Chapter 1118: Raising Gu and the Main Body

Chapter 1118: Raising Gu and the Main Body

Do you think I am pleasing to the eye?

Leon raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he suddenly remembered something. After flipping through the passive effects of his badges, he spoke thoughtfully:

"Do you have a title like queen or something?"

"No."

"So you are married? Or nominally married, and are you very dissatisfied with your current life?"

"neither……"

Faced with Leon's increasingly strange questions, the mermaid statue couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion:
"Why do you ask these questions?"

"I ask these questions because I want to know the answers to the questions."

"???"

"Actually, I have a few more questions to ask. Since we are of the same race... Are you the type who likes to steal someone's love, or do you have a special fetish for married men?"

"no……"

After answering several questions in confusion, the mermaid statue couldn’t help but ask Leon, who frowned and thought:

"What's the point of you asking these weird questions?"

It definitely has significance, and it’s huge.

After carefully comparing all the badge effects that could "increase favorability" on the panel, Leon looked up at the mermaid sculpture nailed to the reef base by the trident, squinted his eyes and asked:
"One last question...are you really dead?"

"?"

The mermaid statue was startled when he heard this, and then pointed to his chest with some difficulty.

I'm already in this state, do you think I can still survive?

"Or let me ask it another way... When your world was completely destroyed by other 'tribesmen', did your will, incarnation, or something else still remain?"

"you?!"

After hearing Leon's question, the mermaid statue couldn't help but pout and said with a somewhat dissatisfied look:
"Isn't there something wrong with your guide? How do you know that my world was destroyed by other tribesmen? Could it be that... you were just kidding me?"

Was this world really destroyed by other "tribes"?

Looking at the mermaid statue with a hint of surprise in its eyes, Leon, who had successfully tested the mermaid, took a deep breath unconsciously and felt his temples on both sides of his forehead slightly swollen.

Judging from the current situation, the relationship between these "remnants of the root race" with different numbers is probably not a group relationship of moving forward hand in hand, but a purely life-and-death competitive relationship.

As for the so-called ultimate mission that "Evangeline" didn't want to tell me, it would probably be completed by the winner who survived to the end in this Gu-raising mode...

"There is indeed something wrong with my guide." Under the dissatisfied gaze of "Evangeline", Leon clenched his fist slightly and said:
“It may be because my tribe once underwent a large-scale migration in the past, and there have been many changes from the established situation. Before I awakened, someone accidentally broke into the roots.

That person awakened the guide who was supposed to be me, and used up the time he left for me in advance. By the time I reached the Root, he had almost disappeared. He only had time to tell me to go to the Old Land before he disappeared.

"Then how do you know...you didn't guess it?"

After looking at Leon in surprise, the mermaid statue nodded in realization and said:
"That's right. After all, you are one of my 'tribesmen'. Naturally, you will find the strange things in this world. If you use your brain a little, it won't be difficult to analyze these things.

So you became suspicious because you couldn't find the source? Or did you sense the color of the source from another world on the weapon that nailed me to death?"

"Roughly the same……"

In fact, it is because you can absorb my root color, and the root color absorbed by you can't be replenished in this world. I can't even feel the existence of the root.

Of these two discoveries, the former proves that "we" as a race can seize power from each other without even having to get permission from others, and the latter proves that there may be something seriously wrong with the origin of this world.

Considering the desolate and dead state of this world, your appearance of dying in battle, and the fact that your race is most likely stronger than the Third Director...you and this world being killed by other "Rooters" is almost the only answer that meets the requirements.

"Tsk... You may be good-looking, but your suspicious personality is really unpleasant."

After waiting for a while without receiving any follow-up answer, the mermaid statue couldn't help but pout and complain with dissatisfaction when seeing that Leon was actually going to fool him with the word "almost".
"Although I didn't tell you everything, I answered almost every question, right? And you just use this kind of words to brush me off!

Also, I'm already dead like this, and I was only resurrected for a short while with the little bit of Root Color you gave me, but you're still on guard against me?"

"Sorry, I'm used to it."

After responding without much apology, Leon looked up at "Evangeline" in front of him and reminded:

"Also, you haven't answered my previous question yet. Are you really completely dead? Are you sure there is no incarnation, will, or anything else left?"

"I...should have, right?"

The mermaid statue blinked when it heard this, and then said uncertainly:

"I am not only a statue, but also the 'real body' that controls the origin of this world. The moment I was completely killed, the image was engraved in this world, so my real body must be dead.

But for someone who has reached my level, being killed doesn't mean complete demise, so if my will is strong enough, I should still be able to leave something behind?"

"Understood……"

After hearing the answer from the mermaid statue, Leon couldn't help but clench his fists, and felt a slight pain in his head.

The "Evangeline" in front of me is 100% the same Evangeline I know!

The mermaid statue in front of him did not meet any of his passive conditions for adding favorability badges, but was quite appreciative of his appearance. He was even willing to answer questions honestly even when being "tricked" and "guarded against". This was obviously not right.

On the contrary, the beautiful mermaid is married and yearns for freedom, so she can get the full favorability bonus from [Ocean Disaster]. In addition, she is now most likely to have usurped the throne as queen, so she can also get the "special attack" against the queen from the gigolo badge.

The mermaid statue clearly does not meet the requirements, but it has perfectly received the favorability bonus from [Ocean Disaster] and [The Man Behind the Queen (White)], proving that she and Evangeline are the same person! She is even regarded as a part of the mermaid beauty, and the current Evangeline is her "real body"!
