Coming to a place reminiscent of one's mory can evoke a sense of nostalgia.
However, when this place mirrors your mory down to the smallest detail, it starts becoming a bit eerie.
"I have to say, that Brass Woman actually rembered , it kind of creeped out..."
Tami walked alongside Berto, complaining about his current feelings.
If Luluwo had been excited all along and only realized the oddity when encountering the Brass Woman, then he had felt sothing strange from the mont he entered.
Clearly aware that this Yanor Londo should not be the sa as the one in his mory, yet it appeared flawlessly identical, this gave him a feeling akin to—how do you say—"Pseudo-People"?
"I'm scared too," Berto shook his head, "but we can't guess what sort of mischief Sain Dungeon is up to now."
The two followed in Luluwo's footsteps over here, chatted briefly with Solar, and found that he, like the Brass Woman, rembered them. Though this was odd too, it wasn't as scary coming from soone as cheerful and sunny as Solar the Sun Warrior; it could even settle one's SAN level back.
They were so caught up in chatting with Solar, they missed those few minutes when they neared the Gwyn statue and witnessed a magical sight.
They saw half of Luluwo's body!
To be more specific, it was the half of her body being consud by a painting.
"Ah, Captain!"
Tami was startled and drew his sword, ready to charge, "What kind of new Treasure Box Monster is this!"
"Wait a mont, look carefully, the Captain is not struggling." Berto swiftly stopped his impulsive teammate.
If Luluwo were being swallowed by a new type of Treasure Box Monster, she would have made so noise, yet the exposed leg showed no signs of struggle, and instead, gently swayed in peace.
What does this signify? It signifies that their Captain is in good spirits.
"But this scene is simply too bizarre..."
Tami watched as the painting completely devoured Luluwo, an expression so indescribably odd on his face.
"Let's go check it out."
Berto pulled him toward the painting, and as soon as they approached, they saw a distorted human face filling the painting, causing them both to instinctively step back.
Wait a minute, why does this face seem so familiar? Isn't it Luluwo? It turns out her face is pressed against the canvas.
"How did you get over there, what's on that side?"
Seeing Tami and Berto, Luluwo's expression turned excited, and her mouth moved to say sothing, but the two could only shrug, indicating they understood nothing because there was no sound reaching them.
Tami's words couldn't be heard by Luluwo either, both sides seed muted.
In desperation, Luluwo gestured for them to touch the mirror-like painting.
They always had faith in battle commands, so the two touched the canvas with their fingers simultaneously.
Ripples emanated from their fingers, expanding outward, then a slight pull drew them inward, easy to break free with a little effort.
Berto and Tami did not resist, letting the painting slowly swallow them.
As their scalps were consud, revealing the other side where Luluwo was, they felt a chill on their brains.
It was like being caressed by wind and snow… no, there were actually snowflakes falling on their heads!
Tami's eyes widened incredulously, saying:
"This is Yilushier of the Cold Valley!?"
When he erged completely, incredulity still filled his gaze.
Standing in Yilushier, at the familiar bonfire location by the kitchen, he glanced back to see the Onion Knight in a deep slumber!
All signs pointed to their genuine return.
"See, I said after finishing with Sain Ancient City we'd surely return!"
Luluwo straightened up proudly, almost surrounded by a pinkish halo.
"I can't believe we actually returned..."
Berto and Tami also looked amazed, but quickly turned reflective.
At this point, being in Yilushier of the Cold Valley surely ant they were within the Yanor Kingdom domain, if this was another Sain Dungeon replica map then they were out of luck.
Having truly returned, their emotions were unexpectedly calr than anticipated.
The three exchanged a glance, imdiately understanding each other's thoughts.
"Shall we head back for a look?"
"Head back!" x2
With a swift move, they dashed out from the kitchen, ran toward Yilushier Bridge, chased by the Alligator Ember King, sprinted across the imnsely familiar bridge into the Underground Tomb of Overlord Wonier, discovering the bonfire there.
Leaving via the Teleportation Gate of the Underground Cetery would lead to the Royal Capital of Yanor Kingdom, but they chose to add ritual to this journey.
Now that they're here, shouldn't they visit their joyous ho in Bed City?
The three, like joyous monkeys, bounded out of the Underground Cetery, gathered equipnt to spare embarrassnt for Tami and Berto, then clawed their way back to the corpse-strewn Fran Fort.
