116 Chapter - The Formula For Speedrunning Chapter 116 Has Been Determined!

Ye Yao placed her hand on Sugar Cube's shoulder, her expression serious.

Things have come to this; she could only resort to her usual trick.

"Sugar Cube, your most urgent task right now is to call me 'Big Sister,' and I will consider you a family member."

When in doubt, defect!

Regardless of whether Sugar Cube was a passerby or an Ability User from the Countermeasure Bureau, bringing her to her side was all that mattered.

Ye Yao had even swayed Luo Jianhua.

What was a mere Sugar Cube?

"family member...? Ghost, you want to be my Big Sister? Being a family member with a ghost is a bit strange, isn't it...?"

"Human, I'm not a ghost, I'm a human too."

"Then it's fine!"

Sugar Cube's expression changed instantly, from hesitation to beaming joy.

"Then will you always take me to play from now on? I always get bored easily, so..."

Ye Yao nodded immediately, not waiting for Sugar Cube to finish speaking.

"Yes."

"Yay!"

【Detected target 'Sugar Cube,' added to family member section. Please categorize: Sequence Zero, Magical Girl Alliance, pin hao jia system】

Ye Yao's eyes lit up, and she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't expected to actually add a new family member this way.

The pin hao jia system was still too convenient.

Ye Yao casually categorized Sugar Cube into "Sequence Zero" and quickly checked her information.

【Sequence 033, Gossip Enthusiast, Bird in a Cage】

【Ability: Resonance

Spiritual Power: 233

Strength: 11

Stamina: 10

Agility: 13】

【Sugar Cube is very happy to have found someone who can always accompany her in finding fun and escaping boredom.

In her understanding, a family member is a playmate who will never part.

Sugar Cube, who frequently fell, received your help, thus ending the cycle, and has extremely high favorability towards you.】

Ye Yao: "?"

No.

This silly pink-haired loli actually had this identity?

What the hell was Sequence 033?

Judging by Zhou Qing and the others' lack of impression of Sugar Cube.

This little one was probably not an Ability User from the Countermeasure Bureau.

Then where would a Sequence Esper exist?

It could only be the Countermeasure Bureau's restricted zone!

And Ability Users with insufficient clearance might not know the detailed information of Sequence Espers within the restricted zone.

Then it was understandable that Zhou Qing had no impression.

Ye Yao really hadn't expected Wu Mi's ability to involve a Sequence Esper from the restricted zone as well.

Ye Yao quickly put the matter out of her mind.

Such things could be dealt with later.

The immediate priority was to figure out why Sugar Cube still remembered the previous cycle.

"Sugar Cube, why do you still remember me? Logically, you shouldn't know."

"Human, what you're saying is strange. Why wouldn't I remember?"

Sugar Cube tilted her head, changing her address for Ye Yao.

Since beneath the black mist was a cute girl...

It was no longer appropriate to call the other party "ghost."

She had to admit, she was indeed cuter than herself.

It turned out she really hadn't lied!

"Let me think ~ Last time after I separated from you, night suddenly turned into day!

Human, you disappeared, and I appeared in a new place.

Then my head hurt terribly! Memories of my time with you appeared in my mind.

It seemed like twice?"

Sugar Cube's way of expressing herself was as strange as ever.

Ye Yao mostly understood.

Something must have broken Sugar Cube's cycle, allowing her to retain memories even after the world reset.

The cycle's influence on her had weakened.

Ye Yao nodded in thought, considering all possibilities.

The greatest possibility now was that she had interfered with Sugar Cube's cycle.

Sugar Cube, who had been constantly falling, stopped falling after meeting her.

The cycle was forced to end.

Although Sugar Cube was still in a falling cycle during their second encounter, she seemed to have some resistance to the cycle.

Her attitude during their interaction was even more natural than the first time.

She probably hadn't forgotten everything.

And after the second cycle ended, Sugar Cube might no longer be affected by memory resets.

By the third cycle, she could retain memories.

Ye Yao didn't know if this number was related to the level of Spiritual Power.

In any case, it seemed like a huge discovery!

Ye Yao immediately thought of Zhou Qing and the others.

She had interfered in Zhou Qing and the others' final battle last time.

Before sequence 077 self-destructed, she made sure everyone was left with a breath.

For Zhou Qing and the others, did this represent the breaking of the cycle?

Would they retain their memories in this cycle?

Ye Yao couldn't help but swallow.

"Fortunately, this time I courted death in front of you, Sugar Cube. If my disguise had been exposed to Zhou Qing, I don't know if I could have bluffed my way through with cuteness..."

Overall, she would still remain vigilant towards the Ability Users of the National Countermeasure Bureau.

It was impossible to approach them with her true face.

As for Sugar Cube... she naturally gave people a sense of relaxed vigilance.

"Sugar Cube, my name is Ye Yao, and I have something very important to tell you now.

No matter what, you cannot expose my identity. I will still use the 'ghost' image when I meet other people.

You absolutely, absolutely must not let anyone know that I am a girl, understand?"

"Human, received! Then when Ye Yao becomes a 'ghost,' I'll continue to call you 'ghost' ~"

Sugar Cube was still obedient.

Although she sought fun and disliked boredom, fortunately, she wasn't the kind of troublemaker who liked to cause problems.

Ye Yao exhaled and quickly had a goal.

"Then next, we'll go find people and see if they've retained their memories."

Ye Yao once again transformed into Sequence 008, taking Sugar Cube to search for Zhou Qing and the others.

After a while.

Ye Yao spotted familiar figures from afar.

Found them!

It was Zhou Qing and his group.

However, what made Ye Yao a bit puzzled was that the Countermeasure Bureau A2 team had gone from five people to two.

The other three were nowhere to be seen.

Ye Yao took Sugar Cube's hand and approached Zhou Qing and Li Muhua.

There was no surprise in their eyes; they seemed to have met before.

Ye Yao immediately understood.

"It seems you've retained your memories in this cycle. Has the cycle designed for you ended?"

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly.

"It seems so. Stone Shield and the others have disappeared, which means the cycle has ended.

It seems your interference changed the predetermined outcome, which allowed us to retain our memories.

It's a pity we couldn't defeat sequence 077 without casualties."

Ye Yao let out a soft laugh: "So it seems I made a mistake?"

"No, your actions were absolutely correct. If it weren't for you, we would probably have taken a very long time to break free from the cycle. This means this crisis is nearing its end."

"Any other discoveries?"

"Yes, we found that the battlefield where we once fought sequence 077 has disappeared, and the vacant space has been filled by areas outside the battlefield."

"Oh?"

At these words, Ye Yao thought of many things, her eyes under the black mist subtly brightening.

This sentence contained a lot of information.

If the cycle world was composed of many people's memories.

Then by ending the cycles for those people, and those remembered locations disappearing, would it not just leave Wu Mi's hidden place?

There was a very high possibility!

The formula for a speedrun was confirmed!

Ye Yao didn't want to waste any more time.

Wu Mi had to wake up within one day in the outside world.

"Since that's the case, I'm going to go on a killing spree."
