Chapter 58: Who Is This Heroine Now?

A situation Hall never expected had occurred.

He had actually felt something was off midway through.

The puzzle-solving process was tedious, but it was definitely not as many steps as in the game. Several key steps were missing, which had puzzled him for a long time.

He wondered if he had made a mistake in some step before.

Of course, the most fatal thing was that when the Rainbow Sky Sword’s puzzle was solved, a dazzling rainbow light would appear in this area of the fortieth floor.

It would definitely attract the attention of others on this floor.

It might even attract Himan.

So he was planning to grab the sword and run.

But now, it was telling him the sword was gone?

“Could it really have been taken by someone? Then it must be a certain heroine… but at this point in the timeline, besides Christine’s route, the other heroines’ routes haven’t fully started. It doesn’t make sense for them to come here to get the sword.”

And the grade of Christine’s own exclusive weapon was higher than that of the Rainbow Sky Sword. There was no reason for Christine to come to the fortieth floor to solve a puzzle and get a sword.

What the hell was going on?

Hall stood there in a daze for a while.

Thinking about which part had gone wrong.

Then he felt that it wouldn’t do to be so clueless, so he decided to return to the safe area.

He took out his Black Knight Order ID and his identity as the young master of the Faxtius family, and found the records office on the fortieth floor.

Then he got the annals of the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

This recorded the major events that had happened in the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

In the game, only players who had completed a certain number of exploration or patrol missions in the Demon God’s Labyrinth issued by the Adventurer’s Guild or the Papal State government could view it.

But now, what was his identity?

After getting it, he directly started flipping through the events on the fortieth floor.

Sure enough, it was written that six years ago, someone had witnessed a rainbow phenomenon on the fortieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth, and the phenomenon had lasted for half a day before disappearing.

“Someone took it first, but… six years ago, none of the heroine’s routes had started. The development of the whole game should have been in the normal process.”

Hall guessed the ending, but he didn’t know the process.

In the game, the Rainbow Sky Sword was a must-get weapon. Anyway, he had never seen the Rainbow Sky Sword disappear inexplicably.

But now the Rainbow Sky Sword was gone, which meant that in any heroine’s route, the heroines couldn’t obtain it.

Could it be that the game had a bug?

“Young Master Hall, what is this?”

The female attendant who had come to the data room with Hall was a little panicked.

The annals of the Demon God’s Labyrinth were part of their daily work as clerical staff. The College of Cardinals attached great importance to it and would regularly send people to check on the preservation and recording situation.

She was thinking, could Hall be the one who had come to inspect secretly this year?

“Nothing. Is there a personnel list?”

“Personnel list, which year do you want, Young Master?”

The list of adventurers entering and leaving the Demon God’s Labyrinth was also recorded.

On the surface, it was said to ensure everyone’s safety. If an adventurer didn’t return for a long time, they would send people to search.

But this kind of practice was just a stopgap measure. It was very likely that they had met with a mishap, and at most, their bodies would be recovered.

But they didn’t dare to be negligent about this either.

“Bring the entry and exit lists for the past ten years.”

Hall thought for a moment and replied.

If he specified a certain year, the College of Cardinals might become suspicious if they found out.

Moreover, if his deduction was correct, a very terrible fact would emerge.

Seeing Hall’s serious expression, the female attendant didn’t dare to be negligent.

She started to search through the materials in the data room.

Soon, she got the list of adventurers who had explored the fortieth floor in the past ten years.

It was ten quite thick books.

“You can go out first. I’ll notify you when I’m done.”

“Yes, Young Master Hall.”

After the female attendant left, Hall finally directly selected the list of people who had entered and exited the fortieth floor six years ago.

Six years ago, the person who had taken the Rainbow Sky Sword and caused the phenomenon was in here.

And according to the annals, six years ago, the fortieth floor had not yet been partially conquered, and the official safe area was only the outpost at the junction of the thirty-ninth and fortieth floors.

His fingers flew through the directory of the list. The names of every adventurer who had come here were recorded.

After about half an hour.

Hall finally saw that familiar name in the corner.

—Hall Faxtius.

“Six years ago, did I take the Rainbow Sky Sword?”

Regarding this result that he had somewhat guessed.

Hall was only briefly shocked before he immediately closed the list from six years ago.

When he went to get the sword just now, he did have a sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before.

But if that was the case, he had also lost this memory.

How strange.

The memories he had lost were almost all identical to things that had not happened in the original game.

In the game, it should have been a certain heroine who came to take the Rainbow Sky Sword many years later.

But he had taken it in advance, but now he had no memory of taking the Rainbow Sky Sword.

And, if he had really taken the Rainbow Sky Sword, where was the Rainbow Sky Sword now?

Hall fell into deep thought. He had no memory.

The only information he had about the Rainbow Sky Sword was from when he was playing the game.

“If I had been reincarnated into this world long ago, and carried the memories of the game from before my reincarnation, then I would have also tried to survive, and taking the Rainbow Sky Sword would definitely be reasonable.”

Hall straightened out his logic.

Outrageous.

Very outrageous.

If he thought about it this way, could it be that some of the important puzzles in the other places on the first to fortieth floors of the Demon God had also been solved by him before he lost his memory?

To take it a step further, even if he had taken so many resources, he still lost his memory.

Although he didn’t know why he had amnesia, but…

He was going to give up.

From this logic, it seemed that there was no hope of survival even if he tried hard.

Hall calmed down on the spot and quickly entered sage mode.

Giving up was giving up, but he still had to live.

“If I try to find the reason for my amnesia now, it will probably trigger a dangerous plot. I’ll take it one step at a time. A fiancée, a few heroines, and…”

There were too many problems in front of him.

He might as well go back and look at the little maid to please his eyes.

Then, Hall left the data room.

He planned to go back to the puzzle-solving location of the Rainbow Sky Sword to see if there were any clues, and then go home.

But when he arrived again.

At the entrance of this underground valley, he suddenly felt an abnormal aura.

A rainbow-colored flying sword flashed out of the darkness.

Hall subconsciously dodged.

“Yo, it seems your skills haven’t regressed much.”

A strange female voice sounded from the darkness.

The black-haired young man’s attention was on the flying sword that had already been inserted into the stone wall next to him.

That thing…

Was the Rainbow Sky Sword.

The magnificent seven-colored sword body was also quite rare in the entire fantasy world view game.

“Who are you?”

He didn’t go to pick up the weapon. He knew he had triggered a strange plot.

Because the game’s freedom was too high, and there were too many routes and texts, the original game basically had no plot voice acting, only the voice acting when the characters released their special skills.

So it was also very difficult for him to identify the character by voice.

But he could be sure it was a woman.

“I came to return an old thing, hehe… Congratulations on having a fiancée.”

Hall couldn’t distinguish this tone.

He just thought warily, who was this heroine from the game now?
