Chapter 561 Golden Thread

This feels even stranger. I was just experiencing phantom pain, but looking at this thing, it's really hard for me not to imagine the pain of my own brain being poked.

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she frowned, as if the imagined pain had already truly befallen her.

Seeing this, Melos hesitated for a moment, but still decided to listen to Lin Xiyue and continue the action he had just taken.

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, trying to shift her attention away from that terrifying thing, but her eyes seemed to be under a spell, unable to look away.

There's really no way to do it!

Lin Xiyue has a remarkably rich imagination.

Especially when reading certain articles, she is particularly prone to empathy when she encounters plot points, such as the protagonist accidentally stepping on a nail.

It's like how, even though she didn't actually eat the lemon, just seeing it made her mouth water.

And at this moment, the situation is even more serious.

She was watching as Meros stabbed something straight into her head, and she could even feel a tiny, slight sensation!

Even though she didn't actually feel any pain in that scene, just seeing it was enough for her to imagine that excruciating pain in her mind.

[Yes, actually, the human brain doesn't have the ability to feel pain. :)]

The system suddenly interrupted, directly correcting what Lin Xiyue had said earlier.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Xiyue became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

She felt that the system's interruption at this time was inappropriate and made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

Shut up! Who asked you?!

I'm just describing it, you know, describing it!

Lin Xiyue shouted at the system in an annoyed tone.

Her tone carried dissatisfaction with the system, and she seemed quite annoyed by the system's meddling.

Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, I'll shut up.

The system seemed to realize its mistake and quickly said something.

Then, quite fittingly, it simulated the sound of a zipper jamming, as if it were zipping up its mouth, indicating that it would no longer speak.

In the brief few seconds that Lin Xiyue and the system were arguing, Moros, with lightning speed, took advantage of Lin Xiyue's lack of awareness and decisively shoved the mysterious ball of light into her head.

When Lin Xiyue came to her senses, the ball of light had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

However, she could clearly feel that Meros's palm was still pressed firmly against her brow, showing no sign of loosening.

【Amo... Huh?!】

A strange unease welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart, and she subconsciously wanted to call out to Mo Luosi to put her mind at ease.

However, when she tried to make a sound, what she wanted to say turned into a surprised question.

Because Lin Xiyue saw Molos's actions.

She stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, incredulous.

It can be clearly seen that after Meros's hand left his head, there was a golden, shimmering thread between his two fingers.

One end of the thread was held tightly in Meros's hand, while the other end, as if alive, was tightly connected to Lin Xiyue's forehead.

Even when Meros gently tugged at the shimmering golden thread, Lin Xiyue could actually feel a slight tugging sensation on her forehead.

The feeling was so eerie, as if an invisible force was trying to pull her soul out of her body.

Lin Xiyue's body trembled involuntarily, her brows furrowed tightly, and her heart was filled with unease and fear.

This unprecedented experience made her feel like something was wrong with her, as if she had lost control of her body.

"Um, Amo, what... what exactly is going on?"

Lin Xiyue's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were almost crossed, because she kept staring intently at the gold thread in Molos's hand, afraid that something might happen.

[Weren't we supposed to be merging souls? What are we doing now?]

Lin Xiyue's throat was dry. She swallowed hard and continued to question Moros.

She simply couldn't bear the feeling of being pulled, and if Meros hadn't told her beforehand that this was a fusion of souls, she probably would have thought she was about to be made into a doll.

Like those puppets in horror movies, made of wood and pulled by strings.

[It's about merging souls, don't worry, it'll be quick.]

Meros's voice was deep and gentle, as if it could penetrate one's soul, making one feel incredibly at ease.

His gaze, like the warm sun in spring, gently fell upon Lin Xiyue, his tenderness rippling like waves.

Lin Xiyue looked at Molos quietly. Although she still felt a little uneasy, her emotions gradually calmed down under his reassurance.

She could feel Meros's fingers gently touching her brow; it was a strange sensation, both warm and slightly stinging.

Melos moved swiftly and precisely. Without hesitation, he stretched out his finger and wrapped the glowing golden thread connecting Lin Xiyue's brow inch by inch around his index finger.

In his hands, the gold thread coiled obediently like a tamed snake, each loop tight and even, without the slightest deviation.

Meros's fingers were long and nimble, and his movements were as natural and fluid as flowing water.

The gold threads wrapped more and more around his finger, forming a simple gold ring on his index finger. The ring kept growing, as if there was no end in sight.

Meros's movements were as fast as lightning, leaving everyone speechless.

In just a few seconds, his index finger pressed against Lin Xiyue's forehead.

The golden thread was taut between his index finger and Lin Xiyue's brow, like a taut bowstring that would make a crisp sound if plucked.

Just then, Meros's index finger suddenly bent slightly, and the taut gold thread instantly relaxed a little.

This seemingly insignificant change was like solving a key puzzle, subtly altering the entire situation.

Immediately afterwards, Meros's hand withdrew swiftly like the wind, and at the same time, his fingers loosened the golden thread wrapped around it with astonishing speed.

The golden thread, like a released spring, rapidly unfolded in circles, radiating dazzling golden light, resembling a slender golden dragon darting rapidly through the solution.
