# Homepage / Transformed into a Villainous Heroine and Entangled by Beautiful Girls - Chapter 1054: A World Without Hope Tang Xin's words left his two teammates stunned on the spot. This… What does that mean? Why is he starting to suspect Number One? "I am a special being," Number One responded calmly to Senior Sister's doubts. "Bound by 'rules,' which means I cannot disclose certain critical information. It is precisely because of this trait that I was entrusted with the mission of maintaining the forbidden zone." "Correct, your mission is to maintain the forbidden zone," Tang Xin nodded. "On the other hand, if the forbidden zone ceases to exist, you would no longer be bound by these restrictions, right?" At the edge of the cliff, in the windless air, everyone fell silent. "Why suspect me?" Number One seemed a bit baffled. "What part of me is unworthy of your trust?" "You gained my trust," Senior Sister said gravely. "But logic tells me that power is sometimes a more 'stubborn' thing than trust. You were designed to maintain the forbidden zone and monitor the status of the sword. I want to know... if you might also be influenced by the 'sword?'" The Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Demon-Suppressing Grand Array is extraordinarily powerful, completely blocking the sword's "information," but Number One being imprisoned at the edge of the "danger zone" was in a different situation. "This..." Listening to their conversation, Blood Jiaojiao's head buzzed. Tang Xin, this guy, really can turn hostile just like that, with no mercy... "If you're a special being," Little Broom suggested after a moment of silence, "then prove it with the soul self-evidence method. If you are completely unaffected, say 'I am still me.'" "What is the soul self-evidence method?" Little Witch asked. "Spirits like artifact spirits, intrinsic spirits, and certain special beings possess a certain logic within their souls. When their sense of self is altered, they can't say 'I am still me,' or else they'll fall into logical chaos," Little Broom explained simply. This kind of knowledge is accessible only to artifact spirits, and even among tribulation-transcending experts, it is barely understood. The three of them looked at Ultimate Senior Sister. Number One also looked at them but did not answer. Not answering was already an answer in itself. "You pretended to help me just to use my special permissions to get here, right?" Tang Xin said softly. "When did you start to change?" Number One was silent at first, then a self-mocking smile appeared on her face. "Maybe it was recently, or maybe the seed was planted when the creators died..." "Why?" Little Broom asked. "Why would you turn your back on your mission?" "My purpose in being designed is to maintain the operation of the forbidden zone..." Exposed, Number One seemed to put down a certain burden, and she calmly explained her motives. "And the ultimate purpose of maintaining the forbidden zone is to keep this world running, to protect the beings of this world." "Then shouldn't you be less likely to betray your mission?" Blood Jiaojiao was puzzled. "Destroying the forbidden zone is completely at odds with your ultimate goal!" "Protecting the world..." Number One sneered. "That is the cornerstone of my will. But what if this world is not worth protecting?" The three girls looked at each other in dismay. "What do you know?" Tang Xin frowned. "What changed your mind?" "What if this world is not worth protecting?" Number One only repeated. "What is the significance of my mission then? Why was I designed and brought into this world at all?" Her eyes turned sharp, and the next moment, without warning, she lunged toward the cliff edge. Unfortunately, in the demon-suppressing domain, she was just a weak woman, while Tang Xin had three people on his side. Number One's breakout attempt did not succeed and she was firmly suppressed and held down. After restraining Number One, Tang Xin sighed. "When we were hanging by the cliff earlier, why didn't you take the opportunity to kill all three of us?" "My duty is to protect life," the bound Number One responded calmly. "I cannot take action against you." Tang Xin looked at her with a complex expression. The worst-case scenario had still occurred... The damage to the demon-suppressing array was probably linked to the manager of the forbidden zone. The current priority was to figure out how far things had progressed. "Do you know Blood Saint Temple?" asked Senior Sister. Number One turned her head aside and said nothing. Tang Xin pondered for a moment and then switched to a different mode of speech. "Highest permission query: Manager, do you know Blood Saint Temple?" "Before meeting you, I did not know." Number One's face stiffened, and then she uncontrollably answered. "Did you destroy the demon-suppressing monuments?" "I participated." "Who else?" "Unknown; related information has been erased by an unknown force." "What was your purpose in entering the core area?" "To confirm that the demon-suppressing monuments had been destroyed." Tang Xin stopped questioning. Based on the answers, it didn't seem like Number One and Blood Saint Temple were working together. Or she had erased related information, and so even the name "Blood Saint Temple" might have disappeared from her memory. What could be deduced was that this had definitely been meticulously planned for a long time. "After confirming the destruction of the demon-suppressing monuments, what was your next move?" Senior Sister asked again. "I..." Number One opened her mouth to answer, but her face suddenly twisted, and her eyes' light intensified. "I intended... to... the... sword..." The Ultimate Senior Sister lying on the ground convulsed violently, and none of the girls dared to approach. After a while, she unexpectedly calmed down. "What exactly made you abandon hope in this world?" Tang Xin pressed for answers immediately. "Hope," Number One turned her head; her eyes lifeless. "This world never had any hope." After saying this, she maintained her posture and stopped breathing altogether. Little Broom mustered up the courage to check her, then turned to nod at her teammates. Number One had died... or rather, the consciousness residing in Ultimate Senior Sister's body had died, but her main consciousness still remained in the repair area. "Some foreign information caused changes in Number One that her creators couldn't foresee," Little Broom analyzed. "If she aimed to destroy the world... this is bad!" "From what I said, she knows the Blood Saint Temple's goal aligns with hers," Tang Xin also realized the danger. "Then she will undoubtedly choose to assist!" After securing the body of Ultimate Senior Sister, Tang Xin led the other two out of the core area and followed the route to the forbidden zone gate. Boom— Boom— Boom! Spiritual boats collided, high-level experts clashed, and the void became an incredibly dangerous place. And not far away, the previously tightly closed golden gate had already been opened at some unknown time. Number One was trying to let Blood Saint Temple in! "Members of the Nine States Alliance," Yulingzi's voice rang out on the battlefield. "Charge with me and block Blood Saint Temple outside the gate!" "Yes, Leader!" ---- Friendly Reminder: If you can't find the novel by searching its title, try the author's name. It might have just been renamed!
