"..." Yin said coldly, "You say this is sincerity... You don't really think I'll join you, do you?"

"You reject us because you haven't seen the big picture and are only fixated on one aspect."

Dr. Zhuang tilted his head and looked at the mansion being slaughtered in the distance, and slowly said, "This is a chaotic world division. The ruling class has long been corrupt, inserting tubes into the people and constantly sucking their blood."

"But good and evil exist in opposition, and human nature is complex."

"No group is in an extreme state."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Yin asked, frowning.

Knowing that Dr. Zhuang had many children, she temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​immediately getting rid of the Dr. Zhuang in front of her.

She is trying to gather a lot of information from Dr. Zhuang's world of guilt memories in order to know him and his enemy.

“Look ahead,” Dr. Zhuang pointed to the mansion, “that’s the mansion of a merchant family. There are 21 family members and many hired servants. They are being slaughtered right now, becoming the food for the cannibalistic players’ feast.”

Then, he pointed to the people around him and continued, "Look at these ordinary people, don't many of them have expressions of great satisfaction on their faces?"

"The people feel relieved that the exploiters who used to bully others have been brought to justice," Yin said unmoved.

"Look, you see the trees but not the forest, you don't know the whole picture, and you've already made a hasty conclusion."

Dr. Zhuang shook his head: "That business family rose from the bottom up. They did not act arrogantly or domineeringly. On the contrary, they were charitable and did a lot of good deeds. Over the years, they have helped many poor people."

"During the disaster, they did not forget to help the people in the surrounding area. They took over the government's responsibilities, opened their own food warehouses, and saved many people's lives."

"Until the Evolution Game arrived, the world was plunged into complete chaos, the ruling class collapsed, society entered anarchy, everyone lived in fear every day, and for a time all regions were in riots."

"In this precarious situation, the merchant family, in order to protect themselves, stopped their generosity and ceased providing food to the nearby people."

"Then……"

Dr. Zhuang's gaze returned to the mansion, and he said, "As you saw, they are being slaughtered."

Silver felt a little uncomfortable: "It's the players who are slaughtering..."

“Those cannibalistic players come from this area,” Dr. Zhuang said. “They were born from the people.”

He sighed softly and continued, "This is my hometown, and that mansion being slaughtered is my former home."

"In that feast started by the cannibalistic players, my parents, sisters, brothers, uncles... everyone was eaten up from top to bottom."

"Because I was young, I had never shown my face outside, and the people living nearby did not know I existed... Therefore, I hid in the most secluded basement and escaped the disaster."

"..."

Yin looked around and saw that some people had expressions of reluctance on their faces.

She paused for a few seconds and then said, "Not everyone is gloating."

"Do you think I'm condemning them?"

Dr. Zhuang shook his head again, his emotions calm and deep as a lake: "No, they are just a microcosm of humanity. Humans have their flaws, but they also have their good side."

"As I just said, no group is in an extreme state."

"People go to extremes because of their environment. When you can't even afford to eat, you can't expect the people around you to continue to uphold and abide by good morals."

Without waiting for Yin's response, he continued, "The Evolution Game brought evolution, a colorful and vast world, but it also brought countless hells. The glamorous world is built on piles of corpses. Humanity has become capable of destroying the world, which has given evil a more solid breeding ground."

"Two-legged sheep, exchanging children to eat... My hometown is just an insignificant ripple in hell."

"Your hometown, Zone 019, is the same."

"There are even cases where a super player, in a fit of rage, can cause millions of corpses to lie in wait and blood to flow throughout the entire region."

"Since you are determined to change your hometown, why not broaden the scope of your determination and benefit more people?"

"Why are you telling me all this?" Silver eyes said coldly. "Are you trying to tell me that you've actually been doing good deeds all along?"

"Undoubtedly, we have done evil. But our ultimate goal as 'One Wing' is to create a perfect world where everyone can be happy."

Dr. Zhuang's tone was calm and not impassioned.

If you've already made up your mind about something, why bother to cheer yourself on?

As seekers of the Way, we will only move forward in silence, nothing more.

"Don't you find it disgusting to say that!"

Unable to contain her anger, Yin retorted sarcastically, "The research institute you built in Division 019 killed so many young children, and you still dare to talk about creating a happy world? What's the difference between your actions and those disgusting bastards?!"

Why would you doubt this? I am fundamentally different from them.

Dr. Zhuang said calmly, "We want to create a paradise for everyone, but they only see their own desires and chase after hell itself."

"When you do small acts of kindness, you can only take care of your own immediate surroundings. But when you commit great evils, it is a prerequisite for us to achieve great things."

"Evolution games can only be broken down and rebuilt; they cannot be changed from the inside. You will understand this once you know the essence of evolution games."

"We've done plenty of good things, as you see them. But often, we have no choice in order to achieve our ultimate goal."

"All you do is talk a good game!" Silver said. "Why don't you experiment on yourself? Torture yourself a little?"

Dr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Why would you think... I didn't do that?"

"Don't waste your energy!" Yin simply didn't believe it: "There's no way I'll join you!"

"I didn't expect to convince you so easily."

Dr. Zhuang said without changing his expression, "I used to be just like you, and I was also very opposed to the 'one-wing' approach."

"After traveling through all the nodes of time and space and witnessing countless moments of despair, I finally understood one thing: simply having the awareness to do good deeds is not enough."

"In order to achieve the ultimate goal, we have to do bad things too."

He glanced at the crowd around him, changed the subject, and regained his composure with a smile, saying, "This world is fake, isn't it? Like a dream under the rules of reality."

"Past guilt and regret cannot hold me back."

“Our level of awareness is not the same.”

"..."

Yin did not reply and directly activated the Silver Court.

I thought that as a player at an earlier stage, Dr. Zhuang's world of guilt must be extremely dangerous.

The result... turned out to be a world that had just been drawn into an evolution game, and there were probably very few C-level players.

Given the strength Dr. Zhuang has displayed, he could easily sweep through this world without any obstacles, even without spiritual enlightenment.

Leaving this guy in the instance would be extremely dangerous.

Once the instance closes, this Dr. Zhuang might become the "locator" for the S-rank Dr. Zhuang outside.

We must eliminate him in the instance!

With that thought in mind, Yin no longer hesitated and reached out to touch Dr. Zhuang's body in the false time, creating a medium.

The transfer permissions were quickly activated.

She consumed her lifespan, turning everything into facts and overwriting reality.

As soon as the Silver Garden shrank, Dr. Zhuang's figure immediately disappeared from the spot and was transferred into her "realm of self".

Forced detachment—Silver once again activated his instance privileges, returning himself to the pure white space.

Then, she descended into her own "id" realm for the second time.

As the dungeon boss, she can re-imprint her "true self" onto the pure white space at any time, making it a real world. At that time, the simulated humans inside will obey her commands.

So she doesn't need to worry about how to get through the 15 days inside and then come out—as an "outsider," she will be targeted by the world's malice, and when she can't hold on any longer, she can simply "realize" the world.

The next second, her vision cleared again, and Yin looked up and found Dr. Zhuang's figure in the outer area of ​​Xier Park.

Dr. Zhuang also saw the silver descending.

He showed no surprise, his gaze remained calm, and he said in a composed tone, "You... you've transferred me into your 'realm'?"

"In the end, what you're doing is pointless. Echo reported to me about the 'Mone Tower' dungeon. The people in the 'Real World' not only do not obey the dungeon boss's orders, but they are also hostile to the dungeon boss."

"You've dismantled the A1 base in reality and reverted it to the memory world... Could doing this increase the level of danger?"

"Hmm... Let me guess, in Base A1, there are players who possess the ability to interfere with the id, ego, and superego levels?"

If a player possesses abilities that are essentially the same as the rules of the dungeon, they can naturally gain a significant advantage in the world of memories... for example, by using their abilities to leverage additional power to empower themselves.

Yin did not answer the question, but said coldly, "You have no chance to resist anymore. This is your graveyard."

"Are you thinking of finishing me off, ending the instance early, and then making your escape?"

Dr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Then you may be disappointed. The speed at which the 'me' outside returns to the 019 partition should be faster than you think."

"Moreover... the id, ego, and superego are also within my domain of intervention."

"In this dream world of memories, the power I can unleash is far greater than it is outside."

"..."

Silver's expression turned serious.

She really hadn't expected that.

Players can unleash their full potential in the "Real World," and Dr. Zhuang's A-grade items can operate at full power. Now, he has gained new power... Can Memory Fan handle it?

“If it were Gu Hange, she would definitely test me outside, assess my abilities, and then decide whether to drag me into the ‘realm of self’.”

Dr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Cassandra, there is only one reason for your defeat—your experience is too shallow."

Yin secretly raised his guard.

She wasn't too worried about her own safety.

With the Silver Court's protection, she always has the advantage of striking first.

Even Gu Hange's psychic powers couldn't completely seal her abilities.

To Yin's surprise, after Dr. Zhuang finished speaking, he stood still and showed no intention of attacking.

Yin took a few steps back and asked, "What are you planning?"

"You seem eager for me to make my move now? It seems you're quite confident in your backup plan."

Dr. Zhuang remained unmoved and said, "Unfortunately, the time is not right yet."

"You're trying to stall for time!"

Yin immediately realized what was happening.

This guy wants to delay until that S-rank Dr. Zhuang from outside the instance returns to the 019 section.

In the "realm of the self," the world's malice towards players does not descend all at once, but rather deepens gradually.

If players adhere to their assigned roles and refrain from actively displaying their power to cause any anomalies, they will not encounter significant danger for the first 20 days or so.

Yin frowned slightly and provocatively challenged, "What, are you afraid I'll use a backup plan to kill you? Since you're so confident, what difference will it make whether you make a move now or later?"

"You're right, there's really no difference in the result."

Dr. Zhuang chuckled, "Even if I were to flatten this world now, I could take the opportunity to return to my 'true self,' and incidentally complete a new level of quest, thus regaining control of the situation. However..."

He said calmly, "If we can resolve things in a safe way, then we should be safe. Why be so aggressive?"

"..."

Yin gritted her teeth secretly, feeling a little anxious, but she had to force herself to remain calm.

Dr. Zhuang... is really difficult to deal with!

As expected, no player who can advance to S-rank is simple!

The current situation has, in turn, constrained her—if she were to attack Dr. Zhuang now and force him to reveal his power in retaliation, she would instead be targeted by the malicious intent of this memory world first.

Memory Fan Xiao's strength is no joke; her Silver Court might be shattered in an instant, which is quite dangerous.

She absolutely must not make the first move.

……

Partition 019.

A1 Base.

After Gu Hange returned here, she used the "Magic Mirror of Sincerity" to find Dr. Zhuang's location—in the coffee shop from before.

The coffee shop owner and staff had already been hypnotized and were used to Dr. Zhuang's habit of loitering around and getting free coffee.
