After all, if...
'It'? That's an interesting name... And the name 'Gold Finger Sister' is quite intriguing as well.
The inner voice seemed intrigued.
How should I put this? I can't say I completely understand it, but I can probably guess what knowledge 'it' has... Don't worry, I can't read your mind, and spiritual abilities are not my strong suit.
"…"
In the current situation, it was pointless even if Ophis didn't believe it.
"So, what exactly is 'it'?"
Trying to get more information, Ophis asked again.
If she was transformed from 'it' in some form...
Theoretically speaking, this was uncomfortable since her memory had been erased.
And this presence in her mind was likely the mastermind behind all this.
Although she thought so, Ophis couldn't really feel anger about the matter.
Now that she was a dragon, she didn't really care about 'it' being human.
Curiosity was more of a driving force.
She was also wary of the possibility that the other party could easily alter existing memories.
But before she could finish her question, the inner voice interrupted her.
[No comment~~ Or maybe this is not a very important question for you, and even if you get the answer, you'll just dismiss it as irrelevant?]
Before Ophis could react, the voice continued.
[You just need to know that you are not 'it', nor are you the cute dragon in 'it's' knowledge. You are the current Orpheus, nothing more. By the way, your memory issue was indeed caused by me. Many of those redundant memories are meaningless. But don't worry, I only altered the memory of you as 'it'. I can't change your memory as Orpheus. After all, the levels are completely different.]
At this point, Ophis thought she should be angry about having her memory tampered with, but the reason was the same as before—she couldn't really feel much emotional fluctuation. Now, she had more pressing concerns.
"Sister Goldfinger, is there really no way you can see into my heart?"
Finally, Ophis couldn't help but ask.
[Well... it's natural for you to have such thoughts, but nothing I said was a lie.]
The inner voice replied indifferently.
[However, even if the memory is erased, 'it's' personality has indeed been integrated into your soul, and your own personality is quite simple…]
Many people believe that memory carries personality, but in fact, the soul also plays a significant role.
For details, you can refer to Naruto-kun, who treated Konoha like his first love even though Konoha had abused him countless times.
If Sasuke were in his place, Konoha would probably have been destroyed dozens of times.
Anyway…
"As expected... Sister Goldfinger knows 'it' very well."
As soon as she asked the question, Ophis could clearly sense that the other person's emotions had shifted for a moment...
[That's not quite right, but just go with it.]
Different from the previous brisk responses, this one seemed to carry a deeper emotion.
Out of intuition, Orpheus didn't delve further into this issue.
"I haven't asked yet... What abilities does Sister Goldfinger have?"
Changing the subject, Ophis asked directly.
In her heart, she felt a lingering sense that 'this existence might be worth trusting'...
Of course, she didn't believe it outright, but she wasn't as resistant as before either.
Having any function was one thing, but whether she wanted to use it was another...
[Oh! Are you finally getting to the point? Don't scare me when I tell you about my abilities~~]
"…"
Ophis remained silent.
In her opinion, that was probably the best this type of entity could offer.
It's nothing more than the four swords of Zhu Xian being sold off, Aunt Yakumo summoning at will, free verification of European and African bloodlines, changing the race system at will, and at worst, letting people control the origin of time and space at will...
[Although I can only roughly guess what you're thinking, I can tell you very clearly…]
The voice in her head reappeared.
[I probably don't have any of the abilities you're imagining~~]
After a brief pause, the voice suddenly burst out again.
[Hahahaha, what do you think? Do you want to hit someone? Is there something you can't say? Do you really want to throw me out? I just want to see you try to bite me but fail~~ After all, I never said I was a system type, hahahahahaha…]
Orpheus's massive snake head tilted.
...To be honest, she didn't have any expectations for this being, so there was no question of disappointment.
It was just that this unknown entity was really too erratic...
Besides... the other party had already expressed the possible reactions, so what else could she do?
No, if it were someone else, they would probably say it directly...
───MDZZ
At last...
So, are the questions about the golden fingers above just the author inflating the word count?
Orpheus continued to think in silence.
