I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

——When I was fighting with the Herrscher of Corrosion just now, did you think I would lose?

"No, from the beginning, I knew you would win."

——Do you trust me, or do you calculate it?

"..."

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"Of course it's trust."

After a brief exchange, Sakura couldn't help herself.

Seeing the room that was like a powder keg just now becoming as quiet as a winter forest, she was eager to know what had happened.

"Don't worry about it. Just think of it as me having some special power that happens to restrain this virus-type Herrscher."

Ye Ming also saw through Ying's thoughts and made up an excuse to get away with it.

"So... you have long been confident that you can destroy it?"

"Well, the only difficulty is how to protect Ling."

As he spoke, Ye Ming wanted to pat Ying's shoulder to show her that she had done a good job, but when he saw her long fox ears trembling slightly, he couldn't help but stroke them.

"Well……"

At that moment, Sakura was startled, and it took her a moment to realize that this was a celebration. Then she relaxed and a sweet expression appeared on her face.

She finally realized that Ye Ming had made Ling fall into a false death and lured the Herrscher to change his target for this purpose.

"But, with both of us present, how can you ensure that the Herrscher won't infect us and go straight to the computer?"

Ye Ming thought a lot about this, and he was also considering how to explain it to the other party concisely.

"Ling was drained of her biological energy by me, and then frozen by your power. She is like a dead tree, unable to provide any nutrients to the other party."

"If the Herrscher is transferred from such a host, his already fledgling body will only become more stunted. If he wants to infect all of us, he will have to take a huge risk."

"You and I have just demonstrated our strength, and we are the culprits who forced her to migrate. The Herrscher should be aware of the threat we pose to her."

"On the other side, there is the most suitable soil for her to survive and multiply, full of nutrients, and without any risks."

There is no need to explain further, it is obvious what to choose.

"But...how can you be sure that she won't take this risk? Can you see through her thoughts?"

To try to figure out the mind of a lawyer is something that has never been heard of or seen before.

Sakura can't do it, Mei can't do it, and no one in the entire Fire Moth can do it.

"I can't do it either." Ye Ming admitted it frankly.

The law-givers of previous civilizations are different from those of current civilizations. Their humanity is not yet complete. Judging them by human standards will only increase the absurdity.

"I'm not trying to figure out what she's thinking. On the contrary, I'm betting that she has no ideas."

Speaking of the word gambling, Ye Ming's hands clasped together unconsciously. Even now, he was still a little nervous.

"Everything a virus does, including multiplying, is done to survive."

"The more advanced the virus, the stronger this instinct is."

“I can’t figure out the minds of smart people, but stupid viruses can lead people astray.”

"So I bet that she... is the smartest virus and will only choose the most correct path."

Only a wise man would plan like this, and only a fool would gamble like this.
