Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Some Ridiculous Things. _1 Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Some Ridiculous Things. _1 He didn’t think much of it and took a quick glance at the female teacher. Seeing that she hadn’t noticed what was going on here, he continued to ask,

“So speaking of which, do you know why ‘Passionate Paradise’ was invaded in the first place?”

If he could figure out why “Passionate Paradise” was invaded, the whole incident’s context would become much clearer…

This time the question wasn’t too dangerous, and he quickly got a response…

But this response left Colin completely baffled.

“What do you mean? To catch mothers? What on earth are ‘mothers’? No, wait, mother is a mother, what’s with the plural? Which ‘mothers’ are you referring to? No, that’s not right. Forgive me for being somewhat impolite, but do you even have a mother?”

Colin’s brain CPU was a bit dizzy, and at first, he couldn’t understand the meaning behind Yukionna’s response.

However, after a brief exchange and piecing together the information he had received…

Colin suddenly had a bold thought. He glanced at the classroom and spoke in a voice that others couldn’t hear,

“Your mothers, are they also the mothers of everyone in ‘Passionate Paradise,’ and, is their relationship with each other not very good?”

A cold breath came quickly, affirming Colin’s words.

At the same time, this response helped him roughly understand what “mothers” meant—

“Script Book,” “Decree Book (Rule Book),” “Book of Fate,” and so on…

This… did indeed make sense.

The character “Yukionna” and others like her were essentially monsters, crammed into some “personas” by those high-level artifacts, forcibly transformed from monster female to rational and reborn human females.

So, it wasn’t too much of a stretch for “Yukionna” to refer to these items as “mothers.”

‘In the past, when watching anime, people were turned into monsters, but the folks at the company, they think about turning monsters into people, quite creative indeed…’

Colin felt that he had also opened his eyes a bit more today.

“But looking at it this way, you guys have quite a number of mothers. Do you have a father? No? Oh, so all of you are mothered, but fatherless…”

Colin mostly figured these things out.

At first, based on his perception of people, he didn’t connect “books” with “mothers” straight away.

But thinking about it, the “Script Book,” “Book of Fate,” and so on might not actually be books at all.

They could also be glamorous, mature young women…

Unmarried, but with a bunch of kids.

It seemed that there was also one or more masters…

Shaking his head slightly, without dwelling further on this somewhat wacky idea, Colin refocused and continued to inquire, “So how are your ‘mothers’ doing now?”

As he finished speaking, he paused—not needing to go through Yukionna to have a rough understanding.

For instance…

Names like “Book of Fate: Fragment” and “Decree Book·Fragment” could probably give him a glimpse into their status.

As for “Script Book,” Colin wasn’t too sure, since there was no item like “Script Book·Fragment” available on the company’s market…

But considering the status of the other two, the situation of “Script Book” was probably not great either.

However, compared to his speculations, Yukionna offered a bit more information…

“You can’t really feel the normal ‘mothers’ anymore? Except for ‘Great Mother’ Script Book, the rest of the ‘mothers,’ second mother ‘Book of Fate,’ third mother ‘Rule Book,’ except for some remnants of power, have vanished?”

Colin asked softly, vague images of some past events emerging in his mind—

At first, several “housewives” in “Script City” happily created children, never expecting a group of unknown things to rush in. Without a second word, they kidnapped the local girls, causing “Script City” to spiral out of control…

Huh, this sounds a bit odd.

Colin exhaled slightly. Whether the mystery had been solved wasn’t clear, he just felt that things were getting stranger and stranger.

Of course, the strangeness was mainly due to “Yukionna’s” peculiar names for several objects.

And mainly…

With only this information, Colin still couldn’t find a breakthrough.

“Don’t you remember anything from your escape from ‘Passionate Paradise’? Did your ‘moms’ leave you any messages or something?”

Colin somewhat suspected that “Yukionna” might have some tricks up her sleeve…

After all, the abilities of these few objects were written directly in their names…

Colin had never used the “Script Book,” but from its name, it could surely weave a person’s future path, make events happen as one wished, and manipulate incidents from behind the scenes to achieve the ultimate goal.

Colin was no stranger to the ‘Book of Fate,’ though he had never used its original form, but from the fragment, its capabilities at least included observing the future and penetrating the unknown…

If the two objects were used in combination…

At this thought, Colin suddenly fell silent for a moment—he suddenly realized that a perfectly good employee, suddenly hit by a stroke of extreme misfortune, being brought into “Script City” might just be due to their arrangement?

“No, there were several batches of people who entered before me; it shouldn’t have been done specifically to target me, but I can’t rule out the suspicion that it was arranged. However, what I should be more concerned with now is their purpose for dragging people in here.”

“Is it merely an instinctual harm to others, in need of more sacrifices, or are they trying to find a way to save themselves by pulling in Bonfire employees?”

“Why did the Chinese-American co-production force its way into ‘Passionate Paradise’? What was that for?”

Colin had some guesses…

If it was about pulling people in to save themselves, then “Passionate Paradise” itself wasn’t an enemy but a potential ally…

It’s just that this “ally” had some problems.

“Speaking of which, the whereabouts of properties like ‘Femme Fatale,’ ‘Sister Strategy,’ and other such named books are unknown; it’s quite possible they were brought into ‘Script City,’ not necessarily ‘Passionate Paradise,’ but could be other copies related to ‘Script City.'”

Colin speculated that his initial purchase of “Widow Yukionna” had the significant possibility of being part of a set-up.

After all, this cursed place was supposedly sealed and impossible to leave, yet they could still appear in the outside world.

To say there was no connection at all, Colin found that hard to believe.

“Damn, what a trap, it seems I can’t just buy any prop from Bonfire Company carelessly anymore. If I’m not careful, I might inadvertently fall into their scheme…”

Colin cursed inwardly and then took a long breath out, ending the storm of thoughts in his head.

He had some ideas now, planning to follow up on the information from “Yukionna” to see if there was a way to contact “Great Mother,” and then see if they could form an alliance.

After all… the Great Mother surely wouldn’t want to end up like the second mother, right?

If he could get her support, the pressure of the entire event would become much lighter in an instant.

Even then, Colin might have the chance to think about taking the “Gene Compensation Panel Version 1.0” out with him from the copy.

Thinking it over, he planned to ask more questions, but he noticed “Yukionna” had actively sent a message…

However, as soon as Colin understood what “Yukionna” was saying, his breathing stalled, his scalp tingled with numbness, and his gaze sharpened.

“Mom is here, she’s outside the window…”
