Chapter 238

The video continues.

【Life is like a long investment—choose the right people, do the right things, reach the right outcome, and show the world your worth.】

【A person can't make the correct decision their whole life, but good luck has always been on my side.】

【I've never lost.】

【Is it because the Mother Goddess is blessing me?】

【If so, then she must be watching me at this very moment.】

【I will definitely achieve success.】

【.... But then what?】

【If I successfully get through this hurdle, what comes next?】

【After one grand gamble, what awaits me is.....】

【Another, even grander gamble?】

【Is it returning home laden with countless chips after success after success, or after one failure......】

【.... never to return?】

【......】

【Hahaha, surely you know the answer in your heart.......】

【..... A lowly gambler?】

【......】

Xiangling: "This part is Aventurine's inner monologue, right?"

Xiangling: "But what's with that voice at the end?"

Stelle: "Good lord, sounds like a split personality!"

Stelle: "Could it be.... that the curse is starting to act up?"

Hu Tao: "Is the curse Mr. Sunday cast really that sinister?"

Hu Tao: "What kind of technique is this exactly?"

March 7th: "No idea, but it doesn't look like a good one."

Nahida: "Mr. Aventurine's heartfelt words here seem to give me a feeling of confusion and exhaustion."

Nahida: "Am I mistaken in my feelings?"

Zhong Li: "No, your feelings are not off in the slightest."

Zhong Li: "Mr. Aventurine is indeed confused at this moment."

Zhong Li: "And this may be because the power of Harmony has begun to affect his mind."

Zhong Li: "Or perhaps Mr. Aventurine he...."

Zhong Li: "Is truly tired..."

Venti: "Feels like both factors are at play."

Venti: "Mr. Aventurine's situation is looking worse and worse."

The video continues.

【What's going on?!】

Aventurine heard that strange voice in his mind,

and his expression suddenly changed.

【Hee hee hee hee...】

Suddenly,

a mysterious laughter rang out behind Aventurine.

【Am I dreaming, or have I completely lost my mind?】

Aventurine hurriedly turned around,

and saw another version of himself appear before him.

【Perhaps both.】

【Already forgotten about me?】

【When you were tied to the electric chair by the warlord of Iyamani Ka, whose idea was it that saved you?】

The other Aventurine said playfully, opening his mouth.

【Alright.... I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.】

【Get out of my head, newborn of Harmony.】

Aventurine immediately reacted,

realizing that the Aventurine before his eyes

was something birthed by the power of Harmony.

【Heh, Harmony?】

【Don't be silly, this isn't our first meeting—no need to be so distant, right?】

【I am you. I even understand you better than you do, and know exactly what you truly want.】

【You're about to die, and on the brink of death you still want to drag a few unlucky souls along with you...】

【That's why you came here, isn't it?】

【.... The grand unveiling performance—do you really think you can pull it off?】

The tone of Harmony Aventurine seemed mocking.

【Why not?】

A look of impatience crossed Topaz's face.

【Perhaps you can fool everyone, but you can never fool yourself.】

【I can prove it to you....】

【Before you vanish completely, I'll walk the last stretch of road with you....】

【We'll have ourselves a good long talk along the way.】

After the Harmony Topaz finished speaking,

she began walking ahead of Topaz.

【.... Damn it, what the hell are you?】

Topaz could not help but curse.

【Most people in this world spend their whole lives reaching for just one outcome....】

【And I am that outcome.】

【Kakavasha.... I am your future.】

Stelle: "Holy crap, what kind of trick is this?"

Stelle: "They just conjured up a whole new Topaz?"

Stelle: "Is she about to be possessed by the Harmony?"

Guinaifen: "Oh my, folks, why does this feel scarier than a ghost?!"

March 7th: "The Harmony.... does it recruit believers through tricks like this?"

March 7th: "This isn't even brainwashing at this point, is it?"

Brother Dan Heng: "A new self-awareness is born, seizing your body—that is possession!"

Topaz: "Tsk tsk tsk, didn't expect this, really didn't!"

Topaz: "Didn't expect that thing Sunday planted in my head really is a curse."

Topaz: "So this is what they call.... joining the family?"

Topaz: "Heh, how very interesting."

Paimon: "Oh heavens, this is absolutely terrifying!"

Paimon: "If Paimon ran into something like this, she'd probably have her soul scared right out of her!"

Lumine: "This method really is... eerie..."

Lumine: "From what we can see so far, there doesn't seem to be any way to undo it."

Hu Tao: "There has to be a way, right?"

Hu Tao: "At the very least, Mr. Sunday should be able to undo it."
