Chapter 368: Chapter 311 Task Completed_2
Sonia shuddered and murmured, “True love…”
“Yes, lovers should support each other, through thick and thin…”
“If one runs away and leaves the other behind in danger, can that still be called love!?”
Ash was very moved, “I’m glad you understand…”
“So, let’s break up,” Sonia sighed. “That way we’re no longer lovers, and I can abandon you with a clear conscience. Ah, such a fleeting love, I’ll miss you, the knight whose name I still don’t know to this day.”
Ash was so angry he couldn’t say a word, but it didn’t matter, for he was quickly embraced in a warm hug, his neck circled by jade arms, and his head once again resting on that intoxicating tender warmth–
“Can we answer the question now?”
Denzel’s flat voice instantly made Ash serious, “Yes, I hate it when people engage in small talk while I’m trying to work. Let’s end this cabin journey quickly.”
“Option one is completely out of the question, as we have yet to acquire any information associated with the ‘Missionary Saint.’ Choosing an option without any information under amnesia is akin to gambling.”
“Option three is also out, but…”
Denzel: “But?”
Ash pondered, “In these questions, we’ve seen four people who look exactly like my sister (Diya), yet according to the answers, all four are different individuals.”
“So, could we assume,” Ash adjusted his head to rub more comfortably against the Empress’s bosom, “that only one is the real one, and the other three are… Imitators?”
Sonia was confused, “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know what it means either, but it’s impossible to have four identical people without it being intentional,” Ash replied. “So one is definitely the original, and the others have deliberately made themselves look alike to become the ‘original.'”
“Plus, do you remember the answer to my sister’s (Diya) third question? Her grandmother wanted her to become the God of Mankind… If we connect this with the current question…”
Denzel caught on, “The girl with the eye patch, is she the original God of Mankind?”
“Maybe not,” Ash said. “But she definitely has some power, such that others would deliberately make their descendants look just like her to inherit her authority.”
“And among these three options, the one most likely to carry unknown powers is…”
Ash and Denzel both looked at option three: the Gospel Avatar of the All-knowing Weaver.
Even without their memories, they could feel a riddle of cosmic proportions emanating from the term.
“But this is just my speculation, it’s all water, not a single solid fact,” Ash said. “Option two is still the most likely at the moment.”
Denzel asked, “So, what will you choose?”
“I choose three.”
“Then I’ll also choose three.”
“Does this mean we have a lover’s level of tacit understanding?” Ash inquired.
Denzel didn’t reply to the question but instead said, “Do you know what kind of person I like the most? Someone who is thoughtful, someone who is calm, someone who is knowledgeable.”
“Wisdom is the quality that moves my heart the most; I can’t resist a smart person.”
“Only just now did I catch the scent of wisdom I like the best coming from you,” Denzel leaned close to Ash’s cheek and took a deep breath. “If you can keep radiating this scent, even if I lose my memory again, I’ll still be captivated by you.”
Ash dared not move a muscle, slightly turning his head to look at Sonia behind him.
Ash blinked: “I understand now, I just need to play dumb later to escape disaster!”
Sonia blinked: “I think you don’t even need to pretend.”
“Right, right, before you answer, you need to know about the treasure tied to this question,” the Observer said. “We don’t need to mention the beauty’s treasure, it’s still the ‘Secret Avatar,’ and as for the knight, your treasure is this–”
A cluster of starlight appeared in the Observer’s hand: “The ‘Star Cluster Avatar.’ This is the most valuable thing on you.”
The moment Denzel saw the ‘Star Cluster Avatar,’ her eyes widened.
Even with her memories gone, but a sense of mission engraved in her soul’s depths, she instantly knew her task–she had to obtain this thing!
“If I answer correctly, can I choose to receive the ‘Star Cluster Avatar’ as my reward?” she immediately asked.
The Empress was about to speak when the Observer preemptively said, “Of course.”
The Empress fixed her gaze on the side of the Observer’s face, realizing there was already a problem with the cabin.
If Denzel answered correctly just now, why was the reward 10,000 Soul Power and not some other Concept Avatar? Because a Concept Avatar has uniqueness, which the cabin couldn’t possibly award!
No two Concept Avatars are the same in the world; every concept is unique!
If Denzel answers correctly, the cabin can’t possibly provide a ‘Star Cluster Avatar,’ unless–
“So, have you decided on your answers?” the Observer reminded. “Theoretically, you can’t choose the same answer for the same question; if you insist on doing so, you may be subject to a certain penalty.”
No, there’s no such rule.
The cabin had never encountered two guests since its establishment; it hadn’t had the opportunity to create rules for two-player games.
However, the Empress couldn’t say anything, as once the Observer had spoken, the rule indeed appeared in the cabin.
After confirming that Ash and Denzel were both set on their answers and would not change, the Observer cheerfully declared, “Good, congratulations, you have both chosen the correct answer.”
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Observer added, “However, because you chose the same answer, the cabin suspects you of copying each other and thus you must be penalized, but you will still receive the reward.”
“The penalty is that you’ve lost the treasures you wagered.”
“The reward is that you each receive an item of equivalent value to the treasures.”
“So…”
At that moment, a ‘Star Cluster Avatar’ appeared in the palm of the Observer, and a ‘Secret Avatar’ at the tips of the Empress’s fingers. The two orbs swapped places, each making its way to its new owner.
Ash received the ‘Secret Avatar,’ losing the ‘Star Cluster Avatar.’
Denzel received the ‘Star Cluster Avatar,’ losing the ‘Secret Avatar.’
Ash felt nothing in particular, as he didn’t know the value of the two items.
Denzel fell into contemplation, feeling the mission within her soul satisfied.
So… have I completed my task?
