角色故事•三（解鎖條件：角色等級60）
自他踏入「純美」的命途後，在苦修之路上，各類不同的「試煉」便逐漸展現——
或是出自祈願，或是出自懺悔，或以三重魔鬼的形式降下密語紛擾。

而當他以無畏的「槍」，心懷榮譽地斬下三重魔鬼誘惑後，軟弱、貪婪、雜念皆被抹去。
他將奉獻靈魂與生命在純美星神的腳下。

三重魔鬼的密語正如形態不同的囈言，它們在紛雜霧中幻化成各色人類慾念：
是庸俗逐利，是不恥罪孽；是權力王冠，是魅惑之音；
是戰戮巔峰，是飲食大欲；是忘記懺悔，是常情而已。

他的血將伴隨着榮譽灑在戰場上，殷紅一滴一滴與長發絞在一起。他的長槍放在這裏，神祝福它永遠鋒利——
已故師者、同行者的聲音都化作囈語縈繞耳邊，除非他的主人低頭，它將永不折斷。

在他於血液的浸泡中，幾乎失去意識之時，他終於聽到了不知來自何地的囈語：

「你們阻絕惡名，你們宣揚美譽，你們是『純美騎士團』。
每次勝利時，你們都要一次次看到自己，看到自己想作惡的心。」

「恭喜你，又一次通過『鏡之試煉』。」

Since embarking on the Path of Beauty, a path of asceticism, he had faced numerous trials. Some presented themselves as prayers, others as opportunities for repentance, and still others as the seductive whispers of the Triple Demons.

Fearlessly, he confronted these temptations with an unwavering lance and an indomitable spirit. With each victory, his weaknesses, greed, and distractions dissolved into oblivion. He pledged to offer his soul and life at the feet of the Aeon of Beauty.

The profane words of the Triple Demons resembled fragmented ravings, morphing into manifestations of human desires.
They embodied the crass pursuit of personal gain, shameless indulgence in sin, the allure of power, and the enticement of battle and worldly pleasures.
Their aim was to erode repentance and replace it with the banality of common sense.

His blood mingled with his flowing locks on the battlefield, with each crimson droplet intertwined with honor. His lance stood resolute at his side, blessed by the divine to retain its everlasting sharpness.
The echoes of his esteemed master and comrades transformed into whispers. His spear would never yield, even if his master had succumbed to evil temptations.

Drenched in blood, teetering on the precipice of consciousness, he finally discerned a faint murmur that seemed to emanate from the very fabric of existence.

"You defy infamy. You proclaim glory. You are the Knights of Beauty.
With each triumph, you must confront yourselves anew, peering into the depths of your hearts and acknowledging the potential for malevolence."

"Congratulations! Once again, you have triumphed in the Trial of Reflection."

角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
騎士團對如何秉持「純美」態度各不相同：
有人以一生貫徹自己的信念；有人不斷假設，不斷絕望推翻假設；
有人獲得授勳，征戎沙場；有人自認是鐘樓陋人，羞於接受「純美」的華袍；

不變的是眾人皆在宇宙中苦苦尋找「伊德莉拉」的真身。
他發誓牢記謙卑，憐憫，公正，一路從未違背過誓言；他將「純美」戒律銘記於心，信仰也變得愈發偏執。
「怪人…純美騎士真是一群怪人！」

自「伊德莉拉」可能已死的流言傳播於宇宙後，他們的惶惑更甚：
更多地虔誠，卻對應更多地不解；更多地大笑，卻對應更多地怪異。
於洪荒中往回窺視，各類「榮譽」、「美名」、「惡名」皆在冗長時間中湮滅。

一切的最後。

當他再次遇見往日同行的「騎士」時，對方已變成迷失在追求力量之路上的審美者。
那位曾經高舉傳奇武器，弒殺吞天巨獸的英雄，其鎧甲化為巨獸的鱗皮，其武器成為無法取下的爪牙，其血成了粘稠躁動的火焰，其雙眸只余野性而無人智，曾經喚他「摯友」的聲音，如今只余嘶嘶的叫聲。

試煉的話語化為「終末」的預言，近在眼前：
自己，又是否…會同樣墮為「惡兆」？

The knights embraced diverse approaches in their pursuit of Beauty.
Some fervently embodied their beliefs until their final days, while others grappled with assumptions and defied heresies that could lead them into despair.
Some adorned themselves in armor and waged battles, while others saw themselves as unworthy, considering themselves the "ugly ones" unable to don the robe of beauty.

Yet, the unchanging truth remained in their collective quest to unravel the enigma of Idrila in the vast universe.
He vowed to uphold humility, mercy, and justice, remaining steadfast in honoring his oaths along the arduous path.
"Those freaks!... The Knights of Beauty are a bunch of freaks!"

As rumors of Idrila's demise spread throughout the cosmos, their perplexity deepened.
Piety intermingled with doubt, and laughter intertwined with lunacy.
Notions of honor, reputation, and infamy dissolved into nothingness.

This marked the end of everything.

When he finally encountered his former comrade, he found a knight who had become a fanatic, lost in a blind pursuit of power.
The former hero who had wielded a legendary weapon and vanquished the sky devourer had degenerated into a beast. His armor transformed into the scaly hide of the behemoth he had slain, his weapon into unyielding claws and fangs, and his blood into a viscous and restless flame. His eyes, once filled with wisdom, now burned with untamed wildness. The voice that had once addressed him as "my dear friend" had dwindled to a hissing cry.

The words spoken during the trial carried the weight of an impending prophecy, signaling the looming end.
Will he, himself... succumb to the clutches of the Omen of Evil?

In the Silverchain Galaxy, a rare once-in-a-hundred-Amber-Era ion storm approached. A young woman from a family involved in the jewelry trade stood on the terrace, gazing out at a sky inundated with unusual colors.

"It's time to leave, miss. Mr. Horus has hired an entire starship, and we need to make our way to Basvia Starport for shelter."
"But the commoners in the Silverchain have not heard of the storm, no?"
"We don't have a choice. It's to prevent possible riots."
"...Leave if you want, but I'll stay here and seek that lady's help."
"But this ion storm will obliterate all your wealth..."
"There are always things that can't be measured simply by price, such as... kindness and life."
The aged butler let out a deep sigh.

The young lady walked into the pawn shop.
"Welcome to Bonajade Exchange. Who are you? And what do you seek?"
An unfamiliar and elegant voice rang from behind the curtain.
"Oh, kind lady. The worries in your soul seem as turbulent as the raging calamity in the Silverchain Galaxy."
The speaker in the shadows emitted a warm light. The young lady looked up anxiously.
"Yes, this is why I'm here. I seek... for a hope."
"A hope of saving the Silverchain Galaxy, I see. What price will you pay in return?"
"The Oceanic Dream, the Sacred Blood, and the Jewel of the Century... Each of these gems would be sufficient to redeem ownership of an asteroid..."
"You know they are not nearly enough."
"A lease on a third of the Silverchain Galaxy's mining industry... and the contract lasts for eternity."
"Your sincerity is impressive, but I'm afraid that's still not enough."
"But I don't have anything else to give to you..."
"Do you believe that everything in this world can be traded?"
A hand reached out from the darkness, white and slender.
The young lady looked up, and the flicker that was fading in her eyes began to pulsate anew.
"I will bring peace to the Silverchain Galaxy. As for the price... I want the entirety of you."
"You will become the IPC's agent in the Silverchain Galaxy. From this moment on, every huff of your breath and every minute of your life will contribute to the Amber Lord's great cause..."
"Until the very end of your life."

說這話時，男人始終看着窗外。庇爾波因特的黃昏是紫紅色的，林立的高樓反射出歐泊石般七彩的光芒。
「我的意見恰恰相反。自然死亡的獵物…有什麼樂趣可言？」
圓桌的另一邊，女士輕晃着手中的酒杯，那酒是血紅色的。

「和二位不同，我只是一名商人。」
翡翠起身，微笑着結束了陳述。她知曉這個結果，這房間裏的三人從來不會達成共識。
「所以我擅長的，也無非是在一場又一場交易中，等待最關鍵的那筆投資出現。
「那些身處絕境的人們，他們甘願付出一切去實現自身的欲求，所以這些欲求也會賜予他們無與倫比的力量。

"The Silverchain Galaxy has been officially included in the IPC's commercial sphere. Our profits for the next cycle are expected to increase by 47%."
Three P46-level representatives sat around the table in an opulent conference room.

"That place should just get destroyed by the ion storm, straightforward and simple."
The man kept his gaze fixed at the window as he talked. The dusk in Pier Point is purplish red, while the towering buildings reflected the opalescent glow.
"My opinion is the opposite. Prey that dies a natural death... what fun is there in that?"
The woman sitting across the round table remarked, gently swirling the wine in her goblet, red as blood.

"I am unlike the two of you. I am simply a merchant."
Jade rose, smiling as she finished her statement. She knew this outcome would come to pass, that there was no chance of the three people in this room coming to an agreement.
"My expertise is but waiting for that critical investment to present itself in transaction after transaction."
"The desperate will give anything to see their desires manifest, and these desires will also imbue them with unparalleled power."
"Witness: The Silverchain Galaxy that once rejected the IPC have now become reliable allies of the 'Strategic Investment Department.'"
"So, look forward to it. The seeds I plant today will be sown as tomorrow's fruits."

邊星地帶有着這樣的傳說：當陷入絕望時，可懷揣捨棄一切的覺悟向星際和平公司請願。若你有幸，一位來者不拒的放債人將會出現。

「歡迎光臨『慈玉典押』。來者何人，所求何物？」
她重複着這句問候，靜待群星間的欲望朝她湧來。

貌美的舞者向她求取容顏永駐的可能，她收走她的部分壽命，為她打開博識學會的大門。一次又一次，舞者重拾青春年華離開慈玉典押，又因衰老再度歸來。直到某一日，她掩面離去，再也沒有回來。

亡國的軍人將情感盡數抵押，以換取復仇的可能。在失去所有的悲傷和憤怒後，他變成了戰爭的機器。往昔的敵人被盡數殲滅，他也永遠留在了昨日，只留下化為廢墟的焦土——它們在日後成了公司的屬地。

還有一對巴維魯夫婦，以自己的記憶為代價，向她換取純粹的財富。他們在生命的不同階段來到慈玉典押，換取金錢，換取聲名，換取地位…直至將記憶揮霍一空。他們度過了幸福的一生，只是最後忘記了所有。

無論何物都能在「慈玉典押」用作抵押，哪怕一貧如洗也有機會魚躍龍門。
「什麼慈善事業！她是個魔女！一個喜歡收藏靈魂的惡魔！」
「一定不要和她說任何話，否則，你將一無所有……」
「那位慈玉女士？她不可能是這樣的人，如果沒有她的資助，我的故鄉早就淪為殖民地了。」

她聽着星間關於自己的傳言，並不在意。
「是非善惡，只在人的一念之間。」

In the Borderlands, there exists a legend that when one is in utter despair and ready to give up everything they have, they may request the IPC's help, and if fortune favors them, a moneylender, who never declines any client, will arrive.

"Welcome to the Bonajade Exchange. Who are you? And what do you seek?"
For countless times, she repeated the greeting, awaiting the desires from the entire cosmos to surge toward her.

A beautiful dancer came to her, seeking the possibility of eternal beauty. She took a portion of her lifespan and granted her access to the Intelligentsia Guild. Time and time again, the dancer regained her youthful years, only to return again when age caught up with her. Until one day, she left hiding her face in her hands, never to return.

A soldier from a fallen country pledged all his emotions for the chance of vengeance. Having lost all grief and anger, he transformed into a war machine sowing death. Eventually, he eradicated all his former enemies and was forever trapped in his past, leaving only scorched earth in the aftermath — territories that later fell under the IPC's possession.

A couple from Baviru traded their memories in exchange for absolute wealth. They visited her Bonajade Exchange at different stages of their lives, seeking wealth, fame, and social standing... until they had squandered all of their memories. They lived a content life, only to forget it all in the end.

Rumor circulated that anything could be used as collateral at the Bonajade Exchange, and even those without any possessions would have a chance to gain a new lease of life.
"You call that charity?! Nah, she's an evil witch! A cursed demon who enjoys collecting souls!"
"Never ever talk to her, or you'll end up losing everything..."
"You're talking about Lady Bonajade? No, she's not like that at all! Without her help, my hometown would have been taken over as a colony ages ago."
...
She listens to the rumors about her circulating among the stars, but she pays them no mind.
"There is but a thin line between right and wrong, and good and evil."
"Once a desire, however tiny it is, is ignited, more desires will ensue. All that we need to do is to... wait and reap."
She meticulously counted her collections, the remnants of people's burning desires.

這一天，又有兩個年輕人叩響了大門。門無聲無息向後打開，隱隱綽綽的煙霧中，她停下了用天平稱量抵押物的動作，為兩位到訪者斟上了清茶。

「如我所料，歐泊還是選擇了你去辦匹諾康尼這案子。不過…你似乎又多了一位同盟者呢。」
她示意他們坐下，華貴的座椅上還留着上一位客人的餘溫。
「為了收回匹諾康尼的壞債，你們需要什麼？」
「你的基石。」少年看向她的眼睛。
「第一次有人提出這樣的要求，那你們願意付出什麼？」她微笑道。
「我們的基石。」少女說。
「還有我的命。要在匹諾康尼撕開一道口子，我別無選擇。」少年深不見底的眼瞳中，光一閃而過。

和他們眼神相觸的時候，往日種種一閃而過，最終定格在她與二人初遇的畫面。
她輕輕嘆息，將代表匹諾康尼的微縮模型置於天平一端。
「我們有各自的來路，也有各自的歸宿。」
托帕石落在天平的另一端。
「這段同行的路可以長，也可以短…但只要還未行至終點，我們就必須履行立下的契約。」
砂金石接着落下。
「這世上不存在無價之物，一切都可被衡量、抵押、交易……」

「現在，用它們去換取匹諾康尼的明天吧。」

On a different day, two young individuals arrived at her door. The door swung open silently, revealing a room veiled in smoke. Amidst the smoke, she momentarily paused her evaluation of collateral on the scales, and graciously offered fresh tea for her visitors.

"As I anticipated, Opal chose you to handle the Penacony case, but it seems... you've found a new ally."
She remarked, gesturing for them to take a seat on the ornate chairs that still retained warmth from the previous visitor.
"What do you need to collect bad debts owed by Penacony?"
"Your Cornerstone." the young man replied, meeting her gaze.
"Well, this is the first time anyone has asked for such a thing. What price will you pay in return?" she asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"Our Cornerstones." the young lady replied.
"And my life, too. I have no choice except that if I want to tear open a gash in Penacony." A glimmer of light flickered within the bottomless pupils of the young man.

When their eyes met, various memories of the past flickered past, then settled on the image of her first encounter with these two.
She let out a soft sigh, placing a miniature model of Penacony on one end of the scale.
"Each of us has our own beginnings and endings."
The topaz stone was placed on the other end of the scale.
"This journey together may be long or short, but as long as we haven't reached the end, we must honor our contract."
The aventurine stone followed.
"In this world, nothing is truly beyond value. Everything can be measured, leveraged, and traded..."
In the end, the jade stone was placed on the scale, and the scales tipped completely and fell.
"Now, let's trade them for the future of Penacony."

Trial System: "A Evil Ninja wicked words are nothing but nonsense!" You brush aside his sarcastic remarks, but the monkeys chasing you are getting under your skin. Ignoring him, you take down all the pursuing enemies.
System Message: The ninja has decided to "Save a life."
System Message: The ninja's morale is rising rapidly!
System Message: User "Dazzling Ninja" has gained 20,000 XP and obtained "Ninja Soul", which raises the maximum morale!
Trial System: You no longer doubt yourself, even dismissing the nonsense intended to judge you.
Trial System: They all say you are a pathetic insect, immersed in your own delusions.
Trial System: But are they truly any different?

>>歡迎進入屬於你自己的忍者•遊戲！>>

試煉系統：這是你成為繚亂忍俠之後第三十三場戰鬥，你追獵御猿•邪忍的足跡，從他的邪惡之手中拯救出一個個世界。
試煉系統 ：你看着眼前被自己炸毀的地窖，陽光穿透牆洞，春風第一次湧入這個巨大的洞穴。
試煉系統：眼前是一個被「御猿•邪忍」矇騙二十年的軍•火村。生活於地下的村民認為外界充滿戰爭，甘願退化成為製造武器的工具。
試煉系統：咿呀！但你完全了解居民的真實想法。他們依賴那個戰爭的謊言，以築成內心虛假的幸福與滿足感。
試煉系統：因此，他們對未來充滿懷疑。

當地居民：「當我們相信地上戰爭未止，而我們卻能在安全地舉行婚禮與葬禮時，我們因享受了他人難得的生活而感到幸福。」
當地居民：「當我們被告知地上的軍隊需要靠『地下』的武器製造來贏下戰爭時，我們因同樣有生而為人的價值而感到幸福。」
當地居民：「你說戰爭早已結束？過去的生活是軍火商的謊言？那、那這20年我們付出的一切是為了什麼！？」
系統消息：忍者正在被不明真相的當地居民質問。
系統消息：忍者的士氣緩慢下降。
試煉系統：但就如所有受到御猿•邪忍殘害的世界，倘若置之不顧，他們和後代終將遭受更多實驗的痛苦。
試煉系統：就像曾經的你一樣。
試煉系統：請問，現在的你如何選擇？
選擇：
1、堅守忍道。
試煉系統：「忍俠之道，扶正祛邪。斬滅世間惡孽，是在下欲攀的高天。」
試煉系統：你使用空手道讓地窖又坍塌了一面牆，更多的陽光涌了進來，有些人往裏縮得更深，有些人正朝外走去。
2、棄之不顧。
試煉系統：你沒有再為「真相」辯駁，你尊重他們的想法。你黯然離去，順便解決了地上的軍•火邪忍。你心想，圍牆已破，他們終會被陽光吸引。
系統消息：忍者選擇了【堅守忍道】。
系統消息：用戶【繚亂•忍俠】經驗+30000，獲得可提升堅韌度上限的【繚亂•忍道】！
試煉系統：軍•火村新出生的生命以驚人的速度適應着真實世界。你欣慰地看到，他們能夠幸福無憂地長大成人。
試煉系統：恭喜你，又一個村莊擺脫了邪祟——但你雲遊驅魔的速度，遠比不上御猿•邪忍危害四方的效率。
試煉系統：你來不及有一絲疲憊，接下來，你該往何處去？

>>Initializing system...>>

>>Welcome to your unique ninja game!>>

Trial System: This is your thirty-third battle since you became the Dazzling Ninja. You have been chasing after Evil Ninja Osaru and liberating world after world from his evil grasp.
Trial System: You gaze at the cellar that you exploded. The sunlight is piercing through the hole in the wall, the spring breeze pouring into this vast cavern for the first time.
Trial System: Before you lies a firearm village that has been ensnared by Evil Ninja Osaru's deceit for two decades. The inhabitants dwelling underground believed that the surface world is engulfed in endless wars, willingly regressing themselves into tools manufacturing weapons.
Trial System: Hee-ya! But you know perfectly well what the locals really think. They rely on that lie of endless wars to build a facade of happiness and fulfillment within themselves.
Trial System: As a result, they are skeptical of the future.

Local Resident: "When we believed that the war on the surface hadn't ended, yet we were able to live here peacefully, holding weddings and funerals in safety, we felt happy because we were enjoying a rare happiness in these troubled days."
Local Resident: "When we were told that the army on the surface needed the weapons manufactured underground to win the war, we similarly felt happy because we had value as humans."
Local Resident: "What? You say the war had long ended? And that everything was a lie from those arms dealers? I-if this is true, what's the meaning of everything we gave up in the last twenty years?!"
System Message: The ninja is being questioned by a local resident who has been kept in the dark.
System Message: The ninja's morale is slowly declining.
Trial Message: However, this is simply one of the many worlds crippled by the tyranny of Evil Ninja Osaru. If you leave them unattended, they and their future generations will suffer more anguish from the experiments.
Trial System: Just like you once did.
Trial System: What would you do now?
Your Decision:
1. Stay true to your way of the ninja.
Trial System: "My way of the ninja is a sacred oath to vanquish evil and uphold justice. To cleanse this world of all corruption is the heaven that I aspire to."
Trial System: Using your karate skills, you smash down another wall to the dungeon, letting more sunlight flood in. Some people retreat, seeking shelter in the darkness, while others muster their courage and step into the light.
2. Leave them be.
Trial System: You choose to respect their beliefs, refrain from arguing about the "truth," and leave in sorrow. By the way, you uproot all the Evil Ninja arms dealers above ground. You believe that as the walls have been torn down, one day they will be drawn to the sunlight once more.
System Message: The ninja has decided to stay true to the way of the ninja.
System Message: User "Dazzling Ninja Hero" has gained 30,000 XP and obtained "Way of the Dazzling Ninja," which increases maximum Toughness!
Trial System: The new generations of the village, once an arms-producing center, are adapting to the real world at an amazing rate. You are relieved to see them grow up carefree and lead happy lives.
Trial System: Congratulations! You have freed another village from evil, but the rate of your travelling salvation is far slower than the havoc wrought by Evil Ninja Osaru on the universe.
Trial System: You can't afford to take a breather. Where will you go next?

試煉系統：瓦修！限時任務！
試煉系統：你驚訝地發現自己掉入了宇宙的奇洞，進入了一段特殊的幻想故事線——「如果我不曾是忍俠」。
試煉系統：年幼的你不用再吞服蘊含過量忍•力的密藥，不用遭受雷遁忍法的折磨，心智不再受縛於模因病毒。
試煉系統：假若你不是忍俠，會想成為什麼樣的人，會擁有怎樣不同的人生？
繚亂•忍俠：「不知道，我從來沒想過這個問題。」
試煉系統：果然，狩獵邪忍，弘揚忍道——這項行動原則簡直是被刻進了你的所有肌骨。所以，還是由我來為你提供選擇吧：

選擇：
1、熱血漫畫家。
試煉系統：繪畫是你自幼時便興起的愛好，你閱覽了各式各樣的漫畫繪本，逐漸被那些絢爛的色彩和精彩的故事吸引，你想創造同樣令人熱血沸騰的角色與人生。你成為了倍受歡迎的熱血漫畫家。
2、金鍊子歌手。
試煉系統：你生活在遍地學究的研究所，他們張口閉口皆是生僻術語，或矯飾過頭的辭藻。他們矜持不苟，嚴明語法，諂媚權威…這使你厭煩了虛假庸常的言語。你將自己的真言吟誦成曲，成為了叛逆的歌手。
3、武道館教練。
試煉系統：你天生擁有超於常人的身體素質，專注於身體運動帶來的精神刺激…你成為了武道館教練和宇宙空手道大師。
試煉系統：面對這些人生原本應有的不同可能，你茫然無措。它們沒有仇恨伴行，也無使命束縛，不用辨明複雜的善惡，擁抱自己抉擇的人生。如果有這樣的選擇和可能，你還想成為忍者嗎？
系統消息：忍者在此關中有足夠時間進行選擇。

>>遊戲暫停中>>

她摘下了臉上的目鏡，低頭若有所思。
「流晄憶町的超•幻境真是提出了一個有趣的問題，若在下未踏上繚亂忍道……」
那假繪的藍圖讓她陷入短暫的遐想，但她馬上就將這個問題拋到了腦後——
「但除非天下邪祟除盡，否則此番假想也只是無根泡影。」
天際的流星已然升起，在忍俠的狩獵完成之前，必須心無旁騖，其餘皆為一瞬雜念。
繚亂•忍俠壓低帽檐，沒有任何猶豫，向真正的試煉之處躍去。

>>Welcome to your unique ninja game!>>

Trial system: Voila! Limited-time Quest!
Trial System: To your surprise, you find yourself in a singularity of the universe, experiencing another life in a parallel world..."If I were not a Ninja Hero."
Trial System: When you were young, you did not consume the secret pill containing excessive ninja power or suffer from the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, and now your mind is no longer restrained by the memetic virus.
Trial System: If you weren't the Ninja Hero, who would you become? And what different life would you have?
Dazzling Ninja Hero: "I don't know. I've never thought about this."
Trial System: Sure enough, eradicating evil and promoting the way of the ninja have been etched into your flesh and become your breath. Therefore, I'll offer you some choices.

Your Decision:
1. Shounen manga artist.
Trial System: Drawing has been a hobby of yours since childhood. As you read various manga, you became attracted to the brilliant colors and exciting stories. You wanted to create characters and stories that were equally thrilling. Fueled by your passion, you became a popular manga artist.
2. Rebellious rapper.
Trial System: You lived in an institute full of pedants who spoke in archaic terms and overly pretentious rhetoric. Their reserved, grammatically rigorous style and their fawning on authority bored you with their language full of falsehoods. You composed your own truth into songs and became a rebellious singer.
3. Martial arts instructor.
Trial System: You were born with superior physical qualities and focused on the mental stimulation brought about by physical exercise... You became a martial arts instructor, a master of cosmic karate.
Trial System: You are at a loss when faced with these various possibilities of what your life could have been. In these possibilities, you are not driven by hatred or responsibility, and you no longer need to distinguish good from evil. All you need to do is embrace the life of your choice. If there were such choices and possibilities, would you still want to be a ninja?
System Message: In this stage, the ninja will have enough time to make a choice.

She removes her goggles and looks down, lost in thought.
"That question posed to me in the Garden of Zencollection's super illusory realm is indeed interesting. If I hadn't embarked on my dazzling way of the ninja..."
The fake blueprint sends her into a brief reverie, but she quickly snaps out of it —
"But unless all the evil is eliminated from the world, that grand vision will remain nothing but a rootless imagination."
The stars rise in the sky, and the Ninja Hero must not allow any distractions until the hunt is complete. Compared to the hunt, everything else is insignificant.
The Dazzling Ninja Hero lowers her hat and leaps toward her final trial, without a trace of hesitation.

真的要看？

你確定？

算了，都滑到這了。後果概不負責。
【奇物檔案】
天才俱樂部#83黑塔女士的私人密藏品，由憶庭提供技術支持。僅供當事人以第一人稱視角重溫美妙時光的記憶切片。
警告：危險物品，非當事人請勿私自凝視，否則有極大概率遭受嚴重的精神攻擊。
案例：曾有兩位審核人員私自觀看。一位胡言亂語不知自己姓甚名誰，另一位胡言亂語只知重複「黑塔女士偉大！」。
【科員留言】
「『不動點是乳白色的蝴蝶結，發散級數像閃着寒光的匕首項鍊。卷積作褐色頭髮的波浪，分形是壞心情的影響。無限大與無限小吵得不可開交，給它們套上對角線的裙裝再勸架：看吶，在一切集合中，最美的，當屬我自己……』——對，就是那個小女孩念叨的，很神奇吧，哈哈哈哈，好神奇呀，我又是誰，我在哪裏……」

「擺滿洋娃娃的大房間裏，飄滿了我從沒見過的公式與符號，它們長出手腳，扮鬼臉，圍着她跳舞。她會打開像城堡一樣高的衣櫥，為它們挑選衣服，它們有各自的角色，出現在不同的節目中…當她停下計算時，我的精神也在那一刻得到了徹底的洗禮——黑塔女士偉大！黑塔女士偉大！黑塔女士偉大！黑塔女士偉大……」

Do you really want to see?

Are you sure?

Nevermind. You've already scrolled this far down. I won't take responsibility for what happens to you.
Curio File
Genius Society #83, Madam Herta's private collection, with the Garden providing technical support. A memory slice only designed for the person involved to relive a beautiful time in a first-person POV.
Warning: Dangerous item. Do not gaze into it if you are not the one in the memory. Otherwise, you have a high chance of suffering an intense psychological assault.
Case studies: Two reviewers have privately looked into this. One of them started saying nonsense and no longer knew their own identity, while another could only repeat the words "Glory to Madam Herta!".
Researcher Comments
"'The fixed point is the cream-white bow of ribbons, the divergent series is like a necklace of daggers shining with a cold light. Convolution is like the wave of brunette hair, and fractals are the influence of bad mood. Infinity and infinitesimal are in a heated argument, so put them in diagonal's dress then pull them apart: Look, the most beautiful thing in all combinations is me...' — That's right. That's what that little girl said. Isn't it amazing? Ahahahaha. So amazing! Who am I? Where am I..."
— Statement from a reviewer
"The large room full of dolls has equations and symbols I've never seen before floating in it. They grow limbs, pull faces, and dance around her. She will open a wardrobe as tall as a castle and pick clothes for them. They all have their own characters and appear in different programs... When she finished calculating, my spirit instantly received a complete baptism — Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta! Glory to Madam Herta..."
— Statement of a reviewer
Note
I saved this Curio so it's easier to review my beauty as a young woman. If you want to see it so much, then it's not my fault. I'll give you some advice: Find some Intelligentsia Guild books to counteract the stuff in their heads for these two unfortunates. They'll recover in no time.

黑塔女士發言：
「感謝各位對我的深情悼念，真不巧，又要讓某些人失望了。」

「您是…黑塔女士？」
「這是，黑塔女士的人偶？」
「是那篇返老還童的論文…真的實現了？！」
「黑塔女士，請解釋一下！」
……
黑塔女士清了清喉嚨，舉起手中的權杖——
「是因為『魔法』。」

「黑塔女士，請留步！」
「不可能！返老還童僅僅具備理論上的可能性，離實現還有十萬八千里……」
「科學…她還算個科學家嗎！一派胡言！」
「不是姐們…你怎麼做到每次出場都這麼酷炫的？」

「好玩吧？媒體為了搶頭條總是三天兩頭假報新聞，而那些老傢伙總盼着我去世，好驗證我返老還童的理論不過是紙上談兵。」
她關掉會議錄像，繼續悠然享用每日下午茶。
「你的每一項理論成果，最後都被證明有實現的可能，不過…後世的學者從未理解你的真意，因此也無法復現。」清冷的女士端起茶。
「邏輯：所謂重返青春的『魔法』，是黑塔女士表示嘲諷的修辭。推理：該理論的基礎原理涉及能量的逆轉與時間的流動，涉及到苛刻的實現條件。計算：……」
她笑眯眯地將一塊梅花糕點推至智械面前，打斷了他的話。
「看破不說破。吃你的吧。」

Topic Two: Anecdotes and Stories from Madam Herta's Life
...
Meeting Minutes — Topic Five: Panel Discussion: "Exploring the Boundaries of Science and its Profound Implications"
...
Meeting Minutes — Special Agenda 1: Moment of Silence: Breaking news from reliable media reports that Madam Herta has passed away...
Special Agenda 2: Madam Herta Makes an Unexpected Appearance and Delivers a Speech!
Madam Herta's Speech:
"Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences. Unfortunately, it seems I must disappoint some of you yet again."

"Are you... Madam Herta?"
"Is this a puppet of Madam Herta?"
"Did your paper on de-aging... actually work!?"
"Madam Herta, we need an explanation!"
...
Madam Herta cleared her throat and lifted her scepter aloft —
"It's all thanks to Magic."

"Madam Herta, hold on a moment!"
"It's impossible! The de-aging concept is purely theoretical. We're light-years away from actual application..."
"Science? Can she even be called a scientist anymore? That's just absurd!"
"Not to kill the vibe, but how do you always manage to make such a stunning entrance?"

"Pretty amusing, isn't it? The press loves to churn out fake news for headlines, while the old timers can't wait for me to bite the dust, hoping to prove my anti-aging theory is just a pipe dream."
She switches off the conference video and calmly resumes her afternoon tea.
"All your theories have been shown to have potential, yet... future scholars have never truly captured your essence, making replication impossible."The calm woman sips her tea.
"Logic: The so-called 'magic' of youth Madam Herta mentions is her biting satire. Deductive: The theory's core principles involve reversing energy and manipulating time, which requires exacting conditions. Computation: ..."
Her smile broadens as she slides a plum pastry across to the Intellitron, cutting off its monologue.
"Some truths don't need to be spoken. Here, have a treat."

【角色故事·其三】

銀河邊境，寂寥無生命的星系中，一座神秘的高塔在漩渦中若隱若現。

「這麼大的地方，我可不想被累死。」
她看了看空空蕩蕩的屋子，示意人偶向前。
咯咯噠，咯噠咯，噠咯咯，她們扭動身體，雀躍而來——
「黑塔女士舉世無雙！」
「黑塔女士聰明絕頂！」
「黑塔女士沉魚落雁！」
「好了好了，忙你們的去吧。」她不耐煩地揮揮手。
三個擦地，兩個澆花，還有一個……
「泡咖啡吧。天冷了，喝熱的。」
棕色的豆子碾碎，沸水衝過，黑色液體咕嘟咕嘟冒泡。
「黑塔女士。您有一條來自博識學會的消息。他們質疑您……」
「又在抱怨我的『顯然可證』了麼，替我從自動回複列表中挑幾句回復吧。」
「黑塔女士。您有一條來自星際和平公司的消息。他們邀約您……」
「跟他們說，我對那些發明不感興趣。」
「黑塔女士，您有一條來自第一真理大學的消息。他們聘請您擔任榮譽教授……」
「那是什麼學校？」
……
漸漸地，人偶替她處理所有世間瑣事，她也從人們的視線中淡出。
在那高塔頂端，她不再關心外界，只用演算心中尚存的疑問。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第一面鏡由此誕生。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第二面鏡熠熠落成。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第三面鏡清脆有聲。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第四面鏡畢恭畢敬。
無人知曉那名爍古今的天才如今在何處，又為何從不現身。唯有她提出的理論與猜想，仍不斷引起經久不息的討論。

漫長的時光過去，當她演算完畢時，看起來似乎並不滿意。
「現在沒有問題可解了——這才是最大的問題啊。」
「您是說……」鏡子心領神會。
「不如，來創造更多的問題吧！」

Character Story: Part III

On the edge of the galaxy, within a desolate, lifeless star system, a mysterious tower flickers in and out of view amid a swirling vortex.

"I refuse to wear myself out in this sprawling mansion."
She surveyed the vast, empty room, signaling the puppets to approach.
With a series of cheerful clicks and whirls, they danced toward her —
"Madam Herta is a peerless gem!"
"Madam Herta is an unrivalled genius!"
"Madam Herta is an inimitable beauty!"
"Enough already, back to your tasks."She dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
Three to scrub the floors, two to tend the gardens, and one...
"Brew some coffee. It's chilly today, and I need something warm."
The brown beans crunched under the grinder, hot water washed over them, and the dark liquid joyfully bubbled.
"Madam Herta, you've received an inquiry from the Intelligentsia Guild. They're challenging your..."
"Are they still fussing over my 'evident proof'? Just send them a few canned replies from the list."
"Madam Herta, Interastral Peace Corporation has sent an invitation..."
"Tell them their gadgets don't interest me."
"Madam Herta, the University of Veritas Prime wishes to name you an honorary professor..."
"Which institution is that again?"
...
Gradually, the puppets handled all mundane affairs, allowing her to vanish from the public eye.
Secluded at her tower's apex, she dismissed the external world to unravel the puzzles lingering in her thoughts.
"I wish to know, ████ ███ ██ █████ ██████?"
Thus, the First Mirror came into being.
"I wish to know, ████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ████?"
Thus, the Second Mirror gleamed into existence.
"I wish to know, ███ ███ █ ███ ████ ███████?"
Thus, the Third Mirror chimed succinctly.
"I wish to know, ███ ██ █ ███ ██████?"
Thus, the Fourth Mirror was formed with reverence.
Her whereabouts remained a mystery, as did her reasons for shunning the limelight. Yet, her provocative theories and speculations continued to stir endless discussions.

A long time passes. After she has completed her extrapolations, she seems unsatisfied.
"There are no more problems left to solve — this, in itself, is the greatest problem."
"Are you saying..."The mirror understands perfectly.
"Why don't we create more problems?"

博識尊？：你信了？瞧啊，模擬宇宙的算力像波板糖的花紋一樣涌到這兒。
博識尊？：怎麼？你知道祂不會回你一個「哈哈」？
黑塔：哈哈，因為機器頭根本不會回答！問題和懷疑是思想的本質，沒有禁忌、沒有邊界、沒有盡頭——
黑塔：除非祂撂挑子不幹了。

黑塔：不過你不能就這麼走了，作為補償，你來問我一個問題吧，不許講笑話。
阿哈：凡人一思考，機器頭就發笑！要不要來當假面愚者？讓我看你一眼？
黑塔：滾。我要伊德莉拉。

Herta: The Simulated Universe has always been simulating the Aeons and asking THEM. This time, we might as well let the Aeon ask me... It'd be great if THEIR question have me at a loss of words.
Herta: ...I need to get THEM out first.
Simulated Universe: Madam Herta broadcasts to the entire Simulated Universe the answer to the Imaginary Overflow Question. Fail.
Simulated Universe: Madam Herta pinches her nose and broadcasts to the entire Simulated Universe a speech praising the Aeons. Fail.
Herta: Boring. I'm leaving.
Simulated Universe: THEY appear in the blink of an eye. THEIR body is giant as a divine, the cogs and wires intricately intertwined together. THEY observe, calculate, and seek to know everything. THEY give questions, conduct proofs, and obtain answers. THEY do nothing else.
Simulated Universe: THEY know too much — You can ask THEM anything. Humans are so ignorant before THEM. Those tiny amounts of experience and knowledge in your head... They are pitifully small in volume.
Herta: So, only Nous would give me some respect.
Herta: Other humans view my thinking process as incomprehensible magic, and I view your thoughts in the same way. So, all-knowing being, ask me —
Nous: ██!
Herta: Please speak human.
Nous: THEY do not respond and remain silent.
Herta:...
Herta: I have nothing to say, either.
Simulated Universe: You are instantly expelled by some force. The deepest secret of this universe is like an abyss with tentacles, dragging you into inescapable fear.
Simulated Universe: Herta has been forcibly logged out.

Simulated Universe: Herta has re-logged.
Herta: Aha! I knew it was you
Nous?: THEY said "HAHA!" Hahahahaha!
Nous?: You bought that? Look. The computing power of the Simulated Universe is swarming here like the patterns of a rainbow lollipop.
Nous?: What? You are so sure that THEY won't reply with HAHA?
Herta: Heh, because Droidhead would never answer! Questions and doubts are the essence of thought. There is nothing that is forbidden, nothing serves as a boundary, and nothing is regarded as its end —
Herta: Unless THEY quit.

Herta: But you can't just leave like this. As payment, you ask me a question. Don't tell a joke.
Aha: Whenever mortals think, Droidhead would laugh! Would you like to become a Masked Fool for me? Let me glance at you?
Herta: Get out. I want Idrila.
