Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

“Hula~!”

She raised her hands and waved the two guns in her hands, then pointed the muzzles at Shizuka Marikawa.

"Eh?" Shizuka Marikawa blinked her big eyes and looked at Bayonetta blankly.

Bayonetta then pulled the trigger:

"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"

At close range, the sudden gunshots continuously hit Shizuka Marikawa's eardrums, scaring her so much that she shuddered and let out a "ah" and immediately raised her hands to cover her ears.

Lin Zhiyu on the other side saw all of this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Girls change a lot when they grow up. Not only do their appearances change, but their personalities are also completely different from when they were little!"

In the world of the French Ring, little Theresa always wants to stick to Lin Zhiyu. She is so delicate and a pure little crybaby.

Now that she has grown up and is called "Bayonetta", Theresa is so sinister.

"I don't know how she will react after she recognizes me." Lin Zhiyu was actually looking forward to it for a moment.

Looking forward to the moment when Bayonetta recognizes him as Lin Zhiyu.

Anyway, Lin Zhiyu clearly saw Bayonetta's slightly surprised expression just now, which means that even if Bayonetta didn't recognize him, she was still more or less affected by the forgotten memories.

Yes - dusty memories.

Based on Bayonetta's performance and her current appearance, Lin Zhiyu is 90% sure that this Bayonetta should be the Bayonetta in "Bayonetta 1".

Because in the second and third generation stages, Bayonetta should have short hair, and her hairstyle should have been changed back to a pigtail like when she was a child.

And in the plot of "Bayonetta 1", Bayonetta was in a state of amnesia from the beginning for various reasons!

This explains why Bayonetta couldn't recognize Lin Zhiyu, but had some unnatural reactions after seeing Lin Zhiyu's appearance.

"I remember that in the plot of Bayonetta 1, there were some plots related to time travel, and Bayonetta would meet her past self, that is, little Theresa..."

Thinking of this, a picture flashed through Lin Zhiyu's mind.

Little Theresa hugged Bayonetta's exaggeratedly long legs, pressed her face against Bayonetta's plump thighs, and shouted happily:

"Mommy~Mommy~"

Because I look like my mother, when I saw my future self as a child, I actually mistook my future self for my mother!

This plot is very Sting.

The image that came to Lin Zhiyu's mind was very clear. There's an animated film in the Bayonetta series called "Bayonetta: Bloody Fate," which actually tells the story of the game "Bayonetta 1." Lin Zhiyu had seen the movie before and quite liked the scenes where "Little Beibei" mistook "Big Beibei" for his mother and clung to her.

"So will I have the chance to hold a big baby in my left hand and a small baby in my right hand?" Lin Zhiyu's thoughts diverged, and he came up with an idea that at least he found very interesting.

"By the way, I can now contact little Theresa through the infinite system's friend function!" Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyu wanted to slap his forehead. Why did he think of this so late?

In short, after completing the Elden Ring world and all the team members (Lin Zhiyu, Saeko, Laura, Evelyn, and Theresa) returned to the safe house, Lin Zhiyu took the lead and made everyone add each other as friends!

At that time, he also explained to Theresa in detail the infinite system's friend chat function!

"By the way, the little girl didn't send me a message on her own initiative. Could something have happened to her?" With Theresa's clingy personality, would she know how to send me a message and not say a word for such a long time?

At this moment, Lin Zhiyu suddenly had a bad feeling, so he quickly sent a message to Little Theresa:

[Hi hi hi~ This is Brother Lin Zhiyu! Brother calling Theresa, brother calling Theresa~ Over! ]

After Lin Zhiyu sent out this message, a reply came soon.

Theresa: [Eh? Brother? It's brother! Brother, where are you? Theresa misses you so much!]

Lin Zhiyu: [Little girl! You still say you miss me? Then why don’t you take the initiative to send me messages to harass me?]

Theresa: [Wow, Theresa forgot...]

- Well, little Theresa is only a kindergarten-aged baby, and even adults often have problems remembering things.

"So, Theresa, where are you now? I hope you haven't encountered anything strange. I'll come find you soon, okay?"

Because Theresa replied to his message, Lin Zhiyu felt a little relieved. But when he thought about the plot of Bayonetta 1, Lin Zhiyu felt that something would happen to Theresa sooner or later. He wondered if he could just bring Theresa to his own world and live with her for a long time?

As expected, Theresa's subsequent reply made Lin Zhiyu frown immediately.

[Woohoo, Theresa saw her father earlier, but he threw her onto a bridge, saying she could find her mommy there. But Theresa searched for a long time and found nothing, and her father never showed up.]

[Brother, brother, can you please come and pick up Theresa? Theresa is so scared...]

"Fuck! That old bitch!" As soon as Lin Zhiyu received these two pitiful replies from Theresa, he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Because in the plot of Bayonetta 1, Theresa or Bayonetta's father had actually died a long time ago, and his body had been taken over by the dark side of the God of Creation.

The dark side of the Creator God wanted to become complete and gain unparalleled power.

The key to all this lies in Bayonetta, the mixed-blood "witch"...

The author says:

Author's words: When I think of Xiaobei calling Dabei mom, and then accidentally seeing "Mommy" and his brother kissing, hugging, rubbing, and making love, and Xiaobei being horrified, I can't help but smile.

Chapter 7: The Left Eye of Darkness

Lin Zhiyu stared at Bayonetta in the distance. At that moment, his gaze fell on Bayonetta's ample breasts... just above them. There, a small disc, like a badge, about four or five centimeters in diameter, was affixed to the surface of her clothes.

The disc-shaped object is called the "Left Eye of Darkness" and contains terrifying power. In the past, it was the treasure of the witch clan in the world of Bayonetta and was protected by the witch clan.

If we want to trace the origin, we have to talk about the great god "Ashir" in the world of Bayonetta, who is regarded as the creator by humans.

This god of the human world once divided his power into two, transforming it into the "Right Eye of Light" and the "Left Eye of Darkness," which he gave to the all-male sage clan and the all-female witch clan respectively. He allowed the sages, who wielded the Right Eye of Light, and the witches, who wielded the Left Eye of Darkness, to guide humanity's progress. Thus, human society began to progress, all the way to modern civilization.

However, when the god named Aisir divided his power, he himself was also divided into two, becoming two people with good and evil sides, but different bodies and the same origin.

The evil side of it plans to seize the Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness in order to gain unparalleled power.

Bayonetta's mother, Rosa, originally had an extraordinary status in the witch clan. Even though she "committed adultery" with a sage and gave birth to Bayonetta, Rosa, who committed such a serious mistake, was only imprisoned, and her daughter Bayonetta was not even in trouble and was able to live safely in the clan.

This is because Rosa was the first guardian of the Dark Left Eye of the witch clan at that time, and she personally controlled the Dark Left Eye!

The story after that is simple.

Bayonetta inherited the Dark Left Eye from her mother Rosa, and was therefore targeted by the evil incarnation of Aishel, thus falling into a series of conspiracies and intrigues.

Of course, there are still many stories that need to be told.

For example, how was Bayonetta's father possessed by the evil incarnation of Asher?

Why did Bayonetta lose her memory?

But these are all things for later.

Now Lin Zhiyu just wants to quickly pick up the lonely little Theresa.

"Saeko, I have to leave for a while and will be back soon. Please keep an eye on Marikawa Shizuka and Bei... the woman in black with glasses. If they come to you, do not hurt them under any circumstances. If they ask about me, tell them to be patient and tell them I will be back soon."

After giving these instructions to Busujima Saeko, Lin Zhiyu immediately went to the world of little Theresa. He was so quick that Busujima Saeko didn't even have time to ask him what happened and why he was so anxious to leave?

After Bayonetta dealt with the zombies behind Marikawa Shizuka, she immediately turned back to observe Lin Zhiyu and Busujima Saeko. Noticing Lin Zhiyu's sudden appearance and disappearance, her heart suddenly twitched, and she felt a sense of loss.

"Eh? That handsome guy in armor appeared in an instant and disappeared in an instant, just like you, Bei-chan, suddenly came to me and then suddenly disappeared. It's so weird!" Shizuka Marikawa exclaimed after witnessing Lin Zhiyu's sudden disappearance.

Bayonetta was awakened by Marikawa Shizuka's words, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind. She immediately realized that the man in armor just now was in a very similar situation to her!

What if the man in armor came to this world as an Infinite Space Trialist, invited by the purple-haired woman holding a katana, who was also an Infinite Space Trialist?

Then I had to leave because of something.

Then isn't there a reasonable explanation for the man in armor who suddenly appeared and disappeared?

"But even if they are both trial-takers chosen by the infinite space, there is no reason for me to have a sense of déjà vu about those two..." The more Bayonetta thought about it, the stranger it seemed. So she turned around and informed Marikawa Shizuka, asking her to follow her, intending to go and have a chat with Busujima Saeko.

Shizuka Marikawa had no problem at first and just followed Bayonetta obediently.

However, as the distance got closer, Marikawa Shizuka, who only had the vision of an ordinary person, saw Busujima Saeko clearly. Only then did she realize that Busujima Saeko's clothes were covered with blood stains, and the knife in her hand was also stained red with blood!

"Bei... Bei-chan, that woman in front looks so fierce and dangerous. Should we..."

“No~!”

Bayonetta didn't even let Marikawa Shizuka finish her words before she denied her. She knew that Marikawa Shizuka was frightened by Saeko Busujima's appearance, but she wouldn't be frightened so easily.

……A few minutes later.

"Eh? Mommy? Mommy!"

A childish voice full of joy rang out on the long and wide street covered with zombie corpses.

Bayonetta and Shizuka Marikawa, who were talking to Saeko Busujima, all turned their heads at the same time. The first person they saw was Lin Zhiyu who appeared again, because Lin Zhiyu was tall enough.

However, Theresa, who was small in stature, was not noticed at first.

So when she found that her legs were suddenly hugged by someone, and looked down to see that it was a little girl, Bayonetta was stunned.

"Mommy~"

The little girl wearing glasses hugged Bayonetta's long legs tightly, calling "Mommy" in a low voice with a happy face.

Bayonetta was even more surprised.

Who is this little girl? Why did she suddenly rush over, hug her legs and call her mommy?

Frowning slightly, Bayonetta looked down at Theresa, who was hugging her right leg. The more she looked, the more strange the feeling grew. This time, she didn't feel any sense of déjà vu, but looking at the little girl who called her "Mommy" made her feel strange. Inexplicably, she didn't feel resentful, but instead felt a strong desire to protect this little girl who called her "Mommy."

"Oh my~ Bei-chan is already married and has children. She's a mother now?"

Suddenly, a low cry from Shizuka Marikawa beside her brought Bayonetta, who was still in a daze to a certain extent, back to her senses.

Bayonetta quickly realized that this little girl who suddenly appeared and ran over to hug her must be related to Lin Zhiyu, so she stared at Lin Zhiyu with sharp eyes and asked:

"Who are you? And what's going on with this little girl?"

At this time, Lin Zhiyu was talking in a low voice with Busujima Saeko, and asked Busujima Saeko what happened in the few minutes when he left to pick up Theresa?

Saeko Busujima told Hayashi Zhiyu that Bayonetta brought Shizuka Marikawa over to ask her some questions, but the two sides only reached a consensus that they were all trial-takers of the infinite space.

Bayonetta did ask Busujima Saeko about Lin Zhiyu, but Busujima Saeko answered Bayonetta's questions exactly as Lin Zhiyu had instructed her before he left. She only told Bayonetta that Lin Zhiyu would be back soon, and that she could ask Lin Zhiyu directly if she had any questions.

Now, Lin Zhiyu appeared again. Bayonetta felt palpitations when she saw Lin Zhiyu, which increased her desire to solve the mystery, so she interrupted the conversation between Lin Zhiyu and Busujima Saeko.

Attention shifted to Bayonetta. Lin Zhiyu was about to say something to Bayonetta, but Theresa, who was holding Bayonetta's right leg, spoke first:

"Eh? Why didn't Mom recognize my brother? This is Brother Lin Zhiyu! Didn't Mom ask Brother Lin Zhiyu to help take care of Theresa?"

As the name "Lin Zhiyu" popped out of little Theresa's mouth, Bayonetta instantly felt as if something had hit her head. She seemed to remember something, but also seemed to remember nothing.

"Theresa, do you really not remember me?" Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and slowly said to Bayonetta.

When Lin Zhiyu called her "Thérèse", the dusty memories in Bayonetta's mind began to surge and revive, which made her stand there in a daze for a moment and did not immediately respond to Lin Zhiyu's question.

Little Theresa, who was holding Bayonetta's right leg, thought Lin Zhiyu was talking to her, so she frowned and pouted at Lin Zhiyu, saying with dissatisfaction:

"How could Theresa not remember my brother? My brother is acting strangely today, and so is my mother, hum~!"

Perhaps she noticed that there was a strange atmosphere between her mother (Bayonetta) and Lin Zhiyu's brother, and Theresa felt vaguely worried. The joy that she had originally felt from finally seeing her mother was also dissipated.

"Brother..." Hearing Theresa calling Lin Zhiyu "brother" repeatedly, Bayonetta suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Zhiyu.

At this moment, a purple light shone in Lin Zhiyu's eyes that only Bayonetta could see.

In Lin Zhiyu's eyes, Bayonetta saw a purple magatama.

The magatama quickly transformed into a vortex, which emitted a suction force that firmly attracted Bayonetta's gaze, and then, invisibly, it also pulled Bayonetta's soul...

And now is the time for the Eight-foot Mirror to come into play.
