What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

"what……"

Shen Caichun lay on the ground, utterly despondent, and removed all the rubble and clods of earth covering him.

"Mom, who's in heaven now, I think I've messed everything up..."

She sighed, got up, and decided to continue searching for Shen Yuedong. If she guessed correctly, Shen Yuedong was probably planning to use his own life to break the curse of Riju. The so-called Moon in the Sky was the helper he had found after running away from home for so long.

Putting aside whether his self-sacrifice was right or wrong, the problems with his henchmen, like the Moon in the Sky, are huge.

Thinking of this, Shen Caichun looked down and saw a corpse in the ruins in the corner. It was a member of the Moon in the Sky who had been killed by him when he used all his abilities during the battle above.

Even in death, his expression remained unchanged from when he was alive—indifferent, as if he were still gripping the gun precisely, aiming at himself, even as he approached death and his body was being torn to pieces.

That disregard for one's own life sent chills down the spine of even top agent Shen Caichun, and this was merely the norm for members of this organization.

Why would such an organization be so merciful as to invest so many resources to help Shen Yuedong deal with Riju's family affairs?

Stop joking!

Shen Caichun gritted his teeth. That foolish younger brother must have had his inner chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) explode after hearing that he could save his family by sacrificing himself, and then he didn't care about anything else.

There must be some bigger conspiracy behind this, and she must stop Shen Yuedong before things get worse.

Helpless, with the real Riju right in front of him and his abilities not obeying his commands, Shen Caichun lost his ability to openly pass through the mold and had no choice but to explore and move forward step by step.

She didn't know where Shen Yuedong was, but she was sure she would find the answer by going down to the bottom of the chrysanthemum.

However, Shen Caichun hadn't taken more than a few steps when she stopped. After a pause of about a second, she decisively turned around, pulled out a pistol that she hadn't used in a long time from her thigh, and aimed it at the thirteen o'clock position behind her.

"Who's there? Come out!"

"If you don't come out, I'll shoot."

Although Riju's abilities are unusable, Shen Caichun's skills as a special agent are still top-notch.

Soon, a woman in a black and white uniform emerged from behind the pile of rubble.

Her pale blue eyes gazed calmly at Shen Caichun, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Shen Caichun frowned slightly.

She didn't recognize the woman. She didn't look like a killer from the Black Web or someone from the Sky Moon. More importantly, when did she appear near her?

"I meant no harm."

Seemingly seeing through Shen Caichun's thoughts, the woman placed her hand on her chest and introduced herself: "I didn't intentionally follow you; it just so happened that our paths crossed at this time."

"Let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Zoya, and I'm a Level 3 staff member of the [OIB Foundation], FGERT2335. This is my rank number. As for me..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Shen Caichun interrupted Zoya with a bewildered look: "What foundation? What's that? Why have I never heard of it before?"

"If our existence can be easily discovered, it means our management is a complete failure."

Zoya patiently explained, "We lurk in the shadows of history, our duty is to observe, intervene in, and contain all that is irrational. We call those things that can have a fundamental impact on the world 'Containment Projects'."

"I am here because an uncontained, extremely dangerous project has begun to show unexpected changes, and I must observe it throughout in order to make an assessment and subsequent arrangements."

Although she still didn't quite understand, Shen Caichun grasped some of the points. Her expression turned cold, and she fired without hesitation. With a roar, the bullet grazed Zoya's hair and struck the pile of stones behind her.

Shen Caichun's voice was low: "Don't casually refer to my family as containment material."

"She is not an exhibit in a museum."

The extremely dangerous project that has an impact on the world must be the Chrysanthemum Heart inside Shen Xuqiu's body, right?

Shen Caichun would not allow a stranger to conduct any so-called observation of his sister.

but……

Zoya blinked: "You seem to have misunderstood something, Miss Shen Caichun."

"The extremely dangerous project I'm referring to isn't your sister. The Heart of the Sun Chrysanthemum within her hasn't reached the point of fundamentally changing the world, and even if it had, it wouldn't be at the extremely dangerous level."

Shen Caichun's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes turned strange: "Wait, if it's not my sister, then that extremely dangerous project you mentioned, it wouldn't be...?"

"Judging from your expression, you should realize it."

Zoya nodded: "That's right, the extremely dangerous project I was referring to is that male high school student who has been in contact with your sister these past few days."

"That is, the individual named Ye Wen."

Her expression turned serious.

"Because of [Ye Wen]'s] influence, our world..."

"There was a gap of two whole years."

……

The current situation is that Shen Yuedong is walking in front, while Ye Wen is holding Shen Xuqiu and watching from behind.

Shen Yuedong: "..."

Ye Wen: "Stare—"

Shen Yuedong: "..."

Ye Wen: "Stare—"

Shen Yuedong: "..."

He finally couldn't help but turn around, asking Ye Wen with a strange and frightened look in his eyes:

Why are you staring at my butt?

Because I am Cheng... cough cough.

Ye Wen said listlessly, "Why do all the people in your Shen family have such strange thoughts?"

"When did I look at your butt? I was clearly looking at the brand of clothing on your waist."

Shen Yuedong breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death! I thought you were... uh."

Seeing the look of concern in Ye Wen's eyes for the mentally challenged, Shen Yuedong quickly shut up and changed her words: "This sign is proof of the Moon in the Sky. There shouldn't be anything about it that's worth looking at for so long, right?"

"I think that design is quite unique."

Ye Wen casually asked, "So, the entire plan you're implementing now was provided to you by this Moon in the Sky?"

Shen Yuedong frowned: "What's wrong now? Is there a problem?"

Ye Wen then asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll go back on their word?"

Shen Yuedong said with a straight face, "They need my corpse after I fused with the chrysanthemum. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Ye Wen: "Pfft."

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."

Ye Wen forced a smile and said, "My wife is about to give birth."

Shen Yuedong was even more puzzled: "You're laughing so happily, did you do this?"

"No... never mind, just pretend I did it."

Ye Wen stopped smiling and gestured towards the front with his chin: "Let's put this topic behind us. Look, we seem to be almost there."

He really didn't know what Shen Yuedong trusted about the Moon in the Sky, and could only attribute it to the influence of the female lead's storyline.

It was all the female lead's doing!

Soon, they arrived at the base of the sun chrysanthemum, at its root. There, some black-robed figures from the Moon in the Sky were already preparing, led by a slender woman wearing a black raven mask.

"Oh my, little brother Yue Dong, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long... Oh? I didn't expect there to be an unexpected guest here."

She smiled at Ye Wen, while Ye Wen stared intently at the sign next to her buttocks.

Because of her higher rank, this woman's badge was more complex than Shen Yuedong's, with more and clearer twisted black lines that intertwined and vaguely revealed the outline of a young girl.

Ye Wen: "..."

Upon seeing the sign, a sudden inspiration struck him.

He seemed to have remembered something he shouldn't have remembered.
