Chapter Index

    The night deepened.

    The little girl quietly lifted a corner of her blanket.

    “Who should I kill first?”

    “I have to kill them all eventually, so I’ll start with the strongest ones.”

    “But what if I can’t beat them?”

    “Throw them to the multi-negative personality manifestation for harmless processing.”

    “…Baxter, I suddenly feel confident.”

    The little girl talked to herself, about to slide off the bed, when she suddenly felt a heavy sensation and a strong wave of sleepiness overwhelmed her. Her eyelids closed, and she fell asleep.

    Immediately after.

    A woman appeared in the void.

    —Charlotte!

    Nine Aspects’ most talented personality, “Serpent Woman” Charlotte!

    Shen Ye floated up from the little girl’s body, looking at the other person with surprise and saying:

    “Aren’t you fighting the Demon of Fear in the parallel world? Why are you back?”

    “I can hardly hold it back anymore,” Charlotte said.

    “No way,” Shen Ye was startled, “The things the Demon of Fear has to go through are all predetermined past events in history, you should know that.”

    Charlotte shook her head and sighed:

    “Knowing it is one thing, but when I actually go and face it again, and have to try my best to stop it, first of all, I myself am extremely severely affected, while the Demon of Fear is thriving and getting stronger.”

    “So you came back this time for?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Your progress seems good, I need some advice and strength from you,” Charlotte said.

    Charlotte didn’t answer.

    She leaned over and looked at the sleeping little girl in the bed, observing her carefully for seven or eight minutes, a genuine smile gradually spreading across her face:

    “Her energy is abundant, and the personalities get along harmoniously, helping each other. This is all thanks to you, Baxter.”

    “It’s alright,” Shen Ye also smiled, “We were just about to kill someone, and you arrived.”

    Charlotte nodded slightly and asked:

    “Do you have any suggestions for me? Regarding the situation with the Demon of Fear.”

    “I remember everyone in that world is you,” Shen Ye said.

    “Yes, but I couldn’t kill the Demon of Fear,” Charlotte said.

    “Change strategy.”

    “Such as?”

    “Don’t try to stop it, don’t confront it.”

    Charlotte exclaimed, “Then it wins, Baxter, you really are—”

    Shen Ye interrupted her, continuing his previous sentence: “No, you must not suppress it, that will only make it stronger, because it is inherently the most negative personality.”

    “You have to give it care and attention, give it selfless help, let everyone treat it with the most genuine heart.”

    “Love it.”

    Charlotte was stunned.

    After a long while, she gradually came to her senses.

    That’s right.

    This is the real solution.

    Worth a try!

    “Baxter, you’re a genius—I’ll leave this to you. I’m taking the other personalities and their power with me.”

    “Good luck!”

    After Charlotte finished speaking, she touched the sleeping little girl’s forehead and then hastily drilled into the void, disappearing.

    Only Shen Ye, in his “ghost” state, remained.

    “Leaving so quickly… why does it feel like she’s lost her former aura? Or is it because she’s had too much contact?”

    Shen Ye muttered, shook his head, and merged with the little girl again.

    The next instant.

    The little girl opened her eyes, sat up in bed, rubbed her hands, and said excitedly:

    “Pe’a Suo, check if there are any patrols in the corridors outside, then I’ll act with Charlotte.”

    She jumped out of bed, lowered her voice, and said, “Nancy can pay attention to whether there are any powerful beasts here, after all, you can communicate with beasts.”

    “Charlotte, you go first, I’ll be backup.”

    The little girl hunched her back, as if ready to act at any moment.

    One breath.

    Two breaths.

    Three breaths.

    She still stood still, a look of surprise gradually appearing on her face:

    “Pe’a Suo? Charlotte? Nancy?”

    No response.

    It wasn’t until this moment that she suddenly remembered what “Serpent Woman” Charlotte had said just now:

    “…I’ll leave this to you, I’m taking the other personalities and their power with me.”

    Took them.

    Gone.

    Gone.

    Bastard!

    You took them all, are you expecting me to play the little girl all by myself?

    The little girl scratched her scalp in agony.

    Damn Charlotte!

    I’ve been working day and night!

    It’s infuriating!

    She flopped onto the bed, ignoring everything, and started sleeping.

    But how could she sleep at a time like this?

    After a few minutes, she sighed, sat up, leaned against the wall, and fell into thought.

    A strange sense of urgency welled up in her heart.

    What if Charlotte failed…

    What would happen to her?

    The rivalry between the two parallel worlds would ultimately lead to a confrontation with the Demon of Fear.

    The Demon of Fear would definitely kill her.

    Shen Ye was silent for a long while, then a vague idea suddenly formed in her mind.

    No matter what.

    The most important thing now was to fulfill her promise.

    She opened the radio again.

    “Prepare some things, Kunlun.”

    “But how can I give them to you?” Kunlun’s voice came from the radio.

    “Leave them in a convenient place for you, I’ll go get them myself.”

    Then, the little girl listed all the things she needed.

    “Okay… I’ll arrange it right away… it’ll be done in a few minutes.”

    Kunlun’s voice carried a hint of helplessness.

    The little girl silently got out of bed, walked to the dormitory door, and pulled it.

    The door was locked.

    Couldn’t get out.

    The little girl was silent for a moment.

    шωш★ ttκá n★ C〇

    Now the multiple negative personalities and the Emperor Species were still fighting fiercely in the Dharma Realm.

    It was not convenient for her to appear by traversing the Dharma Realm.

    Then…

    She turned and left, walked to the bathroom, first plugged the drain of the sink, then turned on the faucet and filled half the sink with water.

    “From now on, I have to go all out…”

    She looked at her reflection in the water and muttered softly to herself.

    The next instant.

    The drain was opened.

    The little girl also disappeared in an instant.

    Only the faint glowing words remained in the void:

    “You activated ‘Me Within the Mirror’ and entered the water mirror of the sink.”

    “The water flowed down the drain, leaving the room.”

    “You left with the water flow.”

    The water from the sink rushed down the drainpipe.

    Several minutes later.

    Underground, the water in various pipes converged, finally flowing into the sewage treatment system.

    Above the purified water pool.

    A small figure of a girl appeared.

    Shen Ye.

    No, Baxter.

    No—

    That was the vampire’s name.

    As a little girl, she actually had no real name.

    She flew to the ceiling, looking out the window.

    This was the edge of many buildings.

    Not far outside was the wilderness.

    The little girl entered the window and then exited from the other side of the window.

    —A window was also a kind of mirror.

    The little girl quickly formed hand seals and whispered:

    “Four Kings.”

    Four figures walked out of the Dharma image, each holding a weapon and striking a pose.

    “Go attract monsters,” Shen Ye said.

    The Four Kings nodded, swept past her, and flew toward the center of the research institute.

    The little girl, on the other hand, flew in one direction.

    Soon, in front of an open window, she saw what she wanted.

    A phone.

    And a square cardboard box, the contents already printed.

    This will do!

    The little girl collected the items and fully expanded her Dharma image.

    After doing this, she once again hid in the mirror world formed by the windowpane, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.

    Before long.

    A series of explosions sounded from the center of the research institute.

    Followed by piercing alarms.

    The Four Kings retreated.

    A group of professionals followed them.

    “Don’t let them escape!”

    “Go!”

    The professionals charged forward.

    The next second.

    Everything around them suddenly changed.

    The research institute vanished from sight.

    The professionals found themselves standing on a tall mountain.

    The sky was dark.

    There was a torch in the clearing ahead.

    The torch illuminated a narrow path.

    “What is this place?” someone asked in a deep voice.

    “Form tactical teams based on your respective professions and start exploring the situation here!” a professional shouted.

    The professionals quickly formed tactical teams.

    The leader, holding the torch, rushed forward along the path.

    They soon arrived at a cliff.

    There was no road ahead!

    Rumble—

    A huge roar.

    A steel body over a dozen meters tall flew up, like a demon or a god, suspended in the abyss of the cliff.

    “Immortal Puppet!”

    Someone exclaimed.

    “It’s over, with our strength, how can we possibly beat an Immortal Puppet!” another professional said.

    Unexpectedly, the Immortal Puppet did not attack.

    “Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you,” the Immortal Puppet rumbled.

    “Help us?” said the professional holding the torch.

    “There’s a devil here, we need to fight it together. Only after we kill it can we safely leave,” the Immortal Puppet said.

    All the professionals looked in the direction the Immortal Puppet pointed.

    They saw a huge nest on a distant plain.

    A shrill cry echoed from the nest.

    “Magical beast! And a very ancient one!”

    “Let’s go.”

    “Ignore this Immortal Puppet, we can’t beat a magical beast of that level!”

    “Run!”

    The professionals screamed.

    However, the power fluctuation from the nest grew stronger and stronger.

    That monster was coming!

    Everyone frantically searched for a way out, but found nothing.

    In the nick of time—

    The Immortal Puppet suddenly roared:

    “Quick, I’m low on energy, give me some energy, and I’ll hold off that monster!”

    “How do we give you energy?” the torch-wielding professional asked in a deep voice.

    Following its pre-arranged plan, the Immortal Puppet produced a large, square sign and threw it at their feet.

    “I know you came in a hurry and surely didn’t bring money, but don’t worry, as long as you scan this QR code on the ground with your phone and transfer enough funds, I can fight for you.”

    The Immortal Puppet’s voice was honest and sincere, and it added:

    “Please rest assured, this place is connected to your world, so there’s Wi-Fi signal.”

    “Quick! The situation is urgent, don’t delay!”

    All the professionals were speechless for a moment.

    Big brother.

    If the situation was really that urgent, why did you still have time to draw this QR code cardboard?

    Everyone stood still.

    A howl suddenly erupted from the nest.

    Hardly any time to react—

    An ice storm suddenly descended, sweeping towards everyone.

    “A six-fold Dharma Realm spell! Work together, be careful!”

    The leading professional shouted loudly.

    Just as everyone was about to attack, they saw seven or eight more large-scale ice storms appear around the mountain peaks.

    —Instant cast!

    Nine ice storms were released in an instant.

    This number broke the six-fold limit, rising to a high-level seven-fold spell.

    Who could withstand that?!

    In just one encounter, two people were blown away, instantly turning into ice chunks in mid-air.

    —They were killed!

    Just as despair filled their hearts, the immortal puppet suddenly spread its arms, blocking all the ice storms.

    In an instant.

    The threat of death quietly receded.

    “Quick!”

    The Immortal Puppet roared, “Quickly scan to pay! Otherwise, I won’t last long!”

    Damn, this is too absurd.

    But for the sake of survival—

    Everyone frantically pulled out their phones, brought up “scan,” and scanned the QR code.

    “Beep!”

    An interface popped up.

    The amount was 100,000 world credit points.

    How thoughtful, even the payment amount was already set, so you didn’t have to agonize or worry.

    Just pay.

    Buy life!

    Not expensive!

    Everyone started paying.

    A continuous female voice sounded from the Immortal Puppet:

    “You have a new incoming payment, totaling 100,000 world credit points.”

    The voice sounded several times.

    Suddenly.

    A sharp icicle pierced through the Immortal Puppet’s finger gap, impaling a professional’s head.

    The professional died instantly.

    “What is the meaning of this? We clearly paid, why is he still dead!”

    The professional captain roared.

    A pained voice also came from the Immortal Puppet: “Go look at his phone! He was pretending to scan just now, but he didn’t actually pay, so he can’t enjoy my protection service!”

    Everyone fell silent for a moment.

    But soon.

    Several more identical female voices echoed from the Immortal Puppet:

    “You have a new incoming payment, totaling 100,000 world credit points.”

    The Immortal Puppet turned its head and roared:

    “I told you to transfer money to me, does money defeat that monster?!”

    “Of course not!” the professional team leader said.

    “Exactly,” the voice from the Immortal Puppet conveyed a sense of grievance: “I wasn’t actually asking for your money; I mainly wanted to see if you had the right attitude.”

    “By the way, this feeling of being unappreciated is really a turn-off.”

    The Immortal Puppet covered its face, whimpering, and flew off into the distance.

    It flew away.

    The professionals were stunned in place.

    “Hey.”

    “What.”

    “At first I didn’t pay, but now I have, so why did it still run away?”

    “…I can’t figure it out either.”

    They didn’t have time to think.

    An overwhelming ice storm spell surged towards them.

    On the other side.

    The little girl moved between windowpanes.

    Close to two hours had passed.

    There was only one hour left before the selection began.

    She needed to kill quickly.

    —The powerful old man hadn’t appeared.

    Perhaps he wasn’t here.

    The little girl kept moving.

    The alert siren of the entire research institute was getting louder and louder.

    Once someone hurried past.

    The little girl in the windowpane would watch them.

    In an instant.

    These people disappeared.

    They appeared directly in the wild lair of the Guanghan Palace.

    Here, the Earth Demon Beast had ample rest and was continuously releasing ice storms.

    The little girl herself did not make many moves.

    She just kept moving, moving, and moving!

    Everyone in her path disappeared.

    Using these future Duality Dharma Manifestations and attributions, every researcher and professional in the institute had to face the “End” Star Earth Demon Beast!

    In just twenty minutes.

    The kitchen staff and cleaners survived.

    Everyone else was annihilated.

    The little girl found a blind spot out of camera range and waited quietly.

    A large drone flew in from the night sky.

    It landed steadily on the research institute’s rooftop, unloaded its cargo, and then slowly flew away.

    “All exchanged on the black market, shipped at the fastest speed.”

    Kunlun’s voice came from the phone.

    “Big Skeleton, go to the top floor and check the goods,” the little girl said.

    A skeleton appeared from the void.

    It transformed into a flying skeletal dragon, soaring straight up to the rooftop, then transforming back.

    The so-called goods were a two-meter-high square enclosure made of wooden boards.

    The Big Skeleton opened it.

    Inside was another layer of iron container.

    Opening the container again.

    A golden light shone through.

    “It’s gold, that’s right, we can collect the Dharma Image now.”

    The Big Skeleton said.

    Only then did the little girl show a look of joy.

    Dharma images needed energy to continuously evolve.

    Now that she finally acquired a batch of gold, she could consider how to upgrade later.

    An invisible ripple shimmered in the void.

    The gold, along with the Big Skeleton, disappeared.

    Everything was done.

    The little girl opened a door and walked in.

    She returned to the dormitory and glanced at Sophie.

    Sophie was sound asleep.

    The little girl got into bed, pulled up the covers, and began to think about what had just happened.

    Suddenly.

    A faint weeping sound came from outside the door.

    The little girl’s eyes narrowed.

    This crying was not right.

    The sound of crying had penetrated the human world from the Dharma Realm, and specifically reached her.

    It was a call to her.

    Could it be that “Myriad Shadows Wailing Demonic City”?

    Shen Ye sat up from the bed, grabbed the Hongying Saber from the void, and holding the saber, walked quietly to the door.

    At this point, everyone had already been killed, so there was no fear of opening the door and alerting anyone.

    The long saber lightly cut the door lock.

    Click.

    The door opened.

    Shen Ye walked out and immediately saw a little girl, identical to herself, squatting at the end of the corridor, weeping incessantly.

    —Another personality had appeared!

    Shen Ye tightened her grip on the long saber and asked:

    “Something on your mind?”

    The reason she asked this was because the previous dark personality had made a demand—

    To not let go of any bad guys here.

    Charlotte had agreed to her, and only then did the dark personality merge her power into Charlotte’s body.

    Now.

    Another negative personality appeared.

    Perhaps she also had some request?

    The little girl said, “The Demon of Fear and Charlotte are fighting a tough battle.”

    Shen Ye nodded.

    “The Emperor Species is holding back my Dharma Image—in fact, it won’t be able to hold on for much longer,” the little girl added.

    Shen Ye nodded.

    “I don’t have the patience to wait too long, let’s just decide the winner directly,” the little girl said.

    “Which personality are you?” Shen Ye asked.

    The little girl slowly opened her mouth, emitting dozens of overlapping voices:

    “We are all of Nancy’s negative personalities, only the Demon of Fear is not among us.”

    Shen Ye asked:

    “What do you mean by deciding the winner directly?”

    “It’s simple, you will experience all of Nancy’s darkest moments throughout her life. If you get lost in negative emotions and can’t pull yourself out, you lose; if you can avoid all the pain and maintain normal emotions, you win,” the little girl said.

    “What if I win? What if I lose?” Shen Ye asked.

    “If you lose, you will be destroyed along with this world.”

    “What about Charlotte?”

    “Charlotte will no longer have any assistance—we will return to the other parallel world with the Dharma image to help the Demon of Fear defeat Charlotte.”

    “Then… what if I win?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Everything we have will be yours,” the little girl said.

    Shen Ye looked at her and said:

    “Under such circumstances, you still want to have a showdown with me?”

    “Yes,” the little girl said.

    Shen Ye fell silent.

    —This was not “not having the patience to wait too long.”

    Perhaps hope had sprouted in the other party’s heart?

    To be or not to be, that is the question.

    These personalities were immersed in endless pain in their memories, and the thing they longed for was actually something she knew.

    Shen Ye said:

    “Then it’s settled.”

    The little girl immediately smiled.

    Black blood overflowed from her eyes, flowing down her cheeks, and she slowly opened her mouth:

    “Without any buffer, you will continuously experience all the events, thus falling into the same pain as Nancy…”

    “Start now!”

    Everything around them flashed and disappeared.

    Shen Ye found herself sitting on a fast-moving bus.

    The negative personality collective floated beside her, saying:

    “Starting from the closest historical node.”

    “—This is an escape, Nancy escaped from the institute.”

    “Endure everything, you are Nancy.”

    She finished speaking and disappeared.

    There weren’t many people on the bus.

    Shen Ye looked out the window and saw only endless wilderness.

    The window reflected her blurred image.

    —The little girl looked tired and panicked, but after a period of observation, her original emotions slowly calmed down.

    Suddenly.

    A voice sounded beside her:

    “Your parents must be truly carefree, letting you take a bus to another city alone.”

    Shen Ye turned her head to look.

    She saw a middle-aged woman walk over and sit in the seat next to her.

    What would happen?

    Shen Ye looked at the other party, quietly waiting.

    “I see you haven’t eaten or drunk anything—here, auntie has some snacks and drinks. Have some first.”

    The middle-aged woman took out several pieces of bread and a bottle of drink.

    “Thank you, Auntie,” Shen Ye smiled.

    She looked at the other few seats and saw several middle-aged men with lecherous expressions looking over.

    “My parents told me not to drink water from strangers,” she continued.

    “It’s fine, Auntie is just worried you’re thirsty. Come on, drink it first.” The woman insisted on handing over the drink bottle.

    The little girl hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out her hand.

    Just as the woman smiled, the little girl directly opened the drink cap, pressed one hand on the woman’s head, and with the other hand, shoved the drink into her mouth.

    “My parents taught me to respect the old and care for the young. You look so old, you must drink first before I can.”

    No matter how much the woman struggled, the drink was poured down.

    The other few people around suddenly stood up and shouted at Shen Ye.

    The speeding bus suddenly began to sway.

    Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump—

    Figures crashed through the windows, were flung out, and landed far away in the mountain forest outside the highway.

    The bus braked urgently, flashing its hazard lights, and came to a stop.

    Boom—

    The bus door was kicked open with immense force.

    The little girl grabbed the woman’s hair and dragged her out of the bus.

    “Auntie, why are you so sleepy?”

    She stared at the other party with curiosity.

    The middle-aged woman’s face showed fear, but the effects of the drug had already set in, making her feel incredibly drowsy.

    The little girl continued:

    “Auntie is so skilled at this, I wonder how many children’s lives she has ruined. I’ll just reluctantly help Auntie find some relief.”

    She grabbed the woman’s hair with one hand and drew her long saber with the other.

    A slash.

    The headless body twitched for a moment, then stopped moving.

    Blood splattered on the little girl’s skirt, but she paid no mind, holding the severed head and looking at the void.

    Another little girl appeared in mid-air, looking down at her.

    Their eyes met.

    “You didn’t suffer the pain,” the other said.

    “Of course, I’m only here to bear these memories, not to bear the pain—just as I’ve already killed all the bad guys in the institute,” Shen Ye said.
