Seeking Death?

"Rest! Take a break!" Vera, who had died and died repeatedly, finally couldn't take it anymore. She raised her hand and shouted for a stop, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seeing the girl lying dead on the ground, Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly, she narrowed her eyes, and "slashed" with her sword in the direction of her right hand.

Aside from a slight stinging sensation, there was no other result, but this slight stinging sensation only made her smile even brighter.

In reality, a sword of fantasy would undoubtedly be unable to produce a physical effect, but in the world of Weird Tale, it's different.

The essence of Weird Tale is cognition, and the core of the Supernatural Tale World is information. Therefore, when a fantasy is infused with sufficient cognition, it can be perceived as "real".

This is something Feng Xue gradually realized as he repeatedly practiced the Thirteen Swords of Life Taking in his imagination, because he accidentally discovered that he could actually add [consciousness] to the "sword strike"!

He didn't know whether this was a common, advanced application of [consciousness] or a special ability that arose after he reached the state of "One Thought Connects to God," but it was undoubtedly a special power.

If he were just randomly swinging his weapon in the air without real-time feedback, it would be difficult for him to gain a deeper understanding of his attacks. But with this little girl, it's different.

She's like a target in shooting practice, clearly showing you your skill level.

With the feedback from both the swordsman and the swordswoman combined, the sword in Feng Xue's heart became increasingly real.

After lying there for about half a minute, Vera got up from the ground with lingering fear, reaching out to touch her neck, as if to confirm that her head was really still there.

Every time she was hit by Feng Xue's "fantasy," she felt like she was really going to die. However, after experiencing it a few times and confirming that she wouldn't actually die, she seemed to have come to like this exciting "extreme sport." As soon as she recovered, she would urge Feng Xue to do it again.

Well, all I can say is that kids raised in that Garbage Mountain are definitely different from those outside.

"Huff, huff..." Vera gasped for breath, wiping away imaginary cold sweat. This piqued Feng Xue's curiosity. If those who transmigrated retained some instincts due to the memories of their original human selves, then why did these beings born in the Infinite City exhibit similar habits?

Vera, oblivious to Feng Xue's confusion, casually sat down next to Feng Xue's head and suddenly asked, without warning:

"Hey you, you must be really strong, right?"

"I'd say it's just average. Besides, didn't I tell you my name?" Feng Xue said somewhat vaguely, but Vera shook her head and said seriously:

"Who knows if there's any trap in your name? I heard the Village Chief say that some people have a special connection to their own names. What if you tell me someone else's name, and they sense it immediately when I call out their name?"

"You're really smart. If there were something that convenient, wouldn't I just order it myself?" Feng Xue rolled her eyes, then cut straight to the point:

"Tell me, you said yesterday you wanted to learn about the outside world, so why are you learning how to kill people today? Where is your brother?"

"You didn't think Vero was kidnapped, so I came to find you, did you?" Vera suddenly revealed a mocking smile, and Feng Xue's face immediately darkened. However, just when he thought he had guessed wrong, Vera's expression changed:

"That's right, you guessed correctly."

"So what's wrong with you?" Feng Xue was utterly speechless at the girl's bizarre personality. He couldn't understand the structure of her thought process. However, Vera clearly didn't think there was anything wrong with her way of thinking. She adjusted her expression before speaking:

"That stupid little brother of mine suddenly disappeared last night for some reason. According to the village rules, if someone disappears, they're considered dead. If it weren't for tomorrow being Garbage Day, our village would have already moved away today. I was wondering if you had captured him, but who knew you were still burying him here."

"So?" Feng Xue raised an eyebrow. Compared to this Wuchang little girl, he had a rather good impression of the little boy named Vero.

When Vera heard Feng Xue ask this, she simply shook her head and said:

"There's no reason why. The person just went missing, that's all. I didn't want to disappear, so I came to you to learn from you. Isn't that a reasonable thing to do?"

Seeing Vera's forced composure, Feng Xue sighed and said helplessly:

"I have good news for you. Slaver Team usually capture children to sell them to other organizations as underlings, and this requires a period of training. Until then, your brother won't be in any danger."

"Of course I know about this," Vera said, forcing an indifferent expression as she stared at Feng Xue.

"That idiot is gone, so be it. I can't be bothered looking for him. I'm just leaving in a couple of days, so I came to see if I could squeeze some more money out of you!"

As she spoke, the girl suddenly stood up and did something in Feng Xue's blind spot. A series of clanging sounds followed, and Vera's voice rang out:

"There might not be enough time to dig you out, but I've cleared away all the garbage piled up around you. Now it's up to you to do your best."

"However, I simply can't try." Feng Xue rolled her eyes, then sighed.

"How about we make a deal? I'll pass on all my life's Absolute Skill to you, and in return, you'll do me a favor."

"Tell me what you want to do first." Vera looked at Feng Xue warily, but this time she didn't say anything like "Teach me first."

"It's simple, just kill me." Feng Xue said, tilting her head back as if to expose her throat.

"Are you crazy?" Vera looked at Feng Xue with a bewildered expression, but Feng Xue replied nonchalantly:

"Just tell me if you agree or not."

"You don't happen to have that special ability to possess the person who killed you, do you?" Vera looked at Feng Xue suspiciously, her tone full of doubt. Feng Xue just rolled his eyes at this, but before he could explain, Vera nodded as if she had figured it out.

"Fine, I promise you."

"Aren't you afraid I'll scheme against you?" Feng Xue raised an eyebrow, but the girl replied nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can help me find Vero."

"So you're overthinking it. Come on, watch this move." Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, imagining the moves of the Thirteen Swords of Life Taking in her inner vision. At this moment, Vera seemed to see a person appear in front of her, holding a long sword, stabbing towards her with incredibly slow movements. Every movement, every detail, even the killing intent carried by that "person" was fully revealed.

"Did you remember?" Suddenly, Feng Xue's voice interrupted Vera's daze. She shook her head vigorously and realized that this was just like the previous slashes, merely a condensation of killing intent.

Vera tried to recall in her mind, then frowned and murmured:

"I didn't memorize the moves, but I had a feeling that if I wanted to, I could use them."

"That's right." Feng Xue grinned, silently adjusting her mindset to maintain a unique State of Mind that was both calm and dynamic, before saying to the girl:

"Alright, use the trick I taught you to kill me!"
