To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games

【Main Quest:】

【Proceed to the target quest location and search for the quest item "Basement Key"】

"Do something and get a reward that leads to the next event... It's just like a sect mission."

As Zhong Yi walked downstairs to the bookshelf, he muttered a complaint under his breath.

First, she looked for candy for the two children, and then she went to the bookshelf to find the key.

The RPG quests that players in the previous life took for granted are something that the cultivators of this world are slowly getting used to.

This book is first published on the Taiwan Good Books Selection, and it's fantastic, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"Twilight Town? A love story between a girl and a zombie? Haha, the old man has quite unique taste."

Zhong Yi smiled as he retrieved the quest item from the pages of "Twilight Town".

Following the child's directions, Zhong Yi walked to the door of the dark room that Gu Yun often frequented.

"Squeak~"

The old wooden door trailed a long, drawn-out sound.

Everything was pitch black.

"It's so dark!"

The moment the candles in the room were lit, the originally melodious and gentle music suddenly became eerie and oppressive.

Zhong Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he shuddered.

"Holy crap, that scared me... I thought a powerful monster was about to spawn here!"

Zhong Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

There was no great demon in the dimly lit room.

In the flickering candlelight, countless origami rabbits filled the entire room, stretching from the floor to the bed.

Coupled with the sudden change in melody, the scene had an inexplicably eerie quality.

"This is... origami? A rabbit?"

Zhong Yi curiously picked up a few origami rabbits and examined them.

Apart from the different colors, there seems to be no difference.

【The origami rabbit: the creases are precise and meticulous, seemingly made by the same person】

Besides the origami rabbits scattered all over the floor, there are two other items in the room that can be examined.

【Music Box: A unique toy from the Azure Realm, old and dilapidated, barely usable】

【Platypus doll: A child's doll. It's covered in patches and looks quite old.】

"Origami rabbits, music boxes, dolls..."

Zhong Yi pinched his chin, frowned, and began to ponder the connection between the three.

"These are all children's things? I can't understand what's so special about them."

In the end, Zhong Yi chose to give up.

"Hmm? We can take this platypus with us? Then let's take it with us."

After putting the platypus plush toy into his backpack, Zhong Yi left the room.

The background music was still somewhat intense, which made him feel an urgent desire to explore and find the truth.

"What? You mean... there are these paper rabbits in other places too?"

"Yes, it's in the lighthouse on the cliff. The old man often goes there!"

"Please take me to see this!"

Upon hearing the two children's answers, Zhong Yi immediately felt that the paper rabbit might be the key to solving the mystery.

Gu Yun's old house was built on a steep mountainside.

The "lighthouse" that the two children mentioned is located on the cliff behind the old house.

【Lighthouse: A special structure in the Azure Realm, topped with a powerful light stone that can penetrate darkness and fog to guide ships at sea.】

"An architecture I've never heard of... but it's quite useful? Perhaps it could be promoted in the mortal realm."

Zhong Yi looked up at the tower, which was several meters high, and only when he came to his senses did he realize that there was a simple but neat grave below the lighthouse.

The tombstone is inscribed with:

【The Tomb of My Deceased Wife, Linxi】

"Hmm? Is this the late Mr. Gu's wife?"

Zhong Yi glanced at it twice, and then, urged by the two children, walked up to the lighthouse.

Just as the two children said, the top floor of the lighthouse, like the dark room in the basement, was filled with colorful origami rabbits.

On a small table on the top floor, a single origami rabbit made of blue and yellow stands out.

"That's strange, this colorful rabbit wasn't here when we came up here last time..."

"The old man comes here to sit every day; he must have put it here on his own initiative!"

The two children were both curious and unfamiliar with the yellow and blue paper rabbit.

"The only origami rabbit with an unusual color... what does it mean?"

Zhong Yi held the special origami rabbit in his hands and examined it for a long time. Apart from having an extra color, he couldn't find any other special features.

"This can be put in the backpack? Then it must be a key clue! But what does it mean..."

Just as he was wondering, the jade pendant around his neck suddenly lit up.

It is Qin Li'en, the senior sister of the Dream Maker Sect.

The dream-making formation is ready and waiting for Zhong Yi to return before it can be activated.

"Understood, I'll go back now."

After hanging up the communication jade pendant and putting the special yellow and blue paper rabbit into his backpack, Zhong Yi returned to the old house.

Throughout the journey, he continued to ponder the meaning of the paper rabbit, the doll, and the music box.

Aside from being toys that children enjoy, these three things have no other connection.

Not to mention its relationship with the "Moon Realm".

...

Back on the second floor of the old house.

Qin Li'en has already completed the configuration of various magical artifacts.

Seeing Zhong Yi arrive late, Qin Li'en was speechless: "Why don't you just wait until the master has passed away before you come back?"

Zhong Yi waved his hand helplessly: "There's no way... getting to the lighthouse involves climbing a cliff, and it exhausted me."

"Next time I go to such a far place, I'll just jump off and save time."

Qin Li'en said irritably.

"You think I didn't try? I just died from a fall..."

Zhong Yi muttered to himself.

He was in a real hurry and wanted to jump, but the cultivators in the Azure Realm were much weaker than he had imagined, and he died instantly from the fall and had to start over.

"After investigating for so long, there must have been some results, right?"

"Reporting to senior sister, we haven't found anything at all!"

"...You seem pretty proud of yourself???"

Qin Li'en shook his head helplessly.

"Fine, fine, if we can't find it, then we'll just go ask the employer ourselves."

After saying that, she sat down cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

Following the instructions, Zhong Yi sat down on the other side of the bed.

As the two infused their spiritual energy, the dream-creating array shone with an increasingly dazzling light.

"Dream weaving..."

"start!"

...

...

The screen briefly went dark.

The feeling of one's consciousness sinking down was very familiar.

"Isn't this just entering an illusion... I'm playing an illusion within an illusion?"

Zhong Yi found this both funny and exasperating.

The art of the Dream Weaver Sect is to construct an illusion from the memories of the target.

The brilliance of this magic lies in the fact that the people and objects in the illusion do not simply act according to a script of memory, but can interact and even be altered.

In a way, it's similar to time travel or entering another parallel world, except that all of this happens in an illusion.

"I see! Then we can just go and ask the old man directly... Pshaw! Why did you have to make me go around investigating all over the old house?"

After listening to Qin Li'en review the mysteries of the formation with him, Zhong Yi couldn't help but complain.

Since the real entity possesses independent consciousness within the illusion, why should I go to such lengths to investigate?

What a waste of time running around!

"Idiot... all those classes I attended were for nothing."

Qin Li'en rolled her eyes in utter disgust, but still patiently explained.

"It's simple, because memories can lie."

Zhong Yi was surprised: "Lying?"

"That's right."

Qin Li'en nodded.

"The memory may be confused or missing, or the other person may have personality flaws and be unwilling to tell the truth... In short, the human heart is far more complex than magic."

"I see......"

Zhong Yi suddenly realized and deeply agreed with Qin Li'en's statement.

"In short, let's find the old man first and try to find out the reason... He doesn't have much time left."

Qin Li'en hurriedly got up and walked outside.
