Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"who!"

"Bastard!"

Celia and Chu Xi tied the opening of the sack, and then…

"Ah, are you rebelling? Ouch, stop! Ouch~"

Azar's scream came from inside the sack. Cyria slammed a stick into his knee, and another scream followed.

Chapter 168 Entering the Cycle

Zubair Theatre.

The Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival had to be suspended due to the Great Sage's warning. After all, Nel, Dina Zede, and the staff of the Zuber Theater were just ordinary Sumeru people and couldn't openly go against the authorities.

After saying goodbye to Dina Zede, Ying and Paimon prepared to return home, both of them preoccupied with their own thoughts on the way back.

"Dina Zede had been looking forward to the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival for so long, but it ended like this. She must be very disappointed that she couldn't see Nel's Flower Goddess Dance..."

Paimon grew angrier the more he thought about it: "That despicable Great Sage is really going too far! He even tried to stop the birthday celebration for the Little Lucky Grass King!"

While feeling regretful, Ying became even more certain of her suspicions about the Little Lucky Grass King's situation.

Ying and Paimon had only walked a short distance when they saw two people running towards them.

Ying recognized both of the two people who ran over, but...

Why are they both wearing such strange eye masks, and why are they holding weapons?

"What's wrong with you?"

"Shh, run!"

Neither Celia nor Chu Xi stopped, seemingly trying to avoid someone.

Although they knew nothing about the situation, Ying and Paimon listened to Cyria and ran after her.

The group ran behind a house to hide, and Ying saw with her own eyes a group of soldiers from the "Thirty-Man Regiment" run past the small house where they were hiding.

Once the noise subsided, Ying turned to look at the two of them: "What's going on here...?"

Cyril put away the big stick in her hand, and she also took back the one Chu Xi had.

"You recognized us at a glance? It seems that this method isn't very effective."

Celia took off her blindfold.

Ying and Paimon were speechless. How stupid could they be to not see that this was not a disguise at all, but a disguise by Xilia and Chu Xi?

Cyril peeked out and, seeing that the pursuers had left, pulled everyone out with her.

Before, they were afraid of being caught red-handed, but now, even if they walk openly on the street, the group of thirty people won't recognize them. Although it wouldn't really matter if they were discovered, it would be best if they could avoid being discovered altogether.

Paimon looked at Cyria suspiciously: "Hey, what exactly did you guys do? How did you end up attracting so many people to arrest you?"

Thinking about what she had just done, Celia couldn't help but laugh.

She's a staunch supporter of the Little Lucky Grass King faction and has long wanted to beat up the Great Sage. She hadn't had the chance before, but now she finally got her wish.

"We just beat up the Great Sage!"

Paimon and Ying: "???!!!"

……

In Chen Xiyao's live stream.

Chen Xiyao and the audience, who were originally in a bad mood, instantly perked up. They beat up the Great Sage, that's great!

They had always wanted to rush in and beat up the Great Sage, but unfortunately, they couldn't.

Celia and Chu Xi did exactly what they wanted to do but couldn't.

Chen Xiyao clapped her hands and said, "Well done, Celia, I love you!"

Studio.

【Well done! 】

[As expected, it has to be me, Celia! Ruthless and taciturn, she just goes for it!]

[Haha, do they really think an eye patch counts as a disguise?]

[I don't know why, but seeing Chu Xi wearing an eye patch makes my heart flutter!]

[Chu Xi must have been taken there; there's no doubt that this idea came from Celia.]

[Now I have no choice but to draw.]

[I suddenly really want to see them beat up the Great Sage. Looking at the big stick in Cyria's hand, tsk tsk, the Great Sage must have gotten a really bad beating...]

……

Sumeru.

The soldiers of the "Thirty-Man Group" untied the sacks that had been covering Hazard and Setare.

Although both were trapped, Setare was only slightly frightened, and neither Chu Xi nor Cyria hit her.

Hazard was in a different state. His face was covered in bruises, his hat had fallen off, he had a large bump on his head that was still bleeding, and he was unconscious.

"Great Sage, Great Sage, quickly, send the Great Sage to be treated!"

Setare gave the order, at which point she was extremely angry.

"Did you see who did it?!"

"..."

"Damn it, we have to bring them back!"

……

the other side.

Seeing the shocked expressions on Ying and Paimon's faces, Celia helplessly shrugged.

"Don't look at me like that. I've wanted to beat him up for a long time. He was so arrogant just now. Who knows what bad things he's up to? I couldn't hold back. I won't feel right if I don't beat him up."

Paimon gave Cilia a thumbs up.

Awesome!

It was indeed Cilia, whom Paimon knew; she also disliked that great sage.

Ying smiled and nodded at Celia, but then again, what if they had beaten up the Great Sage in Sumeru City…

Celia seemed to have read Ying's mind. She put her right hand on Ying's shoulder and said, "It's okay. That guy doesn't know it was us, and the people chasing us didn't see what we looked like either."

Paimon said excitedly, "I really want to see what you guys do to that great sage, hehe, let her bully Nel and Dinaze!"

Chu Xi: "I remember that I think I fainted in the end."

Cyria: "Yeah, Chu Xi hit him on the head with a stick and he passed out. Tsk tsk, his health is really bad."

Chu Xi blinked her innocent-looking big eyes at Cyria: "It's clearly..."

Celia put her arm around Chu Xi's waist and pushed her along, saying, "Come on, we're happy today, I'll treat you to barbecue when we get back!"

Paimon tapped his finger: "Hehe."

"Haha. Of course, you guys are included too, how could we forget Paimon!"

The group went to Cyria's house. They couldn't possibly have a barbecue in the room that Dina Zede had arranged for them, but it wasn't too far away anyway.

Celia rummaged through the family's remaining food supplies; if they didn't eat them now, they might not have another chance.

She often enjoys eating grilled meat when she's alone, so she always has the ingredients ready at home. She heats small round stones until they're red-hot, then puts the marinated meat slices on them. This way, the grilled meat tastes the best.

Ying and Paimon also had a lot of ingredients in their backpacks, and they took out a lot of them.

After preparing all the vegetarian and meat dishes, the four of them sat down together to eat barbecue.

Afterwards, Ying and Paimon returned to their lodgings.

Paimon: "So many things happened today, it's a pity it ended badly, but the barbecue we had at Cyria's house was really good."

Ying: "...Uh, it's really good."

Paimon: "Although Nel and Dinazede made a promise to make next year's Flower Goddess Festival a success, and the Great Sage was severely punished by Celia and Chu Xi... but Dinazede's time..."

Ying: "Dina Zede herself should know that this might be an irreparable regret..."

"Yeah, sigh~"

After tidying up briefly, Ying and Paimon went to bed to rest.

Before her consciousness faded into sleep, Ying heard a very clear sound, followed by what sounded like someone speaking:

【Di-】

All connections have been ensured, and a highly stable architecture has been built.

The plan has entered its most critical phase, and power extraction will begin from [——].

Chapter 169 Infinite Reincarnation

In her sleep, at Cyria's home, when that "beep" sounded in Ying's ear.

Cyria, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

"The void... has begun to function..."

……

Paimon, who had just gotten up, yawned: "It's all your fault for sleeping in. We're going to be late. Hurry up and meet up with Dina Zede."

Ying and Paimon arrived at the place they had agreed to meet Dina Zede.

"Good morning, Dina Zede. Sorry we're late, hehe."

"No, I just arrived too early."

You seem a little tired. Didn't you sleep well?

"I'm fine, don't worry. Let's go, let's browse the stalls over there first."

"Okay... Hey? Ying, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"

Ying's expression was very strange; it seemed as if she had experienced everything that was happening before her eyes.

……

The world of players.

[Hmm? Is the streamer experiencing network issues?]

[No, this isn't the previous storyline. Dina Zede's condition is clearly much worse.]

【? ? ? 】

What's going on here?

[Reincarnation? Or...]

[Is this what they meant by that organizational restructuring I heard about before...?]

The recurring plot twists left many players bewildered. Some recalled the words the Traveler heard while asleep, but with so little information, everyone remained confused.

……

Ying, Paimon, and Dina Zede strolled around slowly, and at the same time, that feeling of familiarity became more and more obvious.

Soon the three arrived at the stall owner dressed as the Flower Knight Faris. Five flavors of candy were placed in five fruit boxes, and Paimon wanted the Sunset Fruit flavor candy.

Stall owner: "Okay, these five candy boxes are numbered one to five from left to right. Which one would you like to choose?"

Ying: "I've decided on number four."

"Wow! That's amazing, number four, right? You really got the sunset fruit flavor."

Paimon: "Haha, I knew you were incredibly lucky, and I was right!"

Ying: "Just now... it seems like it wasn't luck."
