From Universal Calendar, we are insignificant and fleeting, so whatever we do is meaningless and doesn't matter. --Rick

"Hmm... she's the mastermind, isn't she?"

After gazing thoughtfully at the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas for a moment, Bai Zhi suddenly turned to the March-shi and asked them a question.

"Good people don't live long, but evil ones live a thousand years. All those previous plans and schemes must have been her doing, right? I think I should have more in common with her."

"In our world, to survive, you have to be ruthless. The scariest thing in the Apocalypse isn't the Anomaly, but the Player whose personalities have drastically changed. Kindness to others is cruelty to oneself. I don't think my sister did anything wrong."

Reaching out, he touched the head Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas March-shi, speaking calmly.

"You can judge us however you want. We just want to survive, and incidentally, bring a little hope to those waiting for us to return. You'd never understand..."

He didn't finish his sentence because he was annoyed by his older brother's antics, so Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas Jian retaliated with a merciless elbow strike...

"Grand and eloquent words."

The somewhat comical scene was not witnessed; the voice of the Dead Zero, sounded extremely cold.

"To ruthlessly harm those who offer help, and then feign innocence as a victim—what's the point of such hypocrisy?"

Kindness is inherently a form of sacrifice—either voluntary or the sacrifice of others.

Clutching her abdomen with her hand, her lips twitching slightly, March-shi smiled faintly to maintain her composure.

Call us high-sounding or hypocritical, it doesn't matter.

"[I’llCarryYouGuys] was killed because of you?"

Reaching out to touch his chin, Bai Zhi suddenly asked a question.

"No, he was killed by [Colorful Black], because [Colorful Black] wanted to use him to test out certain rules."

March-shi glanced at Bai Zhi and shook her head.

"As for the death of [Colorful Black], it was simply his bad luck. He entered the second layer of the dream on the first night, and lacking information, he unsurprisingly met a tragic end there..."

"What about [Night Evolution Breath]?"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi turned his gaze to the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas.

"How did that Investigator die?"

"You mean that idiot?"

Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas, his face remained expressionless.

"Ignoring his injuries, he forced his way through the first three layers of dream barriers to get here. But halfway there, his Sanity Value gave out, the [Doll Curse] on him erupted, and he was turned into a doll."

"Understood."

Nodding, Bai Zhi turned to the Young Girl beside him and began to speak in a serious tone.

"Be careful, that guy might be a yandere."

Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas: "..."

"To be honest, at the beginning I kept wondering why you went through all that trouble to get here. After all, the passage between the second and Third Floor of the dream isn't something anyone can cross. Don't be fooled by your act of being completely unharmed; you've probably suffered quite a bit of damage, haven't you?"

Looking at the March-shi and the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas before him, Bai Zhi curled his lip.

"So here's the question: why did you go to such great lengths to get in here? Do you intend to kill Anna and end this Dungeon altogether? What are your reasons and motives?"

"Oh? So what?"

Turning her head slightly, she glanced at the increasingly cold-looking Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas her, and the March-shi seemed slightly curious.

"After eliminating all impossible options, the remaining option, no matter how unbelievable, must be the correct one."

Looking at the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas there, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.

"This place is completely empty. After ruling out the possibility that you went through all that trouble to come here for tourism, taking photos, posting on WeChat, sharing on Moments, eating hot pot... and so on, the last remaining option is undoubtedly this: you're here to kill Anna."

"Why?"

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, the Dead Zero frowned slightly, and March-shi also looked at him, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"The reason is simple: only by killing Anna can those who have been turned into dolls truly be resurrected."

Looking towards the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas, Bai Zhi's expression remained noncommittal.

"If I'm not mistaken, the [Night Evolution Breath] doll is in her hands, am I right?"

"If that's the case, Hua Yu does seem to be..."

He also turned his head to look at the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas around him. After a moment of contemplation, the March-shi nodded thoughtfully.

"Looks like I'm going to have another brother-in-law? If that's the case..."

Before the March-shi could finish speaking, Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas Jian stomped hard on his own brother's foot.

"Whose side are you on anyway!? You just accept whatever people say without question!?"

"Because it makes a lot of sense. I mean, why did you ask me to put away the Fengxi’s Bone Doll... Stop stepping on it, let go, it hurts."

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on March-shi's face appeared somewhat unnatural.

"That's utter nonsense. You've completely enraged me."

Looking at Bai Zhi not far away, Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas's expression grew even colder.

"Why bother with so many reasons to harm others? If you want to, just do it. We're here only for the exclusive Dungeon drops after killing Anna. Who would do that for that idiot? Profit is the most important thing."

"Looks like she's a bit Tsundere."

Nodding, Bai Zhi added another sentence to the Dead Zero.

Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas: "..."

"... She killed two people."

After a moment of silence, the Dead Zero spoke.

"There are two possible explanations."

With a snap, Bai Zhi slapped out the Radiance magazine and began loading Bullet into it, speaking casually as he did so.

"First, given the lack of timely rescue, rather than letting those tentacles contaminate their bodies and cause them to be mutated, it's better to simply turn them into dolls; that might save their lives. Second, you've experienced what happened in that passage before. Do you think Fireworks of Romance can hold out?"

"But... no, that's not possible."

As if she had thought of something, the Young Girl shook her head, but then emphasized a sentence aloud.

"They are the enemy."

"I know that, of course. After all, our fundamental positions are different, and so are our values... How much of your fighting strength do you still retain?"

Bai Zhi reloaded the magazine and glanced at the Young Girl beside him.

"Some things are better said sooner rather than later. There's no need to hide them. Are you having a splitting headache right now? There's no need to force yourself to deal with this."

No, I'm in great shape right now.

The Young Girl shook her head slightly.

"As for combat strength... 110%."
