Moon Ring Snake: 【Since that's the case, Miss Dazhenhan, may I ask, do you have Miss Dongzi's contact information?】

Translate: Yuehuanshe: 【Since that's the case, Miss Dazhenhan, may I ask, do you have Miss Dongzi's contact information?】

We need to keep the brackets and quotes? The Chinese uses 【】 and 。 We'll keep as is but translate content. We'll output: 【1】 Yuehuanshe: 【Since that's the case, Miss Dazhenhan, may I ask, do you have Miss Dongzi's contact information?】

Note: "Miss Dongzi" -> Miss Dongzi. "Dongzi" is a name? Could be a nickname; but we don't have glossary. We'll treat as name: pinyin "Dongzi". So Miss Dongzi.

Dazhenhan: 【……I don't know…】

Don't know?

We need to keep line as is: 【3】 Don't know?

Moon Ring Snake: 【I understand, indeed many deceased believe that since they have passed, they should erase everything from their former lives and focus on the next life or simply sink into eternal sleep.

Yuehuanshe: 【I understand, indeed many deceased believe that since they have passed, they should erase everything from their former life and focus on the next life, or simply sink into eternal sleep.】

Note: line ends with a Chinese comma? Actually original: "Focus on the next life or simply sink into eternal sleep." We'll translate.

Perhaps that person is just like that.】

We need to keep the closing bracket after the sentence. So line 5: Yuehuanshe: 【Perhaps that person is just like that.】

But note the original line 5: "Perhaps that person is just like that."】

Thus 【5】 Yuehuanshe: 【Perhaps that person is just like that.】

This so-called next life can either be a reincarnation service or simply an electronic world.

There will be those unwilling to give up their memories, becoming a 'reborn' person, and there will be those who insist on forgetting their memories, becoming a 'newborn' person.

There will be those unwilling to give up their memories, becoming 'reborn ones', and there will be those who insist on forgetting their memories, becoming 'newborn ones'.

There will be those unwilling to give up their memories, becoming a 'reborn', and there will be those who insist on forgetting their memories, becoming a 'newborn'.

There will be those unwilling to give up their memories, becoming a 'reborn' person, and there will be those who insist on forgetting their memories, becoming a 'newborn' person.

Dazhenhan: 【This is indeed possibly her style.】

Dazhenhan: 【That indeed could be her style.】

Moon Ring Snake: 【Sorry for asking these private questions, but I'm still busy here, I'll have to go, Miss Dazhenhan】

Yuehuanshe: 【Sorry for asking these personal questions, but I'm still busy here, so I'll have to go, Miss Dazhenhan.】

I'll have to go.

Dazhenhan: 【Ah, it's fine, Trainer Lin Dun won't spread these, right?】

Moon Ring Snake: 【Of course, it won't be worse than the withered tree hole in the junior high forest.】

Yuehuanshe: 【Of course, it won't be worse than the withered tree hole in the forest of the junior high section.】

Dazhenhan: 【It sounds like I've been allowed by Trainer Lin Dun to vent my worries, horse girl smiling face. jpg】

It sounds like I've been allowed by Trainer Lin Dun to vent my worries, horse girl smiling face. jpg

For her, compared to speaking, text is more stiff and mechanical. Meipu Bo Fang's messages have this problem, and it naturally hinders her social circle.

For her, compared to speaking, what is more stiff and mechanical is text. Meipu Bo Fang's messages have this problem, and naturally hinder her online social circle.

Meipu Bo Fang's messages.

Thus: For her, compared to speaking, what is more stiff and mechanical is text. Meipu Bo Fang's messages have this problem, and naturally hinder her online social circle.

Reflecting on the fact that the two JKs under me send messages without this kind of youthful stuff, but college student Dazhenhan actually uses it.

Reflecting that her two junior high subordinates' messages don't carry this kind of youthful thing, whereas college student Dazhenhan does use it.

Why not simply order Bo Fang to send messages with emojis? Maybe that could actually solve her problem in online negotiations.

Or simply order Bo Fang to send messages with emojis; maybe that could actually solve her problem in online negotiations.

For her, compared to speaking, text is more stiff and mechanical. Meipu Bo Fang's messages have this problem, and it naturally hinders her social circle.

For her, text is stiffer and more mechanical than speaking; Meipu Bo Fang's messaging suffers from this issue, which naturally hinders her social interactions.

However, everything has pros and cons; her speaking style has been favored by some AIs, and Meipu Bo Fang even has three strong AI netizens.

However, everything has pros and cons; her speaking style has even garnered favor from some AIs, and Meipu Bo Fang even has three strong AI netizens.

Three!

If only I knew her real-life circle of friends only had two.

If I had known, her real-life social circle only has two close friends.

Roommate Xiano Hua and later-acquainted Mi Yu.

Her roommate Xiano Hua and later-acquainted Mi Yu.

Still, only after meeting Aomo did she get a doubling of expansion!

Only after meeting Aomo did her circle double in size!

Jade Algae Cross, Ailisuzhi, Mancheng Tea House, and of course Aomo too—that's the doubling, although it still doesn't fill a single line of the phone list.

However, correcting the notion of cyber horse girls is a heavy task; let's talk about it later. Aomo's reflection ended very quickly, even skipping Ailisuzhi's problem.

However, correcting the conceptual issues of the cyber horse girl is a tall order; let's discuss it later. Aomo's reflection ended very quickly, and he even skipped the issue with Ailisuzhi.

Cyber horse girl Ailisuzhi.

After all, there's no solution to be found.

After all, there's no solution to be had.

Still, we need to focus on the present.

We still need to focus on the present.

Moon Ring Snake: 【If it's the academic worries unique to mental-system students, please bear with me; I've already had too much of them.】

Yuehuanshe: 【If it's the particular academic worries of a mental‑system student, please spare me—I've already tasted too much of them.】

As a mental-system student, I've already tasted too much of them.

Several chat groups I've joined have this kind of complaints from professional college students, and whenever a group mate picks up the topic, it forces Aomo to learn a lot of the common troubles of mental-system students.

Dazhenhan: 【Of course not, actually it's also a joke

Then I won't disturb you anymore, goodbye, Trainer Lin Dun.

【Goodbye, Miss Dazhenhan】

Which sentence is the joke? Is it "Of course not", or is it finding a topic to heal? After saying goodbye, Aomo didn't rush to exit the chat box, but instead swiped up the chat history.

That brief smile also gradually faded.

Giving a somewhat reliable reason to end the topic, because the reason matches the personality description of 'Dongzi Zhenzi' in the data, it also carries some persuasiveness.

But this persuasiveness holds only if that trainer is consistent inside and out, or if Dazhenhan's understanding of her is not deep.

If a video call were opened, perhaps her microexpressions could confirm the latter, but not opening it better matches their distance, allowing more leeway in communication.

"No contact information…"

"I don't know the contact method..."

We need to keep quotes. So: "I don't know the contact method..."

Looking at the record makes it easy to see that short line again, just like seeing the line 'She is also a mental-system student', which makes him feel the forest temperature is overly damp.

He hasn't yet reached the point of making up a reason on the spot and deceiving himself.

He hasn't yet reached the point where he can casually make up an excuse and fool himself.

But he has no evidence, just suspicion, a suspicion based on unease.

But he has no evidence, only a suspicion, a suspicion based on unease.

He isn't even clear whether this

He isn't even clear whether this unease stems from spiritual perception or from his own habit.

Being cautious and suspicious, when idle, only adds a pointless drain on oneself.

The habit of being cautious and suspicious, when there's nothing going on, merely adds a pointless drain on himself.

He suspects, first of all, that the trainer is 'alive', because in this world, being declared dead does not mean true death.

Moreover, according to contemporary medicine, this kind of 'declared death' is also not easy to come by.

Either you have encountered a rare case similar to an 'otherworldly disease' that modern medicine missed, or your situation is special, bearing some ailment yet never able to reach a clinic, hospital, or even medical emergency services…

Either you've encountered a rare case similar to an 'otherworldly disease' that modern medicine missed, or your situation is special, bearing some ailment yet never able to reach a clinic, hospital, or even medical emergency services…

Or perhaps it's simply avoiding illness and shunning doctors, shouting something like 'The ruler has no ailment'.

That trainer developed lung cancer with complications, and she also experienced a car accident; she really has all the death factors, looks quite reasonable… damn it!

That trainer suffered a lung cancer attack with simultaneous complications, and she also experienced a car accident beforehand—indeed she was loaded with death factors, looks pretty reasonable… damn it!

We need to keep the exclamation and the ellipsis. So: That trainer suffered a lung cancer attack with simultaneous complications, and she also experienced a car accident beforehand—indeed she was loaded with death factors, looks pretty reasonable… damn it!

Mid-stage lung cancer, the trainer's benefits include annual physical exams; it's impossible not to be detected.

Mid‑stage lung cancer, the trainer's benefits include annual physical exams—it's impossible not to have been detected.

What would be the reason for not dealing with it all this time?

What would be the reason for never treating it?

Most of the material in the Tereisen archive room is competition-related and the trainers' personal files; these records do not involve answers to such privacy issues.

Most of the material in the Treason archive room is competition‑related and the trainers' personal files; these records do not involve answers to such privacy issues.

We keep the place name as "Tereisen archive room", using pinyin for the proper noun.

Most of the material in the Tereisen archive room is competition‑related and the trainers' personal files; these records do not involve answers to such privacy issues.

It would be fine if someone had directly asked her in an interview, but before the incident, it seems no one knew about her health issues.

If someone had directly interviewed her about it, that would have been fine, but before the incident, it seems no one knew about her physical condition.

Even before her 'death', she could leave astonishingly effective hints; hiding something from acquaintances would not be difficult either.

When organizing information before, I never paid attention to others' oddities and secrets, after all, who could truly have no secrets?

When organizing information before, I never paid attention to their oddities and secrets, after all, who could truly have no secrets?

But now, as she suddenly stood there, Aomo once again

But now, as she suddenly stood there, Aomo once again knocked open Zhouri Ningjing's message box.

Do you have time to consider a new approach?

【Do you have time to consider a new approach?】

Zhouri Ningjing: I'm flipping through the missing persons list—if you have something to say, say it quickly!

Zhouri Ningjing: 【I'm flipping through the missing persons list—speak up if you have something!】

Not bad, the action is really fast; indeed, Ren is truly more adept at spirit body roaming than in the flesh.

Not bad, the action is really fast; indeed, the spirit body roams more adeptly than the flesh.

Aomo, somewhat at a loss, gazed at the mountain trail and resumed walking.

Aomo was somewhat speechless, looking toward the mountain path as he stepped forward again.

As he walked, he sorted his thoughts, and while doing so, he tapped the light screen.

While walking, he organized his thoughts; while organizing, he tapped the light screen.

Senior trainer, Dongzi Zhenzi

【Senior trainer, Dongzi Zhenzi

We need to keep the opening bracket. So: 【Senior trainer, Dongzi Zhenzi

1. Strange death, unknown destination of the soul

2. Even a psychic sublimator's death cannot void the guarantee that their hinted magic persists for nearly half a year before a psychic college student notices and dispels it, yet Dazhenhan still seems to retain such hints, never having wavered in its course.

3. In Dazhenhan's research on the manor's monsters, she gave the early guidance.

Chengtian Bairen's shadow, the demons in the mansion, the negative-energy monsters—their essence is all the same thing; that trainer had already been exposed to this research in life and was quite familiar with Dazhenhan.

After a series of text inputs were finished. After clicking send, Aomo focused on going up the mountain, and after stepping onto the much more stable steps, Zhouri Ningjing's reply finally came.

【Just this? You start doubting a dead person?】

Yuehuanshe: 【It's not necessarily dead, and even if it really is dead, you should be clearer about what a spirit can do, right?】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【I'm saying you actually doubt a senior who shares the same cause and has no criminal record at all!】

Yuehuanshe: 【It sounds like you've also investigated her, or perhaps you know her】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【I have Dazhenhan's data on hand! I finished reading it three minutes ago, and of course it includes her trainer!】

】

Can you use fewer exclamation marks? It's noisy to look at… Aomo sighed helplessly and continued forward toward the upper steps.

Yuehuanshe: 【So it's just a line of thought—the monsters controlled by those two gangs are the foundation of Miss Dazhenhan's negative energy, and I'm wondering what kind of person could achieve this】

How could ta produce the negative-energy mindset of Miss Dazhenhan from back then? It's clear that even Miss Dazhenhan herself never achieved that.

Did ta already back then research and record Miss Dazhenhan's condition?

Or did ta directly use some means at the venue to copy and separate that negative-energy sample?】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【So you directly suspect a fallen senior?】

Yuehuanshe: 【You can also ignore what I'm saying, by the way, what do you think of Qianming as a representative?】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【An annoying guy, she's looking for you again?】

Yuehuanshe: 【Hard to say, how about we bring the topic back?】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【Bring it back? 【Anmei district profanity】, you really can find work for me!】

Yuehuanshe: 【Please be ladylike】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【You really can find work for me!】

Yuehuanshe: 【The direction is wrong, but think about it—you originally hired me just to find a guardian for Chazuo classmate; now don't you feel it's worth more than what you paid?】

Zhouri Ningjing: 【You are indeed more useful than I imagined, but you haven't even looked at Chazuo—let alone getting a raise, I want to deduct your pay!】

Yuehuanshe: 【That's not how to put it—now the case has been pushed here, Chazuo classmate couldn't possibly be involved, unless something goes wrong on your end.】

——Your message failed to send; the other party refused to receive your message——

"……What a fellow."

At least it's not deleting friends, but no matter how you think it's too much; with such a temper, maybe after checking the roster and comparing data, blood pressure spikes.

Hmm, I'm not as good at this…

The mirror is still not perfect enough.

Aomo thought to himself. Although being yelled at like this gives a subtle feeling of being treated like an acquaintance-friend, considering the other party is a committee member, it also feels like being given a cold face by a bureaucratic client.

Indeed, Chazuo is still nice, and I really miss that rich coffee—thinking this, he stepped over the top step.

"Could it be that green tea just won't do?"

Someone suddenly asked, also prompting Aomo to instinctively reply:

"What kind of tea is your green tea?"

"I'd rather ask what tea you're thinking of!" The long‑absent purple‑haired goddess Darialarab, this time without posing, simply looked displeased.

"So the goddess can read minds now—is it a divine realm buff upgrade?"

"You're still this rude." The goddess this time unexpectedly had little aggression, merely giving him a sideways glance, which could be taken as tacit acceptance.

This also let Aomo glance at this shrine, noticing some traces of new activity.

"Hochdorf and Bayer came before." Darialarab's frankness confirmed the fact as expected.

The divine realm's blessings upon gods, and the realm itself upgrading as the number and quality of inner deities increase, are no secret.

Even the give‑away exam papers for unspecialized middle school could bring up this kind of common‑sense multiple‑choice question.

It makes the gods lose any sense of mystery, and every year some deities curse about it.

"Think about why you came; while this state lasts, I can also send you off early."

"……" Really, just like last time's bluntness, it leaves Aomo somewhat speechless, yet he does as told.

"You want to report this kind of Category: Term about sending away protective charms? You've been thinking about it for days? Last time I didn't see you were such a top‑tier idiot—since I gave it to you, it's yours, and what you do with it is your business."

"However, that horse girl named Chengtian Bairen—her shadow does indeed exist within our permission. So? Is it necessary for us to intervene in something a horse girl can handle herself?"

"Of course, any gangs or companies using horse girls must be severely punished, so you'd better work hard!"

"? What? You're not investigating, are you? Put in some effort so I can see Thus we output: Thus we output: QiuChuan's perspective. You are a trainer, right?"
