As someone who also came from a zaibatsu family, he naturally knew Ryuji Kanzaki.

Now that he has come back from the dead, Koenji can't help but feel a little uneasy about how the other person seems to have become overly pessimistic and cautious.

But he didn't laugh; he simply shook his head and decisively said:

“Ayanokouji Boy is right.”

"Since we need to race against time, let's split up and try to find the people and the exit as quickly as possible."

Honami Ichinose nodded and then asked:

"If we're going to split up... to minimize the chances of being targeted by high-scoring monsters along the way, wouldn't it be better for most of us to take refuge inside the [Mountains and Rivers Map] first?"

Arisu Sakayanagi expressed her agreement:

"Try to minimize the number of moving targets. If there are too many people, they will inevitably become targets."

"We're completely outmatched in hunting these monsters right now. If we're exposed, we'll become the prey ourselves..."

Horikita Suzune thought for a moment and added a detail:

“The Skywing race is proficient in spatial magic. I’m worried that the spatial barrier of the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] might not be able to hide from their senses.”

"To be on the safe side, after everyone enters the Mountain and River Map, it would be best to use the power of the [Blank Card Box] to hide in the 'Mirror World' for double isolation."

"As for those who remain outside as the physical medium of movement and responsible for the rendezvous..."

"I'll do it."

Long Yuanxiang recommended himself.

"Although I don't have any special abilities to become invisible or reduce my presence, I can fly, and my mobility is definitely much more skilled and faster than the 'flying technique' used by Suwei and Ayanokouji."

"Moreover, as a purely mechanical life form without the scent of flesh and blood, in this world filled with magic and elves, it is the best disguise. Plus, I have this extra life granted by the [Energy Amethyst] as a safety net..."

Long Yuanxiang grinned: "I believe escaping shouldn't be a problem."

Su Wei glanced at Long Yuan and nodded in agreement to take on this responsibility:

"can."

"Then Ryuen, you will take Kanzaki's controller and be in charge of finding those two intruders."

"I'll be in charge of finding the mysterious merchant's location and also seeing if there are any powerful items we can buy and use immediately to improve our survival rate."

No one present had any complaints about Su Wei's swift and decisive arrangements.

From a realistic combat perspective, having the strongest fighter, Su Wei, and the highly capable survivable Long Yuanxiang act separately is indeed the optimal solution.

However, as the two who bore the highest risk and pressure throughout the entire process, it is inevitable that some people in the team who care about them will feel sorry for them.

As everyone entered the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] one after another.

Just a second before stepping into the painting, Shiina Hiyori stopped in her tracks.

The girl pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, but finally couldn't help turning back to look at Su Wei, softly asking with concern:

"Su Wei...would you like me to come with you?"

Seeing this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to suddenly remember something and interrupted the girl's sorrow, offering a timely reminder:

"Don't forget, Su Wei has the [Yama Blade] in his hands."

"When faced with danger, he can directly use the Yama Blade to cut through space and retreat into the Mirror World at any time. He has more ways to protect himself than any of us."

At this point, Ayanokouji looked at Su Wei and added:

"Oh, right, I just remembered something. Once we're safe and have some free time, remember to try your Yamato... see if you can use its ability to cut through space to directly sever the physical barrier between the floors in the back room."

"If this works, we'll have complete control over our exploration of the back room from now on."

"Of course, all of this is contingent on us successfully leaving this world."

Su Wei nodded to Ayanokouji, indicating that he had made a mental note of it.

He then turned around, looked at Shiina Hiyori whose face was full of worry, and comforted her with a light laugh:

"Just like Ayanokouji said, I have Enma Sword as a backup."

"And have you forgotten? I previously obtained the strongest contracted beast!"

"Don't worry about me, Hiyori. Go inside and wait for my good news."

Shiina Hiyori's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say a few more words of advice, but in the end she just obediently waved her little hand at Su Wei.

"Um...please come back safely."

Honami Ichinose stood at the entrance, taking in the entire interaction between the two.

She pressed her lips tightly together, and that familiar bittersweet feeling welled up inside her again.

In the end, she simply raised her hand and gently patted Shiina Hiyori's thin shoulder, without saying anything more.

......

At this time.

In a desolate and lifeless place, formed by the black ash and debris of countless fallen spirits, resembling a snowfield.
