The nth time I met my puppet

"007, I think we need to sort out the timeline. The current situation has completely exceeded my expectations. And regarding the matter of Sanbing becoming a god, I feel that since it was the doctor's operation, it may not be a good thing..."

Wan Nan thought that her timeline was random every time, and she seemed to have never sorted out the timeline, so she only had a rough idea of ​​the location of the timeline.

"The earliest timeline is when Sanbing was still a whiz kid... the next one is when I was still a little mute. The subsequent timeline... should be after he became an executive officer...

That is... the two times I became a recruit of the Fatui and Sleeping Beauty?!

Wait! Holy shit!

007! It’s over! "

Wan Nan's expression was a little broken, as if the sky had fallen.

"What's wrong, host? It's fine. The timeline should be like this."

007 was bewildered, not understanding what Wan Nan meant. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the problem was. Wan Nan was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Do you remember what I said before I died last time?"

"Host, you first called the capture target an idiot. Then you said, 'I told you I'd come back to you. Next time, you must recognize me.' Is that okay?"

"Yeah, but the timeline I'm talking about here is the first two times we did that... Before, I didn't understand why he was so against me. Now it seems like it was just a test. But I didn't know it at the time, so I was just pretending."

Wan Nan covered her face helplessly. Back then, she thought San Bing was moody, but now it seemed he was just testing her every step of the way. She even thought he liked to die...

And more importantly, during the Sleeping Beauty incident, the skirmisher had already recognized her.

Sanbing's sincere love for her at that time was clearly shown before her eyes, he was almost ready to take his heart out. But no, dolls don't have hearts.

But what about her? She never responded to his love at that time, and it was a poor performance from beginning to end.

How would he feel?

Wan Nan hardly dared to think about it.

It was clearly she who told him that he must recognize her next time, but when he recognized her, she didn't love him?

Wan Nan suddenly understood everything at this moment.

At this moment, Wan Nan felt like a heartless man who deceived other people's feelings.

However, San Bing, who had experienced her extremely sincere love in two lifetimes, had no love left when they met again. She still remembered that her favorability always remained at 45%.

His love for her had always been the same; it had never grown, but it had never diminished either.

45% is because of the love hidden deep in the heart that can never be let go.

It is impossible to lower it for any reason.

But because she never responded to his love, there was never any growth.

But Wan Nan didn't know all this at that time, nor did she understand where Sanbing's love came from.

So the obvious grievance in Sanbing's eyes at that time was not her illusion. He was really aggrieved. It was clearly her who asked him to recognize her.

But why don't you love him?

She remembered that he was so sad at that time, but what about her? She didn't even hug him.

Looking back now, what she did was really too much. She was so straightforward and cold... If she could go back, she would have scolded her.

You cold-hearted woman!

But unfortunately, the past cannot be undone, and Wan Nan regrets it very much.

"It's over... It's completely over. I guess he hates me to death now."

Wan Nan felt completely devastated. She was certain that this capture would be incredibly difficult. Even if they recognized each other, Sanbing might not forgive her...

So she has to find a way to explain this misunderstanding, and avoid the doctor's eyes. The difficulty... is simply unimaginable.

007 also fell into deep thought, feeling like his brain was about to smoke. But he had to admit that what Wan Nan said was indeed true. According to San Bing's personality, he probably hated her to death by now.

"so what should I do now?"

007 asked this question in confusion.

"What else can I do? Scrambled eggs with cold dressing, delicious and pretty. Fuck."

Wan Nan felt annoyed. The timeline was so messed up. This was too fucking wrong. Now it was all over.

Wan Nan felt anxious and wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with San Bing, but with her current identity, she was not even qualified to meet San Bing.

……

Wan Nan almost didn't know how much time had passed. After all, she could only be busy here all the time. A trace of regret arose in Wan Nan's heart.

It is true that the greater the risk, the greater the reward. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child. Although the risk has been reduced a lot now, we can't contact the stragglers at all, so it is impossible to make any progress.

"We've been here for so long and haven't made any progress. 007, let's go out for a walk, shall we?"

"Good idea! Let's go then."

So, Wan Nan decided to take the risk and sneak out.

Fortunately, with Wan Nan's skills, the defense here couldn't stop her.

She had thought that with such a large-scale action by the Fatui, the atmosphere outside would be quite depressing, and she had already prepared for this, but unexpectedly...

People are immersed in the festive atmosphere.

Wan Nan looked bewildered. She was becoming increasingly confused about the situation here. It was really a blow to her one after another.

"festival?"

"Yes, my dear. You seem to be from out of town, don't you? No wonder you don't know anything about it. The Flower God's Birthday Festival is an important festival in Xumi, celebrating the birth of the little auspicious grass king."

Seeing that Wan Nan didn't understand, the people around her immediately started to introduce it to her enthusiastically. Wan Nan was confused as he pulled her along and introduced her, and he even generously gave her a void terminal.

Wan Nan did not refuse, because she knew too little now, so she wanted to take this opportunity to learn more.

But apart from some common sense she learned from the void terminal, she knew nothing else. She sighed helplessly. She wanted to go back first, but it was getting dark and the door was closed.

Well, there's no going back.

"Fuck! I've been there for so long and they didn't tell me when it's closing. I thought it was open 24 hours a day!"

There was no other way, Wan Nan could only find a place nearby to stay for the night, but she didn't actually plan to sleep, she just planned to sit on the stool all night.

However, she felt sleepy and fell asleep uncontrollably.

……

"We've been here for so long and haven't made any progress. 007, let's go out for a walk, shall we?"

007 fell into deep thought as he looked at Wan Nan who had fallen into deep sleep.

"Host? What are you talking about? Didn't we go there during the day?"

Wan Nan turned around in confusion. 007's voice didn't seem to come from her mind, but seemed to come from outside the world, a feeling she had experienced once before.

That is, in the dream when Nashida came to find her.

So...she is in a dream now?

In an instant, Wan Nan found the answer to this matter and tried to wake up and escape from the dream, but he was unable to wake up.

"What's going on? 007, I seem to be trapped in a dream."

"What? Trapped in a dream? Could it be that the god who came to find you last time trapped you in a dream?"

The Fatui and the Great Sage were each preparing for their own things. Except for the top leaders, they were not informed about other projects except the ones they were involved in, so Wan Nan had no idea what reason trapped them in the dream.

The only person Wan Nan and 007 knew who could control dreams was Nashida, so they naturally placed their suspicions on Nashida.

"It seems...we have to go look for Nashida."

Fortunately, she was lucky and soon found Nashida.

"Wannan...? You're here too?"

Nashida fell into deep thought. She couldn't understand why Wan Nan, a member of the Fatui, would fall into this dream?

"Narcida, why do you trap me in this dream?"

Nashida raised her head suddenly. This was the first cycle of the Flower Goddess’ Birthday Festival in the dream. In other words, it was the first time that Wan Nan had this dream, and she actually realized this.

"How did you realize this was a dream?"

"That's not important. I just want to know why you trapped me in this dream? It seems like there's nothing going on between us."

Wan Nan would not be stupid enough to expose the existence of 007. She still remained vigilant against this strange god.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't me who trapped you in the dream. Everyone who attended the Flower Goddess Festival seemed to be trapped in a dream, but it wasn't me who did it."

Nashida shook her head. Although she felt a little confused, it was undoubtedly a good thing for her that someone could realize that this was a dream.
