Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Emperor Akihito was indeed lying, but he only concealed half of the truth; he told the other half.

Yi Zanglan will not die immediately after destroying the mortuary and leaving the area she set up.

However, Yi Zanglan will be cursed and revert to his twelve-year-old self.

Will an emperor who has lost all his memories, is unpredictable, and can no longer provide any protection for his subjects still have loyal followers?

How can we verify what is called sincerity?

……

……

The members of Black Wind Stronghold took turns speaking, exhausting their eloquence and doing their utmost to express their sincerity, and finally managed to barely calm the furious Yi Zanglan down.

After all, the captain is no longer the captain, but a teenage assassin who still works for Raven. She doesn't know them, and her mind is filled with Yin Canglang.

What's so great about Yin Canglang?!

Inside the Hongde Hall, Qin Shaoyu was unaware that in his extremely broken state, he had blurted out these words from his heart.

Then he saw Yi Zanglan sitting behind the desk, casting a murderous glance in his direction.

"...I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense."

He had no doubt that even if she was only twelve or thirteen years old, killing him would be an easy task for her.

You should know that she had already given the answer at the mortuary. Ling Ye, who had an S+ level of injury tolerance, actually had his bones fractured by her punch.

Is her attack power really only S- after she grows up? That's highly doubtful!

Hearing Yi Zanglan ask in a cold voice, "You seem to know A-Lang very well?"

"We don't know Yin Canglang, but we do know you." Yan Zhao sighed and patiently explained, "I've already told you, this is the Doom Game. You and Yin Canglang have both been chosen by the system. She now has her own team. You should have a chance to see her again after clearing this round."

"We understand this sounds absurd, and you might find it hard to accept right now," Tang Yunxi added sincerely. "But we're absolutely not lying to you; it's all true. You have to believe us, okay, Lanlan?"

Young Yi Zanglan had a bad temper, but she was just as smart. She spent half a day repeatedly observing and scrutinizing the group of people in front of her, and finally came to a slightly positive conclusion.

They were most likely not lying to her. The situation was bizarre, but since it happened, there must be a reason. Instead of dwelling on it, she should think of a solution as soon as possible.

However, seeing a group of unfamiliar adults calling me "Captain" and "Captain" in such a formal and informal way felt really strange.

"Where did the name Yi Zanglan come from? Also, stop calling me captain; I can't lead you guys."

"You are our captain," Shen Yubai whispered to her. "We came together because of you, and Black Wind Stronghold has come this far because of you."

"Did I come up with that lousy name, Black Wind Stronghold?"

"...Yeah, it actually sounds really good."

Yan Zhao tentatively touched Yi Zanglan's hand, and only felt slightly relieved when he saw that she did not resist.

"Yi Zanglan is the name your adoptive mother gave you. She hoped that you would not be trapped in the code name 057, but would be like the free wind in the mountains."

"..."

"You will meet her at sixteen, Lingye at nineteen, and us at twenty-six—you have admitted it yourself, and every encounter has made you feel happy."

happiness?

Yi Zanglan had never experienced this feeling before, so he couldn't really understand it.

Perhaps the other person's gaze was too intense, she frowned and looked away, changing the subject.

"When was this chain put on my neck?"

"I really don't know," Tang Yunxi quickly clarified. "When we arrived, you were already wearing it. Maybe it's a restriction imposed on you by the system."

"And what about these bracelets? Were they also handcuffed to me by this damn system?"

"The bracelet is your exclusive item." Tang Yunxi thought for a moment, then deliberately leaned close to her ear to explain, "The left side represents the malice value in the game, and the right side represents our love value for you."

At this moment, the left bracelet has turned completely black, while the right bracelet only has a faint trace of gold.

Yi Zanglan examined the bracelet for a long time, then suddenly sneered.

"It seems that you are full of malice, but not much love."

Upon hearing this, all the members were stunned.

Yan Zhao hesitated several times before finally replying with a helpless tone, "Everyone here would risk their lives for you. You clearly said you were willing to do it yourself."

"..."

"It's normal that you can't understand now, but you will never question our love like this in the future."

Yi Zanglan silently raised his eyes and saw that everyone present was staring at him. He did not flinch or avoid the gaze, as if he was silently conveying some kind of determination.

The sealed memories, like embers hidden deep in the ashes, struggle to reignite.

...However, it was extinguished in an instant by the strong wind.

The moment she began to hesitate and think, the iron chain around her neck suddenly tightened around her throat and continued to constrict.

Her neck bones creaked under the strain, and a sharp pain and a feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her. She suddenly lost her balance and fell headfirst to the ground.

In a daze, she seemed to be helped up by someone, and heard the group of people calling her new name, their cries heart-wrenching.

She was still alive; they seemed to be terrified.

……

She didn't know how much time had passed until the chains finally loosened a little, allowing her to breathe.

Yi Zanglan took a long time to catch her breath. She slightly opened her eyes and saw one panicked face after another in her line of sight.

"...Alright, you're not dead." She pushed herself up, refusing to let them help her, and walked out with a cold expression. "But don't make me remember again. If I remember it twice more, I really should die."

Who invented this godforsaken place?

Why don't you go to sleep? What if you wake up and find out it was all a nightmare...?

Ugh.

If it's a nightmare, it means the mission assigned by the organization has been delayed, and both I and Ah Lang will be punished when we go back.

Forget it.

* * * * * *

Outside the Hongde Hall, the members sat together on the cold steps, the atmosphere gloomy and somber.

Tang Yunxi buried her face in her knees and remained silent for a long time, clearly feeling very down.

"Lanlan must have suffered a lot when she was little," she murmured to herself. "She recovered so quickly from the pain of being chained around the neck, as if... it was nothing new to her."

That can only mean that the torment Yi Zanglan experienced in Raven was far more cruel than these.

Wu Ying sat beside her, wanting to comfort her but unable to, since she herself was also feeling extremely down and it was difficult to say anything nice.

"That kind of twisted organization should have been wiped out long ago!"

She gritted her teeth fiercely, and after a long while, she supported her forehead with her hands and slumped down.

...Not long after, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the house.

Everyone was almost startled and stood up instantly, and then Yan Zhao pushed open the door and walked out.

"What's wrong?!"

Yan Zhao sighed, his expression complicated: "She's too wary when she sleeps. Just now, when Old Shen tried to cover her with a blanket, he was kicked away."

"..."
