"...Can you not be so blunt? I have indeed resigned. I didn't lie to you."

The raven defended himself somewhat helplessly and speechlessly.

"Have you forgotten? 'Sending you away from the World Snake' is my last mission in the organization."

What does that mean? Lin Wei was speechless.

"So you showed up so quickly because you were really waiting for me?"

"...If you say so, it's not wrong."

Perhaps because he was in the wrong, Raven did not argue with Lin Wei, but continued to explain.

"I could have just walked away at that time. After all, handing you over to Gray Snake can be considered as mission accomplished. In this way, what happened later would have nothing to do with me..."

"so what?"

Lin Wei's heart moved. It seemed that this guy had been tricked by the gray snake just like himself.

"I have some friendships with... a few of the gray snakes, and I don't want to see them die in your hands... and then have you blame them for it."

Raven deleted a lot of details and used a very illogical sentence to evade Lin Wei. Then he looked at him and thought that if he had been left there, it would be a high probability that he would have clashed with the World Snake.

Gray Snake also made preparations for both situations.

"Lin Wei, I have to remind you that although Gray Snake is afraid of your Key of God, it is not without means to counter you. Under the circumstances at that time, if there was a conflict, both the organization and you would suffer losses. This would not benefit anyone, and I don't want to see it happen."

Sure enough, Gray Snake's "deal" contained a trap. But "counterattack"?

How to counter and what to counter?

Is it to counter the Key of God, or to counter me as a person?

There is no time to think about it for now, so just write it down first.

"So you stayed there with the intention of 'getting me out of here and avoiding conflict' from the beginning?"

Raven nodded helplessly.

"I guess I'm asking for trouble... But I was the one who brought you to the headquarters, so it's reasonable for me to send you away, isn't it?"

"...What happens after that? Can't you just send me away?"

Lin Wei didn't think that Raven was a person who would plot against children, and during the more than one month that she had lived in Raven's "nest", she didn't feel any conspiracy or calculation.

"I feel sorry for you, so I'll take you in temporarily, isn't that okay?"

Raven waved his hands impatiently, wanting to end this "interrogation".

"I can't shirk my responsibility for what happened today. After all, if you were always with the children, I would still have an excuse, but now..."

Lin Wei understood what Raven meant - this place was far away from the shelter, and any fighting would not affect the children.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

"So what was your purpose in carefully planning this 'accident'?"

Lin Wei raised the original question again - what exactly does the World Snake want to do?

Even though Lin Wei had prepared himself mentally a year ago, this was the inevitable consequence of provoking the World Snake, and it was already much better than the worst expectations.

Even though he had already avoided Changkong City, the feeling of being "watched by a snake" was still unpleasant.

This feeling of being helpless was really annoying, and it made Lin Wei feel agitated and want to do something to regain the initiative!

"It's better not to force me..."

Lin Wei sighed in his heart. He didn't like the feeling of intrigue.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to live a quiet life, but fate is fickle.

Fate whipped him hard, forcing him to "break into" the real side of this world with the most resolute attitude, break into the card table of this "game", "grab" some chips with the most brutal attitude, and then be really qualified to sit at the card table and participate in the game.

Even though it's not what I want, it seems like he really can't quit this game.

"To be honest, I don't know either. Gray Snake just told me to give you a suitable test at the right time and in the right way."

Raven answered truthfully that she was just an executor, a tool, and a weapon.

Being used is her value. At least that's what the snake sees.

She looked up at Lin Wei, and he did the same.

That sounds very sad.

But unfortunately, in this world, the vast majority of people are not even worth being used. They live silently and die silently.

But there was nothing she could do, she could only choose to take care of herself.

"Test? Test of what? It's just a Honkai Emperor, not a high-ranking Honkai Beast. If this is the entry test for the snakes in your world, my evaluation is that it is very easy. I suggest that the difficulty be increased."

Lin Wei sneered. The World Snake was too greedy. Wasn’t it enough for him to become a shareholder as the holder of the Key of God?

Or is the purpose to evaluate my fighting ability so that I can quickly clean myself up if we turn against each other in the future?

Sitting there and waiting for death is not an option. Lin Wei's mind quickly slid to the dark side, and he began to think about how he could better "protect himself".

"…If you want to join the World Snake, I can introduce you to the Gray Snake. But you'd better not get your hopes up. If he wanted to take you into the organization, he would have mentioned it a month ago."

Raven interrupted Lin Wei's strange thoughts unhappily.

A test? You're not asking me to join the World Serpent?

What on earth is Gray Snake trying to do?

This guy's attitude is really ambiguous, neither an enemy nor a friend. On the one hand, he is plotting against me, and on the other hand, he acquiesces to Raven coming out to explain to him. Is he trying to express that he has no hostility towards me?

Is it because even with the means of "countermeasures", Gray Snake still cannot afford the cost of becoming completely its own enemy?

But if that is the case, why is it so easy to expose the information that "he is plotting against me", which should have been deeply hidden?

He had fought against himself several times before, and he should know that such crude means could not conceal himself.

So, what was his purpose in calculating himself?

Lin Wei did not hide her doubts and just looked at Raven, wanting to continue listening to her explanation.

"…Okay, stop looking at me like that. I've already told you that I don't know much."

Raven felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he thought for a while and said,

"I only know that before taking you away from the headquarters, Gray Snake told me the story of how David defeated Gotia and eventually ascended the throne... To be honest, he always speaks in a veiled way, and I don't always understand what he means."

The story of King David?

Lin Wei felt it was very absurd, as if he had heard the funniest joke, and laughed wantonly.

"Does the Gray Snake mean to say that he wants me to become the leader of mankind? That's ridiculous. Are you kidding me?"

Lin Wei only felt dizzy from laughing. His still weak body could not withstand such oxygen consumption. He could not help but slightly lower his body and continued to laugh.

"What does he want? Kevin is not dead yet! King David? Hahahaha, more like a troublemaker! Uh..."

Lin Wei's wanton laughter came to an abrupt halt, and he felt as if ice water was poured over his head, chilling his entire body to the bone.

As a holder of the Key of God and a natural carrier of stigmata who is outside the tripartite organization, isn't he the perfect troublemaker?

Lin Wei straightened up and stared at Raven. His cold eyes made her wonder in her heart, is this guy really crazy?

After a moment, Lin Wei sneered, retracted his gaze, and put a gentle smile on his face again.

Gray Snake, do you really want me to join this game?

So, don't regret it when the game ends!

Lin Wei stood up, gathered his thoughts, and began to brush off the dust on his body, tidying up his clothes which had become messy due to the battle.

She had already obtained the information she wanted to know, so there was no need to make things difficult for Raven anymore. It was not easy for her to be caught in the middle.

Lin Wei sighed, put away his edge, stopped being aggressive, and asked helplessly,

"What are your plans next?"

This is just a chat between friends. Maybe after this separation, we won’t know whether we are enemies or friends when we meet again next time.

Raven seemed to understand this, and his tone became casual again.

"Me? Oh, don't mention it. The noise you just made was really too loud. I'm afraid this place has become unsafe. I plan to take those children and live somewhere else for a while. As for you..."

At this point, Raven once again looked at Lin Wei, his tone was joking, but also full of emotion.

"I'm afraid my small temple can't accommodate a great god like you. Please take your leave now."

Lin Wei took the magic sword from his waist. Pandora's power was attached to it, making it look more like a delicate cane. Lin Wei held it in his hand like a gentleman.

"Haha, goodbye then. Any parting words?"

Raven was stunned, remembering that one year ago, he sent him into the corridor leading to the paradise on earth. At that time, Lin Wei also asked him if he had any instructions before leaving.

time flies……

The raven's mouth stretched out, and finally the mixed feelings in his heart turned into a soft sigh.

“Don’t die…”

Just like what I said that day, but it was half true and half false back then, and I am afraid I can't even tell how much is true and false today.

After being together for so long, how could she not know that Lin Wei was the same type of person as herself and just wanted to live an ordinary life.

This damn world!

Raven felt inexplicably sad.

"Ha, thanks for your good words."

Although it sounded like an insult, Lin Wei still accepted it with a smile. He could tell that it was Raven's most sincere blessing.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Xiaokong asked me to help collect some books and materials. I've piled them in a cart at the end of this road. Please give them to Xiaokong for me. And by the way, please apologize to the children for me. After all, I left without saying goodbye."

The adult world is dirty after all, just like this dilapidated city, so it is better not to pollute the last piece of pure land.

"Well, I will."

Raven nodded. She had been following Lin Wei's movements from beginning to end, so she naturally knew where those things were now.

Then he watched Lin Wei leave, just like he had sent Lin Wei to paradise a year ago.

"Ugh……"

After a moment, Raven took out the communicator and gave Gray Snake a final mission report.

Hang up the phone and crush it hard!

I'd better take care of myself first!

The raven laughed at himself, then turned and left in another direction.

Walking alone on the road, the raven couldn't help but look up at the thick and strange clouds in the sky, as if they would never disperse, and murmured to himself in his heart, will the sky ever clear up?

……

The sky gradually darkened and night fell. The silent city became even lonelier, with only the howling of the wind and the dull rumbling of thunder in the sky.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and then a blue light flashed across the sky, like a shooting star, heading straight here.

The blue light disappeared, and a tall and graceful blonde girl appeared in the same place, hanging in the sky like an angel.

"Yulan Dell, we have arrived at the target location..."

Chapter 12: Free “Chess Pieces”

An azure blue meteor streaked across the sky, falling from the sky and smashing straight into the town ravaged by the collapse. In an instant, it knocked down the collapse beasts that were wreaking havoc everywhere, then rose from the ground and flew to the horizon again.

"Alvette, the mission here is completed. Tell me the next target location."

Youlan Dell, who was flying through the clouds, pressed the communicator with a nonchalant tone, as if he had just done it casually.

"Okay, the coordinates of the next location have been transmitted to your personal terminal."

At the headquarters, the Immortal Blade base, Alvette hurriedly sent a coordinate to Yulan Dell, and quickly contacted the local stationed Valkyrie team to enter the scene to carry out battlefield cleanup and survivor rescue work. As soon as the process was completed, Yulan Dell sent a new coordinate request.

Alvette felt that she had changed from a "data clerk" to an "operator".

"Lord Youlan Dell is currently in the Far East Branch area, right? I remember the person in charge there is quite strong, so why did he have to let the captain take action?"

The assistant who was assisting beside him couldn't help but complain.
