Chapter 66: Genius Girl Irina, Crash Landing
As Sumu hurriedly woke from the dream, removing the device just as she was about to choke Tang Nai, she realized that her companion was only fooling with her.
“But I see your emotional fluctuations are quite strong. Did you have a similar experience?”
“None of your business.”
“Come on, share it. It would help us take better care of you in the future.”
Seeing Tang Nai with a look that screamed ‘I won’t let go until you spill’, Sumu sighed helplessly and muttered:
“Although I haven’t had such a terrible experience, I do have a similarly troublesome mom.”
“Oh, I see, so Sumu is the type that needs care? I’ll make sure to look after you from now on.”
“Forget about that!”
Reflecting on what she had just gained from the dream, Sumu felt a bit melancholic.
She wasn’t sure whether she should tell Luo Jialan about it; it was really some heavy content, and it felt a bit out of place coming from her.
“What you just saw hardly counts as Ning Xi’s dream. The entire structure of the Layer Two dream belongs to Luo Linglan. It’s actually quite unreasonable, don’t you think?”
“How would I know? I’m almost completely clueless about dreams.”
Sumu pouted. She had to admit that her understanding of dreams, having only dived in a few times, was at a novice level.
“The two memories you just watched share a common characteristic. You’ve noticed that much, right?”
“That’s true, they are all about her father, aren’t they?”
“Well, that’s part of it, but the focus isn’t there. In dreams, emotions carried by the character are more important than the character themselves, and in these two experiences, she exhibits the same extremely strong emotion—hatred.”
Sumu nodded in a way that indicated she somewhat understood, then suddenly slapped her forehead.
“I think I get it.”
“What did you understand? Share it with me.”
Tang Nai raised an eyebrow, immediately sensing that Sumu had missed the key point but still wanted to hear what Sumu would come up with.
It was like listening to a kindergarten kid describe their wild imagination.
“This Ning Xi contains the part of Luo Linglan that has turned dark, so the other Ning Xi experiment subjects can function normally, but she rebelled strongly and escaped.”
As expected, our little Sumu friend had only voiced some nonsensical statements.
“Then let me ask you, Luo Linglan was always by Xiao Lando’s side before her fall, so why was she absent in the memories just now?”
“Ah…”
“Sumu, unfortunately, you didn’t earn a sticker for that answer, but I will still take good care of you.”
Don’t treat me like a kindergarten kid!
Sumu puffed out her cheeks and said angrily:
“Then what do you think it is?”
“If I’m not mistaken, Luo Linglan’s memories are split according to the main emotions like joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, disgust, and desire.
Each emotion’s corresponding memory should be split into a separate experiment subject, and the reason No. 6 Ning Xi went out of control is largely because someone meddled— they crammed both malice and desire into one experiment subject, resulting in her power exceeding expectations.”
Upon hearing this, Sumu’s brain finally began to follow the logic of Tang Nai’s train of thought.
“That makes some sense, right, right? Wait, is that right?”
Her left brain and right brain began to clash.
“Any doubts?”
“I remember there is also a No. 0 Ning Xi, right? The Ning Ling you used to mess with me; what about her situation?”
Hearing Sumu’s confusion, Tang Nai lowered her voice mysteriously.
“Who knows about that? But there seems to be another important character who hasn’t appeared in this incident, right?”
————————————
After Mi Xian handed over the information about Moti Si to Edema, the authoritative blonde loli rarely raised her dark brows, showing a hint of confusion.
“Where did you get this? Even I find the magical girl’s secrecy measures quite tricky.”
Mi Xian cautiously examined Edema’s expression, contemplating how she should fabricate a story.
The other party was completely immersed in the soft embrace of the big sister beneath her, surely she wouldn’t be interested in her anymore, right? It should be fine to withhold some details.
“The magical girls told me themselves. It seems that the one named Moti Si is very much looking forward to your revenge.”
“Is that so? I’m looking forward to it too; I hope she has prepared well.”
A hint of inexplicable excitement flashed in Edema’s eyes, making Mi Xian inwardly scoff.
This doesn’t seem like someone gearing up for a fight at all.
But Edema was indeed planning to defeat Moti Si and reclaim everything that belonged to her.
Once I pin that woman down, I’ll slowly consider what to do next.
I hope her place is a bit spacious.
“Does she think she already has me figured out? Ridiculous, she has no idea how strong I am now that I grasp two concepts.”
The arrogance of the dragon slowly spread through Edema’s not-so-sturdy loli body, her cute appearance causing the big sister beneath her to giggle, gently stroking her head.
And the imperious Queen Edema, closed her eyes obediently, enjoying the affection of the big sister, looking like her heart had completely transformed into that of a little loli.
Seeing all this, Mi Xian couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Is this the consequence of a monster’s core being severely tainted?
I, Mi Xian, must not follow in her footsteps!
Just when Mi Xian thought she had accomplished her task, Edema’s voice suddenly rang in her ears with a powerful sense of pressure.
“By the way, every time an important topic comes up lately, you seem to get an urgent need to go. That’s not good, Mi Xian. You know, I used to be very fond of you. I’m glad you weren’t lying just now, so please continue to be loyal.”
This remark pierced deeply into Mi Xian’s ears like a sharp needle, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Things felt ominous.
So she has sensed something’s off, after all?
I see so many monster executives needing the bathroom; why are they fine? Indeed, this guy has taken an interest in me!
“Okay, I’ll make sure to resolve it in advance next time.”
Mi Xian mumbled her way out, while Edema slowly opened her lazy dragon eyes, firmly locking onto Mi Xian’s slender back.
After my revenge is over, I might regain some of my previous interests. Miss Mi Xian, I hope you can read the room.
On a particularly heated night in a café.
“Wooden Mouse, I’m here again! Don’t work today; come play video games with me. I’ve found a really good game recently!”
Ye Wanjing excitedly carried a box of clattering items to the sofa area, heavily sitting down next to Sumu, startling the poor Shushu so much that the handheld game console flew out of their hands.
And with that fly, some unpleasant things were left on.
“Hey, hey, I think I just saw some nice things. Why were you hiding them from me?”
Sumu was flustered as she called back the game console, laughing awkwardly.
“Nothing, I’ve just been lacking inspiration lately, taking a little material.”
