Chapter 1610: NO．224：Beast King：Can you bear someone else

NO．224：Beast King：Can you bear someone else's life? （x

"You look quite relaxed."

"Gu Lan Ji Nie Er Ju Yuan Theater, stage: Nightmare Tiresias."

【Maintenance time 18:34S, exploration degree 45%, stage progress 76%】

"More or less, the stage still operates in theater mode, just like a game, allowing each audience member therein to call up the UI, including the overseer Aomo Lindun entrusted with important duties by the stage's designers."

【Carnival module: activated】

【Frenzied Hunt module: activating】

【Fantasy Creation module: defeated】

【Reality Augmentation module: cooldown】

【Wealth Skew: activated】

【Desire Acknowledgement: triggered】

……

"Obviously, the UI visible to the overseer is still somewhat different from that of other guests."

"At least the various designs underneath are within his sole visible scope, like the backend of a sandbox world's design, listing various important variables, but……"

"No interaction permission."

"This isn't really strange; after all, with the control room operating normally, overseers who step onto the stage tend to seem somewhat superfluous."

"Only as the client's representative can one be granted this monitoring permission by the theater."

"On one hand, to give face; on the other, to ensure the stage equipment operates normally, restraining his possible mischief, so they didn't additionally grant him direct interference permission."

"Aomo also had no complaints about this handling, after all he didn't expect to toggle those mods like a light switch, nor did he intend to interfere with the mental states of the trainers, the horse girls, and their friends and family."

"Although he has multiple motives for doing one thing, they aren't numerous enough to involve handling dozens of people at once."

"When the ultimate goal—resolving Ludaofu's issue—is achieved, the remaining meaning of this stage should be pure will training."

"Thus he came here, to the Beast King who is more like an overseer than he is."

"Standing at the highest point of the rear mountain overlooking the entire stage, his fingers moved across the operation of those modules; the multitasking puppet bird again went about various places, checking the conditions of Bai Ren, Aizhi, Bo Peng, Qianming, as well as Suzi, Mi Yu, Chazuo, Senlinbaoxue, and their classmates."

"Can only say it was completely as expected."

"Although more than ten minutes have passed, besides Bo Peng and Qianming, whom I myself interfered with, having already stabilized and hardly affected by the ongoing background music, everyone else remains each in the 【Desire Acknowledgement】 state, seeking a way to calm their own desires."

"Even though Aizhi has been completely suppressed by Bai Ren, having returned to horse-girl form and bound by him, she is only superficially calm."

"When apologizing, the corner of her eye would occasionally glance toward the pipa morning light, causing Bai Ren, holding a polymeric fiber rope he'd found somewhere, to tie her even tighter."

"Even… even in the eyes of the puppet Margabasa, they are covered by Aomo's permission, able to see the lingering dark red BUFF on Aimu Zhiji's head, which is pure ironclad evidence."

"This also made Aomo's gaze especially speechless, feeling that among the group that would have no face to meet people after leaving the theater, Aimu Zhiji would likely be at the forefront."

"But it was precisely this gaze of his looking at the screen that, at this moment, welcomed the Beast King's opening remark."

"Looks quite relaxed?"

"\"Where do you see that I'm relaxed? \""

"Swiftly pulling out the selfie screen, glancing at it then crossing it out, Aomo's gaze became even more speechless as he looked toward the figure beside him who always kept his back straight, planted his sword, and adopted a posture of overlooking everything, with even a faint frost condensing on his armor, making him an armor-clad."

"Such dedication really would earn likes from whatever Lich King, Vergil, Arthur King, and the like; it even makes the originally not-cold Aomo feel cold, and I'd like to suggest he move a bit to shake off those ice spikes on his armor."

"But the Beast King has the talent to make people discard the advice they keep in their hearts with just a single sentence."

"He said: \"After successfully binding those two girls' selves, you let out a sigh of relief, right? \""

"\"Ha…\""

"Aomo sighed, at those odd words, and also at the thought that immediately came to mind about himself."

"Although I want to say that I used to speak like that in the past, upon further thought I realize I still do now."

"——It's only when one has something to ask that one becomes a bit polite; but when it comes to certain observation targets, certain conversation goals… I also can't come up with this utterly tactless remark."

"In that case, isn't this just karmic retribution?"

"His sigh grew even heavier."

"\"Really, after seeing Morrison, you have no manners at all; at least do some decoration? \""

"\"Isn't that so? You should be clear about what you're doing. \""

"The Beast King remained obstinate, even more so justified and confident."

"\"How long can a personality cobbled together from scraps last? \""

"\"After leaving this domain that draws her self, she should fall into personality collapse and enter intermittent dormancy. \""

"\"Don't underestimate the medicine here; as long as there's a trace left, it can be reweaved, and both the tuner and the personality restoration department have their own methods. \""

"\"Then, after they fix it, what should be done with the original personality? \" the Beast King asked."

"\"Are you saying that the hollow thing isn't a personality and should just be erased directly? \""

"\"Of course not; that's part of the Ludaofu Xiangzheng, and how to handle it depends on… Luna herself. \""

"He still isn't used to this overly intimate nickname, even though the other party, unusually shy yet brave, insists he use it; but precisely because the other party persists in that demeanor… every time he utters that nickname, he can't help but recall the image of being possessed by some shy girl."

"Thus the horse girl, suspected of having a dual soul down below, gains yet another one; as a fan, as a crystal element retransmitter, she will likely never forget it in her lifetime (x)."

"\"That's said to be so, but you can guess that it's likely coexistence. \""

"\"What do you want to say? \""

"Aomo turned his head to look at him; the other party's view was watching Suzi and Chazuo, who had already turned into a formal race, while Senlinbaoxue hummed, joining the bustle of the run."

"Although without my interference, the conflicts developing all over this stage are somewhat overly slow, truly lacking efficiency, but at least most are still progressing toward positive development."

"Even if it's headed in a negative direction, it still counts as revealing what each has buried in their hearts, which is far better than letting them run cluelessly—of course, this is from Aomo's own standpoint."

"For a demon who, in many aspects, shows little restraint and is indiscriminate in choosing means, there's a way to handle any problem—but if we were to switch to the horse girls' own trainers…"

Although Aomo thought that since one dared to sign up, they should have some awareness, but if there really is someone who harbors a secret that cannot be spoken of and still comes here to look for trouble… that's pretty cool, being able to get into the central area and still have a hopeful‑luck mindset, seeing how strong that person's will to survive is and how good their luck is.

——Because the advertisement for his counseling room has always relied on word‑of‑mouth, if the other party can remember to come find him, he doesn't mind pointing out a clear path.

"I want to say… do you think you can so easily intervene and influence those people's lives?"
