Chapter 22 The Way of Redemption
When Qing Yehui asked about the life span of believers, Takigami Reina did not hide it.

The fox lady told Qing Yehui a story in a somewhat sad tone.

A story about 'what will the world become when its life span reaches the end and is on the verge of destruction'.

As Qing Yehui expected, this fox lady came from a different world that was about to die.

The country where the game "Principality of Rose" is set happens to be in this different world.

But according to Takigami Reina, the country where the stage of "The Principality of Rose" is set is too far away from the country that believes in her. In addition, the level of this performance is too low, so for her, it only serves as a waste of time. .

But having said that, when Qing Yehui played Shanol in "The Principality of Rose", he didn't feel that there was any place in that world that gave him a feeling of "the end of the world is approaching".

Even if Shanol didn't have much contact with the people from the other world in "The Principality of Rose".

Qing Yehui can also feel that the people in that world are still living in a state of "playing music and dancing again".

Regarding this aspect, Takigami Reina's answer is...the way of death is different in every world.

And the way her original world died was like an alarm clock that was stuck in a clockwork, and would keep going back to a certain period of time.

The time in that world is fixed in the last 180 days, which is equivalent to going back every six months.

No one except the gods can escape this kind of regression, whether it is memory or personality, even death will be erased by this kind of regression.

It's no wonder that when Qing Yehui played the role of Shanuoer, he didn't realize that the world was in a state of death.

Because "time backtracking" and "world line reset" should be the most common mechanisms in the game.

But Qing Yehui never expected that this mechanism was not brought about by "performance", but the world itself, and "performance" was just helping to reset it in advance.

"The world will continue to be reset. If this is more pessimistic, wouldn't it be equivalent to eternal life?"

Kiyono Hai expressed some of his own opinions on the situation in Takigami Rena's home world.

"Perhaps gods who can retain their own memories will find it boring, but for mortals, this kind of immortality may be an acceptable way of living?"

This is just Qing Yehui's pessimistic thought, but there should be a small number of people who are willing to live in this 180 days of endless reincarnation.

"It's not eternal life."

Takigami Reina was not angry, but instead spoke in a tone of voice as if she was educating her juniors.

"The souls of mortals will suffer losses during the process of reincarnation, and this loss will be exacerbated if they die unexpectedly during the process of reincarnation."

"Originally, the soul strength of most mortals can withstand the wear and tear of ten thousand years of time, but my believers have died too many times during the reincarnation process, and their souls can no longer withstand the wear and tear for a long time. "

Kiyono Hai always felt that something was wrong when he heard Takigami Reina's words.

"Loss, too many deaths... Senior Takigami, haven't you already reincarnated your followers into this world?"

"Or is this loss caused by the previous world?"

Qing Yehui felt that although the Japanese gods and demons in this world were running around.

But in reality, gods are extremely subtle in their moves, because no one dares to take the risk of exposing their true identity, which will be directly eliminated by the performance system.

Therefore, there should be no god who is so cruel as to kill the followers of other gods.

"The original world bound their souls, so I can only bring part of them here, a bit like a clone?"

Takigami Reina's tone sounded a little weak at this time.

"Although they have a new life in this world, their bodies are still bound to the original world. Once their bodies are exhausted, their lives in this world will come to an end."

After Takigami Reina explained it like this, Qing Yehai would understand. If it was really like what this fox lady said...

"Does this mean that your followers, Takigami-senpai, suffered many massacres in the original world?"

"The reason for such a tragedy is because the country where your followers are located was chosen as the stage for the "performance" in the past, right? "

Kiyono Hui easily deduced the reason why Takigami Reina, as a god... could only sit back and watch her believers die tragically one after another without being able to do anything.

Because the culprit who killed her followers is probably the 'player'!
The country that believes in this fox lady may have been chosen as the stage for "performance" ceremonies in the past, just like the "Principality of Rose".

The only difference from "Rose Principality" is that "Rose Principality" is a love game, with a smaller proportion of combat content.But if the chosen stage type is an RPG, action-adventure, or other combat-based game...

The NPCs who are treated as monsters among them are not just a simple matter of dying once or twice. I am afraid that they will be slaughtered by players millions of times, tens of millions of times.

"Well...after all, in my world, I am the god of what humans call 'monsters'."

The girl Takigami Reina wanted to force a smile as she spoke, but her whole body seemed to be trembling slightly as she recalled some bad memory.

Sayaka on the side felt Takigami Reina's helplessness, and at this moment, she gently pulled her friend's little hand.

The fox lady didn't resist and fell directly into Sayaka's arms to seek comfort.

With a gentle expression on her face, Sayaka gently rubbed Reina's little hand in hers.

As for the posture of the fox lady lying in Sayaka's arms, Qing Yehui felt that he could add, "Only Naiko can give me some comfort at this moment."

Okay, this is just a joke, Reina Takigami's expression at this moment can really perfectly explain what 'sense of vulnerability' is.

Reina also drew some strength from Sayaka's bosom, and then continued.

"So in a "performance" ceremony, my country was chosen as the "stage", and the content of the performance was an action-adventure game. "

"Then I could only watch helplessly... as the players poured in and the people who believed in me killed them millions of times, probably more."

"They are constantly reborn and then killed by the players. In the eyes of the players, they are just experience materials, and this process is repeated until the end of the show."

"Most of my believers have survived, but their souls have long been devastated. If..."

Takigami Reina had the courage to continue speaking only by holding her friend Sayaka's hand tightly.

"If my country is chosen as a "performance" stage again, and the genre is still related to combat, then..."

When the fox lady reached this point, she could no longer speak.

The intense feeling of loss overwhelmed the god.

Now, as a 17-year-old female high school student, she simply cannot bear such...bitter emotions.

All Takigami Reina could do was to bury her cheek in her friend's chest to ease the fear in her heart and seek comfort.

Sayaka gently caressed Takigami Reina's back like a mother, and Kiyono Hai could still hear Sayaka whispering "It's okay, it's okay." and the like.

This may be why this fox lady is so eager to become stronger.

Believers who want to protect themselves are no longer harmed by players.

Qing Yehui remembered that a god wanted to modify the type of "performance" ritual, which required an extremely high level.

And when Sayaka kept comforting Takigami Reina by murmuring "It's okay, it's okay..." like a mother comforting her daughter...

Kiyono Hai suddenly said something, causing this helpless fox lady to suddenly break away from the gentle home of her friend Sayaka.

"Senior Takigami, what if I say that I have a way to save your followers?" Qing Yehui asked.

"What did you say?"

Takigami Reina's movement to break away from Sayaka's arms was so big that Sayaka was a little surprised.

Qing Yehui put one hand under his collarbone, and the other hand made an invitation gesture to the fox lady.

At this moment, Takigami Reina and Kiyono's gray and purple pupils looked at each other.

Takigami Reina could clearly see her longing expression reflected in these deep purple pupils, which were full of fatal temptation as if they were about to tear herself in.

While Takigami Reina was stunned, Kiyono Hai repeated what he just said.

"Then I'll say it again, senior..."

"What if I could save your followers, senior, just like I saved 21Rain? Senior Reina Takigami, what choice would you make?"
