The Last Sentinel

"This is an abandoned second-hand villa. There are unfinished buildings and no-man's-land within a five-kilometer radius. The food and water inside are enough to support you and Guo Xiaoqiang for a month."

"I won't be contacting you during this time. If you need anything, you can call me."

"I won't bother you anymore, get some rest!"

Although it's a second-hand villa, the renovation doesn't look second-hand at all. It looks brand new at first glance, especially compared to the large number of unfinished buildings around it. It's truly spacious, quiet, comfortable, and relaxing.

"Big brother!"

Guo Xiaoqiang had never seen this villa before and asked, bewildered, "Who...who are you?"

Ye Feng said, "I'm your brother's friend."

Guo Xiaoqiang said, "But my brother has never mentioned you to me."

Ye Feng said, "That's not important. What's important is that we'll be staying here for a while. There's a computer and internet upstairs, so you can use it as you like. There's food in the fridge. You can do whatever you want, except go out!"

Guo Xiaoqiang beamed, "That's awesome! I'm going upstairs to play games, bro! Let me know if you need anything!"

Ye Feng watched as Guo Xiaoqiang happily went upstairs to play games, and sighed inwardly that the kid was really heartless and didn't care about his brother at all.

Ye Feng sat down on the sofa and returned to the chat group.

Ding! Group notification: [Hongmeng First Affection] invites you to start an encrypted chat group A.

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment. What was going on?

Upon checking the encrypted chat group, I was immediately struck by the presence of three familiar faces: [Wuji Demon Lord], [Fifteenth Realm Martial Artist], and [Hongmeng First Affection].

Wuji Demon Lord: Haha, Little Ye is here!

Ye Feng: Wuji, weren't you supposed to be offline and AFK to kill people? How come you have time to show up now?

Fifteenth-level martial artist: Kill people? You need to know who the mastermind is before you can kill them!

Ye Feng: I... I don't quite understand what's going on, gentlemen, please explain in detail!

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: To make a long story short, the death of [Sentinel] is full of strange things. We suspect that there is a traitor in the chat group, a traitor who colluded with a powerful alien race and betrayed our chat group information.

Ye Feng: Boss, you mean the [Sentinel] was betrayed and killed in battle?

Hongmeng's First Affection: I'm not sure, but this possibility is very high. I once chatted with [Sentinel], and Sentinel vaguely mentioned that although the people in the chat group are all transmigrators, not every transmigrator wants to go home. Some transmigrators have been assimilated by the transmigrator world. They have become loyalists of the transmigrator world. They are willing to kill other transmigrators for the transmigrator world, attack other transmigrator planes, and even their ancestral home planet.

Ye Feng: This, this is just a damn traitor!

Wuji Demon Lord: That's right, these are traitors and spies! I suggested to [Sentinel] that we screen and investigate the chat group, but [Sentinel] said it was unnecessary, that it would alert the enemy, and that the infiltrators would also tip each other off. [Sentinel] said that going home is the key right now, and even if those infiltrators don't want to go home, he won't force everyone to go home.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: [Sentinel] succumbed to womanly compassion. Those traitorous dogs who refused to return home had even greater ambitions. They wanted to turn more people into otherworldly slaves and high-level thugs like themselves. In the end, they betrayed [Sentinel], allowing the otherworldly nobles to kill [Sentinel].

Fifteenth-realm Warrior: So, the death of the [Sentinel] wasn't a sudden accident at all, but a premeditated, long-term murder that spanned countless dimensions of civilization! This murder involved executioners from otherworldly noble families, and even traitorous dogs from our own chat group! Traitorous villains!

Ye Feng: I see.

Fifteenth-realm Warrior: After the [Sentinel] died, we thought there was no hope of returning home and had prepared a purge list. This list included all the guys in the chat group who we thought might betray the [Sentinel], intending to destroy the chat group and then the other world! But your appearance has given us more options. We plan to use you to lure out the traitorous dogs in the group.

Ye Feng: So a traitor has already appeared? The fake man is their trump card?

Wuji Demon Lord: That's right! You need to understand one thing, Ye Feng: the most crucial thing in creating a "pseudo-human" is that the creator must be in their own universe. The fact that they can create martial arts "pseudo-humans" targeting Guo Xiaoqiang means that the other party is back on Earth!

Ye Feng: Ah! Back home! This... this sentry hasn't even cleared the way home yet, and the enemy has already arrived?

Wuji Demon Lord: As it stands, this is the reality, and it's something we didn't want to see. We haven't arrived home yet, the Sentinels haven't arrived home either, but the False Man and the Creator have already arrived home. This means that the murderer is in the old house, or rather, the murderer has never left the old house.

Fifteenth-realm Warrior: The current situation is roughly this: you're doing a live stream in the group, and the traitors in the group are secretly collecting our bond information and passing it on to the big boss behind us. The big boss from another world then contacts the BOSS back home and creates a "fake person" to completely destroy all our bonds. In this way, we won't have the urge to go home anymore, and we'll obediently serve as slaves to these nobles from another world.

Ye Feng: So next, I should stop taking orders so that those "fake people" can't appear before me and disrupt our operation.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Yes, now you should rest. According to the [Bond Time Theorem], as long as you don't go looking for them, the bonds won't align. The bonds of those group members, big shots, family, and friends will remain forever at the moment before they traveled through time. As long as you stop livestreaming and continue looking for people, they won't know who our bonds are, where they live, or be able to kill our bond relatives and friends.

Wuji Demon Lord: Speaking of which, Shenqing, who do you think betrayed us? Who is the most suspicious?

Hongmeng's First Affection: I think it should be the first batch of old fogies who joined the group with me. We are the ones with the best relationship with the [Sentinel]. The Sentinel usually tells us the latest information about returning home first.

Fifteenth-realm warrior: Do you think it's possible that the leader has betrayed us?

Upon hearing this, the small group fell silent.

This is unthinkable.

If the leader betrays, it means that the Sentinel was betrayed from the very beginning, and the anchor points he set are all under the control of the alien nobles.

The otherworldly nobles are meant to appear just as the Sentinel is about to complete his task, leaving him utterly hopeless!

Ye Feng: The [Leader] is in Great Xia. Great Xia only has 1.4 billion people, and there are very few super geniuses. As long as we go to the Southern Heavenly Gate Project, finding the [Leader] is only a matter of time. Three years, five years, ten years, we will eventually find him!

Hongmeng First Affection: You're right. The leader can be found, but it's hard to say how many traitors and collaborators are among our 10000+ group members. We should focus on eliminating the spies and collaborators in the group first.

Wuji Demon Lord: No problem, just follow his expression.

Fifteenth-level martial artist: Let's do it this way!

Ye Feng: Hey guys, there's something else. The traitor in the group has probably already leaked the news that I discovered the [fake person]. Will they still come after Guo Xiaoqiang next? Am I just sitting here waiting in vain?

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Once the [False Human] is created, it becomes a targeted killing tool. It acts on its own; its goal is to kill Guo Xiaoqiang. And if Guo Xiaoqiang is not dead, it will definitely reappear and kill him by any means necessary! It will be a fight to the death! Right now, the opponent has only created a [False Human], and this [False Human] is clearly not dead. It will definitely come looking for you and kill Guo Xiaoqiang!

Ye Feng: So, can I beat the [Fake Man]?

Fifteenth-realm martial artist: The strength of a [False Human] is determined by the strength of the person it anchors. The strongest [False Human] cannot surpass the original. This [False Human] is anchored to my younger brother, Guo Xiaoqiang, and you can slap my brother like a spinning top. The [False Human] can't beat you! Rest assured.

Ye Feng: What does the [fake] look like?

Fifteenth-level martial artist: It's hard to say. The [pseudo-human] is not human. It can transform into any form. Observe it carefully. We will also leave one to help you observe.

Ye Feng: Dear esteemed leaders, I await your good news.
