Chapter 280

Surprisingly, Xiuna turned out to be...

Find a reason to take him out and talk about business? !

This forced Will, who was sitting on the bed, to straighten up.

"In order to find a way to solve the 'death fate' destined for you in the future, right?"

"You...you know."

"I've already told you that in the dungeon created by Treya, I saw the part of the memory you remember..."

Xiuna lifted her long hair, tied it with the rubber band on her hands, and then sat next to him.

"So, in your opinion, how strong is my current strength? Do you think I can defeat the powerful enemy that caused my fate to die?"

"The threshold for an ordinary S-level—if you don't take off a single piece of equipment, to be honest, I didn't expect your physical fitness to improve so much."

Shona looked at Will's side face. He was now wearing only a single pair of glasses, which made him look a little more evil than before when he wore glasses.

Will's own consciousness is very good, not even "consciousness", but the "imagination" of fighting, but it can't keep up with his body.

According to his own words, "I used to be like an ace pilot flying a training plane" - I don't know why, the former Shona may have wanted to understand but couldn't understand what he said, but now Xiu Na Na, even if she couldn't understand the meaning of the words, she could feel his mood when he said these words.

However, now Will has become extremely powerful thanks to the transformation brought about by those three people in a rough way and the gifts they gave him.

"However, if you are really afraid of being crushed to death by a layer of slime, there is no need to do this."

"Very well, that's the answer I want."

Will snapped his fingers and smiled.

"I brought you out from Lucifer's presence just to ask you about your next plan. Now that I've said this, will your next step be..."

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Will tapped the tip of Shona's nose as she approached. Even if she didn't finish her sentence, he was sure of the second half - this was the tacit understanding between the two.

"I plan to go directly to that dungeon - no matter in terms of time or sequence of events, it's time to trigger that ridiculous fatal event. Wouldn't it be great to just meet for a while and see what's going on?"

"..."

Shona fell silent for a moment.

Although when Will said this, there was no determination to die on his face, but on the contrary, he looked calm enough to enjoy himself.

However, this is like Will going into a lottery. There is a ninety-nine percent chance of surviving, but the one percent chance of death does not seem to exist.

Chapter 309: Reasons for the result

"Ah - I understand your concerns. After all, some things that I tried my best to avoid happened to me in the end in a very unlucky way. If... I am still facing 'death', this seems absolutely unacceptable. Things that change seem to be more irreversible.”

"However, I don't think so now. I should say... I have a different way of thinking."

"Changed... a different kind of thinking?"

Will nodded and ran his fingers through Shona's flowing black hair.

Shona did not dodge or reject his action, nor did she even blush.

Just flipping your hair is not even the most intimate thing for them.

Will felt the touch of hair on his fingertips, so subtle that he needed to feel it seriously.

"As I said before, you did enter my memory, and as the 'key', you reminded me of something."

"Yes. According to your explanation, it was a 'previous life' - but if... the world you mentioned created the place we live in, then wouldn't you be more like gods to us?"

"Yes, that's how I used to think."

Will nodded.

"I have always believed that since the world I live in created you, then this world must surrender to the stories written there. Forced adjustments will always be made to the unreasonable parts."

"Hmm..." Shona responded after careful consideration, "Then what?"

Will liked Shona's reaction.

For an issue that sounds convoluted and even full of fabrications, most people would not want to discuss it...

Shona will treat this problem as a research topic and think about how to unlock the secret behind it.

Too.

after all……

Shona was created under his leadership as an "original character" unique to the adapted game, as if she was tainted with his scent.

"Then, of course - your appearance gave me a whole new way of thinking."

"My appearance...?"

"For example, why do you like me?"

"It's because...wait a minute, you ask such a question suddenly, and I have to say it myself. It feels so numb that it makes people's skin crawl."

If Will's hand wasn't still holding Shona's hair, she might have ducked from one side of the foot of the bed to the other.

"Speak with a rational analysis. Assume that you are just a 'spectator' of our fate and story."

Will spoke as if giving an order to Shona, but Shona didn't say anything and just immediately entered a state of thinking.

"Although I have always felt that 'like' is a fleeting feeling. But if we really analyze the reasons, there must be an incident of such a feeling."

"Well...that's what you think."

"Looking at it this way, it should be..."

Shona's eyes were on Will, and her eyes were rolling on his body.

"When I was most confused and exploring death, a letter you wrote to me made me understand the meaning of living again. This behavior between you and me made me like the person who defined the meaning of living for me. you."

Although the content of the language sounds like a "confession," Shona's words this time are more like a reading comprehension tone.

——Even though I have known it for a long time, I still feel... so heavy when I listen to it again!

Will stared into Shona's dark eyes.

She spoke in an analytical tone, which actually made Will feel that he needed to cherish the bond between him and her even more.

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

He needs to do the next thing - face the destined "death" and the thing hidden behind "death".

"Actually, at least, this is a 'fate' that is bound to happen - just like my death. As a heroine, you should be saved by someone - like me, and then fall in love with him and become a demon after his death. Dull and withdrawn.”

"Stop, stop, the latter hasn't happened yet."

Shona seemed to particularly dislike Will talking about his own death. In addition to the topic of death, she also didn't like hearing him say "What will happen to Shona after death?"

Will became more and more curious about what scene Shona saw in his memory that made her hate "Shouna after Will's death" so much. Every time he asked her, she would be vague and didn't explain clearly. Will felt that rather than not wanting him to know, it was more like Shona wanted to treat it as something that didn't exist.

"Besides, I don't like hearing this. My feelings are just part of the 'plot' and 'story'... My real beating heart doesn't agree with it."

"Yes. This is exactly the way of thinking I changed."

Will suddenly lowered his head.

Kissed Shona's black hair naturally.

The hair slipped from the soft and sensitive lips, and it also smelled of sweat and girl's body fragrance.

"Like this, I can smell your hair."

As he spoke, he wiggled his nose.

At least, when he was still alive in his previous life, the fictional works created had words, pictures, and sounds.

But I still can't feel the touch of the hair of a character who really "exists", and the smell of her hair.

Of course, those words, pictures, and sounds are, after all, just simulating the situation "if a world really existed."

What is presented to him now is undoubtedly true.

"I haven't showered yet today, so don't smell my... sticky hair, pervert."

"ah?"

Will was caught off guard by Shona's out-of-line brain circuit.

"Well... although there was no fighting or exercise today." She thought and looked out the window. Outside the window of the dungeon of the Tenth Castle, she could not see the blue sky, only the red walls. "But it has indeed been a day. , it will still be a little dirty.”

"Don't say that. The smell of sweat, dust and skin mixed with a girl's body after a hard day's work is the best. It would be even worse if you were wearing stockings today..."

"Okay, okay, if Little Will likes it, I'll change it tomorrow."

Shona scratched his head.

"The fact that you agreed to the pervert's proposal so naturally makes you look more like a pervert."

"This is how you usually wear it. Isn't it because you just washed it today?"

Shona also naturally pointed to the stockings hanging behind her.

"However, I won't put on stockings until you explain clearly why you have to face death!"

Shona said and moved the toes of her bare feet, as if she thought this would really make Will speak faster.

"Then...it doesn't seem impossible..."

"……Um?"

"Okay...I, I, I...I will continue to talk. If I give up all storytelling, drama, and plot development, and regard all of this as the real world, then there is no 'coincidence', and it is inevitable. Behind the incident, there is cause and effect, and the development is still natural. "

Although the dog he raised when he was a child still died, this death was a "disaster" brought about by his various overcorrections.

When he was attacked by Leah on the carriage for the first time, he was injured in the end, but the reason for that injury was basically his excessive defense.

There is also the inevitable "resignation" of Shona as the "protagonist". Now it seems that the reason is that she is indeed a little angry and wants to persuade her to come back.

The former King Edward who died prematurely also had the reason why Treya took away the demonic power and caused him to age prematurely.

…

There must be cause and effect behind the real world. Even the "coincidences" that mock his fate draw on pre-existing events and foreshadowing.

So, he now has sufficient defense, a more agile body, and a more careful heart.

even……

Learn how to "avoid" that dungeon.

He became curious about one thing——

What could possibly be the impetus to his death?

What will he see there?

as well as……

Who is the force behind this?

The "cause" that contributes to the result is more important than the "result".

He looked up at Shona.

That's exactly what she told herself.

If "death" is the end, every step towards it is not a waste and nothingness.

It is the real "meaning of life".

"So, I want to understand... what caused all this - of course, I firmly believe that if I solve this, I will definitely cross the node of death."

"So, I want to understand... what caused all this - of course, I firmly believe that if I solve this, I will definitely cross the node of death."

Although it's simple to say, to be honest, Will spent almost four years to understand.

To think about the problem as a person who lives in this world with his feet on the ground.

It's better to say that he was too happy and pretended that he didn't care about life and death before.

"Well..."
