Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Echo roared, "This is the mental dimension where Cassandra's 'superego' resides. I have already established a binding connection with this place, and those chains are proof of it!"

“I’ve already told you, if I die, Cassandra also has a 50% chance of dying.”

"Even if she's lucky enough to survive, her 'superego' will be destroyed along with me. Even if you manage to save her, she will lose her morality and conscience, turning into a bloodless, tearless, insane, and cruel monster!"

“Then I guess this effect won’t last forever. It will recover someday, or…” Fan Xiao said, “She will rebuild her conscience and morality.”

"That's just your guess!"

"Really? Why do I get the feeling you're in a hurry?"

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "Don't worry, if that really happens, even I would find it quite troublesome. I admit that your move has indeed threatened me."

"Then why aren't you leaving? Now that you've already cleared the level, hurry up and leave!" Huiying said coldly, "You don't think I'm bluffing you, do you? You think I wouldn't dare to go down with you in flames?"

“No, that’s not it,” Fan Xiao said. “I’ve never doubted your character.”

Echo: "..."

"But don't rush me, I haven't finished speaking yet." Fan Xiao laughed, "You did threaten me, but... when did I ever say I was going to deal with you personally?"

After saying that, he ignored Huiying's suspicion and said to the air, "My foolish junior sister, it's your turn to take the stage."

Fan Yinyue: "..."

She was only scolded once, so she forgave him... And so, the foolish junior sister stepped forward.

Huiying exclaimed in shock: "Cassandra? You... how could you...!?"

"Teacher, it seems that greed and fear have made you lose your mind."

Fan Yinyue replied, "Fan Xiao was able to come here from the 'Realm of Self' because he must have eliminated all the crises. Under such circumstances, how could I be absent?"

"You couldn't even think of this?"

"Or... do you think I'll be stuck in my past guilt forever, never able to move on?"

"So what if you've returned!" Echo retorted angrily, "I'm already connected to this place..."

"You mean those chains?"

Fan Yinyue suddenly raised her hand and pulled—snap, an invisible spiritual thread, pulling a worn-out longsword, flew back from the depths of the chains.

This is like a signal.

Crackling sounds rang out as the chains binding Fan Yinyue's "superego" completely collapsed and disappeared.

Huiying lied about one thing.

In the area surrounding the gate that connects to the empty city, in the realm where dreams and reality clash, not all powers derived from the simulation of the instance's rules will be rendered ineffective.

At least the player's own power can still be used.

Fan Yinyue unfolded the silver courtyard, holding a longsword, communicating with the artifact and activating the talent "Fatal Weakness Inflicted". Under the dual attack, she piled up enough damage to shatter all chains - in the midst of lifespan consumption, everything was completed in an instant.

“While you were talking to Van Shaw, I had already ruined your final plan with this ‘Pale Sword,’ with this gift that Dickens… Dickens gave me.”

A cold light flashed in Fan Yinyue's eyes.

The cold light shattered the last vestiges of her affection, ushering in the moment of farewell: "Goodbye, teacher."

"Goodbye, my past."

The Silver Courtyard unfolds once more.

Huiying wanted to retaliate, but found that she could no longer connect with Cassandra's mind and could not activate her psionic powers.

The latter's id, ego, and superego have all returned to their proper places.

She has utterly failed.

In an instant, Fan Yinyue appeared behind Huiying.

Huiying's body cracked, and he collapsed to the ground.

Her appearance began to change, reverting back to the dark shadow she once was.

The shadowy figure slowly disintegrated and disappeared, clearly having reached the end of its life.

At this moment, the shadowy figure, with its last breath, raised its arm and reached towards Cassandra's "superego," towards the pure girl, seemingly wanting to reseal the seal and grasp that power.

She was unwilling to accept it...

Finally, Huiying's strength was exhausted, and his body disintegrated and disappeared.

It has become nothing more than a shadow that exists only in memories.

Fan Yinyue sheathed the "pale sword," feeling an emptiness in her heart, as if a piece was missing.

However, she no longer felt lost.

She has bid farewell to the past.

The future is still long.

She will leave the Holy Sword Alliance, leave Division 019, and leave this place that is full of deception for her.

She and Fan Xiao would go together to explore the vast and boundless world of the game.

She is no longer Cassandra Sen.

She is Fan Yinyue.

Chapter 492 Gu Hange Arrives

After returning from the "superego realm," Fan Xiao's main consciousness returned to his body.

After opening his eyes, he exited the state of being protected in the alternate dimension and returned to the gate of the large welfare home in the empty city.

The "omnipotent domain" no longer exists.

All his spiritual energy vanished into nothingness, as if he had just woken from a dream.

Fan Xiao turned his gaze and looked around, only to find that Fan Qiqi and the others were no longer there.

The guardian angel with white hair and silver eyes has also disappeared without a trace.

The illusory power simulated by the instance rules vanished like a bubble.

This actually put Fan Xiao at ease.

The empty city area here is considered part of the real world—specifically, the real world within the instance.

If, in reality, the rules of a dungeon could also simulate world-destroying power and countless B-grade psionic energies... that would be quite terrifying.

While feeling at ease, the sense of powerlessness triggered Fan Xiao's paranoia.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a real little angel, someone who could be summoned at any time, he said he would have to find a place to hide temporarily.

Fan Xiao has finally tasted the benefits of the guardian angel.

Compared to the Angel of Slaughter, the Guardian Angel is more useful in the early game... cough, I can't let Fan Qiqi know this.

Otherwise, there would be a huge uproar.

My knees will be kicked countless times.

and also……

Fan Xiao glanced to the side and saw a girl with half-black and half-white hair following closely behind him at the entrance of the orphanage.

"This must be where you lived before you were 6 years old."

Fan Xiao took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

In the "realm of self," he arrogantly abused his junior sister many times, but now he can no longer maintain his previous attitude.

Because he no longer possessed invincible power.

He had to be a little more polite to his junior sister.

The Silver Court's support effects are too strong. If Junior Sister were to attack him now... Fortunately, Junior Sister doesn't know the specific characteristics of the Killing Angel.

If she finds out about Fan Qiqi's existence and the four-minute time limit for the little angel... once the delaying tactic is used, he'll be in trouble.

"Let bygones be bygones."

The junior sister glanced at the orphanage once before looking away, showing no intention of going in to investigate.

Seeing her like this, Fan Xiao didn't remind her that there was a large research institute under the welfare home, which contained many photos that recorded fragments of life in the past.

People cherish the past because it is filled with many beautiful memories.

But this does not apply to Fan Yinyue.

“We’ve already completed the second task, shall we clear the level now?” Junior Sister asked Fan Xiao.

"There's no need to rush. The first mission condition of surviving for 3 days has not been met yet. Didn't you decide to start a new player life? There's no need to be as anxious and preoccupied with the 019 division as before."

Fan Xiao looked at the empty city area around him and said, "It seems that the death of the dungeon boss will not affect the basic operation of the dungeon, and our mission is still ongoing... Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that the empty city was slowly collapsing, crumbling, and disappearing.

It's like self-destruction.

The rate of self-destruction is not constant; it is constantly accelerating, getting faster and faster.

“The empty city is the ‘realm of the self’ of the reflection, which embodies her guilty memories.”

The junior sister explained, "Unlike the player's 'realm,' the dungeon boss's 'realm' is built on a substantial dungeon space and is real."

"Because it is real, it has its limitations. This copy cannot directly reproduce the complete planetary world."

"Is that so... I wonder what Huiying is feeling guilty about?"

Fan Xiao was a little puzzled. What could someone like Hui Ying feel guilty about? He didn't think about it too deeply; there was no need to anymore.

After gathering his scattered thoughts, he asked, "Why is this a ghost town? Since it's a world of memories, shouldn't it have people like us?"

“Huiying removed them all; as the dungeon boss, she has that authority,” the junior sister replied. “She probably doesn’t want people to know about her past, so she canceled the simulation of humans. This empty city, however, is a fundamental part that can’t be removed.”

"Is that so... It seems you're in control of this instance now." Fan Xiao said with a slightly wistful expression, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain the source of this information... right?"

"Hmm." The junior sister nodded and admitted it directly: "Huiying died in my 'Superego Realm' and the dungeon access was transferred to me."

Since ending things with Huiying, she has never called him "teacher" again.

Fan Xiao immediately looked on with envy and said, "You're really lucky."

He is really envious!

Finding a B-rank dungeon for free—that's incredible luck... Well, "after hardship comes happiness" seems more fitting.

"It's all thanks to you."

The junior sister stared at Fan Xiao for a while, then said, "I... I don't really like this instance. If someone I know expresses a strong desire to get it from me, I... I might consider giving it to them directly."

"..."

Fan Xiao didn't respond to that, and instead got down to business: "When I entered my 'realm of self' before, it was 10 PM. During our three-day survival period, will we be forced to enter the 'realm of self' every night at 10 PM?"

"Don't worry, you'll only enter once. After clearing the 'Real World' level, players won't be forced to enter again. After all, there's no point in entering a second time; the 'Real World' tests your character."

The junior sister suggested, "If you're worried, we can clear the level and leave now."

"Now there are only the two of us left in the dungeon. The other two players chose to clear it and leave not long ago."

"Once we leave, this instance will be forcibly closed."

"No, let's stick to the plan. We'll wait until the survival time expires and all the dungeon quests are completed before making any further decisions."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "It's not just about the mission. You also need to recover first and get your mind and body back to their best condition."

"After all, once we get out, we're likely to have a tough battle to fight."

"You mean Shash Sen?"

Fan Yinyue has already seen Shash Sen's memories and knows that her "father's" most powerful method is the A-level item "Alfonso's Temple".

They also learned of its drawbacks—the activation of the item depends on the entire population of the A1 base.

Therefore, there are two ways to directly block Shash Sen's item advantage.

First, we need to resolve the issue of the residents of the entire A1 base.

Secondly, they should find a way to destroy the foundation of Base A1, thereby depriving "Alfonso's Temple" of its home and making it impossible for it to operate within Base A1.
