Chapter 119

~6 min read 1,047 words

Don't know how long passed, when she came before the spiral sword knight again, Black Swan had mixed feelings.

She dared to say that in her life, the battles she had personally experienced might not be as many as this one.

It almost cost her her old life.

At the same time.

She also realized what was going on with that female voice and the NPCs.

Masked Fools!

Those NPCs were all played by Masked Fools.

After reaching this conclusion, Black Swan felt some unease, or rather, shock.

Because she was clear on how difficult Masked Fools were to deal with.

It could be said that the type of people she least wanted to deal with were these kinds of people.

And listening to that Masked Fool, it seemed she had been trapped for a long time, and didn't even dare to say who the owner of this place was.

What kind of means could make a Masked Fool like this?

Black Swan couldn't figure it out.

But she didn't have time to think anymore.

Because that spiral sword knight had already rushed up with the sword, faster than in the first playthrough!

Fortunately, having gone through all the thorns and thistles, Black Swan was no longer the same as before.

Now.

She had rich combat experience.

Finally, she defeated the enemy without any danger.

Similarly.

The flame rose.

It's just that this time, after holding the flame, no information about starting a "third playthrough" appeared.

If there really was one, Black Swan felt she might collapse.

This time, it was replaced by a list, looking very much like the credits rolling after a movie.

【Spark as Fire Keeper】

【Spark as Ash Granny】

【Spark as Blacksmith】

【Spark as Onion Knight】

【Script: Wonders in the Forest】

【Action Director: Wonders in the Forest】

【Monster Design: Wonders in the Forest】

Black Swan patiently finished reading, but what she thought in her heart was that her previous idea was even more confirmed.

Sure enough, all the "NPCs" were played by one person.

So...

What was the background of this "Wonders in the Forest"?

To be able to order a Masked Fool to do things?

Black Swan had previously thought of "collective memory," but now it clearly wasn't.

This dream space had an owner!

And if there were no accidents, after "clearing" it completely, she should be able to see this initiator.

Sure enough.

After the credits finished rolling, the whole world turned pitch black, and when it lit up again, Black Swan found herself in the sky.

To be precise, on a floating island in the sky.

Before Black Swan could look around carefully, a young man in casual clothes walked out of a house on the floating island.

Before this young man could speak, Black Swan had already exclaimed.

"You are Lin Qi?"

"That new member of the Genius Society?"

Hearing Black Swan's words, Lin Qi didn't have much of a reaction, only replying, "I have quite a few titles, but it seems that in the eyes of a Memokeeper, the title of Genius Society member is the most important?"

At this moment.

Black Swan's heart could no longer be calm.

She naturally knew Lin Qi's other titles, such as Star System Destroyer, Emanator of Destruction, etc.

But what truly made her wary was undoubtedly the title of Genius Society member.

The reason was very simple.

Other titles were nothing more than having strong destructive power and high combat power.

These generally couldn't target Memokeepers.

But Society members were different; who knew what research results they could come up with that would involve the realm of Memokeepers?

Clearly.

This dream space was the result.

Making Black Swan suffer a big loss.

Black Swan was still thinking when Lin Qi spoke again.

"Although it was a bit unkind of me to lock you here and force you to play games, wasn't it also a bit impolite of you to barge in here without notifying me?"

"So on this point, let's call it even."

Black Swan knew she was in the wrong and didn't defend herself.

Just asked.

"Mr. Lin Qi, since we're even, then it should be reasonable for me to want to leave here now, right?"

"Reasonable."

Lin Qi nodded.

But the next moment, his tone changed, and he said coldly, "If I hadn't sensed it in advance, the secrets here, and even my memories, could have been peeped at by you! You returning empty-handed is just because your skills are inferior to others! Otherwise, if you had turned my memories upside down, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark! So, you have to leave something behind too!"

After Black Swan heard this, she felt terrible.

She was a Memokeeper; wouldn't it be normal for her to quietly take away other people's memories?

Why, listening to Lin Qi's tone, did she have to leave some memories behind too?

That's not right.

Am I the Memokeeper, or are you the Memokeeper?

At this moment.

Black Swan was in a mess.

69. Spark: You're even more Elation than me! Why not become a Masked Fool?

Memokeepers have no physical bodies and survive in the form of memes; under normal circumstances, there is nothing that can trap them.

Black Swan had indeed rarely encountered crises over so many years.

But this time, it really left her at a loss.

The key was that the man in front of her wasn't easy to deal with and couldn't be fooled at all.

However, she still patiently asked in a deep voice.

"Then what do you want to get from a Memokeeper?"

Lin Qi didn't beat around the bush and answered directly, "I want everything about Light Cones, including the production methods."

"That's impossible!"

Black Swan exclaimed, refusing without even thinking.

Light Cones are the core technology of the Garden of Recollection; let alone the production methods, even finding one is not an easy task for outsiders.

Moreover...

"Light Cones can only be produced by Memokeepers. Does Dr. Lin Qi also want to abandon his physical body?" Black Swan's pretty face put on a smile again, "If Dr. Lin Qi also wants to become a Memokeeper, I can recommend you; I believe the Garden of Recollection would very much welcome the Doctor's joining."
