Poverty makes me capable of anything.

It felt like we were playing some strange game with a high degree of nudity.

“Yes.” Heloise nodded.

With a sigh of relief, An Ran looked at Ma Qi with a slight headache.

Although her physical injuries have been temporarily brought under control, she really has no way to deal with her mental health issues.

It's incurable, there's no hope.

Now, Maggie avoids everyone she sees, her eyes filled with terror, and she keeps muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Kill her, and that will end it all.

If I leave it here, it probably won't survive until tomorrow.

"Give it a try."

An Ran shook her head.

Claim the "Heart of Two Faces" reward.

What appeared in An Ran's hands was a pair of curved jade pieces hooked together upside down.

Tools for controlling the mind.

Anran originally intended it for Heloise.

But after seeing the renewed light in Heloise's eyes, she knew that Heloise didn't need such a thing.

"Go!"

use.

One of the jade pieces flew into An Ran's body, and the other flew into Ma Qi's body.

In a daze, a wonderful communication was established between them.

Maggie, who had been acting strangely, stopped moving around.

She looked up at An Ran blankly.

“Let’s go to where you live,” An Ran said.

"Ah."

Maggie stood up silently.

An Ran walked at the front, with the others following closely behind.

As they approached the portal, several people suddenly descended from above.

An Ran stopped Heloise.

"Someone I know."

"safely?"

Anderson quickly regained his composure.

"Where's Boss Harrison?" Caladotil walked up with a serious expression.

Her gaze swept over Heloise, whom she had never seen before; this woman seemed dangerous.

An Ran pointed and said, "He's right there, just in time for you to arrive."

Anderson immediately noticed Harrison, who had turned into a bloody mess. His expression changed drastically, and he appeared beside Harrison in a few flashes.

“It’s you…” Caladotil stared at An Ran.

"Don't talk nonsense, it was Fitch who did it, but don't worry, Fitch is dead and there's not even a trace left."

“Kara, she didn’t do it,” Anderson’s voice came through.

"for……"

"Because of his smile, Boss Harrison died with a smile on his face."

The voice was heavy.

Despite all the "despite"s, Anderson suddenly felt like crying when he saw that smile.

They all hated Fitch. They had gone through so much hardship to get here, and Fitch was finally dead, but the boss was also suddenly gone.

He's the boss, and also a brother who's been with us all this way.

"..."

Caladotil and the people around him were all stunned.

An Ran didn't say much.

There was nothing more to say. If she hadn't taken Caladotil's coat, she would have left quietly.

"Here, put these on."

He threw the clothes to Heloise.

It's very windy outside.

The game went into maintenance ten minutes ago.

This world is now only inhabited by NPCs.

The sky is quiet for now, but soon the owls will be facing off against the reinforcements.

Shortly afterward, 37 billion pesos in cash were safely found at Maggie's residence, which was also Fitch's residence.

The materials worth billions of dollars that the pirate princess initially placed in the Ice Palace were stolen by Fitch, but now Anran has retrieved them.

They even took some more than they should have.

"Consider the extra money as your treatment costs. I will take responsibility for saving your broken spirit."

The sound faded away with the night wind.

There are still a few things to take care of, and then this will be the end of it.

Volume 6 Interlude: Undercurrents, Chapter 00: The Long Night

The governor's residence, which had been built more than 60 years ago, collapsed with a loud crash not long after An Ran left.

From the air, no complete building can be seen.

This series of explosions became the final straw that broke the camel's back, and the resisting guards finally gave up in despair.

They could no longer hear any orders from their superiors and continued to resist solely out of their sense of duty as Imperial soldiers, but now it was all over.

They did not receive any reinforcements.

The guards lowered their weapons and stood quietly in the ruins of the governor's mansion, watching the Night Owl soldiers slowly approach.

"The moonlight in the Blue Forest is so beautiful."

On the lead ship, the commander stood in the zenith compartment, looking up at the bright moonlight after the crimson had faded.

The Blue Forest has two satellites, making it a true double moon in the sky.

"Commander, all the guards at the Governor's Mansion have surrendered."

"Hmm, any news from Harrison?"

"News has just come in: Harrison is dead."

"..."

Dead?

"There's also news that Fitch has been blown to pieces, but the body of the alchemist who secretly collaborated with him has been found, right next to Harrison, along with the body of Fitch's eldest daughter."

"What exactly is the situation?" the commander asked.

"I heard that Harrison and Anran killed Fitch and the alchemist together, but Harrison died from his injuries."

Where are the Enron employees?

"She left first, and now we can't contact her at all, and nobody knows where she went."

"..."

"This is a video sent back from the scene."

The commander quickly received the video, a short three-minute video that took him on a tour of the basement.

He seemed thoughtful after seeing the curve of Harrison's lips.

"One last check of the ground. If there are no problems, we'll prepare to leave," the commander said.

It is now 11:27 on November 1, 8103.

They completed the raid more slowly than expected.

Despite experiencing many twists and turns and being stirred up by wave after wave, they still managed to achieve their goal.

The next step is to find a way to get as many people as possible out alive.

While others were risking their lives for victory, he was only doing some insignificant tasks.

Now, it's time for him to do his part.

"Leave the rearguard to me."

"I am willing to stand with the commander through thick and thin."

"I've seen Fitch die in my lifetime, that's enough."

"I believe we can break free from the shackles of the Azure Forest. Just like for the past twenty years we have been wandering outside the Azure Forest, but now the Governor's Mansion has also been reduced to ruins thanks to our efforts."

Everything will get better.

It's like flying upwards, getting closer and closer to the moon that once captivated our hearts.
