111: save0 A New Beginning
Lu Lele was not a sentimental or indecisive person. The moment she made her decision, she had already steeled her resolve to save the Liu Lili of the Reality Domain. She absolutely could not allow the love story between herself and Liu Lili to be tampered with by the world.
However, Lu Lele also vaguely felt that the Strange God was not as candid or simple as she appeared on the surface.
To make her agree to continue playing the yandere, the Strange God must have done something, and these actions now seemed to reveal some clues.
The Strange God had slipped up obviously. Lu Lele had clearly lived until she was over eighty in the True Perfect Ending before dying peacefully of old age. She had lived enough and certainly could not possess such high enthusiasm for saving the Liu Lili of the Reality Domain.
But now, Lu Lele discovered that she had become full of fighting spirit once again, just like a young person, her mindset returning to the state of her youth.
Just as the Strange God still called her "Little Sister Lu Lele," Lu Lele's consciousness had unknowingly reverted to how it was in the past, no longer gloomy and dull, but glowing with new life.
This change was very obvious. When Lu Lele first returned, her mind was filled only with thoughts of ending everything as soon as possible, but now she had already begun to unconsciously look forward to the next world.
This indicated that upon returning to this Pure White Space, the Strange God seemed to have used some method to make Lu Lele's soul body feel as if it had regained youth, becoming vibrant and energetic again. Naturally, her subconscious would not tend to choose the option of ending her life here.
However, discovering these little tricks of the Strange God did not affect Lu Lele's decision.
Even if the Strange God hadn't pulled these little tricks, she would still have chosen to defend the story between herself and Liu Lili. In her current state, she was actually even more suitable for continuing the yandere roleplay game.
Therefore, she did not intend to expose the Strange God's little ploy.
Lu Lele looked at the figure bowing deeply to her and could not help feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.
Not for any other reason, but because the figure before her, who called herself the God of Yandere, looked simply too similar to Liu Lili. Although their temperaments were vastly different, the charm in their brow and eyes was no different from Liu Lili's.
Lu Lele thus asked an extra question:
"Then, how should I address you in the future? Call you 'No. 7 Liu Lili'?"
[If you aren't used to it, you can continue to call me the Strange God.]
The voice of the God of Yandere returned to its former laziness, but her timbre was no longer the neutral and vague voice of the past, but rather a very sexy, mature sisterly tone:
[Little Sister Lu Lele, let's talk business now.]
[You have already used 'Possessive-Type' yandere means to conquer No. 1 Liu Lili and collected the first soul fragment.]
[Next, you can choose a type of yandere to play. Each yandere type corresponds to a different parallel world.]
[They are the Exclusion Type, the Dependent Type, the Aggressive Type, the Isolation Induction Type, and the Stalking Type. I have transmitted the relevant information to your brain. Choose one.]
"But this is only five types. Even if we add the previous Possessive Type, that's only six. Didn't you say there are seven types of yanderes?"
[Hehe, asking the obvious.]
The Strange God said:
[I won't tell you the last yandere type for now. The world corresponding to it belongs to my world. If you successfully collect the soul fragments of Liu Lili from all the other parallel worlds, then I can consider letting you come to my world to play an interesting conquest game with me too. However, this is not something you should be thinking about now.]
"Alright."
Lu Lele nodded slightly, then asked:
"Strange God, is there a recommended type? I have choice paralysis, and I'm too lazy to look through the information you gave me in my brain. Just say it directly. I know you definitely have a recommended option."
[There indeed is. I recommend you go play the 'Isolation Induction Type' yandere in the next world.]
The Strange God replied without hesitation:
[The reason is very simple. Playing this type of yandere requires brains. I believe it will be of some help to your future roleplay.]
"I seriously suspect you are hinting at something."
[That is definitely your illusion. Little Sister Lu Lele, didn't I say before that I would give you a reward for your courage? I can tell you the content now.]
"Oh, you only give the cheat code during the second game? You really are stingy."
[Don't overthink it. It's not the kind of cheat code you're imagining. Besides, being able to constantly reload and start over is already a heaven-defying cheat code. Please be content, Little Sister Lu Lele.]
"Fine, then tell me, what is the reward?"
[You can inherit one ability from yourself in Parallel World No. 1, such as eloquence, IQ, talent, and so on. This is also one of the few things I can interfere with.]
"If you have thought it through, tell me..."
"I want to inherit the painting ability." Lu Lele gave the answer before the Strange God could finish.
[As expected, it's that one. No problem.]
The Strange God's figure did not look surprised in the slightest. She nodded and said:
[Additionally, there is one more thing I need to tell you. I will help you temporarily 'hide' your emotions for No. 1 Liu Lili and the memories of being with her during the next game. As long as you don't deliberately recall them, you won't remember the story between you and No. 1 Liu Lili.]
[Of course, if you try hard to think, you can still remember. This is just to help you better conquer the Liu Lilis of other parallel worlds. There is no other meaning. When you return to this space, the concealment will automatically lift.]
"...Mm, I understand."
[Then, Little Sister Lu Lele, is there anything else you want to ask?]
"No more. Strange God, please send me to the next world."
[Very good, full of spirit. Then, good luck to you.]
...
...
Buzz...
Lu Lele's consciousness suddenly woke up, and she opened her eyes wide.
What met her eyes was a room full of English style. Whether it was the fireplace nearby that was roaring with fire and radiating heat, or the exquisite and antique hanging oil lamp falling from the ceiling, without exception, they all showed the uniqueness of this room.
Of course, this so-called uniqueness was in comparison to Lu Lele's past memories.
Endless memories flooded into Lu Lele's brain like a tide, causing her to frown slightly involuntarily.
"Miss, you... you spaced out."
A young girl's panicked voice came from beside her, carrying a trace of trembling.
Lu Lele shifted her gaze over and discovered that she was sitting on a soft armchair, while at her feet, a young girl dressed in a maid outfit and holding a newspaper was kneeling.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and big eyes. She looked rather delicate, but her body showed traces of malnutrition and abuse.
According to her memories, this was one of Lu Lele's maids, a humble slave from the Far West Country, named Helena.
"Ah, sorry..." Lu Lele replied instinctively.
As a result, this made Helena even more panicked. She spoke cautiously and sycophantically:
"No, you shouldn't apologize to me, Miss. It is my fault for failing to hold your interest. Please, please punish me..."
Lu Lele calmed her mood and said:
"I forgive you. Helena, where did I just read to?"
Helena obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said in a small voice:
"Just now, you read the beginning of the article that Lord Gu De newly published in the Daily Mail..."
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
