Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

When was the last time?

Oh… he was made to cry by Kujo Sara-neechan. Looking at it this way, he's actually quite a crybaby…

What Yunling didn't know was that after her death, Yidou cried almost every day.

Especially when you're hungry...

Chapter 278 Refining?

"Hey, boss, you're such a grown man and you're still crying. You're embarrassing yourself."

Yunling knew why Yidou was crying, but she wasn't very good at comforting people.

In the past, people often comforted others by cooking, using their excellent culinary skills to let others feel the beauty of life and let them know that only delicious food should not be wasted.

This trick works every time!

But now... we can't exactly let a spirit that's about to dissipate cook, can we?

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'm in such a miserable state, and I don't even have that... At least I can still talk to you guys now, right?"

Yunling wanted to say that she hadn't cried, but thinking of her past self, she wisely swallowed those words back.

“Yun Ling…”

A soft, sweet voice came from the side. Yunling looked over and saw that it was Xiao Paimeng.

"Paimon, what's wrong? Your eyes are all swollen from crying."

"Waaah, Yunling, does it hurt?"

Paimon came closer, his big, teary eyes staring intently at Yun Ling.

A small hand brushed across Yun Ling's face, causing only a slight ripple in her soul.

Yunling felt so sorry for little Paimon that she quickly said some comforting words to him.

But at this moment, the more Yun Ling comforted him, the more Paimon felt distressed.

Yunling was helpless when she found that the more she comforted Paimon, the harder he cried. She couldn't hold Paimon anymore.

Fortunately, Ying came forward and took Xiao Paimeng away.

"brat."

The Divine Child and Shadow watched from the side, both feeling guilty about Yun Ling's death.

The goddess was alright, after all, she had done everything in her power to stop it, and almost lost herself in the process, but in the end she still failed.

Ying was the most distressed. She knew all along that the Abyss's target was Yun Ling, but she still couldn't protect her.

Yunling had cooked so many delicious meals for her and was the human she felt most comfortable with, yet she was delayed for so long by that snake, ultimately leading to her tragic death…

Yingzhen really couldn't face Yunling.

"Sister Gongsi."

Yun Ling smiled and walked towards the Divine Child, but the smile seemed somewhat forced.

It wasn't that she was blaming the Goddess and the Shadow; she didn't have the right or the inclination to blame them. It was just that... after what had happened before, even the most carefree person would find it hard to laugh.

"Little one, I'm sorry, your sister Gongsi didn't protect you well."

"Sister Gongsi, don't feel guilty. I possess a pure soul, which makes me a target that the Abyss will kill no matter what. I was afraid of death before, but now it seems that it's nothing. The pain will pass."

Yunling's feigned indifference only made the Divine Child feel more guilty.

Just... a little pain?

The goddess gave a bitter smile. She couldn't bear to think about what the little guy had gone through. How could it be just a little pain as she said?

Those piercing wails and groans after becoming a spirit seemed to linger in her ears every time she closed her eyes.

……

Studio.

[Even though she was in so much pain herself, she was still comforting others. Waaah, they all have such pure souls and are so kind. The Abyss really knows how to pick targets!]

I can't stand this kind of thing...

[Shinji and Kage must be feeling terrible. They did their best but still couldn't save Yunling. They both seem to be blaming themselves.]

She said the pain would pass quickly, but how much suffering must she be enduring...?

Little Paimon's eyes are swollen from crying; Yunling must be heartbroken. It's a pity she can't hold her right now.

[It looks so heartwarming to see Ying holding Paimon; it's good that Ying is there to comfort little Paimon.]

【…】

……

Ying spoke first: "Yunling, from this day forward, I will avenge you against the Abyss, and together with the other gods, declare war on the Abyss!"

Faced with such an emotional scene, Ying, a pure martial artist, really didn't know what to say.

So she told her what she would definitely do later.

"Sister Ying, thank you."

After going around the circle, I spoke a few words to everyone except Ying. It was time to head to where I was supposed to go.

However, before leaving, there are some things I must ask my second sister to clarify:

"Second sister, do Mom and Dad know... how... I... died?"

Mentioning this almost caused Kuki Shinobu to break down again, but she quickly suppressed the urge.

"No, Dad, Mom, and my older sister don't know. I don't dare let them know."

"You're still as reliable as ever, Second Sister."

Yunling's spirit was about to collapse. She turned around and looked at the long sword that Ying had been holding.

"Ying, I can now sense the two souls residing within your sword. We share the same origin. My physical form is about to collapse. I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"

Ying sensed the temperature of the longsword and guessed Yunling's request, but she still asked.

"Yunling, you said that if I can do it, I definitely will!"

"Hehe, I'd like to enter your sword and travel with you, just like you two seniors. Is that alright?"

Hisagi opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Ying: "Yes, I would be happy to."

"Shadow, sister, can you help me?"

Yunling can't do anything right now. Only a tiny bit of her soul remains, and she was only able to briefly regain her senses thanks to Ruola and Qingge.

Ying Chao glanced at the Divine Child, who nodded slightly.

The little one longs for the world outside of Narukami Island, but unfortunately, she hasn't been able to fulfill her wish yet.

If I had known this would happen, I would have promised her before the courage test and taken her out to see the world and have some fun...

Since the traveler's sword has this function, and the little one is willing to do so, let her go.

If you've restricted her life, you can't expect her to obey you even after she dies, can you?

Ying used his divine power to gently lift Yun Ling's soul and send it into the endless sharp intent.

A third color—blue—appeared on the original red and yellow longsword.

The longsword trembled in Ying's hand before finally settling down.

Ying gripped the longsword, feeling its power had increased considerably.

But this was not what Ying wanted. Three colors were enough; she didn't want another color to appear on the longsword!

……

The world of players.

The familiar prompt appeared again.

Endless Vigor: This contains a trace of the soul of your three friends. Taking them with you on your travels might make you feel less alone.

Special effect: When the Traveler uses Fire, Hydro, or Geo elemental power, they gain an additional 600 ATK.

Chen Xiyao: "Damn it, every time I see the words 'Not so lonely,' I want to curse mihy, no, I want to curse the Genshin Impact operations team. You really deserve to die!"

[600 attack power, wow, that's a significant boost!]

[Waaaaah, is this the 600 attack power I wanted? I want my Cloud Spirit!]

[Sigh, although I'm still sad, I guessed this ending beforehand, so I can accept it... Bullshit! How could they die so tragically?! Will this even pass censorship?!]

The fact that it's playable means it's passed censorship. Besides, there aren't any scenes unsuitable for children; it's all metaphorical.

[A metaphor? Or a simile? Yun Ling's death is playing on repeat in my mind!]

Chapter 279 Kaiyang Zhenyue Classic

Since Yunling's soul has already entered the sword, there is no point in her staying here any longer.

Kuki Shinobu and Ichito were still a bit reserved in front of Kage, and after Hikari left, the two of them quickly chased after her.

……

Outside the castle tower.

Ying's longsword was held in Paimon's hands. The longsword was quite heavy, and the little guy was having a hard time holding it.

"Paimon, give it to me."

"No, Paimon wants to take it a little longer."

Ying sighed and held her forehead in exasperation, remaining vigilant on the side so she could catch Paimon if he couldn't hold the sword or accidentally dropped it.

The two hadn't gone far when Hisagi Shinobu and Ichito ran up to them.

"Traveler!"

Ying and Paimon stopped and turned around.

"Traveler, could I borrow your sword for a moment?"

"Ah."

Ying nodded and looked at Paimon.

Paimon laboriously handed the longsword to Kuki Shinobu, who immediately grasped it and gently stroked the blade with his left hand.

The blue light flickered slightly, as if responding to Kuki Shinobu.

"Xiaoyun..."

Kuki Shinobu murmured, unable to describe his current feelings.

"Traveler, this sword..."

Ying's face hardened: "I'm going to take this sword with me on a trip through the Seven Kingdoms!"

The implication is that although Yunling's soul is inside this sword, the sword still belongs to me. Yunling's wish is to travel to other countries, and Ying happens to want to do the same.

Therefore, I cannot give you this sword!

Luminous had the same attitude when facing Diluc; this sword was very important to her!

Hisayuu nodded and returned the sword.

"If you have time, come visit the Araki school and the Kuki family often."

"Most definitely."

After Ying and Paimon left, Ichito looked at Kuki Shinobu with a complicated expression:

"Ah Ren, you..."

After such a big incident, Ichidou felt that Shinobu would not stay in the Arataha Faction. He thought about it for a long time and felt that he should not keep making trouble like this.

Araki-ha...
