Anna and Qingyi
It was around 11 p. m., at Bai Zhi's house.
The weather outside was still bitterly cold, with a biting wind. In such a Special cold period, when supermarkets and various entertainment facilities were all closed, no one would be foolish enough to go out. Most people stayed at home.
The Cold Wave has only been here for less than a day, and the effects of the Inner World on the Real World have not yet been fully manifested. However, it will be hard to say what will happen in a few days. Who knows what will be the situation of those common who died in the Inner World in the Real World?
Regardless, the Players have done their best to shift the battlefield to the Inner World; otherwise, at least 80% of the city's population would have died.
On such a cold night, only indoors with the air conditioning on can one feel a slight warmth.
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Looking at Anna, who appeared no different from any other person, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Just like the feeling he had for the Loli Qingyi, he couldn't find any fault with Anna after she turned into a human. It wasn't just a simple transformation of a doll, but a genuine transformation into a human.
"No problem. Anna is Retainer of the [Doll Princess] familiar. She can turn humans into dolls, and she can also turn dolls into humans. So Anna is a real human now, and she can do anything."
Wearing a long white dress and a silver crown as a hair ornament on her forehead, Anna deliberately spun around in place before happily rushing to Bai Zhi's side and hugging his hand, her heartbeat clearly Perception.
"So, Prince Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
"[Doll Princess]...?"
"She is a beautiful Princess that Anna has Meng He and read about since she was a child. Anna's abilities were bestowed upon her by her. However, her real name cannot be revealed, otherwise she will wake up from her slumber, and something terrible will happen."
Anna held up a finger in front of her, her face serious.
"Previously, it was because of the [Doll Princess] power that Anna wasn't assimilated by the [Lord of Flesh and Blood]."
"[Doll Princess]... that thing?"
After briefly recalling the planet-sized dolls he had seen in that passage and the world that had been completely transformed into dolls, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
They are like Terrifying Existence that have destroyed and completely taken over a world; just mentioning their real names will attract their prying eyes.
However, everyone's understanding is different, and everyone's perception of that existence is different. There are as many Ham as there are people. Just as Bai Zhi recognized the name of that existence as [Lord of Flesh and Blood], An Nuan also recognized the name of that existence as [Doll Princess].
Although we don't know the exact strength of that being, the fact that the [Doll Curse] suppressed the [Mutation Curse] shows that it is stronger than that lump of minced meat.
"The strange occurrences that happened to Anna, the powerful Anomaly that occupied an entire world, and the Mysterious Train traveling through the Void..."
As if he had thought of something, Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly.
Whether it's the world completely devoured by the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] or the world assimilated into a doll by the [Doll Princess], these two destroyed worlds share a striking commonality: the entire world is inhabited only by that one Anomaly.
However, it's impossible for only one Anomaly to exist in a world. So, after so many Anomaly completely destroyed a world, did the Anomaly that ravaged that world merge together to form a completely new Anomaly like these two Terrifying Existence, or did only the most powerful Anomaly have the right to occupy a world and become stronger?
Bai Zhi shook his head slightly, suppressing the vague thoughts that had arisen in his mind.
Even if he had roughly deduced some information and inferences about those Anomaly, such matters were beyond his ability to get involved in at his current Level of less than ten. Putting his energy into them now would be completely useless.
--The truth about those Anomaly is not something he can explore at the moment.
The most important task at present is to take advantage of this Large-scale Campaign Quest to improve his Level and strength as soon as possible. It took him a long time to reach Level 7 before, but now, in less than a day, he has reached Level 9, which can be described as rapid progress.
Taking advantage of this Large-scale Campaign Quest, he will have the opportunity to join the First Echelon of Player, the same level as Dead Zero.
"By the way, what about the Qiansè?"
As if he had thought of something, Bai Zhi turned to Qingyi and asked her a question.
"Also, approximately how long did I stay this time?"
"..."
She glared at Anna with resentment, and after staring at him for a moment, Qingyi suddenly bit his hand as if in revenge, leaving two neat rows of teeth marks on the back of his hand.
"Wait... by the way, were you born in the Year of the Dog?"
Seeing the teeth marks on the back of his hand, Bai Zhi was both amused and exasperated.
"Now that I've encountered something like that, there's no way I could just stand by and do nothing, right?"
"... She went to Walkthrough Dungeon, just like you. She left an hour ago and should be back tomorrow morning."
She placed her hand over the row of teeth marks, rested her head against Bai Zhi's body, turned her gaze to the side, and spoke in a muffled Qingyi.
"As for you, you've probably been gone for seven or eight hours."
"Is that so? In that case, let's finalize Anna's identity first."
Bai Zhi instinctively reached out to press his forehead, but after finding that both his hands were tightly held in the arms of two little girls, he gave up the idea with a hint of helplessness.
Turning to look at Anna beside him, Bai Zhi murmured to himself.
"As for Anna's identity..."
"Anna is Princess."
With half her body leaning against Bai Zhi, Anna happily raised her hand as she met his gaze.
"Hmph, what's with the attitude? I'm Princess too."
With a soft hum, the Loli Qingyi muttered to herself.
"Besides, if you want Blonde Loli, it's not like I can't transform. Not only Blonde Loli, I can even transform into Red-haired Loli..."
Bai Zhi: "..."
After discussing it for a while, Bai Zhi finally managed to reluctantly finalize the setting that Anna and Qingyi were best friends. Because of this Large-scale Campaign Quest, Anna, who was also Player, came to find Qingyi... Anyway, that's roughly the idea.
While the idea of Blonde Loli suddenly appearing out of nowhere does seem a bit fantastical, Bai Zhi figured it should be fine to fool Mu Qiansè with it...
"Alright, it's almost midnight, let's go to sleep."
Bai Zhi looked up at the clock and yawned.
If we calculate based on the time within the Dungeon, he hasn't slept for almost a whole day.
"Anna will sleep with Qingyi tonight..."
"I don't want to! (▼皿▼#)!!"
Before Bai Zhi finish speaking, Qingyi shook her head vigorously, interrupting him with unusual firmness.
"Anyway Mu Qiansè isn't back yet, so let Anna sleep in her room!!"
"It's okay."
Anna reached out and took Bai Zhi 'Bai Zhi hand, leaning her body against him, and smiled happily.
"As for Anna, Your Highness just sleep with the Prince. Of course, Princess should sleep with Prince."
"..."
After a three-second silence, the White-haired loli quickly stood up and, ignoring Anna's protests, forcibly dragged Anna into her room.
"Well..."
Seeing this scene before him, Bai Zhi scratched his cheek with a slightly ambiguous expression.
"Speaking of their relationship... doesn't it seem like it's gotten a little better?"
