Burial Ground

"... It seems you were right."

Looking at the Land Deed Levitation in mid-air, the White-haired loli's expression became quite complicated for a moment.

"So you've never believed me all this time?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi turned to look at the other person.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the [World Contract]?"

"[World Contract] is just [World Contract]. Names are just labels... Come on, let's get to where we're going."

He walked up the steps to the platform, and the White-haired loli turned to look at him.

"I can tell you the truth about some things, but you might not be able to accept it."

"The truth?"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Bai Zhi followed and walked onto the platform.

"You mean the truth behind why you're Anomaly, yet so Special in yourself? If that's it, then there's no need to talk about it anymore; bringing it up again will make you uncomfortable, won't it?"

"... You guessed it?"

"Ah... it's not about whether I guessed it or not, it's just simple deduction, after all, you yourself gave me a hint."

As he spoke, Bai Zhi turned his head to look at the Bone Pit over there.

"The final experiment, the final Kindling Project."

"... I hate smart people."

After a moment of silence, the White-haired loli lowered her head and spoke softly.

"I have no secrets from someone like you."

"Stand User are attracted to each other, and the same goes for smart Stand User. Thank you for yesterday's homework; it was kind of you to carefully imitate my handwriting. You deserve all that."

With a look of admiration, Bai Zhi gave the other person a thumbs up, making no attempt to hide his praise.

"As the saying goes, one should finish what one starts. Giving up halfway is not a good thing. Perseverance leads to victory. From now on, I'll leave all my homework to you."

"???"

Some things are actually not suitable to be discussed openly. It's better for everyone to see through things but not say them.

This Underground Hall may have truly been built as a last refuge, but in the face of a hopeless Apocalypse where plants cease to grow, animals die one after another, and the entire world is about to face destruction, this refuge is actually meaningless.

The large pit dug to hold the White Bones after everyone who hid here died, and the high platform built in the very center... this actually explains something.

Those last survivors who once hid underground here for refuge were all sacrifices to that last forbidden experiment.

They used the deaths of all of them to preserve the last Seed of Fire of this world, to live in the face of death. As for the most Perfect experimental subject of this forbidden experiment that had been initiated, he was standing right beside him at this moment.

Because of the heavy burden she carried, she simply didn't want to talk about her past, even though Bai Zhi had asked her about it several times before.

With a brief flash of silver light on the platform, Bai Zhi and his opponent vanished from the platform together.

Where is this place?

Looking at the scene before him, Bai Zhi seemed quite bewildered for a moment.

This is a sealed underground Cave, which is significantly narrower than the previous Underground Hall.

What lay before him was a dense array of Black Coffin, piled up in layers, exuding an inexplicable chill.

The material of these Black Coffin is unknown; they are transparent and form a single piece, with no opening to be found. Rather than coffins, they are more like solid cubes.

At the very center of these coffins was a small platform, on which were placed two Crystal Coffin that were distinctly different from the Black Coffin. Within these two Crystal Coffin, two small figures could be vaguely seen.

"This is Burial Ground."

As she walked towards the two Crystal Coffin in the center, the White-haired loli explained.

"We once studied hundreds of Anomaly in detail and made rough Anomaly of thousands of them. The [Shadow Demon] and [The Borrowed Face Grudge] Anomaly have the strongest survival and disguise abilities. Once they are successfully developed, they will be extremely terrifying. However, we are slightly different from these two Anomaly..."

"Different?"

Bai Zhi originally intended to avoid the black coffins, but after seeing that the other party was stepping over them without any hesitation, Bai Zhi simply decided not to waste the time and followed suit.

"That's right, because we are immortal."

Walking to her Crystal Coffin, the White-haired loli spoke earnestly.

"Our true forms are imprisoned and sealed here. Even if we are killed, we can be resurrected here very quickly."

"So you're basically playing a virtual Game, right?"

Bai Zhi glanced at the Girl lying in the Crystal Coffin, her eyes closed and seemingly asleep, then crossed his arms and nodded thoughtfully.

"As long as no one can get here and destroy your true forms, it's as if you have countless lives?"

"Resurrection takes time and also causes considerable damage to oneself... Take myself for example, if I died three or four times, my consciousness would probably fall into chaos."

With a touch of nostalgia, the White-haired loli girl reached out and touched the surface of the Crystal Coffin. Looking at the Girl lying inside, whose appearance was exactly like hers, she sighed softly.

"There are 327 coffins here, representing the 327 successful experiments. But as time has passed, only I am left. They all failed to survive."

"... What's inside these coffins?"

Looking back at the densely packed coffins in this small space, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"When their own consciousness sinks into the Abyss of depravity, the originally Transparency crystal gradually becomes cloudy, and then turns into a final black... This is a protective measure."

As she spoke, the White-haired loli raised her head and looked at the adjacent Crystal Coffin not far in front of her.

Compared to her crystal-clear coffin, this Crystal Coffin was noticeably cloudy, with some areas even turning completely black.

Now, I'm all alone.
