"Sharp, where are you going?"

Yin called out the other person's name, but received no response.

She started to feel nervous.

Then came the third person, the fourth person... one by one, the companions bid farewell to Yin and headed to the icy, bone-chilling snow world.

Yin wanted to chase after him, but found that she couldn't move her body.

Her companions in the small base soon all left, leaving her all alone.

The firelight from the stove shone on her face, revealing her fear.

The door was closed.

The interior and exterior are completely separated.

Yin grew increasingly anxious, calling out the names of her companions repeatedly, but received no response from any of them.

As darkness descended, the lonely Silver felt an unprecedented fear and cold.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The sound entered the room, and there seemed to be an inexplicable force mixed in with it, which restored Yin's mobility.

She quickly stood up, rushed to the door, and pulled it open.

A beam of dazzling light shone in, and she followed the light...

Suddenly!

Yin woke up with a start, opened her eyes, and saw Fan Xiao appear in her field of vision.

Yin subconsciously reached out to touch Fan Xiao's face.

She had only stretched halfway when she suddenly noticed other people around her—Yu Xuezhao, Alpha, Fan Xiao's male friend, and little girls like Yan Keke from Fairy Tale Town.

Everyone turned to look at her, seemingly puzzled by her abrupt actions.

"..."

This time, Yin didn't back down. She reached out again and pinched Fan Xiao's cheek.

"..." Fan Xiao lowered his head and said, "Junior sister, are you still half asleep?"

"You have something dirty on your face, let me wipe it off for you."

Yin concealed her embarrassment and shame, stood up, resumed her aloof demeanor, and looked around at the now silent surroundings.

The people at Base A1 are still unconscious and are unlikely to wake up before dawn.

She asked Fan Xiao, "Where is Dr. Zhuang?"

“The campaign was successful,” Vanshaw asked. “What about Shash Sen?”

"died."

After replying to that sentence, Yin felt a little empty inside.

It was as if I had suddenly lost my past memories and goals; I didn't know what to think or what to do next.

“Master, I just checked, there is nothing dirty on your face.”

Alpha suddenly said, "Miss Silver is lying. She probably just wanted to touch your face. Master, was she just being a nuisance?"

Fan Xiao: "..."

This artificial stupidity... never mind.

On the other side, Silver was pulled back to reality by Alpha's voice, snapping out of his state of loss.

Shame, embarrassment, and anger toward Alpha filled her heart again, as if she had suddenly returned to a state of fulfillment.

Yes, she has new friends.

"Fan Xiao, we can't waste that pile of flesh and blood."

After seeing that Yin was alright, Li Xian got back to work and reminded Fan Xiao, "I suggest that we reawaken the consciousness of those flesh and blood, control them, shrink their size, and then transfer them to Fairy Tale Town."

"In this way, all branch members will be able to use exoskeletons... or rather, 'exo-flesh devices'. I have already merged the three types of AI into one, which can be put into practical use immediately."

"Moreover, by reassembling all the flesh and blood, we can recreate 'Flesh and Blood Hercules 019'. Judging from the previous battles... Hercules can help us pose a great threat to A-level players."

“I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it,” Fan Xiao nodded. “Take a rest first. You’ve been busy with the battle these past few days, and your mind has been too tense. You’re starting to feel the strain.”

At this point, he turned to look at Yu Xuezhao and asked, "Senior Sister, you shouldn't be in a hurry to report to the teacher, right? There are still some finishing touches to be done in Division 019, which will take some time."

"No rush," Yu Xuezhao reminded her, "but one of the branch members has gotten separated from you. Aren't you going to look for her?"

“There’s no need to worry about Bai Zhi for now,” Fan Xiao said. “She’s much safer than us.”

Yu Xuezhao nodded slightly: "Then let's rest for a few days."

"Brother Fan, do you need me to wake up these people who have fainted?"

Yan Keke, who was walking beside Fan Xiao, suddenly asked.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Fan Xiao nodded: "Their spirits have been severely drained, and their bodies are all in a weak state. Sleeping outside at night might cause some problems."

"We also need to deal with those B and C-level players and thugs that Shash Sen has gathered."

Yu Xuezhao suddenly looked to the left, her gaze seemingly traversing more than a dozen blocks, reaching a very distant place.

If she wanted her junior sister to be completely at ease and leave the 019 division, these worries had to be resolved—her eyes seemed to convey this meaning.

Senior Sister's OCD is probably acting up again; she's going to eliminate them completely... Fan Xiao didn't object to the suggestion and said, "Then let's work hard tonight. They're all gathered together now, which is a good opportunity to wipe them out. There are less than five minutes left in the battle, and they won't have time to leave with their tickets."

The group began to discuss what to do next, and before they knew it, they had set a whole host of tasks.

Yin stood not far away, her mind heavy with worries and a high wall around her heart, making her seem somewhat out of place in the lively discussion.

At one point, Fan Xiao suddenly turned to look at his junior sister, waved to her, and said, "Yin, come here, it's time for us to get moving."

A spontaneous shout tore away the aloof facade.

Yin suddenly remembered the last scene in her dream.

A world covered in ice and snow, a dilapidated little base, an open door, a dazzling beam of light shining into the room... She looked towards the light and, in the shimmering light and shadow, saw Fan Xiao reaching out his hand to her.

"Um……"

Yin suddenly smiled and caught up with Fan Xiao.

From now on, she will continue to accompany him.

……

three days later.

A6 Base.

With the help of the Jade Snow A-grade item, Yin finally found the surviving high-ranking members of the Holy Sword Alliance.

In the previous sudden encounter with Shash Sen, Echo controlled the members of the Holy Sword Alliance to charge into battle, nearly wiping out the entire alliance. However, many peripheral members who did not participate in the battle, as well as two B-level players, survived the crisis.

Noah.

Kathy.

When they met again, Yin looked at the two people who looked haggard and wanted to comfort them, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Because she came to say goodbye.

If possible, she hoped to maintain her usual aloof demeanor and arm herself with indifference, so that she could more easily refuse their attempts to stay.

"Alsenel?"

Wearing glasses that exuded an intellectual air, Cathy's cold expression vanished upon seeing Silver, replaced by a look of surprise: "You're alright... That's great! We haven't been able to contact the Alliance Leader or you for a while... By the way! Do you know what happened to the Alliance Leader? Why hasn't she responded to our repentance ceremony? Is the 'Mone Tower' instance still open?"

Perhaps she was too excited, because Cathy asked a whole bunch of questions in one breath before she calmed down a little.

Yin remained silent for a while.

She then chose to reply with a lie: "Teacher...she was murdered by Shash Sen."

"……What did you say!?"

Noah, standing next to Casey, exclaimed in astonishment.

He became extremely agitated: "How could the teacher...?"

“I’ve already avenged my teacher. I’ve dealt with Shash Sen and all the other players causing trouble at the base.”

Yin said calmly, "The ruling class of Division 019 has now been completely wiped out."

"You can take this opportunity to take over the rule of the ten bases and manage this world better. Our initial and ultimate wish... has been fulfilled."

"By the way, a lot of surviving members have gathered at Base A9. They have taken over the area. You can go to Base A9 and meet up with them."

"Shash Sen is dead...? And the other players too... How could this happen?"

Noah was still somewhat disoriented: "What exactly happened! How exactly was the Alliance Leader murdered, Alsenel, explain yourself..."

"Noah!" Kathy suddenly called out to the agitated Noah, "Don't speak yet."

"But……"

"I told you not to speak!"

Kathy glared at Noah, using the cold, oppressive force in her eyes to force her companion to calm down.

Then, she looked at Yin again and sighed softly, "Alsenel, you... aren't very good at lying."

silver:"……"

“Never mind, I’ve already guessed many things.” Cathy shook her head, not pressing for details, and changed the subject: “You’ve come to say goodbye, haven’t you?”

"Hmm... The Evolution Game is huge, I want to go out and see it, take a walk," Silver said. "Don't worry, I'll come back to see you when I have time."

"It seems you've had a lot going on... Well, it's good for you to go out and see what's going on."

Kathy suddenly laughed and said, "But... don't forget that Division 019 is your hometown. Don't leave and never come back."

“Kathy…I…”

"You'll probably be gone for a long time this time, right? I won't accept just a verbal goodbye."

Cathy suddenly opened her arms and said with a smile, "I prefer a farewell ceremony that includes a hug."

Upon hearing this, Yin didn't think much of it and gave Cassie a heartfelt hug.

Taking the opportunity, Kathy patted Silver on the back, leaned close to his ear, and whispered comfortingly, "The Alliance Leader is the Alliance Leader, and we are us. No matter where you go in the future, the Holy Sword Alliance will always be your strongest support."

"..."

Yin paused for a moment.

Instinctively, she tightened her grip and hugged him even more.

After hugging for a long while, she finally separated from me and said, "I no longer use the name Alsenel. Silver... this is my new name. Casey, Noah... goodbye."

“Yes,” Casey smiled, “Goodbye.”

Yin turned and left, walking away with a carefree air.

Seeing this, Noah looked at Casey with displeasure and questioned, "Why did you stop me from asking clearly just now!"

"Didn't you see how indifferent the child's attitude was when he mentioned the Alliance Leader?"

Kathy sighed softly, "Let's not pursue this any further. Let's just pretend... let's just pretend that the Alliance Leader really died at the hands of Shash Sen."

"For us surviving members of the Holy Sword Alliance, this may be the best ending."

……

A9 Base.

It has been almost four days since Alpha arrived here with Yu Xuezhao.

Having received Fan Xiao's order to "act freely," she followed her procedural instincts and began "studying" at the A9 base again, in addition to taking care of Yu Xuezhao's daily needs.

Her chosen "learning target" was the elderly people who lived outside the black walls and had been driven out of the base.

It's not that she likes to bully the old, weak, sick, or disabled... no, she's not bullying people, she's learning.

Alpha discovered that when she tried to talk to pedestrians inside the base and ask them questions, she was easily ignored, and if she was unlucky, she would even get beaten up.

Even though no one can beat her.
