Chapter 258: Zayne: Jade, Are You Willing To Trust Me?
[After all, the power bestowed by them was granted by the host to them via the system. However, the host doesn’t have control over their lives since their lives weren’t bestowed by the host.]
[Because of that, the host can only rightfully deprive them of their memories and power acquired from the simulation.]
After Zayne received that response from the system, he asked for clarification, ’Will they receive information regarding the simulator system?’
[No, the system’s existence is absolutely a secret. At most, they’d know that it’s due to the host’s divine power or something. In other words, the simulation and the power they’ve received is attributed as the host’s own power and not due to a system.]
[But even so, they’d have restrictions of being unable to reveal it to others. If they somehow managed to bypass the restrictions, the system will alarm the host about it, and then the host can decide what to do with them.]
Receiving that assurance, Zayne breathed a sigh of relief, ’It seems the simulator system had already thought this through and prepared countermeasures.’
’I had already guessed that Jade, Scarlet, and the others could be brought back into reality as a simulation reward, and it seems I was right.’
’My decision of allocating resources and developing a bond with them had paid off. I might be hesitant in entrusting my life to people in the real world, but I have plenty of room for trial and error in the doomsday life simulation.’
’Therefore, if it’s for the sake of finding trustworthy companions whom I can rely on with my life, spending a simulation chance to verify it is worth it. So far, Morvane and the others hadn’t betrayed my trust.’ freewebnσvel.cøm
Zayne was well aware that everything went smoothly because he had already screened them out using Hint Prompt (Gold).
Without Hint Prompt (Gold), it would be much more difficult to pick out the trustworthy allies from those with a hidden backstabbing nature.
Since he wouldn’t die in the doomsday life simulation, Zayne was willing to test their loyalty even if it would somewhat put him in danger.
Moreover, he doubted that he’d even be in danger, since Hint Prompt would give him a hint if they ever had rebellious thoughts. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
’Since Jade and the others can be brought into the real world, I no longer have to worry.’
Thinking of this, Zayne was relieved, but then he realized something.
’System, what if Jade died earlier than me? Can I still let her inherit the memories and power she had to her real-world self?’
Receiving Zayne’s question, the system immediately responded.
[The host doesn’t have to worry. Jade’s power and memories will be inherited in the real world and will appear as a simulation reward option.]
[The power and memories are based on their prime state or before their death, with their prime state being the top priority. If they ever encountered a situation where their power or memories are corrupted, they’ll be purified by the system.]
[So, from Jade’s perspective, it will be like she died in the simulation and then woke up with her memories and power back in the real world.]
[It’s somewhat similar to the host dying in the simulation and inheriting the power and memories from the simulation self. The only difference is that Jade wouldn’t know it’s a simulation, and her experience would be more akin to a Regressor.]
[As for the second category of people like Scarlet and Astraea, they’d think it’s the host who resurrected them rather than it being a regression.]
[Of course, for the first category like Jade, even if she experienced it like a regression, she’d still instinctively know that it’s the host behind this.]
Receiving that reply from the Doomsday Life Simulator System, Zayne already got the answers to his question.
With all his questions already answered, he didn’t hesitate to continue the doomsday life simulation and immerse himself in it.
[After you finished your conversation with your system, you recalled what Jade had decided.]
[Faced with her determination to sacrifice herself for your sake, you hugged Jade back in return while asking, "Jade, are you willing to trust me?"]
[Knowing that you could preserve Jade’s memories and power even after her death, you no longer worried about losing her.]
[Faced with your question, Jade looked up to you, her jade-green eyes staring at your icy blue eyes.]
[Opening her mouth, she honestly answered, "Of course I trust you, darling."]
[Receiving her answer, you hugged Jade tighter and enjoyed the time you spent with her.]
[After this train conductor trial incident, you don’t know if your plan to resurrect her would succeed or not. If not, then this might be the last time you’d be able to enjoy her presence and company.]
[Feeling the warmth of your embrace, Jade knew that you had already made up your mind to sacrifice her.]
[However, Jade never resented you. As she had mentioned, she trusted you to the point that for your sake, she was willing to sacrifice her life just so that you could live.]
[Having already made your decision, you asked the World Will for clarification.]
["World Will, how does the sacrifice work? If the sacrifice requires the death of Jade, can I preserve her life and even resurrect her?"]
[-Ding!]
{The sacrifice ritual requires either of you to kill the other. Any power, weapon, or medium used for killing can be used, as long as it’s the Train Conductor who is behind the kill.}
{As for the matter of life preservation and resurrection, it’s extremely difficult, but not impossible.}
{However, be warned that since the Train Conductor Authority has already been embedded into the soul of the Train Conductor, just like most authorities, the sacrifice will cause the Train Conductor Authority within Jade’s body to not only use her power as nutrients to complete itself, but taking it from Jade’s soul will also damage her soul in the process.}
{So, not only would you have to restore Jade’s soul, but even if she is resurrected, she’ll lose all her power.}
{At that point, when Jade is resurrected without her Train Conductor Authority, her state is similar to that of other Train Crewmates and will be treated as such.}
