"However... the dungeon entrance is random, so I can't be sure if I can help you catch up with him."
The blonde woman stared at Fan Xiao for a while.
Under the glow of the pale flames, she could tell that the other person was not lying.
Every word I said was true and undeniable.
And... this man seems a little familiar?
That's right! The phantom in the River of Time that provided the talent "Angel of Slaughter" seems to be him!
It turns out we're kindred spirits.
In an instant, all the suspicion and hostility in the blonde woman's heart vanished.
She nodded slightly and said to Fan Xiao, "You're not bad."
She took out a short sword engraved with a flame emblem from her storage space and handed it to Fan Xiao.
After taking it, Fan Xiao asked in confusion, "What is this...?"
"Token of affection".
The blonde woman reminded her, "With your abilities, you will definitely go to the initial zone in the future and take this sword with you. Then you will understand its significance."
After giving the reminder, she dropped the admiration in her eyes and became stern again: "Open the door. We can't let that annoying liar get away."
Do you hate scammers?
"Then you and I are really incompatible..." Fan Xiao thought to himself, but on the surface he still said respectfully, "Okay, please come in."
After saying that, he used his access permissions again, dragging the blonde woman into the fairytale town, and randomly opened a door, sending her out.
Whether William can escape depends on his fate.
"Senior sister, what is this?"
Fan Xiao stroked the short sword in his hand, then asked Yu Xuezhao.
"A token," Yu Xuezhao replied.
“…I know it’s a token,” Vanshaw asked. “I mean, what is its purpose?”
"I don't know, but it's probably related to Zoroastrianism."
Yu Xuezhao replied, "'Zhuo Worship Cult' is a player organization created by 'Absolute Justice'. That blonde woman is considered one of the top candidates for the thirteenth leader of 'Zhuo Worship Cult'."
"Many people believe that she has the highest probability of becoming the leader because she is highly regarded and recognized by 'absolute justice'."
"The Zoroastrian Church... its thirteenth leader... how long has the Zoroastrian Church been established?"
"A few decades, I guess," Yu Xuezhao replied. "I haven't paid attention to the exact time."
"A few decades and we've reached the thirteenth leader?" Fan Xiao asked, quite puzzled. "What about the previous leaders?"
"It's dead."
Yu Xue said matter-of-factly, "The Zoroastrians like to meddle in other people's business, and the mortality rate of the entire sect is very high."
"Of the twelve leaders mentioned earlier, I heard that some died in their conflicts with the game company, while others were killed for meddling in other people's business and turning their backs on other super players."
"...Are they really that stubborn?" Fan Xiao continued, "The cult leader has been killed...what will 'Absolute Justice' do?"
"Naturally, it's for revenge. It's no secret that 'Absolute Justice' frequently battles other super players."
Yu Xuezhao said with a sigh, "There are at least three known super players who have died at her hands. Even the teacher was once targeted by her and they fought each other."
"Oh?" Fan Xiao asked curiously, "What was the result?"
"I don't know. I asked, but the teacher didn't say."
Yu Xuezhao replied, "According to rumors from the outside world, that battle had no result. Because the aftermath of the battle was too great, it destroyed a lot of space and caused great disaster, so it was left unresolved."
She glanced at the short sword in Fan Xiao's hand and said, getting back to the main point, "Keep this. It might come in handy when you go to the initial zone later."
"Could there be some kind of trap?" Fan Xiao asked to confirm.
"Don't worry, the Zoroastrians wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics," Yu Xuezhao said with considerable admiration. "You can always trust them."
"Is it……"
"Assuming you yourself are okay."
"..."
Fan Xiao put the short sword into his storage space.
Yu Xuezhao continued, "This matter is now over. I will inform the 'Living Tribunal' that their mission is canceled, so you don't need to worry about it."
Fan Xiao nodded.
At this moment, Li Xian walked out of the open dungeon door and returned to the A1 base.
After glancing around, he asked Fan Xiao, "How is Dr. Zhuang?"
“It’s been resolved. However…” Fan Xiao shook his head: “I’m not entirely sure if it’s truly resolved.”
He tried to use the bad luck he had accumulated over half a day to marry Dr. Zhuang.
It failed.
This should be considered... Dr. Zhuang is as dead as can be, right?
As for the current extent of the interference from misfortune, Fan Xiao did not know how far the limit was.
If it were a complete S-class psionic energy, it would definitely be able to interfere with all spacetime nodes—standing here, he could directly transfer the curse to the target in the initial partition.
As for the incomplete version, the specific differences can only be known through detailed experiments.
However... at least in the spacetime convergence points starting with the letter G, Dr. Zhuang no longer exists.
He still has this bit of confidence.
"Considering the characteristics the other party has displayed, there is definitely a possibility that there are other Dr. Zhuang individuals, and it is not small."
Yu Xue fell into thought and speculated, "However, the Dr. Zhuang who had dealings with you, the same Dr. Zhuang who took Gu Hange away 10 years ago, should be the one we killed."
She had heard her junior brother briefly mention the past.
Dr. Zhuang died at the hands of his junior brother... This can be considered a revenge, and also a fateful duel.
"Hmm... let's just assume he's completely dead."
Fan Xiao sighed softly.
In that instant, he felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, and he felt much more relaxed.
Together with Gu Hange, he completed his revenge.
If I encounter other Dr. Zhuangs in the future, they will be considered strangers in terms of relationship.
Whether they are friend or foe is hard to say... No, given Dr. Zhuang's style, they will most likely become enemies.
As for what Dr. Zhuang said to him at the end... based on the meaning, he could roughly guess the hidden meaning.
Dr. Zhuang has most likely already suspected that he is an S-class psychic potential user, but he just hasn't had time to verify it.
The other party reminded him to go to the initial zone, to the "One Wing" headquarters... Does this mean that "One Wing" has a way to help him truly awaken S-class psionic power?
That's quite a tempting offer.
Unfortunately, he had already made a decision—he would never set foot in the initial zone until his strength had improved.
"Now I'm a little curious, who exactly killed Dr. Zhuang in the end?" Fan Xiao changed the subject, saying, "I don't have any hints about inheriting items."
“I haven’t received it either,” Yu Xuezhao guessed. “It’s either with Gu Hange or… in the hands of that golden guy.”
She didn't delve into the matter, but reminded Fan Xiao, "It's a pity we didn't get the props, but you don't need to feel sorry, Junior Brother."
"The task your teacher gave you this time has encountered many unexpected problems and caused a lot of trouble, even involving S-level players... I'm sure your teacher didn't expect that either."
"Can't Teacher Tina see this fate?" Fan Xiao asked.
"I'm not entirely sure about the specific function of that S-rank item the teacher possessed. All I know is that if the teacher had foreseen the current situation, he certainly wouldn't have sent only me."
At this point, Yu Xuezhao suddenly smiled slightly and continued, "You performed exceptionally well this time, Junior Brother, turning the tide in an almost completely disadvantageous situation. Don't worry, once Teacher finds out about this, he will definitely make it up to you."
"Is that so?" Fan Xiao's interest was piqued. "Looks like we can look forward to it a little."
"Yes. When I take my junior sister to see the teacher, I will tell the teacher about this experience in detail."
Yu Xuezhao made a guarantee to Fan Xiao.
She was hinting to her junior brother that she would say some nice things.
"Junior sister... speaking of which, Yin hasn't arrived yet. Could something have happened to her?"
Vanshaw's gaze fell in the direction where Shash Sen had fled earlier.
He and the others were so busy attacking Dr. Zhuang that they had no energy left to pay attention to their junior sister.
There's been no news for so long... Could something really have happened?
Although he had wished for a "successful resolution to the incident," Fan Xiao was still somewhat worried.
"Let's go look for it, Brother Fan," Yan Keke suggested. "I'll help you sense it."
"Don't worry, Master, Miss Yin will definitely be alright."
Alpha offered words of comfort.
Without realizing it, she had learned to comfort others.
Fan Xiao suddenly felt like he had gained two extra layers of cotton-padded jackets.
One is Yan Keke, the other is Al...
"Madam, you are the master's senior sister and you are very close to the master. May I ask you a few questions?"
Alpha suddenly became attached to Yu Xuezhao, whose expression was calm.
Fan Xiao: "..."
Chapter 516 Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new
In a makeshift base converted from dilapidated building ruins, Silver sipped a cup of hot milk and listened to his companions tell interesting stories.
"I heard that before the Great Catastrophe, our district had a type of sea urchin called 'Sand Coin.' It was the only one of its kind in the Ginkgo family, order, genus, and species; all the others had gone extinct, making it an orphan... Now you know how to curse people, right?"
“I’ve heard my family talk about the events before the great catastrophe. I heard that girls in that era were not very healthy and could not withstand 12 centimeters. Some would even feel pain at 8 centimeters. Some strong girls even complained that they could not stand 5 centimeters and would be in so much pain that they could not walk. But I have seen some girls who can wear 20 centimeters without any problem. How can there be such a big difference when they are wearing the same high heels?”
"Ahem... Listen up! We have female comrades here."
"Sorry sorry."
As Yin listened to the laughter and chatter of the crowd, holding the steaming milk cup in both hands, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
For some reason, she had a feeling that she hadn't sat down and chatted with everyone in a long time.
It was just a simple daily routine, yet it gave her an unusually precious feeling.
Even though everyone was very close to her, she felt that they were very far away.
Too far away to reach.
At one point, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yin.
Yin was startled and quickly asked, "Everyone... what's wrong?"
She reached up and touched her cheek: "Is there... something on my face?"
"Alsenel".
The mature woman next to him stood up, stroked silver's hair, and smiled, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, the woman turned around, approached the door, opened it, and went out.
It was snowing outside, and the woman's figure gradually blurred into the white expanse until she could no longer be seen.
Before Yin could say anything, the second person stood up, smiled at her, and said goodbye, "I should go too."
After saying that, the man turned and walked into the snow without looking back.
The figure gradually became blurry.
It's as if it's about to disappear from this world.
