'The Little Demon'
'Pure evil.'
'Die on sight, die on sight, absolutely no room for error.'
'Died over ten times, instantly killed every time, my mental state would have collapsed.'
'Perhaps Mother Goat fears most that Frisk would encounter such monsters outside the ruins, it’s too terrifying.'
'Indeed, from Mother Goat's perspective, I’d rather my child die by my hand than suffer such torment upon leaving.'
'Doubt Mother Goat, understand Mother Goat, become Mother Goat!'
'You truly understand LAuL!'
......
After Frisk’s half-forearm was covered in golden flowers, Sans couldn't watch any longer.
He pointed to a nearby rock, “If I were you, I’d hide behind this rock.”
“Damn it!”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier, you made me die inexplicably ten more times!”
Mochizhi was about to explode with anger. She turned and saw a nondescript rock in a corner by the road, where Frisk’s figure could be perfectly hidden.
At the same time, she cursed herself internally for being foolish, foolish for thinking Sans would take care of her, foolish for viewing Papyrus with the original game’s filters.
In reality, this guy in Au is pure evil!
Frisk, hiding behind the rock, immediately and nervously covered her mouth, revealing no sound. Mochizhi also held her breath, afraid of being discovered by Papyrus and strung up.
“Sans——!”
A gruff and volatile voice echoed, “Why aren’t you at your post again?”
“I’m really fed up with you, always lazy like a piece of trash!”
In just a few sentences, the image of a skeletal bully was vividly brought to life.
Facing Papyrus’s scolding, Sans maintained his lazy tone, “Hey, Papyrus, actually, I’ve done a whole basket of work, a skele-ton.”
*Pfft—*
Off-screen, Mochizhi covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud. This pun was the familiar Sans.
“Frisk, shh!”
Little Flower seemed to realize Frisk was also about to laugh, and immediately reminded her softly.
“Sans!”
Papyrus said ferociously, “I hate your boring puns!”
“You truly defile my name!”
“The name of a great and terrible Papyrus!”
“You are truly a lazy and incompetent bag of bone trash!”
“……”
He lectured Sans for a good several minutes. By the time Papyrus left, he was still loudly complaining about his brother’s incompetence, his voice audible from afar.
Another minute passed. Frisk cautiously poked out her head, and only when she confirmed that the red storm wasn’t there did she sneak out from behind the rock.
She then gave Sans a look that was both confused and angry. Sans shrugged. On one hand, Sans had killed her once and wouldn't do anything to save her, so she had every right to be angry.
Even though Sans couldn't stand it and gave a hint in the end, it still left a bad impression.
But on the other hand, if she could avoid other dangers and return home safely, Sans wouldn't stop her either.
Neutral, Frisk thought, this damn indecisiveness.
“Do you think he’ll come back?” Little Flower asked.
Frisk nodded slightly. Seeing Frisk emerge from her hiding spot, Sans let out a light snort, “Heh, seems like you’re quite lucky.”
Frisk looked down at her hands. Those golden flowers were blooming from her sleeves. Miraculously, Sans hadn't asked her about these flowers yet.
Was Sans an ally or an enemy?
This was not only Frisk’s doubt, but Mochizhi off-screen also couldn't see through this Sans.
What was his goal? Was he evil, good, or simply lazy, so lazy that he didn’t want to understand anything or care about anything?
“Snowdin?”
Frisk pointed to the road ahead. Sans nodded, “Yes, after passing through the traps set by my brother, you will see the houses of Snowdin.”
“But I need to warn you, they won’t welcome you.”
“So, I hope you won’t make too much of a fuss.”
“However, if you need me, I can accompany you.”
“No!”
Little Flower spoke first, “We definitely won’t go with you!”
“Absolutely! Not! Possible!”
“I didn’t ask you, weed.” Sans didn’t even lift his eyelids.
“Hmph, I believe Frisk is on my side, right?”
Facing Little Flower’s hopeful gaze, Mochizhi saw two options flash before her:
【A Accept Sans】
【B Do Not Accept Sans】
Out of trust for Little Flower, Mochizhi hesitated for a moment and chose 【B Do Not Accept Sans】.
As she made her choice, the game’s Frisk took a step back, “Thank you, Sans, but I think we can solve this ourselves.”
The skeletal monster chuckled, “As you wish.”
“This is friendship, thank you Frisk.”
Mochizhi shrugged off Little Flower’s gratitude, “No need to thank me. If I can’t get past, I’ll have to choose again.”
‘You’re truly shameless!’
‘6666!’
‘I didn’t expect you to be this kind of streamer!’
‘Little Flower: Friendship is broken!’
......
“You guys know why I tested this option first? Because I was afraid Sans would suddenly kill me.”
Facing the barrage of mockery, Mochizhi explained, “Now that Papyrus has become this mess, I can’t hold onto the original game’s filters for the upcoming NPCs.”
“Behaviorally, I can forgive them, be kind to all monsters, but attitude-wise, forget it.”
“Don’t celebrate too soon, weed.”
Sans, who hadn't gone far, snorted coldly, then showed Frisk a warm smile with his big, toothy grin, “See you around, sweetheart.”
“What did he just call me? Sweetheart?”
Frisk’s eyes widened, and she stood frozen. A wave of nausea washed over her. She shrugged and continued forward.
But for some reason, she always felt Sans’s gaze upon her.
We will meet again, I hope nothing goes wrong.
Frisk prayed silently. After walking for a while, they arrived at the first trap, which looked like a puzzle.
“That’s great, Frisk, we’ve finally arrived!”
Little Flower cheered from the side, “I believe you can get through it! But be sure to be careful.”
Frisk nodded, then walked to the first puzzle spot. There was a piece of paper, which read…
【Challenge: Repeat the same sequence】
At this moment,
In the center of the screen, four gray flowers appeared.
Then one by one, they lit up with color.
Two seconds later, three choices were presented to Mochizhi—
【A Red Green Red】
【B Red Red Green】
【C Green Green Red】
Mochizhi: (⊙ˍ⊙)
Did any other colors flash by just now?
“Guys, did you see it clearly?”
Her gaze turned to the chat, preparing to seek outside help.
‘Listen to me, when in doubt, choose C!’
‘B!B!B!’
‘A, definitely A!’
‘My answer is AB!’
......
“Damn it!”
Seeing the various answers, Mochizhi knew that outside assistance was useless. She could only make a random guess, “Alright, when in doubt, choose C!”
She clicked the confirm button, and the sound of a broken red heart played.
【gameover】
“Come on, come on, you who chose C when in doubt, come out and let me give you a buff!”
Raising her small fists, Mochizhi punched the camera twice.
“Listening to you guys is useless, it’s better to have Sans by my side.”
With that said, she returned to the selection screen and chose 【A Accept Sans】 again!
