My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Weiss noticed that the exploration progress of Moon City in the World Book had inexplicably increased by a large margin.

It jumped directly to 90%.

It seems my previous guess was correct; they haven't really escaped the scope of the Moonlit City incident.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a faint yet clear notification sound.

Brand new golden characters emerged in the void.

The ninth round of fate options has been opened.

A certain death ending has been detected; the reward has been forcibly changed to a protected type.

Weiss's pupils contracted sharply.

A certain death ending!?

You know, even the turning point when the Star Bell descended upon Moonlit City at the eighth hour was at most just a flick of the tide of fate, so why is it directly locking itself in a dead end this time?

A gold-colored reward option appears.

1. A death regression, returning to 10 minutes prior, with a 100% mortality rate.

2. A single lifeline trigger has a 0% mortality rate, but will result in extremely severe side effects, making it impossible to trigger the World Book rewards again.

3. One life-saving prompt, with a 20% mortality rate and a lifespan reduction of approximately 40 years, will not have any impact on the subsequent development of the world book.

4. A single lifeline notification with a 0% mortality rate, but there's a high chance the sequence will be forcibly altered, making it difficult to trigger the World Book rewards later.

5. A single lifeline offers a 100% chance of survival, but there is an extremely small probability of winning the revival match several years later.

The five options were neatly arranged in the void.

Unlike previous rewards, this time the options come with very serious costs and side effects.

He has now turned off the killing mode and doesn't know the exact location of the caged bird. But judging from World Book's anxious expression, it's probably useless even if he turns off the killing mode.

It seems that this time, the caged bird is going to take advantage of it no matter what.

There was no other way; I had to make a decision immediately.

Choose one of these five rewards with huge side effects and enjoy the consequences.

Weiss fell into deep thought.

The first reward even included a return-to-death feature.

Going back 10 minutes, the mortality rate is still 100%.

In other words, even if you ran away at full speed 10 minutes in advance, it wouldn't matter. The entire border would probably fall, and 10 minutes wouldn't be enough to escape the caged bird's killing range.

As for the last four rewards, the side effects seem to be more severe than the last.

They will either lose the subsequent rewards of the World Book, have 40 years of their lifespan deducted, be forced to change their sequence, or become Itch.

For me, the worst option would be option four, where the sequence is forcibly changed. My rogue configuration was already messed up, and then it's forcibly shuffled. How painful would that be? It's no different from being dead.

That's right, I'd rather die than choose this.

Weiss pondered for a long time.

then.

He directly scaled up the ninth round of fate options.

This interface has been returned to the World Book.

World Book: ?

For the first time since his transmigration, Weiss felt the fluctuations of the World Book's will.

They seemed somewhat confused and bewildered.

"No, to put it bluntly, there's a bug in your choices this round, you know?"

"If I said I had a sudden burst of inspiration and guessed the answer directly from the reward options, wouldn't you be furious?"

Weiss thought to himself smugly.

World Book: ?

That's right, Weiss only glanced at the punishment details and guessed the final answers for options 2 and 3.

The third option is clearly caused by the amusement park.

Reducing lifespan is too simple.

In other words, one needs to expend about 40 years of their lifespan to activate Paradise and maintain it for up to 40 seconds in order to survive the slaughter by the caged birds.

As for the second option, it is most likely to repeatedly jump around to trigger the Wind Cloak, thereby reducing or even eliminating one's presence.

This way, there's a high probability that they'll survive, albeit barely.

However, this method could not save Elune and Whitey.

Since its existence has been erased, it can no longer influence the real world, and therefore can no longer trigger the exploration progress of the World Book.

That's why it's no longer possible to trigger the rewards from the World Book.

Weiss sneered inwardly.

"So, now that I've guessed the answer, why not just choose a lifespan that's been changed back after this crisis is over, and make up for the losses in a nice way?"

There's absolutely no need to rush into asking for more hints.

World Book: ?

Weiss has gone a bit rebellious this time.

Instead of following the usual approach in the World Book, he simply didn't choose any of them.

He began to deduce the final solution for the third option.

It has been noted that the answer is the amusement park that continues to operate for about 40 seconds.

So, what are the specific steps and solutions?

Since those who go against the flow cannot affect the interior of the park, even if they activate their elemental transformation, they can only stay in the park for one second before being forcibly expelled.

Moreover, this method cannot save Aunt Bai and Elune, who are both superhumans; it can only allow one to enter for a moment, but it still cannot change the current situation.

but--

According to the third option

The last line of the item indicates that it will not have any impact on the subsequent development of the World Book.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for Elune, who plays an important role, to get into trouble.

So, how was Elune saved?

Of course—

Inside the amusement park!!!

In that instant, Weiss slammed on the brakes again, stopping abruptly in place.

He seemed to already know the final answer.

Although this idea was a bit of a left-brain conflict, he already had a pretty good idea in mind!

"Shh!"

The next second, under Aunt Bai's puzzled gaze, Weiss's right eyeball suddenly began to radiate light like a dazzling crystal, and the light actually tore open a crack in the absolute darkness.

He just stood there and started the amusement park out of thin air.

Then do nothing.

He just stood there, lost in thought.

After staring blankly for five seconds, Weiss vaguely sensed the node at the entrance to the amusement park.

It was right in front of my own eyes.

That's right.

Other forbidden items are all external objects.

The one who goes against the flow is a pocket watch, the dangerous smile is a ring, and the gifts of greed and the coat of wind need no further introduction.

Only amusement parks use one's own eyes as their medium.

"Those who go against the tide..."

"Om-"

After making up his mind, Weiss murmured something to himself.

In an instant, the activated static force field froze his eyeballs.

At the same time, the entrance to the park was sealed off.

It presents a state of forced external release.

Originally, those who go against the flow can only pause the natural wind flowing within themselves; they cannot freeze the extraordinary power of other systems.

and so--

What Weiss stopped was not the extraordinary power emanating from Elune and White Aunt.

It's not the park entrance itself, but the park entrance.

The stillness of the person moving in the opposite direction causes the park's judgment rules and operating mechanisms to crash... reaching a critical point where it can no longer distinguish between living and inanimate objects!

At the same time.

As Weiss forced his eyelids shut.

"Wow—"

Aunt Bai and Elune were forcibly sucked into the distorted void.

In the instant after he did this, countless cracks appeared in both Weiss's right eyeball and the golden pocket watch in his pocket.

Clearly, the clash between the rules of the amusement park and those who went against the grain resulted in extremely severe damage to both.

A blood vessel instantly oozed from Weiss's right eye, and crimson liquid slowly slid down the corner of his eye. The intense pain almost caused him to lose consciousness for half a second.

But his expression grew increasingly excited.

Perhaps, I've discovered the ultimate combination of forbidden items!!!

While enduring the tearing sensation from the blood gushing from his eyes, Weiss reactivated his killing mode. Since the World Book had officially announced its cancellation, there was no point in trying to hide it anymore.

Just openly and boldly use X-ray vision to take another look.

However, the image on the map made his heart clench.

Those feathered warriors, only two hundred kilometers from the camp, appeared to be almost all dead. The red dots were disappearing from the map at a desperate pace, like a row of dominoes collapsing at an accelerated rate.

At this rate, the camp should fall in a few more seconds.

So Weiss didn't delay any longer.

He unleashed his most proficient form of wild imagination, deducing the ultimate answer to this series of actions.

First, maintain the maximum power of the amusement park's expansion range, then use the person going against the flow to completely freeze their wind power, transforming themselves back into a void-like elemental state.

They were swallowed up by the amusement park's vortex out of nowhere.

Then, in the next second.

"Shh-"

When Weiss reappeared, he was forcibly expelled by the park—

It turned out they weren't in the same spot.

Instead, it's located 30 kilometers beyond the maximum radius of the park's reach!

"vomit--"

Because of the physical strain, Weiss gagged, feeling as if his internal organs had been violently twisted.

However, thanks to the stamina provided by the 8th-tier Skullbreaker Killing Sequence, it was much easier than the last time he underwent elementalization.
