Lin Shuang: First, I'm Not a Pervert. Second, I'm Not a Pervert... / Acheron: What Did You Do to the Puppet?

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang took out the only Light Cone she had just obtained from the room.

Then the skill [Memories of a Photograph] was activated.

Boom--

As the light emanated from the Light Cone, something like Memory Bubble surged toward Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then everything vanished, transforming into an endless galaxy.

A colossal, majestic, and awe-inspiring dragon roams the Galaxy.

The mere images of the past allowed Lin Shuang to sense an almost endless 'The Permanence'.

Just then, the wandering dragon seemed to notice Lin Shuang's spying, and suddenly it turned away.

His majestic eyes, as fiery and bright as a star, glanced in Lin Shuang's direction.

At the same time, it bent its body and caught its own Tail in its mouth.

Buzz...

Lin Shuang felt a complex buzzing in her consciousness, and this scene transformed into a clear Remembrance, remaining in Lin Shuang's mind.

What she remembered at this moment was far clearer and more intuitive than the images from the Light Cone.

Volume 1: Chapter 181 Lin Shuang: First of all, I'm not a pervert; secondly, I'm not a pervert...

A long time.

Lin Shuang opened her eyes wearily.

The Herta Puppet stepped forward and helped the swaying Lin Shuang.

But her weary face held an indescribable expression as she stared at the Light Cone in her hand.

He said softly:

"Reprinted - Ouroboros Dragon"

Buzz--

The Light Cone began to be deconstructed in Lin Shuang's hands.

The transparent crystal, which served as a sealing device, was slowly unlocked, and the 'Remembrance' sealed within it dissipated in the instant before they were about to vanish.

Overwhelmed by Remembrance surging from Lin Shuang's body.

Then assimilate and devour.

And it flowed obediently in front of Lin Shuang.

The crystal was then resealed, firmly fixing the Remembrance within it once more, transforming it into a brand new Light Cone.

At this point, the image of the Light Cone did not change much.

It was still the Ouroboros Dragon wandering the universe, but this time, the dragon's form was much clearer.

What started as a blurry silhouette has been transformed into a detailed image.

The dragon's scales, claws, and head are all clearly visible.

Especially those eyes, which were staring straight out of the frame.

It was as if the 'The Permanence' in Remembrance transcended time and life and death, looking down upon the person gazing at the Light Cone.

And with the completion of the new Light Cone...

A power several times stronger than before surged from the Light Cone.

If I had to describe it, it would be like upgrading directly from a three- Light Cone to a five- Light Cone.

"So strong..."

Lin Shuang felt the power brought by the Light Cone, and even her the Permanence power was slightly enhanced.

Just then, Herta's information panel suddenly popped up for some reason.

[Target: Herta]

[Affection: 64 (Temporarily interested)]

[Relationship: Married in name only]

['I'll deduct a 6 from your score. You even went for the dolls, I think you're really hungry!']

['Girl, your answer is so abstract, it's hard for me to give a rating. And there's no bonus this time!']

"Um?"

Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment. What happened?

Why did Herta's Affection suddenly increase by two points?

This price increase is a bit inexplicable...

I didn't do anything, so how did the price go up?

How could someone like Herta be the type to conquer things on their own?

These two points of Affection seem to have come out of nowhere.

While controlling the Herta Puppet to quickly tidy up the room, Lin Shuang fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile--

Over at the Herta.

She temporarily halted her work on modifying the Simulated Universe.

They even switched Lin Shuang's view directly to the main screen.

Herta carefully observed everything Lin Shuang did.

"Interesting... I'm becoming more and more interested in you, Lin Shuang!! Reproducing the Permanence Remembrance, even directly perfecting the Light Cone."

Herta kept dragging the video progress bar back and forth, repeatedly watching Lin Shuang upgrade the Light Cone.

"Bearing the Permanence and Destruction, yet able to manipulate Remembrance and create Light Cone... Lin Shuang, oh Lin Shuang, what secrets do you hold?"

The technology for making Light Cone is different from others; although this thing can be mass-produced.

However, its core technology is firmly in the hands of Garden of Recollection, and it is absolutely not something that an outsider can easily steal, deconstruct, or reproduce.

However, this ability appeared in Lin Shuang.

And she didn't know how she had managed to Remembrance the Permanence's appearance so vividly.

The image of Memory Bubble emerging from the Light Cone and entering Lin Shuang's body just now was something that Herta was extremely concerned about.

If that image has meaning, then what does it represent?

Was it the Remembrance within the Light Cone that triggered Lin Shuang's Remembrance?

Or is it simply reading the content of the Light Cone?

"No, I can't hold it in any longer. I have to go ask. If I don't ask, I feel like ants are crawling all over me!"

Herta didn't even last a second before directly connecting its consciousness to the Herta Puppet in Lin Shuang's room, who was still wearing her wedding dress.

Then, while Lin Shuang was still in a daze, she heard Herta's voice without any prior order:

"Hey, Lin Shuang! How did you just do that? Extracting Remembrance, sealing Remembrance, and more importantly, how did you remember them so clearly? Even the Simulated Universe couldn't record that scene completely!"

While lost in thought, Lin Shuang suddenly heard Herta's question. Just as she was about to answer, she suddenly snapped to attention!

"Hmm... Huh?! The Herta?!"

Lin Shuang suddenly turned her head, staring wide-eyed at Herta, who was still wearing a blue wedding dress.

She didn't give the Herta Puppet any instructions, nor was she bored enough to imitate the Herta's tone for role-playing.

Then Herta nodded directly:

"Yes, it was me. Tell me quickly what you just did, and why this Light Cone was upgraded in your hands."

"..."

Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment; her mind hadn't even processed what had happened—when exactly did the Herta appear?

Why is the shielding device Silver Wolf gave me so ineffective?!

"Hurry, hurry! This is very important to me!"

Herta urged Lin Shuang to hurry up, but in this situation, it was really difficult for Lin Shuang to concentrate on discussing academic issues.

"Wait a minute, won't you listen to my excuses first?"

"Hmm? Oh, you mean this? It's alright. I understand the attraction of my unparalleled beauty to others. Besides, I already gave you this doll, so you're free to do whatever you want with it. Even if you install a reproductive system, I don't care."

The Herta Puppet stood with its hands on its hips, even giving Lin Shuang a look that seemed to say, "Why are you being so nagging?"

"... First of all, I'm not a pervert. Secondly, I wouldn't do anything to your doll."

As Lin Shuang explained, she mentally cursed, "What kind of outrageous words are you spouting?"

Is this the ethical and moral outlook of a genius?

Apart from things that interest me, everything else is worthless, meaningless, and not worth wasting time on.

"What do I care if you're a pervert or not?"

But it's clear that the Herta truly doesn't care about such things at all.

"By the way, have you given away any of your dolls before?"

"How could that be? Besides you, who else would dare ask me for a doll? Alright, hurry up! Don't waste time."

"Why should I tell you? You even secretly came over to spy on me!"

"Tsk, who cares about spying on you? I, Herta, keep my word. If the location system weren't completely independent and difficult to remove, and if you didn't insist on blocking the signal, I wouldn't even notice you."

Herta clicked his tongue in annoyance and continued speaking.

"Okay, okay, I apologize. Please tell me how you did it."

Lin Shuang awkwardly dug her toes into the ground.

So she's supposed to take the blame for this herself?

Forget it, I'm feeling down. Let's talk about something else.

"Ahem... well, let's talk about the Light Cone."

Volume 1: Chapter 182 Acheron: Did you do something to the doll?

Lin Shuang selectively answered some of Herta's questions to change the subject.

After all, there wasn't much to say; it was simply a summary of the knowledge and abilities that the skills brought, which was explained to Herta.

Herta frowned more and more as he listened, and by the end, the way he looked at Lin Shuang had become strange.

You're not from the Garden of Recollection, so where did you get such an exaggerated ability to manipulate Remembrance?

Herta now really wants to capture Lin Shuang and take her to the Space Station for thorough research.

This guy didn't seem to possess any power related to Path of Remembrance, yet he handled things like shaping Light Cone with his bare hands and extracting Remembrance so smoothly.

This doesn't make sense.

However, the Simulated Universe is also in an important stage of updating.

Herta was completely unable to spare any time at the moment.

Well--

Herta sighed, hands on his hips, then looked up at Lin Shuang and said:

"Lin Shuang, can you let me start a few more research projects? Your physique is even more amazing than I thought."

"..."
