Chapter 257: Endless Punishnt (04)
Every ti I recovered my consciousness, I would repeat the sa question.
Miwen: "How many more?"
It was hard enough to prevent my identity from blending with others after going through their lives, and it made keeping track of how many were left outright impossible.
Thankfully, even though I was acting like a lunatic, asking the sa question ti and ti again, the First Daughter never lost her patience and continued to answer
like it was the first ti.
First Daughter: "None... Congratulations, by your next step, we’ll have arrived."
Her tone wasn’t very celebratory.
If anything, she seed a little down about it.
I, on the other hand, was utterly relieved.
The last few lives took a bigger toll on
than I had imagined they would.
It wasn’t so much about
struggling to maintain my identity as it was about my brain handling the information I was given.
There were hundreds of Snow White Wolves within the Kingdom, and the majority of them had co from Maides Island.
Which ans, they all had interconnected lives that I had to experience through innurable perspectives.
Sotis, I saw soone through outsiders’ eyes before I beca them. Thinking about it made my brain ache, and recalling those mories was nearly impossible.
To a degree, the sa was true for Mia, but I think my brain unconsciously prioritizes her, sohow.
Another problem I had was the long lives of Elizabeth and Cassandra, as well as Liz’s new dragon pet.
Perhaps the human brain wasn’t ant to store millennia of mories, or at least mine wasn’t, so now they felt like a long, fragnted movie I could only glimpse pieces of unless I focused on them.
It’s pretty much the sa for everyone else after I returned to my senses, but I’m able to recall shorter lives better.
In any case, after taking so ti to recover, I took the final step out of the Infinitesimal Border, into...
An endless grey.
It didn’t feel as oppressive and dangerous as the shadow-filled Border, but what it lacked in that regard, it made up for in emptiness and mystery.
I was worried for a second, thinking I’d have to face another trial, but then, the First Daughter moved her hands a little, and a building appeared just a few ters ahead of us.
The building looked pretty much like a modern office.
It only had three floors, but it was quite wide, so the insides were sure to be spacious.
I couldn’t see inside its windows, though.
Sohow, looking at it in this grey zone reminded
of an unfinished or debug area in a video ga.
A place not ant for a player to be in.
This realization suffocated
a little.
I was starting to get too anxious to step forward, but after everything I had gone through, fear of the unknown wasn’t going to stop .
Especially since I had co to this place ready to face any consequences, knowing the odds of leaving alive were low to begin with.
Thankfully, the First Daughter didn’t bring the building, or us, too close, and although there were, at best, only two minutes’ worth of steps separating us, it gave
ti to prepare myself before heading inside the building.
First Daughter: "I’m astonished..."
Miwen: "Really? I think it’s pretty bland."
Everywhere I looked, there was nothing to see but the one building that the First Daughter brought closer to us.
Aside from being a brighter shade, it wasn’t all that different from the Infinitesimal Border we were in before.
First Daughter: "I was talking about you. I knew you were obstinate, but this... It wasn’t the type of thing that motivates you, right? You’re normally more about others than yourself. I was sure you would give up."
Miwen: "...Is that why you lied to ?"
First Daughter: "In part, yes."
I couldn’t keep count of the lives I had gone through myself, but I knew the First Daughter was lying about how many were left.
Up until the last step, her answer remained "About seven hundred
