The wind fanned by butterfly wings is quietly blowing to every corner of the world.
But on the other side.
The little butterfly, who still knows nothing about this, is currently trapped in its own troubles.
After destroying the cursed fusion body, the "Witch of True Flame" costume was forcibly withdrawn, the witch costume on her body returned to its original state, and Vivian finally regained control of her body.
But at the end, like parting, the red-armored witch's voice once again left four words in Vivian's mind.
"Yae...Shrine..."
Although the other party didn't say anything else, Vivian could understand what "she" meant. The other party hoped that she could go to this place.
However, the little girl did not have more time to continue thinking, because the current situation that was about to get out of control was Vivian's biggest headache.
Boom, boom, boom!
The earth trembled slightly again.
But this time, it's not that a new cursed and deformed monster has appeared, but that the Thousand Island players at the scene are rushing towards Vivian's location at a flying speed.
The little girl who had not changed her expression when facing the Fallen Abyss troops approaching the city, was shocked by the current scene.
If Vivian hadn't quickly opened a transparent magic barrier with a radius of about five meters, centered on herself, she might have been overwhelmed by the wave of players.
However, even if they were blocked by the "air wall", the enthusiasm of the players did not diminish at all. Everyone surrounded Vivian, and everyone looked at the fox face in the center with expectant eyes. Miko.
Excluding the players who were screaming and shouting excitedly, the vast majority were waiting for the fox-faced witch to speak.
Vivian is obviously aware of this. She has to say something now, but this is the first time in her life that she has been stared at by so many eyes in the audience. The palms in the little girl's sleeves have long been nervous. And keep changing shape.
Woo woo woo...
Xiaohei...
Help, help!
Vivian cried and howled in her heart, but she also knew that Xiao Hei would not show up, because this was a trial that belonged to her, and it was also the responsibility of the fox-faced witch.
The thought of this.
Vivian took a deep breath. From somewhere, an inexplicable force seemed to surge out of her heart, which relieved her overly tense body and allowed the little girl to relax facing the players.
"that..."
Finally, from the perspective of the players, the fox-faced witch spoke after being silent for a short period of time.
For a moment, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Every player fell silent in unison, waiting for the next words of the fox-faced witch.
[Foreigners who have traveled from a distant unknown country, in the battle just now, I was surprised by the courage you showed, and I admire your heroic appearance in fighting! 】
[I never thought that the prophecy that had been forgotten for hundreds of years would actually come true. People from foreign lands, I can be sure that you will undoubtedly be able to save Sakuragi Island as mentioned in the prophecy. Even the saviors of the entire Thousand Islands! 】
[Please forgive me for being abrupt here, but for Sakuragi Island, for the homeland I love and protect, I implore you to help me eliminate the evil curse on this land and save this... dying... islands! 】
At the beginning, the player's identity is named, and then he is praised.
In the middle, it hints that the mission is of great significance, raising the players' expectations, and then giving the players a "savior" title that sounds very noble and instantly fills them with a sense of responsibility.
Finally, you must sell your misfortune first, sell your character, and create an image of a tragic hero. After the players' emotions are aroused and they feel sympathy and duty, they can then be combined with the title of "Savior" to create a linkage. The benefits can be truly seen!
Savior?
Hit the workers!
This is the trilogy that the little wolf cub has prepared for Vivian.
Liao Zixuan also knew that he could not push past the situation, and if Vivian was willing to take the initiative to show up in front of the players, he would have achieved his goal. To develop a legendary NPC, you have to do it step by step, so don't worry.
He could guess that with the personality of his little girl, there was a high probability that she would appear on the stage and then be gone. Her mind would go blank and she would be unable to say anything.
After all, Vivian's predecessor was not an aristocratic lady like Liz. She had already been very good at such high-profile occasions, so there was no need for his teaching. She was even more familiar with sending others to work, as she was an old capitalist.
And the little girl who belongs to Vivian's heart still has the shadow of a village girl.
So the above are all very thoughtful lines written by the little wolf cub for Vivian in order to prevent this situation.
What the little girl needs to do now is just follow the words above and read them one by one to the players in the audience.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Vivian had already recited the lines that Xiao Hei had taught her the night before and recited them countless times. She knew that she was stupid, so she worked hard to make up for her shortcomings. The little girl was very hardworking.
so...
Now it's time to test the results.
She couldn't let Xiao Hei down.
He must not let him down, Xiao Hei has made so many efforts behind his back.
so...
"that..."
"..."
It is obvious that Ming Ming has already memorized the melons so well that he can even recite them backwards and forwards.
Every word Xiaohei taught clearly appeared in her mind, but for some reason, she just... just...
It was like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't pronounce a single syllable.
In the eyes of the players at this moment, the fox-faced witch fell silent for no reason. Everyone looked at each other, and no one could figure out what was going on with the NPC in front of them.
Yeah, what happened?
The little sparrow next to the fox-faced witch was also very anxious at the moment.
Xin Yan couldn't help but secretly poked Vivian with his beak.
However, only she herself knows what the little girl is thinking at this moment.
Say...can't say it.
Yes.
It doesn’t mean that I am too nervous or shy to speak out.
It was because the little girl realized that this was not what she wanted to say.
That's not what the fox-faced witch she plays wants to say.
So...
What did she want to say?
What would a real "Fox-Faced Miko" say?
Vivian felt confident that she already had the answer.
Hug, I'm sorry, Xiaohei...
But at this moment, she really wanted to express these feelings!
So just when the players couldn't help it anymore and wondered if they had to take the initiative to communicate with the fox-faced witch in order to trigger the plot...
finally!
"sorry."
The fox-faced miko spoke.
And this opening made all the players stunned.
Yes, sorry?
The fox-faced witch is apologizing to them?
What's the meaning?
What are you apologizing for?
Didn't the fox-faced witch come to save them?
The players were not confused for too long, and soon the follow-up voice of the fox-faced witch rang out.
"Actually, the people behind the scenes who brought you to this devastated island of disaster..."
"it's me."
Once she made up her mind, Vivian would not hesitate again.
"Because you are the prophesied savior and currently the only hope to save this dying island, so when San Fengxing was still discussing how to deal with you, I would take the initiative to make suggestions and lend San Fengxing's hand. Send you here."
"I originally thought that you were the fairy-tale savior as predicted, who could easily drive away evil spirits and lift the curse on the island for thousands of years. But after I secretly observed it for a few days, I realized... I Wrong, reality is not as simple as fairy tales, you have not shown the power I expected, and are even... weaker than the worst I imagined."
"In just half a month, I have seen you die again and again. You may think that immortality is a powerful ability, but in my eyes... immortality is more like a curse. I have witnessed you The pain, hearing your cries, feeling your despair, over and over again, these are like knives piercing my heart."
"During this period, I have asked myself more than once late at night, are you really the savior in the prophecy? Even if you are, if you have to use this method to lift the curse, then when the time comes Is the Sakuragi Island still the Sakuragi Island that I once loved and that can make everyone smile happily?"
"If the way to lift a curse is to let another person take your place and suffer constant pain and torture, then even if the curse is lifted, what's the point?"
call!
After saying so much in one breath, Vivian was a little out of breath. She hardly thought about these words. They all came from her instincts and words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
Now that this step has been taken.
The little girl under the fox mask had a determined expression. She tightened her hands in her sleeves and spat out the last thing she wanted to say.
"When I realized this, it was already too late, just like back then, so I could only keep correcting and trying to make up for my mistakes."
"I secretly release blessings, purify spring water, and engrave stone tablets to provide inheritance. I hope that what I do can reduce your pain and prevent you from experiencing death."
"In the past, I selfishly hoped that you could save my homeland, but now I only hope that you can... survive!"
Say these last three words sonorously and forcefully.
call!
The little girl let out a long breath again.
Vivian said all her inner thoughts and felt inexplicably relaxed all over her body.
There is absolutely no falsehood in these, they are all the true feelings of her personal experience, but maybe because she has memorized the scripts that Xiao Hei gave her so many times before, she can’t help but write down many scripts as she talks. The scene inside was integrated into it.
But it was almost the same, and she felt that she had conveyed the meaning that Vivian wanted to convey to the strangers well.
But it’s like the reaction after many impulsive decisions.
In the bottom of Vivian's mind, she also felt her own regret and disgust.
Why...
If this happens, people from other lands who know the truth will definitely hate themselves extremely, right?
The image of the "fox-faced witch" that Xiao Hei worked so hard for her to perform should have been completely ruined by her now.
Without the help of the strangers, Sakuragijima was unable to lift the curse, and they could no longer see the forbidden monster in natural legends, the nine-tailed demon fox of Yae Shrine.
Without that person's help, they would not be able to enter the Abyss, find An, and get back the Chain of the Water God.
Oh...yes, I'm sorry, Xiaohei...
Sorry, Ann...
I'm sorry, Fire God Alice...
Sure enough I...
Sure enough, nothing can be done...
The little girl noticed that after her words, the strangers around her were now silent, and they no longer even looked at her. Instead, they all lowered their heads. They must be disappointed with her, right?
Those many waving their fingers in the air must be making some kind of contemptuous gesture towards her, right?
These conclusions can all be judged from the expressions of the strangers.
From Vivian's perspective, the people in the foreign land were either dumbfounded, or their eyes were wide open, and some even fainted. It must be that they...can't accept such a cruel truth, right?
Woohoo...
Just when Vivian was staring at her toes, her head wearing a fox mask also lowered her head in despair.
What the little girl didn't know was that all the strange behaviors of the foreigners in her audience had nothing to do with what she just said.
On the contrary, it has something to do with the very clear and sweet "ding!" that followed immediately at the end of her last words.
Because, right after Vivian's words, what immediately jumped out in front of all the players was...
【Ding! You have received an epic mission from "Fox-Faced Miko" - "Survive". Do you accept it? 】
【Stay alive! 】
