How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

"It seems that living demons and dead demons cannot be confused. Living demons are easily affected by your potion, but the dead one is different. What is the reason..."

God knows why!

The idea of ​​a nightmare you don't want to wake up from is quite a mystery.

You don't want to wake up from a nightmare, do you?

Or is this nightmare only a nightmare for the living, but actually a beautiful dream for the dreamer?

Xilin: "I think Mom's idea is actually quite possible."

Then the problem is coming.

What kind of dream would be considered a nightmare that the dead would not want to wake up from, and that the living would consider a nightmare?

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping on Jade: Even if you ask me about this, I can only say, how would I know? /Eating melon seeds

Sherlock Holmes: A Nightmare You Don't Want to Wake From – Is This a Philosophical Question?

『 』 (empty): What kind of unclear task prompt is this?

Noelle: Riddler, get out of here!

Sirin Kaslana: Even the group members can't do anything about it?

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿

Holmes: Isn't there still a living god in Liyue? Let's go ask them.

Newbie here to fill in the blanks: That Geo Archon might not actually tell me, after all, I'm researching how to revive the Demon God!

Holmes: Yes, indeed...

Sirin Kaslana: Although the Salt Demon that my mother is researching was killed by her people, she should also have been a participant in that Demon War, that is, a former enemy of the Rock God.

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps Jade: If I hear someone researching how to resurrect an enemy I killed on my own turf, I'll definitely kill that person first /swallow ingots

Noelle: Indeed, it's like daring to challenge the powerful.

Sirin Kaslana: Also, Mom felt ashamed because she forgot her promise to deliver a rock to the Rock God so quickly, so she refused to go find the Rock God so soon.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: →_→

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumping on Jade: Very reasonable, Fuli is indeed like that /funny

Holmes: (Ashamed)

Noelle: Σ(?д?lll) Does a fox even feel ashamed?

Celine Kaslana: Ugh, is Mom that kind of shameless person?

Noelle: No, you've been following her around for so long, how could you not know if she has any shame?

Seven-Colored Leopard Jumps on Jade: There are even some lewd pictures of Durandal in the group's best information, and the person behind them is Fuli! /Eating melon seeds

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: The skin isn't mine, so it doesn't count as mine (with a straight face).

Celine Kaslana: Then why don't you just wear Möbius's skin and go there, Mom?

Noelle: (●°u°●)」Yeah, yeah

Newbie just filling in the numbers: ∠( ? 」∠)＿

Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: I didn't feel ashamed at all. Do I look like the kind of elf who would quit if I felt ashamed?

Seven-Colored Leopard Leaps at Maoyu: If all else fails, why don't you try a different demon god? Maybe one of them wants to wake up?

Newbie commenter: Of all the demons, the Salt Demon is the closest to being alive. As for the other demon corpses, it just shows how extremely cruel Morax's methods were.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: Anyway, my spiritual sense didn't detect that, besides the Salt Demon, the other dead demon was complete.

Sirin Kaslana: ...Is there such a thing as an incomplete salt heap?

Noelle: Probably, after all, it's a demon god.

Holmes: A recurring dream of past experiences is not necessarily a bad dream for someone who has lost a war... It must be this kind of dream.

Sirin Kaslana: Mom, Gan Yu seems to have said that every demon god is making humans live in peace and prosperity in a way that they believe is good!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: That makes perfect sense

That's really reasonable.

For them, who are the losers, returning to a time when everything was still safe and sound in their dreams is indeed a beautiful dream.

For the survivors, this doomed dream is indeed a nightmare.

"It's a bit of a stretch, though."

Based on this speculation, the reason why the dead demons did not want to wake up was simply because they did not want to face defeat, nor did they want to face the reality that the victors who defeated them did better than them.

After all, the people of Liyue are not all Morax's people; there are also the people of the defeated who were taken in.

If they all fought alongside Morax in the end, then that would indeed be a denial of the defeated.

"Yes, except for the people of this Salt Demon God."

If there is one Wanyan, then there must be another Wanyan.

Since such rumors don't exist internally, their descendants wouldn't feel much even if they learned that their ancestors were once protected by the Salt Demon.

If someone has thoughts like Wanyan's, then such voices must exist within their ranks.

"Is the Salt Demon so special because she's the only one killed by a human?"

Who knows?

It's simply that they didn't want to bear the stigma of betraying their gods, so they deliberately buried this story.

Given that the sword was broken from the beginning and not at the scene of the Salt Demon's death, the Salt Demon's people who left must have returned once.

They broke the sword blades, undoubtedly trying to quell their guilt.

Otherwise, no one would have known the true cause of the Salt Demon's death.

"For this reason, they must have lied about it, and then, in order to cover up the initial lie, a chain of lies followed, twisting the truth into the fact that Morax was the thief who stole the sacred fruit of the Salt Demon."

"Hmm, I guess those people will think that Morax is protecting them along with him, just to humiliate the dead Salt Demon."

Miss Fox boldly speculated.

Celine: "Mom, it sounds like you know a lot about this kind of thing."

Miss Fox shrugged: "Who hasn't lied when they were little?"

When Miss Fox was little, she would secretly save her breakfast money to go online on weekends, and she would even come up with a plan on how not to be discovered when her mother came home.

This includes, but is not limited to, mentally simulating the various questions a mother might ask after telling the first lie, and using items to fabricate the fact that she has always been home.

It was a battle of wits and courage.

Whenever she thinks about it, Miss Fox sighs that if she had put that effort into her studies, she probably would have gotten better grades and been admitted to a better school.

"Oh, no, there were times when I was a kid when I really focused on my studies, and my grades improved to the point where I could compete in county-level competitions..."

Sirin: "And then?"

Miss Fox: "......"

Then...then he got arrogant and stopped taking studying seriously, thinking that it would be enough to just study a little more before the exam.

The outcome is self-evident, but the scene of the mixed doubles match was extremely brutal.

"Let's continue discussing how to revive the Salt Demon!"

-

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 1002 Miss Fox frowned, discovering a juicy secret.

So, things returned to the salt pile that had been messed with for so long, yet remained unchanged.

The true form of the Salt Demon is salt, which makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

"What if I used my Stand ability to turn this pile of salt into a doll?"

Xilin was also taken aback when she heard this.

"So, Mom, how do we determine whether this pile of salt is a living thing or a dead thing?"

Sirin also knew a little about Miss Fox's Stand ability.

Hence this question.

Regarding this question...

"It's probably an inanimate object?"

The snowman's pixelated head jumped out of its body and punched the salt pile with a soft, limp fist.

Unsurprisingly, the salt pile was transformed into a bag of salt dolls.

Yeah, it's a plush toy about the size of a cushion.

"The portion size is quite generous. I didn't expect it to be identified as a living creature."

The character can be completely customized to fit their face, and this feature is definitely valid for determining whether the character is alive.

The Pixel Snowman's ability allows it to freely shape the faces of living targets, while inanimate objects can only be shaped into various living forms.

Miss Fox herself wasn't entirely sure of the specific reasons.

The abilities of Stands that awaken using arrows are mostly determined by the mental state and desires of the original user at the time of awakening.

Strength is determined by mental strength.

The Pixel Snowman's abilities, well, that certainly fits the situation.

At the time, my mindset was that I didn't need a Stand with offensive capabilities; I just needed a fun ability.

The pixelated snowman fits the bill.

"Aside from the rather confusing distinction between inanimate and living things..."

stare--

Xilin looked over.

"Are you sure it's not related to your hobby of enjoying seeing other people's reactions when they're scared, Mom?"

No matter how you look at it, it's probably because of this.

No matter how much you prank an inanimate object, it will not have any emotions or reactions; only living things do. That is why this judgment is made.

"Any way is fine, I'll see what happens if I wear the demon god's corpse!"

"Wait! Don't take it off, take me with you..."

Ignoring Mebius, Miss Fox simply took her off, turned her back into a doll, and tossed her to Sirin.

The pixelated snowman then transformed the cushion into the shape of an ancient-style woman and handed it over.

"Alas?"

When Miss Fox touched the corpse of the Salt Demon in her original form, she discovered something different.

That's because the Salt Demon Doll reacts to her!

Previously, when wearing the Mebius skin, no matter how you treated the salt pile, the only effects were shaking and glowing; essentially, nothing changed.

At this moment, she switched back to her classic original skin, and when she touched the corpse again, she actually had an emotional change!

A sense of sorrow leads to a shift in thinking.

Although very faint, it is indeed present.

"This is very interesting. I didn't expect that it was Snake who dragged us down."

Möbius: "..."

What does this have to do with her? Shouldn't you be the one in a special situation?

"But why is that?"

Miss Fox stroked her chin, not in a hurry to put it on, but instead began to examine the female doll that she had casually sculpted from a pile of salt.
