The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Long, long ago, there was a pair of sisters who depended on each other for survival. The elder sister was frigid but exceptionally talented, and her younger sister was equally gifted, but was well protected by her elder sister and remained pure and innocent."

"The two sisters relied on each other for survival in the days that followed, until a righteous man with an inherently evil nature appeared. Under the guise of righteousness, he painted a picture of the future for them, saying that there was an opportunity to save the city."

Chen Guan turned in mid-air, avoiding a distorted spatial rift.

"The Yin family?"

He uttered those two words, taking time out of his busy schedule to give Barr emotional value.

"clever."

Barr continued.

"Those people were drawn to the little girl's spiritual talent, and the girl was willing to sacrifice herself for others. By the time Guan Jinyue realized what was happening, it was too late. Her sister's soul became the core of the tower's formation, leaving only a cold shell inside her body."

"As compensation, and because of her terrifying talent, Guan Jinyue received many things: a place in Taipei City's college admission program, the sword in her hand, and far too many things she had never dared to dream of before..."

"However, geniuses are often eccentric. For Guan Jinyue, all she wanted was her younger sister."

"Two and a half years later, Guan Jinyue stormed into a cult stronghold. Even though Lord Baal was worshipped there, she did not hesitate to swing her sword at him."

As she spoke, a faint, affected sob could be heard.

"And what happened next was that the kind-hearted Lord Baal put aside his past grievances, guided her through her difficulties, repaired the girl's increasingly deteriorating body, and used his connections to have the demon race prepare an ice coffin for her. From then on, her body became immortal, and she had no more worries. She then presented Lord Baal with a token of her loyalty."

"And what follows is everything you already know."

Barr stopped acting and started naming names directly.

"So she's here for revenge?"

"No."

Barr refuted this conclusion.

"She's here to snatch her sister. She wants to retrieve the rest of her sister's soul from beneath that tower. She's willing to destroy the entire city of Shanghai for it."

As Baal finished speaking, the silver figure in front of him stopped.

The wind howled on the rooftop.

Guan Jinyue turned around.

Her hands were empty; she had no weapons.

But the surrounding space became distorted and unsettling, with invisible blades seemingly tearing through the air.

Chen Guan stood still ten meters away.

"You'd be willing to sacrifice the entire city to find your sister?"

Guan Jinyue's eyes were lifeless, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Aren't you the same?"

She saw through what was on the back of the coffin behind Chen Guan, and it was essentially no different from what she had hidden in the ice coffin in the Northern Territory.

They are people who cherish each other.

From their very first meeting, she had seen through Baal what was inside the coffin and knew that the person before her was someone who, like herself, had something more important than life itself.

That's why she felt what little pity she had left.

Chen Guan did not deny it, while Guan Jinyue's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"When you get to where I am, you'll become just like me, or even crazier."

"As for now, I must go ahead."

Guan Jinyue's smile was both captivating and dangerous. She raised her hand, and space began to fold, with countless cracks transforming into the shape of glass shards that danced behind her.

"Congratulations, you've fallen for their trap."

Before Chen Guan could even stand firmly on the rooftop, the silver figure in front of him began to dissipate.

Guan Jinyue's silhouette shattered into countless folded pieces of light, scattering in completely different directions.

She never intended to fight here from the beginning.

Chen Guan reached out and grabbed the last lingering image, his fingertips passing through it, but he didn't touch anything.

An Changqing's voice came through the phone, unusually urgent.

"Chen Guan, how are things on your end?"

"She's gone."

"Gone? Where did they go?"

An Changqing no longer even had the mind to ask who the other party was.

Chen Guan had fully grasped Guan Jinyue's intention.

"An Changqing, be careful..."

Before Chen Guan could finish speaking, a commotion broke out on the other end of the line.

Inside the revolving restaurant.

Hong Yuan and Long Ao had just returned from the rescue downstairs. Both of them were covered in dust and blood, but their spirits were still good.

An Changqing was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window maintaining communications, while Su Yuehe was packing up the equipment.

Yin Chen stood alone by the conference table, one hand supporting the surface, scrolling through the latest news from the Shanghai Association on his phone.

His second uncle had been moved to the refuge area downstairs, and at this moment there were only the five of them in the restaurant.

Long Ao threw his coat on the chair and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"The monsters below aren't too strong, but their numbers are outrageous. The association's people have arrived, and we can hold them off for now."

Hong Yuan rested her battle axe on her shoulder: "But the cracks are still widening. If the source isn't addressed, we can't kill them all no matter how many times we kill them."

An Changqing put down his headphones and frowned as he looked at Su Yuehe.

"Moon Lotus, have you located the source of the crack?"

Su Yuehe shook her head and pointed to the instrument beside her; the data on the screen was all garbled.

"The spatial fluctuations are too violent, all the detectors are being interfered with, and I am recalibrating them."

Yin Chen interjected.

"There's no need to find the source."

Everyone looked at him.

Yin Chen turned his phone screen towards the crowd.

"There must be someone maintaining this kind of spatial tearing. Once we find that person and cut off the control, all the cracks will close automatically."

An Changqing nodded in agreement.

"Chen Guan said he caught up with that person, but the other person ran away, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Just then, Chen Guan's urgent voice came through An Changqing's phone.

— "An Changqing, be careful."

His reaction was already very fast; the sword was drawn in less than 0.3 seconds.

But it's not fast enough.

A ring of transparent ripples spread silently behind Yin Chen.

In the center of the ripples, a slender, fair hand quietly appeared and gently rested on Yin Chen's right shoulder.

Yin Chen froze in that instant.

His pupils dilated sharply because he could clearly feel that his meridians were as if a valve had been turned on, and all the energy flow stopped the moment it touched the hand on his shoulder.

He tried to activate his supernatural abilities, but he couldn't condense even a trace of cold energy.

A person walked out of the ripples intact and stood half a step behind Yin Chen.

Silver hair, black eyes.

Guan Jinyue.

"you……"

Yin Chen turned his head and recognized the face.

Guan Jinyue didn't look at him. His gaze swept over everyone in the restaurant and finally stopped on An Changqing, who had already drawn his sword.

"Don't move."

she says.

An Changqing's sword was already pointing at Guan Jinyue, with faint starlight floating on its blade.

"Let him go."

Guan Jinyue's eyes were devoid of anything extra. Standing in the center of the four people's encirclement, he was so calm that he shouldn't be in this situation.

Without Chen Guan as a variable, no one could stop her.

Yin Chen gritted his teeth, trying to use his mental power to break through the other party's control.

The moment his spiritual energy burst forth from his body, it was silently swallowed up by some invisible barrier around him.

Nothing was left.

Yin Chen's expression changed completely.

"My mental strength..."

"Save it."

Guan Jinyue finally looked down at him.

"Within the area I've locked onto, your abilities are no different from those of an ordinary person."

An Changqing no longer hesitated.
