角色故事•三（解锁条件：角色等级60）
自他踏入「纯美」的命途后，在苦修之路上，各类不同的「试炼」便逐渐展现——
或是出自祈愿，或是出自忏悔，或以三重魔鬼的形式降下密语纷扰。

而当他以无畏的「枪」，心怀荣誉地斩下三重魔鬼诱惑后，软弱、贪婪、杂念皆被抹去。
他将奉献灵魂与生命在纯美星神的脚下。

三重魔鬼的密语正如形态不同的呓言，它们在纷杂雾中幻化成各色人类欲念：
是庸俗逐利，是不耻罪孽；是权力王冠，是魅惑之音；
是战戮巅峰，是饮食大欲；是忘记忏悔，是常情而已。

他的血将伴随着荣誉洒在战场上，殷红一滴一滴与长发绞在一起。他的长枪放在这里，神祝福它永远锋利——
已故师者、同行者的声音都化作呓语萦绕耳边，除非他的主人低头，它将永不折断。

在他于血液的浸泡中，几乎失去意识之时，他终于听到了不知来自何地的呓语：

「你们阻绝恶名，你们宣扬美誉，你们是『纯美骑士团』。
每次胜利时，你们都要一次次看到自己，看到自己想作恶的心。」

「恭喜你，又一次通过『镜之试炼』。」

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."

骑士团对如何秉持「纯美」态度各不相同：
有人以一生贯彻自己的信念；有人不断假设，不断绝望推翻假设；
有人获得授勋，征戎沙场；有人自认是钟楼陋人，羞于接受「纯美」的华袍；

不变的是众人皆在宇宙中苦苦寻找「伊德莉拉」的真身。
他发誓牢记谦卑，怜悯，公正，一路从未违背过誓言；他将「纯美」戒律铭记于心，信仰也变得愈发偏执。
「怪人…纯美骑士真是一群怪人！」

自「伊德莉拉」可能已死的流言传播于宇宙后，他们的惶惑更甚：
更多地虔诚，却对应更多地不解；更多地大笑，却对应更多地怪异。
于洪荒中往回窥视，各类「荣誉」、「美名」、「恶名」皆在冗长时间中湮灭。

一切的最后。

当他再次遇见往日同行的「骑士」时，对方已变成迷失在追求力量之路上的审美者。
那位曾经高举传奇武器，弑杀吞天巨兽的英雄，其铠甲化为巨兽的鳞皮，其武器成为无法取下的爪牙，其血成了粘稠躁动的火焰，其双眸只余野性而无人智，曾经唤他「挚友」的声音，如今只余嘶嘶的叫声。

试炼的话语化为「终末」的预言，近在眼前：
自己，又是否…会同样堕为「恶兆」？

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."

「那地方就该被一场离子风暴毁掉，简单直接。」
说这话时，男人始终看着窗外。庇尔波因特的黄昏是紫红色的，林立的高楼反射出欧泊石般七彩的光芒。
「我的意见恰恰相反。自然死亡的猎物…有什么乐趣可言？」
圆桌的另一边，女士轻晃着手中的酒杯，那酒是血红色的。

「和二位不同，我只是一名商人。」
翡翠起身，微笑着结束了陈述。她知晓这个结果，这房间里的三人从来不会达成共识。
「所以我擅长的，也无非是在一场又一场交易中，等待最关键的那笔投资出现。
「那些身处绝境的人们，他们甘愿付出一切去实现自身的欲求，所以这些欲求也会赐予他们无与伦比的力量。

「所以期待吧，我们在今天种下种子，当然是为了让它在明天结果。」

"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."

边星地带有着这样的传说：当陷入绝望时，可怀揣舍弃一切的觉悟向星际和平公司请愿。若你有幸，一位来者不拒的放债人将会出现。

「欢迎光临『慈玉典押』。来者何人，所求何物？」
她重复着这句问候，静待群星间的欲望朝她涌来。

貌美的舞者向她求取容颜永驻的可能，她收走她的部分寿命，为她打开博识学会的大门。一次又一次，舞者重拾青春年华离开慈玉典押，又因衰老再度归来。直到某一日，她掩面离去，再也没有回来。

亡国的军人将情感尽数抵押，以换取复仇的可能。在失去所有的悲伤和愤怒后，他变成了战争的机器。往昔的敌人被尽数歼灭，他也永远留在了昨日，只留下化为废墟的焦土——它们在日后成了公司的属地。

还有一对巴维鲁夫妇，以自己的记忆为代价，向她换取纯粹的财富。他们在生命的不同阶段来到慈玉典押，换取金钱，换取声名，换取地位…直至将记忆挥霍一空。他们度过了幸福的一生，只是最后忘记了所有。

无论何物都能在「慈玉典押」用作抵押，哪怕一贫如洗也有机会鱼跃龙门。
「什么慈善事业！她是个魔女！一个喜欢收藏灵魂的恶魔！」
「一定不要和她说任何话，否则，你将一无所有……」
「那位慈玉女士？她不可能是这样的人，如果没有她的资助，我的故乡早就沦为殖民地了。」
……
她听着星间关于自己的传言，并不在意。
「是非善恶，只在人的一念之间。」
「微小的欲望一旦燃起，就会点燃更多的欲求。『慈玉典押』所做的…只是等待和收获。」
她点数着藏品，一份一份，都是欲望的余烬。

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.

这一天，又有两个年轻人叩响了大门。门无声无息向后打开，隐隐绰绰的烟雾中，她停下了用天平称量抵押物的动作，为两位到访者斟上了清茶。

「如我所料，欧泊还是选择了你去办匹诺康尼这案子。不过…你似乎又多了一位同盟者呢。」
她示意他们坐下，华贵的座椅上还留着上一位客人的余温。
「为了收回匹诺康尼的坏债，你们需要什么？」
「你的基石。」少年看向她的眼睛。
「第一次有人提出这样的要求，那你们愿意付出什么？」她微笑道。
「我们的基石。」少女说。
「还有我的命。要在匹诺康尼撕开一道口子，我别无选择。」少年深不见底的眼瞳中，光一闪而过。

和他们眼神相触的时候，往日种种一闪而过，最终定格在她与二人初遇的画面。
她轻轻叹息，将代表匹诺康尼的微缩模型置于天平一端。
「我们有各自的来路，也有各自的归宿。」
托帕石落在天平的另一端。
「这段同行的路可以长，也可以短…但只要还未行至终点，我们就必须履行立下的契约。」
砂金石接着落下。
「这世上不存在无价之物，一切都可被衡量、抵押、交易……」
最后是翡翠石，它坠地的刹那，天平彻底倾斜倒下——
「现在，用它们去换取匹诺康尼的明天吧。」

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."

试炼系统：这是你成为缭乱忍侠之后第三十三场战斗，你追猎御猿•邪忍的足迹，从他的邪恶之手中拯救出一个个世界。
试炼系统 ：你看着眼前被自己炸毁的地窖，阳光穿透墙洞，春风第一次涌入这个巨大的洞穴。
试炼系统：眼前是一个被「御猿•邪忍」蒙骗二十年的军•火村。生活于地下的村民认为外界充满战争，甘愿退化成为制造武器的工具。
试炼系统：咿呀！但你完全了解居民的真实想法。他们依赖那个战争的谎言，以筑成内心虚假的幸福与满足感。
试炼系统：因此，他们对未来充满怀疑。

当地居民：「当我们相信地上战争未止，而我们却能在安全地举行婚礼与葬礼时，我们因享受了他人难得的生活而感到幸福。」
当地居民：「当我们被告知地上的军队需要靠『地下』的武器制造来赢下战争时，我们因同样有生而为人的价值而感到幸福。」
当地居民：「你说战争早已结束？过去的生活是军火商的谎言？那、那这20年我们付出的一切是为了什么！？」
系统消息：忍者正在被不明真相的当地居民质问。
系统消息：忍者的士气缓慢下降。
试炼系统：但就如所有受到御猿•邪忍残害的世界，倘若置之不顾，他们和后代终将遭受更多实验的痛苦。
试炼系统：就像曾经的你一样。
试炼系统：请问，现在的你如何选择？
选择：
1、坚守忍道。
试炼系统：「忍侠之道，扶正祛邪。斩灭世间恶孽，是在下欲攀的高天。」
试炼系统：你使用空手道让地窖又坍塌了一面墙，更多的阳光涌了进来，有些人往里缩得更深，有些人正朝外走去。
2、弃之不顾。
试炼系统：你没有再为「真相」辩驳，你尊重他们的想法。你黯然离去，顺便解决了地上的军•火邪忍。你心想，围墙已破，他们终会被阳光吸引。
系统消息：忍者选择了【坚守忍道】。
系统消息：用户【缭乱•忍侠】经验+30000，获得可提升坚韧度上限的【缭乱•忍道】！
试炼系统：军•火村新出生的生命以惊人的速度适应着真实世界。你欣慰地看到，他们能够幸福无忧地长大成人。
试炼系统：恭喜你，又一个村庄摆脱了邪祟——但你云游驱魔的速度，远比不上御猿•邪忍危害四方的效率。
试炼系统：你来不及有一丝疲惫，接下来，你该往何处去？

>>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?

试炼系统：瓦修！限时任务！
试炼系统：你惊讶地发现自己掉入了宇宙的奇洞，进入了一段特殊的幻想故事线——「如果我不曾是忍侠」。
试炼系统：年幼的你不用再吞服蕴含过量忍•力的密药，不用遭受雷遁忍法的折磨，心智不再受缚于模因病毒。
试炼系统：假若你不是忍侠，会想成为什么样的人，会拥有怎样不同的人生？
缭乱•忍侠：「不知道，我从来没想过这个问题。」
试炼系统：果然，狩猎邪忍，弘扬忍道——这项行动原则简直是被刻进了你的所有肌骨。所以，还是由我来为你提供选择吧：

选择：
1、热血漫画家。
试炼系统：绘画是你自幼时便兴起的爱好，你阅览了各式各样的漫画绘本，逐渐被那些绚烂的色彩和精彩的故事吸引，你想创造同样令人热血沸腾的角色与人生。你成为了倍受欢迎的热血漫画家。
2、金链子歌手。
试炼系统：你生活在遍地学究的研究所，他们张口闭口皆是生僻术语，或矫饰过头的辞藻。他们矜持不苟，严明语法，谄媚权威…这使你厌烦了虚假庸常的言语。你将自己的真言吟诵成曲，成为了叛逆的歌手。
3、武道馆教练。
试炼系统：你天生拥有超于常人的身体素质，专注于身体运动带来的精神刺激…你成为了武道馆教练和宇宙空手道大师。
试炼系统：面对这些人生原本应有的不同可能，你茫然无措。它们没有仇恨伴行，也无使命束缚，不用辨明复杂的善恶，拥抱自己抉择的人生。如果有这样的选择和可能，你还想成为忍者吗？
系统消息：忍者在此关中有足够时间进行选择。

>>游戏暂停中>>

她摘下了脸上的目镜，低头若有所思。
「流晄忆町的超•幻境真是提出了一个有趣的问题，若在下未踏上缭乱忍道……」
那假绘的蓝图让她陷入短暂的遐想，但她马上就将这个问题抛到了脑后——
「但除非天下邪祟除尽，否则此番假想也只是无根泡影。」
天际的流星已然升起，在忍侠的狩猎完成之前，必须心无旁骛，其余皆为一瞬杂念。
缭乱•忍侠压低帽檐，没有任何犹豫，向真正的试炼之处跃去。

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.

「『不动点是乳白色的蝴蝶结，发散级数像闪着寒光的匕首项链。卷积作褐色头发的波浪，分形是坏心情的影响。无限大与无限小吵得不可开交，给它们套上对角线的裙装再劝架：看呐，在一切集合中，最美的，当属我自己……』——对，就是那个小女孩念叨的，很神奇吧，哈哈哈哈，好神奇呀，我又是谁，我在哪里……」

Warning: Do not look into it! Do not look into it! Do not look into it!!!

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.

黑塔女士发言：
「感谢各位对我的深情悼念，真不巧，又要让某些人失望了。」

「您是…黑塔女士？」
「这是，黑塔女士的人偶？」
「是那篇返老还童的论文…真的实现了？！」
「黑塔女士，请解释一下！」
……
黑塔女士清了清喉咙，举起手中的权杖——
「是因为『魔法』。」

「黑塔女士，请留步！」
「不可能！返老还童仅仅具备理论上的可能性，离实现还有十万八千里……」
「科学…她还算个科学家吗！一派胡言！」
「不是姐们…你怎么做到每次出场都这么酷炫的？」

「好玩吧？媒体为了抢头条总是三天两头假报新闻，而那些老家伙总盼着我去世，好验证我返老还童的理论不过是纸上谈兵。」
她关掉会议录像，继续悠然享用每日下午茶。
「你的每一项理论成果，最后都被证明有实现的可能，不过…后世的学者从未理解你的真意，因此也无法复现。」清冷的女士端起茶。
「逻辑：所谓重返青春的『魔法』，是黑塔女士表示嘲讽的修辞。推理：该理论的基础原理涉及能量的逆转与时间的流动，涉及到苛刻的实现条件。计算：……」
她笑眯眯地将一块梅花糕点推至智械面前，打断了他的话。
「看破不说破。吃你的吧。」

Character Story: Part II

Memorial Symposium: Celebrating Madam Herta's ██th Birthday
Meeting Minutes — Topic One: A Retrospective of Madam Herta's Scientific Achievements
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】

银河边境，寂寥无生命的星系中，一座神秘的高塔在漩涡中若隐若现。

「这么大的地方，我可不想被累死。」
她看了看空空荡荡的屋子，示意人偶向前。
咯咯哒，咯哒咯，哒咯咯，她们扭动身体，雀跃而来——
「黑塔女士举世无双！」
「黑塔女士聪明绝顶！」
「黑塔女士沉鱼落雁！」
「好了好了，忙你们的去吧。」她不耐烦地挥挥手。
三个擦地，两个浇花，还有一个……
「泡咖啡吧。天冷了，喝热的。」
棕色的豆子碾碎，沸水冲过，黑色液体咕嘟咕嘟冒泡。
「黑塔女士。您有一条来自博识学会的消息。他们质疑您……」
「又在抱怨我的『显然可证』了么，替我从自动回复列表中挑几句回复吧。」
「黑塔女士。您有一条来自星际和平公司的消息。他们邀约您……」
「跟他们说，我对那些发明不感兴趣。」
「黑塔女士，您有一条来自第一真理大学的消息。他们聘请您担任荣誉教授……」
「那是什么学校？」
……
渐渐地，人偶替她处理所有世间琐事，她也从人们的视线中淡出。
在那高塔顶端，她不再关心外界，只用演算心中尚存的疑问。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第一面镜由此诞生。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第二面镜熠熠落成。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第三面镜清脆有声。
「我想知道，█████████████？」
第四面镜毕恭毕敬。
无人知晓那名烁古今的天才如今在何处，又为何从不现身。唯有她提出的理论与猜想，仍不断引起经久不息的讨论。

漫长的时光过去，当她演算完毕时，看起来似乎并不满意。
「现在没有问题可解了——这才是最大的问题啊。」
「您是说……」镜子心领神会。
「不如，来创造更多的问题吧！」

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?"

【角色故事·其四】

黑塔：模拟宇宙一直在模拟星神并向祂们发问，这一次不如让星神来问问我…最好把我问得哑口无言。
黑塔：…得先把祂们引出来。
模拟宇宙：黑塔女士向模拟宇宙全域广播虚数流溢问题的答案，失败。
模拟宇宙：黑塔女士捏着鼻子向模拟宇宙全域发表了赞美星神的演讲，失败。
黑塔：没劲，走了。
模拟宇宙：一瞬间，祂出现了。祂的身躯庞大若神物，齿轮与纤缆精妙绝伦地纠缠在一起。祂观察、计算、求解一切。祂提出疑问、进行验证、获取解答。除此之外，祂什么都不做。
模拟宇宙：祂知道的太多了——你什么都可以问祂。在祂面前，人类是如此无知：那些你头脑中仅有的经验、知识，它们…少得可怜。
黑塔：果然还是博识尊给我面子。
黑塔：别人把我的思考视作无法理解的魔法，你的思考对我来说也差不多。所以，无所不知的存在，请向我提问——
博识尊：██！
黑塔：拜托你了，说人话吧。
博识尊：祂没有回答，唯有静默。
黑塔：……
黑塔：我也无话可说。
模拟宇宙：一瞬间，你被某种力量驱逐了，这宇宙间至深的秘密犹如长着触手的深渊，把你拖进无法逃脱的恐怖之中。
模拟宇宙：黑塔被强制登出。

模拟宇宙：黑塔重新登录。
黑塔：阿哈，就知道是你！
博识尊？：祂说的是：「哈哈！」哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！
博识尊？：你信了？瞧啊，模拟宇宙的算力像波板糖的花纹一样涌到这儿。
博识尊？：怎么？你知道祂不会回你一个「哈哈」？
黑塔：哈哈，因为机器头根本不会回答！问题和怀疑是思想的本质，没有禁忌、没有边界、没有尽头——
黑塔：除非祂撂挑子不干了。

黑塔：不过你不能就这么走了，作为补偿，你来问我一个问题吧，不许讲笑话。
阿哈：凡人一思考，机器头就发笑！要不要来当假面愚者？让我看你一眼？
黑塔：滚。我要伊德莉拉。

Character Story: Part IV

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.
