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

[Ugh, how could I fall asleep at such a crucial time, and sleep for over ten hours? Can anyone tell me where the little prisoner went? When did the big prisoner return?]

[Seriously, sister, you're so carefree, only falling asleep during the most touching part of the plot—the little prisoner committed suicide, and only by breaking the illusion of the remnant soul could the big prisoner be brought back.]

[Good heavens! Is this how the game mechanics work for every team? Is it a test of whether the team captain, in their youth, would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the team if they suffered amnesia?]

[That's basically it. I mainly watch the top-ranked live streams. So far, it seems the mascot captain of the Bad Species team is quite kind-hearted. Even though he was tricked by his teammates, he still willingly sacrificed himself in the end. Guan Canghai and Luo Xiangjun even cried. It seems that because of this mechanism, their team's previously disorganized cohesion has actually increased quite a bit.]

[The Langtaosha team also surprised me. Yin Canglang was very clever and quickly figured out the mechanics. Without even saying goodbye or discussing it with his teammates, he slit his own throat. He really showed a lot of responsibility as a captain.]

[First of all, I won't comment on whether Yin Canglang has the responsibility of a captain. I want to ask... do you really think she was so decisive because she developed feelings for those team members? She might very well be in a hurry to go back and see Yi Zanglan. The captaincy was made public during the competition; they were in the same organization back then!]

[Sigh, I'm really speechless. I guess only die-hard fans of Yi Zanglan can discuss this with me: who is the number one partner of the Abyss Prisoner?]

I'm voting for the jungler.

[Bullshit! Anyone with a discerning eye would see him as a curse caster!]

Does nobody understand YCL²?

Does nobody understand our Prisoner Doll group?

Does nobody understand our Invisible Prisoners duo?

Nobody understands our Gan Jiang and Mo Xie... Sorry, wrong show.

I simply think that Yi Zanglan and the perfumer are both gentle and beautiful women, and they look quite pleasing to the eye when they work together, which fits my aesthetic.

Actually, I think the ghost god of wealth is also...

[To the person upstairs: You really have very discerning taste.]

……

Yi Zanglan noticed that ever since she returned from the mortuary, no matter what she was doing, the group of people in the team were always secretly watching her.

After looking at her for a while, he finally got speechless.

"Everyone, is this the first day we've met? What's so interesting about this place?"

"Can't we even take a look? Can't it be our compensation?" Yan Zhao retorted righteously, "These past two days you've been punching Ye Wang, kicking Lao Shen, saying you don't know me, criticizing Su Su and Si Qi's professional abilities, complaining about Yun Xi being noisy, and calling Lao Qin annoying, all you've been thinking about is your A Lang—and now you won't even let us look at him?"

"..."

Yi Zanglan couldn't deny it, because it was all true.

So she coughed lightly and could only try to downplay the issue: "I did have a bad temper back then, and children say things without thinking. You don't need to hold a grudge against a child."

"A child? He handles a knife more skillfully than chopsticks, and he dragged an official by his hat, smashing him against a pillar to his death. A child who can easily scale walls and rooftops?"

"Tsk, I don't think your temper is much better than mine."

Yan Zhao gritted his teeth fiercely: "...I'm not going to lower myself to your level, you lunatic."

Seeing that the Grand Chancellor was silent but was stomping his own foot under the table in a very childish manner, Yi Zanglan silently moved away, picked up his bowl, and sat down in front of Shen Yubai.

"This fish soup noodles are quite delicious," she said. "Did you learn this recipe from the imperial kitchen?"

"I guess so. The chef there has a menu, and I just flipped through a couple of pages," Shen Yubai replied softly. "I'm glad you like it."

Yi Zanglan sighed, then hesitated, "I'm sorry, it's just my body's instinct. I tend to resort to ruthless tactics whenever there's a warning sign of danger."

"Growing up in a hellish place like Raven, how can you protect yourself if you're not ruthless?" Shen Yubai gently shook his head, looking at her intently. "It's not a big deal, and your special apology makes me feel like it's my fault."

At this moment, Qin Shaoyu quietly peeked over from the side and sincerely exclaimed, "Captain, I'm not kidding, but your attack power is definitely more than S-, right? When you were twelve years old, you could kick Old Shen until he vomited blood with one kick. Do you know how serious his internal injuries were back then? I can't even imagine. If you went all out now, wouldn't you have kicked him to death?"

"..." Shen Yubai smiled and patted his shoulder, "Big God of Wealth, even Eight Treasure Taro Paste can't shut you up, do you really have to talk?"

"Sigh, am I just stating the facts?"

After finishing the whole bowl of noodles, Yi Zanglan took a piece of chestnut cake and stuffed it into her mouth. When she turned her head, she inadvertently met Ling Ye's gaze in the corner and couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you sitting so far away? Come over here and let me see."

Ling Ye hesitated for a moment, then walked to her side as instructed, and she casually lifted his sleeve.

Yi Zanglan checked the wound, looked up at him, and smiled slightly.

"You're overthinking things again. Back then, I thought you were too quiet, but now I don't. After all these years, don't I know your personality?"

She smiled and gave his shoulder a push. Ling Ye let her push him, remained silent for a while, then his eyebrows curved slightly, and he finally smiled.

"Would you like to take a look at the ninth painting?"

Wang Mingyue, who was brewing tea with Su Su not far away, heard the keyword and immediately ran over with her scroll on her back.

"Here it is!"

"it is good."

Yi Zanglan stood up, and the surrounding members gradually gathered around, all looking at the painting together with their heads close together.

On the scroll, the ninth painting has been completed.

The blue-covered ancient book in the picture has disappeared, replaced by countless ministers, palace servants and common people infected with the Green Erosion Disease in the black mist. Their bodies are covered with green blood and they are like walking corpses.

The theme of "illness" has now been fully realized, so the tenth painting, which is the last one left, signifies "death".

Yi Zanglan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Zhao: "The blue-covered ancient book was a prop from the illusion, and we couldn't bring it out, right?"

"Yes, I only finished reading Emperor Akihito's records at the time. There was another page left, but I didn't have time to read it before you..."

"I was a bit impatient when I was younger," Yi Zanglan sighed. "But thankfully, my memories have been preserved."

"So what's written on the last page?"

"I wrote... about the ending of the Feng Kingdom, with Emperor Xiaowu being its last emperor," she said slowly. "I also wrote that the Lei Kingdom was skilled in evil magic, and in addition to refining poisonous insects, they also raised ghost soldiers."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

"Raising ghost soldiers?" Tang Yunxi asked incredulously. "The kind of ghost soldiers I understand?"

"Probably." Yi Zanglan nodded calmly. "The Lei Kingdom mobilized thousands of Yin soldiers to launch a major attack when the Feng Kingdom was at its weakest. At that time, Emperor Xiaowu had just taken over this mess from Emperor Mingren. She personally went to the battlefield and led the army and civilians in a tenacious resistance, never surrendering until her death."

In other words, the player's journey here is merely a retracing of the history of the Feng Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Feng has long been destroyed, and this place is now a dead city, with the curse still in effect.

And they are about to face the final day of this game.
