I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

There was a hint of smile in his voice.

"It's pitiful for a person to have no name. You don't want to be called "Little Gray" or "Hey," "That guy," or "You" when you grow up, right?"

"Grey...Grey...Grey."

"In that case."

"From now on, I will call you—"

"Grey, right?"

Gray...?

The little girl repeated the name silently in her mind.

For some reason, when she pronounced this name, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

It reminded her of the warm summer breeze.

……

Luster stood at the door.

Only when Gray's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor did he turn around and look at the balcony deep in the room.

"I say, Miss Hiltina."

"There's probably no such thing as eavesdropping on other people's conversations in the family motto of the Rangers."

As soon as Rast finished speaking, a girl with long chestnut hair walked out from the balcony.

It seems that she must have fallen directly here from the outside of the balcony in the next room.

"Of course not."

"However, as a single man, sharing a room with a little girl in her early teens, I must keep a closer eye on you."

At this moment, Hiltina was not wearing a knight's uniform, but had changed into a plain white home dress and a skirt that was less than the knees.

She looked at Rast with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Fortunately, under my supervision, you didn't do anything out of line."

"If you really do something like that, it's not out of line, it's perverted."

Luster smiled bitterly.

He was not surprised by the appearance of Hiltina.

Gray's previous infiltration and the noises of their conversation were subtle, but not enough to deceive a "Chariot" with intuition that could break through to the fourth level at any time.

"He's such a hard-working kid."

"Gray, that's a nice name."

Looking at the direction where Gray disappeared outside the door, Hiltina couldn't help but sigh.

"And, for some reason..."

"She gives me a feeling very similar to you."

Hiltina looked at Last with some suspicion.

She clearly felt that in the conversation just now, not only was Gray's disguise exposed, but even Luster's mask disappeared briefly, revealing some of his true appearance.

It's just obvious that if Rast doesn't confess himself, she will never know the truth.

"Now that it's over, I'm going back to my room."

Hiltina straightened her chestnut hair that was a little messy after being blown on the balcony, and was about to go out and return to her room, but was interrupted by Rast.

"Wait a minute."

"Let me confirm for the time being that you don't have any lingering nightmares or painful memories that could become a shattering memory in your mind, right?"

There was a rare hint of seriousness in Rast's voice.

"If so, tell me."

"I can use mental suggestion to help you delete those memories."

Hiltina turned around and looked into Last's eyes. After a few seconds, she understood the meaning of Last's words.

"You mean, what will happen at midnight? You've found the clue?"

"Ah."

Rust nodded. "This must be some kind of regular mental contamination. If we don't return to the safety of the lighthouse outside town before midnight and instead stay in Frozen Water Town, we'll inevitably face this kind of contamination."

"Your Sequence Master and Night Blade are both specialized in physical enhancements, with little mental or spiritual enhancement. Fighting mental pollution isn't your strong suit... Let me use hypnosis to make you forget those things and directly erase the flaws in your mind. This is the simplest option."

"Like everyone, I do have some unforgettable memories, and my soul is far from perfect."

Hiltina smiled and said, "I know you mean well, Last."

"But no matter what, that is my past. No matter how painful it is to look back on, no matter how heartbreaking it is, it is still a part of me."

She walked straight towards her room without pausing.

"Possessing the determination and courage to conquer all obstacles and desperate situations, this is the justice of a ranger, my justice."

"And if, when faced with those memories, those spiritual flaws, I choose not to confront them directly, but instead try to escape by forgetting them, betraying justice... then Hiltina Ingulite would no longer exist."

"Really, that's very much your style."

Behind her, Luster sighed.

"In that case, I will leave a mark on you in the spirit world. If necessary, I will try to forcibly awaken you."

Hiltina didn't stop, but nodded silently.

The figure of the young knight and her flowing chestnut hair quickly disappeared into the next room.

And Rast didn't say anything else, he just turned off the oil lamp and lay back on the bed quietly.

Time passed by minute by second in the darkness.

pat.

pat.

Until the moment the clock hand pointed to twelve o'clock midnight.

The thick white fog silently engulfed the entire Dongshui Town, along with all living things in it.

Chapter 61 This is the most perfect ending, but it is not the ending I want (two in one)

When Rast opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside the window.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes in confusion, only then he realized that the furnishings in the room in front of him were quite familiar.

It wasn't the guest room in the mayor's house... but the bedroom where he had lived for countless days and nights.

He wanted to move his body, but found that his legs had lost feeling for some reason.

It was at this moment that Rast noticed the itch on his arm and the faint breathing sound.

The blonde girl was sitting on a small stool next to the bed, her hands resting on her knees.

Light golden hair scattered along the edge of the wooden bed, and a few strands fell beside Rast's hand.

Her fair and pretty face was peaceful and gentle, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and she was sitting on a small stool, sleeping quietly.

Amys, his childhood sweetheart.

In other words, this wasn't the Frozen Water Town in the aftermath of the disaster... but the small home in Canaan that belonged to him and Amis.

Luster turned his gaze and looked out the window.

What came into view was indeed not the white mist of Dongshui Town that seemed to never dissipate, but the azure sky.

Beneath the azure sky are rolling mountains with snow-capped peaks.

At the foot of the mountains, next to the silver mirror-like lake, a huge waterwheel is turning slowly, and the windmill blades cast a huge shadow on the lake.

Such beautiful scenery is enough to heal all the scars in the traveler's heart.

As if she noticed that Last had stood up, Amy's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The next moment, she opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful sky blue eyes.

Then, the look in her eyes changed from confusion to surprise.

"Laster, you finally woke up."

"Although Miss Hiltina said you're fine, just mentally traumatized and need to sleep for a while to recover... I'm still a little worried since you've been in a coma for so long and haven't woken up yet."

A silver bell-like voice rang in Rast's ears.

He held his forehead, which was aching and splitting, and said, "Xiao Ai...was I unconscious for a long time?"

"Well, after Miss Hiltina sent you back to Canaan, you were unconscious for another nine days."

"According to Miss Hiltina, she originally wanted you to stay at Star University. After all, that's where the best medical facilities are."

Amys tilted her head, a few strands of her long, light-blonde hair falling beside Rast's hands. Her eyes flashed with a look of trying to recall something:

"However, the school doctor at Starry University suggested that purely physical injuries can be healed in the Night World... However, it's difficult to heal mental trauma solely through external forces. Only in an environment that's most familiar and relaxing for the injured can time slowly heal the wounds."

"That's why she went to great lengths and used all her connections to find Canaan and send you back here."

"Originally, Miss Hiltina wanted to stay in Canaan and watch over you until you woke up, but her status meant she couldn't leave the academy for too long. She had no choice but to go back to take care of some matters the past two days."

There was so much information contained in Amy's words that Last could not digest it in a short time.

He supported himself on the bed with his hands, trying to force himself to stand up as his body was weak and tired due to being unconscious for a long time, but he failed every time he tried.

Looking at Rast's actions, an expression of mixed distress and anger suddenly appeared on Amy's pretty face.

She bit her lip lightly and reached out to stop Luster's attempt: "Counting the time before, Luster, you have been in a coma for more than two weeks."

"You are now a complete patient and need to recuperate quietly. You are not allowed to abuse your body anymore!"

As she spoke, Amys ran out in a hurry.

Soon, the tempting aroma of food came from outside the door...

When the blonde girl pushed the cart into the room again, it was already filled with food.

There is white porridge, as well as stewed vegetables and desserts.

"You are very weak now. This is all you can eat for now."

"Once your body has recovered, Rust, I'll cook some of my specialties and reward you."

"My cooking skills are quite good. Even a noble lady like Hiltina praised my dishes highly after tasting them."

A proud expression appeared on Amis's delicate face.

She pushed the cart to the side of Rast's bed, picked up a bowl of millet porridge, and scooped a spoonful with a spoon.

Amys tested the temperature herself before carefully feeding it to Rast's mouth.

Feeling the warm, sweet porridge spreading in his mouth, Rast spoke softly.

"You mean, Hiltina and I successfully escaped from the remnant of the disaster, and she found Canaan herself and sent me back?"

"Ah."

Amis nodded briskly. "Miss Hiltina told me that you and she encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy in that reverberation of the disaster. He seemed quite adept at mental contamination. The Starry University reconnaissance team was wiped out by this very act."

"Laster, you were attacked by the other party, and your mind was traumatized, so you even lost this memory..."

"However, it seems that I expended too much energy dealing with you, and therefore was distracted from Miss Hiltina, allowing her to successfully defeat the pollution's main body and clear the level of the Calamity Reverberation."

Amys carefully fed Luster the porridge, then continued speaking as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Her arrival in Canaan was something that happened later."

"It seems that Canaan, where we are, and Granville, where Miss Hiltina is, are in a hostile relationship, and communication is slow."

"Plus, Canaan is too remote and has very little contact with the outside world, so the name of Canaan is not recorded on the map of Granville Kingdom."

"Miss Hiltina also put in a lot of effort and used all her connections to finally find this place."

As if to change her mood, Amis clapped her hands lightly.

"But no matter what... all these troublesome things are over."
