any worries.

After confirming that the lower and middle levels of the Ink Ravens had been attacked, the Ink Moon Raven focused its attention on the group of Ink Ravens heading to the upper level. These Ink Ravens had enough magical power and ink to deal with the ensuing chaos.

Among them is a specially enhanced Black Crow, whose consciousness will be synchronized with that of the Black Moon Crow.

After the synchronization between the Moon Raven and the other type of Raven ended, he accelerated the number of Ravens heading to the upper levels. Gradually, the high-ranking officers living on the upper levels were awakened, and they came out of their rooms to hunt down the Ravens.

This restrained a portion of them, but they had not yet reached their destination. Once they truly entered the area belonging to the Divine Punishers, Mo Yueya tensed up and began to have the Mo Crows cover the entire layer.

"What's going on here!?"

Queen Ailan was the first to rush out of the room, still wearing her nightgown. She had obviously been awakened by Mo Ya's commotion, and her expression showed that she was very unhappy.

"Don't disturb the king's rest!"

Ailan raised her cane and issued commands to the warship. Suddenly, in this previously comfortable environment, all sorts of unprecedented weapons appeared and began to sweep through the Black Raven.

The sweep was happening much faster than Mo Yueya had imagined; he had underestimated the power of the Divine Punisher. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to allow some of the Mo Crows to split, relying on sheer numbers to buy time for his search.

He had now ruled out one room—the one Ailan had just come out of—as Mo Yueya had already searched for, but hadn't found Li there. Mo Yueya quickened his pace and continued searching the other room.

"It's so noisy, what are all these things?"

Peter Pan's anxious voice came from inside the door, and seven golden beams of light burst through the door and flew out, continuously annihilating the black crows. Another one was eliminated, while the black crows also broke through another door and rushed inside.

Behind that door was an empty room—no, not empty at all; there stood a thin, dark-skinned creature radiating endless killing intent.

“————!!!”

"Wait—don't wake him up—!"

By the time Ailan spoke, it was too late. The monster had already destroyed the door and rushed out. 'Dragon Fang' Groot, with the ferocity of a wild beast, grabbed Mo Ya, biting, tearing, and pouncing. Mo Yue Ya had definitely drawn the worst possible outcome. The monster's commotion alerted all the Divine Punishers.

"What is this... It's so noisy..." "Where did these crows come from?" "Let's take them down anyway, Chaoyin, let's do it together." "Sariye, use your music to shake them all down." "Shut up, my music isn't for these lifeless creatures." "More importantly! Isn't anyone going to stop Groot!?" "I can't help it... Lorna, it's your turn."

This floor suddenly became lively, with the Punishers clearing out the crows in their own ways. Mo Yueya could clearly feel that the rate at which the familiars were decreasing was accelerating, and there was probably no time left.

Nine rooms have already been ruled out... Mo Yueya has already checked the rooms where the Divine Punishers lived, including the rooms of the Yin-Yang siblings. So, there are still twenty-three rooms left to check.

With a 1/23 probability and familiars being constantly eliminated, Mo Yueya had no time to think or play any tricks. He wanted to choose a room here and break through.

At the last moment, he randomly chose a room, turned the black raven that was synchronized with him back into liquid magic, and squeezed in through the crack in the door amidst the chaos.

But once she fully entered the room, he felt a strong sense of rejection, as if these feelings had formed a wall pressed against the door, squeezing Mo Yueya's liquid magic against it.

The sensation of being shattered to pieces was transmitted to Mo Yueya through that magical power, but he had to first confirm what was inside. So, he endured the excruciating pain and began to examine the room.

Chapter 47 Searching for Her Amidst the Frenzy

For the past few days, Li has remained in this room, doing nothing but conversation, because there's nothing else to do. She resists everything outside, because a "nightmare" could appear behind that door at any moment.

Today was no different. She curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in the blanket, staring intently at the door, unwilling to look away. Even knowing she had reached her limit, she had no intention of resting. She had neither the energy nor the inclination to make a scene.

The erotic markings on her abdomen were burning hot, and her body was utterly powerless due to their effect. The collar around her neck was constantly absorbing her newly restored magical energy, and she hadn't eaten anything for days. Although she knew food had been delivered to her door, who knew if it was a trap?

In this environment, Li's heart gradually closed off. Influenced by her emotions, the space of the room also closed off, creating a strong repulsive force. Repelling everything, even light could not penetrate, and so the room gradually became dark.

Chaoyang and Chaoyin tried to come in at times, but that was after Li had completely closed his heart. Unable to even open the door, they simply destroyed it, only to discover that there was another door behind it, and no matter how they destroyed it, that door would always appear there.

Unable to get in, they were also anxious because they had finally brought back this rare "toy," and it would be a huge loss if they hadn't had enough time to play with it. What's more, they planned to completely destroy this "toy."

In fact, they are almost there, because reason is already broken.

Before long, the space inside this room will probably be separated from this world.

Ideally, she wanted to escape, to leave this terrifying place. Imprisoned, she could do nothing. Perhaps she would die suddenly from exhaustion. That ending seemed like a good one. But who knew if those two demons would come and desecrate her body after she died?

She wanted to go back, to return to Earth, to see her parents. These emotions began to take hold of her, and the connection between this space and this world began to loosen slightly—a result she unconsciously caused.

Her feelings prompted her to respond to her thoughts, wanting to go back. But could she really do it? She knew nothing about the world beyond this one, or any other space; after all, she was just an ordinary little girl.

Having gained this immense power, she thought she could do something for the world like the protagonists in those fantasy works, but instead, this is the ending she got. She is truly devastated and wants to just abandon everything and escape from this world.

No matter what method she uses, she wants to escape.

The connection between space and time has loosened again. She is unaware that her actions will bring her destruction, because she has not yet fully grasped spacetime. When this space is separated from this world, she will be swept into the spacetime turbulence. Perhaps she will arrive in another world, or perhaps she will be lost in the spacetime turbulence.

boom.

The sound of something hitting the tempered glass reached Li's ears. She had already lost her mind; instinctively, she reached out and immediately reinforced the protection in the direction of the sound. Terrified, she shrank back under the covers.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come near me! I don't want to! No! Get out! Get out of here! Nobody!"

She screamed incoherently, no longer knowing what she was doing, acting purely on instinct. Space was shattering, and the turbulent winds of time-space flux blew in through the cracks, making a mess of the room.

This is a sign that this space is gradually separating from this world, because Li's resistance is becoming stronger; she is rejecting this world. Light, sound, and air are all blocked outside the space, which is a manifestation of Li's isolation; she is unwilling to see or hear anything.

She didn't even know that she was using spatial manipulation to crush the seemingly treacherous Mo Yueya.

The situation was worse than Mo Yueya had imagined. He had seen Li and heard her voice, but it sounded like a broken scream after being frightened by something.

While he was dawdling, I wondered what had happened to make that cheerful and lively girl like this. She must have been done something terrible.

But no matter what, Mo Yueya had to find a way to calm her down first. Putting aside whether he could save her or not, he might as well save himself, who was almost dying from the pain.

That's what they say, but Mo Yueya had absolutely no idea how to proceed.

Li was clearly in no condition to hear anything, and Mo Yueya had no way to get close. In addition, the room had suddenly become chaotic for some unknown reason, and just looking at it made one feel that something was very wrong.

There's no way to retreat now, because all the Black Crows outside have been wiped out. If this one retreats, it will definitely be killed, and it can't bear the excruciating pain of being killed. It's far more terrifying than being pulverized here.

First, he needed to get inside before he could do anything else. He altered the shape of the liquid magic, trying to approach the suddenly opened cracks while being squeezed. He didn't know where these cracks led, but he knew he could get inside through them.

The powerful suction of these cracks pulled the magic towards them. This sudden situation almost caught Mo Yueya off guard. The liquid magic changed shape again and stuck to the transparent barrier. He approached the crack step by step and then quickly burrowed into the barrier.

After entering the barrier, the space became much more open, but at the same time, the light was lost. The entire room seemed to be being ravaged by a storm, with cracks everywhere.

Li was on that bed deep inside, but Mo Yueya couldn't see anything now; he could only see a faint glimmer of light coming through the cracks. He groped his way to his location based on his memory, carefully avoiding the cracks.

Where...where...

Mo Yueya searched for that figure.

Dragon King, I don't know what happened to you, but answer me now! Calm down! Don't stop here! Didn't you want to change the world...?

Mo Yueya spoke his innermost thoughts to himself, slowly approaching until he touched the corner of the bed, proving that he was very close and that she must be there.

Perhaps it was psychological, but the rage in the room seemed to subside a little. Mo Yueya rushed onto the bed and found the girl who was crying.

Chapter 48 Contact, Temporary Cooperation

Something crawled onto the bed, and fear made her give up even on defense this time, because in this state, there was no point in resisting; her resistance would be a joke in front of those people.

She could only try to shrink under the covers to avoid these people, but it was no use. Soon, the intruder forcefully ripped off the covers, and she, completely naked and unprepared, once again faced their malice.

But this time... they hesitated to act, and after a while, the blanket was put back on them...

……Eh?

Confusion and bewilderment prompted her to look up. She was still very scared, but she wanted to confirm it.

Now that her emotions have gradually calmed down, the room has returned to calm, leaving only the devastation reminiscent of a typhoon. The door is tightly closed, as if it had never been opened, so why did Li feel that something had entered?

撞。

Something gently bumped the blanket, startling Li so much that she almost fell off the bed. Upon closer inspection, she saw a black mass in the center of the white sheet.

What's this?

Li kept her distance; she was still uneasy about the thing. But her movement was confined to the bed, and she could go almost nowhere, so she didn't stray far from the dark mass.

Then, the dark mass suddenly began to move. It abruptly transformed into a puddle of black liquid, which was absorbed by the bed sheet. Instead of leaving a large stain, it formed words on the sheet—the writing system of this world.

Having learned from Nao and inherited the knowledge and memories of Rielfa, Li was also able to read these texts.

It says.

Calm down, Dragon King.

The text changed again.

It is I, Mo Yueya.

Ink Moon Crow—

Li then recalled the name; she remembered it—the aloof, black-haired youth in an oriental Taoist robe. He had joined the Kingdom's army after they split up.

"..." Li did not answer.

Because she didn't trust the person who sent that message, even if it was Mo Yueya himself. This was the kingdom's territory, and she wouldn't react until she understood the person's purpose.

On the other end, Mo Yueya naturally received Li's reaction as well. There was nothing she could do about it. Having just calmed down from her previous state, she felt distrust and hostility towards everything around her.

Mo Yueya changed her magic once again.

I know what you're thinking. You must distrust me a lot right now. But here, you can only rely on me. And I can only rely on you.

Li remained silent. She sat up on the bed again, observed the surrounding situation, and finally spoke.

"what you up to?"

I'll get you out of here.

Without hesitation, Mo Yueya altered the magic.

Li remained silent, and Mo Yueya understood perfectly well that such a statement from him carried no weight, and was practically impossible. Eleven Divine Punishers surrounded Li, and the Yin-Yang siblings would undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on their "toy"; rescuing her was simply a pipe dream.

However, it's not entirely impossible...

Do you believe me? The words have changed again.

Li stared silently at the five words. She didn't know to what extent these words could interact with the person who called himself "Mo Yueya," or whether they could also present her situation to that "Mo Yueya."

But this might be her last straw. Before that, there are some things she wants to know.

"How is the Duchy's...alliance's forces faring?"

The situation in the duchy was what Li was most concerned about, because her memories of that time were interrupted after the barrier shattered. Having been unconscious, she awoke here, so she was completely unaware of the outside world.

The text is constantly changing.

The coalition forces formed by the Duchy repelled the Kingdom. To be precise, the Kingdom temporarily spared the Duchy; it withdrew that day. Because the Duchy acquired many incredible items—those were your creations, weren't they?

Whether this information is true or false is impossible to determine because she has never been in contact with the outside world, but it can be used as a reference.

And there's a crucial part... "Mo Yueya" speculates that those "black technologies" are her creation.

This is a place that makes Li waver; at least, this information hadn't been leaked while she was in the Duchy. No matter how powerful the kingdom is, surely they couldn't possibly find the culprit behind all this under such unexpected circumstances?

However, there is also a problem here: is "Moyueya" friend or foe? It is hard to believe that person is on the side of the kingdom under such circumstances. Even if it is the person himself, it is hard to guarantee that he will not stand on the side of the kingdom.

Moreover, upon their first meeting, Ryo had a cold impression of this person, as if he were someone who only acted based on efficiency and profit and loss. Ryo couldn't trust such a person... Of course, Olito was an exception.

Whether or not to trust "Mo Yueya" is a question that I can only answer for now, because there is too little information available, and I cannot convince myself to trust him based on this alone.

She desperately wanted to escape, the sooner the better; she didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. Now that she knew the duchy was safe, she needed to pull herself together and escape to reunite with her companions as soon as possible.

"Tell me what you plan to do..." Ideally, you should listen to the other person's plan, and then be honest, "I don't trust you."

The text remained unchanged, probably signifying silence. Li was already mentally prepared for the other party to abandon her; even if that happened, she would find a way to escape on her own.

Then, the text began to change again.

This ship is already covered in that thing called oil; I planted it all. When necessary, I'll ignite it, make it explode, and create chaos. Then I'll come and rescue you. But now, seeing your condition, I've changed my mind. Before that, we need to deal with your problem first.
