Chapter 2 Could it be that she covets our good looks?
After some casual conversation, Shen Yi from the world of Death finally understood the situation of the other "selves".
The most unfortunate one is Shen Yi, who transmigrates into "NieR: Automata". Although he now lives on the moon base, sleeps with A2 and 2B every night, and even Commander White is drooling over his genetic material, he is not happy at all.
The reason is simple: he's dying.
As an action role-playing game that has been released for nearly ten years, many people are wondering why there hasn't been a sequel to NieR: Automata.
But in fact, this work is a sequel.
Even its predecessor, NieR: Automata, is a sequel, and all of these works can be traced back to a game called Drakengard.
Why bring this up?
Because the background setting is just too convoluted!
In short, in the ending of Drakengard, the protagonist Kem leads his legion in a fierce battle against the Mother Angel of Destruction in order to save the world. The Mother Angel wants to go back to the beginning of humankind and wipe humanity out from the root. However, by a twist of fate, she takes Kem to the skies above Shinjuku in the world of NieR, where they are shot down by a missile fired by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces who are completely unaware of the situation.
Originally, this was just a dark comedy about a savior dying tragically in modern technology, but their arrival brought a curse to the world of Drakengard, also known as the Demonic Mark in NieR: Artificial Life.
That's right, Shen Yi, who transmigrated to the world of "Automata", was unfortunately infected with this curse. Before long, he would either become a red-eyed madman or turn into a pool of salt crystals.
This is why A2 was willing to risk being destroyed by the bunker to re-establish contact with it after finding him. After all, to the androids, he was the only surviving human in the world, the only god!
What happened next was only natural. As the only human remaining in the NieR world, the YoRHa unit naturally protected him like a treasure.
However, even though nearly ten thousand years have passed, the artificial humans, who have not yet fully awakened and still regard humans as gods, are still unable to remove the demonic pattern disease from Shen Yi's body. At most, they can only isolate him and delay the onset of the disease—this is also why Commander White covets his genetic material: since the person is about to die, of course, a backup must be kept.
Ah this...
Although Shen Yi from the Bleach world felt that he was indeed quite miserable, he was inexplicably a little envious.
Damn it, I'm now living the "miserable" life of wanting to hug 2B with my left arm and A2 with my right arm!
Shen Yi from the Resident Evil world needs no introduction. It's a standard post-apocalyptic start, with zombies everywhere. He's currently hiding in a small supermarket. His supplies are decent, but his spiritual world is somewhat lacking. He's just taking it one day at a time.
As for Shen Yi in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, although he is in danger, he doesn't need to rush in the short term because he has caught the eye of Li Mochou and they are secretly betrothed to each other without him even realizing it.
[Harry Potter]: Isn't this a good thing?
Shen Yi in the Harry Potter world wasn't actually in any danger, mainly because his age hadn't changed. He was quite happy at first, having his own business after the transmigration—a pub on Charing Cross Road in London that was doing well. But one day, he saw a little girl with a beaver hairstyle and big front teeth, who disappeared in the blink of an eye. That's when he realized he had transmigrated into the Harry Potter world.
He initially planned to visit the legendary Leaky Cauldron, but unfortunately, the reason he couldn't learn magic might not be just his age. He was probably, likely, a Muggle.
[Shen Yi from the Legend of the Condor Heroes world]: What a load of rubbish!
It turns out that the world he transmigrated to was more than ten years earlier than the other Shen Yi's world. To be more precise, he directly transmigrated into a little beggar and was adopted by the kind-hearted Bao Xiruo.
As everyone knows, Niujia Village is the center of the Jin-style universe and the starting point of everything in the Condor Trilogy. So, on the night that Qiu Chuji swore brotherhood with Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, Shen Yi casually finished off Wanyan Honglie, who had been shot down by Qiu Chuji's arrow and was unconscious behind the woodshed.
While doing so might prevent Guo Jing from meeting Huang Rong, prevent the birth of Guo Xiang, and cause the Emei Sect to disappear, the benefits are also obvious: if Guo Jing cannot go to Mongolia, Temujin will die at the hands of Jamukha and others, the various Mongol tribes will not be able to unify, and there will be no crisis of dying in Xiangyang later.
Moreover, in the original story, Bao Xiruo saved Wanyan Honglie, but this guy coveted her beauty, which led to the destruction of the Guo and Yang families. Based on this alone, Shen Yi could not let him go. If he didn't kill him, would he wait for him to repay kindness with enmity?
He didn't think his adopted son was more valuable in Wanyan Honglie's eyes than Yang Kang, Bao Xiruo's biological son.
Faced with Shen Yi's finishing blow, the kind-hearted Bao Xiruo couldn't help but shed tears. Shen Yi couldn't very well say that this guy was Wanyan Honglie, since he couldn't explain why a child would know.
However, Qiu Chuji, Guo Xiaotian, and Yang Tiexin greatly admired Shen Yi's decisiveness. Qiu Chuji was inherently righteous and hated evil, and the latter two were also descendants of loyal and righteous people. In their eyes, even if Wanyan Honglie was just a Jin soldier, he was still an enemy of the Song people.
So, after naming Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's child, Qiu Chuji, in a great mood, decided to take Shen Yi as his disciple and brought him to the Quanzhen Sect.
Unfortunately, Shen Yi in the Condor Heroes world, like other Shen Yis, is only good-looking and has only mediocre martial arts skills after more than ten years of training.
His entanglement with Li Mochou dates back several years. He pondered that he might not be cut out for martial arts, so he remembered the Chongyang Inscription in the Ancient Tomb. He recalled that there was a mental cultivation method called "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" on it, which could not only change tendons and strengthen bones, but also greatly improve internal strength in a short period of time.
Although the Ancient Tomb Sect was considered a forbidden area of the Quanzhen Sect, as a transmigrator, he naturally knew about another entrance to the Ancient Tomb Sect. So, following the strategies of his predecessors, he found the pool near the Ancient Tomb Sect, wrapped the paper in oilcloth, and made a rubbing of the Chongyang Inscription.
Everything was perfect until he climbed out of the pool and was spotted by Li Mochou.
[Resident Evil]: Hiss... Could it be that she's lusting after our good looks? Is she using this as an excuse to make you marry her?
[Death God]: You might as well say that Li Mochou was also taking a bath in the pool. Although that doesn't make sense either, Li Mochou isn't one of the Seven Fairies, and the Ancient Tomb Sect isn't without water, so why would she go to the pool to bathe?
[Harry Potter]: Huh, does that mean you drank Li Mochou's bathwater?
【Mechanical Era】: It could also be foot bath water.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes: ...
You're about to die and you still have the nerve to care about these things?
[The Legend of the Condor Heroes]: You're overthinking it. She didn't wash anything; on the contrary, she robbed me.
Shen Yi's group: Ah, this...
Don't ask why Li Mochou robbed Shen Yi. The Ancient Tomb Sect had been displeased with the Quanzhen Sect for a long time. The fact that she didn't kill him with a single slap was the biggest restraint Li Mochou could muster before she evolved into the Red Serpent Fairy.
Seeing that the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" (a manual on bone-strengthening techniques) that could change his fate as an ordinary passerby was stolen, Shen Yi was naturally unwilling to accept it. Only after much persuasion did Li Mochou agree to let him see the manual.
Over time, the two became acquainted, and then...
[Resident Evil]: So she really was after your good looks!
