My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

Noita slowly lowered her hand, palm facing backward, allowing Quiet Forest Shadow to see she was unarmed. She defended herself, "Madam, I mean no harm, and I haven't done anything to harm the mountain folk. I even saved a Wind Crow Guard at the bottom of the cave."

"I know. My familiar reverse-engineered your route and found that fellow warrior," said Shadow of the Quiet Forest. "I witnessed you dealing with the members of the Bloodthirsty Cult. As a highly intelligent android, Serkar welcomes your affiliation. However, after the battle, you'll need to come with me to the camp to confirm your identity and past."

When Shadow of Quiet Forest discovered Noita, he consulted the leader with his pet and was told to handle it himself.

"I'm an artificial human and have no identity." Noita replied helplessly.

"I know, that's why I need to determine your past in order to determine your future." The Shadow of the Quiet Forest replied coldly with a firm attitude.

What a hassle.

Noita complained in her heart, but she still had to struggle.

She said solemnly, "Lady, I swear to the Lord of Pale Colors and the Dreaming Sky that since my awakening, I have never committed any crime that harmed the mountain people. This oath is witnessed by the waves and guaranteed by the mountains. If I am false, I ask the gods to punish me and I will never walk the path again in this life."

The invisible resonance spread out with Noita as the center. The movements of the two did not change, but Noita could feel that the force on the sword had increased a bit.

[You swore an oath to the waves and the gods. Your oath has been verified, and the waves have responded.]

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest's expression was moved, and the wave responded to the Oathbreaker, proving the man's credibility.

And Noita's act of swearing without hesitation diluted the Shadow of Quiet Forest's doubts.

The shadow of Jinglin was silent for a few breaths, and her voice came from all directions.

"I'm willing to spare you the treatment you've received as a criminal, but you should return to camp with me. Ordinary androids lack your intelligence and knowledge. We need to confirm your identity and, based on your confession, ascertain the cult's crimes. I will do my best to keep you safe during the investigation."

"I don't have time, ma'am."

Noita took a tentative half step towards the flesh-shaping ritual, and the frosty murderous intent became even more biting.

"Don't take another step forward."

"why?"

"You cannot endure the pain of the flesh-shaping ritual. You will only harm yourself and others and turn into a vicious beast. To prevent the birth of new monsters, I will end you first."

Noita sighed, "I just want to live. If I don't use the ritual to transform, then based on the lifespan of a cyborg, I only have half a month left. Can you guarantee that Serkar's inefficient operation will complete the review of my identity within a week and find an alchemist to repair my injuries?"

This is impossible.

Noita is deeply concerned about the inefficiency of the bureaucrats in Serkar City. The Shadow of Quiet Forest may have given her good treatment out of sympathy, but she is unable to solve the dilemma facing Noita.

The cost of hiring a high-level alchemist is enormous. By the time the Elders' Council of Serkar reaches a conclusion, she will be able to spend her old age in peace.

Noita could feel the biting chill. The goodwill of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest was completely wiped out by her refusal to surrender, and he was ready to use force to control her.

Before she could do anything, Noita suddenly rushed forward, swung the sword sideways and cut her throat, and the slight numbness and pain stimulated her consciousness.

But it's no use.

The regeneration effect was perfectly exerted at this time, allowing Noita's wounds to heal quickly.

The Shadow of Jinglin teleported to the path that Noita and the ceremony had to take like a flying shadow. She raised her sword and wanted to stop Noita. If Noita took another step forward, she would be pierced.

Not cutting Noita in half with his sword was the last mercy of the Shadow of Quiet Forest.

But Shadow of Quiet Forest overlooked one thing: the flesh-shaping ritual was behind her, and the quality of the artificial humans was far superior to that of humans.

Noita rushed forward without weakening his strength, even though the sword pierced his body. His mass of nearly 300 kilograms was like a carriage, crashing into Jinglin's Shadow directly into the Red Spring.

The long sword was stuck in Noita's body, and the two fought with joint skills in the Red Fountain. The steel armor worn by Jinglin Shadow played a negative role at this time. In close combat, her flexibility was slightly inferior to Noita's.

Noita's fierce counterattack quickly controlled the Shadow of Jinglin, and the robot's extraordinary strength made the steel armor creak.

Noita threatened: "Don't move. I can start the ritual with just a thought, and then we will all turn into monsters together."

If one person performs the meat-shaping ceremony, it may be successful, but if two people do it, it will only become materials to fuse into a monster.

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest paused, then said in a harsh voice, "Stubborn fellow, I will lift the ritual and ensure that you will still enjoy normal prisoner treatment."

Noita said, "Don't even think about it. Either let me perform the ritual alone, or we die together. If I perform it alone, there's still a chance of success. If the ritual fails, you can just get rid of me."

She is not afraid of wearing shoes when she is barefoot, but the shadow of Jinglin may not be the same.

Jinglin's eyes narrowed slightly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he pretended to agree: "Okay."

"I swear to the Waves, the Wonderful Sky, the Dream Sky, and the Lord of Pale Color that you will not stop me from performing the ceremony or interfere with the progress of the ceremony." Noita did not trust the Shadow of the Quiet Forest and wanted to add insurance to his promise.

"...Okay." The Shadow of Quiet Forest looked at Noita deeply. She lowered her head, took a deep breath to remember the scent of Noita's soul, and then swore an oath to the waves.

After a while, both of them sensed the resonance of the oath, the Shadow of Quiet Forest loosened its joints, and Noita pulled out the sword from the right side of his chest and threw it to her.

Jinglin's shadow left Hongquan and her figure disappeared in an instant.

Unable to find her, Noita took off her clothes and lay down, letting the red spring cover her nose.

The flesh-shaping ritual officially began, and a stable flow of magic power swirled and swirled, inducing the great power of the Tao to reshape the mortal body.

There is power that bursts forth from the cracks between blood and flesh, growing vigorously. The power of life nourishes the soul and ignites every inch of flesh and blood.

The fire of reforging was ignited, and the red spring ignited the fire of blood, wanting to burn the old things and create new blood.

Pain instantly overwhelmed Noita's consciousness.

——This is completely different from the pain in the game.

It hurts so much!

Her flesh and blood withered due to the burning, but sprouted new branches due to the vitality of the irrigation. In the endless ocean of pain, Noita's consciousness rose and fell like a floating boat. She seemed to be falling, and at the same time, ascension. Her misplaced senses seemed to tear her consciousness apart and throw it into the bottomless abyss.

But I can't fall asleep.

——I can’t sleep!

The advancing and deepening pain makes people want to escape into a coma. Losing consciousness during the flesh-shaping ritual will only turn them into ferocious monsters. Noita doesn't want to become that pitiful appearance, she must stay awake!

Noita's remaining consciousness was intermittently recalling the past, distracting her attention.

From childhood to youth, and then to time travel, long-lost memories surfaced due to the high concentration of the mind, like vomit produced by pain, gushing out uncontrollably.

She remembered some things from the past.

"Noita, what do you want to do in the future?"

It seemed that a friend asked her this question on the day when the first player pvp competition officially held by Gaia ended.

How did you answer at that time?

"do not know."

That seems to be the answer, which is terrible.

"You don't even know what to do in the future? You're really worrying."

"…Probably keep playing Gaia."

Worse answer.

"I think so. This is the starting point of your career. Continuing to play might give you a better future. What will happen after Gaia shuts down?"

"Change the game?"

"You're terrible at planning for the future."

"I just like the feeling of fighting. Reality can't satisfy me, so I can only play games."

"What a terrible statement! Do you have no friends? But it doesn't matter. You have a special privilege today. No matter what kind of inappropriate remarks you make, they will be forgiven."

The owner of the voice smiled and conjured a handful of fireworks, releasing them. "Congratulations, Miss Champion! You've become the star contestant you've always dreamed of. From now on, you'll be financially free. I look forward to the day when you become a legend."

--legend.

Noita thought about this word. She had become a legend, but she would never be able to meet her friend again in this life.

Oh, no, friends are damn NPCs.

--Ha ha.

Suddenly realizing that there was a chance to meet again, Noita painfully gathered her consciousness and tried to concentrate on other things.

——Now that I have traveled through time, what should I do?

This is an inquiry that comes from within, a self-questioning.

What will you do when you arrive in the familiar world?

Noita instinctively wanted to avoid this question, but there are always some problems that cannot be solved by avoiding them. She will have to face it in the future, so it is better to put an end to it now.

The word "legend" once again emerged in Noita's consciousness.

If you really want to ask about her direction, she has only one answer at this moment - to become a legend again!

Consciousness gives resounding answers to questions, beliefs and goals are forged at this moment, the power of the heart is ignited by the fusion of the soul, and infinite divine power is revealed.

Noita in the red spring suddenly opened her eyes, with pure blue fire burning in her eyes.

There are always some things that need to be reversed, and some tragedies that need to be corrected. Gaia becomes the real world, and time goes back to the earliest years, which means that she can nip the seeds of some stories in the bud.

Once you become a legend, everything changes.

The log is filled with magnificent text, highlighting the earth-shaking changes in Neuta.

Finally, the text freezes.

Countless professions passed down from the Tao, echoing in Noita's mind, and she has gained the power to step into the Tao.

The battle is at hand, and there is only one choice.

Noita responded to the invitation to the fight.

Choose profession, warrior.

[Choose successfully and gain weapon proficiency.]

The knowledge of combat flooded in, stimulating Noita to recall the techniques of combat in the game.

Noita walked out of the fire. She had become unrecognizable, her dark eyes fixed on the invisible shadow of Jinglin.

"Come on, round two."

Chapter 5 Victory

Psychic power originates from the power of the mind. The people of Gaia have passed down a story from generation to generation. The surface of the world is attached to the world of the mind. It is the inside and outside of reality and symbolizes the heart and destiny.

This spiritual world is called the virtual world.

This is not a legend. The virtual world does exist and is by no means an unreachable dreamland. It overlaps with the material world and its influence is everywhere.

The knowledge of the four phases of psychic skills appeared out of thin air in Noita's mind, allowing her to instantly understand a plan for using psychic power.

[Psionics: The manifestation of mind and possibility.]

[Psionic Skills: Mastery of the Four Phases: Mobilize the power of earth, water, wind, and fire to cause damage to the enemy.]

【Perfect Physique: Master and adjust everything about yourself.】

[Blood Feast: The power of the Path remains within your tendons and skin, making you as strong as a mountain. Your magic power is greatly increased, and your overall physical fitness is enhanced.]

Noita, who emerged from the flesh-shaping ceremony, was stronger than ever before, and her mental state was as confident and high-spirited as a young person who had had a good sleep.

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest held her sword steady as she studied Noita. Her voice drifted through the room, making it difficult to pinpoint her location. "The effect of the Flesh Shaping Ritual on you is completely different from that on others."

Ordinary people who managed to successfully survive the flesh-shaping ceremony would only become haggard in spirit, unlike Noita who looked radiant.

“Because I have a brain.”

The Bloodlust Cult's low-end androids lack brains; they operate and execute commands based on programs pre-programmed into their minds by their creators. Therefore, when Noita first awakens, she experiences a severe headache and sluggish thinking. This is simply because the android's thinking mechanism lacks computing power, and maintaining Noita's normal thinking is already at full capacity.

Now she has a brain.

Noita snapped his fingers, and the remaining red liquid in the red spring flew up and ignited, turning into a thick red flaming knife.

Noita flicked the flaming knife and said calmly, "If you surrender, I can guarantee that your life will be safe."
